The Threads of Fate is a collection of short stories by Arias ViridianVT that focus on the nurture vs. nature storytelling style. Each story centers on a character dealing with the terrible hand that fate dealt them and choosing to strive through hardship to achieve a specific goal and how friendship can impact their story. In "the other me." We see a machine that was built with the idea of mass casualty, gaining sapience and a sense of self. We see him wrestling with the atrocities he committed before having free will and attempting to prove to himself that he is a good person. In "The Urchin, The OX, and The Redfish." We are introduced to Malik. A street urchin who has always been an outcast and never really belonged anywhere surprised as one of the outsiders he meets actually treats him like a person and he wrestles with the idea of self-worth and social stigma. And in "Sealed Away." We meet Arias. A being who is naturally violent and corrupting. Attempting to live as a normal person and failing to resist the darker impulses of their mind.
