Summary
Was there ever a more conducive environment for strangeness? Leitners circulate in the library system like demons through damnation. Hallways twist into impossible configurations. Above everything, a man watches, green-eyed and pensive, all-seeing. Boys who have been teenagers since the nineties repeat the same grade and watch their teachers’ eyes fog over with memories unshaping themselves.
Or: Jonathan Sims (fifteen years of age), a watchful school, the losing of his lonesomeness, and a whole library of books older than your great-grandfather’s dick.

Summary
Jonathan Sims does not believe in the supernatural, thank you very much. But when he wakes up one morning with what he thinks are possibly the world's worst superpowers, he realizes that both his reputation as a skeptic and new identity as a vigilante are in danger from his overly curious boss and nosy coworkers...

Summary
‘No,’ said Judge Roberta Field, over the top of her pasta salad.
‘Good afternoon, Your Honour,’ said Elias Bouchard. He smiled. It was a benign smile, like they always were. And yet it was the sort of smile that she knew brought horrors she couldn’t begin to anticipate.
Her eyelid twitched. ‘I am retiring in three weeks,’ she hissed.
~
Judge Roberta Field is retiring early. No more long days. No more screaming couples. No more family drama. Just a lovely cottage in Scotland. Life is going swimmingly.
Unfortunately for her, her two least favourite regulars decide to stop by for one last hurrah.

Summary
Judge Roberta Field eyed the next case on the docket balefully. She’d known it was coming. As soon as she’d seen it appear in her schedule she’d cursed and debated “breaking a leg”, since it had been too late to have another baby as a way out. She’d convinced herself that was too extreme, however, and lulled herself into a false sense of security that she must be misremembering and it wouldn’t be that bad. So she’d decided to keep working and let it happen. And now it was here.
The Bouchard-Lukas divorce.
Again.
It had been three years since the last one, which had to be a new record.
--
Elias and Peter are divorcing again. In trying to decide the division of their marital property, they need some witnesses to assist their respective cases. This is unfortunate for Jon and Martin, who would really rather be elsewhere.

Summary
Everything should be fine now, except it isn't. Why does Batman still seem to brush Joker off? Why won't he listen to anything Joker says? Why won't he just get that they're supposed to be best enemies now?
Well. Maybe his roommate Bruce Wayne can help.

Summary
That soulmate AU where you get the name of your soulmate on your wrist...except instead of your soulmate, it's the person who kills you.
___“Can’t eat this,” Jon says.
Georgie looks up from her chicken sandwich. She blanches. “Jesus, Jon. You look—what’s wrong?”
Jon taps the top left side of his chest. “Name tag. Didn’t see until he gave us our food.”
“Oh. Oh! You mean...” Georgie looks around like she expects to see the grim reaper perched on a booth cushion. “Shit. Should we leave?”
“Well I mean—I don’t—I mean he might not be that Martin. And even if he were, there’s hardly anything I could do about it. You know how it is. I’d try to leave and he’d—he’d trip on his way to the kitchen and a fork would fling itself into my jugular or something.”

Summary
Gerry took a wavering step into the room, then another. In the darkness underneath the weird luminous crack in space and time there lay a man crumpled on the floor; he was slight and wild-haired and his face was screwed up in pain, his dirty clothes covered in blood.
"Oh shit," Gerry groaned and fell to his knees, hands hovering. The man’s breath came quick and shallow, teeth digging into his lower lip and nails digging into the floor. Not surprising, that — there was a bloody knife buried in his chest.In another universe, Gerry and Sasha acquire a very troublesome roommate. In yet another universe, Martin has to deal with the antics of a spider. A strange one-sided correspondence across worlds ensues, while the passage between realities is slowly closing…

Summary
Martin wasn't alone when he went back to investigate Vittery's basement that night, and he wasn't alone when he fled back to his apartment either. Stuck caring for a boss that hates him, all he can do is pray his coworkers notice their absence.
Trapped in an apartment with his least favourite assistant and limited supplies, Jon is forced to confront his fear of the supernatural head-on while battling his cravings and bizarrely realistic nightmares. Also, there may or may not be a worm trying to burrow into his leg.
This is going to be one hell of a week.

Summary
The harmless crush hadn’t taken Martin by surprise. At all. He knows his own weaknesses, and the day he’d first set eyes on Jon, he’d seen every last one of them glaring back at him. But as he steps into the pub on the unremarkable Thursday night on which he will fall in love, he’s thinking about fate.
Jon, on the other hand, is thinking about how soon he can reasonably leave the pub.
The next four years? An exercise in bad timing.

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

Summary
After the end of the end of the world, Jon and Martin end up in the same place the Entities do—which is to say, everywhere. The problem is, they’ve never been everywhere before, and it’s not as easy as it looks. While they would very much like to help the innumerable worlds that they doomed to the predation of the Dread Powers, they don’t have much practice at influencing reality through spooky books, monsters, or spacetime manipulation. That doesn’t mean they don’t try their best.
Elsewhere, in one of these innumerable worlds, Jon finds a book. It tells him to fall in love, and also, to invest in a cement mixer.

Summary
The world has changed, and Martin knows the new rules as well as anyone. The monsters come when the sun sets, so you best be home before then. Blast your lights, barricade your doors. Don’t come out until morning. When Martin inadvertently stays out past sunset, he flees his monstrous pursuers and stumbles upon the Magnus Estate, eerie and seemingly abandoned, in the middle of the woods.
Inside is a man with a monstrous face and glowing eyes, who insists Martin is the key to turning the world back.
Or, a Beauty and the Beast au—tma style ;)

Summary
"Loki, please, just get back to work. Who knows what’ll happen after we catch this guy, but maybe we can figure somethi-”
“Mobius, there is no ‘figuring something out’. You say you know me, but I know power. After you find this Variant, I won’t have enough to bargain with anymore. The Time Keepers won’t want me after we're done. I'm a threat. And they're right. I'll kill them at the first opportunity.”
Mobius flinched at the mental image of Loki killing the keepers, but he knew he was being honest.
Loki continued, “After we’re done, you'll get the victor's parade- ‘Oh, clever Mobius, the hero of the TVA’, and I'll turn to vapor.”
That was exactly the plan. For a moment, the gray curtain of bureaucracy lifted and Mobius saw something more than the paperwork and signatures. He saw Loki. This Loki wasn’t just a video anymore. This Loki knew his name. He was asking -or threatening- him for help. Was he really going to delete him? Could he actually do it?
-
A branched timeline where Loki and Mobius form an alliance to figure out who they are individually and to each other without the TVA. Nexus event: Loki steals a file he shouldn't have and learns a hard truth.
