(Picture is not made by me. It's made by my wonderful friend, Dr. Grim.)

In This AU, this is The Maw.  A Restaurant Prison afloat in the sea. Getting visitors often, normally everyday despite them being in the ocean. People get on many ships just to visit them. That's because they do something nobody else  does.

You see, this Maw is more brutal than the normal restaurant prison you're used to. This Maw decides to torture the children until their death. They force children to fight each other in a small arena. (Though large Arena from The Children's POV.) Whoever dies (If they do) gets taken to the Chefs to be eaten. 

All the children have lost hope of escaping and accepted that this was there life now. Fighting until they are eventually slain in battle. However, this changes when Six comes around. Six returns their hope. Now, can they escape this brutal Maw or will they die trying?


===== Preview =======

The Maw.

A Great Source of amusement for Adults and some Teenagers. Some Teenagers' minds haven't been fully corrupted into liking this stuff. 

But a Hellhole for Children.

The Maw is a boat in the sea that kidnaps Runaway children. The Ferryman being the person who takes the children. Sometimes The Maw buys children from The Hunter.

Now, what IS The Maw exactly? 

You know the Dog Fighting in late 1830s-1976? Well, replace Dogs with Children and add many more twists and unfair things and there you go. That's The Maw

We fight for The Lady's and Guest's amusement. 

We kill our friends just to make her happy.

We Suffer. So that's why we need to escape.

Little Nightmares: Dreamers Of The Maw by LadyEckland
9 parts Complete Mature
Dive into the shadowy depths of the Maw, a chilling collection of eight stories that peel back the curtains on the darkest corners of this nightmarish world. Each tale invites you to experience the Maw through the eyes of those who dared to dream-and found themselves ensnared. 1. **The Dreamers' Descent** - Four researchers challenge the boundaries of reality, only to find themselves trapped in the twisted labyrinths of the Maw, where their experiment turns into a fight for survival. 2. **Echoes of Hunger** - A gaunt chef's obsession with perfection leads to horrifying culinary experiments. Discover what lies behind his mask and the grotesque meals he prepares. 3. **The Janitor's Watch** - Explore the life of the Maw's blind janitor, who uses the echoes of the corridors to capture any who stray too far from safety. His tale is one of loneliness and the desperate need for connection. 4. **Little Lost Lights** - Follow the flickering journey of a lost spirit, a remnant of a failed escape, seeking salvation among the living children still hoping to find their way out. 5. **The Librarian's Silence** - In the Maw's forsaken library, a once-avid scholar seeks forbidden knowledge that could either free her or bind her to the Maw forever. 6. **The Engine's Heart** - Deep within the bowels of the Maw, the engine room harbors a dark secret. A young mechanic uncovers the truth about what powers the Maw-and the cost of its hunger. 7. **The Nursery of Shadows** - A former caretaker recounts her eerie experiences with the ghostly children who play eternal games within the walls of the Maw's nursery. 8. **The Ferryman's Voyage** - A mysterious figure who ferries the lost souls across the shadowy waters beneath the Maw reveals his ancient origins and the true nature of his curse. Each story intertwines with the others, spinning a web of terror, mystery, and the slim possibility of redemption. Will you brave the dark?
Monster Beneath The Surface (Solangelo AU) by Doctor_Orders1932
28 parts Complete
Everyone in town knows about the sea monster. Every night, he goes into town to find his prey. He lures them in with his voice, only to bring them back to the ocean, to eat them. Few survive this, and the people who do, they lose their mind, like they were cursed. You can only gather from them that he was beautiful, his voice was like an angel's, and that when he took you into the ocean, he became a monster. He only hunted young men, women, teens, and the occasional twelve-year old. It was terrifying, because the people had no way to stop him. Every night, someone would go missing, or come back insane. They knew he lived in the ocean, and when people tried to bomb the area where they thought the monster lived, they would either be cursed, or just eaten by the sea monster himself. And the people who came back insane, they would always wander over the fact that the monster had not even a scratch on him. Teens, young men and women would fear for their lives, and lock themselves in their houses at night. But only one person refused to hide, either in bravery or utter stupidity. That person was Will Solace. So basically, this story is based on the cover art of the book. I just thought it was such a great idea and wanted to put it to story. I saw another person do this and they used the same cover art, and I hope you guys like my version! I, personally very much like it and hope you guys do to! (I don't own any of the characters or art work that appears in this fanfic. All of the characters belong to Rick Riordan.)
FOR OUR GOD - SPOOKY MONTH (AU) by hopelesspetals
5 parts Ongoing Mature
TRIGGER WARNING! THIS IS A HEAVY TOPIC KIND OF BOOK THAT CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING: HOMICIDE, BLOOD/GORE, MAJOR DEATH (+ CHILD DEATH), CULT ACTIVITY, MENTIONS OF S/H, AND MORE! IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO THIS KIND OF STUFF YET YOU STILL WANT TO READ: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! MOST CHARACTERS BELONG TO SR PELO, NOT ME! SIDE NOTE: THIS BOOK IS MADE BY THE OFFICAL AU CREATOR! DO NOT STEAL THIS STORY IN ANY WAY AND CLAIM IT TO BE YOURS, BECAUSE IT IS MINE! DRAW FANART OF IT, MAKE STORIES OF IT, DO WHATEVER, BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW FOR ANYONE TO STEAL MY WORK. ------------------------ I've always been a part of a cult with a sadistic leader and a mythical god we worship by sacrificing children. Since then, the town has grown bigger and bigger, and we might've been forgotten. Or at least, all of us, except our leader. Yet the police have found out about us since the fateful day they entered the house on the hill, which is where we sacrifice our victims. They know who we are. They're trying to spread the word because they know our tendencies and have seen us before, but nobody believes them, not even the mayor. Because there's more of us and they don't know it. They should be careful of our leader, though. Who knows what he'll do to the civilians after he killed most of us and turned us into his puppets to torment, play with, and especially control to hunt and capture the citizens for him. He'll probably turn them all into his puppets, too. Even though we've caught more children than we used to, we can't help but feel betrayed. We were supposed to do this together, Atticus. Remember? That's the reason why we're a cult, right? But this is for our god, after all. ------------------------ (ALT NAME FOR AU: HYPNOTIC HELL (YH)) (Inspired by Spooky Month Nightmare Parade by @staticCL1NG on Twitter & Island of the Slaughtered by @eaveery.css on Tiktok)

20 parts Ongoing

The Maw is no place for children. It has a way of drawing creatures toward it; those who eat, those who are eaten, and everything in between. The Maw, by accident, is exactly where Six and Mono end up. ~~~ Six didn't want to save Mono, but she did. She knows what he becomes. She knows how stupid it was that she saved him. But she couldn't just leave him to die. As soon as they're out of the Pale City, she plans to run away from him. The screens have other ideas. When Six and Mono are forced to travel through a television, there's a glitch. Although separated by different signals, they're sent to the same place - the Maw, a feeding ground stranded in the ocean. Mono, thrown into seemingly-peaceful rooms, wants to find his way back to Six and escape with her. Six, lost in the darkest depths of the ship, wishes to escape by herself; seeing all others as a threat. It's not simply a fight against the outside world anymore. Without each other to lean on, with danger brewing, with darkness found inside and out...the two may not make it out alive. One thing is certain. Nightmares don't have happy endings. ----------------------------------- Trigger Warning: blood, death, gore, and disturbing themes. Viewer discretion is advised. GUYS THIS ISN'T ABANDONED; I COMPLETELY CHANGED THE LAST CHAPTER AND IT'S TAKING FOREVER TO FINISH BUT I WILL GET THERE SOON!
