Summary
"I'm thinking this is some kind of afterlife," the shadow person muses, hands on his hips as he presumably looks around the room. "Or a dream? Weird one, though."
Scar stares for a moment, watching the dark edges of this persons body blur and sharpen at odd intervals. Finally, his shoulders slump, and he sighs, suddenly tired.
"Who are you?"
"Scar."
"I'm Scar."
The imposter hums consideringly. "Well, one of us has to be lying."
——————————————————
OR,
Scar, stuck in Secret Life after his win, begins to be haunted by the shadows of his past.Series

Summary
You are not strong in the Sight. To you, the supernatural has become the background noise of a mundane and lonely life. You have no interest in becoming involved with ghosts.
But they have every interest in you.
When your eccentric great uncle offers you a job fixing the ‘jewel’ of his collection—the original Fazco Daycare Attendant—you expect a challenge, sure. This was undoubtedly going to be the biggest project of your life. You expect pain, mistakes, and late nights aplenty, and you expect an excruciating learning curve.
You do not expect the other Daycare Attendants.
*
This is a story about love and memories, about secret things and ghosts.
How can you know what to live for when the world you were built for is gone?

Summary
She showed up at Kris’s door with her hood up and her tail twitching, smelling like smoke that wasn’t hers. She had one of her mother’s old flannels tied around her waist, the sleeves long and dragging. Kris didn’t ask. Just stepped aside.
Toriel, from the kitchen, poked her head out and said only: “Shoes off, dear. I just mopped.”
Like Susie belonged there.
Like she wasn’t a guest anymore.
Kris gave her the couch and curled up on Chariel. Susie protested, at first—“It’s your damn house, dude,” she said, “I can sleep on the floor, I’ve done it before”—but Kris was already half-buried in blankets and completely silent, which meant the conversation was over.
At some point, when the house had gone completely quiet and the shadows settled, Susie whispered:
“Hey.”
Kris shifted their head to look at her.
The moonlight caught her hair, the jagged edge of her teeth. Her eyes were clearer than they ever were at school. No posturing. No sneer. Just Susie. Bare and real in a borrowed T-shirt, her knees pulled up, her voice a rasp.

Enchanted (Taylor's Version) by TrenchcoatGecko

Summary
Shadow the Hedgehog never wanted much. All he wanted, really, was to spend his life with his grandfather and his sister, and make art he never planned to exhibit. But when Maria falls too ill to go to the summer solstice masquerade, she bids Shadow go in her stead. And when a handsome, masked stranger sweeps him off his feet, he is wholly unprepared for the fall.
And fall, he does.

I have a lot of largely negative opinions about Taylor Swift, but I felt the metaphor to be prudent. The original title was inspired by a Taylor Swift lyric, so this too will be a reference to her. Just like how Taylor took back what’s hers, I’m taking back what I feel never quite belonged to me.This is Wonderstruck (Gecko’s Version).

Summary
Working in delivery, Sonic jumped from town to town, never staying in one place for too long. There was much to be afraid of in this world. Of mobians who feared his kind and would kill them if discovered; hunters that sought his kind to make a profit off of in the guild; and his own kind, who fought each other over territory and prey.
As a nightwalker, Sonic lived his life in fear. That is until he is brought to a refuge for nightwalkers of all types to coexist peacefully, owned by a peculiar hedgehog he finds himself indebted to.

Summary
Series of one shots, exploring Astarion's mindset through his romance with GN Tav (gender and race undefined to the best of my ability).
"What was illogical, to him, was that Tav permitted it. Letting the vampire hold them tight, pinned with their back to his chest while he fed. Perhaps they had a bizarre vampire fetish - it certainly wouldn’t be the first time he’d encountered such. There was a soft trembling to their skin as he fed, barely parted lips in the dying firelight while the others slept.
But the few nights Astarion declined in a huff, they smiled and said they were glad he wasn’t hungry. A puzzling mystery that irked at him, staying on his mind in the hours between fights."

You didn't want a PleasureBot. You didn't need a PleasureBot. But here you were staring at a box from PleasureWorks (subsidiary of Fazbear Entertainment) and cursing your aunt. Just because you were alone doesn't mean you were unhappy. At least that's what you told yourself.
But when you open the package, you get a lot more than you bargained for. There's a long road ahead for the three of you...as long as you survive the first night.

Summary
Tango’s stomach dropped, a dread building in his chest that he hadn’t been expecting when he’d come home with iron and food for his soulmate. His eyes were locked on the shining golden apple sitting in Jimmy’s outstretched hand.
“...where’d you find that?” he breathed, tension straining the soulbond.
“Pearl,” Jimmy told him. His voice was calm, even, unfazed - as though it was just another normal day and he wasn’t holding the potential end of their bond in the palm of his hand. “She was saving it for herself, but when I asked for it, apparently she thought I needed it more.”OR: Tango comes home to find Jimmy holding a golden apple...but not everything is as it seems.

Summary
Jimmy sighed softly, adjusting his wings to take some pressure off an aching point near his spine.
He missed Tango, was the truth of it. He knew his soulmate was on the same server as him, not even that far away with how small the map felt this season, but it still felt too far. Especially after the lone, brief exchange they’d had earlier in the rush of the game–
Teasing and bickering across a small stretch of water, Joel killing the cow, Etho spinning the boat around to face him, Tango leaping across the water to get a better view. Then Jimmy had rushed forward, had elbowed Tango aside, had only realized his mistake when he caught Tango’s stumbled, half-wincing landing out of the corner of his eye. He had cast a sheepish smile back over his shoulder, tossed back an apology - “Sorry, rancher!” - and their eyes, however briefly, had met. Tango had grinned, had laughed, had looked almost proud, and then threatened his life with a smile and wink. Then Jimmy and Joel had fled, and Etho had watched them go, and then…
Jimmy withheld another sigh and sat up, rolling his shoulders and his head to dispel the crick in his neck. There was no way he could sleep like this.

Summary
It had been one year since Jimmy broke the magebond with his former witch and left the cottage behind.
One year since he was last able to perform a full familiar shift, his canary form beyond his reach.
One year since he joined the Southlands Coven at Grian’s invitation.
One week since a healing crystal experiment blew up the coven's keep.
One week since Grian and Martyn found out he couldn’t transform properly, and four days since they’d sent him off to attune.
One day since Jimmy had arrived in town, and half a day since he started his hike into the woods.
Half an hour since he’d attempted an attunement.
Ten minutes since a monster cornered him in a clearing.
Five minutes since a stranger saved his life.(Eleven months since Jimmy had spoken Scott’s name.)
OR: A misadventure in the woods leads to a night spent at a stranger’s campsite, an unexpected friendship, the swapping of life stories, a lesson in magic, and the beginning of something entirely unexpected...not necessarily in that order.

Summary
“You want me to do what?” the civilian asked disbelievingly, and Scar’s body language shifted to that of an impatient trainer, one whose fuse was running short. It was a precursor to bad things, like being tased or forced onto a treadmill for hours; Mumbo flinched even knowing it was an act, and the civilian cut off with a squeak, so Mumbo knew he felt the same way.
Or possibly that was the gun. Scar having a gun seemed more likely as an explanation, now that Mumbo thought of it.
Stealing the car would be better, but they had no idea where they were going, and neither of them was familiar with road laws. What if they hit a person while driving? What if there was some sort of kill switch in the car that the owner could flip to blow it up with them inside? Anti-villain tech had to be wild, from what the Foundation had on hand– and they were villains now for sure. Not just for defying the Foundation, but for this. Heroes didn’t take the actions he and Scar were taking.

Summary
When Grian was informed that he would be given a bodyguard for his journey to the Rift he was… well let’s just say displeased would be putting it mildly.
Unsurprisingly, nobody in his family would listen to his very reasonable objections.
“Grian, mate,” Mumbo had said exasperatedly in response to his complaints. “It’s not a personal insult to your abilities. It’s just a matter of national security, you know? Think of it like… extra insurance.”
“More like extra annoying insurance,” Grian had grumbled.
“Oi, stop being a pain,” Mumbo had said, grabbing Grian in a headlock and rustling his hair. “Besides, every bodyguard I’ve ever had has been quite boring. You probably won't even notice they’re there.”
Christ, Grian wished Mumbo had been right.
---------
Or: Scar has been hired to be Prince Grian's bodyguard for a year-long journey to study the Rift. Grian is not happy about it.
Grian quickly comes to realize that he needed Scar much more than he would have thought. It takes him much longer to realize that feeling is more than friendship.- Language:
