Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

Summary
Grimmjow pushes his tongue up into his gums. Harder, harder–
Pain kicks through his face, throbs so hard he flinches.
"Hey," Kurosaki asks, "you okay?"
Grimmjow expects blood or spit when he scrubs his knuckles across his mouth, scowling, but there's nothing. "Fine."
(Something is wrong.)

Summary
“Sorry- We don’t-“
“No, just, can you,” God, this is so stupid. Satoru clears his throat, puts his own hand on his knee. “Just my hand, first, maybe?”
This is, without a doubt, the most vulnerable Satoru has ever felt. He watches Suguru’s eyes soften with understanding, and he nods wordlessly.
/
(Or: Satoru lets infinity down.)
/
He moans, overwhelmed, and into the skin of his torso, Suguru mumbles “Tell me when to stop.”
He says it like a plea, like he needs Satoru to keep him in line because he’s losing his own control.
What a silly thought, that he’d be so undone just with Satoru’s skin— but he is, they both are, ridiculously desperate for something so ordinary and carnal they never noticed they weren’t immune to it.

Summary
Satoru presses his mouth to the space over Suguru’s heart, and falls asleep abruptly. Suguru cannot. He listens to the rhythm of Satoru’s breath, the heat of it on his chest, the slack of his fingers and the drape of his ankles. Counts the hairs that fall across Satoru’s forehead and traces the curve of his ears. He is so beautiful in repose. Suguru wants to shift, crawl down Satoru’s body and fit his head inside his shirt, inside his skin, inside his bones. He thinks it would still not be enough. Thinks of a world free of curses and pain and the sisyphean labour of killing, killing, killing and weighs it against the warmth of Satoru’s body in the mornings and the curve of his grin and the pink of his tongue, and Suguru thinks, so what, so what.
It is not so difficult to consider, here in the gentle dim of night with the boy he loves, absent of consequence. A world teeming with curses will still turn, still endure. He is not a god. He is barely a man. It is not for him to harbour such hubris.
Or: A few years after his defection, Suguru loses his cursed technique and returns to Jujutsu Tech.

Where We Shall Meet, Remember, and Love Again by AAvery

Summary
Tom had grand plans for his latest year at Hogwarts. It would be the year he conquered death, achieved heights most wizards could only dream of reaching. He would settle for no less.
As surely as spring follows winter, as surely as dawn follows night, I will return to you. Through all the cycles of our lives, through conflict and harmony, my heart knows its way home to you.
Fate, however, had different plans for him. Presenting as an omega was only the tip of the iceberg. An unexpected blemish on his perfect plans but nothing he couldn’t handle even still. A mysterious new transfer student who had a sudden and quite jarring fascination with him was a bit more of a curveball, but Tom could use this. Especially when the strange new student came with such a prestigious name.
Being courted by an unknown entity, however, was not something Tom had thought he’d ever have to navigate. Especially one who seemed to know him better than Tom had ever let anyone see before. Add to the mix a Dark Lord who has inexplicably turned his sights towards Hogwarts and this year was turning out to be quite a bit different than Tom had planned. For better or for worse was yet to be decided.Bookmarked by AlexisDarling

Summary
After the war, Harry Potter won. Then he lost everything.
Years of fighting for a world that threw him away the moment he became inconvenient. Years of watching good people die while the Ministry shook hands with the very enemy trying to destroy them. Years of grief that hollowed him out until nothing remained but rage and a single, desperate question:
What if I had done it differently?
A forbidden ritual. A second chance. A body that is no longer his own and a mind that remembers horrors no fifteen-year-old should ever know.
He knows what's coming. He knows who is responsible. And he knows that the Boy Who Lived cannot save anyone.
So Harry Potter will not try.
He will do something far more dangerous.
The future hangs on a single question:
What happens when the Chosen One stops choosing to be good?

Summary
Where the loss of ignorance is more valuable than the knowledge gained, and Edward figures out the source of alchemy a lot sooner than before.
"Edward has cockroaches under his skin and leeches in his veins. He's vibrating and bursting and his body is too small, too big, doesn't fit quite right. He needs Al to know - needs to tell someone, anyone, but he will cut out his own tongue before he burdens anyone else with this knowledge."

Every time Edward sees the circle on the back Mustang's hand, he wants to scream, wants to reach across the desk and shake him, wants to wrap his hands around the older man's throat and ask if it was worth it, if this desk and his rank is worth the screaming, crying, writhing, burning bodies of his people -
"Something to say, Fullmetal?" Mustang drawls.
Edward snaps the file shut, "Nope."

Summary
“Do you think I’m a bad person?”
Satoru sighs. He combs fingers through silky black strands, where he’s already pulled it free from all knots. He takes awhile to answer, and then, he says:
“Wanna know a secret? It’s kind of horrible.”
Suguru seems confused, a little out of it. He whispers back “Sure.”
Satoru looks at him meaningfully, and says,
“I don’t care.”
//
Or: It took some time, for Satoru to get over himself enough to see his best friend spiralling. Shoko cracks open the windows to Suguru's stuffy room and makes them lunch and thinks maybe late is better than never.

Summary
He sat down heavily in his chair, pulling his backpack across the table towards him, pulling his laptop out and opening it back up to the notes he was going back over again. He stared at it intently, the words swimming, and he shrunk the window down so he could open up his word document as well. The line to start his writing blinked in and out of existence while he stared. He knew it was pointless, and that he wasn’t going to get anything done, and he knew that within six seconds of having it open. He closed both windows, and opened YouTube, pulling his earbuds out, but only putting one in to watch some videos.
He was only a couple minutes into his video when he heard the guy who looked like Luke shout he was going on break, and a hand holding a cup appeared on the table in front of him. The Luke-alike dropped into the empty chair across from him as Percy paused the video and pulled his earbud out too fast. They stared at each other for a moment before the man across from him sighed,
“Ok Percy, how’d you find me?”

Summary
In which Grace Burgess shooting IRA affiliated persons without thinking is a pattern, not a one off issue, and she has more enemies back home than she realises. When one follows her to The Garrison, Tommy Shelby is totally unprepared for his life, business and sense of self to be turned upside down, but ready or not, that's what he gets.
Julian Mannox has a chip on his shoulder the size of Ireland, a wicked smile and a plan for vengeance that might end up burning the whole bloody country to the ground. Tommy knows he's a whore, suspects that he's a first rate thief, and begins to realise as their paths cross repeatedly that he's more insane than not, but Tommy's a Peaky Fucking Blinder. It's nothing he can't handle, right?
Authors Note: This is NOT abandoned but I am writing my second novel at the moment, and having a short story collection published. Please be patient!!

Summary
1918.The war is over, but for Flora Green, the battle never truly ended. A nurse hardened by the trenches of France, she returns to Small Heath with nightmares in her head and steady hands that never shake when stitching bullet wounds—no questions asked.
When a brawl at The Garrison puts her face-to-face with Thomas Shelby, Flora makes a decision that changes everything. One calm confrontation with Arthur Shelby later, she's caught the attention of the most dangerous family in Birmingham. Tommy's proposition is simple: three pounds weekly to be their personal nurse. It's enough money to eventually escape Small Heath forever, but the price isn't measured in currency alone.
As she moves between worlds—blending modern medicine with her mother's Romani remedies—Flora finds herself drawn into Tommy's orbit. But in a neighborhood where respectability matters and Tommy's women come with their own histories, Flora must decide how close to the fire she's willing to stand.

Summary
So Suguru’s moving to kiss him— big deal. His breath smells like alcohol, and Satoru should find it gross but he doesn’t. Suguru turns his chin just slowly enough for Satoru to change his mind, but all Satoru does it comply, letting Suguru’s hand guide him towards him with mischief in his eyes and a small smile, and it’s just not a big deal, they’re just fucking around: Satoru feels fully confident about the lightheartedness of this moment right up until the very second Suguru slots their lips together.
/
Or: One kiss is all it takes to make the dam crumble, to make Satoru ache for things he doesn't understand. All he craves is to keep taking pleasure from Suguru, and he can't seem to put together why Suguru's indulging him.

Summary
"...To demand transformation. Obedience. Respect. You understand that impulse some, I think."
I looked aside. "I don't know about that. I heard how you and Chade were bickering over me earlier. I'm a serving man to you both, a tool. What could I possibly know about commanding anyone or anything?"
The knife stilled in the air. "Would you like to learn?" the Fool asked softly.
"Learn what?" I returned, just as quietly. My stomach hurt. My groin did, too.
"What it is like," the Fool whispered, setting the knife aside and staring across the table at me avidly, "To be obeyed without question. To be the master, not the man-at-arms."
Fitz and Beloved pass a heated and tender night together on the eve of the Prince's quest. Conversation is had, secrets are shared, and even more are guarded jealously.

Summary
Fitz was patient with me. Gruff, but always agonizingly patient. He bundled me into a blanket and sat me before his hearth, shut the window, and shoved the bloody cloak into a corner where I couldn't see it any longer. Then he sat down behind me and pulled me roughly into his arms. I went, angry at myself for going so easily. For always caving so immediately to him, this man who gave so much to me, while always holding so much back.
It didn't matter. His arms were the only thing that chased the chill away, so slowly, I let him warm me. We sat without speaking, my back pressed to his chest, his chin hooked over my shoulder, my smooth cheek pressed against his ever-so-faintly whiskered one. It was a peace entirely unendurable. Silently, we both endured it.
Amidst the trappings of a foreign celebration, in a land that is not his own, a White Prophet learns to live again, and his Catalyst offer shelter from the cold.
