Fanfiction Masterlist

You feel the goosebumps rise up on your skin as you step out onto your apartment balcony, the chilly November air hitting you as you close the door behind you.

You haven't been able to sleep all night...

No matter how much you tried to fall asleep, you just couldn't...

Not with how worried you are about your long-term fiancé Keigo Takami, otherwise known as the Number 2 hero in Japan, Hawks, as you know, he's on a dangerous mission where he has to infiltrate the League of Villains.

Before he had left, he had told you not to worry about him.

That he'll be fine, and when the mission is over, he'll make his way back to you, safe and sound.

With how long you've both known and been with Keigo, you know that he can take care of himself if it comes down to it.

But...

This is the League of Villains we're talking about...

If Hawks is found out as a spy for the Hero Commission, he's done for, for sure...

At that thought, you can't help but sigh out gently, your breath forming as a small puff of fog.

'Please be safe Keigo...' you think as you stare up at the moon for a moment before turning away and walking back inside your apartment to try and get some rest.

Muted Serendipity Drabble

4. Chilly

Arthur had invited Dawn for a drink, knowing she needed a distraction. It was clear as day that her mind was clouded with worries and he genuinely wanted her back to her old self. She was hesitant, knowing his womanizing tendencies. But, even she recognized his honorable behavior beneath his casanova mask and could trust him. He even knew of her two-drink rule. It was a chilly night, with the wind stronger than usual. As they walked, Arthur removed his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. She looked perplexed at the gesture, but he just smiled and walked on.

fandom: arcane pairing: caitlyn kiramman x vi for @thedrabblecollective's challenge

Damn, it's freezing up here.

Despite the sun's radiance over Piltover, their nights pass as chilly as Zaun's. Ignoring the chatter in Vi's teeth, she continues to stand on the balcony overlooking the glittering lights below the Kiramman estate. Can't stop, really, because even if she can't stand Topsiders? Vi can't deny its beauty.

Something heavy drops on her shoulders. Sidelong she spies the corner of Caitlyn's lips tug at the side as she manuevers beside her, arm pressed to arm.

"You're entitled to my wardrobe, you know," she muses.

Vi huffs with amusement. "Feels better when you gift it."

Wherever You Are So Am I

Pairings or Characters: Dean Winchester Category: General Rating: PG Warnings: Mild language Title: Wherever I Am So Are You Author: yellowhorde Notes: This was written for the November 2025 writing challenges over on Tumblr – Nostalgic November by @monthlywritingchallenges The Drabble Challenge by @thedrabblecollective Day 04 – Faded Polaroids/Chilly

Dean Winchester wasn’t ready to face the morning. It had been a long, bloody night and he was tired.

And yet that damned alarm clock was screamed at him. Just after 9am.

“It’s too early for this shit,” he mumbled, and viciously slapped the alarm into silence.

He stood, shivering in the chilly morning air before pulling on a robe, intent on jump-starting his day with a hot shower. And coffee.

Dean plodded his way across his bedroom and to the desk.

Smiling down at the Polaroid propped against the old-fashioned lamp, he murmured his customary greeting.

“Good morning, Mom.”

Day 4 - Chilly

(Ao3 link)

Outside the tents in the mornings always felt chillier than it actually was. Bonnie's big brother told her it was because the inside of the tents got warmed up by having people in them all night, so the morning only felt colder than it actually was by comparison. But that didn't stop the mornings from being chilly, especially during the darker months when the sun wasn't there to heat the air in the morning.

It was the only part of travel Bonnie really didn't like, but being back on the road again with her big brother was totally worth it.

Sweet (Mundane) November

Fall is here and with it is the chilly weather and autumn colors we missed when we were overseas. Well, we had chilly weather; it’s not like Afghanistan doesn’t get cold in the mountains. But there was no pumpkin carving, no homecoming dances, no big football games. That one person in the neighborhood who’s early with their holiday lights and decorations.

Things I used to think were stupid, or that I didn’t even believe in. I’m drinking them in greedily now. I think John isn’t seeing it the same way, but I’m grateful to still have my silly, wasteful life.

Prompt: Chilly

She held her sweater tightly against her body. The thick woolen coat was keeping out the chilled air as Rachel stood at the bus stop. The wind was relentless, her long hair blowing across her face no matter how many times she tucked it back. Jesus Christ it’s cold. Her coat didn’t seem as thick as it once was, and the cod was slipping in.

“What?” she felt a brush against her arm.

An elderly woman had appeared beside her, she squeezed Rachel’s arm softly and said, “Do not worry my dear, it is all a part of the process.”
