    Summary

    On the Going Merry, nothing ever stays simple—especially not between Roronoa Zoro and Sanji.

    What starts as the same old bickering between a directionless swordsman and a sharp-tongued cook slowly twists into something neither of them is willing to name. Beneath the insults, the kicks, and the constant competition lies a tension that refuses to be ignored—one that burns hotter with every battle fought side by side.

    Zoro doesn’t do feelings. Sanji doesn’t do him.

    And yet, stolen glances, late-night arguments, and unspoken loyalty begin to blur the lines between rivalry and something far more dangerous.

    Because on a ship full of chaos, maybe the most unpredictable thing isn’t the Grand Line— It’s whatever is growing between the 'mosshead' and the 'waiter'.

    Summary

    What would happen if Will Byers was never found during the events of Stranger Things season 1? How would he survive the upside down? How would the people of Hawkins react?

    Will breathed in a ragged breath. Black smoke poured from his mouth as he tore himself free from the wall. He collapsed forward, coughing and gasping on the cold, moist floor.
    His heart pounded in his ears as he shakily scrambled to his feet. Eyes darting around the abyss, he started to run. And he ran, and ran, and ran.
    His feet pounded on the ground when suddenly he found himself on a familiar path. Finally, something familiar. Will sprinted through the woods, as a feeling of hope filtered its way through the panic. He was getting there, he was gonna be safe, it was finally within reach.
    Castle Byers.
    The pain in his chest and legs screamed at him to rest, but he couldn't risk stopping. He pushed himself further, calves aching with each step. Suddenly, a loud screech echoed through the air from somewhere up ahead.
    Will skidded to a stop as the monster moved on the path ahead. It was in the way, standing between him and safety.

    Summary

    Number one rule for working the night shifts at the sketchy gas station in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere was to not look at them, and they would leave you alone. They weren’t even supposed to see you if you didn’t look at them - just flicker the lights, rattle some shelves, and inflict the fear of death into your bone marrow. 
     
    Then, one night, one of them with stupid eyebrows and a serious attitude problem chose to come in only to start yelling at Zoro, who had done literally nothing to deserve it.
     
    ** 
     
    OR: Zoro works at a gas station that gets creepy visitors at night. One of them is more annoying than the others.

    Summary

    Six months after the fall of the Netherbrain, Gale and Astarion have gone their separate ways. Astarion is coming to enjoy the simple things in life. For once, he’s murdering, threatening, and intimidating the right people, and earning a tidy amount of gold at the same time.

    In Waterdeep, Gale is working hard to find his place among the realm’s most prominent wizard academics, but can’t bring himself to publish a single paper.

    When Astarion’s sister Dalyria brings him stories of disappearing vampire spawn children, Astarion is forced back into close proximity with the Waterdhavian wizard he’s tried in vain to get over. Together, Astarion, Dal, and Gale find themselves facing a new threat in the Underdark, one that proves the most depraved schemes in Faerûn did not die with the Dead Three’s chosen.

    A story about figuring out who you are after trauma, what happens when you begin to heal, and how to rediscover yourself after turning down untold power.

    Summary

    It was Wyll who asked the question that had been hanging over the entire party.

    “How old are you, Gale?”
    --
    The orb not only drained Gale's magic, but also his life, making him look far older than his 23 years. With the orb removed and his youth restored, Gale tries to rediscover himself, and also cope with his crush on his vampiric former travelling companion.
