Forget-Me-Nots by TopGun101

Summary
He lies on the floor, gasping, surrounded by flowers and blood. The ceiling is white. The flowers are blue. The blood is red. It's almost pretty.
Alex laughs, and it comes out sounding like a sob.
———————————-
The flowers started small. Forget-me-nots blooming in Alex's lungs, born from unrequited love and loss. Everyone's dead or gone, MI6 uses him like a tool, and Alex is drowning in blue petals. He won't tell anyone. Won't seek treatment. He'll just keep dying quietly between missions.

Summary
Perfect bodies are a thing of myth. Models and celebrities pose for pictures just to become airbrushed and photoshopped. People take steroids and die in surgery just to get a bigger arse or some ribs removed. Meanwhile the media is always painting something as looking wrong, a stomach that isn’t flat enough or thighs that touch when walking. They don’t even bring up disfigured people at all, it’s easier to just pretend they don’t exist.
Or Alex Rider is insecure of all the scars on his body and Tom makes him feel better.

Definitely Not Daddy Issues by hypnodisc

Summary
It’s a story about family - if your family tree is a wreath of lies, your family dinners involve plutonium, and your family car is a burning Air Force One. In which Alex Rider’s emotional support animal is repression, his love language is paternal abandonment, and his tragic dad collection is now accepting applications from terrorists, billionaires, bureaucrats, and one (1) extremely hot Russian who keeps dying inconveniently (not to mention the terrifying MILF in Louboutins.)
Daddy issues speedrun with a happy ending.

Summary
At this point, Alex did not hesitate. The assassin clearly knew the SCORPIA building inside and out, and could guide them to safety – away from fire and trigger-happy goons.
Heading of in a rush, the teen was very shocked to quickly find himself at a dead end. Yassen appeared by his side, slamming his fist on a button, before turning; pistol aimed towards where they came.
At a familiar ’ding’, two silver doors slid open.
”Get in.”
Alex did not move. He simply stared at the small metal box; taking in the tiny compartment as the two doors were fully opened.
At the hesitation, Yassen grabbed the neck of the teen’s shirt and pushed him in.

Margin of Error by Noctifera

Summary
Alex Rider has a maths quiz at nine, a football match at four, and a former assassin making him dinner in the meantime. It’s not exactly normal. But it’s close.
After escaping the absolute disaster that was MI6, SCORPIA, and one extremely traumatic tropical holiday, Alex has carved out a new life in Geneva with Yassen Gregorovich - his one-time would-be murderer, now part-time soccer mum. Alex has friends, a school ID that probably won’t flag him on a government watchlist, and a near-complete immunity to green vegetables. Yassen, meanwhile, is learning the joys of kale, folding chairs, and passive-aggressive parent-teacher nights.
But paranoia is a hard habit to break - and when a stranger from Yassen's past shows up, everything starts to crack. Because Yassen is acting jumpy. Alex is having flashbacks. And someone has just installed a surveillance camera above their door.
Which is never a good sign.
Now Alex has to figure out whether this is a false alarm or the beginning of something worse. Like, say, a return to international espionage. Or emotional vulnerability.
Possibly both.

Summary
One more death shatters the normalcy of the Pleasures' kindness in California. Alex Rider is sick of people dying because of him, so he does the only thing he can...he becomes someone else.
19-year-old Matthew Smith successfully passes Selection for the British SAS and joins L-Unit, but not everyone seems to appreciate his company...at first. Maybe these people he swore he wouldn't get close to will become the family he needs...unless his enemies are closer than he thinks.
Includes K-Unit and Original Characters in L-Unit--K-Unit will appear around Chapter 16 or so (that's a ballpark) but I plan for this to be VERY long, so they're a very integral part of the story!
This has received a lot of positive feedback on another site, so I hope you'll give it a try :) thank you!

Summary
“I’m leaving MI6.” Alex gets pulled into his uncle’s arms as he says the words Alex himself had uttered so many times before to no avail.
It’d be real awkward if Ian left MI6 for him only to realize Alex was already working for them.
REAL awkward…
Or, Ian Rider is alive and Alex makes it his top priority to keep the fact that he’s working for MI6 a secret as revenge.

it's fine. everything is fine.

Summary
Alex knows a spy when he sees one. The man who stands before him should be nervous, hand twitching for his gun, now that he’s face-to-face with his mission for the first time. Alex knows the man’s a spy because he recognises the dead-eyed face that stares back at him from the mirror each morning.
There is a spy on Port de Pollenca, and he is going to take away everything Alex has managed to scavenge from the wreck MI6 made of his life.
Or
The Night Manager AU: Yassen is semi-retired and has semi-adopted Alex. They are guests of Richard Roper (billionaire with suspicious origin of wealth) while Yassen finalises his role in what he claims is an agricultural equipment company. But Alex wasn’t trained as a spy yesterday and knows that not all is as it seems. His suspicions are heightened by the appearance of a mysterious stranger on the island.
The stranger - a British spy, if Alex ever saw one - has infiltrated whatever it is that Yassen has gotten himself into. Now it is up to Alex to get them both out and away before they lose everything Alex is so desperate to keep.

Summary
Alex Rider curses the day he was born, he should have been stillborn, it would be easier to die but he isn’t even allowed near sharp objects. He isn’t allowed outside without heavy supervision and he’s been dirty for so long that he believes being clean isn’t something he’s allowed to feel. He isn’t even sure if people remember him.
One in seven missing people end up being human trafficked. It’s a statistic that he learnt from Ian however long ago. He didn’t envision himself ever being a missing person, growing up in Chelsea there were cameras everywhere and every step was traceable. He became a missing person in central London - the most surveillanced city in the world.
Or one day Alex Rider disappears

Summary
Next was a musical number, and I grit my teeth at the irony. It was a short skit-cross-dance to Hall of Fame. I’d be in the Brookland Hall of Fame alright. Forever my memory would be etched in the minds of my peers as the kid who lost his way after the death of his uncle.
'So much potential', they would say, 'he could have done great things'.
OR Alex is in for a surprise at graduation...

Summary
John Rider was many things; a dead spy, an infamous traitor, someone who’d trained the world's best assassin and Alex’s own father. He was- most assuredly- not a god. So why was there a man with goat legs talking about Greek myths on Alex’s doorstep.
