Summary
Stack doesn’t let Smoke give up on living.
And Smoke doesn’t give up on Stack.––––
What if Stack was holed up in the juke joint away from the sun while Smoke fought the KKK? And what if he realized Smoke was dying?

Summary
The sick, muddy feeling creeps further up Stack's throat. It gathers on the right side of his neck, and Stack winces, rubbing that spot, too. His fingers slide slickly, as if aided by the wetness of blood. Stack knows damn well the snake didn't get him. If anything, it'd been Smoke's fingers on the line – Smoke, whose flash of irritation has faded into a quieter concern, disguised from the world by the tense set of his jaw. But Stack would know his brother's face in Braille, and he tries for a smile he already knows won't reach his eyes.
“You said we should put off opening?” he prompts.
OR, Smoke and Stack push the juke joint's opening back a day. It might just save their lives.

Summary
After the Christmas argument about Harry's Firebolt, Hermione decides that she's not putting up with the boys' sulking anymore, and she's going to do something about it. What happens next is a testament to the strong bonds forged through people actually talking to each other, the desperation involved in keeping your best friend alive and in one piece, and the desire to build a better, safer world for him to live in, no matter what the objections from the adults.
In other words, the risk in manipulating things to create child-soldiers is that they will decide that you, too, are also something to protect themselves against.
Revised, Edited, and Rewritten: After a lot of feedback about how the writing got better as this fic went on, I've been taking a break, not just to have the burn-out breakdown from IRL work, but also to rewrite some of the earlier chapters (mostly 1-5) hoping to improve on what was already there, and add things I wish I'd thought of the first time.

Summary
After his dream is finally crushed, Izuku isn’t quite sure there’s anything left for him to live for, but...he can’t exactly kill himself either, not without hurting the people he cares the most about. So, when he realizes that the quirkless can’t technically be vigilantes, it seems like the best of both worlds. He’ll be able to save people even without being a hero and, if he happens to die while he’s at it...well, like Kacchan said, maybe he’d be born with a quirk in the next life.
This fic has a discord.

Summary
Elphaba comes to on the train
She knows where she is. She’s on her way to the Emerald City. On her way to meet the Wizard.
It’s not like she’s never come back here before, in her head. She revisits it plenty, and it comes to her repeatedly in her dreams. She’s gone over every minute detail of how she could have avoided her fate, over and over again, chiding herself constantly for her temper, for being so quick to anger, for not being able to think on her feet.
Impulsivity, acting without thinking. Not like that’s how she ended up back here again too.
---
When Elphaba's rash attempt to save Fiyero triggers a spell she can barely comprehend, it gives her something she could have never dreamed of: the opportunity for all of them to have a second chance.

The Truth (and Other Nebulous Things) by Chill_with_Penguins
Fandoms: Wicked - All Media Types

Tags
Summary
They migrate between beds like some sort of strange, three-bodied alien, always pressed together in tangled limbs and huffed laughter and gentle teasing. It works, somehow, and days turn into weeks turn into months, and for the first time ever, Elphaba thinks--hopes--suspects--she might not be alone
OR
None of them were supposed to interact at Shiz. They should've been separate, should never have even crossed paths, really, but they did and they can't change that and to be honest, they wouldn't do it even if they could. What they have is too good to be stopped by little things like society.

Summary
Elphaba Thropp was not a woman prone to regret. Anyone who met her could tell you–she lived fully in the moment, eyes fixed firmly on the future she was determined to build by whatever means necessary. Perhaps that’s why it happened the way it did. Because, despite the way she presented herself, Glinda Upland was a woman built by regret. And so it came to be that, on the third day after the Wicked Witch of the West was defeated, two days after the Wizard of Oz left for lands unknown, and one day after Dorothy finally made it home, the Grimmerie opened its pages for Glinda to give her the one thing she truly wanted– a do-over.

Summary
Peripeteia - noun. a sudden reversal of fortune or change in circumstances.
Luke had spent years waiting for his father, who never came no matter came how much he called. As a demigod, he knew better than to think the gods held any love for him. But when he, Thalia, and Annabeth enter a mysterious doorway, they find a strange world with no demigods at all. Stranger still, the gods themselves are different. They keep acting like they care. Like they never want to let them go.

Summary
Everyone knows that the gods have numerous children. Besides being responsible for controlling aspects of the world, that's what they're known for. Demigods are a dime a dozen, and while the gods do care for their children, we all know that they are willing to send them to their deaths for 'the greater good,' or sometimes just for a chance at glory.
But what if demigods... didn't exist?
What if there was a Pantheon that couldn't have children with mortals, only producing stillborns and monsters?
Faced with the threat of It's world's timeline being destroyed due to this cosmic error, Fate itself seeks to intervene. It tears through reality and snatches away a select few demigods to gift to It's Pantheon, erasing and manipulating the memories of It's most vulnerable chosen, as well as rewinding the years on all that It takes, to help with the bonding process.
This choice leaves 9 demigods trapped in an Ancient Greece that not even they can recognize. Stranded, disoriented, and stripped of their claims, they must tread carefully, for the roaming monsters are not the only threat.

Summary
It happened in the blink of an eye, the rumbling of Hyrule Castle Town suddenly replaced with silence as death descended on the world. Left behind as the sole survivor, Zelda cannot deny that she is fleeing from more than just the memories haunting her as each passing day adds to the weight of her despair, and when a chance meeting allows for her path to cross those of two strangers, it soon becomes clear that they all have more to make peace with than merely their own past as they set out to make sense of what has happened.
