(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.

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)
Glory in War: FUTURE OF THE PAST (Part 2) by Hirokatsu800
17 parts Complete Mature
"Glory in War" is an ongoing project with the goal of becoming a potential animated series in the future. Any feedback, review or even comment are welcomed and could help into the story's delivery. For more information, please consider visiting the "WELCOME" Page before starting. OVERALL DESCRIPTION: Legends tell of a war that has brought misery upon our lands, separating us from the united civilisation we once carved into the sand gifted by the suns. It was worse than a punishment from the gods, with the souls of the fallen ones still remaining to fight for the honour and protection of the home they once had, for their stories lost among the land of war, and for the glory they have given in exchange of the blade of memories, witness to their sins, losing themselves into the chaos of fate. Now, only the new generations are capable of changing this chaos and bring peace into our lands. We can only hope that the gods have written our peaceful ending into our fate. PART DESCRIPTION: The second part of "Glory in War" focuses on learning the history of the convicted people, hiding from the city above them ruled by a twisted man. They cannot witness the light of the suns, nor to feel this concept of "freedom" they've built. Because of such matters, they cannot help but remember their past and wonder about their future. And it won't take long before the past will catch up on them and haunt their dreams all over again. CONTENT WARNING: This story contains strong language and dives into subjects such as violence, gore, death, abuse, slavery, cannibalism and mentions of rape. Reader discretion is advised.
The Sea Dogs by xandrewdulay
8 parts Complete Mature
You have been called upon to serve. It is 1975. Clay is among a dozen orphaned children, selected by the British Government, for a clandestine program to craft the best spies in the world. This is the secret "Sea Dogs" program, inspired by the historic Elizabethan Sea Dogs, who were the Queen's pirates that waged unconventional war against Her Majesty's enemies. All the children have been orphaned at the hands of Britain's global enemies of Communism and terrorism. The children are brought to train and live on the self-sufficient land of Castle Omega in the Scottish Highlands. They are tutored by WWII hero, Commander James Hammond, of British Naval Intelligence. And by his wife, Evie, who investigated murders, crimes, and espionage for Scotland Yard. Physics, wilderness survival, war games, and underwater demolition-are among the many skills the children learn at Castle Omega. But above all, they are taught to kill the enemy. The children discover their purpose of exacting revenge against Britain's enemies to avenge their parents. In their years of sequestered training, the orphaned children come to see their adult tutors as their new parents, and together they form the family they all wish they still had. The Sea Dogs is just the beginning of Clay's lifelong mission for Queen, God, & Country. Welcome to Castle Omega. By joining the Sea Dogs program, you hereby swear your life to secrecy. If you are ever compromised or risk the secrecy of the mission-then you shall be sent to Davey Jones' Locker. And be buried at sea. "I shall die a happy death-knowing my secrets die with me."

I've had this idea for awhile and I finally decided to write it <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> "This story is about a person named y/n just living life, trying to escape the school. But when encountering some certain protagonists and helping each other out of the school, some puppy crushes develop. Which would end better if y/n wasn't a teenager, who has no interest in dating children, and who is twice the size of them. Poor Mono, poor Six, poor poor y/n. Their kindness goes a long way in the eyes of young and impressionable children." <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ⚠️!!!Warnings!!!⚠️ TW: mentioning of sewerslide, death, abuse, beating, gore, being in pain, and anything you would expect in the LN series 🤎!!!Credits!!!💛 The cover is from Google when I searched "little nightmares 2 official art" so I'm pretty sure it's owned by Tarsier Studios, correct me if I'm wrong I don't own anything except this story, the characters aren't mine and neither is y/n technically, so just the story :) I added the text, but otherwise this is official gameplay! LN is made by Tarsier Studios, so they own the whole game and concept as far as I know! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 🌱Started: Sometime in March 2021 🪷Temporarily discontinued: August 5 2022 🌿Finished: being rewritten, it will be labeled under completed 🪻In the process of being rewritten on my Tumblr account!!!

Yandere "family" x reader  by imjustish

Y/n lives a hard life, she's a 15 year old girl, completely normal right? Wrong. At home she takes constant abuse, all the while working three jobs to support her "loving" family, and attempting to be a mother figure to her 3 year old brother. What she hadn't realized is that there is an extremely large family willing to do anything to have her. --------------- The fleur family have always wanted a girl, for generations only boys were biologically taken into the family. It was deemed impossible by them to have a girl, through the mother's and aunts and grandmothers who married into the fleur family, none of them had been blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Of course they all loved there sons dearly, and all of the family had grown accustomed to wanting a baby sister, one to coddle and love with all their hearts, one to protect from the world and all the darkness that comes with it. So what happens when the whole fleur family goes out to eat at the local diner, and has little y/n as there waitress for the day. The ENTIRE family immediately grows an attachment to this frail girl,, and feel that if nobody else will love her, they will. They notice how she flinches when a loud noise occurs,or whinces whenever she bumps into a table. They want you in there family, they want you all to themselves to love, but how far will they go? I'm not good at descriptions, but give this story a try. I will try and update at least once a week.
On A Quest To Save A Purple Noodle! [A Hat in Time Fanfiction] by inenna

I didn't like the other one because I personally thought it was a bit rushed. Even so, I hope you enjoy. Now, time to wing a introduction of this story! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was a week and a couple of days since the hat wearing child saved the world from Mustache Girl. The Mafia were happy, some of them were still waiting for their boss to be gifted a new body, Express Owls and Moon Penguins were glad that no one died, besides them dying to help the child during their fight, Snatcher and his minions were at peace, but were still fighting with the fact that they were still up against Queen Vanessa who is still trying to take over Subcon Forest, the Nomads were glad to be safe from all of the trouble along with the goats from the mountains, and pretty much, everyone was glad to be safe. But that's when the real problems began. You see, Hat Kid had to leave with their best friend who's like a sibling to them, Bow Kid. The two kids had to leave to head back home. And when they did, everyone was heartbroken and a few people had returned back to their old ways. Snatcher being cold and distant, looking for number one(I.E, himself.), Mafia Boss was gifted a robotic body to inhabit for the meantime while dealing with pesky Mu, beating up his mafia men, and last, but not least, the two birds from Dead Bird Studio; Conductor and DJ Grooves. What is to happen if things fall apart? Like, Vanessa kidnapping Snatcher, integrating him on WHY he left her when he is HER prince which causes havoc on the other areas of the world. He was still, sorta of, weak from his battle with Hat Kid, trying to recover after the day they had fought each other and when the hatted child left for home with the bow wearing child, having finishing his Death Wishes, going on a cruise, and going to the Metro. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starting time of writing: 4/5/2020 11:13 PM Finishing time of writing: 4/20/2020 12:19 AM

Four Little Nightmares

11 parts Ongoing

Mono is doomed to a time loop after being betrayed by Six, and everyone thought that was where his story ends. But after encountering his younger self, Mono realizes that he's not quite ready to give up and is determined to find the Six that betrayed him from his timeline. Intent on revenge, he travels the Maw where he meets another boy named Seven, who was eaten by Six. Both are ready to confront the one who hurt them, but what if that ends up being harder than they expected? And not only that, but what if the Raincoat Girl survived the fall back at the Nest, and what if she and Six found each other again? A story based on revenge ends up being an adventure full of hard decisions, new friends, and uncaging the truth about what happened to their world. Mono never thought he'd work together with Six again, but will a new threat, the "Happy Man", change his mind and force the four characters to team up? Or will grudges and past traumas turn their lives into a nightmare? Characters are all 19 except for Six who is 18. In the world they live in, people live for a very long time, up to 120 years and such, so 18-19 is still considered a "kid" for them. They are mature like normal people of that age, but they also have some childish tendencies and can still act kiddy. You'll see that with lots of the dialogue.
