Summary
Toni’s gums ache for a split second, fresh blood flooding her mouth before she swallows it.
And in that next second that curl of darkness inside of her sits up and decides that this, that Howard’s continued cruelty and abuse, will no longer be allowed.
Toni licks the blood from her now too sharp teeth before she plants her hands on the floor in front of her and pushes herself back up onto her feet.
This time when Howard lashes out at her Toni ducks low to avoid the blow.
Crouched on the hall floor, sharp nails digging into the dark wood beneath her, Toni hisses, takes a moment to calculate, and then she leaps.

Summary
AU. Harry accidentally Apparates to an empty Grimmauld Place when he’s nine instead of to the top of the school roof when he escapes Dudley’s gang. The house is empty except for portraits and sometimes a speaking wooden face, and Harry has to kill his own food, and there’s something nasty in the cellars, and some of the portraits are mad. But this is still a vast improvement over the Dursleys.

plenty of droid perspectives! (maybe shoulda names the collection 'non-human perspectives' or smt, oh well)
and as an extra treat (unrelated to the collection) plenty of clone povs too, nice
also excellent vibes on Eno's logs, really capturing that pre 19th century scientist-explorer travel account vibe

Reincarnating as a crow was nicer than you would think... until the Trouble Twins found the summoning scroll for the Karasu. Then they grew on her, and she had to save their lives. How annoying. They better gave her lots of almonds or she would elope with the ninken summoner!

Summary
Luo Binghe stares at the fruit in suspicion. He looks up and sees that it fell from a tree, growing conveniently at an angle out of a tilted plateau pushed up by the earthquake. Before Luo Binghe’s eyes, a light breeze shakes the tree’s branches, loosening another swollen purple fruit directly into Luo Binghe’s hands.
Alright. Something is definitely up.
A few months into Luo Binghe's journey through the Endless Abyss, things get a little strange. Is he finally getting lucky, or is someone—or something—looking out for him?

Summary
Liu Qingge and Shen Qingqiu are accidentally transferred deep into the demon realm by an ancient relic. Well, the relic did what it was supposed to. That two sworn enemies were transferred when one touched the relic carelessly with the other trying to stop him – okay, less ‘accident’, more ‘sudden’.
At least the equally ‘sudden’ favor from this powerful demon might keep them alive long enough to get out of here … maybe that thought was too optimistic.

Summary
After suffering an injury during the expedition, Levi is presumed dead and he gets left behind to survive in the wilderness on his own. He’s ready to accept his gruesome fate, however, nothing ever goes according to plan.
Saved by Eren, a fifteen-meter class, highly intelligent titan whom the short-tempered captain also nicknamed the Stalker, Levi is forced to reconsider his values in life.
Will Levi exploit Eren’s potential as the most important asset humanity has ever gained, or will he challenge his own views, acknowledge his affection towards the puppy-natured titan and treat him as human?
Eren lived without any direct human contact for as long as he could remember, but he’d always been fascinated by the small creatures who roamed the land. He’d been watching them from afar, but one day he had no other choice but to step in.
When Eren saved his Little One, his most precious human, he didn’t yet know how his entire life as a titan would change. When once he only knew solitude, he would experience love, friendship, and sacrifice. Could a titan like him ever become human?
With a little love and sunshine, it doesn’t seem impossible~

(vibrating in unsurpressable excitement)
(everything about this is so good)
(especially the investigation & the shifter plotline, don't think I've ever read such a multi-pronged story that wasn't published)
(also the grief and guilt and longing are all so very delicious, such satisfying nuance)
(straight on the re-read pile with you)

Summary
This was the worst mission ever.
He'd been aware there were risks attached to rising to become one of the most prolific rookie heroes in the country, but he'd mostly considered the ones like being targeted by villain organizations or losing the last remaining illusions of having an actual private life. Not having the government insist he come along as the backup muscle when they hired three heroes from his company for some vague investigatory mission on an uninhabited island.
In which Bakugou thinks he's going to have the worst week of his life but the opposite kind of happens.

Complicated Creation by Elemental

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

Summary
There was a darkness that lingered just behind his eyes. Slowly growing, consuming everything he knew- and he welcomed it. The cold that seeped through his body and soul couldn’t be warmed by the fire, by the sun, by the light. It seemed like his only relief was when he stared up at the stars at night, lost in its open maw.
He could see Sirius up there, his Dog Star winking down at him from so far away. His last bit of family gone, along with his trust in others. Those that he held close provided no comfort, no words of kindness. Not anymore. Harry felt as though they could see something growing in him-the coiling mass of feathers and teeth that grow within his darkness.
Honestly, he welcomes it. He doesn’t understand why, but the black on his tongue feels like hope, and the night tastes of freedom.

Built In His Image by IStillPlayWithLegos for Se7enthColor
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
24 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
The thing about tar is that it clings, unyielding, to everything it touches.
Tom Riddle cracked innocent, trusting little Ginny Weasley apart with no afterthought. He unmade her, slipped into her soul, and carved out jagged pieces for him to live in, and then one day, she was left alone, defenseless, longing for the caress of his saccharine words.
Ginny spent half the summer mourning for the boy who unraveled her down to her bones and wore her like a tailored suit. Then, when the tears dried, she stared at herself in the mirror, eyes a familiar red and hair black as ink. Ginny smiled; the corners of her lips quirked upwards, just like the one who unmade her.
Well, she would just have to remake herself, wouldn’t she?
Tom Riddle was no God, and yet, Ginny Weasley was built in His image, glued together with what residual tar He left behind.
