The Murder Critters AU
(Original art by Zion-The-Storyteller) Ten years ago, the Hour of Joy turned a toy factory into a nightmare. The Critters, once cheerful mascots meant to comfort children, weren't killed by Catnap - they were spared. The Prototype saw value in them. Twisting their minds, he turned them into loyal disciples of his growing cult. All except one. Labeled a heretic, he was cast out... and the others were made to forget him. There was only one human child to survive the Hour of Joy. Ten years have passed, but the trauma never left him- the smiling faces, the screams, the ones you couldn't save. Life moved on. He didn't. Then one day, a mysterious letter arrives. A chance to return. A chance to end it. A chance to bury your demons once and for all. But when memories come back to life... so do the monsters.
Me and My Mister (CatNap X DogDay)
Y'all PLEASE this is satire if you didn't get the hint already (THIS STORY IS NOW COMPLETE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING!) Catnap and Dogday were best friends for a long time. Well, they were always best friends. One day, a meteor shower falls, so they all plan a vacation. On that day, they would start to have desires to get even closer. But they would not get together that easily. Since they both don't treat their love the same. Their friends help them overcome their fears and give them courage and bravery to tell each-other how they really feel. "Will we remain best friends for 'good,' or will I get what I truly want?" They asked themselves this ever since. LATEST UPDATE (7/1/2024): EPILOGUE AND CLOSING HAS BEEN PUBLISHED. DO NOT EXPECT UPDATES ABOUT THE MAIN STORY ANY MORE (But if you want to request me go ahead) Okay clearly people didn't grasp the hint THIS IS SATIRE PEOPLE.Complete

A Puppy's Dream Shield
When ''The Smiling Critters'' got added into playcare, there were only seven of them: Hoppy Hopscotch, Kickin Chickin, Crafty Corn, Bobby Bearhug, Bubba Bubbaphant, Picky Piggy, and DogDay. Before they got added into Playcare, they went through a series of tests to check if they really got what it takes to take care of children in an orphanage. After a few weeks of getting used to eachother, they heard the intercom turn on with a man behind it telling everyone that the ''Smiling Critters'' was a HUGE success, and that they have an announcement to make to all of them. ...And what they heard shocked them all... So with the two new scents of Lavender and Valerian. Will they all get along? ''They should not have any memory of the procedure, but everything before that is still intact'' ''But we must forge onwards in the name of science'' ''Weather those who are beneath us understand it or not, END OF-'' I don't own any characters mentioned in this story except for my own oc just to make that clear. The characters are from ''Poppy Playtime'' (Chapter 3 specifically), by Mob Entertainment.Complete

Heal and Trust
Dogday had once been a captive in the cruel world of dogfighting, sold to callous individuals who thrived on violence. Despite his strong build and fierce exterior, he longed for a life free from the horrors of the pit. His fate took a dramatic turn when a whimsical purple cat named Catnap appeared on the scene, accompanied by determined police officers and a team of SWAT members. Together, they launched a daring operation to dismantle the fighting rings and liberate the dogs, rescuing Dogday and many others from their bleak existence. Catnap, with his vibrant fur and playful demeanor, brought Dogday to a cozy home filled with warmth and companionship, sharing the space with his caring girlfriend and an eclectic group of furry friends. Yet, despite his newfound safety, Dogday remained cautious and skeptical. Trust did not come easily for him after the traumas he had experienced. Everything changed when he met Craftycorn, a kind-hearted female unicorn struggling with a grave illness caused by kidney failure. With her shimmering coat and gentle spirit, Craftycorn resonated with a familiarity that stirred something deep within Dogday. As they bonded over their trials, he felt the walls around his heart begin to crack. Would this brave unicorn, facing her own battles, be the key to helping Dogday reclaim the joy he had lost? As Dogday worried about Craftycorn's fate, he found himself torn between despair and hope. Would she receive the new kidneys she desperately needed to embrace life once more, or would he have to face the possibility of losing yet another friend? In the depths of his uncertainty, Dogday began to understand that perhaps trust could be built through shared struggles, giving him the courage to open up and heal alongside Craftycorn.
