    Summary

    Once she realized that the pulsing under her skin wasn’t normal, or that she could make things with that energy, the blue of it bouncing off the walls of her bedroom, she decided that she could do something about the monsters no one else could see. But did she even want to?

    A retelling of 2005 and all the years after.

    Of finding a place, and overcoming the insurmountable.

    Summary

    In a world where superheroes saved the day and supervillains were always on the loose somewhere, Quentin Fluke always felt like he was the odd man out. By all accounts, he's a hero - well, a hero's sidekick. A sidekick who has saved a lot of people, even if he's avoided almost all of the fame. Are you really a hero, though, when one of the gifts you've been given can only do very, very bad things?

    Q is forced to find an answer to that question when his life is suddenly turned upside-down by a villain who wants entirely too much to do with him.

    This may never update again but I rotate this fic in my head at least once a month. I have ever since coming home from watching John Wick at a friend’s house and finding this fic. It’s been years.

    I crave this fic’s existence and continuation and honestly am just grateful it exists to grace my eyeballs. I thought I already had it bookmarked.

    Summary

    This is the in depth explanation of the correct, best in show A/B/O that I rolled out in my fic 'Wont you lay your hands on me.' (In my totally unbiased opinion obviously, lmao.) It's a system of A/B/O that addresses, fixes and streamlines conceptual sticking points that often get glossed over and ignored in the traditional versions. As well as fixing much of what outright makes no sense in standard A/B/O. Such as: the role of betas, the physiological anatomy of female alphas/male omegas, bonding/mating bites, ect ect.

    [I'm updating the story as readers ask for more clarifications, and as of 9/25/24 the most recent updates to this A/B/O Grimoire include: a bit more on gender vs sex in the a/b/o universe, trans and gay rights as they pertain to a/b/o. ]

    The golden abo standard that all other abo fics and headcanons will be measured against.

    The amount of delighted shrieking I did while reading this (and the rest of the fics in this series) was very, VERY high.

    I may or may not be going back to old abo drawerfic of mine and rewriting with this in mind.

    Summary

    inspired by a writing-prompt-s.tumblr.com's prompt

    It’s been a week, but you’re fairly certain your fiancé accidentally got himself replaced by an eldritch being from the Depths. Deciding that he’s certainly not worse than your original fiancé, you endeavor to keep the engagement and his new non-human state to yourself.

    However, this might prove harder than you originally thought.

    Summary

    After the explosion at Nasty Burger, Danny abandons his home dimension in his grief, with Vlad's help. They work together to ensure that the ghosts of the Infinite Realms have no access to that dimension, and thus protect them from the danger the GIW poses.

    However, this does not abate Danny's grief, nor his fears. What if he loses himself in his grief and anger and loss, and it twists him and turns him into another Pariah Dark? What if he ends up hurting the Infinite Realms?

    So, he leaves.

    Summary

    So it's after the Epic Fantasy War Against An Evil Lord has ended and been won, and all the exciting stuff has died down. And as people are coming home and rebuilding, one human woman finds herself in the position of having to marry one of the defectors from the Evil Overlord's army, and live with him in his castle full of monsters.

    This is fine, probably. It can't hurt, at least. It won't be too strange, maybe.

    Everybody will just have to make adjustments.

    Summary

    Uhhh... Time travel. Miscommunication. Idiots in love. Uraume is the number one bestie. No one likes Yuji's Mom.
    Yeah, I think that encapsulates the series rather nicely.

    Marked as complete, but that does not mean I'm unwilling to add more in the future via requested one-shots.
    The first three fics present themselves as a complete narrative as they are now.

    EDIT:
    Bonus pieces will be labeled as such.
    Bonus pieces have been placed in chronological order.

    Anything can be achieved, provided the conditions are met. Harry James Potter’s ambitions might appear impossible, but, then again, so is his life.

    Or

    Harry James Potter didn't know what having children meant, who could have them and why they might wish to do so. Harry James Potter just wanted one. Desperately.

    Summary

    "Something went wrong when transferring Hotaru's neural impulses into the newest iMind.

    Mind mapping technology had advanced by leaps and bounds and, yielding to her grandkids' pleas, sixty-four year old Kita Hotaru had finally signed the documents and set a date for the procedure.
    On the morning of the 2nd of June, in a small hospital bed, the anesthetic lulled mrs Kita to sleep. The wakeup was far more painful and sudden, a tiny body dropping in the middle of a dirt road."

    Reality isn't a creation of the mind. And yet here she is, sixty-four going on ten, forever young in a world where the young are the first to die.

    Summary

    Soap gets stuck in a time loop during the Alone Mission and dies a whole bunch trying to get it right. He doesn't quite know how to handle it, especially when Ghost starts dying first and Soap begins restarting the loops without question- anything to have a chance of them both making it out intact at the end.

    Then Ghost has his turn in the loops.
