From where it all started with SCP-173 being posted to 4chan, no one thought this group called "the SCP Foundation" would last until today.
From Tieba to the old forum, and then to Wikidot, no one dared to declare that the Chinese Branch could develop all the way to SCP-CN-3000, with the most articles of any foreign branch.
To our past selves, the fact that all this happened would seem like a miracle, but looking back, every step taken by the Foundation is already its fate.
Standing at the intersection of miracles and fate, we invite all SCP fans to light their sparks and tell us what "miracles" and "fate" really mean.

Rules
- The themes are Miracles/Fate.
- We call happenings so dazzling, so unbelievable as to be unthinkable "miracles". We wish for them often, but we cannot control their occurrence. We gaze at them, seemingly close enough to grasp, yet unfathomably far away. We can only wait for them to grace our presence — or can we summon one through sheer force of will?
- We call events that must come no matter how much we fight them "fate". We often detest its arrival, but are powerless against it. We yearn to be free of it, but is it always a bad thing?
- We always believe that miracles can break the dreary chains of fate, but are miracles not themselves fated? Is it not a miracle that we are here today, having come so far? If fate smiles on us, would that not be a miracle to those around us? Please, tell us what "fate" and "miracles" really mean to you.
