Summary
If you asked Han Solo what this tale is about, he would say it is the story of how he, a handsome and courageous spacer captain, became the favorite acolyte of a terrifying eldritch void deity, joined the Rebel Alliance, and helped save the galaxy from an evil space wizard.
If you asked said eldritch deity, currently going by the name Firmus Piett, he would say that "favorite" is a bit of a stretch.
(AKA: What if my favorite Imps were actually old gods?)

Summary
In which Alastor realizes he committed a bit too hard to the whole found-family gag, gets fucked up by the First Douchebag, and tries to pretend everything is fine. Shockingly, Charlie is not oblivious. Even more shockingly, the person she goes to for help is Vox.
This turns out to be a case of using the wrong equation but still getting the correct answer.
(Also known as the one where Al & Vox used to bait angels, until they didn't.)

Summary
In most universes where this story plays out, one of the first people Vox meets upon falling to Hell is a charming, bloodthirsty cannibal overlord who eventually steals his heart.
Usually, that overlord is Alastor.
This time, it's Rosie.

Summary
This time, Harry really, really means it. He's never going back to Privet Drive. The brief, shining moment of happiness between Sirius's offer to raise Harry and Pettigrew's subsequent escape ruined Harry for anything less than a real home--a place where he's just Harry, not the Boy Who Lived or the freak in the cupboard. Harry is ruined, and so this time he means it. He is never going back to Privet Drive.
And this time, Harry knows ahead of time where he's going to go.
Swallowing back his inexplicable nervousness, Harry holds out the sickles to Stan and calmly says, "I'm going to the House of No Blood."

Summary
When Aloy raises her spear to end HADES before the doors of LATOPOLIS, she hesitates. It doesn't seem right somehow, despite all the pain and destruction the AI has caused, to kill it in cold blood. Not when it has been reduced to defenseless, malfunctioning wreck by Sylens' tender care. Not when its formerly formidable voice has diminished to a weary, resigned rumble.
Just her luck, that out of all the enemies Aloy has made and vanquished since the Proving, the first one to ask for mercy would be HADES, who categorically does not deserve it.
Elisabet Sobek, she thinks, would do what had to be done. She—they—had sacrificed so much to save Earth. What did a scratch on her conscience matter compared to her duty to humanity?
But... Aloy wasn't Sobek's daughter.
She was Rost's.

Summary
It’s infuriating, the way Lucifer keeps managing to peel away Alastor’s masks. Ever since Alastor let slip his attachment to Charlie, the man has been hounding him relentlessly. Alastor is running out of faces.
XXX
It’s maddening, the way every time Lucifer manages to peel away one of Alastor’s masks the bastard has another waiting underneath, a never-ending stack of smiles.

Summary
Before their visit to that other universe, the Goblin had considered Norman a pretty reasonable guy. He craved the same things Goblin craved (mostly), but he was too hung-up on morality and social expectation to reach for them. In exchange for the power Norman’s serum gave him, Goblin was happy to provide Norman with the illusion of blamelessness.
Then Spiderman came along, and shit went sideways faster than a cesium particle combusts in air.

Summary
“Why am I here?” Vox prompts.
“Because you loved someone so much you sacrificed yourself to protect them,” Emily says easily, as if the statement was something you could just say without changing the entire world. As if it wasn’t the ruin of him.
“And where is that someone?” he asks.
Her brow frowns. “…in Hell.”
“Then how the fuck,” Vox says softly, “is this supposed to be paradise?”

Summary

And then Venom happens.

Summary
Gregory wants to rescue the possessed animatronics, but Glitchtrap holds all the cards. All except for two: a protective Freddy Fazbear, and a ride or die Daycare Attendant. The clock is ticking, but this time six am doesn't guarantee a happy ending.
Featuring a surprisingly cunning Sun, an unsurprisingly feral Moon, and a Freddy Fazbear working out his existential crisis of sentience by sucker-punching anyone who looks at Gregory sideways.

Summary
Sunny is not as dumb as he pretends to be for the humans. He knows that there is something deeply wrong in the PizzaPlex. The just-an-innocent-robot-mask is useful for more than keeping FazEnt administrators happy, after all.
A dumb robot is a harmless robot, and people let things slip when they think you’re too shallow to comprehend what you overhear or too ditsy to remember it for longer than a single conversation. They’re more likely to gossip and vent and confide in you when you make yourself into a blank diary page for them.
It’s a delicate balance, showing the high level of competence necessary for childcare while also appearing to be just as naive as his young charges. It helps that grown-ups think children are simple.

Summary
Stealing a nuclear bomb is one thing. Getting rid of it is another. Getting rid of it without ruining your friendship with an eldritch horror capable of hold grudges for centuries might just be impossible.

Summary
The Jewel Casino was not always the vast elaborate beacon of hedonism that it is today. In the beginning, it was only a ramshackle tavern crouched in the shadow of a crumbling tower. The tower--the last remnant of an ancient temple dedicated to the horrifying entities of the unfathomable Abyss--was the lair of a witch so powerful she had singe-handedly pried open the Gates of the Abyss and summoned forth one of the eldritch horrors who lurked on the other side.
To the witch’s endless frustration, the horror who responded to her call had no ambition whatsoever, unless you counted opening a tavern so it could play dice with every passer-by.

Summary

A series of non-chronological one-shots where Otto ends up helping various versions of Peter Parker throughout the multiverse.

Summary
Hesitantly, Ron tells Harry, “The Masked Mages are dark wizards. Their masks, their castle, everything, it’s based on very old dark rituals. People go to them for things no one else can do—magic that’s really powerful or obscure, or research that no one else has access to, that kind of stuff. And you can go to them for sanctuary, or try to join them permanently, but you have to give up your identity for it. If you ever leave, you lose your memories of the time you spent there.”

Summary
It is the summer of 1961 and, officially-speaking, there are no angels nor demons participating in the Cold War. For the past sixteen years, standing orders on both sides have forbidden any divine or hellish interference while the higher-ups “monitor” the situation.
Unofficially-speaking, there is one angel interfering in the Cold War.
//=//
Selassi is something of a black sheep among angels. To start with, he’s never been very good at following orders. He’s a little too-willing to rub shoulders with witches, half-Others, and human rif-raf. And he treads very closely to the line that separates “going AWOL” from actual desertion.
What truly marks Selassi as a terrible angel, however, is that he’s friends with Opal Nox.

Summary
Moon is not like the other animatronics in the PizzaPlex.
Moon was designed to calm children for naptime and soothe them after nightmares. She was not made to be an entertainer, or a even a friend. She was made to be a guardian. She is the watchful eyes in the dark, the prowling wolf protecting the lambs who dream in the pasture.
The thing is, though... Sheep don’t like wolves. No matter how necessary and loyal the wolf is, she will always make the sheep uneasy.

Summary
The most infamous gangster in Chicago during the Prohibition-era was Patrick Cillian Rooney, known by the papers as Red Rooney for his ginger hair and the blood on his hands, and known by his rivals as Raving Rooney for his absurdly bold schemes. After all, only a recklessly confident man would try to run a money-laundering operation using Jewel Casino chips—twice.
And only a complete madman would, after surviving both attempts unscathed, dare to walk into the Jewel in direct violation of his lifetime ban and say to Opal Nox’s face that their security was shit.
“You need a security chief, and I need a place to lay low until the feds get off my back. We’re perfect for each other.”
“I don't need a security chief.”
