Hiiiii lovely people, I'm Ghost.
I'm a little new here, but in the spirit of the cold season vibes I wanted to share a fic I've been working on in case anyone was looking for a cozy/slow read that will speed up (and get a little dark) later on.
I'll post chapters on here gradually over time if there's interest, but here's everything thats published as of right now:
As Above, So Below / Viktor x Reader / Arcane Fanfic (82,863 words) by that_salty_ghost

It's Viktor/Male Reader, so if that's not your jive no worries. Spoilers: it gets a little gay. (And super gay in chpt 10 đ)
Anyway.
Quick summary: After your parents are killed in a raid by the enforcers, you make your living by working as a barista and bartender along with some shady side hustles as Vander starts to prepare for an uprising. Viktor enters your chaotic life with a calm confidence that you're immediately drawn to. You find yourself spending more and more time with him as he preps for his admission into the Academy, but when the time comes for you to join the rebellion, your life takes an unexpected turn that neither of you are prepared for.
About the Reader [Y/n]: He/him pronouns, bi, vers, witty and still figuring life out even though he had to grow up relatively quickly. This is definitely a longer read, so if you're not into slow burns/gradual build up/etc., I'll be writing drabbles/one-shots later once I've developed a style that would fit that.
Also just a heads up: [Y/n] has a backstory/depth/history that impacts your interactions with Viktor as well as other characters. There's some OC tendencies in there, but this is in 2nd person POV so I'm not sure what to call it but just want to be transparent on that too. The only physical traits mentioned is that you have some muscles (bc plot/war/carrying kegs/etc.) and you're a smidge shorter than Viktor in the beginning (newbie mistake, you're also 18 at that time so plenty of time to grow if you're taller ayeee)

One Life for Yourself and One for Your Dreams by endingthemes
When 00 Agent Raven Darkholme manages to capture the elusive Magneto and bring him in for questioning about a dangerous arms deal involving international criminal Sebastian Shaw, itâs up to Quartermaster Charles Xavier to get him to talk. With time running out, Charles needs to convince Magneto to trust him, but theyâre both far too good at keeping secrets, and the growing attraction between them is only making things more difficult.
Dark Flowers by Niphrehdil (I made a post dedicated to this one a while back but this might be my all time favorite, so here it is again)
When Charles is captured by a secret organization and used as a weapon for searching and destroying other mutants, Erik has to go after and save him. Erik keeps telling himself he does it only for the mutant kind. At least until he finds Charles.
the way it travels in and keeps emitting light by populuxe
Charles and Erik arenât friends: their mutual dislike was both instant and enduring, from that very first day Raven introduced them. But when Charles gets into a life-altering accident, the connections between all three of them start to fundamentally shift, too.
Robbers by dsrobertson (mind the tags/warnings!!)
1933. Bank robber AU. The Bureau of Investigation are after Public Enemy Number Two, bank robber Erik Lehnsherr. Charles Xavier is fiancé to Special Agent Moira MacTaggart. A closet homosexual, Charles visits the Manhattan pansy club scene and meets Max Eisenhardt. Only as time goes on, Max Eisenhardt turns out to be Erik Lehnsherr. Public Enemy Number Two. Charles learns exactly what happens when you accidentally fall in love with a male bank robber in 1930s America.

A head pops up on the other side of Straw Hat; the last of the fading sunlight refracts off Roronoaâs earrings, winking at her. âOh,â he says, sounding only mildly surprised to see her. âYouâre here too.â
âWhat are you talking about? Whatâs going on?â
Roronoa grins. âYeah. He does this.â
Nami props herself up a little higher on her already bruising elbow. Straw Hatâs got an arm wrapped around Roronoa, same as her, pinning him to his other side.
âOkay,â Nami says, feeling her third headache in as many hours beginning to creep up. âWhat is this?â
âHow he sleeps, I guess. Been doing it since we started sailing together.â
âYouâre joking.â
Roronoa shrugs.
âWell, how do we get him to let go?â
âDunno. Havenât figured that part out yet,â Roronoa says and then, because heâs no help at all, lays back down.

Sanji is carefully placing a cherry on top of the ice cream, his hands nimble, soft, almostâgentle. But all Zoro sees is the way the hems of his pants are still soaked in blood from an earlier skirmish with a marine ship, red seeping into the cracks on the floorboard, spattering across the kitchen floor in a slow drip, drip, drip.
Zoro stares, fascinated. He canât bring himself to look away.
(Or, Zoro and Sanjiâterrible monsters, in love)

âI donât buy it,â Pete retorts. âSomeone like you? Some cook from East Blue? Youâre probably worth a couple hundred thousand bellies at best, maybe a million, if your captainâs somebody.â
Sanji tilts his head back so that it rests against the dirty wall behind him. Heâs still upright, somehow, through sheer stubbornness or spite. He doesnât look like someone who only has tonight left to live. In fact, he looks sharp. Thereâs no better word for it. His expression is still as peaceable as it has been since he arrived, but watching him is like watching a knife slide out of its sheath. He is, abruptly, dangerous. A tool made for cutting.
âIf you knew where Iâve been, you would be terrified of me,â he says.

A girl, with reddish hair and exhausted eyes and a ragged, forced smile, and itâs Koala but itâs not.

Thereâs a tightening feeling low in Shanksâ stomach as his gaze follows those long fingers wrap around the neck of the bottle, the candlelight lancing over a sharp cheekbone. Mihawk is terrifying before he is beautiful, but Shanks isnât afraid of him, and Mihawk is so fucking pretty. The dim glow filtering in through the windows is beginning to tinge warm, reminding Shanks that theyâre on borrowed time; he glances at the clock and decides. He reaches over before Mihawk can straighten and curls his fingers around the shell of his ear.
âHey.â
Mihawk stills and looks at him from the corner of his eye, barely turning his head. The bottle is in his hand, and Shanks trails his fingers down Mihawkâs jaw to take the liquor from him and set it down on the table.
âWanna bang?â

When theyâre on the forecastle, with the helm just behind them and the figurehead casting them further in shadow, Usopp calls, âRaise the sails!â
Luffyâs gasp next to his ear is the best part of his entire day.Â
The sails unfold in a great rolling crash of canvas. Even the striped gaff swings out, catching the wind. The whole sloop gives a powerful lurch as if sheâs eager to sprint out of port on the back of whatever gale blows along next.Â
And painted on the foresail, bold and bright and proud, is a grinning Jolly Roger in a yellow straw hat.Â
âThatâs mine,â Luffy whispers, hushed and awed.Â
âTold you so,â Usopp says smugly.Â

He keeps moving forward at a steady pace, resisting the urge to run because how fucking embarrassing would that be, running because he missed them, and as he breaks through the treeline he shouts, âOi, oiâwhat took you guys so long? It's beenââ
And then he freezes, because yes, actuallyâsomething is very, very wrong.

They look younger, fresher, and whatthefuck there, on the deck of the Sunny just peering over the railing, he catches a flash of greenâhis own green hairâ
âAh, fuck,â he grunts, and then immediately turns back around because no, actually, he does not want to deal with this.

Luffy looks again at the bitemarks that he left on Zoroâs wrist. Zoroâs usually hurt, one way or another. Sometimes itâs definitely been Luffyâs fault too, but the bitemarks feel different. They ainât like normal bruises or cuts. Thereâs something about seeing the shape of his teeth in Zoroâs skin. Something about the colors, the slightly paler insides of Zoroâs wrists, and the blueness of his veins, and the dark pink color of where Luffy bit him.

Luffy unhinges his jaw and crams an entire breakfast ham down his throat. He chews reflectively a moment and then demands,
âZoro, you wanna have a date tonight?â
Zoro answers by inhaling the rest of his orange juice through his nose and promptly spewing it everywhere.
âThat a yes?â

Luffy and Zoro destroy a restaurant, end up lost, get in a bar fight with a bunch of pirates and go on their first date. Not necessarily in that order.

Despite the fluid nature of his ambition, Zoro himself rarely changes: principles, directions, appearance. And when he does, he makes sure it's under the heavy influence of both long-term irritation and a healthy dose of the nearest hard liquor.
Or, Zoro is trans, surgeries cost money, and there's little to no verified adult supervision in his life.

âGod, again?!â Usopp looks down at Sanji who's sitting against a column and tilting his head back while pressing a tissue against his bleeding nose.
âShu' ub,â Sanji growls. Or, he tries to. It sounds rather unimpressive.
âYou're terrible,â Usopp says but he can't hold back the fond smile that's been blooming all over his face again and again ever since he's stepped foot on the Sunny after returning to Sabaody.

It's the big party after defeating Hody Jones. Usopp gets Sanji away from all the mermaids. (Honestly, Sanji, these nosebleeds are disgusting.)
Itafushi my babies! Hope you enjoy them fics! <3
In which Sukuna is a reluctant wingman and regrets his life decisions deeply due to one hopeless brat's exasperating pining. AKA a fic in which Sukuna hates slow burn. And existence itself.
Toji rolled his eyes. "Just tell him how you feel, I didn't raise a coward." "You didn't raise me," Megumi reminded him. Megumi was being haunted. Not by the ghosts of his past but an actual ghost. The spirit of his deceased father. Megumi gets a wingman and a father in one go.
Even though he knows that he isnât entitled to every detail in Itadoriâs life, it irks him to think there is someone that he knows absolutely nothing about. Especially someone, he realizes with a sinking feeling, that is exactly Itadoriâs type. What was it he had said to Todo? Tall, dark hair, kind of badass. In other words, exactly like the tall, dark-haired, intimidating looking man who just walked out of Itadoriâs dorm room.
5 times Yuuji and Fushiguro's dates go other than planned, and one time where they finally get it right
Yuujiâs brain feels like itâs sizzled up and died, but Megumiâs lips are a centimetre away from his own and maybe this isnât so confusing anymore, because heâs closing his eyes and leaning in too, andâ âWait, are you guys fucking gay?â Sukuna. Fuck, heâd forgotten about him.
To which Megumi comes home with a ring pop on his finger and causes Gojo to become the manchild he is.
âYou want to ruin him," Sukuna says. Maybe Sukuna isnât wrong about that, Fushiguro thinks in a daze. Itadoriâs heart is too heavy and too precious. Itâs a burden that shouldnât be given to anyone else. Because even Itadori himself canât take care of it, canât hold onto it for the life of him because heâd rather become the vessel to the most wretched of all curses just to help two people heâs only known for a few monthsâto help Fushiguro, who heâd only met that night. (I can keep it. Fushiguroâs hands move. I can hold onto it, if you want.) Orâ Some dreams start to keep Fushiguro up at night, and the cure to stopping them might be closer than he thinks.
He aches for that closeness, that touch, but he canât let himself lean forward and take it. Instead, he presses his thigh closer to Yuujiâs, letting the warmth sink into his skin five times megumi touched yuuji
Seeing Yuuji die before had left Megumi needing to feel his heartbeat to know he's alive. It's how he finds peace.
Megumi, a sharp-witted detective, wielded intellect as his weapon and compassion as his shield. With his own sense of justice, he knew not the depths of love until he crossed paths with Yuuji, a radiant soul shining amidst the grey shadows of existence. Fate weaved their destinies together, connecting their hearts with a celestial thread of unyielding devotion. CW: This has a sad ending
Itâs in the middle of scanning the last bottle of green tea that Itadori properly looks up. Eye contact with him is a physical, unexpected shock, a crunch of imaginary static snapping through Megumi and leaving his hands twitching at his sides. "Hey." Itadori blinks, wide and earnest. "Do I know you from somewhere?" The tea sloshes backwards in the bottle heâs holding. Megumi focuses on this until his vision steadies. "No," he says. "I donât think so." In the aftermath, Itadori loses his memories instead of his life. Megumi grieves nonetheless. CW: This also has a sad ending (yeah yeah I love angst)
Megumi is sent on a mission to retrieve Ryomen Sukuna's finger from a high school, which should have been an easy mission. But with his strange dreams intensifying and becoming more vivid, he has a hard time sleeping. It should be an easy mission. He is just not sure why the boy who found the finger seems so familiar. Ps: Everyday I wait for it to update like how a dog waits for his owner to come home, no warnings just wanted to let you know this fic is one of my top faves
Yuuji is a famous Twitch streamer who does streams from his college dorm. Among his fanbase, his huge crush on a random book reviewer on youtube has become a running joke. The fanbase decides to make it their mission to discover who Yuuji's mystery crush is. Megumi has a very small book reviewing channel on Youtube he started in high school. He doesn't even know what Twitch is, but Nobara keeps insisting he needs to help her find this random Twitch Streamer's secret crush. Her reasoning: the secret crush does youtube and reviews books.
