    Summary

    The chatter from the hall is always buzzing the day before the exams. Kids are desperately asking for help from the others, practically begging them to explain mechanical advantages or how circuit calculations work. Quietly sitting in the corner is a certain Frenchman and Canadian. Headphones in whispering to each other like secrets no one can hear.
    “So uh, what’s the formula for mechanical advantages Este?” Lance spoke up softly looking towards his friend who was hunched over scribbling working out in his book.
    He slowly looked up through his brown curls at the confused Canadian. “Huh?”
    Lance sighed and leaned back in his seat, the pencil dropping from his hand onto his book.

    Summary

    Between life and death, there is hope for survival. Yet no matter how many sacrifices are made, every ending has the same outcome: the Rumbling razes the earth, taking the person you love the most with it.

    After you die, you reawake in the day you met your best friend, Eren Jaeger. In every loop you relive, you change one part of the story that sets it in a different direction, hoping to find the one choice that will save him once and for all.

    But you only have thirteen chances, and time is running out.

    Summary

    For Elizabeth Harper, the universe has always made sense through equations and logic. She is the girl who finds order in chaos, who believes every problem has a solution. But the heart of Clark Kent—her best friend and childhood neighbor—is a chaotic variable she cannot solve. When he asks for help to win over Lana Lang, Beth agrees, disguising her own desire for Clark under the logical pretext of applying a 'scientific method' to the problem, treating their kisses as a controlled experiment. The result, however, is an explosion of data she cannot predict: primitive jealousy, buried secrets, and an attraction that defies any law of physics. It is a journey about a girl who tries to control the uncontrollable, only to discover that the most powerful—and devastating—emotions are those that defy any formula.

    Summary

    The dead greet the living.
    We are those who wait at the end of all existence. We are those whose outstretched palm grasps infinity. We are the unchanging conclusion. We are your reflection and your foil.
    You are the infant, new from the cradle. You are they who sit upon our palm. You are the delicate assembly of experience and change. You are the unfolding entropy.
    We greet you on the knife’s-edge of the Balance that you have broken. We seek that which you have taken and sundered. We reach, now, from within that palm, to correct your blind fumbling.
    Summon your counsel. Await our arrival.

    The comms were silent. The snowing sensation had resolved within Tim’s mind but it was still there, a banked presence that he could reach for, and when he did, he heard the message again. His breathing came faster and harder.
    Jason was the first to react.
    “What the fuck?”

    ***

    Or,

    The Justice League has missed something catastrophic and tragic in equal measure.

    Good thing this is just the sort of mystery Red Robin likes to sink his claws into.

    Summary

    “You are the product of a billion unlikely things coming together, and I am so glad I get to exist in a universe with you. So many factors came to create this very moment. And whether or not it’s planned, whether or not there’s a meaning, we are here. Against all odds, we are here.”

    --

    At the end of the world, Josh Dun, a recruited astrophysicist, meets Tyler Joseph, a troubled nobody with nothing but his daddy’s money. In a fight to survive, the two form an unlikely bond amid the chaos surrounding them in the hopes of a normal life.

    Summary

    "You always do this" he said finally, watching Ratio align a probe with the vault's lip. "You come into places like this and act like the laws of probability are a thing you can put on a leash."

    Ratio did not look up. "Probability can be constrained" he said. "Within a system of manufactured possibilities, randomness is limited."

    Aventurine snorted. "Limited? That sounds suspiciously like faith dressed up in math."

    "It is not faith" Ratio replied. "It is observation and model fitting. Given sufficient samples of a system's response, you can predict its behavior"

    ---

    Or: Ratio fails to quantify luck in a mathematical formula because he feels too much for Aventurine... and then they fuck

    Summary

    Every time the actress Becky Armstrong finds herself on her extremes—highs or lows, one girl often appears, always so unexpectedly expected, to make the situation better and ground her. Despite knowing that the girl is somehow aware of who she is, Becky finds her aloofness infuriatingly intriguing—because no one has ever not gravitated towards her in admiration. Just that puzzle-loving, math nerd, just Freen.

    Freen, on the otherhand, is sick and tired of life. As a programmer, she dwells well with the puzzles and logics behind the codes she writes. But what happens when a chaotic actress disrupts her puzzle-loving, logic-driven life?

    This is a story about meetings, farewells, and things of the past. Do try to enjoy the ride?

    Summary

    Накануне Дня Прогресса второкурсник Виктор сидит в библиотеке ночью и чертит конкурсный проект. У него не очень хорошо обстоят дела с общением с другими студентами - зато очень хорошо с механикой. Но сегодня и это ему не помогает: Виктор не учёл в своих расчётах разницу между плотностью воздуха в его родном Зауне и Пилтовере. Опаздывая домой до закрытия моста между городами, он решает пойти развеяться, но натыкается на оставленный в библиотеке кем-то другим незаконченный проект.

    The rest is history.

    Что ещё будет в этой истории, кроме физики (и лирики), химии (между Виктором и Джейсом) и механики (земной и небесной)?
    Увидим!

    Summary

    Questionable physics jokes, undeniable chemistry.

    On the eve of Progress Day, sophomore Viktor stays up late in the library, working on a project. He is not very good at communicating with other students, but he excels in mechanics. However, today, even this does not help him: Viktor did not account for the difference in air density between his native Zaun and Piltover in his calculations. As it's too late to go home before the bridge between the cities closes, he decides to take a break and stumbles upon an unfinished project left in the library by someone else.

    The rest is history.

     

    I added a Mature rating just because of chapter 23, it is not graphic, but feel free to skip it if it is not your thing!

    Summary

    Sae Itoshi rarely makes mistakes. He didn’t drift, he didn’t wander: his trajectory was fixed and he never strayed from that path. That just wasn’t who he was: there were no second-chances in his mind, no time for hesitation, no room for error. It wasn’t that he was unable to admit when he did make mistakes and preconceptions: he just preferred to admit these faults less. That was something he could understand completely.

    But what Sae couldn’t understand was how a mistake could seem so wrong but feel so right.

    Summary

    "I want to kiss you," Kagiura spoke slowly, running through his mental list of everything he wished to do with Hirano. "I want to touch you; I want to hold you; I want to keep waking up early with you. I want to be with you more than anybody in the whole world."

    "Most of all," Kagiura said. He spoke as if he were revering Hirano—his god, his universe. "I want to be the only one by your side for the rest of our lives."

    Summary

    In the shimmering heart of Geneva, investigative journalist Caitlyn Kiramman is hunting the source of a mysterious new drug—Shimmer—that grants fleeting superhuman strength at a devastating cost. Her search leads her to CERN, where she collides—literally and figuratively—with Vi Laniski, a haunted ex-soldier turned security officer, whose past and family ties are tangled in the very darkness Cait is trying to expose.

    At CERN, secrets are as volatile as antimatter—and when particles collide, they never do so by accident. Cait, the data-obsessed, autistic journalist, finds Vi infuriating and irresistible in equal measure. Vi, struggling to corral her ADHD with sheer grit, sarcasm, and nonstop motion, can't help but be drawn to Cait’s magnetic intensity—even as it makes her head spin.

    Meanwhile, Vi’s estranged sister—equally neurodivergent and brilliant—is unknowingly caught in the experiment of a lifetime, and the fallout may be more personal than any of them could imagine.
