Who did I piss off to end up as The Black Queen?

"Is this some kind of joke?" I whispered in shock, my voice trembling as I stared at the reflection in the ornate mirror before me. Well, her mirror. The polished silver showed a face I knew all too well-just not my own. Pale skin, a cascade of silver-gold hair, and violet eyes that could only belong to one person."Who the hell did I piss off to become her? The Black Queen?" My words were almost a growl as I gripped the edges of the vanity, the cold metal biting into my fingers.That's right. One moment, I was just me, heading home after another long day, and the next... a car came out of nowhere. I don't even remember the impact, not really. It was too fast. No flashes of light, no angelic choirs-just darkness. And then I was here.The next thing I knew, a maid was shaking me awake, her voice trembling with reverence as she called me Princess Rhaenyra.Yeah. That Rhaenyra. The Black Queen herself. The one and only Maegor with tits.…

Waking up in my eight-year-old body is... bizarre. To say the least.I lie there for a second, my heart hammering in my chest, feeling like I've been crammed into a too-small suit. It's not just the size of the bed, though that's throwing me off too. The sheets feel too big, the pillows too high. It's me. I'm smaller. Weaker. And-ugh-there's that nagging sensation of being powerless that comes with it. The urge to flip out is immediate, but I force myself to stay calm. Breathe. I've been through worse.It takes a moment, but the memories come flooding back. The ritual. Raven, Constantine, the plan-trapping our consciousness into our younger selves, sending us hurtling back through time to fix everything we screwed up.Guess it worked.…

John didn't ask for this. He didn't sign up to be a hero, a savior, or whatever nonsense the universe seemed to have in mind. Time travel was complicated enough without stumbling across imprisoned magical deities. Yet, here he was-an unwilling do-gooder with a growing list of freed gods, spirits, and eldritch beings who now owed him favors. Not that John wanted their help. He just wanted a quiet life, free from divine drama and cosmic messes. But no, every time he turned around, there was another desperate deity locked up in some ancient relic or cursed dimension. He tried ignoring them. He really did. But then guilt-or perhaps sheer bad luck-always dragged him back. Now he's neck-deep in magical debts, interdimensional grudges, and a timeline so tangled it could strangle a lesser man. The gods might call him a savior, but John knows the truth: he's just tired. Tired of time travel. Tired of magic. And most of all, tired of being the universe's go-to handyman. Someone, please, save *him* this time. Before he snaps and uses all those favors to take a permanent vacation in a timeline where none of this exists. If such a place even exists anymore.…

The first thing I noticed was the air-warm, still, and humming with energy. My eyes opened, and for a moment, I just... breathed. I didn't dare move. I didn't even blink. I needed to be sure.The soft gold glow bathed the walls of the chamber, reflecting off the polished stone floor. It was the same. Exactly the same. My heart skipped a beat, then hammered so hard I thought it might shatter the moment. But it didn't.I was here. Azarath.The breath I'd been holding finally escaped, and I nearly laughed-nearly. Relief swept through me, sharp and dizzying, and I pressed my palms flat against the cold stone just to steady myself. It worked. The time travel spell actually worked.…

They're gone, and I'm the one still standing.The last Bat.The idea of that used to fill me with pride. Back when I thought this legacy-this insane, cursed mission-was worth fighting for. When I believed I was worthy of it. But now? I stare at the wasteland Gotham's become, and all I feel is empty.My family... all of them died believing in this. In me. They died thinking I could carry on what they started. What they fought for. And what the hell do I have to show for it? A city in ruins and a guilt that's carved into my soul so deep I don't think it'll ever heal.…

I tilted my head slightly, watching her. The shifting light of the library cast long shadows, stretching and curling along the floor like the tendrils of an unseen thing waiting just beyond sight. Change was a fragile thing, delicate in its forming, unpredictable in its results. That Gault-a nightmare, once a being of fear-had chosen to become something else entirely was a notion I was still getting used to.Never before had I reshaped a nightmare into a dream, nor a dream into a nightmare. The distinction had always been absolute, a line never crossed. But now, here she was. The first of her kind. A possibility I had not considered before. If one could change, could others? Would they want to? Would they dare? And what, I wondered, would that make me, the one who governs them? Change in the Dreaming.I almost could not believe it myself.…

Ashley Ketchum's alarm clock blared like a wild Jigglypuff concert gone wrong. She groaned and slapped at it blindly, missing twice before finally smacking it silent with a loud clunk. The sunlight was merciless, creeping in through the gap in her curtains and landing right across her face. "Ugh, Sun! Take a hint," she mumbled, yanking her blanket over her head. For a split second, she entertained the brilliant idea of using Dig to escape deeper under the covers. Her toes wiggled as if prepping for action, but her brain kicked in a moment later.Today wasn't just any day-it was the day.Her eyes shot open like a Staryu's gem, and she bolted upright in bed, her blanket flying off her like a Togekiss taking off. "Today's my first day as a trainer!" she squealed, practically vibrating with excitement. She threw her legs over the side of her bed and stood up so fast she almost tripped on her Pikachu-patterned pajama pants.…

Ash has finally achieved his dream. He was a Pokemon Master. Three times over! He was an Ace Ranger Captain, who had saved Unova and Kalos from perdition.

"Honestly, Master Anakin," Threepio began, his tone teetering between indignation and exasperation, "I still don't understand why we didn't just settle down somewhere civilized. Naboo, perhaps? Or even Alderaan! Lovely places, far less likely to involve blaster fire."Anakin didn't answer immediately, a half-smirk tugging at his lips as he tapped a finger absently against the console. "And miss out on all the fun?" he said finally, his tone dry. "Where's your sense of adventure, Threepio?""My sense of adventure, sir, is precisely calibrated for situations that don't involve you blowing up government facilities!" Threepio shot back, his arms flailing for emphasis. "You've been declared persona non grata on five planets! Five! I'm surprised we haven't been intercepted by the Senate yet.""Mostly because we have been mavericking around the wild space and the outer rim, you know the Senate does not care what happens here," Anakin let out a low chuckle, the sound warm but tinged with weariness. "Relax, Goldenrod. We've been through worse.""Worse?" Threepio nearly screeched, throwing his hands up. "Worse than being chased off a planet by an angry mob with pitchforks? What could possibly qualify as-"…

Since Qui-Gon's death, Anakin had become the anchor in Obi-Wan's life. It was Anakin who gave him purpose. There was no greater pride than seeing him surpass the other Padawans, watching him grow into the prodigy everyone had expected him to be. Obi-Wan had even allowed himself a rare indulgence-gloating about his apprentice's achievements, silently basking in the knowledge that he had helped shape the Jedi who would one day be the Order's greatest.But with that pride came an overwhelming guilt.Obi-Wan had never been able to reconcile it fully, but his attachment to Anakin-his love for him-was plain as day to anyone who knew them. The way he lit up when Anakin was in the room, the way he defended his Padawan even when the Council was less than forgiving. That connection had deepened over time, morphing from the playful, nurturing affection of a master for his apprentice into something more guarded. He had become stricter with Anakin as the years passed, holding back the casual warmth he once offered so easily, because he knew that his love for Anakin was becoming too personal, too dangerous. Attachments led to fear, and fear led... well, Obi-Wan knew where that path led. He couldn't afford to let his feelings slip into attachment, even though everyone in the Temple could see it.The truth was, Anakin was his favorite. He had always been. And that scared Obi-Wan more than any battle, more than any Sith Lord.But did Anakin know that? Did Anakin realize how much he meant to Obi-Wan? Or had he misinterpreted Obi-Wan's stricter behavior as a lack of affection? The thought gnawed at Obi-Wan. He remembered sitting by Anakin's bedside, wondering if he had ever told Anakin how proud he was, how much he truly cared for him. But when Anakin had finally woken from that coma, everything had changed.…

Padmé's expression turned thoughtful, her eyes searching Anakin's face for answers she wasn't sure she wanted to hear. After a long pause, she spoke again, her voice soft and uncertain, carrying more weight than either of them wanted to acknowledge. "Where does this leave us, Anakin?"Anakin felt a pang in his chest, his heart heavy with the inevitable conversation he's been avoiding for a while. He smiled, but it was a sad, resigned smile. One that held more understanding than words could convey. "Padmé," he began quietly, "you've always been my angel. I've admired you since the day we met, and I always will. But..." He hesitated, glancing away for a second before meeting her gaze again. "I can't feel that kind of attraction. Not for anyone."Padmé held his gaze, her brown eyes soft but full of questions. She didn't pull away from him, didn't flinch, but Anakin could feel her emotions swirling through the Force-disappointment, sadness, a tinge of heartbreak. She hid it well behind her ever-graceful smile, but the Force didn't lie. He could sense the ache beneath the surface, the sadness behind her brave face.…

"Knighted you shall be, Anakin Skywalker," Yoda said, his voice trying to be calm and wise, but it only grated on Anakin's nerves. "A general, the Republic needs. Lead a battalion of clones, you will."Anakin stared at Yoda, then at the other Masters. His gaze fell on Obi-Wan, who sat in his new seat, looking all calm and collected, as if nothing about this situation was strange or wrong. The Council, the Republic, the clones, the war-it was all barreling ahead like a speeder with no brakes, and no one seemed to think that maybe, just maybe, they were heading straight for disaster.The silence stretched, the air thick with tension. The Council waited for his response. They expected him to jump at the chance-become a Jedi Knight, a general, lead troops into battle. Save the Republic. Once upon a time, he would have jumped at the chance of being the hero.But now, is not then."Yeah, no," Anakin said finally, leaning back in his chair like he was bored out of his mind.…

Anakin closed his eyes, letting his breathing slow, feeling the Force hum around him like a gentle current. He felt Vokara Che's presence reach out, not invasive, but gentle, like a hand brushing through water, asking permission. He opened himself to the connection, allowing her to slip into his mind.The world around him shifted as her presence moved deeper, sinking into the core of who he was.Inside, Anakin's mind was a storm. Bright like a supernova, wild like a maelstrom. Vokara Che navigated the chaos with care, her presence steady as she moved through the flashes of memories, emotions, and thoughts that made up Anakin Skywalker.She saw flashes of his past-a child on Tatooine, the heat of the twin suns beating down on him as he worked on machines with grim determination, the pain of slavery. There was fear there, the constant, gnawing fear of a life not his own, a life controlled by others.The memories shifted. The pain of losing his mother hit like a tidal wave-grief so deep it could've swallowed him whole. The rage that followed, violent and uncontrollable, as he struck down the Tuskens, his vision red, his heart pounding with fury and hate.…
