Summary
“Listen, princess.” He got closer, bringing one of his hands to your exposed shoulder to make you face him. “You can’t get rid of me, let’s make that clear. So we might as well make this work, yeah?”
You looked him in the eyes as he turned you to him. His pupils were such a peculiar color. Blue like the sea and pink like the sunset. But staring into his eyes only distracted you for a moment. You two were on different stances when it came to this arrangement: he wanted to get along while you just wanted to pretend like he didn't exist.
“...Or is your heart so dry that a little sea water might break you and not rejuvenate you..?”
Or a royal AU where you get forced to marry a sea prince and learn that he can be your greatest ally.
Maybe even more than that.

Summary
Dr. Avery Aspect, a Canadian physicist fresh out of their post-doc, is thrilled to be hired to be Bruce Banner's lab assistant. Sure, they're in the belly of the super-powered beast, but so long as no one finds out about the true scope of their own mutation, they should be left to pursue their research, unharried by superheroes or supervillains.
They don't even last two days. And all bets are off from there.

Summary
In Taisho-era Japan, Fujisaki Leila is an outcast twice over, for the color of her skin, and for a spirit that refuses to break. Sold by her cruel aunt into an abusive arranged marriage, Leila sees her life as a cage preparing to lock forever. On the eve of her wedding, she chooses the only freedom she has left: she runs.
Her desperate flight from one monster leads her directly into the path of another. She doesn't find safety in the dark woods, but instead comes face-to-face with Akaza. Yet, instead of the swift death she expects, Leila is met with a strange and terrifying mercy.
A fragile, impossible bond forms between the runaway bride and the disciplined demon, a connection that forces Akaza to confront the last vestiges of his buried humanity. But their forbidden love is a heresy in a world at war, making them enemies of both the Demon Slayer Corps and the demonic forces of Kibutsuji Muzan.

Summary
Hermione Granger has always been sensible, logical, and immune to reckless charm. Sirius Black has always been none of those things.
Falling in love was never part of Hermione’s carefully ordered life, but Sirius never cared much for rules.
So when laughter turns into late-night debates, when baking pies leads to dancing in the drawing room, and when mischief slowly becomes love, neither of them really stand a chance.

Summary
Ellie Miller has spent twenty years building a life she can stand. She produces records in Nashville, owns a condo, and has her name tucked into liner notes. Her routine is set: late nights in the studio, crowded music halls, and just enough distance from Silverlake to pretend it never really mattered.
Then one call pulls her home to where she’s needed, back into the town she gave up on long ago. Silverlake is waiting with the gym she refuses to walk into, the twenty-year reunion emails she keeps deleting, and the people she has avoided for more than half her life. Most of all Dina, the ghost she has never been able to outrun. Will Ellie discover that not everything in Silverlake was what it seemed, and that even broken bonds can be mended into something stronger than before?

Summary
“You tried to jump off the bridge and you want to be a poet?” James laughed. “I’d say you’re halfway there. You know what happens when you know so much about the world like that. You go insane with the realness of it all, just like Plath.”
One day in the small midwest town of Blessing, Minnesota, nineteen-year-old Regulus stands on the edge of a railing in pouring rain, ready to jump, when he hears somebody shout from the bluffs. The voice belongs to James, a man just as deeply broken as Regulus is, who convinces him to take another path. With James' insistence, they slowly start to thread a life together, string by string, and Regulus finds himself, at last, wanting to live.

Emotional Support Himbo: Please Don’t Ask How He’s Doing by RoadsideFlower
Fandoms: Soul Eater (Anime & Manga)

Summary
A grief comedy starring one man, one son, and a thousand bad coping mechanisms.
It’s been a month since Lord Death’s passing. Kid, newly ascended and freshly coronated, has thrown himself into work, wearing composure like a mask. He strives to be everything everyone needs: a leader, a symbol, a son who doesn’t falter.
But beneath the surface, the ache lingers. Grief doesn’t fade with duty.
What comforts Kid most is knowing he’s not the only one who didn’t get the memo to move on—and that Spirit, in all his flawed tenderness, offers distraction not to erase the pain, but to make space for surviving it. Usually with bad jokes, worse timing, and hot tea (take that as you will).
And maybe, in helping Kid heal, Spirit might finally begin to forgive himself.

Summary
If he could, he'd write poems on how pretty she looked, on how perfect she was. He'd probably make the next Catullus or even better, he'd dare say. Everyone would love to read about her and how she makes him feel. He even wonders how she isn't loved, worshipped in fact, by everyone but he's glad he's the only one whom she hops to whenever class is dismissed, the only one to have her cheeks explore all possible shades of red, the only one whose arms she'd willingly fall asleep in between.

Summary
After finally shifting and stepping into her role as an alpha, Enid Sinclair should feel powerful—complete. Instead, her family looks at her like a stranger, their silence sharper than any claw. At the edge of breaking, she finds an unexpected lifeline: Wednesday Addams.
Armed only with a memorized phone number and an unsettling knack for knowing when Enid is unraveling, Wednesday reaches out. The calls are short, blunt, and anything but comforting in the usual sense—but for Enid, they become the only moments she feels truly seen.
As she struggles with her new identity and the widening rift at home, Enid begins to turn toward the one person who refuses to flinch from her: Wednesday. And though neither of them would admit it yet, this is the beginning of something far more dangerous—and far more important—than either could have predicted.

Summary
Nathaniel Wesninski is dead. Or at least that's what the world was supposed to believe.
The eldest son of a cult leader in the woods of Northern Wisconsin, Neil escaped a life of fire, silence, and ritualized abuse by smuggling his four younger siblings to freedom and then disappearing. Years later, he resurfaces on the Foxes' Exy court under a stolen name, still running, still watching the shadows, still branded by the past he swore he'd never speak aloud.
This is not the story of a boy with no future. This is the story of five red-headed siblings, one found family, and the price of staying.
Or, alternatively, Neil has four younger siblings who are all as feral and unhinged as he is. -

Summary to Follow
Author's note:
This is an updated and reworked version of two older stories I wrote in 2019; Tales of an Endless Heart and Welcome to the Neighbourhood. I tried to overhaul them back in 2023, but then life went insane and it's taken two years before I could look at this again - apologies to anyone who's been waiting for this story to continue. The format might end up a little different from how it was previously, in a bid to make sure I can finish the update this time!
Please note, rude comments will not be published. If you don't like the content, understand this wasn't written for you and move on. -
