Summary
You, one of the merfolk, live in a society where your success in life depends heavily on song. Unfortunately for you, you cannot sing. In a year of poor hunting, your pod finally finds a use for you: a sacrifice to the leviathans who live in the deep trenches. You believe death is all that awaits you in the depths, but a past act of kindness means you may not be as doomed as you think.

I got here from the Eldritch tag. I didn't even know this fandom existed. I don't normally like reader MCs. I read the whole damn thing and it was SOOOOOO good, like so damn good. I'll definitely be reading this again! Absolutely sweet!

Summary
Robert has always known he was different - that there was something fundamentally wrong with him. He often felt like there was too much of him stuffed into the confines of his meat and bones - like some weird fleshy prison. He would stare at his hand sometimes and see T̶̟̅͑Ḫ̵͖̋̎Ì̸̼N̴̪̈́Ǧ̵͚̕S̶͎͐ moving underneath. He swore he could taste what people around him were feeling more than he could observe with his eyes.
Maybe that's why his father never loved him. Maybe that's why Uncle Elliot went mad. Maybe that's why he became addicted to the taste of a certain pyrokinetic villain. Maybe that's why, after the explosion, he stopped trying to pretend to be human - he's not.
He's Mecha Man Eldritch.

This is absolutely epic, Eldritch abomination is my guilty pleasure and this was so on character it was perfect. The ending was just icing on it ♥️

Summary
“Gotta be honest, J, this wasn’t really what I had in mind.”
“You gave me full discretion, sir. My design meets all specifications for an initial trial of our artificial nervous system.”
“Yeah, I just didn’t think you’d go pint-sized Lovecraftian horror with it. We have schematics for human features, y’know.”
…
Five times Tony is the only one to welcome JARVIS’ unsettling attempts at building monster bodies for himself, and one time everyone else finally gets it.

I don't even know what I read but I am living for it. Jarvis is the best Dr Frankenstein we never knew we needed

Summary
"Thank you," VEGA tells the Doom Marine, and he means it. Doctor Hayden had backups, but - they would be missing data points. Memories. They were VEGA, but they were a different VEGA. It would be... Unfortunate, to lose all the data points he had assembled.
---
The Doom Slayer, the backup of VEGA, and a lot of wandering around trying to figure out where the Hell they've ended up.

Omega verse I enjoyed greatly. These two are feral for feral and absolutely smitten Marvolo is perfect.
