Summary
Neil has four younger siblings who are all as feral and unhinged as he is.
Nathaniel Wesninski is dead. Or at least that's what the world was supposed to believe.
The eldest son of a cult leader in the woods of Northern Wisconsin, Neil escaped a life of fire, silence, and ritualized abuse by smuggling his four younger siblings to freedom and then disappearing. Years later, he resurfaces on the Foxes' Exy court under a stolen name, still running, still watching the shadows, still branded by the past he swore he'd never speak aloud.
This is not the story of a boy with no future. This is the story of five red-headed siblings, one found family, and the price of staying. -

What started as an innocent trip to visit a friend slowly becomes something messier.

Summary
On the eve of another doomed expedition, Levi finds himself unable to hide the pain that’s always kept him sharp. In the shadows of the forest and the aftermath of bloodshed, Erwin pushes past Levi’s defences—not to break him, but to offer a mercy Levi never learned to want. Pain and comfort blur at the edges, old wounds are bared, and something wordless passes between commander and captain as they learn, in stolen moments, to be seen and held. Canonverse. Hurt/comfort, explicit intimacy, and the language of care between battle-hardened men.

Summary
An outlaw love story with bite.
Cassidy “Copper” Lane doesn’t do trust, not after what the world’s taken from her. She rides solo, shoots straight, and keeps her scars where everyone can see them—so no one dares get close.
Then Arthur Morgan shows up. Van der Linde gang enforcer. Too serious. Too smart. And way too good at peeling back the walls she spent years building.
Thrown together by bad luck and worse timing, Cassidy and Arthur navigate bullets, bounty hunters, and betrayal on the fading edge of the Wild West. She’s got a sharp tongue. He’s got a quiet kind of storm. Together, they’re either the perfect disaster or the last chance either of them has at redemption.
Witty, brutal, and full of heart, The Last Draw is a gritty western romance where survival means keeping your gun loaded—and maybe, just maybe, letting someone in.

Summary
When Lucy moves in with Tim, it leaves one open room— and a mess of awkward logistics for Celina Juarez. Enter Miles, fresh off the worst roommate situation of his life (thanks, Smitty), who’s more than happy to escape to a place with four actual walls and significantly less van-related drama.
What starts as a temporary fix quickly turns into something else: shared midnight snacks, casual movie nights that get too personal, and a tension neither of them are quite ready to name. Celina’s still got one foot in something complicated with Rodge, and Miles — Miles is trying not to fall for someone who already said she wasn’t looking.
But emotions don’t follow rules. Not in the chaos of late-night confessions, city rooftop views, and all the quiet in-between moments that sneak up on you.
A slow-burn, post-Season 7 roommates-to-lovers fic about timing, trust, and finding something real in the middle of the unexpected.
They didn’t plan for this. But maybe it was meant to happen all along.

Summary
In the blazing heart of Levanter, a volcanic kingdom known for its ruthless warriors and iron-clad ways, Commander Hyunjin is ordered to marry the one thing he despises most: an elf.
Prince Felix of Felora is everything Hyunjin loathes—graceful, gentle, and glowing with a beauty that draws stares and murmurs of envy. Felix never imagined his escape from the crown would lead to marriage with a brazen, combative brute in a kingdom that feels so foreign and hostile.
Their union is meant to seal peace between ancient enemies, but what begins as fiery disdain melts into something more volatile. Between political games, forbidden secrets, and clashing cultures, the two must navigate a marriage built on obligation all while trying not to destroy each other—or worse.
Meanwhile, Felix’s witty advisor and closest friend, Jisung, draws unexpected attention from Levanter’s enigmatic king, Minho.

Summary
Mark was now the leader.
Something he had always longed for: to have his own planet, to give orders, to be the strongest, to expand the Viltrumite Empire, to serve his race as a true warrior.
But what no one told him—what no one warned him—was how utterly boring it could be.There were no conquests, no glorious battles, no blood.
Just paperwork. After paperwork. After more paperwork.
Reading progress reports, sending interplanetary messages, checking on the loyalty of puppet human leaders, signing off on resource authorizations. Even the punishment of rebels was delegated to low-ranking soldiers.He hadn’t been officially appointed yet. He was in a “trial week,” as the Viltrumite council called it—to see how he would handle leadership over a conquered planet.
A week of lies and silent submission.It was unbearable.

Between the sheets, their conversations were sparse and meaningless, their silences loud and heavy. There were things neither dared to admit, truths they left unnamed. But they sometimes surfaced, and stabbed them like a dagger.

With the unexpected return of the laptop into the Dreemurr household, Spamton is left to work through repressed emotions, maintaining his job so he can pull himself out of the dump, and grappling with the sudden onset of prophetic dreams.

Summary
Their Angel is a dark, emotionally charged story set in Hell, focusing on Angel Dust’s abuse at the hands of Valentino and the unexpected connection he forms with Vox. When Valentino summons Angel to his office, their encounter spirals into cruelty and violence — a brutal display of power where Angel’s soul contract serves as both a weapon and reminder of his enslavement. Valentino’s sadism leaves Angel humiliated and broken, both physically and emotionally.
Together, Vox and Alastor form two halves of Angel’s reflection: Vox represents the torment of someone trapped within power and guilt, while Alastor embodies the rare flicker of empathy that survives even in Hell. Both men are drawn to Angel’s vulnerability, and through their reactions to it, the story exposes the complex spectrum between cruelty and compassion — showing that even in a world built on sin, the capacity to care can still break through the static.

Summary
Lip Gallagher’s got the smirk, the attitude, and the South Side grit down to an art. Athena Milkovich’s got the brains, the bite, and the kind of presence that makes him pay attention whether he wants to or not.
The banter’s quick. The chemistry’s quicker. What starts as irritation turns into banter, quiet challenges, and too many shared cigarettes.
What Lip doesn’t know at first — and what Athena’s not rushing to tell him — is that she’s Mickey’s little sister. And when a Gallagher and a Milkovich cross paths, trouble’s a guarantee.
Between the sharp looks, stolen smokes, and that unspoken pull neither of them can shake, they’re playing a dangerous game.
And in the South Side, games like this never end clean.
Meanwhile, Gallavich is still out there proving why.
(It would be a crime to write a Shameless fic without them.)
