Summary
One of Nursey's poems gets published in an actual magazine, so Dex decides to take a look at it. And then subsequently decides that it's imperative that he knows who it was written about. Imperative enough to run all the way across campus in the middle of December just to find out.

Summary
Having lost both her husband and her son in a tragic accident four years ago, Sheriff Jody Mills has finally built a new life for herself and her adopted daughter Alex in the town of Sioux Falls. Then life decides it's not yet done with Jody, and throws her one more curve ball in the form of stunningly handsome single father Jimmy Novak. Charmingly awkward, unexpectedly witty, and with eyes that make a girl want to sit up and beg, Jimmy just might be the type of man that'll make Jody reconsider her previous dedication to her single status. But where Jody has learned to live with her loss, Jimmy still finds himself mired in his own tragic past.

Summary
“I have orders to move you away from the conflict. Is there anywhere you need to be, miss? A friend’s apartment, or a place of work? I want you to be safe.”
Lena pauses to take in the absurdity of the moment: she’s wearing clothes she hasn’t worn in years, standing on top of an overturned bus, surrounded by fire and smoke, and Supergirl is asking her where she wants to go like it’s a date and whoops, no, don’t go down that road, Luthor.
or: lena needs to hide and lex is trying to kill her and somehow supergirl gets thrown into the mix.

Summary
“Oh, whatever!” Jiang Cheng said, turning to dismiss him with a wave as he started to walk away. “Face it! You’re only participating in the Night Hunt because it’s for your birthday! If it were anyone else’s, they probably wouldn’t have bothered to invite you.” He scoffed, turning away as he said, “I know I wouldn’t.”
---
Jiang Yanli is the Sect leader, and Jin Zixuan is affianced to Jiang Cheng, and it goes about as well as you'd think. Truth-shrooms get involved (and have sex-pollen side effects because I don't want to be here forever to get them together, I am impatient). -

Royalty, Piracy and Witchery abound...

Summary
The impossible was done even before they even had to battle the Somnoven, and Molly had been brought back to the Might Nein with a kiss. Back to friends that have changed and grown, and some even have fallen into love while he was gone. To a world that has lived without him. But could it last?
Thrust into a fight that he could not have understood, Essek had to learn what it really meant to trust and love his friends, how rich life could be if he thought of more than himself. But there is still danger lurking for him from his past choices.
Caleb finds himself between two magical purple men, who shouldn’t still be in his life, but against all odds are right by his side. Even as the adventures keep coming after Cognoza, with Trent’s defeat, lap dances at the Lavish Chateau, fights with the Cerberus Assembly, a bisexual maelstrom of sexual tension from all his past and present love interests, revelations about the Luxon and Lucien’s past.
Come for the sexual humor, stay for the angst. A reimagining of episodes 136-141 and after. Slow burn Shadowidomauk. Smut is marked with “*” in chapter titles if that's what you are here for.
Marked complete 01/25/25 even though there could be more story to tell.

Summary
“We’re not together,” Kageyama huffs, shaking his head slowly, awkwardly, definitely drunkenly. Looking straight ahead at the liquor in front of the bar and leaning on his elbows. “He’s in Brazil.”
“Oh,” Atsumu replies. Oh!
“And you’re here with me,” Atsumu states, stupidly
Or:
Atsumu gets a bit more than he bargained for. -

"Wordlessly, and slowly, Bruce takes one breath after another, composing himself. He hands Jason the slightly crumpled sheet of paper. Jason reads it quickly. Quicker than Bruce, but he reads it again and again and again. Finally snapping with panicked urgency, 'What the fuck is this?'
Bruce, completely devoid of any inflection, forces himself to simply state the facts in front of him. 'That is Red Robin’s two week notice.'"
Or
Tim really thought leaving would be a lot easier. Both figuratively and literally.

Summary
It makes sense that Marina fell in love with Pearl. If the marks really are there, they’re meant for each other. If the marks really are there, they’re destined, chosen by whichever force of the universe that doles these things out.
What doesn’t make sense is why Pearl hasn’t fallen just the same.

Oh god oh fuck I'm! Soft!
The miscommunication as a plot device is the main story but oh my gosh? The color-changing freckles? Galaxy brain moment... also cover-up tattoo for octos? Absolutely brilliant, I don't tend to read Splatoon fic but this is really good, y'all. -
