《Scream 1996 [Male reader insert]》October 13, 1996

You set down two VHS tapes on the counter.
"Will that be all for today?" Randy asks sweetly in his customer-service voice. You hum in agreement, plucking dollar bills from your wallet.
"Alright, your total is $_.__. Do you want the receipt in the bag?" You knit your eyebrows at that.
"That's not right, I usually pay more than that."
Randy hands over the receipt, "Think of it as a discount, my friend. Who doesn't love a discount?"
You eye him warily, "Look if you're trying to score brownie points with Sidney, don't bother."
The ginger sputters, "Wh-What? Why would you think that? We're good pals, aren't we? What's the big deal?" You let out a sigh handing him the money. "Say from your personal opinion, would this score brownie points with Sid?"
You look at him deadpan as he put cash in the register. You throw coins at him before leaving the store. Randy could be heard inside of the store complaining about the pain.
Once you got home, you belly-flop onto your bed. Since your movie-watching mood had been ruined, you contemplate going to sleep early. Hugging a pillow, you thought that at least one of the movies could uplift your sour mood. You looked back and forth at the VHS tapes in your hands. Psycho and When A Stranger Calls. Before you could make a decision, you hear a scream coming from the room next door Sidney's room.
The VHS tapes fell from your hands onto the bedding as you tore your door open. A few steps later, you stand in front of Sidney's door. You knock lightly, trying to calm yourself down and not seem so rash.
Behind the door, you hear Sid speak, "Yeah?"
"Are you okay? I heard you scream."

"Uh, yeah-yeah, I'm fine. It was nothing, sorry."
Feeling confused and frankly uneasy, you stand still, leaning forward and tilting your head to the side to try and hear something anything. You could make out harsh whispers but couldn't discern any words. Who was Sid talking with?
No sooner did your father, Niel, come rushing forward while pulling you away from the door. He didn't hesitate to knock a few times before turning the doorknob and trying to open the door, only for it to be jammed.
"What's going on in there? Are you okay?" he peers inside the room. You try to get a glimpse inside, which proved difficult with Niel in your way.
"Can you knock?" Sid replies despite Niel's previous knocking.
"I heard screaming."
"No, you didn't," Sidney insists.
What was she hiding, and why did she feel the need to hide it?
Sidney moved the object that blocked the door from opening further, and Niel took his chance to fling the door open. You and Niel, along with Sidney, scan the room only to find nothing out of place. Why was she looking around as if expecting to see something unusual?
Niel didn't seem the least bit apprehensive. He simply looked at the two of you and explained minor details about his business trip again.
"There's cash on the table, and I'll be staying at..."
You and Sidney retort, "The Hilton." Both of you exchange glances.
Niel continues, "Out the airport so call if..."
"We need anything," the two of you finish.
He backtracks, "I could've sworn I heard screaming," he looks at her questioningly.
Sid brushes off his comment with an innocent look, "Have a good trip, okay?"
"Sleep tight, kiddos," Niel ended before leaving you and Sidney with forehead kisses. He walked off, presumably downstairs, while you stayed standing at Sidney's doorway. She looks at you expectedly, silently telling you to go back to your room.

"Look, could you at least tell me later? If you don't want to, it's fine," You tell her before retreating to your bedroom.
You couldn't get over her suspicious behavior, so regardless of what you may have told her, your curiosity got the better of you. You press yourself against the wall separating your rooms, straining your ears. The sound was quite muffled, but you could make out the sound of another voice. Someone with a deeper voice and subtle southern cadence. You only knew one person whose voice fit that description Billy Loomis, Sidney's boyfriend. Realistically it made the most sense too. What puzzled you was why he was here in the first place. Tomorrow was Monday, so Billy and Sid would be seeing each other in a matter of hours.
You supposed if you had a partner, you would also sneak out from time to time to see them.
You lift yourself off the wall and made your way downstairs. There was no sign of Niel. You weren't troubled about his whereabouts as it was common for him to be gone, though you couldn't deny your interest in where he went.
You enter the kitchen and search the cupboards for a cup. While you filled said cup with water, you notice the backdoor was unlocked. You noted that the door was locked when you last entered the kitchen.
"Huh, wonder how that happened."

The Mook Maker
There are many possible fates that can await those whisked away from our world to another. Some became heroes or villains, given the right power to forge their own destinies as they wished. Others, the powerless, became victims, doomed to perish, at the mercy of the cruel world filled with mystical powers they are unprepared for. A lone man that woke up alone under the alien sky was neither of those. He didn't get to choose what he was going to become - a disaster, an unwilling source of intelligent, yet violent monsters, slowly but steadily rising in numbers. Stranded in a foreign land, without even knowing the language, his creations may be the only company he would ever find. He wasn’t powerless. But was he really that much better off? It just took one wrong power.
8 358A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!

8 210A World Without
What if everyone in the world was blind? Kirk is a city where the monarchs that ruled over them had sight but the population was blind. The sighted gene would pop up in the population every so often, about every 100 years, and the monarchs would take those children and raise them as their own. They write in Braille using boulers, they're like fountain pens only with glue cartridges to create bumps instead of ink.
