Summary
Isagi Yoichi has a special talent: destroying bands from the inside. Not with criticism, not with sabotage, but with his body and his gaze. He infiltrates, seduces, and when every member is obsessed, when chaos is inevitable, he disappears. He leaves behind shattered egos and music that will never sound the same again.
Ego Riot is his next target. An alternative rock band at the top, five men as hungry for validation as he is for control. Kaiser, the narcissistic leader. Rin, the resentful guitarist. Bachira, the bassist who dances with the void. Shidou, fury made flesh. Kurona, the silent witness who sees everything.
The plan is perfect. Until it stops being so.
Because this time, when Isagi bites the hook, he discovers that the fish was already watching him. And that cages, sometimes, are built by everyone together.
or
An AU where Isagi is a maneater who takes down bands in his path but ends up falling victim to his own invention.

Summary
Regina is the strict, organized head of the PTA at Storybrooke Academy, and she likes life exactly the way she controls it, calm, predictable, and free of distractions. That peace shatters when a new parent joins the school community: Emmet Swan, the ridiculously attractive single dad everyone in the PTA can’t stop whispering about.
Regina is determined to ignore him… until fate steps in. Her son and Emmet’s daughter quickly become inseparable, forcing Regina and Emmet into each other’s orbit far more than she’d prefer. What slowly turns into teasing banter, reluctant partnership, and undeniable chemistry.
Emmet shakes up Regina’s world in every way she never expected, showing her what it truly means to be loved, supported, and cared for. But as their walls come down, they discover that sometimes the most unexpected person is exactly the one your heart has been waiting for. -

Tangled Loyalties || Fred Weasley by isaasstories_17

Summary
Katherine Black was born to rule.
To command.
Order and control were the rhythm she lived by, the structure she built her world upon.
She knew exactly who she was, and so did everyone else. What she inspired wasn't fear, nor was it blind admiration. It was either respect, or a nasty type of jealousy.
But there was always one exception. One infuriating, impossible, red-haired exception who refused to bow to her presence.
Fred Weasley.
So the question becomes: what happens when the Trickster falls for the untouchable Heiress?
And what happens when he realises her destiny is far too great to comprehend?

Summary
Jungkook knows exactly what people become when they smell weakness.
He sees it in the ring, in school hallways, behind café counters, in boys who travel in packs and call cruelty boredom. He survives by keeping his head down, his fists up, and his future small.
Taehyung survives differently.
Quiet. Brilliant. Watchful.
He looks harmless right up until the moment he isn’t.

Summary
Kye was a paramedic in Kansas—trained to handle chaos, to think fast, to keep people alive when everything went wrong.
Then she wakes up in Skyrim.
No explanation. No way back. Just a world that doesn’t make sense and people who trust even less than she does.
Her instincts keep her alive—but they also make her stand out.
Too observant. Too aware. Too different.
And when she crosses paths with the Companions of Whiterun, that difference doesn’t go unnoticed.
Vilkas doesn’t trust her.Not her story. Not her presence. Not the way she moves like she’s already learned how to survive something else entirely.
He watches her. Tests her. Keeps his distance.
Kye doesn’t blame him.
She wouldn’t trust her either.But survival has a way of forcing people together.
And the longer she stays—
the more the lines blur between suspicion and understanding…
…and something far more dangerous than either.

Summary
“It’s so... plain, Lahan!” Xiaolan pouted as they toured the Grand Commandant’s apartments. “It is no wonder that all the rumors I heard about this Office made it sound like I’d be eating bulkheads for breakfast!”
“Well, the way I see it, we have a certain reputation to maintain.” Lahan privately admitted that he hardly even noticed the space in that way. “The Grand Commandant cannot appear to be “soft”, or overly welcoming.”
“There’s simple, and then there’s whatever this is!” Xiaolan hmphed, pausing before a particularly desolate corner where he and Peng sat drinking tea just a week earlier. “I’m going to tell you a list of things, and I want you to order them for me, all right? Everything will still look as imposing as ever - promise!”
-
Lahan was born among the loose conglomeration of Li's provincial mining belts, but his family seem dead-set on him departing from his home the moment he comes of age. The best of his many options is the yearly Naval Entrance Examination, held on the Academy grounds, on Planet Li. Only time will tell whether Lahan's life will change for the better as attempts to take his future into his own hands.

Summary
Socially-anxious, troubled musician meets bubbly barista with an aura of pure sunshine.
Will they be able to find what they're looking for with each other? Or will unhealed trauma from the past, a protective brother and his bandmates keep them apart?Tropes;
- He falls first
- Forced proximity
- She is off limits
- Slow burn love
- Trauma put into expression
- Who hurt you?
- Socially awkward encounters
- Hidden identity
- Kinky adult contentNB; This is an ungoing work in progress.
It has become way longer and more detailed than I intended it to be, solely for the fact that I got lost in the world I created and in the characters this story is about.
If you're in for a long ride with human life along the rockstar drama and some tasty sexual scenes, then this one's for you 🫶In no way are the identities of the Sleep Token bandmembers given away in this fanfiction. Names, situations and places are completely made up by me.
I understand that the Sleep Token members are real human beings, so their personalities in this story are what I liked them to be rather than how they might be in real life, since I do not know them at all. -

Summary
Frank was in a bind. Abby wants to sell the house and split the money. He can't afford the mortgage on his income alone and thinks this is probably the best way of avoiding foreclosure. The only problem? He can't afford to pay for an apartment and the agreed-upon child support. Fortunately, there is a room for rent near the hospital.
Huckleberry moved out, and she was screwed. She had expected it to be temporary; surely he would come back once Robby returned from his sabbatical, right? Wrong. He found a studio apartment in his budget that didn't come with drama or a roommate. Good for him. But now Trinity found herself in a dilemma; she was just barely scraping by before taking him in. The cost of living has gone up, but her income has decidedly not. She needed a new roommate. The solution is simple: list a room for rent. The property management company she hired promised a tenant with a clean background and verifiable income. So what if she's too busy to actually meet the guy beforehand? They had a few text conversations. He seems nice enough.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
During a mandated eighth year, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts on probation, one failed class away from Azkaban. Forced by the Ministry to pass Muggle Studies with an Outstanding, he reluctantly asks Hermione Granger for help—and she agrees on one strict condition: he is not allowed to fall in love with her. As their tutoring sessions turn into something deeper, Draco begins to notice how fiercely Hermione’s friends protect her, and how carefully she avoids talking about the future. When a moment meant to be harmless spirals out of control, the illusion of a “normal year” begins to crack. Some lessons can’t be learned from books, and some rules are made to be broken.
