Summary
In which the creature garners a title (protector), a name (Adam), and a purpose (you).
𓇢𓆸
“I am not frightened of a man with scars,” you said honestly. “I am frightened of a man with malice in his heart. And you, Adam, are simply devoid of that.”
“I have known rage like no other,” he shook his head. “You continue to defend a monstrosity such as I, yet you have no knowledge of the terrible acts I have committed. Of what I am.”
“And what are you?” you firmly asked.
“I am the child of a charnel house. I am dozens of men, morbidly torn apart in death and stitched together into life. I am not human. I am something much, much worse.”
“You are kind,” you stated simply.Bookmarked by Thatbirdbabe

Summary
As an anatomical archivist at the University of Ingolstadt, you’re no stranger to long nights alone with dust, bones, and the lingering memory of your dead friend Victor Frankenstein. But when you uncover a set of his long-forgotten notes, the quiet of the archives turns uneasy...and something stirs in the rafters above the records room. Something that watches. Something that listens. Something silent, patient, and impossibly attentive.
Apparently, not all of Victor’s secrets were buried with him.

Summary
Red sky at night, shepherd's delight. Red sky at morning, shepherd's warning. Red optics trapped behind glass in an empty pizzaplex? Probably also not a good omen.
You're hired at the newly-rebuilt pizzaplex as a janitor, and spend your days cleaning already clean halls in preparation for the re-opening. It’s boring. That is, until you find a weird door and an even weirder room, and make a friend in an unlikely place.

Summary
There is a whole lifetime of memories stuck in your head from a life you never lived─ fragments of grief, flickers of joy, and a love that feels too real to be false. But the closer you stand by Verso’s side, the further you drift from Renoir’s cause. And the truth you were never meant to remember.
The game told through your eyes: half-remembered, half-refracted.

“Take what you will, Exarch. I wouldn’t stop you.”

Summary
Weltschmerz- German, literally "World Pain", mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state.
No matter how gilded the bars and how fine the food is, there is no denying that you are a bird in a cage.
He allows you the polite fiction of free will with the knowledge that you will always return to him. You have no choice, a collar around your neck, and soul firmly in his grasp. At times you love him and at others, you want to rip out his still-beating heart to cast it into the void.
You love him, hate him, love him, hate him.
A tale of forced captivity, depravity, and the art of getting better with a little help from friends.

You live in a far off land and Viktor does the hextech equivalent of buttdialling you. A tentative partnership ensues.

'"You should come again tomorrow night!" Says Lia, "It's Rolan's turn to cook next, and I need an impartial third party to tell me who's better. I'm certain the boys made a deal behind my back to always pick each other."

You don't try to contain your laugh.
"Same time tomorrow, then?"'

Summary
Life was a lot easier when you and Simon were just stupid Grad Students, dreaming what life would be after you got your degrees.
Life was easier when plans didn't include a two year gap in your studies, spent working minimum wage and desperately applying for programs your friends seemed to breeze into.
Life was a lot easier before you lost half a millennia of time, too.
Life was so much easier before you stumbled into that same stupid Grad Student, now a doctor, Antiquarian, and a tortured old man...maybe you could help make his life a little bit easier. Help things make sense when they hadn't for a very, very long time.
Or:
Simon and the reader are college buddies who grew apart, only to both miraculously survive and grow closer after he's freed from the crown.This happens instead of the events of Fionna and Cake! So while there might be references to events from the series, essentially the reader intercepts Simon before he can do anything too drastic.

Summary
A year has passed since the Snap. As you look to find a fresh start in life, you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. A small cult dedicated to the newly revitalized Norse religion chooses you as a sacrifice with the belief that this will give Thor and the other gods the strength to undo what Thanos has done. What you don't know is that human sacrifices come with a powerful magic — those who are sacrificed become linked with the god they have been given to.
It's been a millennia since a human was sacrificed to one of the gods. You've been bound to Loki.

The reader is a servant that doesn't like things how they are and isn’t the biggest fan of following the rules, and is mainly there for the food and shelter that come with the job. And they both want more out of life.

Team 'Weekend Trip to Asgard' by OrangeChickenPillow

Summary
When Bruce invited you to a quick weekend getaway, you'd hardly expected your destination to be Asgard. Just like you'd hardly expected to be accompanied by two gods -- one of whom you're convinced hates your guts. But who would have thought that the God of Mischief has a thing for flowers, a talent for reciting Shakespeare, and knowledge of all the best places for stargazing? Certainly not you.
But in a weekend filled with sunny fields and boisterous feasts, with accidental skinny dipping and drunken magic tricks, you would begin to realize all the different ways Loki could surprise you.
