It was getting late. Irena was tired from working in the shop and cleaning the baby's nursery. She went to her room and changed. She was in the bed ready to go to sleep. Her eyes were slowly closing when she heard the door open.
She opened one eye and saw that it was Fred. She closed her eyes again. Fred got in the bed next to Irena. "Rena, are you already asleep," Fred whispered close to her ear. She felt his hot breath close to her. She still had her eyes closed and didn't respond to Fred. "Alright, goodnight," he said, still close to her, and kissed her cheek.
They both fell asleep. Irena woke up a few times to use the restroom like she normally does. It was the weekend, and they didn't open the shop on Saturdays.
She opened her eyes, expecting to see Fred sleeping next to her, but he wasn't there. She went to the restroom, and after she made her way to the kitchen. She made herself breakfast. She made a bit extra for Fred and George just in case they wanted.
"Morning, Irena," said George, getting a cup from the cabinet. George got a plate and placed a toast that Irena had made on it.
She was finishing cooking when Fred came from behind her, moved her hair, and kissed her on the cheek. Smells good, Rena, he said close to her ear and got some food. She was taken back by this.
She finished making breakfast and took a seat. Fred had a bright smile on his face. George looked between Irena and Fred. Something happened between them. They were already having a kid together, so what else could they have done while he was gone yesterday.
"The babys room looks good," George said, looking at both of them to see if their facial expressions would change.

But nothing.
"It's almost done, we are going to get the crib soon," said Irena, taking a bite from her toast. "That's true," Fred nodded. "After we are done eating, we can go," he said, looking at Irena.
Something was going on between them, George thought. He knew Fred was going to tell him soon.
"Well Im going to visit mum," said George, getting up walking to the sink.
George went to his room to change. Fred and Irena were alone at the table. He looked at her empty plate. "Are you ready," Fred asked. Irena nodded. Fred got up and took Irenas plate to the sink. Irena was still sitting on the chair. "Well, come on."

Macabre Mim
*Note: This story is on hiatus. I intend to pick it up again, but the mood of my life has shifted for the time being and I'm going to be working on a side project for a bit.* What would you give to live the life of your dreams? What kind of deal would you make? And when you were there, forced to stare your dreams in the eye and live them every day, how long would it be... before they broke you? Author's note: This is my first excursion outside the realm of villain fan fiction and I welcome feedback. The thing I've loved most about RRL so far is the potential for writing to be an interactive experience with excited readers. That said, also, the primary genre this is intended for is the blossoming realm of LitRPG. Namely, a slice of life tale in the manner of Grimgar or Re:Zero. So, likewise, I don't expect there will ever be a clear beginning-middle-and-end type of pattern to this story. It will likewise always be a bit more of a reactionary, exploratory novel into realms unknown - much like the 1800 travel-novel theme used by Jules Verne. Or, at least, that is my ambition.

Turn-Based Engineer
When James woke up five years before, he did not expect to end up in this weird, new world. Here, he found a reality filled with queer rules and magic beyond his imagination. Despite all this, he clung to his peaceful roots that he had been brought up with. With his knowledge, he could have changed the world. However, he did not wish to become some reckless adventurer or fearsome ruler; instead, he only sought to protect his loved ones and live a happy life. Sometimes though, the call of adventure forces itself upon even those who desperately wish to refuse. Warning: This story has multiple POVs. (But by chapter 15, it kind of narrows down onto James) This work is (as of now) being co-written by Zalex and Entelechy where Zalex has previously written the story, and Entelechy edits/adds pieces.

Branded
From the second Eluc awoke in this world, he was filled with questions. Why can he not remember his past, what is this White Room, and where the hell should he go? Leaving these unanswered, he could only traverse this world based on his instincts alone. However, Eluc still had one lead: the Brand upon his wrists. Author's Thoughts: I want to return to this story one day, perhaps in a re-write. Ended up writing an entire other novel and now might have the confidence to undertake this to write another story. To anyone even reading this, sorry for the hiatus but thank you for reading this attempt at a story. Beautiful cover image edited from a picture by JR Korpa
