Summary
It's been seven years since the Murder Drones arrived on Copper 9. The Worker Drone population has only survived thanks to underground bunkers that have since become sprawling communities. Uzi Doorman doesn't consider that living, though. How can everyone be content with surrendering their home? Since losing her mother to those monsters, striking back has been at the forefront of her mind. But no one else seems to believe in her dream of a Copper 9 free of Murder Drones.
Whether anyone believes in her or not, Uzi is determined to see her vision through and sets out on a perilous journey that brings her face to face with the boogeymen of Copper 9 and forces greater than she ever could have imagined.

Summary
Z, a burned-out retail employee with a chip on her shoulder, and Noctis, an ambitious inventor with something to prove walk into a landing pod...
A few Swap AUs are already floating around, though the ratio of art/stories is skewed significantly in favor of the former. As someone who finds the idea irresistibly adorable, I figured it was only right to make Liam proud and use my power as a writer as irresponsibly as possible.
This story aims to balance canon events with my interpretation of events between episodes. Expect cannon to be altered or disregarded in some places, though I aim to stay as close to the show's original image as possible without simply retreading old ground.

Summary
Uzi's blighted gift, however abstract and draining, may just be the only hope she still has.
It wasn't made for her, but maybe she was meant to have it. In any case, she wasn't one to let a tool in her kit go unused. Not when so many things needed fixing.

Summary
Warren's memories begin with the death of his sister. Her body split in half, her eyes flickering to red. Though many years - and fifty-cal bullets - have turned his luck around, closure isn't quite at hand.
The last Murder Drone has vanished. His very last target. That's a problem an anti-matériel sniper rifle can't solve.
It's a problem that might haunt him forever.

Summary
The trauma of transformation leaves scars much deeper than a drone's plastic shell -- deeper even than mangled insides twined with flesh. Though N was made to forget, V wasn't. The frame-by-frame image of her hollowing, her kenosis, is burned into her drives; not just her body torn into something else, but being forced to watch N go through the same.

Summary
One cannot define grief as a solid entity; It shifts and changes like the tide, rising and falling, waxing and waning. Its unexpectedness rips off a layer of one's life like a band-aid, and an exposed underbelly is never pretty. J is no exception.

Summary
The horror of a promise to uphold and the pains of Understanding the unknown. We who swear find ourselves staring down the barrel of a gun, asked if the price to pay will cow us now.
He falls from grace with the weight of an oath broken.
She agonizes over a vow demanded without ever knowing its cost.
A mask to hide the pains taken to see bond fulfilled.
The final gasps of a woman born through pledge unspoken.
She who lives in the shadow of a child taking more than she knows.
And they who bind others in covenants of stone.
In retrospect, they should have thought longer than they did.
_Action Hero! XI will be posted TBD.

Summary
In the hushed whispers of dawn, the sky, an azure expanse, serenades a creature whose wings have known the cruel bite of shears. The wind is a tender lover to downy feathers no longer bound by the earth's unyielding grasp, coaxing it to leap into the embrace of the horizon.
The siren’s call is irresistible, but the shadow of the ground looms large, a delicate balancing act on the razor's edge between the familiar nest and the vast unknown.
Thus, the bird lingers.
(A nuzi fic centered around healing from trauma. Takes place before the start of Requiem—not required reading but will make the experience more enjoyable)

Your Classic “Noble Falls in Love with Village Girl” Story, as Told from the Noble’s Point of View by Mythic_And_Co

Summary
Marcy blinked at her, confused. “You don’t know?”
“I really don’t,” Sasha replied dryly.
“The Night,” the black-haired girl said it so quietly Sasha had to strain to hear. “It watches over the village. It keeps us safe from outside threats, but… it’s hungry.” She sighed. “As long as everyone stays inside when it gets dark and keeps the lights on, it’s fine. But if they stay out…”
Sasha blinked. “So there’s some kind of freaky night monster terrorizing this place?” The name sounded awfully familiar, something she’d learned about from stories her older siblings would tell to scare her, but the context of what exactly it was eluded her.
Marcy shook her head. “It’s more complicated than that. It used to be quiet, but…” she trailed off, “it isn’t anymore,” the girl finished in a rush.

or: Sasharcy in the DEEC AU is a bit more complicated than we thought.

Summary
This might just be one of the most eventful days in Hopediah Plantar’s long life. First, the toads arrived in town, only for them to come to his door claiming he hadn’t paid his taxes (which he was pretty sure he did). Then they tried to take his snail for compensation, like heck he’d let them take his beloved Bessie! Then he got arrested for assaulting a Toad Tower deputy, just in time for his grandson to get back home.
Now, when Sprig grabbed his little sister and yelled he’d ‘get help’, Hopediah had not expected him to return with the largest apex predator in all of Amphibia.

"She was just a kid. He had enlisted a child as his second-in-command. That was unethical. Sure, she was no pollywog, but four limbs an adult does not make. "
Captain Grime comes to the realization that he kept a 13-year old in jail for a month or two. How was he to know, that the look of fear and disgust she first gave him was not that of a downed heron, but of a scared tadpole?

All things considered, it should have been a normal evening (well, as normal as it gets when an egg, a hyperactive son, and a large unknown biped are raised under one roof).
Instead, it turned into a nightmare for everyone involved.
