Summary
Eddie never was a planner, but his new life necessitates having some idea of where he’s going, and when he’ll get there. He’d like to think that makes him more mature, but he’s still flying by the seat of his pants when it comes to the big picture. Getting his CDL was a way to escape Hawkins. To see the country, even if he’s mostly seeing long, lonely stretches of interstate in between depots.
There are bright spots. Hazy desert sunrises that make him want to write a sad song, and the occasional free evening to take in a show, meet some locals. Follow a pretty girl to her apartment if she’ll have him.
Most of the time, though, life comprises shitty diner burgers and far too little sleep. It's a lonely existence, but it suits him fine, until the night a strawberry-blonde ponytail at a gas station in Kentucky stops him in his tracks.

Summary
Adrian doesn’t let a lot of people touch him, literally or metaphorically. He knows the people he touches have a tendency to leave. So when he finds someone who touches him just right, he pulls them in and doesn’t let go. It’s a revelation, for the both of them.
A meandering romance between Vigilante and an original character. Rated for violence, language, and eventual smut.

Summary
“We’re in the middle of the desert, waterbender. So you might have that barrel, but once it’s gone, what do you have?” Zuko moved forward, into her personal space. She was shorter than him, and he was using his height deliberately to glare down at her, but Katara didn’t back down. He could feel the sun soaking into him – his power was strongest while she was at her weakest, and for a moment he wished she would start something so that he could beat her in a fight. “I can make fire anywhere, and you might get one shot in, but then I am going to make you burn.”
The moment dragged out.
They were glaring.
Still glaring.
This was the point where the girl would usually be flying away on a bison and he’d be covered in perfume or something.
Something shifted in her expression, and Zuko started fully processing what he had just said, and how it could perhaps have been phrased a little—Her voice was completely flat. “Make. Me. Burn.” Her mouth tugged, started widening into a sly smile.
His stomach dropped. Oh no. “I meant it like—“
***
OR:
A good tip about a mountain pass leads Zuko and Iroh to Misty Palms Oasis a week early, and they run straight into some old enemies.

Summary
“Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.” ― Confucius
One moment changes the course of history. Katara and Zuko are imprisoned by the Fire Nation Army during the Day of Black Sun, and when they escape, they find themselves adrift in the Fire Nation with no one to rely on but each other. With only six weeks before Sozin’s Comet arrives and four nations to cross, the pair must track down Katara’s allies, save the world—and learn to trust each other.
Canon divergent from Part 2 of 'Day of Black Sun.'

Summary
Three days ago, Padme Amidala closed her eyes for the last time in a sterile white room on an asteroid at the edge of nowhere. Three days ago, she opened them again on a sleek, chrome starship, watching Dorme putting on the finishing touches to Corde's headdress, her own weighted braids a comforting blanket on her back.
Padme decides to change things, decides she can save Anakin (and the Galaxy) this time. Except, as time passes, she starts to realize things aren't happening exactly the way she remembers...

When Hermione Granger is presented with a problem, she turns to research. Information, hypotheses, and experiments... These are all things she knows and loves, so it should come as no surprise that when she finds herself with a problem in the bedroom, she knows exactly how to find a solution.
And it just so happens that the solution is in the arms of a strong and confident stranger, with hands and lips that know just how to drive her body wild. The only problem? They belong to Draco Malfoy, the one person she should never trust.

Summary
Jesus Christ, he had a girl on his shoulders at a concert. A pretty girl. A girl who was ignoring the boyfriend that spouted angry words at their backs as Eddie stepped further into the crowd. The addition of Chrissy on his shoulders made him more imposing, and people parted for them until Chrissy tugged on his hand, leaning down to yell in his ear that they were far enough for her.
Shit.
Shit.
or:
What was he supposed to do, not lift the pretty girl onto his shoulders after she asked so nicely?

Summary
The first time Eddie Munson watches Chrissy Cunningham die isn't the worst. It's the second, because he had thought she was going to live this time.
//
The universe made a cosmic mistake the day Chrissy Cunningham was allowed to die. It set off a chain of events that led to catastrophe, at first local, then global, and eventually interdimensional. It led to the end of all there is, was, and would ever be.
But the universe is rather interested in self-preservation. It couldn’t save itself in the future, but it could save itself then.
If only someone would get it right.
[Now complete.]

Summary
1986 really was Eddie Munson's year. He graduated. Moved to Chicago. Corroded Coffin started to gain a following. He made new friends and got a cool new job.
Everything was great.
Now if he could just survive until 1987, things would be perfect.
(or the Russian Doll AU that nobody asked for)

Summary
Hellfire Ink,” she repeated, glancing around the still-unsettled front room. “You’re a…tattoo parlor?”
“No,” he shook his head. “We specialize in Satanic calligraphy.”
Chrissy stared at him for a long beat before she snorted and covered her mouth to hide a laugh. Suddenly, Eddie wanted to make her do that again. And again.

Summary
April 1986. Chrissy ditches prom to go see Eddie’s band play, and a month of uncertain flirtation comes to a head.
October 1990. Chrissy and Eddie reconnect in NYC, like a total cliché, and finally get the timing right.
Four years of missed connections, or, what if Chrissy and Eddie still had their drug-deal meet cute in the woods, but Vecna wasn't around to ruin everything?
