Summary
"The manuscript edit of the first Linguist sent to Erid from Earth. Alongside narrative re-imagination of content of "Findings", the relatively unseen interview notes direct from Rocky the Eridian."
Note to Editor: This summary is awful and reads like teen-lit. I would prefer something a little more professional.
Consider: 'Eridian and human relationships are markedly different. The relationship developed between Dr. Ryland Grace and Rocky and later Dr. Grace, Rocky, and Adrian differs greatly from human connotations of 'friendship.' This essay intends to explore these the relationship between Dr. Grace as a way of understanding Eridian relationships and seeks to find comparable human relationships."
Note to Author: Far too academic, the reader wants to get to know you better. Try adding more evocative language.
Note to Editor: No.

Summary
The small Yukon town of Ptarmigan's Roost is isolated and cut off from the rest of the country. Snow and ice reign there for eight months of the year, and when a virus begins to spread through the locals, your team of humanitarian doctors are called in to help. Everything is as expected until one night a strange, giant man attacks your team, and you realized that following your oath as a healer may be more challenging than you anticipated.
This fic is inspired by RobotWapiti's superb "Human" series (see Notes) and is based in the same world. As such, the Tyrant in this fic is not Mr. X (despite the tag, AO3's tags were limited), but is a similar T-103 model.

Summary
You left your home with the intention of finding yourself, but you instead find yourself roped into a scheme involving mind flayers and dead gods. While confronting these forces which threaten the world, you have to confront how you feel about yourself and your mysterious guardian who looks like you-or someone you used to be.
This story follows Theodore Wordsmith, a College of Swords Tav. I am mixing together some Homebrew content from my DnD campaigns, Baldur's Gate Faerun, and the TTRPG Faerun.

Summary
Recording a year's worth of content with Jaskier on top of his other tasks is daunting enough. Geralt isn’t entirely sure why he agreed, but he’s here now. Signed in for an entire year. At least hanging out with Jaskier isn’t awful, not that he’d tell him that.
Making cheese with Jaskier, however, is awful.
Jaskier is a semi-famous gaming and music youtuber. Geralt picks up odd jobs at various places. Yennefer dominates the makeup guru scene. It’s life.
This is a modern youtuber AU. More specifically, this is an Unus Annus AU. Unus Annus belongs to Markiplier and Crankgameplays, and you can check out the videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg.

Summary
Leon should have listened when he was told to stay away from Raccoon City. Now here he is in the Raccoon Police Department fighting for survival against horrible monsters beyond the imagination. Yet there is one monster here, perhaps the most intimidating of them all, that has captured his curiosities in a strange way. Perhaps it is its sheer power, perhaps it is its oddly human mannerisms, or perhaps it is those empty eyes, windows to a seemingly unreadable soul. Whatever it is, he isn’t quite willing to accept the true nature of his intrigue.
