Summary
BLU Sniper and RED Scout have had an interesting run of things, but when Scout takes the jokes and harassment a little too far, things finally snap and Sniper finally cracks under everything. What starts out as a tit for tat style of killing each other, eventually spirals out into something much, much, worse and so much darker than either one intended. Not really meant to follow comic canon at all so think of this as it's own little self contained bubble.
Inspired by this fanart. https://www.tumblr.com/multimandy6/823265114788642816/toxic-yaoi

Summary
A young mage from the College of Winterhold inadvertently and most unwillingly finds himself involved in an ancient vampire prophecy about the end of the world. He and the pureblood vampire Serana form an uneasy alliance to search out and stop the prophecy - if they can pretend to trust each other long enough to do what must be done.
Part 1 of "Dark Skies and Dragonfire," dealing with the events of Dawnguard. Part 2, "Black Wings Unfurled," covers the main quest arcs. Part 3, "The Jaws of Oblivion," is in progress and deals loosely with the events of Dragonborn.
Lore-friendly, but with lots of world-building.

Summary
Dragged from everything they know by an ancient surge of magic, Laxus, Freed, Gray, and Natsu are thrust into a world that doesn’t understand them—and they don’t understand it. Magic works, but rules are different, humans are confusing, and crumbling apartments and thrift shop disasters await at every corner.
Surviving the city is only half the battle. Old bonds are tested, tempers flare, and laughter—often chaotic, sometimes inappropriate—fills their tiny shared space. Friendships will be strained, hearts might be stirred, and the line between bickering and something more dangerously close will blur.
In a world that isn’t ready for them, the real challenge is figuring out life… and each other.
