    Summary

    The boy was huddled in an old blanket that had once belonged to his cousin, Dudley, but he had outgrown it far too quickly (and not in the vertical sense), rendering it surplus to requirements. He was fighting back tears: from the pain, from the injustice, from the desperate desire for comfort from anyone at all. The door to his cupboard creaked open with a barely audible sound, and a tall woman stood before him. She was slightly shorter than Petunia, though not as gaunt as his aunt. Blinded by tears and his poor eyesight—which his relatives had point-blank refused to have corrected—the boy could barely make out the woman’s face, but she smelled of something bitter and fragrant, like proper herbal soap. The boy had once seen a photograph of a girl with curly hair in his aunt’s room and had privately decided, not daring to ask his relatives, that it was his mother. The woman before him had the same wild, bushy hair, though in the poor light, or rather the near total lack of it, he couldn’t make out its colour.

    “Are you my mum?” the child whispered, hiccupping with the force of his emotions.

    “Yes,” the woman whispered back, in the same tone. She held out her hand, and the boy grabbed it without a second thought.

    Summary

    "Gramps died in the suit before I was born. Dad died fighting Shroud then a little after I took over. The family tradition if there is one is dying in the suit."

    Words said by a drunken Roberta Robertson as she talked to Blonde Blazer about her origin. But what if she doesn't want to get back in the suit. What if she decides to do other things to help people to avoid that tradition. She doesn't need to go out like her father and grandfather before her and Blazer just gave her the golden ticket out of that possible fate. At least that's what she's banking on.

    Summary

    Manju is nominated for a pageant that he originally thought he’d be ok with, only to slowly become sick of it. The competition is rigged, and Manju finds himself thinking if he’s a part of why it is, and if he’s even worthy to be nominated for the pageant in the first place, nominated as “husband material”.

    Husband of the year fic which follows after my Ms. Earthbread fic. It’s not needed to read the first part, but there are some parts where you might need its context

    Everything’s changed. They aren’t kids anymore, they never got the chance to be. He isn’t a teenager anymore, not a normal one anyway. One that goes to college and doesn’t adopt seven kids because of some stupid government shit that got out of their hands and was left to be dealt with by twelve-year-olds, dragging him along with Nancy Wheeler, ex-girlfriend and first love, and, the biggest surprise, Jonathan Byers, the one that knocked him out of himself and gave him a fucking concussion.

    He’s seen monsters, he even fought them, and he’s seen his father furious because he didn’t want to go to college. Sue him, by the time he was supposed to be graduating and heading off to college he fought two times with the Upside Down. He fought Billy Hargrove and was scared shitless but he wanted to get near two of his kids, one of them Hargrove’s step-sister. Hell, he even got stuck with Russians and thought he was going to die down there. However, he’s never felt this type of scared, an almost there body on his lap, holding on for dear life because he can’t lose. Not this, not after everything he’s gone through to keep him safe.

    Summary

    "If I were to take a wife it would be her who I take to my bed, her who I would sit by in court, no others.” Jon looked up sheepishly, the tips of his ears still red. “I believe I would be hard pressed to find a lady wife considering my standing, so if I were to find one, I would count myself among the luckiest of men.”

    Something in her chest fluttered and Myrcella realized it was her heart, a warmth she had not known before rising to her cheeks. For a moment the moonlight bathed Jon in an ethereal glow, snowflakes dusting his form, making him look much like the prince from her stories. “I see.”

     

    A world in which Myrcella takes an interest in Jon during the royal visit to Winterfell, setting both their lives on a very different path.

    Summary

    Once the both of you reach the library Cato pushes you inside and closes the door behind him. You spin around to look at him, a thousand questions spinning around in your head. “What is all this?” You point between you and him.

    Cato sighs and twists his mouth. “Your parents offered me your hand in marriage,” he cuts it short.

    Your eyes widen and your jaw falls slack. “Excuse me? Have I heard that correct–”

    “You have,” Cato says. “They offered and…I said yes.” He slowly walks closer to you while you start to shake your head. This couldn’t–this couldn’t be true. Why would your parents do something like that? “I know it’s a shock,” his voice is calm as he talks to you and you raise your hand to signal him to stop.

    or, you’re in an arranged marriage with cato hadley after he wins the 74th hunger games

    Summary

    “Ah.”
    That’s the only response that came from his mouth when faced with what could only have been the most awkward situation he’d ever encountered in his life.

    Earlier:
    “You really do need to get out more often,” his sister commented. “You look like you’re gonna grow mushrooms at this point.” Her tone was loving, but also incredibly stern.
    “I’m tired though.” He pulled his blanket over his head and continued reading the fanfics he had become obsessed with. “I don’t wanna deal with humans right now.”

    Also known as that one fic where Mydei is a Hikikomori and is still caught off guard by something the absurdly embarrassing actions of a very, very handsome fool who demanded to meet his Number One Fan!
    I don't give a shit about canon here, sorry. Enjoy whatever the fuck this is.
    This story will take you to a lot of strange places.
    Family secrets, long-covered lies, skeletons hiding in plain sight,
    All the while two men figure out how to navigate their lives as two incredibly awkward adults.

    Body horror is... not the kind you'd expect but is also CW'd.
    Main relationship is Mydei & Phainon, but Aglaea/Anaxa/Cipher is also important
