The Disconcerting Case Of Dwellers Hollow by Black_Lotus

Summary
"You did this! You killed and buried all those people and I am going to prove it. I am going to tear down everything you've built, I'm going to leave your children fatherless and that slut wife of yours working on street corners. And do you know why I'm going to take everything from you? Not because it's my job to uphold the law, not because you're a killer, but because you think you can win anything. This is one game you can't win. I am going to destroy you, Petyr Baelish."
Petyr leaned forwards in his leather chair, a smirk on his lips. "Well, don't make too much noise about it."
Or; Petyr's former dump site has been discovered and now he's fending off a rabid Detective while trying to keep his family and his company running. An already difficult task is made almost impossible by Lysa Arryn and her unwavering belief that they'll sail off into the sunset together. No, Petyr was staying with his wife and children, he was going to end Detective Heyerdahl, take Lysa's company out from under her and make sure no one could ever link him to Cersei Lannister's death ... or Joffrey's, or Tywin's, or Ramsay's or that cop's. Okay, so no one could connect him to ANY deaths ... or that mutilation thing.

Summary
It was a crater, and a woman with long purple hair stood in the middle. She didn't know who she was. She couldn't remember where she came from, or how she got there. The police didn't know what to make of her, and when they tried to arrest her she flew off with breathtaking speed, leaving only a kiss. All Daniel Evans knew was that the world would never be the same again.
This is only loosely based on Date A Live. How might such an event play out in our world?

Summary
As an orphan, Rey has a love-hate relationship with the cult-favourite children's book series called 'Being Ben'. Perfect little Ben had everything that Rey didn't, and it's hard not to resent him for that while still dreaming of having the kind of life he has as a kid.
When a new book gets published in her adult years, an unlikely encounter with the real Ben makes her realise that what the golden boy of her favourite books actually needed was love and empathy, not envy.
--- this is an impulse burst of writing creativity for the fanfic artists who drew countless little ben sketches and this is my love letter to y’all, name yourselves.

Summary
Gimli Durinson is a professor of Architectural Engineering at Columbia University going on 5 years. Legolas Lasgalen is a model, reluctant activist, and influencer working alongside his father. They have just about nothing in common, save for their friend Aragorn Elessar. When he comes to them asking for help with a bold push to save the environment of New York City, and make a push against DuMonte Enterprises, who seek to purchase and build over a quarter of Central Park, and worse, they must learn to work together and see past the others issues, which shouldn’t be too hard, considering the height difference.
A very contrived take on the Professor!Gimli and Influencer!Legolas AU, in which they’re still somewhat reluctantly trying to save the planet because Aragorn asked them to.
One of those fics, featuring the entire 6 movie cast in one way or another.

Summary
The non-magical daughter of Witches, Katelyn 'Pidge' Holt is having a really crappy birthday, given that her crush is marrying a truly horrible person and she never had the guts to tell him how she felt. Emboldened, Pidge decides to gatecrash the wedding and profess her love. Only problem? She doesn't know where the wedding's being held. So when an unexpected prophecy comes from her friend Hunk, she follows it to the tee...
And ends up crashing a funeral.
And raising the guest of honor from the dead.
Takashi 'Shiro' Shirogane doesn't know it, but he's having a bad day, too. Because what he doesn't know is that he's dead. And that he has been dead for the last five days. Or, at least, he was dead until he woke up in a coffin. He doesn't know how he got there, or how he lost his arm, or who the strange girl standing in the aisle of the church is.
But he does know one thing: whatever happened that made him sit up in his coffin was because of her.
Both of their worlds suddenly upended and discovering that their connection wasn't just coincidence but fate, Pidge and Shiro find themselves at the very center of a battle of good versus evil, that could decide the fate of the entire world.
