unhealthy coping mechanisms

The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough. Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new? Or, In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world. ...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo. [gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]

“You’re obsessed, huh?” “Absolutely, indefinitely obsessed.” “Good,” he said, feeling unusually bold all of the sudden, “we make a good pair, ‘cause I’m obsessed too.” A tale about human nature. Remus is an aspiring author, tasked with writing a book about the up and coming, wildly popular band, The Marauders. Sirius, front man, immediately dislikes him because he doesn’t want his life exposed, pried at by some stranger. Stranger becomes friend, friend becomes more. A love story told through music of the time, emotions disguised in lyrics, metaphors, colors, and the attitudes of struggling people.

On the first day of university Nakahara Chuuya catches a strange boy who falls down the stairs. From that moment on he is whipped.

As one of the richest and most influential women in the whole country, Furina de Fontaine has it all: money, fame, and power. However, there’s one thing her money cannot buy – pure satisfaction. She felt hallow – and in order to fill the emptiness in her… she seeks for people who can satisfy that void. One day, she met a lone orphanage owner: Arlecchino – a mysterious director. Enthralled by Arlecchino's beauty and added with an unexpected accident, Furina gave Arlecchino a deal – a deal that the director couldn’t refuse. An Arlefuri Sugar Mommy/Baby AU where Furina is mentally not okay so she copes by spending (she's so me)!! No smut because I want FLUFF!!!!!!!!! Set in modern Teyvat with NO elemental powers whatsoever.

The Golden Guard has been raised in the Titan's image all his life. He has always striven to fulfill His will, as told by His Mouthpiece, his uncle. Life has not been easy, but he's never expected it to be when following the righteous path. And then he and his uncle are captured. Separated from Belos, the Golden Guard will do whatever it takes to free him so they can return to fulfilling the Titan's will—even if it means playing along with a "therapist" and giving himself a "name" and attempting to make "friends;" he'll do whatever it takes to get their guards down. The only problem with this plan is that he wasn't expecting to like going along with his captors. [Or, another Hunter-is-raised-in-a-cult-and-then-gets-rescued-while-Belos-goes-behind-bars AU, except this time the cult is in the Demon Realm.]

(MINORS DNI)(BE VERY PRETTY AND READ TAGS<3)Not long ago, you and Vox had a fling. It didn’t last long, short lived for you but he acted like a pissy baby about it. Whatever, until you heard about a ‘Modeling call’ to the Vees tower, leading you backing into their lives but now into Valentino’s life. Val always watched you from afar, never getting close for Vox sake, but now, what’s stopping him? And you practically lead yourself straight to his trap.

At first, Sukuna couldn't tell what was wrong with the body of his vessel. But something didn't feel right. Then he gathered control a second time, and oh. The Brat was dying of some kind of illness. And even using the reverse cursed technique didn't fix it completely. Well, it wasn't Sukuna's problem, was it? Or so Sukuna had to repeat himself. Because why was the Brat not doing anything with that? Was he stupid? He was going to die! Or: What if Yuuji was deadly sick and Sukuna was the only one who knew.

Working for Jungkook isn’t the same as working for Hoseok. For starters, Jungkook doesn’t smile, he doesn’t appreciate you, and he gives you too much work. It doesn’t help that he’s incredibly handsome and has women at his beck and call. But as the tension grows, it becomes impossible to resist him. You’ve dedicated yourself to your job for 8 years so when you finally decide to put yourself first, he asks you to reconsider. And while you know that leaving is difficult, you learn that when it comes to Jungkook, staying is always so much harder.
