Summary
The sound of waves gently hitting against the beach and the smell of eggs cooking was what woke you from your sleep. Your eyes attempted to open but immediately slammed shut due to the brightness of the room. A grunt escaped your lips as you raised your hand to shield your eyes before opening them again. You groaned, slowly opening your eyes as you attempted to adjust them to the sunlight in the room. Your eyes widened as you sat up quickly, alarm shooting through you. Instantly, you were hit with a shooting pain going down your front, forcing you to fall back against the bedding. Your head swam as you attempted to remember what happened and how you got here. You remembered being in the training grounds, sparring with a few of your husband’s men when the sky suddenly turned dark. You remember running through the streets, frantically trying to find anyone that you could help try to escape. You also remember seeing him. Morax had been there. Morax had destroyed your new home.
Or: I suck at summaries. You are one of the remaining dragons and wash up on beach in Fontaine. Neuvillette finds you and your past comes back to haunt you.
Updates on Fridays!

Summary
"You're kind. That's a rare quality to have in this world. And it's the best thing about you."
The words that were once meant as a compliment now remind you every day that you are not fit for this world.
This world preys on the weak. The kind.
It's a miracle you've made it this far."Stay on the move. Avoid crowds. Boil and filter every drop of water. Pack light. Never eat a white mushroom."
A survivor crosses paths with a silent man in the ruins of the world. She wasn’t looking for company, but having someone to travel with can’t hurt, right? Besides, they’re heading in the same direction, and it’s only temporary.
But something about the man haunts our protagonist. What kind of hell did he crawl out of? What is his damage?
And why won't he speak?Series

Summary
You spent a long time trying to find a place where you would belong in the world for most of your younger years. Being constantly haunted by your past, surviving, and trying to find a reason to get up everyday has taken a toll on you. Not to mention the drama fallout that left your family in splinters and your relationships strained. It all became too much and you just needed to get away from everything for a little while.
Fortunately, you just happened to land a position as a "defender" at a popular establishment that caters primarily to educating and entertaining children and families. Not exactly a place you would find yourself in willingly otherwise--given your history and appearance.
However, You never knew that you would eventually find what you were missing at a place like Gardenview Educational Center and Museum.
You will find yourself fighting tooth and nail to gain what you have been missing in your life, no matter the cost. Maybe you will even uncover why your bosses are so suspicious and why there appears to be a large population of monsters dwelling underneath the surface of Gardenview's family-friendly appearance...

Summary
Soon after coming out as a gay trans guy, 13 year old [M/N] [L/N] is sent off by his parents (out of "concern for his safety") to temporarily stay with an old friend of a mysterious family member that his relatives strangely refused to discuss. The bus ride from [Y/T], Tennessee to Gravity Falls, Oregon is a long one, but it becomes worth it after befriending the kids he has to live with and starting anew as himself. Past issues still haunt his brain but he'll be able to heal with the help of his new friends. Hopefully.
AKA, an x Reader fic where the reader is related to Fiddleford "Old Man" McGucket and nobody in Gravity Falls knows (for sure) except for Stan for a while. :]

Summary
You were supposed to be a myth.
The last of a lost race with wings that once bent magic to their will. Your kind vanished from the realms generations ago, but you were hidden away by monks, sheltered within the walls of an ancient monastery. You were taught to fly when no one was watching and warned never to be seen.
But secrets don’t survive in realms ruled by monsters. Quan Chi discovered you. He tore you from your sanctuary, ripped the wings from your back, and left you in a cell with nothing but blood in your mouth and pain in your bones. The weight of everything you’ve lost pressed down harder than the stone floor beneath you.
That’s where the Lin Kuei find you. Sent by Fire God to retrieve what’s left of you, Bi-Han, Kuai Liang, and Tomas expected a mission. It should have been simple — get in, get out, don’t get attached.
None were ready for what caring would demand. But when faced with a storm, they don’t run, they stand and fight.
Title and work inspired by the “Ryan Louder & Ashley Serena-In Your Arms” song

Summary
I hate men.
Persistent and annoying vermin of the earth- they just never seemed to know when to shut up. A small voice from the corner of your mind objected, feebly reminding you that, hey, some of them are okay, but your rage quickly vanquished the thought. Two whole days of being cut off by pickup trucks, Subarus, and the like all occupied by gross, hairy old men with their idiotic hats had worn you down and this sleazy motel owner had been the straw to break the camel’s back.
You huffed in frustration, bunching up the rough comforter in your hands, freezing as a hint of smoke wafted into your nostrils. Your blood blazed with panic, and you scrambled out of the bed, eyeing the singed silhouette of your body, outlined with flames that were quickly growing.
Well, shit.
-_-_-_-
I have been writing this fic in my head for years upon years. In all honesty, this is a self-insert maladaptive daydream turned reader insert. This fic is canon-compliant and follows the overall plot of the MCU, starting before the events of Iron Man 2. Extremely slow burn. Reader is referred to with they/them pronouns. Homophobia and Transphobia are not plot points.
