Summary
Kalina was tired of being a shadow. Operation after operation failed because she couldn't get involved directly. She had eyes and ears.
What she needed were hands.
And there was a particular pair of hands she had in mind. A child's pair of green hands, already dexterous despite his young age. Those hands were adept at teasing blocks from behind couch cushions and scrawling the correct answers on every assignment, but they grasp at other hands far too often.
He'd require testing. Refinement. But she'd spent so long as just whispers in ears, she could sink a few years into training her hands. She'd hedged enough bets. It was time for an investment.
A Kalina kidnaps/trains Riz AU. Ft. newsies, conspiracies, violence, ACAB, manipulation, grief, and a metric ton of crime.

“Oh, sweetheart.”
“Mom?” Riz asks, eyes blinking open. “What are you doing here?”
“Gods, you’re really out of it, huh?” She shakes her head and squeezes into a seat next to Riz, putting her arm on his shoulder. “Doctors never know what dose to give a goblin,” she mutters under her breath.

Summary
It goes like this: Sophomore Year rolls around, and Kristen is doing great. She's got a great girlfriend, a new god, a new house, and an awesome party. There are a few faults in this happiness, like how she can't seem to balance any of the things in her life that aren't world-endingly cataclysmic, or how she always feels like she's failing everyone, or how even with a new god, her questions are driving her to aimlessness. But that's fine! All she has to do is hold faith that everything will work out. She's totally got this.
It goes like this: Sophomore Year rolls around, and Riz is happier than ever. He's handling his magic, he's maintaining friends that aren't his babysitter for the first time in living memory, and school is a lot more fun when you aren't trying to find your missing friend or stop an evil dragon from conquering the world. There are a few snags in the glow of satisfaction, like how he has never had this many friends before, and isn't totally sure he's doing it right, or that he can't manage to figure out what the appeal of sex is, or that he still doesn't know who his dad is. But that's fine! All he has to do is keep ignoring all the things he doesn't want to think about. He's totally got this.

Summary
“I'm trying to surprise you,” Fabian says, a smile still marking his face, though it’s lost some of its confidence and bravado. Now, he looks like he’s realizing he maybe took a step too far without noticing that the ground wasn’t underneath his feet any longer.
Riz balls his hands up in tightly clenched fists. “You know how I feel about surprises,” he repeats himself, echoing the Riz who said those words just a few weeks ago. He can’t believe Fabian is still on this, whatever ‘this’ is. He hoped it was a passing urge, something that would come and go without Riz actually being caught off guard by some huge, unexpected gesture. But here he is, face-to-face with what seems like a huge, unexpected gesture.
“This is a good one, The Ball. I promise. Sit down, please,” he says, nodding to the foot of the bed. “Have you heard of a Soul Life Bond?”
-
or: Fabian hears about a ritual that could change the course of his life forever. Riz isn't so sure about it.

Summary
“Her choice?” He asks, suddenly filled with rage. “She has to choose between her brothers?”
“From what I hear, Miss Applebees here, sweetheart that she is, has a problem with taking responsibility for things. She has a hard time stepping forward and making the tough calls. If she wants to prove herself to be more than a fickle, indecisive girl, she’ll have to make this impossible choice and live with the consequences. That is her challenge. Not yours.”
Kristen remains frozen, arms held out in front of her loosely. She looks like she wants to dig—her fingertips move, nervously twitching—but she doesn’t touch the earth. She doesn’t even blink as the words wash over her.

or: A mysterious figure entraps Kristen and Riz in an Aguefort classroom and presents them with a game of moral quandaries, complete with life-or-death consequences.

Summary
“Hello, Fabian Aramais Seacaster. My romance partner’s romance partner.”
“That’s not what we are to each other,” Fabian protests. His hands grip into tight fists, pretending to be brave in front of this visage of fear itself. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You killed me. You see, I lived in Riz Gukgak’s head. I’m his. When you changed his head, whispered sweet words to him, you wiped me away, Fabian Aramais Seacaster. You erased me. My romance partner is no longer afraid, not the way he used to be, which means I can no longer feed on him,” Baron smiles, his wide black grin coming to life as he steps out of the shadow and into the light. “And I’m very, very hungry.”

or: In Riz's absence, Baron finds his way into Fabian's head, sparking doubts and insecurities.

the wrong thing (for the right reason) by honeyfluent
Fandoms: Dimension 20 (Web Series)

Summary
Is it the right time? Would a threat be out of proportion to the crime? Riz can’t decide. He feels his thoughts swirl. He’s doing the right thing, he is. The moral thing. He’s helping his mom, that’s all there is to it. He would threaten someone for her; hell, he’d do a lot more than that. And that doesn’t make him a bad person. He’s doing it for the greater good. For her good. He’s doing it because he sees something wrong with the world and he has the ability to fix it.
So he must. It’s his responsibility. He’ll step up to the plate even if no one else is playing ball.
-
or: Riz begins to lose sight of the ethics of his actions but his sense of justice grows and grows.

Summary
Riz grabs the mug. He smiles. “I would love to watch the Great Gnomish Baking Show with you guys,” he tells Fig. “And I can't wait to finish this tea.”
“That's the spirit,” Fig cheers, about-facing to march into the living room. “Riz on the road to rest and relaxation, baby!”
“That's basically a song title right there,” Kristen says.
“Hey, kind of! Riz, can I write a song about your journey to becoming a more centered individual?”
“Sure,” Riz says, because Kipperlilly would never say yes to that. And he's not Kipperlilly.
(Or: After the events of Junior Year, Riz resolves to stop drinking coffee and start relaxing. It's not as easy as it sounds.)

Summary
Riz Gukgak has never been amazing at sitting still. It was why he was at school early, getting ready to set up for the yearly activity fair. And then he was hit by a spell.
Fabian Aramais Seacaster made a point to practice every day. The fresh air from the open window just made him an easier target to hit. When he opened his eyes, he stood in the trophy room he had turned into his dance studio.
Now, they had to figure out how to get home.
(or, Riz and Fabian are sent back in time. Whoever cast this spell on them did a shit job, because their past selves are still here.)

“Yeah, yeah, wouldn’t that be nice?”
-

Summary
On the fifth day of the apocalypse, Kristen tripped. She’d done it before and, in a different world, she would do it again, but in this world, it was the last time she’d ever trip. It was the last time she’d ever do anything in her own right mind, in fact.
She was bitten in the juncture of her throat and shoulder, so, so close to the brain. Close enough that she began to turn immediately.
Riz knew what he was supposed to do and he had the weapon to do it in hand. A single shot through the brain or the heart. He could take his pick.
He didn’t, though. He picked a third option.
