Summary
Anon is discharged from the Navy in the Pacific Northwest, choosing to avoid going back to Volcaldera at all costs. With a small government severance and no funds to go anywhere else, he’s stuck in a coastal town much smaller than the one where he screwed everything up.
Content to keep to himself and fade away in the small town of Crater Cove, a microraptor at the only diner in town seems obnoxiously opposed to letting him. Maybe this fresh start is the second chance he needs to do things right.
… and the raccoons look kind of weird, but that’s probably nothing, right?

Summary
They spoke for the first time during a literature lesson in the following academic year. The young Wayne approached her desk and, in an even voice utterly devoid of intonation, declared:
“You’ve taken my seat.”
Lane raised her gaze dispassionately and, in the same tone, replied:
“Then find another.”
An expression of genuine astonishment flickered across his face — so comical that, had she possessed a little more strength for bickering, she would certainly have laughed. Instead, the girl conciliatorily pulled her bag from the adjacent chair — as if to say, sit down, if you’re so desperate.
Or
The story of Lane Winters and Damian Wayne over the course of many years.

Summary
No one in town seems to be able to figure the new farmer out. She is a little too strong, definitely strange, but also beautiful. Sebastian is certain that she is just another person he will come to avoid, but she keeps showing up with her foxlike grin and little gifts. She might stare off into space or use her watering can at awkward times, but she still must be tired from overworking herself at her office job. There is no way she could be something else.
Or is she something not so human?

Summary
A flyer. An audition. A number—42—that feels less like a place in line and more like a lottery ticket out of poverty. For Alastor, walking into Morris Studios is an act of desperate hope. Surrounded by a cacophony of competition, he waits his turn, clinging to the memory of his mother's face. But when the moment comes, the polished performance he's prepared crumbles. In its place, he offers something far more vulnerable: a simple, tender song, sung without pretense. The man behind the glass doesn't just hear a voice. He sees a worth Alastor has never been allowed to imagine. And in a single, life-altering handshake, everything changes.

Summary
Izuku isn’t considered normal by anyone's standards. He’s been this way since he was born. Children are always a bit of a wildcard–they say silly or strange things and sometimes see things that aren’t there–things adults usually write off. Despite all kids being naturally odd, some still get singled out and ostracized by their peers or adults. Izuku is no exception. He’s the freak always talking about a door–like there’s not millions of them–but his doors are different. They’re something people can’t quite make sense of.
Or
In which Izuku is kinda weird and unnerving to others. His own mother doesn’t even like to be around him. He’s quirkless and more than fine with that. He doesn’t want to be a hero anyway. The only thing that gives him comfort in a world he doesn’t understand is a supposedly impossible door and the space that lies beyond it. Well at least his fascinating childhood friend is there for him.

Summary
It had been years since they saw each other. Velma left first, and then one after another, they followed their own dreams.
But years later, another mystery, in the form of a dead body sitting in the morgue, brings them back together. And while they know how to handle the mystery, handling each other requires an entire skill set they have all ignored since the end of high school.
Guilt-ridden glances and poorly executed reconnection dances between them. But hope does, too. Hope that they can find each other again, amongst the unnerving clues, melting reluctance, and the things that listen from the trees.

Summary
“You’re so predictable.”
Scott didn’t jump because Jimmy has never been able to successfully sneak up on him. He glanced up from where he was crouched behind a hedge ‘trimming’ it. Coincidentally, Aide B was across the garden from said hedge asking a knight for advice on combat.
“Am I?”
“You’ve betrayed me.” Jimmy said in the same sullen tone. “I tell you this man is suspicious, and you crush on him.”
“I’m not twelve, I don’t crush,” Scott scoffed. “Last I checked, it’s not illegal for a man to appreciate other men.”
“It should be,” Jimmy said, just to be petulant. “At least for you.”
“Then you’d never get any attention."
or; Jimmy doesn't like the new doctor. There's more to him than meets the eye, but he doesn't know how to prove it to everyone else. Also there's this really annoying bird that wont leave him alone.

Summary
Your brother has always been flighty. The type of person who would pick up your call from the depths of a cave in Kentucky on a random Tuesday, only to be halfway across the country by Wednesday on the lookout for the next big Bigfoot sighting. So no one really bat an eye when he disappeared into the woods of New Mexico with a flashlight and a dream of hunting down the ‘Deadwood Wardens’, yet another mythological legend you didn’t believe in that he felt was his 'destiny' to prove.
But then he stopped calling. And it turns out the woods were a lot scarier in person than in the photos.
With the help of a local who knows the woods like the back of his hand, you should be out of here with your stupid brother in no time! Not that you were worried or anything — after all, it wasn’t like those campfire stories of men in wide-brimmed hats coming to steal the souls of unsuspecting trespassers were true. It was only a coincidence that Jimin, your friendly woodsman, wore a hat just like the ones taped on your brother's wall....right?
