Summary
Alternate take on the post-fishing scene/CH20, where Rocky saves Grace and Grace returns the favour by exposing himself to superheated ammonia.
Blazing hot ammonia flooded the airlock and dormitory. I slammed the airlock door behind me and spun the lock. Hissing erupted on the other side, loud and violent, but I couldn’t see anything anymore. Can’t even breathe.
The ammonia had hit me straight on. No cover. No shielding. Certainly no glasses on my face to protect my eyes even a little. Just superheated ammonia directly to the face like the universe personally decided I’d gone too long since I’d last suffered five minutes ago.
I’m screaming, I thought. Or maybe gurgling. Hard to tell when my throat felt like it’s being flayed open from the inside. I hit the floor hard, writhing as fire tore through my lungs and airways. Every breath felt like inhaling knives.

Summary
[‘bury a friend’ AU set in Season 3B]
Thomas has never had a normal life. Kidnapped, experimented on, and turned into a werefox, he escaped WICKED with his pack—only to be torn away from them just as freedom was finally within reach. Now in Beacon Hills, Thomas is trying to keep his head down and pass for ordinary. But in a town crawling with the supernatural, that was never going to last.
But when Newt and Minho unexpectedly arrive in Beacon Hills with Minho’s family, something else arrives too: a pair of feuding Kitsune. Of which Thomas is caught in the crossfire of—and becomes something far worse than a bystander when the darker spirit, the Nogitsune, chooses him as its host. It doesn’t leave. It doesn’t destroy him. It, dare he say, likes him.
And as Thomas begins to change in ways he doesn’t understand, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the Kitsune the Nogitsune is hunting for revenge… is Minho’s mother, and the reason might just be justified.
Now, caught between a spirit that won’t let him go and a feud he never asked to be part of, Thomas is running out of time to understand what’s happening to him before Noshiko might get the chance to kill him for harbouring the Nogitsune.

Summary
The last thing Zelda saw was Rook falling—swallowed by the golden light of the mysterious stone.
She awakens above the Cloud Barrier with a decayed Master Sword and an unknown voice guiding her. Rook is gone, and worse still, she soon learns they have been separated by fifty thousand years.
Navigating the challenges that come with being the Hero, Zelda must traverse a changed Hyrule as she embarks on a journey to uncover the contingencies Rook left behind. As she seeks out the new Sages, she must prepare to face the growing threat of a resurrected Demise and the malevolent forces gathering in his wake.
But while Zelda fights for the present, Rook is trapped in the past—drawn into the very war etched into the ancient murals beneath Hyrule Castle.
Then, add in the arrival of the Chain, who are wholly unprepared for the world they have stepped into.

Thomas’s senior year resolution: no monsters, no mayhem, please and thank you.
Beacon Hills answers with Theo Reaken.
Theo—childhood friend, probable liar, walking red flag—returns asking to join Scott's pack. Thomas calls BS. While Thomas's own pack unequivocally trusts his instincts, Scott’s too-trusting nature threatens to drive a wedge between him and Scott.
Meanwhile, Void starts teaching Thomas what he actually is. Spoiler: it is definitely not normal.

Summary
[A scraped version post-Donovan's death from Absolute Territory that I'm posting here as a separate AU smut fic.]
Thomas kills Donovan, and he and Newt offer the body to the Nemeton. Of course, Thomas is all worked up from the battle, and Newt has no issue whatsoever in helping to remedy that.
Or: Newt and Thomas get freaky on the Nemeton after they offer Donovan's body to it.
[CH2 is a revision of CH1! One that, in my personal opinion, is much better than Vers 1.]

Summary
[Prequel to ‘bury a friend’]
Before Stiles became Thomas, he was possessed. This is the reason that led to his kidnapping by WICKED.
It was not a kind possession. But he was chosen for a reason.
[Nogitsune value loyalty; and this one’s ideals hinged on two absolutes—it keeps its word, and it expects you to keep yours. Noshiko broke the second. Everything that follows is her own fault.]
OR:
Two types of Kitsune have beef with one another and Stiles is the unfortunate chew toy in the middle.

Just over a year later, he returns home—different, changed, haunted. But most importantly, Stiles isn’t Stiles anymore. He’s Thomas now: a member of the Glader’s pack and a werefox—a peculiar one at that.

Summary
Jayce returns from the alternate timeline, feral and broken, with a mission to stop Viktor, but that plan derails as his instincts overwhelm his fractured mind.
Without hesitation, Viktor cares for Jayce, who has returned to him after months of being missing, a shadow of who he once was.
An Alpha was there waiting outside. Viktor, something distant stirred. It was Viktor waiting outside of the odd building.
Jayce freezes. His entire body coils. His Omegan instincts flare—predator, enemy, threat. But the girl doesn’t react. Instead, she moves between them, also taking the Alpha’s hand in hers, and lets out a soft, familiar sound: a chuff.
Jayce’s muscles twitch. That sound means safe. He knows it.
It halts him in his tracks, confusion swelling. Viktor was the bad guy—he was why Jayce was here, Jayce was here to stop Viktor as the mage had asked. He couldn’t be…safe.
Viktor steps forward, slow and careful, like approaching a wounded animal.
“Jayce,” he says, voice low and even. A small smile curls his lips. “You’re here.”

Summary
Frisk dove headfirst into the Underground after spending all her childhood listening to her Mama tell her and her brother stories of the Monsters trapped below.
What she didn’t expect once she had freed them was not only did Sans have some SOULbond with her mother (ew, that’s her Mama, Sans!) but when Sans accidently brings different versions of him and Papyrus…
Frisk did not sign up for this! All she wanted was to free the Monsters from her Mama’s stories!
While you had certainly seen a lot during your years, suddenly meeting your SOULmate (whom you had believed to have outlived) was like a dream come true. Monsters were getting their rights and freedom, and your relationship with Sans was steadily growing.
...Now throw in four alternate versions of your SOULmate and you're in for a bit of a ride.
Especially when some unwanted familiar faces reappear.
