Summary
The status quo Mossflower has enjoyed for the past three years begins to fracture with the arrival of a weary traveler from the far Northlands, one with news of enemies long since nearly forgotten, and is later shattered completely by a group of mice fleeing plague and death in the East. For Martin, this means a chance to set right what he views as one of his biggest mistakes by liberating the slaves in the far-off fortress of Marshank. For Gingivere, it means the sudden assumption of the responsibilities he was born to inherit.
For both, it means that their strengths and the lessons learned as the sons of Verdauga Greeneyes will be tested to their absolute limit.Series

“Do you believe in God?” Till asks him, as if he just learned the very concept.
“No,” is Ivan’s immediate reply. He pauses, sees the embarrassed flush on Till’s cheeks, and changes his answer. “But yes.”

Summary
It’s just. A bit more complicated than that. Kasumi and her, they weren’t a thing. Not really. At least, not it the way the she'd known romantic relationships to be.
A slight dive into Sakurako's feelings for Kasumi, and the way they make her doubt just as much as she wants.

Summary
In the reflection of the window, Cad shifts, and the face that stares back at him is horned and red, beaming with sharp teeth, and eyes that dart rapidly around as though they can no longer quite see the world they live in.
“I’m sorry,” he murmurs to it, closing his eyes and letting his forehead rest against it with a quiet thud. In his mind, it cackles at him anyway.
(post e83, the encounter with the horned devil in the Happy Fun Ball. Cad sees some similarities he would rather not)

Summary
Korra flees her oppressive training and escapes to a darker, more unstable Republic City, lost, afraid of revealing herself as the Avatar.
She survives. And she finds more than she could ever imagine: hopelessness, despair, chaos, friendship, purpose, and eventually, happiness.
Maybe even a home, if she can keep it safe, and keep her world together.
---
This is a slow burn, Korra-centric fic, where she rises from a scared woman on the streets to an Avatar. The setting is close to post-ATLA canon, with a simple divergence that ripples through the story, OCs, and some small changes to characters and lore. Not shipping focused, though that may change.
Marked mature as a precaution. Violence is not excessively graphic, and non-con is mild and very rare.

Summary
“Why would you even stay here with me, Void? You act as if you liked me.”
There’s no menace in Welt’s tone, but he’s strict enough that maybe this is what Void needed. The Archives pulls away from the other’s personal space and heads to the door, looking back at Welt only before he disappears to truly let the Herscherr work in peace. “You don’t have to worry, I don’t. I will let you be.”
Or: without their intention, but it starts badly, only to have it even worse, until they both break... Until, eventually, AI and Old Man realise their own feelings. Void takes care of this stupidly selfless altruistic idiot—and Welt returns the favour

Summary
Shouto draws nearer. The boy stays in place, fingers curling slightly into the grass as he looks up at Shouto. Shouto tilts his head.
“Was that you?”
He stops a foot from the boy. The sunlight overhead catches the object on the ground before him, casting his chest in a brilliant shade of scarlet.
A perfect ruby oval, barely larger than the size of the boy’s fist, lying on the grass between the boy’s arms and shimmering under the sun.
Shouto stoops down, a hair’s breadth from the boy, eyes wide with excitement. The boy’s eyes narrow at him, though his suspicions are lost on Shouto. Eventually, he turns back to the ruby oval.
“This is a dragon egg,” Shouto breathes, heart pounding wildly with excitement. Beside him, the boy scoffs.
“Obviously it’s a dragon egg, genius.”
Todoroki Shouto meets Bakugou Katsuki, attempts to become a dragon whisperer, fights a demon army, hatches three dragon eggs, and falls in love. In an entirely chaotic order. -

Summary
Hitoshi is in Class 1-C. After the sports festival, a number of things changed. He started training with Aizawa, for one— working his ass off to achieve what he’s been told is the impossible,— he met the love of his life, and he’s been given permission by the orphanage to stay out after school longer than before; it’s a privilege he’s making the absolute most out of. In the midst of it, something shifted. Shouta requested to speak to Hitoshi privately about it, introducing the student to someone very important, hoping their conversation can serve to be productive.

Summary
Jing Yuan can count how many times he walked on Xianzhou Luofu and other planets. It’s a joke he made everyday. However, familiar faces presented a new challenge.
Kafka can provide opportunities when her opponents played their cards right. Most rather stink of fear that she cannot understand. Unfortunately, they all have been foreseen by Destiny’s Slave. The emissary of an Aeon.
How many times have they met? How many times did they almost never met? They lost count in the destruction and abundance.
The general was reduced to a mere shell filled with memories. Elio deemed it as a danger. A danger to whom, they never specify.
The moment their eyes met, they understood each other.

Lieutenant Malavai Quinn had once been foolish enough to believe in heroes.

And then Lord Baras's new apprentice walks into his life.

Summary
The Vaughns become the Blairs. She becomes Katie. Katie. Katie. She says the name aloud until it sounds right in her mouth and she says it in her head until it feels like hers. It might never be. She can tell herself that it’s not like she picked it off a cemetery headstone, but she might as well have.
It’s a dead girl’s name.
It’s perfect for her.
