Summary
Heavily inspired by the Secret Level episode and Astartes. Titus and a psyker-in-a-box, except the psyker also turns out OP because all my protagonists must be OP.
Also inspired by Loricatus Flagro which is an awesome fic you should all go read it.Bookmarked by Reluctant_Simp

Summary
A genius from the Dark Age of Technology gets teleported to 30k and fixes all sorts of shenanigans through the power of SCIENCE. Lots of techno gibberish. Not only science fiction but also fictional science. You have been warned.
I don't know if this counts as AU but there are some canon-divergent background settings and timeline alterations. There is some romance but it's mostly not about romance.Bookmarked by Reluctant_Simp

Alastor pays a visit to an elusive overlord who managed to monopolize the pharmaceutical industry of the Pentagram under the nose of its oblivious denizens. He wasn't expecting to reacquaint himself with Rosie's little wallflower from all those years ago.
Nor did he expect to find you quite so charming.

Summary
Your grandmother was run out of New Orleans for being a witch. Decades later, you’re heading straight for the Crescent City. When a suitor turned up dead in your small hometown’s church graveyard—without you so much as touching him—the whispers grew too loud to bear.
In the 1930s, a clever woman can make a living speaking to the dead, and New Orleans is a city where spirits are always eager to talk.
But one voice rises above the rest—smooth, dangerous, drawing you in like a song you can’t ignore. He might be something worse than the devil Mama warned you about.
The dead may have called you here, but he’s the one who’s keeping you.

Summary
They call you Maeve the Maneater. Maeve the Mindfucker. You're the top dominatrix in the Pride Ring, and your latest assignment—retrieving a memory from Vox—should be just another game of manipulation. You've been hired to break him, and you're more than ready to deliver justice to bad men.
But your first mistake is studying the Radio Demon, Alastor, to understand how to unravel Vox. What starts as a calculated move soon turns into something far more dangerous. As Alastor interferes for his own twisted amusement in your hunt for Vox, the lines between hunter and hunted blur. Caught between two powerful demons, you’re drawn into a storm of power, lust, and dangerous emotions—one that threatens to strip you of more than just control.
He tastes like industry. Brutality. The closing of a good day at the stock market.

Summary
Most people don't need an ancient Sumerian ritual to summon their estranged husband, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
The residents of the Hazbin Hotel will need archaic forbidden magic to protect all of Hell from destruction. These pompous modern overlords have forgotten the ways of the elder ones, but they'll learn the hard way from the woman who won her freedom from an ancient demon and got him to put a ring on it. Amicable separations are for mature adults—and nobody is more mature than the woman who was once offered as a human virgin sacrifice, thank you very much.
You just need the Radio Demon to stop sticking his nosy antlers where they don't belong. He is burnt sugar and bad intentions, and baby, you've seen it all before.

Summary
Does Lieutenant Simon Riley have, like, a handler's manual? He should. He needs one. At this point, you're convinced the 141's Ghost has some sort of moon-based mood indicator that is also entirely dependent on what the mess is serving for lunch and if Philip Graves has opened his mouth more than three times that day.
You'll write the manual if you have to.

Summary
“Can’t decide if she’s brilliant, or a liability.”
“Might be both,” Price offers, looking far too entertained by the prospect. “You remember that massive breach the CIA had, about fifteen years ago?”
Ghost nods—he’d seen the headlines when it happened; listened to the higher-ups around him whinge about the odds of MI6 being next. It hadn’t meant much to him at the time, but now…fucking hell. He’d certainly never anticipated that what the world attributed to some unidentified hacking collective would be the work of a girl who looks like she still gets carded at the pub.
“That her idea of a job application?”
“Closer to flicking the v,” Price smiles—less at the joke, Ghost thinks, than the strained admiration he can feel leaking into his voice. “Kept pushing intel through their firewalls until someone finally read it.”
“Someone, being…”
“Put her on Kate’s radar.”
“As a terrorist, or a potential hire?”
The captain grins at him around his cigar. “Shades of grey, Lieutenant.”
She’s a curse. He’s a corpse. Somehow, this is a love story.

Summary
[A story that is the perfect sweet spot between an irreverent, darkly comic POV and quiet alien ritual soul bond story.]
[Updates Thursdays Bi-weekly]
Max expected a mundane animal behavior consult when she was called down to a research station in butt-fuck-nowhere-Texas — maybe a rogue military mutt, tops. What she got was a seven and a half foot tall beast of alien muscle radiating the energy of someone who's fought gods — and possibly won.
As the only person within five miles with common sense, Max is shoved into the unlikely role of accidental co-conspirator. When her new 'assignment' busts out, he brings Max along for the ride — whether she likes it or not.
What follows isn't just a galactic fuck-up. Mutual apprehension spirals into uneasy trust, a cultural collision, and a growing connection that neither of them knows what to do with—or wants to admit. They both realize quickly that they've bitten off more than they can chew: Max, with a creeping suspicion that she might be the biggest pervert ever; and her companion–kidnapper, learning the hard way that humans are, hands down, the most annoying creatures in the galaxy.
Turns out, the scariest part of first contact is catching feelings.

Summary
A narrow escape is nothing unusual. There had been many in Lar'dha's career--from walking into his own trap as an Unblooded, to nearly losing a leg to a camouflaged crocodilian creature--but he'd never escaped death with a companion before. At least, not with a companion who wasn't a Yautja.
Her skills were undeniable, certainly, and rejecting her request to hunt the mastermind of their suffering wasn't something he was keen to do--it was personal, after all--but the question remained: what now? Even as an Elite, he didn't really know how to work together in a team anymore, effortless as it had felt at the time. But now it was different.
They could communicate. Coordinate.
Express themselves legibly. And that usually caused him conflict.
Nevermind he was noticing some... Strange and concerning behaviors in his companion, the serpent woman, Sjajende'kolii. Her containment had been much longer than his, her afflictions more intense and he could only guess as to what she'd been subjected to outside the walls of the holding cell, but if he knew anything, it was that even Yautja were not immune to certain... Traumas. They simply got used to it.
But she was not Yautja.

Summary
You weren’t subtle, Ghost just never said a word. Not when you stared too long. Not when your body gave you away. But when insomnia and nightmares drive you into the gym at 2AM, his patience finally snaps.
What starts as a quiet training session turns into something darker, hungrier, and far more dangerous- because Ghost doesn’t need words to read you. He only needs body language.
And yours is screaming.
