Chase and Skye had always had a very close friendship. In fact, Skye believed that one day they could become something more together. Non-platonic relationships had never been considered within the Paw Patrol, at least without much thought. However, on a rare occasion where neither of them are called on a mission, the pilot and police pup's eyes are both set on how to make the most of their sudden day off.

Chase has trained his whole life to be fearless-steady under pressure, calm in danger, ready for anything. Anything except love. For months, he's carried a secret heavier than any mission gear: He's in love with Skye. Not a small crush. Not a passing feeling. A deep, soul-anchoring love that hits him every time she laughs, flies, or says his name like she trusts him with the whole sky. He almost told her once. One breath away. Then fear won. But everything changes when a mysterious storm threatens Adventure Bay, forcing the pups into the most dangerous rescue they've ever faced. During the mission, Skye is sent into the heart of the storm-alone-and Chase's confidence shatters as he realizes how close he is to losing her without ever telling her the truth. When the storm turns on them and Skye disappears from radar, Chase breaks every rule he's ever lived by-risking the mission, his safety, and his reputation-because the terror of losing her is greater than any fear of confessing. He finds her, injured but alive, hidden beneath wreckage. And in that fragile, breathless moment, Chase understands something brutal and beautiful: Courage isn't about facing danger. It's about facing your heart. With sirens fading and the storm finally settling, Chase holds her close, realizing this is his last chance- no more hesitating, no more almosts, no more fear. Because some words can't be left unspoken. Not when you were one disaster away from never saying them at all.

Slumping over the kitchen island staring out the window into thundering skies. "Tomorrow." She whispers to herself, watching the raindrops race down windows as the world seems to mourn in grey.

They thought junior year would be easier - the calm after the storm. After everything they'd been through, the group from Adventure Bay High was finally finding their rhythm again. But sometimes the cracks you can't see are the ones that hurt the most. When a new student arrives, everything changes. He smiles easily, says all the right things, but behind his charm is something fragile, something broken - and before anyone can see the signs, their world collapses in a single, unimaginable moment. Now the halls are silent. The laughter that once filled them is gone, replaced by whispers and empty desks. Chase tries to keep everyone together, Skye refuses to talk about what she saw, Rocky hides his pain behind anger, and Ella keeps searching for a way to make sense of the chaos. They all survived that day - but surviving is not the same as living. In the aftermath, friendships fracture, guilt festers, and grief takes on a life of its own. But even in the darkest corners of Adventure Bay High, there are flickers of light - the quiet promise that healing, though impossible at first, might still be within reach. Because sometimes falling apart is the only way to learn how to stand again.

[Completed] After the Giant War, Percy Jackson had thought for his demigod life to be placed on standby. No more attacks from past enemies, no more prophecies to survive through, and no more near-death experiences whatsoever. During a surprise attack at Camp Half-Blood, Percy finds himself with two choices at hand: stay and survive through the endless waves of Greek monsters, or leave and save everything he loves. What he never would've predicted, is being transported into another dimension, transformed into a beast to shield him from his human appearance, and in great need to stop a war side to side with stubborn, hot-headed villagers and their "flying companions." Meanwhile, Hiccup Haddock the Third has critical problems at hand. Now knowing of the existence of a mysterious new Night Fury in the wake of Drago's attack against the Dragon Riders makes the young Chief-to-be question the reality of the Berkian's beliefs. The truth of it all comes down to an epic battle of demigods and fantastical creatures against a madman sought to destroy both Greek and Viking cultures, no matter the cost. * * A How To Train Your Dragon 2 and Percy Jackson crossover.

Ryder and Rubble have left on a quest to get the milk. The rest of the PAW Patrol was left at the lookout to fend for themselves. What could go wrong? (This story will jump around with its POV's, and is intended to be a crack fic. Take it lightly.)

The Paw Patrol, their close friends and the entire world have lived in relative peace for many years now. However, everything changed when hundreds of Mighty Meteors fell from space unexpectedly, causing more dogs and humans to gain powers and lose control, involuntarily bringing untold amounts of death and destruction to their communities. A lot of natural disasters are occurring around the entire globe with growing severity in the wake of these incidents. If that wasn't bad enough, new villainous threats have been discovered on Earth, determined to accomplish their violent goals, adding to the Mighty Pups' troubles in this struggle for their world's future. In response to these changing, dangerous times, the Paw Patrol become the Mighty Pups once more, and each of them are determined to do what it takes to protect those they care about and save the world, no matter what. And despite everything, the four new members of the team must learn one thing the hard way: the price of power is steep, and more often than not, it is paid with blood and the deaths of the people you care about and who care about you. Power like this never comes without a cost. And when the battles to save their world become harder and more tiring, the Mighty Pups will be reminded of this as they fight a brutal, tiring battle against the villainous threats that threaten their whole world. Nonetheless, the question remains, are you willing to do absolutely anything to save the world... even if it tears you and everyone you care for apart? As the Mighty Pups fight to save their world, they'll face off against familiar foes, and new ones with vicious ambitions for the future of their world. Follow the Mighty Pups as they learn the true price of power, what they must do in order to save as many people as possible, and the bloody and tragic realities of being heroes that they will have to face and overcome, or die trying.

Adventure Bay has never forgotten the day Skye went missing. Ten years ago, during a daring rescue mission, Skye vanished without a trace, leaving the whole town heartbroken and the Paw Patrol devastated. Life in Adventure Bay has changed, but the pups and Ryder have never stopped hoping for her safe return. Now, on what would have been the 10th anniversary of her disappearance, something extraordinary happens-Skye suddenly appears, out of nowhere, in a remote part of the forest, tired but alive. But she doesn't remember much about where she's been or how she survived all these years. As the town pauses in shock and emotion-the day Adventure Bay literally stands still-Ryder and the pups race to help Skye rediscover who she is and piece together the mystery of her lost decade. Along the way, they face bittersweet reunions, old wounds, and new challenges that test their friendship and courage like never before. Through Skye's journey back home, Adventure Bay learns that hope can never be lost, and sometimes the greatest rescue is bringing a lost friend back into the light.
