Summary
Before the smile became a weapon, before beauty became a leash, before Cazador turned his body into a door for others to walk through, Astarion Ancunín was alive.
A magistrate. A son. A vain, ambitious, brilliant Lower City climber with a name, a future, and a mother who called him Little Star.
Unfed is a rock opera novella following Astarion from mortal life through two centuries under Cazador’s control and into the first terrible mercy of the nautiloid. Each chapter is built around a song from the accompanying rock opera, forming an emotional arc about hunger, performance, shame, survival, and the slow discovery that freedom is more than simply holding the knife.

Summary
Please mind the trigger warnings.
Draco Malfoy hadn’t expected to ever see Hermione Granger again. Six months after the war, with Harry Potter dead and the Malfoy name barely spared from Azkaban, Draco returns to Hogwarts for a memorial ceremony he has no intention of attending. Instead, he finds Hermione alone, pregnant, and grieving.
Draco is forced to confront what his family knew, what they ignored, and how deep the rot in his own house truly went.
For Hermione Granger, the war did not end when Voldemort fell, and for Draco Malfoy, the greatest mercy he can offer may be staying far away from her.“So you did nothing.”
“Yes. I did nothing,” he snapped. “I was sixteen, and I did nothing. Then I was seventeen, and I did nothing. Then I stood in a courtroom while people called what I did brave because I failed to identify you properly. I did the smallest decent thing possible after years of cowardice, and they let me live for it. So no, Granger, I don’t expect you to think me innocent. I don’t even expect you to think me human most days.”
She blinked at him, her eyes glassy and unseeing.
"Come have tea at the manor."

Summary
“Oi Deku!”
Go away.
The voice woke Izuku up from the beautiful bit of sleep he’d so desperately wanted to go back to. He stayed put, and his cheek remained pressed against his folded arms.
Maybe if he ignored him, Katsuki would lose interest.
Footsteps came closer to his desk until he was right in front of him, footsteps he’d unfortunately memorized.
“You sleepin’?”
Stop… please—
BAM
Izuku snapped his head up at the rattling of his desk. Smelled like smoke… smoke?! A cluster of orange sparks danced across his desk, eating away at a sheet of notebook paper. One of which had landed directly on his sleeve.
“A-ah-!” He blew hard swatting his hand back and forth to put out the fire quickly.
“Let me help.” Izuku looked up almost thanking him, Katsuki, but how could he be that stupid? Katsuki doesn’t help.
Or
Izuku is living his dream as a hero with his classmates, currently work studying at Endeavors agency for the summer. But when news breaks of a hero who can drag people to separate dimensions starts getting out, his life takes a turn for the better or worse. (Probably worse).

Summary
The thing about progress, or at least what Kyrie finds to be the most frustrating, is that it isn't always linear. If things could happen in sequential order—steps one, two, and three—then he wouldn't have an issue.
After the events of two truths and a lie, some serious therapy is needed—for Luka and Kyrie both.

Summary
E se as intenções de André ao levar Lorena para casa, bêbada e desorientada, não fossem tão boas assim, especialmente considerando que Lucélia já havia dito que ele tinha uma crush por ela?
E ainda mais... E se essa desorientação de Lorena não fosse causada apenas pelo álcool?
Esta fanfic é, antes de tudo, um alerta. Uma externalização de medos e traumas que atravessam a vida de todas mulheres no mundo. Mas também é um estudo sobre o começo de um processo de compreensão, 'healing' e reconstrução — e sobre como apoio, paciência e amor são essenciais quando alguém tenta encontrar entendimento e o caminho de volta para si depois de um trauma.
NÃO prossiga antes de ler as tags com os CWs. Esta história contém temas e descrições extremamente sensíveis e explícitos.

Summary
What if André’s intentions in taking Lorena home, drunk and disoriented, were not so good after all, especially considering that Lucélia had already said he had a crush on her?
And even more... What if Lorena’s disorientation was not caused by alcohol alone?
This fanfic is, above all, a warning. An externalization of fears and traumas that run through the lives of all women in the world. But it is also a study of the beginning of a process of understanding, 'healing,' and reconstruction — and of how support, patience, and love are essential when someone is trying to find their way back to themselves after trauma.
DO NOT proceed before reading the tags with the CWs. This story contains extremely sensitive and explicit themes and descriptions.
*Note on the title of this work: I decided not to adapt the original title into English. The context is still Brazil and Brazilian culture, so I left it as 'Cinderela'. The name comes from "Boa Noite Cinderela" (Good night, Cinderela), a common brazilian expression that refers to any and all date rape drugs (roofies).

Summary
Rocky and Grace are back aboard the Hail Mary for the first-ever mission in the Star Angel Program launched by the Eridians to help save nearby star systems that are likley to support other intelligent life.
All is going well until their new-and-improved astral sensing technology picks up a strange radio signal from a nearby moon.
OR
The moon itself was fairly large, clearly the largest in Epsilon Eridani b’s orbit, and the magnetosphere of the gas giant could potentially stabilize a body of water like that to some extent, but there would have to be an immense atmospheric pressure on the moon for an ocean, because that’s what it was, to exist.
Once in stable orbit, Grace was able to see the ocean itself through the hull cameras of the Hail Mary.
“That’s very strange," He remarked.
“Not very. Look at mountain ridges. Moon mountains release gas. Enough atmospheric pressure for ocean,” countered Rocky.
“It’s not that,” began Grace, “It’s red.”

Five Times Jane Learned Love Stayed, And One Time He Asked It To by Word_Woven

Summary
Patrick Jane is recovering.
Technically.
The visible injuries are healing. The hospital is behind him. The worst of the blood, smoke, surgery, and terror has passed into the kind of aftermath everyone keeps trying to survive quietly. Lisbon brings him home. Cho makes him rest. Grace makes him eat. Rigsby carries what Jane cannot. The team rearranges itself around him with the stubborn, practical love of people who have already almost lost him once and have no intention of doing it again.
Jane notices all of it.
Of course he does.
But noticing care is not the same as believing it will stay.
Recovery leaves him slower, weaker, needier, more frightened, and far more inconvenient than he knows how to tolerate. And Patrick Jane, who has spent years making himself useful, charming, clever, and difficult to keep, has to learn something far more terrifying than pain:
Love does not vanish when he becomes hard to care for.
Sometimes it makes tea.
Sometimes it brings soup.
Sometimes it stands guard outside an office door.
And sometimes, when he finally asks someone to stay, it comes home.

Summary
"There is a bird, a starling, he thinks, that sits caged in the center of his chest. He had been a child, knees not skinned but bruised, rawboned and cold even in the summer sun, when he had first noticed its cries. He was unmoored, no hand in his to guide him, no touch to comfort. The world slid away from him in lazy waves. He had been lonely, so very lonely, before the bird showed up. Armand knew it was a starling because it was extraordinarily gifted at mimicry. With the bird’s guidance, he became similarly gifted.
Just a whisper then, an urge that became an echo that became a suit of armor: you can become someone other than yourself."
Summer is the worst time of year to be anything at all. In dark corners and shadowed places, Armand attempts to carve out something new.
