Summary
Alternate take on the post-fishing scene/CH20, where Rocky saves Grace and Grace returns the gesture by saving Rocky and exposing himself to superheated ammonia.
Blazing hot ammonia flooded the airlock and dormitory. I slammed the airlock door behind me and spun the lock. Hissing erupted on the other side, loud and violent, but I couldn’t see anything anymore. Can’t even breathe.
The ammonia had hit me straight on. No cover. No shielding. Certainly no glasses on my face to protect my eyes even a little. Just superheated ammonia directly to the face like the universe personally decided I’d gone too long since I’d last suffered five minutes ago.
I’m screaming, I thought. Or maybe gurgling. Hard to tell when my throat felt like it’s being flayed open from the inside. I hit the floor hard, writhing as fire tore through my lungs and airways. Every breath felt like inhaling knives.

Summary
The last thing Zelda saw was Rook falling—swallowed by the golden light of the mysterious stone.
She awakens above the Cloud Barrier with a decayed Master Sword and an unknown voice guiding her. Rook is gone, and worse still, she soon learns they have been separated by fifty thousand years.
Navigating the challenges that come with being the Hero, Zelda must traverse a changed Hyrule as she embarks on a journey to uncover the contingencies Rook left behind. As she seeks out the new Sages, she must prepare to face the growing threat of a resurrected Demise and the malevolent forces gathering in his wake.
But while Zelda fights for the present, Rook is trapped in the past—drawn into the very war etched into the ancient murals beneath Hyrule Castle.
Then, add in the arrival of the Chain, who are wholly unprepared for the world they have stepped into.

Summary
[‘bury a friend’ AU set in Season 3B]
Thomas has never had a normal life. Kidnapped, experimented on, and turned into a werefox, he escaped WICKED with his pack—only to be torn away from them just as freedom was finally within reach. Now in Beacon Hills, Thomas is trying to keep his head down and pass for ordinary. But in a town crawling with the supernatural, that was never going to last.
But when Newt and Minho unexpectedly arrive in Beacon Hills with Minho’s family, something else arrives too: a pair of feuding Kitsune. Of which Thomas is caught in the crossfire of—and becomes something far worse than a bystander when the darker spirit, the Nogitsune, chooses him as its host. It doesn’t leave. It doesn’t destroy him. It, dare he say, likes him.
And as Thomas begins to change in ways he doesn’t understand, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the Kitsune the Nogitsune is hunting for revenge… is Minho’s mother, and the reason might just be justified.
Now, caught between a spirit that won’t let him go and a feud he never asked to be part of, Thomas is running out of time to understand what’s happening to him before Noshiko might get the chance to kill him for harbouring the Nogitsune.

Summary
[Sequel to 'bury a friend']
Thomas’s senior year resolution: no monsters, no mayhem, please and thank you.
Beacon Hills answers with Theo Reaken.
Theo—childhood friend, probable liar, walking red flag—returns asking to join Scott's pack. Thomas calls BS. While Thomas's own pack unequivocally trusts his instincts, Scott’s too-trusting nature threatens to drive a wedge between him and Scott.
Meanwhile, Void starts teaching Thomas what he actually is. Spoiler: it is definitely not normal.

Summary
“Sorry, bud. It’s going to be a hm… a bit of a pickle to keep me alive.” Grace chuckles.
“Eridians build whatever Grace needs." Rocky chirps. ”Food that taste good and other stupid needs. Grace no worry. Stay alive and happy, Rocky make sure.”
Grace nods, but that familiar fear is creeping up on him. The one that visits him when his head hits the pillow, that makes him feel like he's just stalling the inevitable. It's silly.
All he has to do is not starve on the way to Erid. Then he'll be the only human on the planet. For the rest of his life. Which is not scary at all.
