Summary
Don’t go to the bay.
It’s wild and scary. It will lure you closer with its blue depths, then reach out and drag you under. You’ll thrash and scream until your lungs fill with the ocean, until your eyes go white with salt water and your body stops moving. It will eat you whole, spit out your bare bones and ask for more.
Don’t go to the bay.

Summary
Executive Chef James Flint can’t quite place the feeling of familiarity he experiences when John Silver, the worst cook he’s ever met, weasels his way onto the kitchen staff at The Walrus & The Carpenter. South Beach Miami has always been a melting pot ready to boil over, but with the pipes literally rotting beneath their feet, past horrors creeping in again, and new ones encroaching on the horizon, Flint finds himself forced to confront his own demons as he and a staff of immigrants face down an authoritarian regime threatening to tear their community apart. For ten years, he and general manager Eleanor Guthrie have overcome every challenge, but Silver also has a past that could send Flint’s entire existence into a tailspin.
*I’ve updated this summary to better reflect the reality of what this story has become. It’s no longer a fluffy comedy. While it’s still going to have comedy in the mix, I want to be honest about the heavy themes that have developed here. Because this started as a rant about my real life work woes, it began without a plot. Now that I know where it’s going, I feel the previous summary was a bit disingenuous.

Summary
For the first time in his life, Shouto Todoroki thinks he might be happy. Freed from his father's rule by the hand of his husband and now king, Shouto finds himself swept up in his lovers' embrace, the impending threat of a powerful necromancer and his undead pet with a grudge little more than a distant anxiety easily ignored for the miracle that is being loved by Katsuki and Izuku, and watching them love each other. But, as he feared, such happiness can't last.
The Todoroki kingdom has fallen, sending its monarchs retreating to the mountains for shelter and aid. With the Todorokis unseated, Katsuki finds the threat of war on his eastern border more dangerous than ever before. A mad man has taken the Todoroki kingdom and he won't rest until the whole world lies broken at his feet. Tomura Shigaraki must be stopped, but the new alliance forged between the barbarian conqueror and the disgraced flatland king is tenuous at best. As tensions mount, Shouto finds himself trapped between two levees-- on one side, his kingdom, his blood, and his legacy, on the other, his lovers, his home, and the family that made him theirs. And he has no idea where he will be standing when the floodwaters break.

Summary
Shouto loves cars. Engines of all kinds really. He loves them for their simplicity. For how they were not up to interpretation. When something goes wrong with an engine there’s a finite number of things that could cause it.
Shouto hates people. He hates them for all the reasons he loves engines. Something goes wrong with a person and the list of things that could be the cause is infinite.
He makes one exception and it fucks up his whole life.

Summary
Shouto never really intended for anyone to find his secret Twitter account. He certainly didn't intend for Kaminari to see Shouto's thirst tweets about him. Luckily, Kaminari doesn't seem to mind.

Summary
“I’ll do it.”
Enji froze, fingers curling into a fist at his side, and didn’t turn around.
Shouto froze too, feeling his own eyes widen in shock at the words that had come out of his mouth, at the fact that he had actually stood up, followed his father out of the room, and dashed after him all just to say… he’d do it? He would do it? Him. Shouto Todoroki. He would--
Enji finally turned around and fixed Shouto with an expression so scathing, Shouto had to fight to keep his chin raised. “You’ll marry the Barbarian King.”
Shouto blinked. “Yes.”

Summary
Tall, blonde, clean-cut, mid to late thirties, the man who turned up at the piercing studio was very much not Levi’s usual clientele. Levi catered primarily for the more hard core end of the market, not causal enquiries.
“I’d like to find out about getting a piercing.” The man’s voice was deep, pleasant, but a little strained, trying too hard to be matter of fact.
“Uh huh?”
“A genital piercing.”
Ok, this was getting more interesting.A gratuitous Modern AU. Levi's the piercer, Erwin's the client and Hanji is quids in.

Wall of Death by LostCauses (Anteros) for Ajaxthegreat

Summary
The funfair had been Hanji’s idea.
“Ooh look!” they yelped excitedly, dragging them towards a large cylindrical structure that looked like a cross between an overgrown carousel and a small circus tent. Above the red and yellow tented roof arched a gaudy sign with the words Motordrome Wall of Death illuminated in bright lights. Outside, a tall lanky man with a long black coat, a battered fedora and a voice like gravel was yelling into a megaphone. “Roll up, roll up for the one and only original Motordrome Wall of Death!"
A modern AU one shot.

Summary
“I said stop it,” Hux commands. “Stay in your own head, you petulant child.”
Kylo shakes his head. “I don’t like it here,” he says.
Hux grabs him by the chin again and forces his head up. “You made that world,” he whispers. “And you will live in it.”
