Behind the Display Case
Like pastries glistening in the light, these are untasted but interesting works. AKA, the solution to the stupid amount of tabs I have open.
Seriously this thing has multiplied like gremlins when you get them wet.
Wordcount tags may not be 100% accurate on in-progress stories, but I try to update them semi-regularly.

Summary
Children grow up fearing the beast below the mattress or under the stairs, crouching in cramped closets and hiding in the dark alleys. They grow up believing their parents when they are told they can’t hurt you.
Because monsters aren't real, right?
Izuku is gifted with an odd quirk of sharp claws and glowing eyes- a target for cruel words and harsh phrases. Freak. Useless.
For years, he longed for his power to one day evolve and strengthen- no longer wanting to be considered the useless freak no matter where he stood. Wanting to be more than something people sneered or raised a brow at.
Only when his quirk suddenly bursts into something of pure horror, something more than the word freak, Izuku wishes he swallowed those words.
Four year old Izuku feared the beasts bellow his mattress. He feared the monsters his mother tried to say didn’t exist.
But as Izuku aged he soon found himself no longer afraid of what didn’t exist. But he feared what stared right back at him in the bathroom mirror.- Language:

He wasn’t going to transform.

No one believes Harry when he insists that he is up to something and a Dragon is stalking Hogwarts. When Malfoy goes missing, Harry makes a startling discovery that changes everything he thought he knew about his rival.

In one world, Ben is on a raid when the hospital is bombed. Forty-three die.
In this one, Cerasi leads the raid instead, and Ben is only a block away when he hears the bomber's engines.
Or:
How the kindness of Obi-Wan Kenobi saves the galaxy.
The first five chapters of this fic deal with Obi-Wan's time with the Young as a General and how he leaves, and the last four explore explore Obi-Wan's return and the reaction of the 212th to learning a bit more about their General's past.
