    Summary

    "Figure it out," Katsuki says, leaning close enough that Izuku can count his heartbeats. "Show me this isn't just you performing."

    Izuku has one month to prove he belongs in the yakuza world. To show he can handle the violence, the politics, the careful dance between legal and criminal.

    Izuku Midoriya wasn't supposed to be here. The Bakugos wanted a bride, not a groom. But backing out means destroying his family's empire, and staying means surviving in a world where trust is earned in blood and every conversation is a test.

    His father traded him for an alliance. Katsuki could still refuse.

    Katsuki Bakugo doesn't do second chances. He definitely doesn't fall for corporate heirs with analytical notebooks and zero survival instincts.

    Izuku chooses to stay anyway.

    Summary

    After setting her marriage (and bed) on fire, Dr. Hermione Granger flees to New York for a six-month fellowship in neuromagical surgery. Her new supervisor? Dr. Draco Malfoy — who apparently survived the war, changed his surname, and perfected the art of being insufferable in scrubs.

    Summary


    Sometimes it takes a moment akin to an atom bomb to remake a life. Other times, all it takes is a whisper. This is both. For fate can exist as a single, chance meeting.

    ______________

    Joel is a construction worker. Ophelia is an architect. Chance or fate brings them together and sends Ophelia on a journey of rebirth.

    Summary

    Part 1 — Second Chance, First Choice
    A glitch in time punts John back to the morning before the serum. This time he saves Lemar, learns that “boring is merciful,” and quietly hands the shield to Sam—claiming U.S.Agent and a kinder way to be a hero.

    Part 2 — The Safety Net Clause
    Thunderbolts, but with guardrails. John joins on his terms—nonlethal-first rules, lanes for civilians, Sentry kept steady—and outsmarts Val while running city-scale saves. By the end, the world hears it: “Captain America stands with U.S.Agent.”

    Summary

    It feels like an eternity until Eddie finally emerges from the water, taking in a big gulp of air and slicking his hair backwards. He looks up at Buck, giving him a smirk and a thumbs up.

    Finally, Buck can breathe normally again– or not.

    The visual presented below him might be one of the hottest things that he’s ever seen in his life. No, it is the hottest thing Buck’s ever seen in his life.

    ———

    Eddie jumps into the water, and he’s not the only one who gets wet.

    Summary

    Dante was transmigrated and somehow ended up with something called the Agent System.

    Now he’s with the FBI. Apparently. And every time he solves a case, he randomly acquires one of the target’s abilities, like some glitchy RPG reward screen.

    Before he even had time to process the absurdity, the universe threw its first red flag.

    Someone just broke out of Fox River Prison. Not weird enough? There’s also a quiet little town near Boston called Storybrooke. Yeah, that Storybrooke.

    Meanwhile, in the suburbs of Raccoon City, wild animals have started attacking civilians. Silent Hill? Still doing its thing—tourists keep vanishing like it's a feature, not a bug.

    On national television, Bruce Wayne’s love life is headline news. The anchor smirked and compared him to that other billionaire playboy, Tony Stark.

    The one running things? A one-eyed guy who looks like someone shoved a hard-boiled egg into a leather trench coat.

    And Dante’s first mission?

    Head to Arkham Asylum.

    As HR.

    To recruit Harley Quinn.

    Right. Totally normal day.

    Summary

    What Remains is a dark, dreamy exploration of memory, magic, and the things we can’t quite forget, even when we try.
    Hermione Granger oversees the Archive: a vast, living vault of magical memory buried deep beneath the Ministry. Memories are going missing. People are unraveling. And the magic holding everything together is beginning to... shift. The Ministry wants answers, and they’ve brought in an outside consultant to help her find them—Draco Malfoy. Reformed. Brilliant. Still impossible.
    What starts as a tense partnership quickly becomes something far stranger. And the deeper they go into the Archive’s secrets, the more it seems to be watching them, shaping itself around their history, their regrets, and something else neither of them can name.
    The war is over, but the scars are deep. Magic has grown colder, quieter, and more dangerous.
    If you’re drawn to stories that blur the line between romance and haunting, between past and present; if you like sentient structures, a powerful Hermione, a morally gray Draco who never really stopped burning, and magic that feels like myth, then this one’s for you.
    And fair warning: the Archive always takes something in return.

    Summary

    An ill-timed attack at sea forces our heroes to stop off in Kanakan, to deal with unfinished business, underground ruins, and unaccounted-for True Runes. But the troubles of adventuring with people who only knew you as a child are as fraught and perilous as any puzzle the Sindar could devise.

    Or, “I went on a dungeon crawl with the most badass people in the world, and the best thing I can say about it is that none of us got crabs.”

    Summary

    When they step back out, Krell is already bent over on his bunk, and Cathy doesn’t know if he’s supposed to look yet. Or how much/at what juncture looking says, “ah, yes, I’m a detached medical professional observing my patient,” and where it tips into, “I’m a fucking weirdo making hard eye contact with my general’s asshole.”

    Summary

    Two years.
    One mission line.
    She's a handler. He's the field agent who never listens.
    No names, no faces. Just clean executions and encrypted orders.
    She didn’t mean to get attached to a voice.
    He wasn’t supposed to care who was on the other end.
    But when your job is keeping someone alive with nothing but your voice—
    things tend to get... personal.

    Summary

    Fourteen day shifts that Mel and Frank share after he returns to work.


    He instinctively looked for a braid and scrub pants, the only fit he'd ever seen her in. It took his brain a hot second to realise the woman in jeans, white sneakers, and a ponytail through her snapback was actually Mel.

    At which point he walked full tilt into a wall.

    Summary

    "Someone's been stealing from me,” Sylus observed, a dulcet honey tone that made grizzled mercenaries remember urgent appointments in other cities.

    You'd stopped flinching at it somewhere around month three, mostly because flinching undermined confidence in your abilities, and god knows it didn’t take much to unseat a woman at tables built for men.

    "It would appear that way, yes."

    Behind every successful crime lord is a long-suffering woman with excellent crisis-management skills, a flexible definition of ethics, and the unenviable task of keeping him profitable, placated, and mostly non-homicidal.

    You manage Sylus Qin’s empire. He just hasn’t realised you’ve been managing him, too.

    …Or has he?

    Summary

    Doctor Crowley has turned truancy into an art form, lecturing only under sufferance. Doctor Fell has signed up for his undergraduate course and has no plans to let him slack off.

    When a faculty member is found dead, our heroes start forming uneasy suspicions. What was the occult symbol drawn next to the body? Why does it feel like they’ve known each other forever? How is Crowley supposed to tell police that he thinks the murderer is a demon he summoned 35 years ago? And what about that statue that’s the spitting image of the victim?

    It’s a murder mystery/romance/who-turned-them-human not-AU, set at a university in Scotland, with lots of (as-yet skippable) smut, ✨sexy maths✨ (reportedly), and one trans angel.

    Summary

    The war should have ended years ago, but Voldemort reigns, and the world has been carved up by the victors. Hermione Granger was supposed to be dead. Instead, she has become something far more dangerous—a ghost buried deep within enemy lines. Bound in an unwilling marriage to Voldemort’s masked enforcer, she haunts the halls of an ancient, crumbling castle, where secrets whisper through the walls and ghosts linger in the corners of her vision.

    Beyond the fortress, the world rots under tyranny. Neville Longbottom, tormented by an evil she-devil, and forced to don Death Eater robes, bides his time to strike.

    But monsters are not so easily slain. As Hermione plays the devoted wife, she sharpens the blade meant for his throat. Yet the deeper she sinks into the deception, the more the lines blur—between loyalty and betrayal, prey and predator. And the closer she gets, the harder it becomes to remember: this was never meant to be a love story. Because in war, even saints must learn to play dirty.

    Summary

    Hans Capon has no shortage of enemies who threaten his greatest secret. Will his undoing be a meddling uncle, a bride who knows too much, or the Royal Chamberlain with his clever schemes?

    Leaving the ashes of Suchdol behind, Hans and Henry ride east—eager to outrun duty, wedding bells, and perhaps even Lady Fortuna herself.
    But a trail of stolen silver and a missing horse soon drag them back into a war that refuses to end, even without a king on the throne.
    How long can Hans and Hal keep their love hidden? And when it comes to light—will it be enough to hold them together, or will the world tear them apart?
     

    This fic follows Lord of the Distant Isles but can be read on its own. Updates Mondays.

    Summary

    In a world in which Voldemort never existed, pureblood supremacy reigns supreme. And in this stratified and wretched world, two children meet within the hallowed halls of a great, ancient magical school. It is within these halls that futures are made — particularly that of a Muggle-born girl and a pureblood scion.

    Within these halls, and within these two, the hierarchies of their blood-supremacist world are laid bare.

    This is a tale of a boy and a girl.
    A tale of figs and of wasps.
    But most of all, it is a story about how love doesn’t save anybody.

    Inspired by “Lay Waste the Sky” by FreyaFallen

    Summary

    This collection brings you deleted scenes and one-shots because some moments were too good to leave unwritten.

    Expect sappy declarations, smut that’ll make you blush, and well-earned happiness.

    You can read these without reading the full series, but why deprive yourself of the complete emotional destruction? Highly recommended for maximum swooning, crying, and satisfaction.
