Summary
Following the death of Emily (and even with Lord Dominator having been defeated), Wander has not been the same at all. From embracing a new emo look to obsessing over death, the 15-year-old star nomad is struggling to grieve and mourn his mom in an actually healthy manner. So much so that his friendship with Sylvia is horribly strained when the zbornak's methods to try to help and support him are failing tremendously.
Things get even worse when they, along with everyone in the galaxy, begin traveling on an old ship they found to bring everyone back to their home planets. Little do they all know, the ship is haunted by a recently deceased couple. While they mean no harm, the same can't exactly be said about the mischievous yet obnoxious demon named Beetlejuice, who is also now haunting the old ship, too... And, boy... Does he have plans...

Summary
You never thought you would join MK’s group and become friends with the Sun Wukong. For a long time, you couldn’t maintain close relationships - people used you for their own benefit so you closed off your heart. Still, now, you went to sleepovers, training, helped with MK’s orders and you even went to see Macaque’s shadow plays (despite everyone advising you it was a terrible idea), when you didn’t have shifts at your family’s restaurant. But, even slithers of hope like this can suddenly make you feel lonely. Everyone slowly started to forget to invite you, or there weren’t enough tickets to events. It made you feel secondary, and the only time you interacted seemed to be when a villain popped up. Only one person seems to notice, and it starts something unexpected and it becomes even stranger when your enemy becomes your friend.
[This starts in Season 1, Episode 11 - Macaque. Will also be posting this on my Wattpad]

Summary
In Gotham, even miracles come with side effects.
Damian Wayne does not need friends. He does not do charity work.
But a weeklong suspension from school sees Alfred dragging him to volunteer at Dr. Thompkins’ second clinic in the Narrows, where he meets Dr. Aris Hale: the kind of doctor who stitches wounds without asking questions and keeps too many secrets behind soft brown eyes.
What starts as a curiosity becomes a mentor, a friend, and now an intriguing case the entire family can no longer ignore.
In a city built on rot and secrets, even healing can spread like infection.

Summary
When the nineteen-year-old otter of a photographer, Lyra Crawford, returns home for Winter Break, she hopes for nothing more than an awkward reunion with old friends, and peace enough to stave off the dissociative haze she’s never quite shaken.
She doesn’t expect to dream of the next murder.
Not long after her arrival, a town founder is found dead. And Lyra realizes that her waking dreams have started to become a living nightmare. The Fade, a string of killings committed years ago by her best friend’s father, has struck again.
Even if the original killer is still stuck behind bars.
Desperate to find a solid haven in her town’s hollow hold, Lyra must reconnect to her estranged friends, and work with a Detective who has followed the Fade more acutely than almost anyone. But as the Hollow Eye resurfaces alongside buried town secrets, Lyra begins to suspect the dreams aren’t merely warning her of a killer, no…
…but of how the silence grew within her, too.
Content Note: This project contains themes of dissociation, mental health struggles, violence, and occasional strong language.

Funny, isn’t it?
There was a point in time where Katsuki would’ve killed to have Izuku off his heels. Out of his life.
Now? Katsuki wakes up most nights, heart hammering in his chest as he attempts to calm his raging pulse from the vivid nightmares of Izuku with no arms. Of Izuku, bloodied and beaten, fighting for the world. He digs his palms into his eye sockets; sucks air in through clenched teeth as he sobs.
He’d give anything to have Izuku back in his life.
OR
Katsuki and Izuku drift after the war, and Katsuki doesn't understand why. Well, after ten fucking years of silence and the occasional bullshit excuses - Katsuki's going to make sure Izuku knows how he feels. God as his witness, he WILL get to the bottom if the nerd's fuck ass behavior.

Summary
Now, Chan is in his messages again, and Felix’s heart swoops fast in his chest, feeling something like his internal organs doing a summersault. He reads over the text on his screen.
Chan: I’m not trying to start anything.
Chan: but your package is at my place
This would be fine. This would be totally fine and cool if the only things Felix had ordered throughout the entire three weeks of their breakup weren’t a gross amount of sex toys and McDonalds. And he’s very fucking sure that the breakup didnt hit Chan hard enough for him to pick up door dashing.
So, there was only one more option to go by.
OR. Felix accidentally sends his package full of sex toys to Chan—his ex’s—apartment. Its been the pettiest, shittiest three weeks of his life and the last thing he wants is Chan at his door holding a box full of dildos to him, but the world seemed to be against him anyway.
Their inevitable interactions force Felix to reckon with thoughts that leave his poor little pride dangling above a shark full of hungry sharks.

Summary
"I don't know how to wrap this up, Cole usually does these. In my opinion, this was a bust, more or less. The flashlight could've been broken, batteries explode and heat up all the time, smoke and fires can be easily explained by bad air ventilation and faulty wiring. It's just… I listened to the recording, from Cole's microphone. On mine it's clear as day — it's Cole who uses the fire extinguisher, I tell them I'm going out and that's it. Next thing I know, they're sobbing while hiding in a closet. But, on Cole's recording… I heard myself, speaking things I did not say. It makes no sense."
______
Two friends, Cole and Danny, investigate alleged haunting at a family's house. Things take a drastic turn really quick.

Summary
Izuku and Katsuki had known each other once. Had you asked Izuku at the time, he would have told you that Kacchan was his absolute best friend in the entire world. He would have told you that Kacchan and him were going to stay together forever. That they'd move to Tokyo together like they always talked about on those days they'd spent at Izuku's desk doing their Middle School homework. That, once they were in Tokyo, they'd finally be carefree, Katsuki would be safe and Izuku wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.
Ask Izuku about him now and he'll tell you that Bakugou Katsuki died at the age of 13 and that he will no longer speak on the subject. He'll tell you to leave him alone. He'll tell you to fuck off.
-—
Or a story in which Bakugou Katsuki had abusive parents and ran away from home, leaving Izuku, oblivious until then, a single note that told him Katsuki didn't want to be found, but forgotten. Ever since then, Izuku has tried just that, to live his life and forget, but he hasn't yet figured out how. Eventually, he might have still worked it out, but then Katsuki and him meet again in a random bar in Tokyo with ten years of radio silence between them. Now that truly throws Izuku a curveball. -

Summary
"Zam faces him and leans against the fridge. There’s a new glint in her eyes that definitely wasn’t there a moment ago. He doesn’t recognize it, but he can tell he doesn’t like it, either.
This is going somewhere. That’s probably bad.
'Y’know, it’s been forever since I’ve seen you with your hair down,' she says.
Her words catch him off guard. It has been a while. About two years, in fact. 'I mean, I sleep with it down, so,' he replies, shrugging, because what else was he supposed to say?
She grins. 'You should let me do it for you.'"
Or: The night before the battle against the Law, Zam offers to help Wemmbu with his hair. That's it, that's the fic.
