Summary
Leugey finds a (mostly)human baby.
Mammals have a tendency to adopt orphans, right? Repton saw more than enough documentaries to know he can definitely convince at least one of the cyclonian commanders that the baby is theirs.
How hard could it be?

Summary
Zuko never chose exile. He never chose to be offered up as a living apology for a century of Fire Nation war. In the Southern Water Tribe, he is tolerated, tested, and hated in equal measure—an outsider meant to endure whatever anger the people still carry.
But survival in the ice does not allow distance. The hunts, the hunger, the grief—they bind him to those he was taught to despise. Especially her.

Summary
“I get that you're difficult by nature,” Akuna says, sliding down the wall to sit on the floor of Cal's cell next to him like they're not interrogator and prisoner, but just casual acquaintances hanging out. He cracks open his own bottle of water and takes a sip, then continues, “or Lank wouldn't be losing more of his hair trying to break you. But when I tell you to drink, you gotta drink, Kestis.”
Cal snorts. “What,” he croaks, “I have to get better so you can be the one to break me instead?”
Akuna pauses for a moment, then shrugs and nods. “Pretty much.”
-
Cal’s been stuck in ISB custody for a while now and he refuses to give them any information on Cere's location. Agent Akuna’s been tasked with fixing that.

Summary
Imagine that you are a university occultist obsessed with the supernatural, so much so that your career is based on it.
Imagine that you see and hear things that others don't, now imagine that on any given Tuesday a ghost appears in your microwave.
Strange? No, he's actually a handsome god who got lost between dimensional planes.
So now Tiresias has all these problems and oh my god is that a little imaginary relative?
Yes, I'm the guy who wrote second-hand prophecies, I connected neurons and deleted that story, one day I'll come back.
But hey, I learned how to use Google Translate!

Summary
Periwinkle Took isn't sure she could get much stupider.
She also isn't really sure how she genuinely thought that she was a Hobbit for all of her (uneventful) life.
To top it all off, she really doesn't understand how she's ended up running for her life with her little brother and his motley band of equally foolish friends.

Summary
I have no idea what you expect me to put here when this is literally one of my longest shitposts. Read if you want (or don't), I don't care tbh.
Ahem, welcome to Mountain Dew Valley! Here three Clans inhabit the contaminated area of a human waste dump.
PepsiClan, the fast and strong swimmers with a swift knack for collecting dumb, shiny objects.
CheetosClan, one of the most brutal and self-centered Clans that pride themselves on only having orange-coloured pelts.
And finally, CokeClan - they once formed a great rivallry against PepsiClan but have since fallen off since losing half their clan to an unknown substance that snows from the mountains. Maybe one day we'll see them again? Who knows...
These Clans all hailed from one, original awesome Clan; OreoClan. However, after Canarystar's death, things haven't been the same. Now the remains of OreoClan have split off to join the others or gone into hiding to stash their oreos away from prying eyes.Only six, completely unoriginal cats can help restore peace to the valley by finding out the not really life-threatening mysteries surrounding their beloved Clans.

Summary
Out of the pan and into the fire; that was a feeling the four of them knew too well, but going from disaster to disaster was bound to end in blood, right? Chard and scorched, born into the chill of an uncaring winter, craving the life brought forth from the last desperate drops of water in a canteen.

After a while, McCoy blurted, “Haven’t you ever wondered why I’m one of the only doctors in the Empire who knows Vulcan anatomy?”
Spock stiffened, breath hitching. “I am already well aware of the reason, Doctor.”
“Then how can you even stand to be in the same room with me?” McCoy closed his eye against the blue glow and swallowed, voice dropping lower. “Much less let me live?”
Spock was silent for so long, McCoy began to think he wouldn’t answer at all.

Summary
“No!” The girl screams, startling him. “The real fucking question is how the hell are you real, right here in front of me?”
His eyebrows furrow as he looks at the girl. “What?”
“Am—am I in Yokohama right now?” She asks, and against himself, Chuuya nods. “Holy fuck…” Her breathing starts to get heavier as she clutches her head. “There’s no way, this is insane.”
Chuuya’s eyes narrow. The best bet would be to kill her. But the girl doesn’t seem to be older than 17, and he’s not too keen on killing kids. His other option would be to report to the boss and let him take care of it. But, he looks at the girl whose breathing continues to escalate, and she seems…confused.
But how the hell did she know his name? Hell, how did she recognize him from his face?
Or: Ersat, a normal girl who’d just picked up the anime—Bungou Stray Dogs—unexpectedly gets transported into the BSD universe. And somehow, she ends up getting adopted by her favorite character!

“Do you think we'll ever get through to her?”
“Everyone meets their breaking point eventually.” At Zoey's worried frown, Mira’s expression softened. She leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Don't worry, we'll be there to catch her when she falls.”

Mira's attempt at a spiel about love and friendship and unbreakable bonds turned to ash on her tongue.
“Rumi. Rumi, no.”
Rumi inched closer to the rail.
“Rumi, please don’t.”
Zoey’s foot moved.
Rumi leapt.

Summary
What would happen if someone else took Subaru's place in the story? What would his path, his decisions, and his relationship with the characters be like? Would he have more power or intelligence than Subaru? Would he choose the same route, take an alternative path, or do exactly the same thing? Could he endure the HELL of being an RBD user without breaking his mind?
At twenty-one years old, Leandro is summoned into the world of Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu. He knows the story because he watched the anime (and is in a Facebook group where novel spoilers are posted), but he doesn't know as much as he should.
To add to his problems, his physical condition is poor—not terrible, but poor. He's chubby, and the little he knows about self-defense is what he learned from a boxing class he took as a teenager (he was the most one-handed in the group).
He doesn't excel at anything, nor does he have any useful qualities, unless overthinking and speaking in synonyms no one uses fall into that category.
Author's Note: This story does not belong to me and is based and inspired by the original novel by Tappei Nagatsuki and the adaptation by White Fox, corresponding credits to them.

Summary
¿Qué pasaría si alguien más toma el lugar de Subaru en la historia? ¿Cómo sería su camino, sus decisiones y su relación con los personajes? ¿Tendría más poder o inteligencia que Subaru? ¿Escogería la misma ruta, tomaría un camino alternativo o haría exactamente lo mismo? ¿Podría soportar el INFIERNO de ser un usuario del RBD sin romperse mentalmente?
A sus veintiún años, Leandro es invocado en el mundo de Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu. Él conoce la historia porque vió el anime (y está en un grupo de Facebook donde suben spoilers de la novela) pero no sabe tanto como debería.
Para más problemas, su estado físico es malo, no es pésimo pero es malo. Está rellenito y lo poco que sabe de defensa personal es lo que aprendió de un curso de boxeo que tomó cuando era adolescente (fue el más manco del grupo).
No se destaca en nada ni tiene cualidades útiles, a menos que sobrepensar y hablar con sinónimos que nadie usa entre en esa categoría.
Nota del Autor: Esta historia no me pertenece y está basada e inspirada en la novela original de Tappei Nagatsuki y la adaptación de White Fox, créditos correspondientes para ellos.
