Summary
Fic Completed: 8/10/25
When fishermen from her village accidentally kill a young Lemurian, her village must find a way to appease the furious Sea God.
Unfortunately, the Sea is cruel and it demands an eye for an eye.
To her horror she finds it's up to her to repay the debt to the Sea God's satisfaction.
(Or: MC is a somewhat unwilling sacrifice left for Rafayel who decides the only way for her village to pay for the life of the Lemurian child they killed is for her to make a new one with him. Fortunately, he has just the tools he needs to do that thanks to some fancy Lemurian biology ... )
This one's for the mermaid-monster girlies who deserve a real meal! I hope you all enjoy it!

Summary
Valaena Targaryen is a bastard, legitimized by the king when she was just a child, but a bastard just the same. Her father's love and protective nature of her is the only reason she holds such a high place at court, content on living her days as the bastard Daemon Targaryen and enjoying the freedom life had to offer her.
Unfortunately, fate has other plans as she finds herself thrown into the center of war and used as a pawn to all those vying for the throne. Torn between love and family, Valaena is forced to choose as death threatens those most dear to her.

Summary
In 1982, Veronica Mendez got expelled from her prestigious Catholic school, and her life would never be the same.
After being sent to live with her estranged father as punishment, Veronica was stuck dealing with racist bullies, the small town rumor mill, and her conflicting feelings about her parents, love, and stepping out of her older siblings’ shadow. But it was only for three years; all she had to do was work her ass off, get a full ride scholarship to college, and then she could get the hell out of Hawkins! Her plan went haywire the moment she met Eddie Munson, a boy who would accompany her through the trials and tribulations of being a teenage Chicana in the 80s.

Summary
Miranda Sheppard always thought Hawkins, Indiana was a quiet—maybe even boring—little town. But that illusion shattered in 1983, the day Will Byers vanished without a trace. It was the beginning of something much darker.
Four years later, after losing her father in 1985 and surviving the horrors of Starcourt, Miranda is trying to move forward, scarred but still standing. She spends the summer away from Hawkins, hiding out in the quiet town of New Harmony with her aunt and uncle—searching for peace, even though she knows forgetting isn’t an option.
When she returns for her senior year, Hawkins is almost unrecognizable—marked by grief, silence, and secrets that never really stayed buried. But something else is stirring in the shadows: a supernatural threat that never truly died. And now it’s back—stronger, crueler, and hungry for more than just blood.
It wants to consume everything.

Summary
Mom presses her forehead against Peter’s and her hair tickles his cheeks. Mom makes a silly face and tickles his side, and try as he might not to, Peter’s arms drop and tuck into himself, a peal of laughter escaping him. Mom dips him to the side and this grants her another loud laugh from Peter.
“Well, I hate to break it to you, but you’re gonna be my baby forever and ever. No matter how tall or how old you get.”
