Summary
The first thing he noticed was that John, in the corner in front of his dresser and mirror was hunched in an odd way. He had too many angles and seemed to be spilling out of his sweater. It couldn’t be comfortable, the way John held his head, so that not even a hint of it could be seen. There was a soft hissing that filled the room, it seems to come from John’s direction but that made no sense, he didn’t have any alarms or text tones that sounded anything like it, Sherlock had memorized them all.

In a world where humans and Cryptids live (more or less) side by side, most patrons assume that the tall, pale, elaborately dressed bartender at Club L'Enfer is a vampire.
They're wrong, but Amélie makes great tips by playing to the tropes. Still, she'd love to know what's going on with the pink haired raver who picks up a different girl every weekend...

Summary
“What the fuck! You can talk!” Tommy shrieked, ripping himself out of Techno’s arms and scrambling away and whipping out his dagger to point it at the monsters in front of him. “Since when can monsters talk?”
“Why are we going over this again? We already went over this. Don’t you remember, Little Muffin?” Wilbur, who stood next to Techno, pouted.
Tommy’s brain glitched again. Last time?
“That was real!” Tommy shrieked again, unconsciously lowering the dagger. "I thought that was a dream!"
Wilbur just laughed at him. Rude. That was just rude. Tommy had his whole world flipped and this monster was just laughing at him.OR: Taking pictures of monsters for a living has its ups and downs, and Tommy isn't sure if this new development was an up or a down.

Summary
He was in the middle of digging out a practically large quartz from the earth when he heard a branch snap from across the small stream.
His head whipped up, looking into the dense woods ahead. Usually the boy would just assume it was an animal, but his gut said otherwise. Something whispered at the back of Tommys head, telling him to be alert.
He picked up his basket, moving back a few steps to the forest's edge. He always trusted his gut, having identified the difference between anxiety and intuition ages ago.
That's when he heard a long whistle cut through the air like a knife. It was a rythemless tune, as if beckoning him to whistle back.
Oh yeah, he needed to get the fuck out of here, like now.
Or.
Tommy’s an independent witch who lives deep in the woods, spending his days avoiding CPS and foraging for mushrooms.
Life is great, until he catches the eye of a creature dead set on eating him alive.

Summary
Jaskier’s favorite online video channel is "The Mountain Man of Rivia". Between the Mountain Man’s deep, velvet voice and his insistence on staying off camera while discussing cryptids, ghosts, and local folklore, Jaskier has been a fan since that first fumbling video. When he’s saved from a fall by Geralt, a forest ranger, and eventually discovers the ranger is the Mountain Man, he pitches Geralt an idea. Jaskier’s family owns the famous and infamous Merry Lane house, the second home of Orson and Starla Winters. Starla met a ghastly end nearly one hundred years ago and no one was ever tried, let alone convicted, of her murder. But with Geralt’s help - the Mountain Man’s help - he aims to put Starla’s memory to rest.
Even if that means breaking into the Merry Lane house.

Bookmarker's Notes
One hell of an AU, because I have genuinely never seen one quite like this, in this fandom or any other. Somehow, it's a slow burn and a love-at-first sight at the same time, which works out beautifully for my impatient ass. Geralt and Jaskier discover that oh shit ghosts are real, family isn't the people who made you, and sometimes kindness is what actually wins in the end.

Summary
Tommy used to be an average street kid: starved, hungry, and practically half dead. One day, however, he heard of a guild who practically took in street kids- fed them, clothed them, gave them a place to sleep- and the offer was too good to pass up. All he had to do was work at the guild!
Now, a couple years later, Tommy is one of the best assassins in the Essempi guild, but his mentor sends him on his hardest mission yet: "Kill the royal family of the Antarctic Empire on the night of their annual ball, October 31st." Tommy takes the missions as a challenge, but little does he know that this mission will be unlike any other he's completed before and will change his life forever.

Summary
"Don't you get it, sunshine?" Wilbur croons, arms tight around Tommy's torso, pulling him so close that Tommy can hardly tell where he ends and the monster begins. "Your soul is forever bound to this forest, just like ours. You're never going to be able to leave."
"No," Tommy gasps. "No, you're- you're lying, you're lying-"
"Aw, darling," Wilbur says, long fingers threading under Tommy's chin and forcing it up, so that Tommy has to look into the soulless black pits Wilbur calls eyes, "It's alright. You're mine now. That's not so bad, is it?"
---
When Tommy casts a summoning spell from an old spellbook, he doesn't expect to accidentally bind his soul to the forest around his hometown. He doesn't expect for the monsters in said forest to claim him as theirs. He certainly doesn't expect to die. But when has anything ever gone his way?

The moment Tommy sees them, he is terrified. Everyone, his handlers, the scientists, are at ease. But Tommy has keen eyes, a sharp sense of smell, otherworldly blood in his veins.
He is a patchwork of monsters to hunt monsters. Tommy knows better, and he is afraid.

Summary
The deck itself wasn’t anything special… just a decently large room with dark walls, filled with desks littered in computers and paperwork, the occasional cup of discarded coffee maybe. No, what was drawing Tommy’s attention was the glass wall to his left, the full length of the room.
Just beyond the glass was the holding cells, three identical rooms containing three of the most dangerous creatures in known history.
And it was Dream’s job to try and find out what exactly they were.

Bookmarker's Notes
After several confused blinks Yoongi folds his hands together in his lap, straightening his shoulders like he's forcing himself to sit still. “You really think we're just friends?”
“Of course we are! You're Jin-hyung's best friend. We've known each other for more than twenty years! If something was gonna happen, it would have happened by now!”
“What do you call last night?”
“I call it...” There's no right way to say it, but Jungkook really tries. “You doing your weird saving-people thing.”
Yoongi tilts his head, jaw harder-set than before. “I do not have a saving-people thing.”

Summary
"He's created a time loop," Ranboo admits. Philza goes silent, goes still, and both their eyes are fixed on the figure on top of the stage, at the body cradled in his arms. There's magic swirling around him, the kind of desperation that comes from willing to do anything but failing anyway. "He's killed everyone in the surrounding area for at least 200 kilometres. They were a pack of two- and his two is gone. He's alone." Ranboo forces his way forward, but the clocks are ticking backwards, and every step feels harder. "He's trying to save his friend."
Tommy buries his head into Tubbo's jacket and screams. Tubbo's life runs out, again, because Tommy's power isn't enough to send them back for more than fifteen minutes. It isn't enough to undo the sickness, isn't enough time at all. Ranboo thinks he knows and just doesn't care.
The clocks tick backwards and Ranboo is blown backwards, away from the stage. Golden eyes open, threads attach, and the clocks spiral to fifteen minutes before this all happened.
---
SBI are cryptids and Ranboo's a Hunter sent to kill them. A baby one finally Awakens, and it sets in motion things that Ranboo couldn't have stopped even if he wanted to.

I Asked for a Monster and You Gave Me a Fairytale by Anonymous
Fandoms: Minecraft (Video Game), Dream SMP
18 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Tommy had suffered on and off throughout his life from hanahaki, which sort of happens to someone who trusts too much and always gets their hopes crushed. He just wants someone to actually care about him, but he knows he's not going to get that, especially not with Dream and not with how the disease has been getting worse.
Dying and defeated, Tommy's only solace comes in the form of weird eldritch singing emanating from the forest outside his window. He knows that whatever it is will likely be a cannibalistic cryptid from his worst nightmares, but somehow he can't find it in himself to care. Any death will be better than suffocating alone.
Or
Tommy is on a quest to get killed by unknown monsters instead of the ones he does know. This is somehow more difficult than it should be.

I live next door to a haunted bookshop owned by an immortal cryptid bastard. AMA! by kyaticlikestea
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV)
11 Jun 2020
Tags
Summary
Or, a cryptid bastard man haunts Reddit, trying to find out how to ask out his crush of the past 6,000 years and getting downvoted to literal oblivion. Just normal stuff on the world wide web.Before anyone reports this post, I got this AMA authorised by posting proof to a mod, so there.
Hi, Reddit! I’m no-one special, but about 6 months ago, I moved into a flat above a cafe next door to a bookshop, and my life has never been the same since, because the man who runs the bookshop is some sort of ageless (mostly) benevolent eldritch being. By all accounts, he hasn’t aged a day since at least 1944, sometimes he seems to have just too many eyes, and I once saw him turn water into wine (a nice rosé). His coworker / best friend / boyfriend / shadow entity is also definitely some kind of cryptid, but despite trying harder to be a bastard, he’s somehow less successful at it.
So, if you have any questions about what it’s like to live next door to an eternal bastard man, AMA!

That Odd London Bookshop by WritesEveryBlueMoon
Fandom: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
13 Mar 2021
Summary
A.Z. Fell and Co. Antiquarian Bookshop has been the ultimate paradox for book lovers for over 200 years: It has almost every book imaginable, but an owner who refuses to sell any of them. At least there is fun to be had and friends to be made in the ambitious, if rarely successful, endeavours of the customers.
