CHALLENGE FICS, MISCELLANEOUS WORKS, AND ONESHOTS

Okay, right off the bat, there's no way I can individually link and describe all of my oneshots. There's too many. Here's what I can do:

Link all of my fics that came from tumblr asks / other prompting methods

Link all of my BTHB fics (I do have a second card that I'll bring back eventually for prompts from tumblr)

Link all of my Afohiko (All for One x Gran Torino) fics, which is mostly oneshots

Link my Whumptober 2023 fics, which are all oneshots. No, not all of them have been posted yet, but IT'S GONNA HAPPEN

Link my Febuwhump 2024 fics, which are MOSTLY oneshots. No, not all of these have been posted yet, either, but they WILL

Link my Tim Stoker is Entity Catnip series, which are all fics where Tim gets picked up by different Entities. Mostly oneshots

Link my Year of the OTP 2025 fics, which is an ongoing series that won't just focus on one ship!

There are more oneshots that are not in any of these series-es! This is because I'm constantly on that oneshot grindset! They'll be found in their respective fandom categories.

MY HERO ACADEMIA

MHA is my most written-for fandom. If you're exclusively in one of the other fandoms on this list, I apologize for the scroll in advance. This section is in alphabetical order, by the way.

Incomplete Fics

the gremlin zone - Your garden-variety group chat themed crack fic. It's centered around the Todoroki siblings, and also I'm halfway convinced that it's sentient. The plot goes without my consent. Don't ask what's going to happen in its future because I know just as much as you do

how to live with yourself - Fuyumi killed a guy when she was 13. That's it, that's the premise, except for the fact that it's slowly revealed that there may be more to this AU than just that. Some people have their secrets, and it's only a matter of time before they all come out one way or another.

in love i've always been a mercenary - Shimura Nana harbors a fugitive who's trying to go legit, except for the fact that the fugitive is All for One's ex-husband and there are some details that just don't add up quite right.

One Loop at a Time - Your garden-variety time loop themed crack fic. This one has slow updates; I have this awful habit of writing one chapter of a thing and taking forever to continue it, and this fic is a victim of that AND its chapters are long as hell. If you're willing to deal with that, it's a time loop where each member of 1-A (and possibly more!) is slowly brought into the loop, and they slowly go from "normal 1-A" to "crack 1-A" as the loop keeps. On. Going.

(please) don't go alone - Eraserhead and Present Mic are secretly married. This would remain a secret, if it weren't for the fact that Eraserhead seems to have vanished into thin air.

Sins of the Father - Midoriya Izuku is the son of All for One. This means that he's All for One's most prized possession, in addition to his own personal attack dog. There's no hope of escape, and even if there were, would he even deserve to take that opportunity?

some heroes wear masks (some of those masks are stolen) - Midoriya Izuku is quirkless, jobless, and completely down on his luck. Mom's bills are only getting higher, while Dad's contributions and her paychecks are only getting smaller. There's an offer for anyone available, a huge payout for whoever takes it, except that it comes with the territory of being a villain. Izuku needs that payout, but he can clear his conscience while he's at it.

Too High to Fall (Let's Fly Instead) - Touya is twenty four years old, and he's a paramedic. There's no such thing as the League of Villains, but that doesn't mean there's not a bunch of villainous bullshit that involves him eventually. The thief Hawks, for instance, is a nuisance that just doesn't know how to quit.

We all fall apart - Touya and Fuyumi were both trained by Endeavor to be heroes. Both of them are dead. Natsuo desperately wants to protect Shouto, Shouto just wants him to live a life for himself, and neither of them are okay. The Todoroki family is a wreck, and to top it all off, there's no way in hell that Dabi is anything human.

Incomplete Series

The Phantom of Shinomori Prefecture - Fuyumi is the Baby Driver of this AU. She's also in contact with Dabi. Endeavor has a ton of fancy cars that he doesn't drive, Rei's a Russian immigrant, and Touya and Fuyumi both drive like maniacs.

the todofam-plus-izuku's adventures in vigilantism - Izuku decides to be a vigilante. Natsuo is an established vigilante. There will be more of them.

Complete Fics

All the eggshells are on the ground - Oneshot. Villain Gran Torino and Hero Shimura Nana. They're... kind of a thing? She can fix him

And so the gods were pulled down from the Heavens / And so the gods were pulled up from the Earth - Oneshot. Something about old gods?? I don't remember tbh I wrote this a long time ago. Funky narration tho

Blackjack - Oneshot. Touya knows how to count cards. He still remembers it years later, when he goes by Dabi instead.

Dabi and Eraserhead talk it out, I guess - Oneshot. Kind of a glimpse of an AU in which the League is actively defecting from Sensei, and they're trying to surreptitiously cut as many ties as they can before they have to be loud about it.

The Inconstant Nature of Hatred (it's a spark, it's a flame, it's a dying ember but it's not gone yet) - Oneshot. Dabi character study, also from a long time ago. He thinks on his situation, just before he gets the call to join the League.

Sharpened Teeth (Won't Be Broken) - Oneshot. Toga Himiko meets a responsible healthcare provider who follows child protection protocols!! Amazing!!

so long as it lives - Oneshot. Pre-canon, canon compliant, pretty much a look at Gran Torino right after Nana died.

a quirkless, hopeless unromantic - Oneshot. A quirkless Izuku AU set just post-canon, when Izuku and everyone are about 21. Izuku graduated from the Support Course with honors, but can't find a job in the industry due to quirkless discrimination. Tododeku.

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES

TMA is my second-most written for fandom, and before you ask, no I have not listened to Protocol yet. You will know when I do, trust me. Again, this section is in alphabetical order.

Incomplete Fics

fireworks (and their ashes) - Tim is a Desolation Avatar, and post-Unknowing, he Becomes and then he abandons the Archives/Institute. Jon wakes up from his coma and everything kind of goes to shit? It gets better. Mostly.

Jonathan Sims Is Dead In The End - So you know how "The Archivist goes back to their S1 body and does time travel fix-it from there" is a whole genre of TMA fics at this point? Yeah. This is that. Except the Archivist isn't Jon, and the original timeline is nothing like our original timeline. Also, the ending isn't all that happy, in case the title didn't clue you in already.

the unofficial adventures of the unofficial archive group chat - Your garden-variety group chat themed crack fic. Archival assistants start a group chat, uncover a conspiracy, and act terminally stupid, not necessarily in this order. This is another fic that I'm half-convinced is somewhat sentient. I don't have any input on this plot

Watchers - Tim Stoker is an unwilling agent of Beholding. This is set before the Unknowing, so a big learning curve is happening for both himself and Jon. Also, I'm still taking bets on what the endgame ship is going to be, because I know myself well enough to know there will be a ship but I have no idea who's going to be involved in it.

Complete Fics

Elias Bouchard: Post-Mortem - Twoshot. Jonah Magnus decides to possess some loser Elias Bouchard, except "some loser" Elias apparently had some secrets that even Jonah isn't in on.

Goodbye, from a Human Monster to an Inhuman Beast - Oneshot. Annabelle Cane waits for the apocalypse.

lying in wait (waiting for nothing) - Oneshot. Written for AU roulette, with the AU prompt "Ghost/Haunting."

an offer of an alibi and an indictment - Twoshot, statement fic. In which 2013 goes very different for both Stoker brothers- or, well, mostly Tim.

tim stoker's right to die - Oneshot. In which committing suicide falls under the umbrella of 'quitting,' and is therefore not allowed in the Archives.

HAND JUMPER

Incomplete Fics

Battle of the Blades!® - Planned to have seven chapters. Sports AU, in which Sayeon Lee is a famous hockey player, Ryujin Kang is a famous figure skater, and they're both on a reality show where they have to step into each others' skates to win the grand prize (money and a trophy)

big dreams don't mean anything - Sayeon Lee is a recent law school graduate, and even more recent recipient of a passing score on the bar exam. She's getting the job she always wanted, that as a prosecutor, and one of her first ever jobs is as assistant counsel for the case against the aberrancy tester she bribed into letting her keep her blue peace card.

bleeding poison - Sara Lee was living evidence of the Sea Wolves' strength. Sayeon Lee is living evidence of their weakness.

i think i should be afraid - In which Sayeon Lee is allowed to finish making her deal with the godling, and everything goes in every direction.

TMA/MHA CROSSOVERS

Yes, this specific fandom crossover has its own section. I'm afraid that it's terminal.

Incomplete Fics

Closed Doors - Todoroki Rei is a Lukas on her father's side. This has had a marked effect on the Todoroki family. Additionally, some other suspicious things are afoot, and Japan is becoming more dangerous by the day. Nobody is safe from the games being played by those in the shadows.

The Series (!!)

These Statements Certainly Have Their Quirks (Main Series) - The Series. When I refer to "my crossover verse," this is what I'm talking about. Jonathan Sims thinks that something's going down in Japan, so he takes Statements from prominent individuals who may be involved.

TMA/BNHA crossover brainrot <3 - The exact same as the above, but this series also contains bonus content and AUs directly branching off of the above AU. Hence, it's marked as incomplete, so that I can keep writing bonus Statements and things even though the main series is complete :)

Complete Fics

Red Spatter - Oneshot. Statement of Todoroki Touya, regarding his younger sister. Blood/violence warning

Replacement (The Grape Needs to Go) - Oneshot. Mineta is replaced by Shinsou. I mean this very literally.

Shadow's Call - Oneshot. Statement of Uraraka Ochako, regarding recent power outages at her high school.

MISCELLANEOUS OTHER CROSSOVERS

Still terminally, incurably obsessed with crossovers. There will be more in this section! I have a MHA/Tokyo Ghoul crossover in the works! It's going to be actually started when I don't have so many WIPs but there will be more!! (Edit: more crossovers showed up without my consent. I am working on the aforementioned MHA/Tokyo Ghoul one, though.)

Incomplete Fics

another version of me, i was in it / i wave goodbye to the end of beginning - My Hero Academia/Batman crossover. Going to be honest, I mostly wrote it because it was one of very few prompts in that crossover prompt collection in which I could write about all fandoms involved. Jason Todd reincarnates as Shimura Tenko AU.

i have the loneliness you left me - My Hero Academia/The Edge of Sleep crossover. In which the events of the Edge of Sleep- you know, the nightmares and the "everybody who was asleep all dies at once" thing- occurs at 4:13 AM, Musutafu Local Time.

Incomplete Series

ghoul tim ghoul tim - TMA/Tokyo Ghoul crossover, in which Tim Stoker is a ghoul. The rest of canon proceeds as normal, until it doesn't.

smiles for the damned - Heavy AU, heavy enough that I'm putting it in the "crossover" section. Three-part TMA Hunger Games AU, currently on Part One: The Sowing. No Hunger Games characters will be appearing in this fic, but it is set in Panem

Complete Fics

hell isn't hot (not when the cold is so much worse) - Oneshot. Goncharov/TMA crossover, written in- you guessed it- November of 2022.

I've got you / Under my skin - Oneshot. Unwind Dystology/TMA crossover, written mostly because I could. Hayden Upchurch is an Avatar of the Web, and if you know who that guy is, you understand a very particular kind of mental illness that this series inflicted upon me when I was a child.

Complete Series

Jonathan Sims Is Dead In The End:

Currently 8/60 chapters. Last updated January 7, 2024. The Archivist, Sasha James, is sent back in time all the way back to when she first started this job so that she can prevent some- but not all- of the tragedy that would eventually befall everyone in the Archives.

fireworks (and their ashes):

Currently 2/? chapters. Last updated January 3, 2024. Tim Stoker survives the Unknowing, starts committing arson, and eventually makes out with Jon but like in a slow burn kind of way. A really slow burn kind of way.

Currently 1/? chapters. Last updated August 27, 2023. There's a mysterious time loop that, at first, only contains Deku. Then it contains Deku and Kacchan. Then it contains a lot more poeple.

Jonathan Sims Is Dead In The End-

The Magnus Archives

last updated february 28, 2023 on a major cliffhanger
