Summary
Somewhere out in the Outer Planes is a being of lock and key. Most of it, anyway. There is a small part of it on Earth, molded into a near-perfect imitation of the male human body and all its tiny flaws, if not for the subtle otherwordly glow of its pupils and the keyhole on its sternum. Asleep, as much as a mere construct could be.
For an inexplicable reason, its gaze is drawn to the keyhole in its chest as it continues its observation of itself, and a bout of curiosity takes hold of it; the same curiosity that compels it to study humanity, to allow itself to be hunted by a lesser, to act as a servant. It wonders, what if…
It reaches out to the keyhole—and turns the lock.
((a being and its adventures in the human world))

Summary
As much as they'd rather not admit to it, Ingo and Emmet are celebrities. The Gear Station Subway Bosses are known far and wide across Unova, and even to a few of the surrounding countries; thus, when one of them disappears...
It's a media madhouse.
And Emmet is the prime suspect.
(As with all my fics: there is a happy, hopeful ending after all the suffering I put poor Emmet through. )

Summary
“Hugo.” Lycaon doesn’t even have the decency to sound winded, although it means the frustration is all the more obvious in his voice. He stops several paces away, further than their usual preference, obviously wary of spooking Hugo into fleeing once more. “Stop fucking running.”
“I already stopped,” Hugo points out. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t even be able to catch my shadow.”
Lycaon’s eyes flash with ire, but after a moment, he backs down. When he speaks again, the previous hesitance is back. “Then… can we talk?”
“What’s there to talk about?” Hugo says. “Jack was very clear. He doesn’t trust me. And you obviously agree.”
“I do trust you—”
“Because your silence was so convincing.”
Lycaon opens his mouth, but no words emerge.
Hugo smiles. It feels overstretched on his lips, stiff and unnatural. “Like so,” he says softly, and takes a step backward.
(A canon divergence story set during Hugo and Lycaon's youth, in which Hugo overhears the entire conversation between Jack and Lycaon in that small attic.
Only this time, Lycaon realizes that Hugo was there, and that he heard everything).

Summary
Wriothesley, a simple baker, finds his life turned upside-down when a vampire attack drags him into the world of the night. Now turned, his hopes of seeing his family again are eternally crushed. As if that isn't enough, he's been forced to live with the guy who turned him, whose family may or may not be hiding from the myriad of people out to get them. One hunter in particular seems to pose a significant threat, but he can't be that bad.
After all, he's got a Cocogoat phone case.
Or: Wriothesley becomes a vampire. Turns out, "Twilight" lied.
Pain.
Brief, sharp.
Blooming in the side of his neck.
No, no, no no no no no–
“I’m sorry,” the vampire whispers.
Wriothesley doesn’t believe him.
