Summary
Haunted by his past, Dean Winchester takes on the job of Lighthouse Keeper in the remote lakeside town Port Maren. Away from people, away from problems, Dean’s finally free from his demons; that is, until he discovers a journal left by the previous inhabitant of the lighthouse, Castiel Novak.
A marine biologist by trade, Castiel Novak came to Port Maren intrigued by the local legend and hoping to study the local biology. He vanished under mysterious circumstances nearly five years ago and no one in the town seems to know exactly what happened.
Dean sets out to get to the bottom of the disappearance but strange things are happening and he can’t tell if it’s his demons or the purported monster in the lake that have come back to haunt him.
AKA a reverse Shape of Water AU with elements of body horror, monster fucking, and falling in love with someone without talking to them.

Summary
"It can't end like this!" Validar proclaimed to his own traitorous flesh. "I won't allow it."
"You always have been stubborn, haven't you?"
His raspy breaths stuttered to a stop in his torn chest. That voice was one he spoke to nearly daily, the words from the throat treasured for what they would become. He knew his daughter far more intimately than he knew himself, his devotion to bringing about the resurrection of the Fell Dragon his only devotion.
"Hello, Father."
But the snarl that accompanied the words, the way the question delved into a roughness those of humanity could not possess; Validar knew he was not talking to his daughter.
"You're-" he coughed on blood that should not occupy his trembling lungs.
"This is not how it happened." The Fell Dragon's hand smudged the blood across Validar's lips. "Lucina is such a clever little girl."
Robin is the Hierophant of the Grimleal, the future Vessel of Grima, the Fell Dragon. Her life has never been her own. The amnesiac she found in a desert seems to disagree.

Summary
Azula, former Princess of the Fire Nation, left the Palace three years ago in order to build up an alliance and take her father down, once and for all. But the world is changing - the Avatar's arrival is both a blessing and a curse, and with him comes a risk she might not be willing to take. Meanwhile, in a Nation more fragmented than ever, Zuko will do everything to cut off his weakness and folllow Ozai's orders - but he doesn't know if he can kill Azula.
---
“It’s always a pleasure to watch destiny unfold."
Azula sighed, “Destiny will not win a war, Uncle. This is the result of all out hard work.”
“Ah, but just as we cannot control the skies and seas, sometimes we cannot control the path our lives take.”
“Tell me, Uncle. Do the tides control the ship, or do I?”
Uncle laughed, “Point made. Lead on, my niece, but be wary of incoming storms.”
For a moment, the world was still, and something tense settled on her shoulders. But she shook it off.
She had the Avatar, and soon she’d have the North.

Summary
Astotheles figured that if he extended an olive branch to the Ant Kingdom and helped them out with their mission, they might pay the favor back and help his people.
Mothiva needed to spring back after her blowup with Zasp, and if she could nab one of the artifacts, it'd secure her position in the Explorer's Association and the fame that comes with it.
Hoaxe found himself fighting for survival, exiled from the only home he had ever been accepted in after a plan to improve his life and get the respect of his peers went awry.
And the Ant Kingdom shuddered as it realized that its best hope of finding the Everlasting Sapling lay in the hands of a bandit, a diva, and a sneaky little mimic.

Summary
Noct watched the lake water lull against his ankles, not paying any mind as his bobber drifted lazily against his line. It was always a little off-putting, how warm the water was in his dreams despite it supposedly being nighttime, but Noct always wrote it off as a Carbuncle quirk. The little blue spirit’s whole thing was making sure he had good dreams, and freezing lake water didn’t really rank high on Noct’s list.
