Summary
Castiel is presently an octopus from the waist down. But the curse is only going to last a few more hours, and there's only so long Dean can delay before asking Cas to act out the erotic anime closest to his heart: "Sweet Princess Asuka Meets the Tentacles of Pleasure". Cas is the tentacle monster. And Dean is the heartbroken princess, seeking renewal in the monster's lagoon of love. The storyline may not be complicated, but when their half-innocent roleplay becomes more sensual than they planned, their feelings grow complex. Dean can leave the paddling pool in the bunker garage behind, but once Cas has his legs back, he can follow. There are still feelings to resolve. Their story isn't over yet.

Summary
This story has been living in my brain rent-free for almost ten years. It’s special to me because Metalocalypse was literally my introduction to fandom. So, I’m finally giving in and writing the damn thing, because why not?
An attempt at a satisfactory reconciliation between Magnus and Dethklok post-Doomstar. Kind of a character study. Eventual Hammertooth.
This will contain a lot of canon-typical gruesomeness, canon-typical substance abuse, and some very canon-atypical self-awareness. Also some horny shit, because come on.
I tagged for rape/non-con just to be safe, but it is only referenced/implied and non-explicit.

Summary
“It’s… not possible for you to be here,” Aventurine gulps, his eyes wide, “Did Acheron also send you here?”
You shake your head. “No. But God did.”
“’God’…?”
Inside the black hole, what awaits Aventurine is not anyone… but you; the slithery, dead-eyed Dreamweaver whom he encountered a couple of times back in Penacony.
Despite the emptiness in your eyes, he always feels like you can see way past through him—and even further, to universes of the past and the future that simultaneously happen at the same time.

Mezhon runes — (Developmental/Prototype Tests) by Pick-n-Mix Comix (PicknMixComix), TheAestheticMerchant (Teacat)
Fandoms: Original Work
11 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
The idea for Mezhon is taken mainly from your classic Elder Futhark series of runic inscriptions; it was designed to be a simple way for dragons in the Chasm of Stars to leave behind messages carved into the runic "dragonstones" left behind as memorials on the planets and in the realms they visited. Currently, there's 38 runes for different consonants, vowels, digraphs, and other sounds within the Dragorean language, and they can be written individually or using the "Valozian method", which is more common — inspired by Korean hangul, the Valozian method presents Mezhon runes and messages in blocks of four, representing two runes/sounds/phonemes at a time to form the full word.
Blocks of four become blocks of four to form longer words or sentences, and because it's still fairly primitive, there's currently no way to differentiate between sentences or parts of speech, as I'm mostly testing it with basic Dragorean names and syllabic phrases, but I expdct that might change as it continues to evolve and I finalize more of what the Mezhon runes actually look like.
This document is mostly some of my crude, first-run trial tests of some prototype Mezhon runes and what names in the Valozian method might look like.
