The Beast of Hexley Lake by scythematters for A_Door

Summary
Wearing sensible shoes and with a raincoat bundled up in his backpack together with a voice recorder, an underwater camera, three notebooks, and a packed lunch, along with various other paraphernalia, Jon sallied out into the October drizzle in search of the Beast of Hexley Lake.
He didn’t expect to find the Beast immediately, of course. Cryptids were notoriously shy in general, and water-dwellers even more so, given that they tended to live at the bottoms of lakes and the deepest parts of the sea and thus were not terribly accessible by humans. So it came as quite a surprise when he stopped off in the local post office to make enquiries and was met with a look of mingled surprise and pride.
“Oh aye,” the woman there told him. “That’s our Martin, that is. Never heard of anyone taking an interest in him before. They’re all off up Loch Ness way.”
*
Cryptozoologist Jonathan Sims has finally gained funding for a field study of the Beast of Hexley Lake. He doesn’t expect to fall in love with the Beast along the way, but these things happen. Right? Right??

Summary
From the eyes of Mary Elise, you may not leave the Pelican Room.
That is the first thing the girl learns after waking in a place that should not exist. The walls shift, the residents are trapped in a silent, mindless loop, and the rules—always the rules—are stapled to her door, whispering their warnings. But Mary Elise isn’t like the others. She still thinks. She still remembers.
For now.
The Tall Man smiles as he guides her through rooms filled with forgotten souls—golfers who never finish their swings, children who speak to creatures that aren't there, and a girl who carves eternal smiles into her skin. And always, always, the Watcher stands just beyond the window, waiting. Watching.
The Pelican Room is endless. Time twists, memories decay, and escape is a lie wrapped in the promise of hope. Even if she forgets everything, even if her mind frays into static, she will always see it—the ever-present pelican.
Because no one leaves the Pelican Room.
No one.

Summary
Hey, would you like to hear a story?
Yes, this is Midoriya Izuku's tale!
Oh no, it's not the one of him becoming a great hero. Nope, not him becoming the villain either. No, not even a vigilante. No, we don't have dadzawa over here. No, neither All Might Bashing- Can you let me explain before you ask questions!?
Ok, where was I?... Oh yeah! This is the story of Midoriya Izuku, a boy with big dreams but no power in a world where they became the norm and be-all-end-all. Yes, this is a sad world, really, one where most love to put him through the grinder for sadism dressed up as character development, addiction to fluff, revenge, and power fantasies, or just the good ol' smut. But this story? You see, this story has one purpose and one purpose only.
I want to bring some Elation to your lives :)

Summary
She belly flopped onto the roof- no style points, but it worked. Besides, there would be no-one around to see at this time of night.
She was forced to revise that option when she looked up into a pair of glowing white eyes. The silhouette they were set in looked almost human.
Her breath was stolen from her chest when wings snapped open, blocking out the moon.
“Another? Like me?”
Shadow struck from those blackened wings, wrapping around her wrists and ankles, binding her tightly. The bag was snatched from her back and alarms started to blare from below.
The creature… the-the Bat-Man chittered, then vanished into the night.

Summary
Sentosa Island is supposed to be a paradise: sunlit beaches, clear waters, and laughter echoing over the sand. But when a sea monster is sighted off Siloso Beach, panic spreads through Singapore’s most famous resort destination.
Enter Houtarou Oreki, a self-proclaimed expert in exposing cryptid hoaxes, dragged to the sunny shores of Singapore by circumstance, curiosity, and people far more energetic than himself. Joined by Eru Chitanda, Ritsu Tainaka, Mio Akiyama, and Aoi Asahina, Houtarou expects another case of misidentification, fear, and exaggeration, but what he doesn’t expect is evidence that refuses to stay debunked.
As sightings increase and a disgraced cryptozoologist lurking offshore, witnesses begin contradicting each other, and the creature itself behaves in ways that don’t align with any known animal or hoax. What began as a simple mystery threatens to unravel into something far stranger, and far more dangerous than anyone anticipated, because some legends aren’t meant to be exposed, and some monsters don’t want to stay in the sea.

Summary
Danny and his friends think they have a good grasp on things. Ghosts were real and needed to be fought, simple enough. Until a new ghost appears in town and it isn't. And then there were Aliens. And some foreign exchange students, but that's not important.
Things are about to get weird. Like, really weird.

Summary
Number one rule for working the night shifts at the sketchy gas station in the middle of butt-fuck nowhere was to not look at them, and they would leave you alone. They weren’t even supposed to see you if you didn’t look at them - just flicker the lights, rattle some shelves, and inflict the fear of death into your bone marrow.
Then, one night, one of them with stupid eyebrows and a serious attitude problem chose to come in only to start yelling at Zoro, who had done literally nothing to deserve it.
**
OR: Zoro works at a gas station that gets creepy visitors at night. One of them is more annoying than the others. -
