    Summary

    Being imprisoned by your father Malekith was what saved you from your race's total extinction.

    When you were freed, you knew they had lost. For the second time.

    Seeing the hopeless destruction, you sought to wander the nine realms one last time, with the intention of ending on Asgard— to your own demise.

    That is, until you met Her.

    Summary

    It’s always the flirty jerk-jock dared to make the innocent soft-nerd fall for them.

    Well… what if we flipped the cliché?

    Everyone thinks Kim Minji—the soccer MVP, Dean’s Lister, and professors' favorite—is the campus heartbreaker. Technically, she’s not. She’s just quiet, polite, and absolutely uninterested in romance.

    Until one night, a dare puts her in Hanni’s orbit.

    Hanni—the chaotic, flirtatious nerd and certified menace—thought it’d be funny. It's just a dare kiss anyway. Flirt with the Icewall? Easy. Win the dare? Easier. Catch feelings? Please.

    She’s straight.

    Summary

    Louis never meant to swap his CEO office for nappies and pacifiers, but when his best mate Ben’s cancer diagnosis pulls him into full-time godfather duty, he’s suddenly juggling toddlers, hospital visits, and suppressed memories that won’t stop breaking open old wounds.
    Across town, Dr. Harry Styles battles a crumbling palliative ward, a brain that won’t shut off, and a photographic memory that refuses to let go of the one sixth form crush who shaped far more of his life than he’d ever admit.

    Or the one where school-weirdo Harry brainiac Styles has become a palliative care doctor, school-dropout Louis arse-to-die-for Tomlinson a self-made CEO with a terminally ill best friend, and the universe thinks it’s a good idea to throw them back together after 17 years—with two kids, two dogs, a fiercly loyal circle of friends and family, and a whole lot of meant-to-be.

    Special guests: pretty much everyone, plus a stoned donkey and Lewis Capaldi.

    Summary

    MC randomly wakes up in a field with 0 memories and finds herself having to figure out how to survive in the world of Minecraft while refusing to kill hostile mobs. Said mobs will end up being interested in her, maybe seeking more than just friendship. Will she beat the game? Will she die tragically? Will she successfully romance the mobs? Who knows! You'll only know by reading

    NOTE: This is extremely self indulgent and uploads will be sporadic. I'm writing this for fun and fun alone. English is not my first language and so I am not the best at writing, please keep that in mind. Also if you want to know more fun facts about the characters, species, see behind the scenes or interact with me I have a Tumblr. @leshyyy-draws-nd-writes or The.Lesh . I also post art and the character designs on there. Any and all support is highly appreciated!

    ALSO reminder that all the mobs are my own OCs, so be respectful and remember there's a human being behind the screen, thank you <3 anyway I hope you enjoy this dumpster fire of a fic (might add more tags as this goes on)

    Summary

    In a world of gods and monsters, the most dangerous job isn't fighting on the front lines—it's managing the hero who can end you with a single thought.

    Chara is a brilliant and completely ambitionless analyst whose greatest skill is solving impossible problems. Having long since given up on his own dreams of being a hero, he is content to "live with the flow" and do his job. But his quiet life is shattered when he is given a new assignment: to act as the official liaison for the S-Class Rank 2 hero, Tatsumaki.

    His problem is Tatsumaki, the Tornado of Terror. She is less a person and more a walking apocalypse, a goddess of psychic power whose temper tantrums can reshape coastlines. Her arrogance is a fortress, built to hide, and she has dismantled every handler foolish enough to try and get close.

    But when you're the designated handler for a hurricane, is being the smartest man in the room a gift, or is it just a slower, more interesting way to die?

    Summary

    Is there a reality where humans and dragons can coexist peacefully, given the messy heart of humanity? Yes. But for that dream to survive, you cannot stay isolated. Empathy is not enough without a bridge to the rest of the world. You need the missing puzzle piece. You need a Marius.

    Despite being an island famed for its dragon killers, isn't it strange how no empire, no country has launched a crusade to kill dragons themselves? To take over the job and be done with it?

    For centuries, Berk has enjoyed guaranteed sovereignty. The cost to being free from these crusaders? Kill the dragons and keep them away from flying south to the Mainland. Be the shield that keeps dragons from flying south, so that the great Empires look away.

    Berk's closest ally in this delicate peace has always been the Marius family. Their official business is trade. Their real job? Presenting Berk's 'proof of work' to the southern Empires, maintaining the balance of power through information and coin.

    But the entire world is thrown off its axis when Hiccup befriends a Night Fury.

    -

    A retelling of HTTYD that rebuilds the world from the ground up to explore what it would truly take for dragons to remain.

    Summary

    You are a mechanic and scientist, living in The Haven and working on outcast Synthetics and Cyborgs who have no place in the world of The Five. Older models, damaged units, people who were seen as dangerous or unfit for civilization.

    One day, you are approached by Dame Sylvia and offered a job you can't refuse; working on and studying hybrid synthetics. You agree to work under Boy Kavalier, after a lifetime of avoiding working for The Five. However, your new coworker Kirsh has already decided to despise you, and you're fine with that. You can deal with that. You aren't here to make friends.

    But when the lines start to mix and feelings get involved, you find yourself powerless to that cold stare of his.

    Summary

    He should just throw his feelings out of his head, it was that easy. It was just a stupid, dumb crush.
    He wiped his hands on his jeans, tying the plastic bag close so he could place it inside his fridge later when a paper fell out on his car floor.

    He quickly picked up, thinking it was a receipt. But it was a note, written in clean and elegant scrawl.


    'Mike,

    Thank you for performing again, it was really great! I hope you enjoy the pastries I made for you. If you want to hang out outside work (or not?) call me at xx-xxxx-xxxxx . It's my personal number!

    P.S. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you never saw this note? - Will Byers'

    Mike was so screwed.

    Summary

    A slice of life fic with a bit of a twist, sort of. Not too much fighting, I don't really care for it much. Neither Izuku, Toga, nor Setsuna will die, sort of. It's complicated. Also U.A. is a university because I don't like the idea of child soldiers.
    Also, this is my first major fic so I would absolutely love any positive feedback you have!

    Summary

    After losing everything to a corporate scandal, Crowley finds himself penniless, scarred, and freshly released from prison. The only job he can land? One that requires charm, control, and complete emotional detachment: escort work.

    Heavenly Falls is discreet. Luxurious. Legal. And run by the infamously reclusive Mr. Fell, a man who prides himself on ethics and order in a world built on blurred lines.

    Crowley doesn’t believe in second chances. He doesn’t believe in safety. But when a violent encounter leaves him unraveling, and the enigmatic CEO appears at his door—not with scorn, but with quiet fury and unexpected grace—Crowley is forced to confront everything he’s buried. His past. His pain. And the possibility that someone might actually see him—and stay.
