Totem Poll

by saddnap

Clay has a reputation, classic football player, girls and guys fawning over the ground he walks on. He walks around like he owns the place, and he does. He is involved in everything, already having a full ride to his dream school. Everyone knows his name, and it shows. George is quite the opposite, well kind of. People know who he is, but no one really cares about him, they just know his name. He’s the Editor in Chief of the Oakwood Gazette, his pride and joy. He is proud of his work and it shows. One day, George is assigned a story on Clay, a story featuring his accomplishments. Two people on different ends of the totem pole have to work together to create this story. While George doesn’t like Clay, and Clay has a sudden infatuation with him.

A Reputation

by Feneris

There are few beings in the universe who are able to beat Alcor the Dreambender. Even fewer who were publicly witnessed beating Alcor the Dreambender with a mop outside of a library. And even if you look and act like a timid librarian, having one of the meanest bikers in Oregon spreading the story tends to give it some credibility.

Tangled (2010)

According to Plan

by FossilizedCake

The Lost Princess has returned. So has a certain thief. And who the hell is this Eugene guy the princess constantly fusses over?Name-play, misunderstandings and Eugene!whump all around (with a pile of fluffy first chapters).Or:The people of Corona (including the guards) think that Flynn Rider and Eugene Fitzherbert are two different people and they act accordingly. Unfortunately nobody in the royal family (or Eugene himself) knows about the confusion and they're terrible at clearing up misunderstandings (aka: they're making it worse). So, the general consensus is that Flynn is an abusive criminal and Eugene is the hero the princess deserves and of course, people only know what Flynn looks like. Pretty much just an excuse for Eugene to get whumped unjustifiably. Embedded in an actual story though (otherwise it wouldn't be so long).Very much Eugene-centric but Rapunzel is really important too, as is their relationship.Originally written in 2015 before the series, so all the names and everything is different. Solely based on and set right after the movie.Active WIP.

Merlin (TV)

Deal

by PandaMoth

The thing is, Arthur knows he is being ridiculous. He is well aware of this, and he is under no illusions as to what kind of person he is. He knows Merlin is absolutely capable of defending himself, of defending his own honour. He is magic for fuck’s sake. He could probably take on Arthur at any time of day, in any situation.

Mask

by 2Kris_P

Claude had a good poker face. It was something he prided himself on, showing a calm façade or a joking smirk to the world....There was Teach at the bottom of the stairs, her shoulders squared, moving in measured breaths, her gaze to the floor. To anyone else, her manner wouldn't be out of the ordinary. It looked as if she just paused to think of something, perhaps remembering something that she had forgotten to do.Claude, who had worn the same poker mask for most of his life, recognized what Teach was really feeling.

My Mender Of Broken Things

by ryn (ryn1505)

Stick with me here. I know that you probably know the story, because it's how our Kingdom today came about. But I wanted to know the truth for myself, and I'm kind of a history buff. Plus, those new books in school miss a lot of information. Like, how did Veronica and JD even meet? Why would they do all that they did for each other? Why were the Heather's so important? How are the two families even connected?So yeah, I'm gonna answer my own questions.(Heathers ancient kingdoms au. Set in the past, I'll provide a lot of context in the first chapter)
