Summary
Momo is your average sophomore-almost-junior in college, just searching for her dream man. Okarun is hell-bent on leaving his sad history in the past and reaching for the stars. Neither expected fate would bring them together, nor set them on the path of hunting down alien invaders and teaming up with local ghosts.
Mature rating for canon-typical violence and college-aged shenanigans.Honestly this was just an excuse to put team Momokarun into haunted places around my home state, inspired by how many times Momo says "wicked" in the English translations. I'm sure you'll all be able to tell how I watched X-Files too young.
Manga spoilers in later chapters (mainly character intros), which I'll tag very clearly. -

Summary
“Hold it, hold it!” Pete cut in loudly. Lucius made an angry noise at this. “What is this? Are you trying to trick me? Where’s the killing? Is this a kissing book?”
“Will you please try to practice some patience?” Lucius seethed.
“Well when’s it get good, babe?”
“I’m getting to that, babe, if you’d let me keep reading.”
Edward had no money for marriage, so he packed his few belongings and left the port to seek his fortune across the sea.
It was a very emotional time for Stede.
(“I don’t believe this,” Pete groaned.)- - -
Lucius reads his boyfriend his favorite book, and inserts their friends and crewmates as a way to keep his attention.
Inspired by my best friend and I having covid, and our ability to quote the entirety of The Princess Bride, I give you this AU.
Pretty much follows the plot of Princess Bride, with a few additions to make sure I got all the crew in there and to keep characterization. Rating for copious amounts of swearing, some steamy kisses, torture, and a sprinkle of depression/self-loathing.
7/2 Update: Chapter 20 is pure smut, but given it's just one chapter I'm keeping the overall rating Mature. See chapter notes for more specific tags.

Summary
Momo Ayase wants nothing more than to join the roster of her grandmother's wrestling promotion, but Seiko is insistent on keeping her behind the scenes as a Talent Relations Manager. It is only when she meets nefarious heel Turbo Granny's grandson, Okarun, that they hatch a scheme to help her achieve what she's wanted her whole life. Can she juggle her desk job, her alter ego Lady Phantasma, and her less-than-appropriate feelings for Okarun?
Probably not, but damned if she isn't going to try.

Summary
Caleb and Essek settling down in Nicodranas and building happiness together, making the most of the time they've been given.
This will be a mid-length multi-chap of a year in the life of wizards in love. I'll promise right now that we're not getting angsty in this. L*fespans will be mentioned, it's inevitable, but it's not going to be featured, because they are trying to live in the here and now, dammit. Nobody breaks up, nobody dies. I am simply not strong enough for that. Only good soft happy fluffy things.
(E rating for Chapters 2, 4, 6, 8, if that's what you're here for. 90% of these tags are for Chapter 4.)
