A Pokémon Mystery Dungeon fanfic. Bandit was just a human boy before he woke up in this strange new world, without any memories of his life as a human to boot. Now he's a Nickit, which means others are suspicious of him because of the reputation Nickit have for thievery in the area. He quickly finds himself in a tough spot upon entering this world, before he is rescued by a Vulpix who very soon starts crushing on him. He finds a home in a nearby village, gets settled in, and starts going to school, but trouble always finds a way of reaching him one way or another. No matter how comfortable he gets, he can't get around all these questions. Who was he before he became a Pokémon? How did he get here? Why can't he remember anything? The answers are bigger than he could have imagined.

In the Jura Tempest Federation, surrounded by Rimuru, Milim, and the others, Kyoshi begins to experience something he thought he had lost forever : Warmth.

And when it finally catches up, one question remains : Can someone who lost everything... learn how to live again ? - OC Character (Kyoshi Tsubaki) Character profile available on my profile (optional)

She didn't just survive the disaster- she became it. After fusing with an entire city, Kawaiia turns into something impossible: a living anomaly capable of reshaping reality itself. But power like that doesn't come quietly.

She doesn't destroy her enemies. She understands them. And with every encounter, she changes. But there's a limit. When her power spirals out of control and collapses an entire timeline, Kawaiia is forced to confront a terrifying truth: Infinite power without control doesn't make you a god. It breaks everything. Now, standing at the edge of godhood, she faces a final choice- Rule everything... or remain human.

Starting college was supposed to be simple. Classes, late nights, gaming breaks - and learning how to share a room with someone he barely knows. But as the semester settles in, Alex starts noticing the small things about his new roommate that linger longer than they should. Balancing school, friendships, and shared space becomes more complicated when emotions don't come with clear explanations.

Fiona Avana has spent years mastering the art of architectural restoration, breathing new life into spaces long forgotten. The Carlton Hotel, an iconic but crumbling structure, offers her the chance to leave a lasting mark on the city's skyline-and her career. But what should be just another project becomes anything but, when Jae Hyun Kim, the enigmatic CEO of KYL Group-and the man she thought she had buried in the past-steps back into her life. For Jae Hyun, becoming the CEO was never his dream, but it's the path he must walk to uphold his family's legacy. When Fiona unexpectedly reenters his world, old emotions stir, ones he thought he had pushed aside in favor of duty. But there's more at stake than just business between them. The Carlton's transformation mirrors the tension between their shared history and the unspoken connection that still lingers in the air. Caught between the allure of the past and the demands of the future, Fiona finds herself questioning everything-her work, her relationships, and the feelings she thought were long buried. With Gabriel, her good friend, someone she looks up to, showing unexpected signs of something deeper, and Jae Hyun quietly pulling at the edges of her resolve, Fiona must decide: Is it possible to restore what's been broken without losing herself in the process? As the Carlton's renovation pushes forward, so too do the complexities of the heart, where passion, loyalty, and ambition collide in ways that could change everything. *** This story is a work of fiction.

𝄞✦⟢𓂃⋆｡‧˚ʚɞ˚‧｡⋆𓂃⟢✦𝄞 Back then, the house was full of happiness and laughter. The sounds of children screaming and shouting in joy could be heard throughout the neighborhood. The older brother and the twins, a boy and a girl, were inseparable, promising to always be there for each other. But that promise shattered into a million pieces, along with the trust and bond they once shared. All that remained was a broken family. The house echoed only with silence. Trust was gone. Connection was gone. All they did was push each other further away. One of them finally decided that enough was enough and wanted to change, for the better. It began with the younger sister. She chose to stop focusing solely on her brothers and to start thinking about herself and her own life. What she didn't know was that her change had not gone unnoticed. Her brothers saw her efforts and, slowly, it opened a path toward understanding each other's struggles. 𝄞✦⟢𓂃⋆｡‧˚ʚɞ˚‧｡⋆𓂃⟢

He was selected for Neurovia because of how his brain works. He's starting to wonder if that's a good thing. When Julian Reyes gets selected in the Neurovia Institute, an elite program offering direct neural integration through an experimental implant called Catalyst, he knows his family can't afford to turn it down. What he doesn't know is what Neurovia is actually selecting for. Or what already integrated students are becoming. Catalyst doesn't give you new abilities. It amplifies what's already inside you. For Julian, that means pattern recognition so fast it feels like instinct. For Mateo, probabilistic thinking that starts to feel less like insight and more like fate. For Aisha, the ability to read people so precisely that awareness and manipulation stop being different things. They arrived as strangers. They're becoming something harder to name. But they're not the only ones in the building. And the people who got there first have had time to decide what to do with what they've been given. What do you become when the gap between who you are and who you could be suddenly disappears?

Han Seo-yeon has been on too many failed dates to count. Cheaters. Liars. Men who were already taken. At thirty, she's done believing love is meant for her. But everything changes the night she meets someone... different. Someone who listens. Someone who stays. Someone she can't quite understand. And for the first time she begins to feel something she thought she lost a long time ago. Some connections come quietly. But they leave louder than anything else.

Yuhan the Scorbunny dedicates his time rescuing other Pokémon at the Oakra Guild. His powers are impressive - but so is his way of dealing with adversity... Especially when it comes to relationships. It's not like anyone ever taught him how to deal with those anyways. Something terrible is approaching. And this time, he won't be able to face it alone. But how can he ask for help from those he's already hurt? And what is that... lurking in the shadows? This is a fan-made work set in the Pokémon universe.

Ahab, a Hitman, only has three years worth of memories and doesn't know why. It eats him up inside and he'll do anything to know why. After a mission goes not as planned, he gets that chance to uncover the answer to his question and find out what he was really meant to be.

She arrives in the city hoping to disappear. After her older brother's sudden death, Katherine leaves behind the only home she has ever known, carrying nothing but grief and the belief that distance might quiet the past. In a place where no one knows her name, she builds a life in silence-working mornings in a small café on the edge of a busy financial district, learning how to exist without being seen. Before she leaves, she finds a hidden box in her brother's room. Inside are letters she was never meant to see. Most of them are simple at first-ordinary words, familiar handwriting, fragments of care she doesn't fully let herself read. She only opens a few before closing the box again, leaving the rest untouched as if keeping them sealed might keep something else from unraveling. In the city, life settles into routine. Early mornings. Familiar faces. The comfort of being unknown. It should be enough. But it isn't. A man begins to pass through her world each day-always at the same time, always just out of reach of notice. He does not speak to her. He does not look at her like she is anything more than part of the background. And she does not recognize him. Not once. And yet, something about his presence begins to linger where memory should be clear. As fragments of her brother's past begin to surface in small, unsettling ways, Katherine starts to understand that distance does not always mean escape-and some things follow you quietly, long after you think you've left them behind.

Some things in life don't ask for permission. They arrive, they change you, and they leave you wondering who you were before. This story follows the quiet chaos of everyday life-unexpected relationships, unspoken emotions, and the small moments that end up meaning everything. Because sometimes, the biggest changes happen... without asking.

"You are not failing individually. You are failing together." Ari Bennett never thought there was anything strange about the way she noticed things. Until something noticed her back. A missing letter. A word that won't stay still. A moment that doesn't make sense- and then another. Then the letter comes. Now she's enrolled in a school that doesn't teach what it claims to. And whatever it does teach- everyone else seems to understand just enough to get it wrong. Mistakes don't stay small here. They don't fade. They don't fix themselves. They grow. And if you act before you understand what you're seeing- you don't solve the problem. You become part of it. "Instinct might save you once. Understanding is what keeps you alive." "This is an original work. Do not repost or adapt without permission."

They've been inseparable since childhood. Same street. Same families. Same memories. Kim Ha-eun was never afraid to say it out loud. "I like you." "I really like you." "I think I've always loved you." And every time Lee Hyun-woo only smiled, brushed it off, or turned away... as if it meant nothing. But it meant everything to her. After years of chasing someone who never looked back, Ha-eun finally decides to stop. She changes. Not completely but enough for the world to see someone new. At school, she's quiet. Gentle. Untouchable. But around him... she's still the same reckless girl he grew up with. The only difference? She doesn't say she loves him anymore. And that's when he realizes something is missing. Something he never thought he could lose. But Hyun-woo isn't the only one who's been watching. His younger brother has always seen her differently. And this time... He's not planning to stay in the background. A story about growing up, unspoken feelings, and realizing too late what was always right in front of you.

This is a crossover between Danny Phantom and The Iron Giant. When a beast of a ghost comes to the 1950's in Rockwell Maine, the monster is followed in by a glowing girl. Rumors spread quickly in a sleepy town, and the government sends a man named Kent Mansley on the terrifying case. It's so easy to cry out "Monster!" when your anomaly is a giant robot, but gets a little messier when the "monster" turns out to be a snarky twelve year old girl who looks like she's been living out of a suitcase. -Takes place after D-Stabilized, no Phantom Planet.
