Summary: Kairi, Sora, and Riku are Heroes working under the auspices of The Defenders of the Light. The organization is ostensibly dedicated to fighting threats both mundane and extraordinary, as well as scientific research into the superhero phenomenon. In practice, it’s also devoted to marketing, with the Heroes it employs becoming some of the world’s biggest celebrities, and their battles a form of entertainment. As the organization teases a new conflict, one that could be especially dangerous for Riku, and corporate control tightens, Kairi has to face the realization that her employers do not have her best interests - or those of the world - at heart.

Summary: Sora has always wanted to believe in mermaids, longing for there to be something more and exciting out in the world. He's been disappointed by supposed mermaids before, the costumed models never living up to the one genuine sighting he believes he had.
When a carnival advertises their "Real Live Merman", Sora goes to see him... and is horrified to discover that the carnival does have a merman, the one Sora saw once before, and worse, he's clearly being held there against his will. Then a mermaid comes ashore, bent on rescuing the one held captive, and Sora decides that he'll do anything he can to help them both.

Summary: In order to buy a political alliance that could get her officially crowned, Princess Kairi has to bring a partner on a diplomatic mission. Her fiancé, Sora, doesn't care for the spotlight, and is terrified of messing the opportunity up for her. They come up with the perfect plan - their mutual friend, Riku, can pose as her partner for the duration of the mission. He's far more well-acquainted with the social expectations for the royal consort, and is close enough to her to make it seem completely natural.
In the interests of ensuring they don't compromise the friendship between any of them, they set a few ground rules. Rule No. 1: displays of affection in public only.
Handling themselves in public is surprisingly easy... it's turning the affection and attraction off when in private that becomes the problem.
And as the stakes of the mission itself grow higher, that's far from the only inconvenient complication...

Summary: Settling into his new home on Destiny Islands isn't going quite as smoothly as Riku might have hoped. It's hard enough for a vampire to establish themselves in a new territory, even under the best of circumstances. Harder, when he discovers that apparently the islands have their own pair of monster hunters. Not to mention that the unknown creature in the shadows seems like an increasingly dangerous threat, especially as more and more humans disappear without a trace. When the disappearances turn to bodies with bite marks deliberately framing Riku for the killings, it seems like any hope of a peaceful existence in his new home is beyond his reach.

Summary: Sora is cursed by a warlock to become nameless and forgotten by anyone who knew him. Hoping to find a way to lift the curse, he finds Riku - known as "The Heartless Sorcerer", a man rumored to devour hearts - and Kairi, Riku's contract-bound fire-spirit. Sora strikes a deal with Kairi: if he can help her out of her contract with Riku, she'll help him with his curse. Soon it becomes clear that Sora may not be the only one operating under a curse... and Riku's could possibly be deadly if nothing stops it.

Summary: Riku was the first to see the mermaid. Just a flash of scales, out between the waves, there and gone in less than a breath. Easy to miss if you didn’t know what you were looking for, and most people didn’t.
So Riku was the only one to see the mermaid, and he was terrified.

Written for the SoRiKai discord server's Fairy Tale Event
Posted in October of 2020
Summary: SoRiKai retelling of Gold-Tree and Silver-Tree.
Once a year, on the longest day, when the sun was highest in the sky, the Seeker of Darkness knew he could ask a single question of a mirrored pool in the forest. The oracle that lived in the water would answer him with perfect truthfulness.
Every summer solstice he traveled alone to the forest, through the golden trees, to the hidden oracle, to ask his single question. And every year, he asked the same: Dear oracle, powers lowest and high, who is the one that will cause me to die?
For all the power in the world, or in all the worlds under the sky, would be worthless in death.
When the oracle reveals that Riku is fated to kill the Seeker of Darkness, Riku fakes his death and escapes across the sea. But the oracle can still see him there, and the Seeker will not allow him to escape.

Summary: The only thing Riku's parents have ever valued him for is his potential as an artist. But when he starts drawing the figures and places from his dreams, they don't approve, wanting him to focus on something more prestigious. As his home life deteriorates, Riku continues to dream of the autumn lands. Soon the place he dreams of, and Kairi and Sora within it, start to feel more like home than his 'real life' ever did.

Summary:
"In memory of the sixty seven who died of illness and now sleep beneath the lake." -The Rosewater Memorial in Silent Hill
The town of Silent Hill has long been known for strange events. In 2016, a virulent illness tears through the town, progressing rapidly through an array of horrific symptoms before the patients die. Worse, it has no identifiable cause. Epidemiologist Anna Garcia is sent to record everything she can about the sickness, in the hopes of tracing it to some point of origin, or discover something to combat it. She finds far more to the history of the town and its strange past.
