Summary
Silence. Hungry, carnivorous—or maybe cavernous, vast and lined with teeth, ready to bite. The quiet before the storm, the gasped breath in before the heart stops. Tragedy tastes bitter. Blood tastes like pennies. Both are in the air, promises coating the tongue. Something bad is about to happen.
From beneath the bed, something reaches out—a mass of darkness, a shapeless nothing—and it grabs Mike by the wrist, yanks him forward. Mike chokes on a yelp and flails his arm free, blood dripping from where the shadows grabbed him, like the touch of darkness has split him open. He tries to scramble away, unfolds his legs to kick himself back but only makes himself easier, more vulnerable. The unidentifiable mass encircles Mike's ankle, and he screams something agonized, terrified—and then it pulls Mike, clawing at the carpet with his bloodied fingers, under the bed.
This time, the silence isn't hungry. It's satisfied.

will starts entering the mindscape in his dreams the night mike goes missing. secrets are fickle things and feelings are complicated, but one thing is sure: the party will not rest until their paladin is safe.

Summary
Did you truly believe I regarded you as a genuine threat?" The voice slithers, a cruel caress that tightens around Nya's heart. Has Ninjago, has Sensei Wu overestimated her, or worse, are her friends as predictable as the tides?
He revels in her torment, savoring her fear like a rare vintage. The truth hits Nya with the force of a poisoned blade: she's more vulnerable than she ever dared to believe. Losing Jay or her family was a fear she knew, but this? This is a new abyss, ready to swallow everything whole, threatening to twist her into a reflection she won't recognize.
Set in the aftermath of the Hands of Time, with Sensei Wu gone, the ninja find themselves adrift, unaware of the darkness coiling around Nya. As shadows rise, they face not only a formidable enemy but the chilling prospect of losing one of their own to the encroaching darkness.
Can they pull her back from the edge, or will darkness consume Nya, shattering the team from within?

Summary
James Costa lives the life of a pirate. Things are about as well as they could be while trapped in the open sea with obnoxious crewmates, the captain being manipulated by his right hand man and lover, and unpredictable weather. So, conditions aren't that good, but hey; at least there's riches involved! There were only a few more days until they reached home, and the chances of something happening were slim.
Slim, but never zero.
Mermaids weren't supposed to be real, and James wasn't supposed to be assigned the task of keeping one alive until they reached the shore. His real problem? Getting to know the being caught in a fishing net, and what came with it.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Aiden Brooks is a mermaid; one of the most recognizable creatures from mythology. He was supposed to live a safe life away from the surface or shoreline.Things don't always go as planned.
A curious mistake finds Aiden trapped in a strange contraption he didn't know the name of, with a smug human watching over him. Reciprocating the stranger's efforts to get to know him would be a mistake; Aiden had a habit of making those.

Hi everyone,
This is another original work by me, that I just want to write for funsies.Nathaniel Rhodes is a marine biologist studying jellyfish at the St. Marlowe Institute of Oceanic Sciences.
The ocean is a scientific thing--currents can be studied, patterns can be learned. There is no such thing as fictional, magical creatures under the waves of New England. That is--until Nate nearly drowns.Or: A human falls in love with a merman.
I'll try to update weekly!

So…this was his fate?
Shi Qingxuan laughed bitterly as the last bits of oxygen were used up. How pathetic, but a fate truly befitting a thief and a beggar. He closed his eyes in acceptance…
Only to snap them open again as he felt a cold pair of lips against his.

Until a freak storm breaks the narrative.

Summary
You were gone.
You, his finest civil servant, who he trusted implicitly to manage his most complicated projects. His best educated staff member, his highly skilled steward, who kept his assets and properties running smoothly. His most valued household asset.
His…
His secret, unrequited love for seven melancholy years- a woman who was his match in body, mind, and Soul, yet would never feel the same way about him. One who felt herself firmly ‘beneath’ him in that comfortable, implacable human way. You had vanished into thin air, with every evidence of a terrible accident.
It was driving him fucking insane.

Summary
Qui-Gon had first taught him the kata when his braid was little more than a tuft of hair behind his ear, and the sharp gleam of wonder and excitement still shone fresh in his eyes, not yet softened by the familiarity and security of the routines that came with long apprenticeship. Obi-Wan stood on the floor of the training hall, mirroring his Master’s position, and trying not to bounce on his toes as the energy rippling inside him sought a path of escape.
Wisdom passed down from Master to Padawan, with musings on the wind, earth, water, fire, life, and the Force. A story told in seven parts.

Summary
He preferred drowning to this, honestly. At least drowning was muffled, distanced from the life above, unlike the feeling of rawness, of sterility that came with fluorescent lights and clacking heels and keyboard clicking, the scent of perfume with every person that passed by, the talking and talking and talking and—
“Are you okay?”
He wanted to ram his head into a wall.
“‘M fine,”

Summary
Alistair Theirin never wanted to be king, but he wasn’t exactly able to say no when Sereda Aeducan won the Landsmeet in his favor. Then she died slaying the archdemon, leaving him to run a country with no idea how that was supposed to work. So far it feels like he’s mostly made a lot of educated guesses and leaned heavily on his regent, but Eamon’s latest scheme involves a marriage contract and it might be the craziest thing Alistair has ever, however reluctantly, agreed to. Or maybe it will turn out to be the best.
Nalissa Cousland barely escaped the sacking of Highever with her life, and after months trying to destabilize Howe’s hold on her people, spent the rest of the Blight as a prisoner of war in Fort Drakon. She still hasn’t come to terms with the scars on her body or the ones in her mind and she doesn’t know that she ever will. But when she receives a proposition from the one man in Ferelden more powerful than her brother, she may have little choice but to bury her rage and hope she can deflect enough until then.
First person POV, alternating between Alistair and Nalissa. Arranged marriage AU, canon if you squint. Rating for language, PTSD symptoms, violence, NSFW content. Mind the tags!
