    Summary

    “There are better ways to go about this if I wish to speak to someone anonymously,” Gale points out. Shadowheart shrugs, winking at him.

    “Sure, but this is possibly the most satisfying one,” she says, and fine, Gale can’t argue with that. But still. Such conversations are surface level at best, and transactional at worst. Besides, it’s not in his nature to consume live internet pornography. He has no desire to share such an intimate act with a complete stranger.

    “I would really rather see a therapist,” he says.

    Fresh out of a messy divorce, disgraced academic Gale Dekarios finds himself biting off more than he can chew when a seemingly innocuous encounter with an enigmatic camboy, Star, leads him down a precarious path of lies, liberation and eventually—love.

    Summary

    After Xavier’s assassination, the X-Men expected Scott to get custody of them. It turns out Xavier left everything, including guardianship of his students, to an ex-husband his students didn’t even know he had. Now, they must learn to live with this new person while also hiding their mutant powers.

    Magneto visits New York to grieve his late ex-husband. A mutate lawyer tracks him down and tells him he has to take care of a gaggle of recently orphaned children. Magneto tries his best to rise to the occasion without revealing he is the leader of the mutant nation Genosha and internationally known as a terrorist.

    Or, stepdad Magneto adoption AU!

    Updated in arcs incrementally so the fic will never feel abandoned/unfinished. Currently on hiatus until the next arc is written.

    Summary

    The bond between magical folk and their familiars is as old as the ancestors, as sacred as magic itself, and unbreakable by any means.

    Chloe uses her Summer vacation to venture into the woods in hopes of meeting her new best friend forever: her familiar. Other witches of her generation may be uninterested in nature magic, but Chloe's affinity for it only bolsters her belief that she was meant to meet her familiar in the forest.

    Blinded by destiny, Chloe performs the familiar bonding spell on an injured wolf that stumbles across her cabin. Except, as fate would have it, it's no ordinary wolf.

    Summary

    “Tommy, close your eyes,” Technoblade commanded.
    “Why-”
    “Do it,” he said firmly. His knuckles turned white from how hard he was gripping the iron bars, “Fenik,” he said, and the iron tore apart in front of him, the shackles on his wrists shattered and fell to the ground.
    The guard stumbled back, “Don’t come any closer or I’ll-”
    Techno didn’t let him finish the thought, “Kh’ek.”
    The guard’s body crumpled, his bones shattering out of his skin. Blood erupted from the guard, spraying all across the hallway and cell.
    “Alright,” he said, turning around, “It’s over. You can open your-”
    Tommy was staring at him with wide, very haunted, very open, eyes. A drop of blood from the spray rolled down his cheek, “What the fuck was that?” he choked out.

    ---

    In a world of gods and magic, everything has a true Name. A Name was the sound of a soul, the fabric of being. If you knew something’s Name, you held complete power over it.
    Technoblade is the greatest Namer to ever live, rumored to know the Names of everything in the world. Everything of course, but his own.

    Summary

    There was a loud knocking on the door. All three children were crying for their own reasons and Soap felt as if he’d lose his mind at any moment. It was so overwhelming. Somehow, war felt easier than this. “Leah, give your brother back his toy,” He commands softly, picking up Sophie from her rocker.

    Leah yells out, “But I want it!”

    “Yes,” Soap says, making his way to the door, “I understand but you snatched it from his hands. You have plenty of other toys you can play with.”

    “No! I want this one.”

    Alec sobs louder and Soaps head feels like it’s about to explode. Sophie needs to get fed, he’s aware. But right now so much is going on. How the hell did his sister do this?

    “Leah-“ He’s cut off as he trips over a Lego set. He starts hopping on one foot, just inches from the door and has to bite his lips to stop himself from cursing. Sophie screams at the top of her lungs.

    “I know,” He coos, “I’m sorry. I’ll get you fed in a moment.”

    He adjusts her and throws open the door. On the other side is the last person he’d ever expect to see.

    Or

    Soaps sister dies and leaves him her children. Ghost can’t return to work. he shows up on his doorstep, looking for a place to stay.
