Camera Shutters

by nlpiersee

Percy is working in a cafe, living that demi-god college life. Or trying to. He's still not certain what he's going to school for just yet, but he's enjoying the swim team and being able to see his friends in a place he doesn't really have to worry about monsters. But he catches the attention of a photographer who thinks that Percy is what the world needs to see. And since Percy is impulsive, he decides, why not?

Babysitting Multiple

by charamelwrites

Season 1 (1-57): finishedYour new monster friend helped you find a place. Now you live with skeleton brothers. Not until a successful breakthrough, you now live with multiple skeleton brothers from different alternate universes until they find a way to get back home. An arduous task it is.  Season 2 (58-100): finished!!After enduring years of trauma, this is a journey towards self-reflection, self-healing, and self-recovery. [edit, january 1, 2021: this fic started in 2016 which means i barely have any idea how to plot AT ALL & this is very messy & also weird pacing & characters aren’t consistent. so this is a warning if u ever want to read this fic. i tried to fix it by the second season but honestly it’s too far gone. however, i have revamped this fic to a new one called Babysitting with Extra Morbid Steps which is written better & with plot points & lotsa angst but it’s still ongoing.this fic and that one has different characterizations and motivations so anything that happened here will most probably not happen in the other one so they’re two completely different sets of fics that just used the same theme! that’s all. you have been warned.]

Miraculous Ladybug

To Cry

by Lady_LB

“Ah, Ladybug. How may I help you today?” Master Fu opened his door and gestured Marinette to come inside with a slightly raised eyebrow as he sensed that her spiritual energy was out of sync. Something was terribly wrong with the girl.“Master Fu, I h-hate to bother you… but Tikki said that I should come because…I-I need your help.” An almost tearful Marinette answered. “I’ve been trying to deal with it myself, but I have to admit, I’ve… I’ve been compromised.”

Let Hope Break the Levy

by hesitantlitmus

It makes sense that when Harry has no idea what career path he should follow, that he would ask advice from the person whose job it was to advise him of his possible career options in the first place. Professor McGonagall is willing to help if Harry only tells her the truth.

Angel with a Shotgun

by SkylerSkyhigh, Tereox_X

[Based on our work "Adaptive Quirk"]Hawks should have been the youngest hero to make it into the top three. He should have been a prestigious and charming individual. The perfect hero. Phantom is an illegal vigilante. One of the best. His swift takedowns are what makes villains fear him. Most heroes try to hunt him down. They all fail. He is just too fast. But one hero gets lucky.

acolyte

by sonrissa

“Midoriya said I might find you up here.” Hitoshi hadn’t heard the silent footsteps from afar, but he had heard Todoroki's breathing. It was shallow, purposely so. Hitoshi wouldn’t pretend he didn’t know exactly what that meant. He wouldn’t pretend he never learned how to cease any noise from footfalls or which floorboards of his house creaked the loudest. Home was never an easy place -- never safe, never comforting. Home was a place to keep one’s guard up, to watch one’s back until behind the refuge of a closed and locked door. Hitoshi learned how to hide his flinches. How to taper down fear and endure unnecessary pain at the hands of someone who was supposed to love him. He saw that same dreadful knowledge in Todoroki.
