Summary
Six years after he and Viktor part ways on antagonistic terms, Jayce wakes up in the Machine Herald’s medical clinic.
Jayce desperately wants to rub at his forehead, but the binding at his wrist stops him. He settles for squeezing his eyes shut. “Why?” he asks.
Viktor is silent for barely a moment. He says, tonelessly, “I assumed this was preferable to dying.”

Summary
Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.
*
Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”
“None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

Summary
When a long-concealed threat reemerges from Gokudera’s past, Tsuna and the Vongola find themselves embroiled in the midst of a violent family conflict, with their Storm Guardian’s future at stake—and possibly his life.
The man grinned. “I gotta say, you’ve grown up a lot, Hayato. Last I saw you, you were still a little kid playing the piano.”
Gokudera felt a surge of furious adrenaline at the memory. “What the hell are you doing here?”
The smile wilted. “Delivering bad news, unfortunately.”
Gokudera frowned.
“Sorry to tell you this… but your old man passed away.”

Summary
A series of vignettes about Tsuna, his guardians, and the people closest to him—snapshots of the impact they all have on each other (and that life has on them) over ten years.
He never wanted to stand out, not in either direction. Is that really too much to ask? He’s not asking for great! He’s asking for normal, normal.
Apparently it is too much to ask. Apparently it’s always going to be all or nothing with him.- Language:

Summary
Love isn't meant to be kind or pleasant. Love shatters you so it can reshape you. Love tears flesh from your bones and leaves you bleeding and bereft. And yet, therein lies salvation.
Two lovers, a thousand-year curse, and a wish that stretched across time and space. When Ryoumen Sukuna turns Megumi Fushiguro's life upside down in the most unexpected fashion, the sorcerer finds himself on a cruel precipice. In the face of ruin, how far would a shattered soul go to preserve their happiness? Here is a lesson in devotion, and the meaning of godhood.

Summary
To say that Will Graham is still an unmated, childless omega at the age of thirty-eight is his own choice is true. It is not to say that it is his preference. Will wants a mate and a family just as much – perhaps even more – than the next omega. He’s simply never met that one person who fit the bill before. And then he walks into Jack Crawford’s office and meets Hannibal Lecter and well that, as they say in the business, is that.
Now all he needs to do is convince Hannibal of that. But well, this is Hannibal Lecter he is dealing with. It must be done a certain…flair. But that isn’t a problem for Will. Not at all.
After all, snakes may kill mongoose, but one must never forget this as well: mongoose hunt snakes too.
It’s Will Graham’s turn to wage his war.
Or, here is a fic about omega!Will Graham manipulating alpha!Hannibal Lecter into getting exactly what he wants.

In which, Rin didn't make it off the Phantom Train in time...and ended up in Gehenna. The Grigori was not amused. Satan on the other hand- "Aww, come on, smile for Daddy!" "Urusei, baka-Ossan!"

Summary
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
The battle doesn't end when the portal is destroyed, instead it just gives rise to a new one. Satan may have left many injured and dead, but it's the aftermath that has the greatest consequences. The Grigori are all too eager to have a pair of scapegoats for their mistakes that led to the incident but the Cram School students are not about to let that happen. Of course, nothing is easy when you're running, especially when it's not just from a physical threat.
So what happens when you do stop running?

Summary
The Sufferer’s coup was a resounding failure. The Summoner’s, through freak chance, was a bloody and hard-won success. Hemo-discrimination is illegal, now, but old grudges die hard and the higher your blood the worse your chances of making it in the world. The classes that used to be ‘highbloods’ often fall through the cracks, and find work wherever they can get it.
A story about a "concupiscent hire" walking Alternian streets under the rule of his Imperial Humility, the upheaval of an empire, and the whims of pure serendipity. (tumblr tag: A Heavy Heart>
