Summary
After an incident at the world-famous Ebott Aquarium, you find yourself placed on a team of staff dedicated to the care of the prize exhibits at the facility; three notoriously aggressive skeleton siren monsters captured in the name of 'research'. An orca with a disturbing record of finding new ways to attempt to drown his keepers, a shark who's excellent at removing whatever stray hands come his way, and a deep-sea octopus whose past (and body count) are hidden behind endless stacks of legal papers. Despite their pattern of brutally murdering their ever-changing team of keepers, they all seem to immediately take a shine to you- a worryingly bright shine. A shine that won't go away, a shine that starts to unnerve you.
However, the longer you work there, the more you see the inner workings of Ebott Aquarium. The more you realise the sirens you're 'caring for' aren't dumb beasts, they're deeply intelligent... they aren't mindlessly aggressive, they've gone insane, locked in those tiny glass cages.
... The more you interact with the sirens... the more you realise their murderous aggression might not be all that misplaced.

Summary
Tomura wants to give Deku his Quirk back. He doesn't have time to think about the consequences. A canon ending fix-it, inspired by Veddie (Venom), with Deku being the sweetest angel with a villain kink and Tomura getting love and happiness and doing his best not to ruin Izuku's life with his presence. Boring and soft and sweet and everyday happiness type of work.

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
“You’re late, vampire. I already took care of the vermin lurking here.”
Alucard hummed, eyeing the blood splattered on the floors and wall. “I can see that you did - how considerate of you, priest.”
Anderson gave a snort. “Considerate? You speak as if I did this for you. Destroying the evil that plagues God’s Earth is my sworn duty, vampire. And speaking of—“ Bayonets dropped into his hands and he crossed them, sparks flying as steel screeched upon steel, the sound grating and unpleasant. Anderson grinned from behind his bayonets, his eyes wide and feral. “There’s still you to contend with.”
--
In which Alucard and Anderson hook up, and of course it's more involved than a hook up should be.

Summary
A collection of stories involving Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles (and sometimes Shadow) from the movies sharing some instincts, traits, and characteristics with their real-life counterparts (hedgehogs, foxes, and echidnas). These aren't necessarily in the same universe unless otherwise stated, but you can consider it however you want. Most of these stories are fluffy with minor angst due to their personalities and backstories, but there are a few that are legitimately angsty. Only hurt/comfort, tho. There will always be a happy ending or a promise of one.
