Summary
"Uh--what was that? What'd you just do to that guy?"
"Huh," the one with glasses says, squinting at him. "Weird. Must be from a family of Clear Sighteds. Mortals usually forget right away."
"Okay could someone please explain to me what just happened!" He means for it to be a question, but it comes out as a panicked exclamation instead.
"Don't worry about it," says the one with the spikey bat. "It's just your eyes playing tricks on you. Hey, we've gotta go, but--what's your name again?"
"Jake Peralta," he says on autopilot. Most of his brain is still occupied by the thirteen different levels of freaking out he's doing right now.
"Good to know. See you around, Peralta."
And then the kids just file out of the alley, like no big deal, nothing to see here.
Well. Now there is nothing to see here, if he's being technical. Nothing but an extremely freaked out NYPD detective who's now behind by a case in the bet.
Dammit.
(Or: Jake Peralta, confusedly helping the demigods of New York.)

Summary
"Well, you coming back saved my life, at least. So there's that."
Buffy pauses for a second to look at her, and that smile gets brighter and softer all at once in a way that makes Faith's stomach swim in interesting directions. "Hey, I hadn't thought of that."
"That's why you need me around, B," she teases instead of saying any one of the million things she wants to, "I'm the brains of this whole operation."
---
or: In between accidentally totally crushing on the cute new slayer, Faith plays (reluctant) therapist to the Scoobies. Somebody's gotta clean up this mess, after all.
(a companion piece from Faith's POV following my season 3 AU wherein everyone has more feelings about Buffy's time in LA, and it takes some time to sort them out.)

Summary
Riley has $17 in her pocket, a bunny-shaped nightlight, and the clothes on her back. She has the memory of her mother's shouting, her father's warnings.
She has, she's beginning to suspect, a whole lot more friends than either of them really stopped to consider.
(or: a fic based on what would have happened if Riley had stayed away during Girl Meets Her Monster.)

Summary
Buffy realizes pretty quickly that when you come back from the missing-slash-presumed-dead, no matter how many questions people ask, there are some things they don't want to hear about. Cordelia, strangely, serves as a source of comfort: their feet move in perfect time until the brunette girl turns abruptly to face her.
"You fucked up," Cordy says, matter of fact. She's not being kind, but she's not being cruel, either. She's just being Cordelia, which is strangely reassuring. "I don't know what you were going through, and to be honest, I don't think I want to, because it was probably really dark and scary and horrifying. But you shouldn't have left. The answer is never leaving."
~
A season 3 AU in which Buffy comes back from L.A. to strained relationships, Faith accidentally becomes the Scoobies' therapist, and everything goes a little better when characters can learn how to have healthy, open communication.
(Or: Dead Man's Party did not do justice to the amount of emotional aftermath from the season 2 finale/season 3 pilot, so I stretched those arguments and rebuilding trust out across most of season 3. And now Buffy's friends with Gunn. There, see? Better already.)

Summary
"Hello!" he crows, slamming his way into the vet's office with his foot, since his hands are already full of half a dozen crumbling books. "You, good sir, are going to tell me exactly what a Spark is and what the hell they can do, because if this is some Harry Potter shit I've already got the robes."
---
Stiles really didn't mean for all this to happen, promise. Scout's honor. It's just that one thing spiraled into another and before he knew it he was off at college, with long-distance shared custody of a mystical baby tree and a whole other life he could never quite bring himself to explain.
(or: my completely unnecessary attempt at writing a brief 5+1 filled with "Stiles keeps a secret from the pack" subtropes kind of spiraled. I was not expecting an almost 16K monstrosity to come out of this. Sadly, I think I was the only one not expecting that.)

Summary
A series which follows Buffy & co. during and after a season 3 AU in which, among other things: Faith doesn't go dark, the Scoobies learn how to have healthy, open communication, and the Summers household accidentally acquires a hellhound puppy. All titles come from The Killers' song "Deadlines and Commitments", which I listened to on repeat for several hours while first starting this project.

Summary
“Hey there, Parker. I’ve got some exciting news about your community service sentencing,” the bright voice from the other line says. "It looks like you've been reassigned."
“Oh, yeah?” Peter asks, warily. His social worker sounds excited, but he's been burned a few too many times to take any "good news" at face value.
Peter listens to her explain with a furrowed brow, and when the call is over, he opens the web browser on his cracked Android and quickly types the words september foundation into the search bar. His eyes narrow as he peruses the top result.
Oh, he is going to kill that Stark bastard.
-
All Peter Parker wants to do is fly under the radar. He wants to go to school, work off his sentence by picking up trash at the stupid park, and avoid going home for as long as possible each night. Unfortunately for him, Tony Stark has never been one to see untapped potential and not do something about it.

Summary
Zoey doesn’t know how long she stands there in the middle of her room, gawking at the notification flashing at her screen.
Well, notifications, plural. They’re back to back on her home screen, right under all her social media notifications of people showering her with likes for today’s breakfast.
Ryu Rumi sent you $250.00
“For lunch! Let me know if you need more xo”Kang Mira sent you $501.00
“lmk if she sent more than 500, I can double it lol”Zoey loudly declares, “What the HELL?”
Or, broke college student Zoey goes viral for her revolting college meals—and rich girls Rumi and Mira find a little pity (among other things) in their hearts for her.

Summary
“You’re really sick, Rhys.”
Rhys blinked up at Feyre. “Will you stay?”
“Me?”
“Mm.”
“What can I do?” She had no skills at healing, and she had never cared for anyone before, not like this. She wasn’t even doing a very good job of looking after herself these days, if she was being honest.
“Read to me?” he asked.
__When Rhys collapses during a reading lesson while Feyre is visiting the Night Court, Feyre finds herself looking after him.

Summary
In a slightly different world, Feyre's wedding to Tamlin went as it was intended to for at least a few hours longer before everything went very wrong.
An AU scenario.
"A mating bond is fate, a Cauldron granted gift. It is not something that we, not the Priestesses with all their magic and herb gardens nor High Lords nor resurrected mortals are able to change. You don’t get to force what the Cauldron has or has not willed."
