Summary
(Adopted from KudaKano) Years after the Battle in Burgess, a new enemy known as Flicker arose and started to cause trouble to the Guardians. But for some odd reason, he is completely obsessed with Jack Frost himself, and they don't know why. Like the fire, feelings of desire will flicker and arise.

Summary
Months after Pitch’s defeat, Jack Frost senses something wrong in the wind. A whisper of fear. A dream turned dark. Following the trail leads him to a shadow he never expected to see again—weak, wounded, but unmistakably alive. Pitch Black.
Curiosity turns into cautious visits. Arguments turn into banter. And somewhere in the half-light of an abandoned tunnel, Jack begins to question where the line really lies between enemy and something else. Because the Boogeyman might be broken, but he’s not gone—and Jack can’t seem to stay away.
A slow-burning tale of fractured trust, reluctant companionship, and the flicker of something more beneath frost and shadow.

Summary
*Full description inside, because it's "too long"*
Jack loved his life as a Guardian. Protecting children, spreading joy, and finally belonging made the loneliness of his past feel distant, especially with Pitch gone. Yet the world has begun to change. Division, unrest, and a growing coldness spread with no clear cause, until Jack learns the truth: the Spirit of Love, Cupid, has been missing for over a century. To undo the damage, Jack and North set out to find her. Instead of the love-struck spirit he imagined, Jack finds a bitter recluse who agrees to help only if she can return to solitude once Strife—the Spirit of Anger and her natural opposite—is defeated. As Strife prepares for war, Cupid joins the Guardians one last time. Privately, North gives Jack a task: keep her happy. As he grows closer to her, affection comes easily for him, but painfully slow for her. She insists she’ll leave when it’s over, and Jack begins to realize how deeply immortality, loss, and love have scarred her.
Trigger warning! Reader has issues with self-loathing, self-worth, and suicide. If you can’t handle those topics, please read with care. I don’t own the canon characters or cover art; I own the original characters and plot.

Summary
As winter's grip tightens, Jack Frost—once invisible—now a Guardian, revels in children's belief. Yet, joy turns to dread as nightmares erode his memories, from details to faces from his past. Desperate, he storms Pitch Black's sealed lair, accusing the weakened Nightmare King of the torment.
Pitch denies it, revealing Somnivori—dream-devourers latching onto wounded spirits, feasting on hopes, traumas, and identities until nothing remains. Jack bargains: help banish them for protection from other Guardians.
Delving into dream realms, banter exposes grudges and vulnerabilities. Pitch's knowledge clashes with Jack's impulsiveness, unearthing forgotten lives and horrors blurring enemy lines. As Somnivori manifest, feeding on fears, secrets from millennia past surface—threatening their essence. In frost and shadow, trust fights hunger that could consume them, altering belief and terror.

Summary
Fifteen years after the Guardians’ victory over Pitch Black, peace has settled over their world, and they’ve continued to thrive. But for Jack Frost, the years have brought a growing loneliness as one by one, his believers have faded away. Even Jamie, his last believer, has finally lost faith, leaving Jack adrift and questioning his purpose.
Just as he grapples with this despair, a new and sinister threat emerges. An attack on North’s workshop on Christmas Eve leaves Jack shaken and leads him to the depths of Pitch’s lair, where he finds the Nightmare King himself battling monstrous creatures—beings with twisted limbs and hollow eyes.
Forced into an uneasy alliance, Jack and Pitch join forces to uncover the origins of these creatures. As they venture deeper into the lair’s dark corridors, they stumble upon long-buried secrets and fragments of forgotten memories, discovering a connection that binds them in ways they never anticipated. What begins as a search for answers becomes a journey of self-discovery, revealing hidden truths and feelings neither of them expected to find.

Their connection begins in fear and misunderstanding. Bunnymund believes Death is a threat tied to Pitch; Death, gentle and unseen by nature, is terrified when discovered. She runs. He hunts.Doubt slowly replaces certainty as Bunnymund witnesses her care and lack of cruelty, and Death realizes his anger comes from devotion to protecting joy, not hatred.

Summary
Christmas settles gently over the North Pole, and with it comes a rare moment of calm after everything the Guardians have endured. As snow falls endlessly outside the Ice Palace, Jack Frost finds himself wandering familiar halls—this time, not alone. Toothiana joins him for a quiet walk, and what begins as casual conversation slowly turns into reflection, gratitude, and unspoken feelings that have lingered far longer than either of them ever admitted.
Sometimes, even in a world built on belief and magic, the smallest moments can mean everything.

Summary
Becoming a Guardian was one thing. Learning how to be one is another.
Jack Frost isn't used to having people around to rely on. The Guardians aren't used to a new member yet, let alone one so young. This series of connected one-shots explore the awkward, the angst, the fluff, and the found family that eventually sneaks up on them. They have more in common than any of them realize, and the guardians learn to enjoy those connections.

Summary
Elisa was mindlessly staring at the results given by her doctor. He had given her some time and space to take in and accept the fact that she was going to become a mother. All of the tests they had gone through showed that she was four weeks along. She clutched her stomach, despite knowing she was nowhere close to showing and most likely wouldn’t for another couple of months. But it was just so surreal. She was going to be a mother.
She was going to be a mother.
The platinum-blonde didn’t completely know what to do with the information. There was no doubt in her mind that she’d keep the baby, regardless of who their father was, but it still felt scary. She didn’t even want to think of how her husband was going to take the news. If he did, who knew what he’d do to her or how he’d react. Both of them knew it wasn’t his. The town could think what it wanted to, but they would know the truth. Her friends would know the truth. Yet, that wasn’t her biggest concern, regardless of what her husband might demand or pressure. Rather, she didn’t know how she’d be able to raise her child all by herself.

Summary
When construction crews accidentally unearth Pitch Black's sealed lair in Burgess, Pennsylvania, the Nightmare King's return sparks a series of supernatural disturbances that catch the attention of Dr. Barbara Carmel—a brilliant polymath scientist living in Japan. Armed with cutting-edge equipment designed to detect spiritual energy, Barbara travels to Burgess in 2024, determined to prove the existence of the afterlife and supernatural entities.
After months of research and preparation, she successfully captures Pitch using an electromagnetic shockwave that plunges the town into darkness. Now, in February 2026, the weakened Nightmare King finds himself imprisoned in a reinforced cage, stripped of his shadow-traveling abilities and monitored by Barbara's advanced technology.
What begins as a clinical study of a mythological being evolves into a complex battle of wits. Pitch, still recovering from his previous defeat, attempts to manipulate his captor through psychological warfare. Barbara, haunted by the loss of her fiancé and unborn child in a lab accident, remains analytical and guarded—but their constant debates, philosophical discussions, and intellectual sparring create an unexpected connection.

Summary
After his defeat at the hands of the Guardians, Pitch Black finds himself flung into another time and place-medieval Scotland, long before the Guardians were even chosen. The world here is older, wilder, and ruled by ancient magics and living myths. There, he discovers a fiery-haired princess named Merida on the cusp of adulthood, her spirit untamed and her nights haunted by nightmares not of his doing. Bored, weakened, but still cunning, Pitch begins training the girl under the guise of a mysterious swordmaster-feeding off the fear in the land while stoking a strange kinship with the young royal who refuses to yield to anyone. As Merida nears her eighteenth year, the shadows grow stronger... and so does her skill. But questions stir in her heart-who is her nightly tutor really, and why does the darkness feel so familiar?

Summary
Days after his devastating defeat, Pitch Black crawls from his sealed lair—broken, unseen, and powerless. His own nightmares have left him battered with shattered ribs, deep gashes, and fractures that refuse to heal. Reduced to a shadow of his former terror, he haunts the dark alleys of Burgess, scraping together fragments of residual fear just to survive.
But everything changes when he stumbles upon an abandoned newborn in a dumpster—a baby girl with a prominent birthmark covering half her face, left to die in the cold. Despite the Fearlings' venomous whispers in his mind and his own disbelief at his actions, Pitch finds himself unable to walk away when the infant's green eyes meet his.
Now, the once-feared Nightmare King must navigate the ways of raising a mortal child. With malevolent voices constantly mocking his choices, Pitch embarks on the most terrifying challenge he's ever faced: raising a child.
As he navigates the impossible task of parenthood while hiding from the Guardians and struggling with his own darkness, Pitch must confront a question he never thought he'd ask: Can a monster learn to love? And can the innocent belief of one tiny human be enough to save them both?

Summary
Hiccup's desperately trying to figure out what exactly is the deal with Burgess ever since he moved in. He keeps dreaming of a lake. Or more specifically, drowning in one. He knows there's a lake, but there are no photos, no maps to where this lake is. Hiccup knows it exists, because the other residences know about it too, but whenever he asks for details they seem to know nothing, baring a few exceptions, and Hiccup can't help but feel like he's going insane.
All of this, somehow, leads to him giving Jack Frost a four hour car ride. Jack, who's the center of all of this in one way or another.

Summary
Four months after his defeat by the Guardians, Pitch Black finds himself at his lowest-injured, hunted by his own Nightmares, and stripped of his power. When he collapses in a Pennsylvania wheat field during a storm, he's discovered by Elizabeth Cramer, a 22-year-old farmer who sees him not as the Nightmare King, but as a man in desperate need of help. Color-blind and isolated from the world beyond her family's struggling farm, Elise has no idea who he is or what he's done. As she nurses him back to health, Pitch must confront the humanity he thought he'd lost centuries ago, while Elise begins to see that the world-and the beings in it-are far stranger than she ever imagined. In the quiet spaces between fear and trust, an unlikely bond forms that will challenge everything they thought they knew about monsters, redemption, and what it means to be seen.

What Absorbs Light by DKThunderStories for slimeys0daa

Summary
After a series of unfortunate events, Pitch has been placed under the firm metaphorical thumb of the Guardians, and despite the Guardians' (mostly Jack's) attempts to be civil, remains tight-lipped and pouty. It seems like nothing can get this Boogeyman to speak seriously, if at all. Unless some odd trinket in North's office has any influence on him.
based on (and made in close collaboration with) slimeys0daa's "Crystalized Emotions" AU, introduced on TT
