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
Five (and a half) times Cliopher doesn't notice getting propositioned at the Jubilee, plus one time he does (and one time he does the propositioning).
response to a kinkmeme prompt: If Fitzroy decides to keep his name and fanoaship quiet during the Jubilee, he runs the risk of people finding out he and Kip aren't married yet and taking what they think is their last chance to shoot their shot with Kip. Bonus points if all the courtly euphemistic proposals continue to fly right over Kip's head but Fitzroy perceives every one and is Not Pleased.

Summary
“I could be like Tracy Turnblad,” Peter says thoughtfully, “from Hairspray.”
“Hairspray?” Mr. Stark’s face twitches like he’s trying really hard to hold in a sneeze. Or maybe a deluge of sarcastic comments. “I thought you were studying really old—” Mr. Stark makes little air quotes with his index and middle fingers “— sci-fi movies to maintain your precocious teenage-vigilante aesthetic. What, you diversifying into old rom-com musicals now, Pete?”
“Hairspray isn’t that old, Mr. Stark,” Peter says, “I mean, Zefron was in it.”
“Zef— You mean Zac Efron? Kid, that’s—,” Mr. Stark shakes his head, lifts his hands as if he can ward off Peter’s words with his palms, stands up, and makes to leave the lounge. “You— Alright, movie night’s over. Get out of my house.”
Peter has a twenty-three step plan to reunite the Avengers. This plan is brought to you by the 2007 musical movie Hairspray.

Summary
When Steve nearly runs over Will Byers on that fateful night in 1983, he doesn’t expect offering him a ride home would result in both of them being hunted into another dimension. Surviving there is hard. Adapting to normal life again is even harder. His old self settles like an ill-fitting suit, and there’s no room for nightmares and fear and his new bond with Will in it. As he struggles to find a new normal he can live with, Steve finds himself befriending a bunch of kids and maybe (definitely) falling in love with a local weed dealer.

Summary
"If you had asked Riz two hours ago what his plans for postgrad were, this would’ve never made the list. But since Jawbone said the words, Riz can’t get it out of his head. The image of the two of them, best friends, traveling far and wide, licking their wounds in seedy motels, nothing but the skin of their teeth and the rumble of a motorcycle engine. “I mean, think about it,” Riz says, which is exactly what Jawbone told them to do. His voice comes out soft and delicate, like a ceramic figure that can be easily broken. He doesn’t like it. “Think about it. Can you really imagine yourself doing anything else?”'
or
Fabian and Riz take up the mantle of traditional adventuring, just with the added benefit of the internal combustion engine.
