    Summary

    So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create. Tells her that if the numbers and the shapes and images in her mind hurt so bad then she should build them, should give them form so that they can finally leave her alone.

    Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.

    Or

    Toni Stark grows up with the tale of Icarus swirling in the back of her mind. Instead of taking it as a precautionary tale about hubris and overreaching she decides it's more about the limitations of wax.

    Years later when she builds herself wings of her own she makes sure to build them out of better material.

    Summary

    Zoey doesn’t know how long she stands there in the middle of her room, gawking at the notification flashing at her screen.

    Well, notifications, plural. They’re back to back on her home screen, right under all her social media notifications of people showering her with likes for today’s breakfast.

    Ryu Rumi sent you $250.00
    “For lunch! Let me know if you need more xo”

    Kang Mira sent you $501.00
    “lmk if she sent more than 500, I can double it lol”

    Zoey loudly declares, “What the HELL?”

    Or, broke college student Zoey goes viral for her revolting college meals—and rich girls Rumi and Mira find a little pity (among other things) in their hearts for her.

    Ch 19, my personal favorite KPDH fic, a lot more fun then you’d expect with super solid writing (and just a metric ton of angst)

    Summary

    Bella, 20 years old and a freshman at University of Alaska Fairbanks, has dark secrets she's not ready to tell, and a past she can’t seem to escape.

    Tanya, who has waited 1000 years for her mate, has something to say about that.

    AKA the one where the Swans and Denalis collide in surprising ways. This story is about Tanya contending for the love and acceptance of her mate, and Bella finally facing her demons. And, just maybe, everyone will learn a little something about what it means to be family along the way.

    Summary

    Bella notes first Rosalie’s scowl. It’s as though her face was made to assume permanent dissatisfaction. Her eyes are mean and her stance is tense and rigid, poised for attack. Rosalie notices Bella’s scrutiny and snarls. Literally. She bares her teeth and hisses and everything.

    Bella is in love.

    Rosalie then makes sure to share her snarl equitably across the entire pack, making Bella feel considerably less special.

    Bella speaks. “Nice to meet you guys. You seem weirdly close for siblings. Is incest a vampire thing?”

    OR

    Bella is 23 when the Cullens settle in Forks. She's also a shape-shifter. A very gay shape-shifter.

    Summary

    In the supernatural world, Nancy Wheeler was something to be feared. Something to be whispered to little monsters and overzealous creatures as a nightmare around the corner. “Don’t get too out of line, or Nancy Wheeler will come and get you.”

    The primal, wolfish part of Robin was terrified of Nancy. The human part of her - in its stupid, useless, pathetic lesbian fashion - also knew she was super fucking hot.

    aka

    werewolf!Robin/monster hunter!Nancy, and the absolute disaster that ensues because of that
