    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.

    Summary

    Less than two weeks before the arranged marriage between Mo Xuanyu and Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian transmigrates into Mo Xuanyu's body from another universe.

    His interest in Mo Xuanyu abruptly changes. Too bad Wei Wuxian is trying to run away from Koi Tower (and the upcoming wedding) with all possible haste.

    Summary

    “These meetings are repetitive and unpleasant,” Xu Qingyi announces. “Where, I wonder, are the great ideals of the sect? That we are martial siblings, sworn family that should rise or fall together.”

    Liu Qingge opens his mouth and Xu Qingyi holds up a hand. “You talk to each other like you are bitter enemies. Perhaps one should try pretending your shixiongdi are people you care for.”

    Summary

    When the dust had settled, Jason was left with the unshakable certainty that trying to predict what curveball was around the corner was a Sisyphean task best left for the heritably wealthy. Gotham makes sure to keep her children on their toes, and he learned, over the years, to focus on the things that matter. His job, foster parents, and thirty million foster siblings give him plenty to worry about; there is no sense in borrowing trouble.

    What, then, is he going to do about Tim Drake, Gotham’s newest and least well-adjusted Bat?

    Summary

    They should have known better, Ron would later say. But they fucked up and now all they can do is make the most of the finding out stage. Shame they're back to being nine years old and stuck in the muggle world for another two years. At least the ornery house-elf they brought with them is determined to keep them alive, if only to get a chance to steal the famous McGonagall gingernut recipe.

    Summary

    Ser Jaime Lannister has had too many years with nothing but ghosts and a broken vow to Prince Rhaegar for company.

    When he rides north, he finds in Winterfell’s yard a boy with Ned Stark’s face, Rhaegar’s shadow in his profile, and a calm, Beta-flat scent that shouldn’t tug at him the way it does. Where others see a bastard conveniently tucked away at the edge of the world, Jaime sees something else: the last chance to keep a promise he failed once already.

    All he has to do is stop Jon Snow from throwing his life away on the Wall.

    Luckily, Robert’s oh-so-clever order to “survey” the damn thing gives Jaime plenty of time to try — and more than enough time for duty to turn into something far more dangerous.

    Summary

    In this way, over the course of some years, Mu Qingfang found himself on, well, perhaps not friendly terms with the Qing Jing peak lord, but amicable at the least. Like he had the barest measure of trust from the man. And Mu Qingfang had no intention of betraying that fragile trust.

    Summary

    Besides my mother, Snape had no one. No one who he could call a friend. There was no one he could rely on after my mother left him. Everyone was just using him. Voldemort, the death eaters, and even Dumbledore. No wonder the man was so jaded. How would he have turned out if he had someone to stick by him through anything and everything? A friend who would never abandon him?

    This is the one where Obi-Wan is picked up by the Ohnaka Gang at Bandomeer and thinks, 'pirate or farmer, pirate or farmer, pirate or farmer... PIRATE!'

    And Obi-Wan still saves the galaxy. But naturally, Pirate King Hondo Ohnaka takes the credit.

    Summary

    Modern cultivator, Wei Wuxian, dies in a train crash and is sent back in time to the period of Ancient China he had been writing his thesis on - transmigrated into his own body as a child, dying on the streets of Yiling. He has no money, no family, but a knowledge of modern cultivation and of the historical events that are about to unfold.

    He recalls the recently-unearthed journal of a woman who was imprisoned in Cloud Recesses against her will, and decides that she’s a good place to start to find someone who might be willing to help him dismantle the corruption that had sent the Cultivation World into the Dark Ages so long ago.

    Of course, he had no idea that the person he sought would be the mother of Hanguang-Jun, the object of Wei Wuxian's fascination (“obsession,” his friend had corrected), since he had first learned of his existence in the ancient texts he'd studied.

    Summary

    Don Matteo De Luca owns Inferni, the hottest kink club in Jersey, and reigns over it like the king he is. He may be a business mogul, but everyone knows this is just one of the fronts for his more illegal ventures.

    The Don rules over New Jersey with a iron, bloody fist. I’ve never seen that side of him, only the kind and caring soul he hides underneath his usual stony exterior. He’s just a man searching for someone to cherish and love, a Daddy without his boy.

    Me? I’m that boy.

    Instead, they become closer than ever.

    Summary

    Itachi wakes up thirteen again, and this time, he refuses to let his clan - or himself - be destroyed.

    The future can still be rewritten. All he needs is careful planning, a lot of luck, and a little help from the people he thought he'd already lost.

    ---

    When Itachi wakes up, the taste of his last words to Sasuke still lingering on his tongue, the sweet Konoha air filling his lungs, he thinks, this must be heaven.

    His second thought is, it cannot possibly be heaven, for if there were truly any justice in the world, he would never be allowed inside.

    "Nii-san!" comes the delighted shout, and a pair of skinny arms are wrapped around his middle, and Itachi is forced to re-evaluate his first theory, because there is no way, absolutely no way, that he deserves heaven and his brother in the same breath.

    Summary

    Bilba Baggins has already done this once—survived a dragon, dwarves, and one particularly broody king. But after an old, tired life in the Shire, she wakes up to find herself back at the start of her journey, young and stubborn as ever.

    This time, she’s writing everything down. This time, she’s making better decisions (probably). This time, she will make sure the line of Durin lives and that Frodo never gets his sweet hands on that blasted ring. And this time, she’s definitely not falling in love with Thorin Oakenshield again.

    …Right?

    Armed with a sharp tongue, handkerchiefs, and the exasperation of a grandmother wrangling a bunch of overgrown, bearded children, Bilba is determined to do things her way. Even if that means scolding dwarves, outmaneuvering Thranduil, and figuring out just what is going on with this new, stranger version of Middle-earth.

    Because if she has to do this all over again, she’s going to do it right.

    Summary

    Sometimes it's the Force that insists you travel in time and fix your galaxy. (The Force doesn't seem to enjoy the Sith as much as the Sith enjoy themselves.)

    But sometimes it happens the old fashioned way: you just get stuck in carbonite and by some miracle you don't actually die within the first ten minutes of being thawed out.

    And when Obi-Wan Kenobi gets thawed out, he has managed many things, and semi-infinite patience is certainly one of them. The question is: can he be bothered to actually put that patience into play, or is he just So Done with all this shit?

    Summary

    Harlan Baratheon is the first son and heir born to the recently crowned Robert Baratheon, the First of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm and his Queen, Cersei Lannister. Despite his rocky childhood, he is a wildly popular and much beloved Prince to the people. To the various schemers around his father’s throne, he is a pain in the ass meddler that is somehow always where he shouldn’t be, interfering in their plans.

    Harry Potter is quite over piss poor people raising him and even more over them being in charge of worlds Death has charged him to help, thank you.

    Summary

    Harry Potter has never been normal. Even before he was born, he was a child of prophecy. So no part of his life could be called normal in the slightest. When given the chance to have a 'normal' life, does he even know what that means? No, he's gone through too much to even try, and he's too tired to care. It's too bad everyone expects him to be the upstanding son and heir of the Potter family when he's never had family before in his life though.

    Also, the baby is a little difficult to explain. The baby who may eventually turn into Lord Voldemort...no, nature vs. nurture and all, and Harry plans to nurture the hell out of this kid.
