Sundrop's Spooky Fics

So because Halloween is coming up, I decided to put together a rec list of my fics that are perfect for Halloween - none of these are really directly Halloween themed, but they have Halloween or spooky vibes. I divided them up between fics that are on Tumblr and fics that are on AO3 because my account is archive locked so you do need an AO3 account to read those fics. Either way, I hope you enjoy some of these fics if it is your first time reading them!

Blood In The Water - Void!Stiles x Fem!Reader (Teen Wolf) (11,700 words)

Being Stiles’s best friend, you are incredibly worried about him when you figure out that he is quite literally not himself - and that the thing currently occupying his body could be destroying it in the process. When you approach him to show this concern, Void takes a particular interest in you. He’s not capable of love, or even fondness, but he likes you. And he likes the way your fear spikes when you talk about Stiles. So he makes you a deal - he’ll agree to take care of this fleshy, mortal host, in exchange for something more precious, more rare, and more delicious than the meal you have brought for Stiles. He wants your pain. He wants your tears. Void!Stiles Stilinski x Fem!Reader. Pining Best Friends. Extreme Emotional Angst, Hurt No Comfort. Set during Season 3 (with flashbacks to Season 1, Episode 11).

Recently posted, and one of the most 'Halloween' fics I have ever written. Very angsty, very spooky. Great if you are looking for some great emotional Halloween dread - like the kind that a horror movie would bring. It was one of my favourites to write, and I hope you guys enjoy reading it.

Precious Time Alone - Gar Logan x Fem!Reader (DC Titans) (11,800 words)

Even with the ability to see the future, you never would have guessed that your life would lead you to falling in love with the perfect man - someone sweet, caring, funny, cute. Someone with the passion and fire to protect the ones that he loves no matter what. A precious guy with green hair who had the ability to transform into a tiger at will. And when you finally made love to him for the first time, you never could have guessed how that unique ability affected his sex life. You weren’t exactly complaining, but you wished you had seen this coming. At the end of the day, it was just another thing about him to love. Or - Neither you nor Gar knew that he has the ability to knot, and you both find out for the first time when you have sex together. Gar Logan x Fem!Powered!Reader. Established Relationship. Smut/PWP. Set during Season 2, Episode 9.

I put this strictly on the list because it is in the style of A/B/O (even though it's not technically A/B/O, because the reader character is technically human) - because what is Halloween without a little monster fucking? I need to write more monster fucking lmao. Anyway, I love this fic and I love this fic so much - and I hope you will too.

Need - Daryl Dixon x Fem!Reader (The Walking Dead) (3,000 words)

Daryl comes back from a run acting strangely needy, and you find out that Zach made him jealous. (You may have to thank Zach later.) Or - Daryl fucks your brains out to prove to himself that you’re his. Daryl Dixon x Fem!Reader. Established Relationship. Smut/PWP. Set during early Season 4/The Prison Era.

What would Halloween be without some TWD? There is much 'spookiness' to this one, aside from the fact that it's technically set during a zombie apocalypse - it's just pure porn. But whenever I think of Halloween, I do get the urge to watch TWD, so I had to have my boy Daryl in here somewhere.

Damn The Man, Save The Empire (Five Nights At Freddy's) (6,100 words)

Vanessa has always taken care of you. Since the two of you were kids, she has put her neck on the line for you, and you rarely knew how to return that epic kindness. One night, while both of you are raw and on-edge, the dark cloud of your strange past looming over both of you nearly swallows both of you whole - and once again, Vanessa is right there, taking care of you. (Dark)Dom!Vanessa Shelly x Sub!Gender Neutral Reader. Toxic Co-Dependent Relationship. Smut and Angst. Takes place before the main timeline of the film.

The main spooky thing about this one is the fact that Vanessa is very much a sociopath in this, and who doesn't love a dark fantasy where a serial killer fucks your brains out. I really need to write more fics like this, because this one was so much fun to write - I love writing dark characters to their extreme.

Ghosting - Mike Schmidt x Fem!Reader (Five Nights At Freddy's) (3,700 words)

Mike has been in love with you for as long as he can remember. For about as long as the two of you have been best friends. He always thought he would have more time to work up to confessing those big, dangerous feelings for you - until something more dangerous swooped in and stole any time he had left with you. Mike Schmidt x Fem!Reader. Star-Crossed Lovers. Pure Angst. Set during the events of the movie.

Again, this is one that brings horror movie dread - I think that angst is really great for Halloween, especially because this is based off a great Halloween movie. This won't be for everyone because it doesn't have a happy ending, but if you are looking for something very angsty, I hope you enjoy reading this.

These next ones are on AO3, and like I mentioned, my account is archive locked, so you will need an AO3 account to view these fics. But I think they are really great and deserve a shout out too. Also, these fics don't have covers that have been made by me (except for one lmao) - so thanks to Tumblr's gif search system for these ones.

Hold Me Tight Or Don't - Glenn Rhee x Fem!Reader x Maggie Greene (The Walking Dead) (7,200 words)

Everyone should get one last wish. Right? Well, that’s not exactly something you wanted to be thinking of in the middle of a musty old prison library when you have a pack of Walkers crawling up your ass. But you’ll work with what you’ve got. And you have the loves of your life at your disposal and the remaining time that God has given you. Glenn Rhee x Fem!Reader x Maggie Greene. Established Relationship. Major Character Death. Smut and Heavy Angst. Set during Season 3, Episode 4.

This one I put on the list because of the mixture of angst, gore, and smut. I love fics that have a mixture of gore and sex (it's something that I really should do more often) because I feel like sex and death really have such a natural relationship. And this one, unlike the Daryl fic, really brings the zombie aspect to the forefront. It's one of my favourite fics I have ever written, and I think it is perfect for the spooky Halloween mood.

No Brainer - Derek Cho (Steven Yeun) x Fem!Reader x Melanie Cross (Samara Weaving) (Mayhem (2017)) (7,100 words)

When the ID-7 Virus, aka the Red Eye Virus hits Towers and Smythe Consulting, it throws the entire office building into chaos. With a mandatory quarantine from the CDC in action, that chaos builds in on itself, and somehow, you, Derek, and Melanie get everything that you want. aka You have something Derek and Melanie need. Derek and Melanie have something you want. You all agree to make an exchange, and everyone ends up more than happy. Derek Cho (Steven Yeun) x Fem!Reader x Melanie Cross (Samara Weaving). Strangers to Lovers. Smut. Set during the canon of the film Mayhem.

This one is perfect for Halloween because it's based off of an amazing horror movie. Also, it's no coincidence that there's two Steven Yeun fics on fics on this list. He looks really good covered in blood.

Arms Tonite - Bee (Samara Weaving) x GN!Reader (The Babysitter (2017)) (2,100 words)

Sunrise is fast approaching with every second that ticks by - another second you spend with Bee, another second you lose in the fight to gain more time with her. The deal you had made was impossible to complete, and the Devil was eager to get his claws on your immortal soul. But of course, Bee was brewing up some plans of her own. Bee x Gender Neutral Reader. Friends to Lovers. Angst/Horror. Set outside the events of canon.

This was one of my first shorter fics, and I am still really proud of it. Also, it's great for Halloween cause it involves literal human sacrifice. This was actually one of my first fics to experiment with major gore and violence elements - which was largely inspired by the film. And I would love to write a longer (smut) fic with Bee sometime. I love her character so much and I feel like she is so underappreciated.

Very Good Bad Thing - Antisepticeye x Fem!Demon!Reader (8,200 words)

Valentine's Day is a busy time for you, seeing as you're a sex demon, and you close most of your deals when people are feeling lonely and vulnerable. Of course, Anti just had to interrupt you. To give you his stupid... "present". Anti x Fem!Reader. Exes to Lovers/Frenemies. Smut and Gore.

So, technically this is a Valentine's day fic - because I got the idea that I wanted to post a seasonal fic on Valentine's day on one of my old blogs and this monstrosity came to mind. But this fic is a heavy mixture of gore and smut, so I feel like it would be perfect for Halloween too. This is actually my first ever smut fic that included any gore (and it's my only youtuber ego fic, though I would like to write more of them, because they are so much fun) - and I had so much fun writing it. I love writing about demons and characters who are amoral on their basis, because there is no rules. And that just makes it so much fucking fun.

Anyway, if you read any of these fics, I hope you enjoy them! And I hope you have fun and have a great Halloween!!

Chapter Summary: "They winked into the mouth of the cave, the night outside grown dark enough that the inside seemed composed mostly of hazy gray shapes and the overwhelming scent of rotten fruit. The air was humid to a stifling, liquid degree."

But it was her bond with one human in particular, Pamela Barnes, that led her to grow, to change, to become disillusioned with her position within her father's ultimate vision. After the fall, Adelphi grew cynical of God's plan. He was playing with human lives, writing them like some sort of book and taking away what free will they had.

Authors Who I Consider Auto-Buy (Read Everything That's Released)

Sharing all the authors I would auto-buy, meaning I would buy everything that's published from them.

There aren’t many authors who I would read everything they publish. Either because I’m not interested in all of their concepts or because I’m only interested in specific universes. Or they have way too many series, so I pick and choose which one I’m going to read. And then, there are other authors who I have read everything they have released, but because they just have one series or world that…

million dollar man (daryl dixon x fem!grimes!oc) no age gap

series summary -

Vanessa Grimes was trapped in a cycle of addiction to drugs and alcohol, leading a life devoid of purpose before the world fell apart. The outbreak brought chaos and death, but for Vanessa, it also brought a strange kind of opportunity-one for redemption and self-discovery. Her journey is far from easy. Despite the horrors of the world, she learns that she can find hope and strength in the people around her, and that together, they can face whatever comes next.

word count - ongoing

what to expect - follows the entire series. is a slowburn, he fell first she fell harder trope. she is younger than rick but only by a few years so she's in her 30's so not really an age gap fic. this fic is a love letter to myself and anyone else who feels the same. it's about a woman who is struggling with finding purpose in her life and a reason to live beyond just the fact that others people don't want her to die i also wanted to take the soulmate trope and flip it bc i am someone who loves hard and fast bc of the fairytale love at first sight idea i grew up with. i wanted to show characters who are soulmates because they choose to be and not bc of fate

WITH YOU [1] SHATTERED DREAMS

Daryl Dixon x OC

Summary: Charlie didn't want to believe in the virus until she saw it on her own eyes.

Warnings: blood/injuries, dead bodies, language, death

Song: Dog Days Are Over Florence + The Machine

Author's note: This chapter is just about the OC, because I want you to know her. I hope you like it and please let me know somehow if you do.

DAYLIGHT ON WATTPAD

Not many people could say this - especially at the age of twenty-four, but her life was perfect. If you can define what these two words perfect life means to you, her life was probably a hundred times better. Living alone in a fancy and big apartment in the middle of Atlanta with a view of the whole city. She had an amazing job that gave her a free gym pass and fruit on Thursdays. She had many friends and, a new fast car and her face was well known among people not just in Atlanta, but in the whole state.

"Yes mom." she said to her phone. "Are they coming with you guys?"

She was listening to her mother ranting on and on about them moving to Atlanta, because of some virus that was going around lately. But it was like that for a week at least. Her mom was freaking out, she was listening to it and scientists or other smart people couldn't tell what is the cause of the infection and how to stop it.

She fixed her hair and smeared pink lipstick on her lips.

"Charlie! Five minutes. They're waiting for you!"

"Okay Mommy, I have to go." she cut her mom short. "I will call you later and I'm seeing you in a week."

Charlie didn't know she won't see her family in those seven days and that was probably one of the last conversations she had with her mom. She would listen to her more carefully if she knew that she would never hear her voice.

"Yeah. Love you too." she said. "And don't worry about it, it's probably temporary. Bye."

"Is she scared?" asked Vanessa, who was responsible for doing her makeup.

"Yeah. She's paranoid."

Vanessa smiled and put powder on her forehead.

"I saw the video." she replied."This virus might be true, Charlie."

She rolled her eyes and stood on her legs, touching her hair. "Mhm. Dead people walking on the streets. What next? Brat Pitt will be trying to find the cure for that? Please."

"Charlie!" the producer yelled her name.

"I'm coming!"

So around one week before, the whole country panicked as they found out about the virus going around. There was a shooting in LA - nothing new, but someone leaked the video of a man being shot at by the police. He had around ten or so shooting wounds but still was able to walk around like nothing had happened. What killed him for good was a bullet between his eyes. After the video was seen by almost everyone in the country, the authorities informed that there was something bad in the air.

And here's the thing, Charlie didn't believe any word she heard in the news, because for the whole seven days, everyone was quiet, there was no virus or anything similar before. What she was sure was that the video was edited or it was a shot from some kind of video game, because a man could not be a walking sack of bullets and still breathing.

That was no virus. That was bullshit.

That's why she couldn't understand why she was doing what she was doing. Right now she should be in the studio, asking some fancy chef what he has got for them this time. Lamb or maybe octopus? She should be in the studio doing pointless interviews, so all housewives of Atlanta and the nearby area could be happy. Instead, she was ready to walk into the safe zone...

She sighed heavily.

Atlanta was the safest city of all - at least that's what they were saying. It was fortified, and the sight of tanks, military cars, or soldiers with serious-looking weapons on the streets of the city was pretty normal by now. That's why the authorities asked everyone who could to move here and wait for what was coming in a safe place.

Bullshit, because nothing was coming.

"Hello." said the woman, dressed pretty normally for someone who was the boss in charge of the safety of this place. "My name's Olivia Clark."

The whole accommodation was also normal. One alley and a couple of useless buildings secluded from the rest of the city with a wire fence. They also put up some trailers, so there would be more space for newcomers.

Some kids were running around, playing with toys, or drawing with colorful chalk. It wasn't crowded yet - some people here and there, talking or doing other day-to-day things, but at the same time Charlie didn't expect to see anyone here, so that was really shocking to her.

"Thank you for coming here today. As you can see there's not many people here yet." said the woman. "We should do everything in our power to tell as many people as possible about this place."

Charlie smiled tightly.

She was here because that's what she got paid for, she wasn't some type of Miss Universe to pray for the peace in the world. It wasn't her choice to come here and she just wanted to have things done.

"You can film this building and trailers. That's where people sleep, eat, and just spend their time. Over there, there is a canteen, so feel free to go there." said the woman in charge. "Just don't go in the building over there."

"What's in that building?" asked Charlie immediately.

Olivia looked over at the building and gulped, then she looked back at Charlie with a heavy sigh.

"I guess you' 're a part of this now, so I can show you," she said. "But no cameras. People can't find out about this."

This place was probably some old police station or something of that type. At first, it was just a normal place, where they were probably keeping all of their medication and where doctors were. Because everyone was walking around in blue uniforms and gloves. Hospital was her first thought and in fact, she wasn't that far from the truth.

"If you want to pass those doors you have to leave your camera and everything that would record anything. We will search you." she informed and some people just walked to her, cameraman Jerry and the rest of the crew. "You have to promise that you just forget what you're going to see in a moment."

Charlie shrugged and signed a paper that was probably some kind of agreement. She couldn't care less at this point and to be honest, she didn't want to be part of this, she was just curious. They also got white masks. The lady who handed it to them said something that sounded like good luck followed by: "You're gonna need it."

"Isn't that exciting? We're one of few people that get to see whatever's in here." said excited Kyle - he was a part of the crew, responsible for the sound. "I love our job." he smiled and entered to the next room.

"Bubble baths are exciting," she mumbled under her nose.

When they walked through the doors they found themselves on a long corridor with different types of doors.

First, they saw some cells with pale-looking people. They looked pretty normal, but just like people with a fever. Doctors or nurses were walking around them, making sure that they took medication or measuring their temperature.

In the next cell, people looked much worse. They were shivering and droplets of cold sweat were running down their faces. They were just laying there with probably cold compresses on their foreheads. Not many healthy people walked around them, they were kind of left alone.

Right next to it was yet another cell with people that could barely blink and even that seemed painful. Those people were just waiting for death to come at this point and it was very painful to watch. Not that she felt for them, it was just inhumane to keep them alive like that. She could imagine her brothers or parents or even herself like that and Charlie knew that she would rather be killed.

"We segregate them on stages." informed Olivia. "We don't know which ones are just sick and which ones are infected."

The whole crew with Charlie looked at Olivia with narrowed brows.

"Oh, we searched them before we let them in. We checked if they have any scratches or bites." she explained. "We have no idea how that happened."

Oh, it was the only sure thing in the recent situation. Smart people didn't know how the virus got awakened, but people could be infected in two ways: scratch or bite. Charlie didn't know why another person could bite another human being, maybe it was caused by hallucinations? Or fever?

Charlie was lost.

What did Olivia mean when she said that? Those were human beings, but they were just sick. Why did she become so tense as soon as she walked through those doors? What the hell was going on here?

"Let's go."

Reed stood for a moment longer next to a cell. There was something that caught her eyes inside. It was a man who was just lying there and could barely breathe on his own, but as he moved she was able to see a bloody stain on his stomach.

It was a bite.

She was horrified because that's not how she imagined the bite. She had four brothers and being the only girl wasn't easy growing up. When they were younger Charlie often found herself in the middle of a physical fight, tackling them, biting them, or being bitten. But any of her marks looked like that. The bit wasn't big and it looked as if a human being was a cause of it, but there was something scary. It was deep, to the bone - just a piece of meat gone. Bleeding torn wound, almost as if some hungry animal did it.

Before she had a chance to take a closer look, she heard gagging and gasps. She looked in the direction of her coworkers and headed to where they stood.

This time they didn't stand before a cell, they stood before something that looked like an interrogation room. But it wasn't important- not in comparison to what they all saw inside. It was something that no news or viral videos could prepare you to see. She held her gag herself as she saw what was inside.

"We have two more full of these," said Olivia. "And two more just waiting to be filled."

It was maybe ten walking things and around five sitting ones. They looked horrible, but as much as she would like to just look away, she was hypnotized in a way. They all were moving their jaws, walking around to find something else than the rotten body. She has never seen anything like it. Rotten bodies, pale skin, and nails that could tear flesh easily. Its eyes were empty as if hidden behind a gray cloud. It looked like a person but surely wasn't anymore.

She knew that there was a special glass separating them from those things, but she didn't feel safe at all. They could probably sense them somehow - maybe by their scent or maybe they could hear them because one of those things was facing them. Snarling and bringing the attention of others' dead bodies, and soon all of them were on a glass, trying to reach them.

"We should go." said Olivia."Once they hear you, they won't calm down."

She was looking at the camera, the microphone shaking in her hands that she just couldn't stop. She swallowed but still had this horrible picture in front of her eyes. The lifeless body of a thing that was once someone. Empty eyes and yellow teeth move in a hunger. Snarling still in her ear as if one of them was behind all the time.

"Charlie you good?" asked one of the members of the crew. She just looked at him, so he came up to her. "I know it's scary. I want to run away from this place just like you, but...there's work to do."

Charlie furrowed her brows at him.

"You want me to lie? It's not safe here," she whispered, so Olivia couldn't hear. "I have a family too and I wouldn't want them to come here."

"And they won't." he said. "Charlie. Just do your work."

She swallowed what wanted to leave her insides and looked over at her other friends. They were as pale as she was and their eyes showed that they think just like her. Kyle was no longer smiling, but sitting in front of his console looking at it with an empty stare. She didn't know if people could hear anything from what she was about to say, as their sound specialist was just sitting there, not moving as if those things ate his insides. Cameraman Jerry could barely hold the camera as his hands were shaking.

"3...2...1..."

"Good morning Atlanta." Charlie smiled as wide as she could. "You probably wonder where I am today? Today I visited Atlanta's safe zone..." her voice stuck in her throat because what she had to say next was just a bunch of lies. "Atlanta's safe zone...the best place to stay during the epidemic."

Charlie swallowed looking into the camera.

"If there's a safe place somewhere, it's here in Atlanta. You will get medical help, food and water, and a place to sleep." she said. "There's also military supervision at the gates, so nothing alive or..." Before she finished her sentence the dead eyes of the dead flashed right in front of her face. "Nothing alive or dead would get through."

Charlie smiled even wider to encourage anyone who would watch her to come to Atlanta.

"So if I were you...If I would have a choice, I would want to be here. In Atlanta's safe zone. Please bring your families and let's stay safe." she appealed. "It was Charlie Reed. Have a great day Atlanta."

As soon as she ended her broadcast and got rid of all the mics, she entered her car and just sat there. Tears of fear ran down her face and she knew that she would do anything to stop her family from coming here. To this day this whole virus was just a gossip, a dream and nothing real.

But she saw it, with her own eyes. She saw it, heard it, and even smelled it.

Another thought formed in her head, the one that took her breath away and crushed her ribs. The news that was surrounding them was just a bunch of bullshit. People out there didn't know shit about the virus and what was really going on. They didn't know what those things looked like and they just thought about them as sick people.

Now Charlie was sure about a different thing- there was no something like a safe zone or place.

It was all bullshit.
