    Summary

    Sam’s recently been laid off from his job, forcing him into a tough situation where the uncertainty of meeting the next rent payment was constantly breathing down his neck. He tried to plead a case to the landlord, but he’s had enough of his excuses. All in all he was a bit down on his luck, and unbeknownst to him it was about to turn a lot worse as an apocalypse of unprecedented proportions looms just around the corner.

    But being down on your luck is when friends come in to make up for it. He’s fortunate enough to have an old friend named Vinn moving in to help out with the bills, someone he’s seen little of since high school. Not that they get to catch up much before touching grass becomes a death sentence.

    Turns out Vinn can also be a sort of impromptu companion once looking outside starts to mutate people. Even if he too.. changes a little bit because of it. They say the beauty’s in the eye of the beholder, but Vinn’s got several now so he is a bit confused.

    Summary

    “Hollander.” He practically pleaded.

    Not once, but twice.

    Oh.

    Oh.

    It wasn’t casual for Ilya.

    And maybe.

    Just maybe.

    It was as real for him, as it was for Shane.

    ***

    Basically: Shane and Ilya suck at communicating their feelings.
    Ilya suffers for it.

    Summary

    "the only place Ragatha isn't relentlessly cheerful and Jax isn't relentlessly cruel."

     

    She keeps replaying the moments in her head, trying to pinpoint the fracture. Was it the way he looked at Kaufmo’s door too long? The way his jokes got sharper, less funny? Or maybe it was the first night he cried and thought she hadn’t noticed.

    Ragatha sifts through memories of Jax like broken glass, looking for the one shard that cut deepest, the one place everything started to slip. If she can trace it back, maybe she can understand.

    Maybe she can still save him.

    Summary

    — Oh, you gotta be- — The first person to protest was Zooble, who turned around with an annoyed expression on their face, — Wish you luck, guys. I pass. — They waved goodbye before turning around with obvious plans.

    But then snap! Another 180° turnaround and a drag to the air. Zooble was brought to Caine by Caine, with his teeth expressing a squint that speaks volumes of his unfathomable disappointment with his dear mismatched piano. Arms crossed, Caine moves his finger up and down so a wide-eyed Zooble could stand on the floor while he flies close to their head.

    — I put effort, sweat and Bubble's tears for this campaign to include everyone's likes. —

    ◈ ━━━━━━━ ⸙ ━━━━━━━ ◈

    Things between Pomni and Jax become difficult. Unconveniently for them, what they're going to experience isn't just an adventure from Caine.

    Plus, Caine cooked after the gun game was a success. He promises the longest “campaign” to be his magnum opus so far, so be prepared!

    TLDR: In this AU the cast is sent to Tarkov and they end up playing Arena Breakout. It takes place after the events of Episode 6.

    Summary

    Todoroki's under a whole ton of stress between his father's expectations and everyone else's. Everyone seems to have an idea of how he should act except him. In his own head he's simply a tool, a well sharpened weapon for his father to wield. He's not used to people. Not used to the whispers and rumors and bullying. Not to mention Aizawas's check ins.

    Or

    Todoroki's stressed, kids are jerks, Endeavor's an abusive dick and Aizawa knows something's up, and he will get to the bottom of it.

    Summary

    “I haven’t really been to a wedding where I’ve, uh… let loose. But, hey,” Dennis shrugged, “maybe I’m doing it wrong.”

    “If I hadn’t already agreed to go to this conference, I’d offer to go with you,” Robby said casually. “Show you how it’s done. I’ve got a good track record as a plus-one, too.” Dennis had to say something. To interrupt. To shut this down. But what was he supposed to say? No, you can’t be my plus one, because I lied about my cousin, and there is no wedding, and it seems a little weird to bring a date to a fucking funeral– “Apparently parents love it when you bring home a doctor.”

    And just like that, the bubble popped.

    “I’m not gay,” Dennis snapped.

    He had never hated the sound of his own voice as much as he did right then.

    ---
    Or, Dennis is anxiously headed home for a "wedding" in Broken Bow, Nebraska, the details of which are increasingly fuzzy. Robby's got a medical conference in Omaha that same weekend. So they carpool. Seventeen hours both ways in an enclosed space with no way out except a tuck and roll. This'll go great.

Desperate to not only get his fraid to safety but to stop the GIW from destroying the Infinite Realms and in turn all of the other universes, Danny (with the help of Clockwork) used a portal to get his fraid out of Amity Park for help.

    Summary

    Vash jerked away from his brother's touch. Something about the way he kept touching him was creeping him out. He’d never tried to do that before. And why were they alone in this room anyway? Too many questions assaulted his already sluggish brain. He needed to sit down, to clear his head. He was sure he'd feel fine soon. Whatever sedative Knives had injected in him couldn't last that long. He’d just wait it out then escape. Yeah, that had to be true, he lied to himself.

They must emerge victorious in a race against the clock against increasing wartime tensions and our protagonist's progressive, fatal sickness, or they may never figure out who he really was.
    But would knowing really do them any better than being ignorant in bliss?

    Summary

    “Ena! Teach me how to paint!”

    "Huh?!"

    It was such a simple, innocent request. Neither of them could have anticipated the chain of events that would follow. The devastation that a single painting could wreak.

    But when Mizuki produces her first proper piece, everything falls apart. Inner demons that Ena had long thought conquered reawaken with a vengeance, while Mizuki finds herself faced with a shadow of her past, long buried, repressed and forgotten, a terrible, faceless trauma that threatens to consume her whole.

    Will the two of them find their way out of the dark and back to each other? Or will what is unleashed tear them and their burgeoning relationship apart? Either way, everything is going to change.

    Summary

    Mike has finally made it as an author. But writing about your own past can get complicated, especially when fans start to draw conclusions that point Mike in the direction of the person he's been writing about all along.

    And living life is hard. Especially when you're doing it all on your own. But grief and love are a lot more similar than you might realise. They both tend to wake us up from the monotony of our lives.

    OR: Mike has a horrible time, which somewhere along the way turns into a wonderful time.

    Summary

    Everyone is nice at your new accounting job, and it’s a pretty calming workplace. However, there is one person there who sticks out like a sore thumb. Kento Nanami. A very polished, well-kept, and attractive man. A little too good to be true–or so you thought. After weeks of office romance, he finally takes you out for drinks. He takes you back to his place afterwards to continue the fun. As you took a sip of the drink he gave you, your vision began to blur. It was too late for you to run. As you regain consciousness, you realize the Kento you had been talking to was just a fake. Never was interested. Never cared about what you talked about. Only wanted to lure you right where he wanted. (This fic was already written and published on Tumblr @omgitzmami)

    Summary

    The glances his friends share are not subtle, at all.

    “What?” Mike snaps.

    “It’s just… you never talk about her,” Lucas says.

    Mike’s grip on his beer tightens and he doesn’t say anything. Drinking so much was a mistake. His head is starting to spin in a mix of frustration, guilt, anger-

    “It’s been years Mike,” Lucas is saying, gentle like he is when he’s trying to get through to someone, “how are you going to move on if you can’t even talk about, you know, the good memories?”

    The good memories are all tinted red and feel like impending doom, except they already happened, they’re not impending, they’re just always doomed now.

    “Maybe I won’t,” Mike mutters, words slurring.

    ~~~~~

    Post canon au with a little twist. Karen and Ted Wheeler don't survive the demogorgon attack in season 5. When all of his friends leave for college, Mike stays in Hawkins to take care of Holly so Nancy can finally go to college. Mike is left with a house to take care of, a sister to raise, and a whole lot of repressed guilt and grief.
