Summary
“My name is Quackity, I’m your guardian angel.”
This time, the man spread his wings slightly, as if that alone should settle the matter.
“…Oh. Okay.” He turned around again and kept walking, now faster.
This island was full of crazy people, Multi swears.
or, a guardian angel is tasked with stopping one suicidal scientist from accidentally killing himself— and everyone else on the island.

Summary
“Actually, did you know that the number of pathogens passed through a mere handshake is astonishing?” Evidently, he’s a hand-talker—his long-fingered hands have been brought up together, gesturing vaguely as he speaks to you.
“Um,” you put in, but he plows on.
“It’s technically safer to kiss someone,” he finishes, glancing at you again to see your reaction.
Oh. You furrow your eyebrows. Well, it’s not a conventional greeting, but to each their own. Hopefully this will make up for whatever faux pas you’ve committed. Shrugging internally, you step forward and press your mouth to Dr. Reid’s.Sometimes, you take things a little too literally. It can be both a blessing and a curse.

Summary
“Now, who’s this?” Hotch asks, his face melting into something Spencer knows is born of being a father. It’s tender and warm and mirrors everything Spencer feels on the daily, but never knows how to express. Maybe it’s as simple as the look he can’t keep off his face.
Charlotte’s giggle keeps him smiling, with the added joke of, “I don’t know what you mean.”
“Well, I hate to break this to you, but I think you have a koala on your back.”
He feigns confusion: “A koala on my back—oh my goodness there’s a koala on my back!” He hoists her further up, tipping his head back to meet her eyes. “Hello miss, have you seen a koala around here?”
Charlotte fully laughs this time, her eyes squinting into the crow's feet he loves to see. “That’s me!”
Spencer Reid is twenty-five, and Charlotte Reid is six. This is how they come to be.

Summary
“Harrington,” he croaks - god why, why do I have to sound like that in front of him - he clears his throat, continuing, “you couldn’t have done me a favour and let me die in that shithole, spare me from Dustin?”
Steve finally turns to look at him, grinning madly. Fuck, Eddie thinks, fuck this is so unfair. You’re just standing there looking at me like that, smiling, all broad and pretty and scarred up, fuuuck.

Alternatively titled: the Steve Harrington bisexual crashout of 1986. Because vecna might be dead- but repressing your feelings (and trying therapeutic D&D with the direct cause of your identity crisis)- is quite enough to be getting on with.

Summary
Steve nods toward El, drawing the kid’s attention there. “That’s El, my sister. If you take a look at her wrist, you’ll see a number there. Eleven.” The kid’s eyes widen at that. “Mine too. I have one, just like you.”
He pushes his sleeve up, unlatches the watch. There’s a special product he’s supposed to use to take the concealer off, but after so many days, it’s flaking anyway. It’s not hard to drag his nails over the fake coloring until the ugly black markings underneath pop up. He angles his wrist, giving the kid a clear shot. He hears his breath catch. Steve’s had too, when he’d read the kid’s number and put two and two together.
“I have one just like you,” he repeats. Dustin lets the kid raise his own wrist, pressing it close to Steve’s. The two three-digit figures sit there, next to each other, mirroring their twin. Steve sucks in a breath. “You feel things that you shouldn’t, that aren’t yours. None of the scientists know it, but you can change them too. You’re stronger than anyone else can tell. Do you know how I know that?”
Little Number Seven nods and whispers, “‘Cause you’re me.”
or, Steve is from the lab. His child self shows up in his living room. This is a problem.

Summary
“Eddie,” Gareth says, solemnly.
Eddie nods.
“I’m telling you now, even though I know it’s pointless, because you never listen to anything I say. Ever.”
Eddie nods again.
“Please. I am begging you. Do not fuck our new roommate.”
“Why the fuck would you say that?” Eddie hisses, cheeks aflame again. “What is wrong with your-”
“That’s all I’m saying,” Gareth interrupts airily, hands up in mock surrender. “No further objections. You’re just a natural disaster, and I’d rather keep the apartment a conflict free zone, so.”---
Eddie and Gareth require two new roommates (must be okay with illegally housed cats, must be chill with late night band practices). Robin and Steve require a place to live, and have little to no other options.
Months down the line, Eddie still finds himself tongue tied and avoidant around his very hot-probably-straight-weirdly-intense new cohabitation buddy, which is all very well and good- until they end up snowed in together during a powercut, and are forced to get a little cozy together <3- Language:

Platonic Stobin is the central focus of the story, but Steddie and Rockie are romantic relationships that develop later in the series.
This series began as a few short stories written for #stobinmonth 2023. Then it grew!

Summary
Regulus is dreading meeting his soulmate. Worse, he has no idea what his sign will be. A mark on his skin, a flash of light when they touch…
Then he wakes up in an unfamiliar body and realises he is one of the very few destined for a soul switch—a body swap.
Usually, this wouldn’t be a problem. Evidently, the universe forgot to take into account his overly protective brother who would treat an intruder in his little brother’s body as a possible demonic entity.
Just his luck.
[or, Regulus and James swap bodies, Remus is stressed, and Sirius is the best brother]

Summary
Best friends Regulus and Barty attend a support group for people like them in the local area: Mutants. Those with strange abilities or enhanced physical attributes. At said group, they meet many interesting individuals such as a terribly handsome young man who can transfigure any object with a touch, a woman with wings, and a man who can shapeshift.
Oh, and then Regulus finds his older brother—the one who abandoned him many years ago and never looked back.
Predictably, Regulus is prepared to flee, but then he realises this could be a good opportunity to finally get some closure. Little does he know, he’ll be getting a lot more than that.
[or, a Mutants AU with the promise of Black Brothers reconciliation, Jegulus, Wolfstar, and Minerva McGonagall]
