You Won’t Be On The Sidelines With Me by Roseamellia

Summary
Touya Todoroki is out—technically. Out to his family, out to himself, out in the quiet way you can be out when you’re still living under someone else’s thumb.
Endeavor doesn’t care about Touya’s truth. He cares about optics.
So Touya gets handed a girlfriend like a press release: Yuu—NYU cheer captain, blonde perfection with a mean streak and sticky fingers, the kind of girl who smiles like she’s doing you a favor while she ruins your life for sport. Touya tells himself he can survive it. Keep his head down. Play straight. Don’t embarrass the future governor.
Then Keigo Takami—NYU’s star quarterback—looks up from the field and locks eyes with him like the universe just remembered Touya exists.
Keigo wants him. Touya wants him back. And Yuu figures it out faster than either of them can admit it.
Now it’s blackmail, secrets, reputation, and a love that feels like jumping off a building and trusting the wind will catch you.

Summary
Lindiranae of Clan Lavellan had been primed for leadership since the day she became first apprentice, but an unexpected turn of fate sees her don the mantle of authority in a way she never expected. Not only must she guide the Inquisition to victory against Corypheus, but she must also learn to navigate a world that is a stark contrast to the one she knows, and master some of her worst fears in the process.
Cullen Rutherford left behind his life as a Templar, haunted by a bloody past fraught with tragedy and failure. The Inquisition offered a chance to find redemption, but not without cost. Yet despite his own private struggles, he finds a sense of belonging in his new role as Commander of the Inquisition forces.
Although the fate of Thedas hangs in the balance, something wholly unexpected blooms within the strife and conflict. Two stubborn, wilful individuals come together and inadvertently soothe one another's old wounds and open each others minds to their very different worlds, despite a shaky start and a lot of awkwardness.

Summary
Falling in love with a rockstar sure is tough. Especially if it's a guy like him. So what? Will you be able to break through his thick walls to get to his heart?
A very dramatic Tsuzuku x Reader story.
THIS IS ALL FICTION!!! NONE OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED!!... atleast most.
DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a story that's supposed to romanticize destructive behaviour and mental illnesses! It's supposed to show how much harm it can make to both sides! And at the end of the day.. **mild spoiler↓**
it's about becoming a better person and showing that everyone deserves a second chance.
Note: Everyone is usually adressed by their real names! Except MiA, b'cause we do not know his real name lolol. So no- I did not make them up.
This story is not meant to make fun of Tsuzuku's old problems and or dissrespect him at all! This is just a fanfiction for us thirsty fangirls~
This story belongs to me! Don't repost or claim as your own in any form! This story is available only on Wattpad, or on AO3 (hiyoriisshiki)©

Summary
Agent 47 knows what he is—an assassin, a weapon meant to be wielded, nothing more and nothing less—he had standards though and only those worthy to use him actually could. So why then after discovering the existence of a young girl designed to be just like him had he thrown everything he had earned in his renowned career away. With no safehouses, or allies, he will learn more about himself than he ever dared to.
A selfish and bitter 47 estranged from Diana is forced to work with Birdie to uncover the conspiracy of project Vika. Victoria is never kidnapped, and is shepherded by 47 instead. But the elephant in the room—Diana's death, her murder—will be the foundation of their relationship.
Diverges from canon starting from 'Rosewood'.

Summary
She reaches out and pats his shoulder comfortingly. "It's okay, Wade. We'll find you somebody else."
Wade doesn't say what he's thinking, which is that he would rather spend the rest of his life alone than ever place his heart in someone else's hands again. He gave it to Peter. It belongs there now, permanent as a scar. Even knowing they'll never get back together, he's at peace with it. His heart is beating faintly somewhere in Peter's cramped Queens apartment, shoved to the back of a drawer between old receipts and takeout menus. Maybe even rediscovered during some half-hearted attempt at spring cleaning, held up to the light for a moment before being tucked away again.
July. East Harlem. Wade texts Peter-- and Peter texts back.

A depressed psych student walks into a therapist's office... What was the punchline, again?

Summary
When Voldemort fell, so did the Malfoy family's reputation. Since then, they've faced a steady uphill battle trying to reintegrate into polite wizarding society. And the best shot they have is with Draco, and the story of his choice not to give up Harry Potter when he'd been captured at Malfoy Manor.
And because it's all Draco knows, he does whatever his father tells him to do, makes every speech that's required, and is very careful to keep his image in the press as spotless as it needs to be. He even agrees to begin courting Astoria Greengrass, because it's what's expected of pureblooded wizards. Never mind the fact that he's gay, or that she's only interested in planning her next drunken night out in muggle London.
The only way he manages any of it is by sneaking off to Potter's flat on his loneliest nights, so he can get fucked into the couch, and pretend he's anyone else but who he'll have to be, for the rest of his miserable life.

"Hmm, so this is a new world, hmmm, and this body, while not fully mine, is similar enough to use for my purposes. Why master, if you were here, you'd probably already be causing discord....but since you are not, then I shall gladly spread deceit to this world they call earth~."
A figure in a black and purple victorian suit says as she eyes the crowds of humans walking by from her vantage point on the rooftop before with a grin and flash of light unseen by the pedistrans below she vanishes and from the adjourning alley a woman with unnaturally pale skin like porcelain and unique purple eyes is seen walking through the streets her features beautiful yet inhumane as her pointed ears and folded wings that merely pass as part of her esmeable cause the passing crowds to stop and whisper some with jealousy others with envy and even some with lust. -

Summary
When he closed his eyes, images slipped in immediately. Blood on concrete. The smell of gunpowder. A flash of teeth, a clinical touch where he wanted it least. Dazai’s brain supplied them automatically, like it was bored and rifling through a filing cabinet labeled Worst Possible Things.
He opened his eyes again and stared at the ceiling. His limbs felt heavy in a way that didn’t translate to rest. Heavy but restless, like they wanted to move through something rather than settle. There was an itch under his skin that had nothing to do with nerves and everything to do with the fact that he was still here, still conscious, still having to occupy his own body.
or: Insomnia makes Dazai restless.
Restlessness makes him reckless.
Chuuya makes him lie down anyway.
