Summary
The Lackadaisy was in resurgence - clear as day for anyone who dared to care. This invited its own flavour of troubles and a slew of other revelations. Yet Atlas laid burried, his murderer still on the loose, and it was only a matter of time before the individual threads tangled together for a hellish dance. For Rocky, a stray newspaper article was all it took to alter his entire life's course, where he would be just a little less lonely - where he would be just a little less uncertain of who he truly was.
"Well, look at what the dark visage flaunts. From afar, a tall, dashing shadow beckons. M'lord, would you honor me with this dance?"
With gritted teeth, Mordecai accepted the hand. "It would be my pleasure."
Courtesy of the wayward Mr. Hartland.
Now with art included in Chapter 1.

Summary
Victor blurted out the question not long after that, no longer able to keep it inside himself. “What do you want me to be to you?”
But Yuuri’s answer was not at all what he expected.
It was, however, the kind of answer he liked. It sparkled in his mind and puzzled him enough to keep him awake that night, pondering the irony while he was sitting alone in his bedroom with the smell of ocean salt and driftwood still clinging to his hair.
“I want you to be yourself,” Yuuri had said in reply.
And wasn’t that just the funniest thing?
This whole time, Victor had been trying to figure out which mask to wear to make Yuuri happy, when all he wanted was for Victor to take it off and show him the real person beneath.

Summary
The legend went like this: The ocean had admired the sun for ages, basking in its light and luxuriating in its warmth. One day, at sunset, when it was closest to the Earth, the sun and ocean met, and fell in love, but they could only be together until the sun rose again. When the ocean could no longer stand the separation from its love, it reached up, higher than any waves had ever stretched before, and it consumed the sun whole, pulling it far into its depths. And for millennia, the world has been frozen without the sun's warmth.
Now, humanity had no choice but to search tirelessly for the sun, or face extinction, the legend their only clue to saving themselves.

Summary
In order to defeat Hawk Moth, Ladybug had to renounce her guardianship of the Miracle Box. When she awoke, two months later, in the hospital, she had lost her memories from the past ten years. She didn't know the she'd been Ladybug or anything about the Miraculous heroes. She couldn't remember meeting Adrien Agreste, or that they had been dating for years. She didn't know that she had a son. All she knew was that, for some reason, Gabriel Agreste wanted her dead and she had to leave Paris.
Single dad, Adrien, has a good life with his eight-year-old son in England until a local Shakespeare Festival causes him to meet somebody from a past he had tried to run from. Is it worth the risk to get to know her again, or should he walk away for the safety of his son?
This work is basically an ode to the wonderful Lady Bryght and her compelling and poetic stories.

Summary
On extremely rare occasions, the Peacock Miraculous creates twin sentibeings who yield to the same amok, and Emelie gets lucky.
As the twins grow up however, the Agrestes quickly learn that one is more trouble than he’s worth. They choose to separate the pair, and the problem child is hidden away.
Now that Gabriel has repaired the Peacock Miraculous but failed to retrieve the Miracle Box, he determines that a new ally for his Akumas may be the key to victory. With Nathalie rebuffing him, he turns to someone who can’t refuse him.

Marinette and Adrien struggle with the pressure of becoming Co-Guardians, a new supervillain come to make things harder for them, and Adrien’s family secrets slowly coming to light.
Alya, Nino, and Kagami all make a new, mutual friend.
(Or in which Félix and Adrien are twins, but that only makes things more complicated.)

Summary
Uenoyama Ritsuka is a bored office worker that doesn't know what he's doing with his life. Nothing seems to excite him anymore and his sister says that he's probably depressed. She suggests that he switch up his life a bit, and when the opportunity comes knocking he decides to take it.
This story is a sort of retelling with slightly aged up characters. No relationships to start with (aside from Yayoi and Kouji), but will eventually live up to its tags.
Also, I will shamelessly be geeking out over music in this story. That is technically what Given is about. You have been warned.

Summary
“Why are you helping me?”
Viktor was silent for a while. “Your skating makes everyone watching feel the love you have for this sport,” he then said quietly. “It has the power to revive a heart that has withered away. It’s what drew me to you.”
What is he saying? Yuuri blinked, trying to process the words. “But I thought you love skating, Viktor.”Sochi, 2014
Figure Skating legend Viktor Nikiforov knows that these winter games will be his last, for not even the magic of the Olympics can melt the winter in his heart. Having just suffered an embarrassing defeat, anxiety-ridden Katsuki Yuuri scrapes together the pieces of his confidence for the men's individual event. Neither of them could have foreseen the sudden turn their stay in Sochi takes when Viktor watches Yuuri’s group practice.
As the pair gets closer, Yuuri and Viktor realise that their encounter has brought to life more than new passion for the sport they love, and their Olympic dream is no longer the only dream they share. But what happens at the Olympics, stays at the Olympics—or so the saying goes.Bookmarked by NotPrez

Summary
Marinette stood in the center of her own room. The pink walls were adorned with sketches and photos, and other unfamiliar souvenirs of her life. Her eyes jumped curiously from a hand made purse to a bowler hat decorated with a feather to a cork board covered in pictures of her friends.
She loved her room. Which made sense, she supposed. She had theoretically been the one to decorate it, but she didn’t remember decorating it. And now, the room was like a cave filled with treasure.
Because each little piece of it held a secret - some part of herself that meant something to her, a clue to what her life had been like before…
Before she had woken up in the arms of a boy wearing a magic black catsuit. His heartbroken sobs had caused something in her chest to twist painfully. She hadn’t understood why then, but from that very first moment she knew she had wanted to make things better for him.
She had no idea how to do that now that she understood what she had lost.
Sixteen years worth of memories.
The echoes of which were papered onto the walls and notebooks of her room just waiting to be rediscovered.
No one else seemed to share her excitement.

Summary
“He’s dating me,” Nino said, taking Adrien’s hand in his own.
Adrien could only stare back at him in shock.
“How dare you all force him to come out?” Nino continued, glaring at the reporters. “That was disgusting.” He pulled Adrien over to the car, guided him in, and shut the door behind them.
In the relative quiet and privacy of the backseat, Adrien finally processed what had just happened. “So… when were you going to tell me we were dating?”

Summary
Nino looked at the number and didn’t recognize it. Usually he wouldn’t answer, but he had nothing better to do – and could still really use a distraction – so he did. “Hello?”
“Hey, Nino.”
Nino stood up quickly, chest tightening. He knew that voice. He’d been waiting to hear it again for over two years. “Adrien?” he whispered.
“Yeah. It’s me."

Summary
Adrien had been a lot of things in his life. A model, a celebrity, even an actor in ads and campaigns. So when he suddenly drops out of it all to become a child care attendant at a local fitness center, more than just his father are shocked. However, bringing his life back to Paris has reacquainted him with some old friends. Specifically Marinette, who had changed quite a bit over the years since his times with her in lycee. Her hair falls down to her shoulders instead of always in her signature twin tails, her words are graceful and she isn't afraid to look him in the eye, and oh yeah, she has a child.
