    Summary

    This is my Mass Effect: What If?

    What if Nihlus survived Eden Prime? What would change? At first, it might not seem like much at all...

    Summary

    This was supposed to be a typical bug hunt. The plan itself was simple: locate the hive; rescue any humans found along the way; kill the queen, then the hive; and celebrate with the squad over a few rounds after everything is accounted for; rinse and repeat. Corporal Caleb Grace wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary, until he meets face-to-face with a yautja hunter deep inside the hive. The pair begrudgingly work together to survive, fighting off the xenomorphs while also fighting off the feelings they have for each other. ;)

    Summary

    From a dying planet, controlled by a twisted corporation called ConCorp, Etho was chosen from 19.8 billon people to be shoved on a shuttle and shot out into space to bring humanities dream of manifest destiny to light. Out of every person in the world, Etho was the unlucky bastard to be shoved front and center.

    1683 humans left on the Ares Mission, 1682 returned. Humanity couldn’t care less about Etho, not anymore. So here he was, trapped, caged, watched. He was an oddity, he was dangerous, unheard of, and he was a trading card.

    No one knew how important one little human could be, after all, no one besides humans had ever seen humans. Etho was a pioneer for the human race, and he was…. hiding under a bed…

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu was prepared for demons, swords, and betrayal - not pointy hats, dragons, elves and the suspiciously ring with cursed vibes. Now caught in a world with no cultivation, and far too much walking, Shen Qingqiu must rely on his greatest skills: talking nonsense with confidence and pretending to have a plan while hoping he doesn’t die a third time.

    Or: Shen Qingqiu transmigrates to Middle Earth after he self detonates.

    Summary

    After a particularly harrowing adventure, Rose is left shaken by the memories it brings up. Especially when the Doctor decides that to protect her, he had to go after the aliens they'd just escaped from, on his own at all costs. What lengths will he go to, if it means keeping her safe? What will he return to find, after having left Rose alone to deal with her past in combination with his betrayal? As they fight to move forward, both of them have to confront their own desires and darkness and each other's, if they truly want to be each other's forever.

    Honestly started this just as an excuse to write them having angry sex in the jumpseat but now I'm roughly nine-hundred pages in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Rewrite of the end of season one, from just before Boomtown. Will be at least a three part series. Parts one and two are finished and will post weekly, part three... we'll get there when we get there.

    Summary

    America wasn't like the sitcoms Wanda watched as a child. There were no laugh tracks, falling was painful not slapstick, everything didn’t come out OK after 20 minutes, and the guy in the hospital didn’t go home at the end of the episode. If the Avengers were one big, happy family, then Wanda wasn’t a part of it.

    Steve and Sam didn’t trust her and they were right to. Natasha was perfectly professional, as if Wanda hadn’t locked her into her worst memory and walked away. Clint had to return to his family and the other boys were rarely around. And Pietro, the life always sprinting parallel to her own, as crucial as oxygen, lay unnaturally still and silent, his mind closed off.

    And then, one day, Natasha brought her daughter to work. And for the first time in four weeks, Wanda felt hopeful. Wanda was good with kids. Really good. And the others adored Steffie. Maybe if the kid warmed up to Wanda, the others would too.

    … That wasn't precisely what happened.

     

    Or how Wanda and Steffie hate each other until they don’t, and their sharp edges cut until they stitch.

    (Can be read without reading the previous fics in the series, but you'll miss some of the context and humour.)

    Summary

    The desert of Copper Rock was known as a dangerous place. Not because of its scorching sun or frigid nights, but because of a gang of robotic bandits that reside somewhere within the sandy expanse. And leading these bandits is an Operator Drone, a robot with animalistic parts made for sturdier servitude.

    Upon one excursion, they raid a small caravan of desert ships. With them, they take a large and hefty chest among other loot. It's believed that something priceless is held within the chest, and is therefore given to the bandit leader.

    Indeed, there was something quite priceless held within that chest. Something more priceless than gold or diamond or rubies or any other jewel imaginable. Because what was held inside wasn't a piece of precious metal at all.

    It was a living, breathing human, who was now stuck in the hands of the desert bandit leader.

    Summary

    I was always a cursed child, for as long as I could remember. Bad luck followed me wherever I went, and I thought it was mostly a coincidence, only half heartedly collecting good luck charms from random cultures and skimmed tidbits of mysticism from pawn shop books I didn’t buy.

    Except for one book. A legitimate witch’s grimoire randomly showing up in my dad’s inheritance after I accidentally killed him with an unlucky throw of a beer bottle.

    On the verge of death, I tried a reincarnation ritual I remembered from it’s pages, but somehow, it’s landed me inside the head of some random baby and her deadly, insane, masochistic family. Child services, I know we’ve had our differences, but please save my little sister and I!!!

    Also this work is posted on Scribblehub too here https://www.scribblehub.com/series/1569922/wednesday-and-friday-addams/

    This is my first time posting on AO3 so I might mess things up a bit.
    Will attempt to do weekly uploads. Tags might be added as story progresses, and exact romance is undecided in the future, just vague ideas. Gore isn’t very heavy currently I believe. <

    Summary

    Alannys’s dying wish to her youngest child was to stop lying and free himself from denial and self loathing. Theon made her a promise, with her dying words now heart-held, he's let go of the falsities he'd created and moves forward. He's reconnected with himself, with his people and the Drowned.

    He lives in The North Country but remains Ironborn, a Seamaiden made of sweet-salt and iron. Turning to the Drowned God and joining the Eastyde Covenant has helped him find his way. Now three years later he's happy, comfortable with his nature and committed to a steadfast Alpha. His community is thriving in The North, their future bright with the coming rite of the new Heart Tree taking root in an estuary.

    However, maneuvering the complexities of cultural differences between the seafolk and northfolk is difficult. Alpha or Kraken, Galen or Beta, Omega or Seamaid. What one tradition means for one people may be destructive to the other.

    Summary

    (Before Horizons came out I had this story planned out but never wrote the whole thing)

    Ash Ketchum the new Alolan champion was invited to stay in Galar with his older brother.
    "After all this time, he finally wants to see me?" Was all he thought.
    Galar wasn't what he thought it would be. He wanted adventure and meeting new people instead he's being badgered at every turn to "stay where we can see you." or "That's too dangerous!"
    He's sick of it. There is a while world out there and he didn't need him then and he doesn't need him now. He's proven himself enough so why is he being forced back into his brother's shadow?!

    Summary

    Darwin is unpredictable off pitch as much as during a match. His grins, a little too lopsided when he teases. His frown, a little too deep when he's harsh on himself. A brain working by its own rules, no explanation for the mind behind the man.

    The photos were just one of his many intricate ways to convey a message. The thing was, Mohamed didn't know what they were supposed to mean. (or did he)

    *

    Mo finds Darwin's selfies on his phone and is left confused - from there, things unfold.
