    Summary

    (I am the one who says 'fuck you') - Benjamin Garcia, 'Ode to the Corpse Flower'.

    Petunia drips magic the way she drips anger. Sparingly. Subtly. Nothing overt or obnoxious. Nothing that attracts the stares of other children or the suspicion of adults. Just things that help her. Her dolls line back up after the football Lily was kicking about ruins their perfect symmetry. Her bed makes itself while she brushes her teeth meticulously. Tea that is slightly too hot or too cold settles to the perfect temperature. Magic maintains the realm of order she has built around herself.

    (A witch!Petunia and muggle!Lily AU, covering the Marauders' years at Hogwarts and the First Wizarding War).

    Summary

    “Satoru!” the black-haired man said cheerfully. “Long time no see.”

    The white-haired man froze, and almost right as that happened, the box started to shake.

    Kagome’s body moved on instinct. Her gut telling her that something bad was about to happen, her knowledge that she could stop it, her deep conviction the white-haired man deserved to have someone on his side — it all took over, and she couldn't have stopped to think about it if she wanted to.

    Just as the box was launching itself forward, she’d stepped in front of it, raising a hand. Her back collided with that of the white-haired man, so she was certain whatever was coming wouldn’t get in contact with him, another unconscious decision. Since she didn’t have anything to channel her energy into, all she could do was raise the staff she’d grabbed earlier. It wasn’t anything much, but she could still push her energy through it, using it to shape it as she wished to.

    “Kekkai!”

    Or: Kagome is at Shibuya, and one person changes everything.

    Summary

    She feels herself start to wail while running, the exhaustion is so severe her ankles roll and she loses balance, falling down on some rocks while her knees get cut. She panics when she cannot get up again.

    For fucks sake.

    “Naruto?! Sasuke-kun!” her throat is raw, her hands grip the grass around with so much force her fingernails stab her hand.

    “The plan failed! Everything is gone!” Curling against herself she keeps on crying, everything she hears are her wails, desperate and pained. “Guys! Konoha… is gone!” she yells again.

    Out of her perspective, someone started to laugh. “You see now, my child? fate knows its way and purpose.” Kaguya smirks.

    “Be born again, but never forget. That’s your fate”

    And she falls

    Summary

    Jean's eyes dart immediately to the pale blue gem, embedded in a familiar metallic casing moulded in the shape of a pair of wings, light cyan snowflake glyph glowing in the middle of the gem.

    "Oh, Kaeya!" on any other day, she would have hugged and congratulated him on being recognised by Lord Barbatos and granted a Vision. Today her heart stops at the realisation that Kaeya's life had been endangered to the point where he might not have been in her home right now had the Archons not thrown him a stick.

    Jean is distressed because two of her favourite fellow knights have fallen out with each other.

    Summary

    He was hollowing her out, stealing the comfort of her solitary peace night after night. He cut into her, butchered her, and mutilated her, as if he hoped her heart would look like his in the morning. Perhaps, she vaguely thought, he was the ocean personified. Serene and mercurial. Tranquil and deadly. Pulling Akane down with him, and drowning her beneath the inky blackness of his heart.

    Summary

    When a Japanese flight intended for California lands in New York by mistake, three separate parties are displaced: one a hero bound for an international convention, the second a villain meeting with an American contact, and the third a mother and son hoping to enjoy a relaxing vacation.

    This wouldn’t be too much of an inconvenience were the airline responsible willing to offer a timely corrective flight, but seeing as they aren’t, each group independently decides that a cross-country road trip is their only solution. The issue is, there’s only one rental car, and although Yagi Toshinori is completely willing to ask Midoriya Inko for a ride, Hisashi Shigaraki has spoken to neither, and has absolutely no reservations regarding grand theft auto.

    He never intended to kidnap the teenager sleeping in the car’s backseat, but now that he has, he certainly isn’t giving him back. Not even with Japan’s number one hero and an angry mother on his trail. Because for whatever reason, said teenager really reminds him of his dearly departed younger brother. And, less favorably, his ex-wife. Coincidence really is a funny thing.

    Summary

    “What is that?”

    “Am I to presume you’ve lost your sight as well as your wits?”

    “No, I was only--”

    An exasperated scoff, “Only wasting my time, as well as your own. It’s a child-- a girl, if I need be specific.”

    “May I ask why you are bringing this... child into our home?”

    “You’ve never needed my permission to ask inane questions before." The woman laughs abruptly, but her voice is grave again when she speaks, "No need to make faces, girl. This once, I shall indulge you: No. You may not ask. You will not get any answers from me. Nor, do I suspect, will you find many with her.”

    You wake up in a body that is not your own, in a world you only ever saw through a screen. The threads of the future are in your hands, but there are years yet until the story unfolds... and Flemeth is watching you.

    Summary

    Rebecca Blumenthal is all alone in a strange new world, and she's starting to think she only has herself to blame. Friendless, clueless, and hopeless, all she wants is a way back home. But the way is long and winding, and there's a cold wind coming in from the north.

    Shadows of Undrentide. Earth meets Faerun. Strongly influenced by Stephen R. Donaldson's Mordant's Need and Thomas Covenant series, plus two of my favorite authors who always influence me, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Protagonist described as "delightfully acerbic" and "a profane, temperamental gift" by reviewers. Lots of twists, sharp right turns, banter, humor, angst, and slow character development from a wildly flailing nitwit into a wildly flailing heroine. But still mostly a nitwit.

    Summary

    Rebecca Blumenthal had everything going for her - wealth, power, a penthouse with a view. But, as the boundary between worlds begins to blur, she starts to wonder just how charmed - or cursed - her life really is.

    Pre-NWN 1, a series of bad hair days eventually leading to Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of the Underdark. Earth meets Faerun. Heavily influenced by Stephen R. Donaldson's Mordant's Need and Thomas Covenant series, plus Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett because they're my favorite authors and influence me always. May also contain a smidgeon of Alice in Wonderland. Protagonist described as "delightfully acerbic" and "a profane, temperamental gift" by reviewers. Not a Mary Sue or self-insert, and in fact starts out as a trainwreck par excellence, though not *quite* as bad as Covenant.

    Summary

    The thing about survivor's guilt is it doesn't care if there's nothing you could possibly have done to change what happened when you were sixteen.

    The thing about being sent back in time to try anyway is that you end up having to save the world using such weapons as cookies, arson, and telling the truth.
