Summary
You'd never expected to be one of those people who bonded with a random stray, and if you did, you never expected it to turn out like this. The tiny... blob of an animal was cute, affectionate, and melted your heart before you'd even named him. Unfortunately, not everything is as it seems. You've met this lovely creature before, and he definitely remembers you...

Summary
It’s been two years since your best friend lost his grant, and with it, the ability to keep you in his lab. Two years since you started living at his abandoned observatory, because he never answered your emails asking for permission to stay.
Two years since you asked him to play tag in the rain during that argument, and here you were, still ‘it’.
But that was all about to change the night you wished on a shooting star, following a skeleton crashing into your observatory.
You were pretty sure this wasn’t the angel you wished for, and definitely sure that angels didn’t kidnap people like you.
You just wish there was a window in the basement to see the stars.

Or: Dust kidnaps you, but you're kinda done with everything

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.
