    Summary

    Tony Stark’s attention, Peter discovered long ago, is that of a flickering candle—warm one second, gone the next.

    OR

    In theory, Peter knows that people are flawed. That trauma leaves scar tissue, and healing isn’t linear. But he also knows Newton’s Third Law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    And eventually, when you reach for someone too many times without being caught, you stop reaching altogether.

    Summary

    “Hang on, now Darlin’,” a sudden, brusque tug pulled her down and she lost her footing, falling into his lap.

    She felt his breath on her neck, his lips brushing the shell of her ear when he spoke, “I don’t think I heard you right.” She gulped, stomach dropping as one of his arms snaked around her waist, the other came up to rest on her throat. She needed to disentangle herself, to get away from him, but he was too strong, and if she was being honest, she wasn’t trying terribly hard to get away. Lucy wasn’t sure she even wanted whatever was happening to stop.

    “You tellin’ me Miss Prim and fuckin’ Proper was fixin’ to sneak into my room and let me break her in before her lil boyfriend?”

    ---Or

    After losing her father and being abandoned by the Ghoul, Lucy spirals even with Max by her side, unsure of what she wants or who she is anymore. Luckily, a familiar face returns to help her explore all her worst impulses and vices to escape herself. But her evolving relationship with the Ghoul begins to drive a wedge between her and Max. How can she keep Max when she's not the person she was before? How can she tell the Ghoul she knows he's Cooper Howard, and why is he the only thing that feels like home?

    Summary

    Maybe if she were unemployed and back at Point Place she would have found it in herself to obsess over Steven Hyde, be endlessly consumed by him, and let that failed fantasy fill her with dread. Maybe that’s not true, maybe Jackie Burkhart has always found some delusional self-important front to stow all the pain behind and power through thinking all her plans would manifest if she imagined them glittery and glamorous enough.

    But it doesn’t matter. In Chicago she doesn’t even have the time to know what part of her mind is real and what part’s been playing tricks on her. In Chicago, she’s been left with no choice. In Chicago, Jackie can only choose the city.

    basically, jackie burkhart, at age 19: i’m probably heartbroken but i have a job so idrc abt that rn

    Summary

    Follow Class 1-A as their principal organized a field trip to Yokohama! In their short trip there, they must change their perspectives and learn exactly what it means to be justice and what it means to be villains.

    Summary

    “I have to go,” Draco blurts.

    Harry blinks at him, clearly caught off guard. “Er...okay,” he says, glancing around as though trying to locate whatever he’s missed. “Did something happen?”

    Yes, Draco thinks miserably. I’ve just realised I want to kiss you, and worse, that this is the second time I’ve had that thought, which is entirely unacceptable and requires immediate removal from your presence.

    Summary

    As much as she wished she could control it, even at 18 she couldn’t stop the way the tears would build up whenever she was stressed, or scared, or just plain upset. She also couldn’t help the fact that once everyone found out what was going on behind closed doors at her birth father’s house, everyone took it upon theirselves to try to play “savior.”

    So, yes, Isla Fawn Sommers was the resident town pity project and apparent crybaby.

    Despite the fact that she tried her hardest to be normal, she never felt truly whole, never felt truly safe. Not until she met one Mikaelson—and certainly not until she met the rest of them.

    Getting kidnapped may have sucked, but she wouldn’t change it for the world. Not when she had met one of her soulmates because of it, not when she had met all of them.

    Now that they had her, they’d never let her go. She was their sun, their moon, their stars, their earth, their galaxy. She was their everything. She was their darling Fawn, always and forever.

    It just sucked that Elena and her friends didn’t seem to understand that.

    Summary

    Waking up at 12 Grimmauld Place wouldn't have been something concerning except for a few things.

    1. Harry had fallen asleep in the Eighth years' dormitory.
    2. He wasn't even in the right bedroom at Grimmauld Place.
    3. Sirius Black was standing right in front of him, looking very much alive.

    Summary

    After Aizen’s defeat, Gin Ichimaru finds himself in a bizarre dimension of quirks, heroes, and villain but manages to find himself a new hot, tall and big breasted spitfire with red hair to protect and become romantically attached to.
    (Said spitfire very much does not appreciate such a description considering that as the Flame Hero: Endeavor, he needs no protection thank you very much.)

    Two wrongs don't make a right, but two assholes somehow make a functional Todoroki family. A collection of drabbles about Endeavor's life with Gin, their four children, and pro-hero life.
    Slice of life crack, outside POV, and a million misunderstandings (but not between Gin and Enji).

    Summary

    (Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)

    Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”

    “Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”

    “Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”

    “I-I’m what?! W-wait!”

    tl;dr

    Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

    Summary

    After taking a job as a bartender at an upscale club for "gentlemen," Taehyung realizes just how overindulgent the world can be. While people can drop a couple thousand on alcohol in one sitting, he's barely making ends meet. The distance between him and the clubgoers becomes all the more apparent when the club's star escort catches his eye. Jin is out of reach and unafraid to say so, making it clear that his place is in the lap of luxury, and Taehyung belongs behind the counter. Yet, despite their vastly different lives, neither of them can stay away from the other.

    Summary

    When Grover first caught a whiff of Mr. Jackson’s scent, he knew something was up.

    Sure, the man looked normal enough from Grover’s brief glimpse of him through the windshield as Mrs. Jackson’s Toyota Prius trundled up the long driveway. He had sunburnt shoulders and was still wearing a pair of bright yellow bib-and-brace oilskins, like he’d just come back from his job on the fishing trawler.

    But once the car got close and Grover caught Mr. Jackson’s scent, all of Grover’s fur stood on end.

    Because beyond the sweat, salt, and dead fish he could pick up, there was a strangely synthetic human smell. It was sort of like how Fanta smelt like oranges. Which was to say - and a sharp stab of anxiety wormed its way into Grover’s heart at the thought - Mr. Jackson smelt like he was a fake human. Was Mr. Jackson a monster in disguise?

    ~~~

    In a moment of weakness, Poseidon makes a decision. He chooses a decade of a mortal life so he can be with Sally and his son. But when a god, especially one as important and powerful as Poseidon, becomes mortal, there are consequences. (Or that fic where Asclepius is taken instead of the lightning bolt.)

    Summary

    Ponyboy considered herself to be as regular as regular came. Perhaps the definition, even. She was unassuming. Not like her brother Soda, who could have been a movie star. Not even like Darry, who everyone at school loved even though he was a Grease. Pony got overlooked; and more often than not, she was fine with that. Darry probably was, too, if it meant she was staying out of trouble.

    Though, trouble was kind of built into her. Not like she could help it. That was just what growing up around a bunch of greasy boys does to a person.

    *****

    Basically, Ponyboy Curtis is a girl, which changes a few things, but definitely not everything.
