Summary
After saving all of Outcast kind in her first year at Nevermore, Wednesday is pretty sure she's in for a fairly boring school year. Knowing she can't top a racist demon on a genocidal rampage, she'll settle for good grades and getting her novel published... if anyone can finally scrounge up the taste to realize her work for the piece of art that it is.
Unfortunately, this isn't a world that allows for Wednesday's plans to go as they do in her head. This is a world where you almost die once a week to get a monster into a cage, only for no cage to be able to hold him. A world where the boy you were just starting to have feelings for is revealed to be a murderer, and yet still manages to end up next to you in class, a stupid smile on his face, like all of the death threats and manipulation of the previous year didn't happen at all.
Apparently anything can happen at Nevermore, even Tyler Galpin attending as an official Outcast, new Master in tow in the form of a green haired girl who rarely speaks.
Wednesday would have preferred another go at bleeding out on the floor of Crackstone's Crypt. At least it was peaceful as her life flashed before her eyes. At least she'd known what to expect.

Summary
Four worlds collide when Merida and Rapunzel go too far into the woods one year for Festival and Rapunzel goes missing. Now Merida will go to any and all lengths to find her best friend, even twelve years later. Even if it means getting married to people she doesn't know and doesn't love. Even if it means strutting right into enemy territory and risking everything, including her own life. Because Rapunzel is worth it. What she doesn't know is that Rapunzel is actually tucked safely in the forest, in a tower, her only friends a chameleon and a winter spirit with striking blue eyes and a shock of white hair. She's the only one who can see him after reading a story of Jack Frost and making him her imaginary friend since he seemed so fun. Drawn by her belief in him, Jack ends up in a tower with a cooped up blonde girl who's terrified of the world, but craves it no less. And then there's Hiccup, and honestly, life is hard enough with the war between his dragons and his people. Now there's this spit fire red head accusing him of kidnapping her best friend.
And that's only the beginning.

Summary
Reggie didn't have a lot to hold onto in childhood, but he did have soulmates. People were terrible about soulmates and said a lot of terrible stuff about it, but he had been raised by his parents who were the kind of people who had rejected soulmates and were proud of it... and now they never stopped yelling. During nights they were so loud he couldn't sleep, he held onto the idea that one day he could have something better. Even if he doesn't really believe he'll ever find his.
And then the guy he's been in love with for years gets a boyfriend, and everything goes down hill from here. What do you do from there when all you can do is make mistakes. Does EVERYONE really deserve a second chance?

Summary
Luke grew up clinging to the idea of soulmates. Thinking they were something magical and amazing - despite what everyone around him said. I mean, the world got plenty of things wrong, like being gay. Alex was gay and he was great! So obviously this is like that. Soulmates are a GOOD thing and he can't wait to find his.
And then he does.
Things will never be the same again, but at the end of the day, there's really only one question that matters: Do people really deserve a second chance?

Summary
"Oh my God," The Detective's face lit with gleeful malice, "You're really concerned about this. Is it because even Connor has a girlfriend?"
Nines disconnected his facial expression before his (deviant) feelings revealed anything to his infuriating partner as his processor raced through dozens of retorts. Of course, he was concerned. It was stated right there in the email… This was a large-scale social event, which he had already indicated would be his first… Why should he have been expected to know the ridiculous social customs of humans… What did Reed mean by 'even Connor'… Why should it affect him if Connor is dating that technician… No, he was not inferior—he was the newest…
And Reed was just staring expectantly at him, growing more amused by the second. Nines wanted, no needed, him to stop.
"I only ask because I am not certain my significant other would be interested in such an event."
The detective froze, eyes wide — a blessing since Nines had a similar reaction, internally preconstructing how to fake a system update right now and get out of this conversation. What had he done?

Summary
Jughead’s breath caught in his throat, panic squeezing tight around his chest as his heart was battered against his ribs by his own hammering pulse. He cried for mercy, pleaded, begged, explicitly revoked consent he had never given in the first place, dammit, but no reprieve would come. The hatch clanged shut with grim finality, sealing Jughead in the bunker with his own gathering demons.
Or
I’m writing a different version of a scene that upset the shit out of me for reasons.
(Can be read as a coda to previous work in series or can stand alone.)
(Work contains spoilers/references/fix-it for season 5 episode 10.)
