Summary
With Rio being secretly detained by the Spanish government, Sergio needs to act now and act fast. And so he returns to his brother's old friend Martín Berrote to pull off the dreamsharing heist of the century in order to get Rio back.
But, little does he know that Martín is haunted by more than just memories of the late Andrés de Fonollosa, a fact that might just destroy this heist from the inside out.
An Inception/LCDP AU, because who is more fitting than Martín to be haunted by the love of his life?

Summary
"I thought we had a strict no-gift-giving rule for this Christmas."
"Of course I wasn't going to give any of the brats a present. But that doesn't count for us." Andrés says as if Martín is an idiot.
Martín just smiles harder.

Summary
It’s been twenty-five months, two weeks and five days since Sokka has last seen his family.
Surviving in the apocalypse isn’t easy - particularly when you are by yourself - but when he meets a mysterious survivor, Zuko, thing’s get a lot more complicated. Both looking to escape their demons, they first have to learn how to survive together as they cross the country in search of Sokka’ sister, as they constantly butt heads. But things are made more complicated, when Sokka discovers Zuko is hiding some dark secrets that threaten both their lives, and potentially the worlds’. The two survivors must avoid zombies, other survivors, and Zuko’s own father.
(This fic is a quiet exploration of Zuko and Sokka’s relationship as they grow from hating one another but being bonded in a mutual desire to survive, to caring deeply for one another. It features body horror and experimentation, learning what it means to live instead of just survive, and apocalypse appropriate violence.)

Summary
The year is 1957.
Starting a new school was a special form of pain, but starting at Idris High as a junior when you didn't know anyone in the state, let alone the school? Pure torture.
Simon must battle with fitting in with his new clique, finding his place at Idris High and working out who Raphael Santiago really is - the sweet boy from his summer romance or the apathetic greaser who's way too cool for a nerd like Simon.
AKA the "Grease" AU you never knew you wanted.

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

Summary
For as long as Aloy can remember, the mission, whatever it may be, has always been the most important thing. Problems to solve, people to help, a world to save—there’s never been room for anything, anyone else.
Because letting people in, letting people know her, really know her, letting them see all her flaws and weaknesses is a risk beyond anything she’s ever faced. It’s easy enough to push people away and maintain a comfortable—a safe—distance.
Until Kotallo. Until suddenly she wants things she’s never allowed herself to want. Until suddenly she has them.
But after a lifetime of walls and running, learning to be vulnerable, to trust someone with all the fragile, broken pieces of herself? That takes time.

Summary
When hunter-killer machines begin attacking the Memorial Grove, Aloy returns there to lend her aid. She arrives on the night of the blaze moon, a Tenakth ceremony that sweeps her up in it before she realizes it's happening. Suddenly suitors are seeking her out around every corner until she and Kotallo stumble into an...unorthodox solution.
That might cause more problems than it solves.

Summary
Simon huffed. “So, if you're not gonna kill me, then… why are you here?”
A long pause as Raphael took in Simon's sorry state, disheveled clothes and bloodless pallor. Simon squirmed under his ex-leader's scrutiny.
Finally, Raphael said, “I hate you.”

Summary
Simon mulled it over before answering with ‘I’ll check with dad’, which earned him an unexpected call at 3 in the morning. ‘You call Raphael dad?’ Clary shrieked through the phone, adorably sleepy and at the same time ridiculously hysterical.
“Pssh no!" Simon said after laughing down the line for several seconds. "Lily is my dad.”~
The story follows Simon's new life with the clan after Camille has been sent to Idris. It includes music, clan shenanigans, reconciliation, love and comfort, a couple of serious conversations, Spanish telenovelas, werewolves, flirting and wooing with office supplies, protective Simon, protective Raphael, protective clan - everyone is quite protective, really - and a growing pile of original characters who don't appear all that often but are mentioned frequently because it's a huge clan and I can't keep using the same three people for everything, alright?
This is a slice of life rom-com sprinkled with insecurity issues and personal growth. A fluffy, feel-good slow-burn with Raphael being his usual gloriously irritating self and Simon being denser than a brick wall. So what if he doesn't realize they have been sort of dating for a while? It happens!
