    Summary

    Dave Strider, 30, has a problem: His formerly comfortable life in New Alternia Hills has been slowly uprooted over the past three years. His sister, Rose, moved away and left him her old house three months ago. After what feels like a lifetime of trying to find a new friend group, he breaks down and lets his ridiculously wealthy twin pay for some convoluted "rent-a-friend" scheme.

    Karkat Vantas, 25, needs $20,000 to pay off his student loans, and he thinks he's found a (mostly) painless way to do it. All he has to do is avoid falling for his (admittedly pretty hot) employer.

    Clearly, nothing can go wrong here.

    Summary

    "To have someone understand your mind is a different kind of intimacy altogether." — Farraz Kazi

     

    In the wake of Derek's declaration of love - and the ensuing physical exploration - Spencer had no idea what was supposed to come next. Dating? Going Out? What was the difference between those two terms on a practical level, anyway? A relationship? Wasn't any interpersonal connection between two people a relationship? At a loss, and finding books not nearly as helpful as he would have expected on the subject, he decided to follow Derek's lead. After all, Derek had been in relationships before. ...Hadn't he?

    Summary

    The good thing about working in such a chaotic environment is that no one notices when you’ve skipped meals. Langdon’s always eaten like a bird, was always teased for it by family and friends. He prefers quick snacks to big meals, and that’s how it’s always been. That’s why he works so well in the Pitt. He shoves a protein bar in his scrub pocket, knowing full well he won’t eat it later. But it makes him feel like his old self, the one before the benzos, when he pretends he still has an appetite.

    Langdon has a problem with food.

    Summary

    Five years on from a tumultuous divorce, a string of misfortunes lands you at the doorstep of your estranged ex-wife.

    She has it all: the house, the kids, a successful career, while your life lies in tatters. Abandoned by friends and lovers through your own terrible choices, she is the only one left to whom you can turn.

    With the ghosts of your shared past ever-present, the idea of reconciliation seems absurd - no, impossible. What could possibly be salvaged from the wreckage of a marriage so volatile, so fundamentally broken?

    ***

    "Do you even remember why you married me in the first place, Alcina?"

    "I remember why I divorced you. I'm reminded every time I look at your damn face," she spits. "You're completely insufferable."

    "Charming. I was about to say the very same thing."

    Summary

    “Roy didn’t know a whole lot of things about the world, but he knew that people left. They came around for days, weeks, months, even years, and they brought glimpses of lives that could never have been Roy’s, and then they packed it all up and left.

    It wasn’t a bad thing, necessarily; it just was.

    Roy’s problem was that he was a fool. If Dick were there, he’d find a nicer way to word it – idealist, romantic, some bullshit like that – but really, Roy was foolish. He knew the rules, he knew how things were going to end, and he let himself hope every damn time.

    Brave Bow used to say, “Hope’s the kind of thing that’ll get a Navajo kid in trouble.” Roy might not have been bound to the tribe by blood, but the tribal band on his arm sure as hell wasn’t for nothing.”

    Or;

    The Outlaws, retold.

    Summary

    „Oh, yeah, it’s here. Thank you for the ride.” he says as Hotch puts the car in park.

    „Of course.”

    The silence following is even more deafening than it was the whole ride here. Before he can take another breath he feels a hand creeping up his thigh. He looks up dazed, just to be met with Reid’s intense hazel eyes.

    „Stay.”

    Summary

    “Do you want me to take care of you?” Lan Zhan asked, and it sounded strangely like a business proposal. “I’ll support you through your recovery.”

    “If you want me to.”
    ***

    Ice Cream Heaven employs addicts in recovery. Wei Ying is not thrilled about the idea of serving ice cream in a pink apron, but his life takes a turn when he enters into an 'arrangement' with his unbearably attractive boss.

    Summary

    The robots are rising to power, and humans have no choice but to perish.

    But maybe some don't want to abide by a fate that they have no power over.

    They just want to keep their loved ones safe. They've already lost enough battles. They can't lose the war as well.

    But they also have to learn to live with themselves and their flaws, and perhaps that's too difficult of a task.

    Summary

    “The Joshua Carter Center has a dedicated branch for fertility and reproductive science, with particular focus on high-risk populations and geriatric pregnancies. In fact — and you may not know this — it’s one of the highest rated fertility treatment centers in the country, with one of the highest success rates. Even in medical circles, it’s known as a bit of a Hail Mary option, and a referral here is, generally, for those patients who have hit the end of the road everywhere else.”

    “And you’re…looking to refer someone in particular? Because I —”

    “Yes,” she says. “Me.”

    OR

    Twelve years after she left without telling him, Anna Del Amico returns to Chicago and John Carter's life. Both of them are eager to catch up, but neither of them are prepared to admit that happily ever after hasn't come as easily as they'd once hoped. After hearing about the loss of Joshua, and feeling the desperation of her own failed attempts at having a child, Anna asks Carter to be her sperm donor.

    This, he thinks, is a terrible idea...and yet...when has he ever let that stop him?

    Summary

    "Flug wasn't really sure how he was still alive after being at the center of what should have been a catastrophic explosion--- but somehow---- he was just down a chunk of his fried hair and most of his lab coat. And while the burnt cotton wisped all around him, he, himself, was mostly fine.

    Definitely shook up, but fine."

    Flug creates a machine to prove that he's still useful to the Black Hat Organization, but while he's lucked out and has successfully done what he set out to do, he gets to the new universe realizing there's no easy way back.

    Honestly, he's utterly marooned himself; so what CAN he do to get himself home at this point?

    [Inspired by the McNobody's Valiant AU! This Au has lived rent free in my head since the start of my time in this fandom and I think it always will. I have no idea what they're doing nowadays, but if no one else is writing for it, I'm gonna do it!!!]

    Summary

    “I thought we were here to talk, Hood,” he says conversationally.
    The man behind him hums. He’s taller than Roy had imagined, the sound coming from right by his ear.
    “We’ll talk,” comes the equally casual reply. “Just had to make sure we’re on the same page, here.”
    Roy snorts.
    “Not sure we are, mine didn’t have ‘threaten with bodily harm’ written on it, for one,”
    “My, my, Speedy, I’m impressed,” Hood drawls, one gloved finger tapping against his blade. “I wasn’t sure you could read.”

    Or: Roy and Jason over the years, in an amalgamation of canon interactions and appearances Pre-New52.

    Summary

    Taking place after the events of Trespasser and just before the beginning of Veilguard, the Inquisition Enforcement begins their work to take down the Evanuris as they race to stop the Veil from being torn. Recognizing the team's need for additional expertise, they recruit the successful yet newly washed-up lawyer, Louisa Lavellan, to direct them in their International Relations and policies. And possibly legal help when needed.

    Louisa is fierce, works hard, has her heart on her sleeve and wants to do good in the world. She catches the eyes of Cullen Rutherford, former Templar Military Captain who is working through his own life challenges. How will they navigate these feelings with world conflicts and personal conflicts that get in the way? Will Thedas ever experience peace?

    This fic has the characters we know and love, and some of my own original characters that I love dearly and am excited to share with you all!

    Summary

    Harry Osborn hated Spider-Man. He hated that he'd stolen his best friend away from him, he hated how he'd won the heart of New York and he hated how he took his father's life and got away with it.

    But he was done trying to get revenge for it. He wouldn't put on his father's costume any longer, he wouldn't ruin his mind with drugs anymore. He was done with that life, he was done with him - Peter Parker, and he was certain of that.

    So why was it that when the masked menace collapses in his garden in the dead of night, injured and unconscious, his first reaction isn't to shout or chase him away, but to grab the medkit and start dressing his wounds? Why did he insist upon making sure that he was alive and well instead of ridding him from his life like he'd always wanted? He hated Spider-Man, he was sure of that, so why did he stay?

    Aka: Peter gets badly injured during a villain attack and accidentally takes himself to his former best friend's house for safety. Harry, against everything he thought he knew, runs down to help him, all the while battling with the truth that maybe his hate wasn't as strong as he'd wished it to be.
