Summary
A single father just trying to get by, Felix worked as a crime analyst in a developing city. The deep south, just a bit under the blue ridge mountains, was where he chose to rebuild his life from scratch. For the most part, he had been successful. He had his own house, his daughter was happy, they were healthy…something was missing, but he had to keep his daughter afloat with his love strong enough for two. Things were stagnant, but grief couldn’t be statistically analyzed like his work.
Felix was just beginning his CSI certifications when he meets a strange man in a coffee shop, gets assigned to an odd collection of gruesome homicide cases, and…wait…
Why do all the victims look like him?
Felix discovers things that terrify him, but also learns that life has so much more to offer when you can trust someone. He had always wondered…Would it feel like summer there, when the everlasting winter air was no longer filled with ghosts?
A new monster was rearing its ugly head beyond the shadows of his past. Would he be strong enough to protect his daughter, solve the case, and make it out unscathed?
The hellfire waited in those shadows, and he could feel it lapping at his heels. -

Summary
Ashley is a teenage girl living in suburban Texas who finds a strange journal in her closet, allowing her to access a mysterious parallel world. While reckoning with the new power this gives her, Ashley has to deal with the resurfacing of repressed feelings and personal demons which come to the forefront after the start of a new forbidden romance, as well as learning to trust in new friends who come together in troubling times to give each other support, comfort, and of course, backup in battle.
Marked as both an original story and a Persona story because the story's premise is inspired by Persona 5 (and the Persona series in general). However, you do not have to be a Persona fan to read this, as all the characters and setting are new and the rules of the Persona universe are re-explained (and straight-up altered in a few places).
Note: This story should only be posted to Archive of our Own and Royal Road. If you find it anywhere else, please let me know.

Summary
(Self-Insert; 1st Point of View)
Japan is a nice place to tour around. It’s always been my dream to be here whenever I go on vacation, but to be here for school is much more amazing than I thought. I have a beautiful dorm with my meal plan giving me free meals throughout the whole trip. Then I encountered two guys that I had to turn my head around. If I didn’t, then I have no idea what would’ve happened.

Summary
In which a GF-fangirl wakes up to find herself in the body of a baby Bill Cipher before the events of canon happens. Welp, lets see how much she can fuck this up.
(Updates once every other week)
(Now canonically a shared universe with the Triplet AU, Dimension 46'/-A and One Way(to absolve his crime))
IMPORTANT NOTE: Ok, so I've decided to just put a warning right here about BlueBill from Dimension 46'/-A. He's not a good person, and is going to trigger a lot of people. Also putting up an angst warning for when things get super emotionally draining as a result of BlueBill and other terrible things making Bill spiral into depression.
This is backstory, character exploration, slice of life and very much a cradle to the grave sort of thing. And... apparently the romance is finally coming up. Woop?
This is not meant to be taken seriously, it's just a stupid idea I'm writing for fun.Series

Summary
An origin story and rewrite of the Paw Patrol, for a bit older audiences! References to other forms of media, and a more expansive take on the world of the Paw Patrol. When Adventure Bay is falling apart, two young boys will bring together a force for good that will help save the city and further! Saving one's life means saving the future! GO, RESCUE FORCE!
This story will be considerably darker than the original PAW Patrol show, acknowledging the dangerous side of things, and dealing with the potential adverse effects that two young men and a group of puppies that are mentally children have to save people and face off against evil on a frequent, almost daily basis. But it will also contain brightness, light. Hope, fun, fond memories, friendship, and family.
Please leave a comment or a kudos, it really helps me and I want to hear your thoughts on the story. Also, I want to know if you guys get the references I sneak in.

Summary
Winter Reid has always tried to flow with the current. It was hard enough just keeping her head above the water when her father’s moods sucked up all of the oxygen around her. She learned to tread carefully and not make any unnecessary ripples. When her family fled their California home near the beach for a cramped trailer in Hawkins... Winter met a boy. A boy who made his own waves.
As Eddie Munson prepares to graduate from Hawkins High, Winter decide it might be time to step out of his shadow & find a place where she belongs. When she joins the cheerleading squad, Eddie worries they will drift apart. But, something else is coming that will make her question everything she thought she knew about herself and her town.
This story features an original main character named Winter Reid. I do not describe body types, hair color, eye color, skin tones, or height. I hope you can see yourself in this character & follow as her journey unfolds. other og characters have been created to expand the world & they will interact alongside our favorite heroes.
This fic discusses anxiety & dissociative disorders. Minor tw for parental abuse.
chapter titles are songs from the 70s/80s!

Summary
The druids of old created the Prophecy of The Once and Future King.
And they got it wrong.
“They what?”
“Wrong. They misinterpreted it.” Whatshisname is excited and has no idea Merlin is about ten seconds away from having the meltdown to end all meltdowns. Possibly literally. He is really rather stupidly powerful in his old age.
“Explain. Quickly. Less excitedly.”
Or
There are reasons why you shouldn’t plan your future based on crystals. Or Druids. Or Dragons. Merlin would like a do-over, thanks.___
Continues on from canon, not a time travel fic.
