    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    Besides, these footsteps were different. They were very distinctly not Etho’s.
    Tango cursed to himself, running frantically through a list of Hermits in his head - who walked like that? - and squeezed shut his eyes, shivering despite himself.
    The footsteps stopped.

    Tango opened his eyes.

    There was a boy in Decked Out.
    There was a boy in Decked Out, who was very clearly not a Hermit.

    OR!

    The ground was approaching. Tommy’s hands opened in the air, reached out, tensed, clawed, like he was trying to catch something.
    Like somebody was reaching out to him.
    His fingers clasped around nothing, reached again, stretching out in his efforts to clasp onto the hand-

    And for one, crucial moment, he did.

    It fizzled at his fingertips, shocking all the way up his arm, and he tightened his hold on it and pulled.
    The world went dark.

    Summary

    Regulus Black has two obsessions.

    1) Hating his older brother’s best friend, James Potter. Has Regulus met the man before now? No. But he has deemed James Potter his mortal enemy since he was ten years old.

    2) A certain voice actor by the pseudonym Jay, who makes “spicy” audios.

    Regulus has always known the universe to have a sick sense of humour but he didn’t know it was this cruel. He’d recognize that voice anywhere. To Regulus’s shock and abject horror, James Potter is Jay, there’s no doubt about it.

    Summary

    The Blacks want to marry off their youngest child. He begs Sirius for help and tells him a secret: He is a man and would rather die than be forced to be anyone's wife.
    Panicked, Sirius arranges a marriage between his brother and his friend James Potter, knowing that Regulus can be the man he is in the English countryside on James' estate.

    James wants to ensure Regulus' happiness, even at the expense of putting his life on hold for a while.
    Regulus wants to ensure James doesn't fall into societal ruin because of him.
    Sirius wants to be loved.
    Barty must decide whether he wants to keep causing destruction or choose redemption.
    And Remus is just a very tired butler who watches James and Regulus dance around their actual feelings (literally).

    (Trans Reggie; set in the Victorian Age, 1890s. No horrible homophobia or transphobia depicted. Dysphoria is thematised.)

    Summary

    Jon is in a compromising position, but luckily his assistants don't know it's him.

    A few days later, his assistants definitely know it was him. Instead of letting it impact their work relationship, though, they make a proposition.

    What follows are two weeks of fun, friendship, and triple-teaming their boss until he can't think straight. Platonically, though. Definitely not romantically, everyone promises.
