Summary
(Ouroboros AU, where Zelda survived the Great Calamity)
The last Zelda saw of Rook was him falling into darkness, vanishing within the golden light of the strange stone he picked up. Next thing, Zelda was waking up on an island above the Cloud Barrier with a decayed Master Sword, an unknown voice guiding her and separated from Rook, she learns, by fifty thousand years.
Zelda has to navigate the challenges that come with being the Hero as she embarks on a journey across Hyrule, trying to figure out Rook’s contingencies as she seeks out the new Sages to confront the malevolent forces of a resurrected Demise.
Meanwhile, stuck in the distant past, Rook finds himself eventually embroiled in the very war the murals beneath the castle had depicted.

Summary
[‘bury a friend’ AU set in Season 3B]
Kidnapped and experimented on by the organisation known as WICKED, Thomas has never lived a normal life. But after finally escaping, he’s shipped home before getting a glimpse of his pack.
In Beacon Hills, he tries to keep his head down, hoping that one day he’ll reunite with his pack. But the supernatural has a way of finding him anyway.
Now, a new danger draws near: Japanese myth bleeds into town as two types of Kitsune arrive, locked in a bitter feud. When one of them—the Nogitsune—chooses Thomas as its host, he is dragged into it by force.
Upside? Newt and Minho arrive in Beacon Hills just as everything kicks off.But as more revelations about the feud come to light, Thomas has to confront the deeper truth of why the Nogitsune took such a liking to him in the first place.

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
[Sequel to 'bury a friend']
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
Thomas has been buzzing all day—bright-eyed, restless, all kinetic energy and sideways grins that came out of nowhere and lingered too long. And Newt loved him, God did love Thomas, but there was only so much joyful chaos one man could endure before it started to fray his nerves.
Newt finds a solution for that.

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.

Summary
The day after Allison’s funeral, Stiles Stilinski vanishes, leaving behind no trace, no scent—nothing—for the McCall pack to follow.
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.

Summary
Hylia had him. She had him.
For a moment, she feared she wouldn’t catch him, but then her fingers wrapped around his wrist.
As the rocks rumbled and tumbled down around them, Demise’s sickening laughter echoing, her right wrist was grabbed by the glowing hand, the suddenness jolts her, jolts Rook and then he’s screaming, and there’s blood, and he’s falling, again, and the prosthetic was still held tightly in her hand—and then gold, gold, gold and he’s gone.
“Rook!” she wailed.
*
In which Hylia must find Hyrule’s missing Champion and unravel the hows and whys of the Demise’s return, all while trying to rectify the regional phenomena plaguing Hyrule.
But Rook may be closer and further away than she had ever anticipated.
