    The Seven (A Sonic the Hedgehog Rock and Roll AU) by

    Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog - All Media Types

    Summary

    On October 10th, 1978, The Seven would play their final concert in front of 53,000 people. Off the release of their acclaimed, award-winning, and multi-platinum album "Selene", the band - consisting of vocalists Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose, guitarist Shadow the Hedgehog, bassist Silver the Hedgehog, violinist Rouge the Bat, keyboardist Blaze the Cat, and drummer Knuckles the Echidna would fall apart and collapse - all while being the biggest band in the world.

    Years later, the members of the band would finally go on record about what caused the fast downfall of the most famous rock band in the world - and what is discovered is a disastrous collapse of the band members relationships, full of love, betrayal, chaos, and addiction, that all starts with the forbidden love between jaded singers Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose.

    This is the story of the whirlwind rise and fall of iconic 1970s band the Seven, told by the members years later, as they attempt to piece together what is left of destroyed love, trauma, and the pain that has lasted with them for years and years.

    [THIS STORY IS HEAVILY INSPIRED BY BOTH FLEETWOOD MAC, AS WELL AS THE NOVEL “DAISY JONES AND THE SIX.”]

    Summary

    Quick Note About the Series!

    (These stories are not AI generated, I just like em-dashes!)

    This series is made up of multiple individual stories, not a long, continuous fic. While they’re all under one umbrella, most of them are standalone and not connected to each other unless specifically stated.

    Some fics are marked as “Part 1/2 of E-42/1610”, which means they’re directly related and should be read together. Otherwise, if there's no part number, they stand on their own!

    Each story is also tagged with the Earth it takes place on:

    E-42 or E-1610 = "Canon"-based universes

    These are sometimes split into A, B, C, or D timelines — again, not connected unless noted

    E-100/101 = No powers AU

    E-111 = Every spider-person has powers AU

    E-97/10 = Movie-based AU (Jurassic, HTTYD)

    Basically: check the Earth tag and description to get a feel for the setting and whether it connects to another fic or not. Hope that helps, and thank you for reading!

    Summary

    Perhaps Seungmin had a weakness for seemingly broken things. So, Seungmin said the words he had sworn to himself he would never utter to anyone.

    “I swear, I’ll get you out.”

    Jeongin gave him an up and down once again. He held out his hand and Seungmin hesitantly shook it back. The grip was strong.

    “What do I need to say?” Jeongin asked.

    Seungmin pulled his hand back and shook his hand slightly. Jeongin eyes went softer, round, and curious to see his next step. But the hair on the back of Seungmin’s neck rose again still, and he couldn’t help but feel like he’d made a deal with the devil.

    ***

    Defense lawyer Kim Seungmin lives with the mistakes of his past.

    Summary

    A (mostly) canon-compliant continuation of the series. It felt so unfinished (literally because it was) to the point where I have started writing fics. Anyways, the fic is a grittier, more realistic take on the story/ characters, begining from the end of episode 20 and beyond. I really wanted to explore Julie and Mike's relationship, and the reveal of her true connection to Kane.

    Summary

    Skyrim founders in the wake of a shattered empire, and there are those who would split it more—patriots, profiteers, and warmongers fresh out of jobs. With competing ambitions growing more costly to bear, some say the land is ripe for a hero. But who should it be? No one can agree.

    In the year 4E 201, it’s up to a band of misfits—a Blade without a Septim, a priestess without a temple, an outlander without a soul, and a sellsword without a choice—to stop the world from careening off its axis. The Wheel turns, but with souls serving as the favored currency between mortals and the planes, one gets caught in the spokes.

    THE SERAPHIM GENE-WAR: Chosen by blood, crowned by fire. by

    Fandoms: Jupiter Ascending (2015)  

    09 Jul 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    A serious, reimagined AU of Jupiter Ascending featuring political upheaval, sensual tension, post-colonial themes, and a central triad (Caine x Seraph x Stinger) rising against a dying empire.
    ---
    Seraph Luppiter Jones never expected to survive a state-sanctioned fire, much less be reborn as a royal recurrence in exile. Working under-the-table construction jobs by day and mopping floors at a fertility clinic by night, his life changes when a soldier-splice with haunted eyes mistakes him for the most dangerous woman ever to exist.

    But Seraph is no woman. He is the first male recurrence of Seraphi Abrasax — and his existence unravels the very laws the Entitled use to maintain genetic dominance.

    With splices enslaved, entire planets bled dry, and the bloodlines of the powerful drawing knives over inheritance, Seraph refuses to become a puppet monarch. Instead, he rises — forging an empire from the bones of rebellion.
    At his side are Caine Wise, a Skyjacker bred for violence and trained for loyalty, and Stinger Apini, a disillusioned soldier who once believed in nobility.

    He is not here to preserve the throne. He is here to burn it down.

    Summary

    It only took a few days for Wille to find his answers, and he learned that the boy was mostly telling the truth. He waited outside the small house, the morning chill nipping at his fingers, until the mother came out in scrubs. An hour or two later, the boy and his sister traipsed out of the house, clad in school uniforms and carrying backpacks. Hillerska kids, he quickly realized. They were far from the type. Wille concluded, then, that the boy and his sister must be exceptional in some way.

    Or: Wille has to settle a debt with Micke, and encounters his son instead.

    Summary

    Inspired by the Abominable Bride special but obviously AU. This is a full time-period piece. Expect it to be dark and gritty and very ACD (except for the smut, that's all me). Here is how I envision a Victorian origin story for Molly and Sherlock that utilizes some scenes/ideas from the special but is a fully immersive experience in that world. Murder, mystery, passion with always, always a great deal of angst.
