Summary
He can see the golden rooftops of the buildings, taste the salty air, feel the rough stone of the sun-bleached buildings, watch his feet roam over the intricate tile and stone floors of the village. He can feel energy rush through his veins as the sea breeze blows red strands of hair into his eyes. Everything is okay at that moment, everything is at peace. He is at peace.
Then Naruto wakes up.
Re-write in progress! First chapter is up, and the chapters of the new version are significantly longer. Leaving this here for people to re-read, however.

Summary
“I do not recall telling you my name.” Viktor stated matter-of-factly. “Yet you know it. Have we met?” Yes. Many times. Practically lived together inside their lab, but he couldn’t tell Viktor that. No, this Viktor had no idea who Jayce really was, and he intended on keeping it that way.
Jayce stumbled on his own thoughts trying to find an answer. Shit. Viktor is right, he wasn’t supposed to tell Jayce his name until later in his apartment. Damn it. “Uh—“ he stalled as he tried to think of a lie. “H-Heimerdinger had mentioned you once. You’re his assistant, right? Snarky Undercity kid with an accent? Not many other people here who fit that description.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the Hexcore collapsed, Jayce gets sent back to where it all started, the day he met Viktor, but Viktor seems to have no recollection of him. What happens when Jayce gets another chance, knowing what he knows now.
My take on Season 2 Jayce with Season 1 Viktor until Viktor eventually remembers everything and they live happily ever after because I refuse to give these two any more sad endings!
No idea how many chapters this will have, we're just gonna roll with it until the dopamine stops.

Summary
There's been a storm brewing inside Sakura ever since Sasuke left to seek out Orochimaru, and the growing realization that she might not be half the shinobi her teammates are. She's always been the one that held back and let the boys finish the job, but it's clear she can't let herself be the weak one any longer. It's time to take her fate into her own hands.
It started with breaking into a library. But after a slew of what could be arguably called bad decisions, Sakura puts together an unlikely team of shinobi and decides to take on several impossible goals: defeating Akatsuki, keeping her loved ones safe, and, the most impossible goal of all: the unification of the shinobi world.
Sakura's not going to be the weak one of Team Seven anymore.
(A pre-Shippuden divergence AU. Returned from hiatus!)

Their best isn't perfect.

“Are you trying to get killed, Potter?” Malfoy drawls, stalking forward. Quick as a serpent himself, he reaches out and grabs the snake just below the head. It thrashes in his grip, but is no longer able to bite anyone. “This is a poisonous snake, and I doubt anyone brought a bezoar with them.”
Harry glares. He opens his mouth, and feels the beginning the snake’s language pass his lips, and this isn’t what he wants, what’s the point of insulting Malfoy if he can’t understand him –
Malfoy’s eyes widen. He slaps his hand over Harry’s mouth, “Potter, what the hell–”

Summary
“He has no match in battle,” Apollo said seriously, black eyes burning through Patroclus with their knowledge of deeper things than Patroclus could ever know. “So I shall give him a match.”
In an alternate telling, Patroclus is a farmboy drafted into the side of Troy and barely managing to survive from battle to battle, and Achilles is the best of the Greeks. After interference by the God Apollo, Patroclus becomes the Trojans' best hope and Achilles' greatest labor. Canon Divergent AU *COMPLETE*

Summary
"I mean you have a great theory here, what are you going to do if you're right? What if your beloved Yuri is just a cold blooded killer? Are you going to warn people? Or try to turn him in?"
Viktor looked so serious and somewhat saddened that Chris was actually starting to feel bad about tormenting him this way
"No.... no I'm going to stand by him, he wouldn't have murdered people for no reason Chris!"
....Wait a minute what-
"And even if he IS just a cold-blooded murderer, that's ok! I'll still stand by his side! I will protect Yuri Katsuki at all costs!!!"
Or: The AU where Yuri is essentially Taylor Swift, Viktor is his biggest fan, and Chris accidentally starts a conspiracy theory that Yuri's songs are more about murder than bad break-ups
Also: Meet-cutes, vampirism, and too many crop-tops

Summary
“You just look like a real heartbreaker."
Elsa turned to face her, fast enough that Maren could hear the movement. Her eyes were cold, hard ice. She licked her lips, stared at her with that intensity, the hawk-gaze that brought her goosebumps in delightful trepidation, a predator about to pounce and one could never know whether it was for play or for the kill. This was a woman who’d frozen the ocean over, a woman who’d tamed the elementals of myth with the ease Maren would tame a reindeer, a woman who was all the bedtime stories Maren’s grandparents told her in the flesh.
Elsa looked at her, but said nothing."
------in which honeymaren has a crush, but it so happens to be on the incredibly dense ice-lady-of-the-woods, because nothing can ever be easy

Summary
Sometimes the hardest battle isn’t enough to change a heart, sometimes all the war and blood in the world isn’t enough to shift a single destiny.
Sometimes a simple touch is enough to break down the strongest of barriers, sometimes a single word is enough to make the world quake.
Sometimes the most reaching of changes comes in the form of a little boy sad enough, strong enough, and kind enough to make friends with a monster.
Sometimes one change makes waves.Naruto has been hearing the rumbling growl in the back of his head for as long as he can remember. He’s seven when he tries to talk to it for the first time. He’s the dead last, the failure at everything, so he doesn’t actually expect to succeed.
And when he’s suddenly standing, knee deep in murky water and face to face with a demon, he has no idea what to expect.
As it turns out, the world could use something unexpected.In which Naruto discovers the real meaning of the word monster, Sasuke discovers power and strength and learns the difference between them, and Sakura discovers that being herself is not as selfish as she thought.
Where Kakashi learns to fight again for what he loves, and Obito never stopped.Series
