Summary
“You will go to the Featherington Lands and retrieve my bride.” His voice thundered throughout the throne room - empty, save for the two brothers now in a heated battle like two stags with locked horns. But even if Colin was taller, a more experienced warrior, his opponent was a king. Colin would only waste his breath and strength if he fought back and evidently, he had several months of a quest to embark on. So, with a clenched jaw, he nodded and stepped back.
Anthony dismissed his brother with an indifferent wave of his hand as he declared, “You will leave at first light and bring Princess Penelope to me.”
–
a journey across lands in the pursuit of duty, and love that disregards duty all the same.

Summary
Twelve years after the war, Hermione Granger becomes Head Archivist of the Ministry’s memory vault—a sentient structure buried deep within the Department of Mysteries that catalogues history and anomalous artifacts.
Then it starts behaving strangely.
It begins with minor clerical errors like false dates on paperwork and a subtle shift of corridors but then escalates to people themselves forgetting—or worse yet, remembering what isn't theirs to remember.When the Minister forces a "consultant" on her team, it’s the last person she wants poking around. Draco Malfoy is an expert in sentient architecture—brilliant, restrained, and far too observant. Together, they’re forced to dig into a history that’s literally rewriting itself, chasing a connection that neither of them remembers, but both of them can feel in the air between them.
“Granger,” he said, voice smooth and amused. “You’ve redecorated since my last stay. Less bloodletting, more bureaucracy.”
She arched a brow. “Malfoy.”
He swept through the room as if it were his, gaze drifting across the warded shelves and magical diagnostics as if cataloging them. “Lovely little sanctum you’ve built. Shame you’ll be demoted to assistant now.”Series

The first time he heard it, he didn’t think much of it. Two old women in the grocers.
“There’s a grim living in the graveyard,” one said.
“Stuff and nonsense,” said the other.
The first woman hummed but didn’t answer.

Summary
When something happens that no one understands, people will weave stories about it. Stories about nature, stories about love, stories about karma.
And a complete picture will require many stories from many people, many different perspectives to weave it together.
But whether they are true or not is hard to tell. It must say, human imagination is born to satisfy itself rather than to provide a clear and unambiguous understanding of reality.

Summary
Khi một điều xảy ra mà không ai hiểu, mọi người sẽ dệt nên những câu chuyện về nó. Chuyện về tự nhiên, chuyện về tình yêu, chuyện về quả báo.
Và một bức tranh toàn cảnh sẽ cần nhiều câu chuyện từ rất nhiều người, nhiều góc nhìn khác nhau để dệt nên nó.
Nhưng liệu chúng có thật không, thì thật khó nói. Dù sao thì, trí tưởng tượng của con người được sinh ra để thỏa mãn chính họ hơn là rõ ràng mồn một về thực tại khó ai hiểu thấu.

Summary
A secret order of demon worshippers is conducting brutal human sacrifices in a snow-covered American town. Each victim is left at a precise location, their bodies forming the five points of a massive pentagram. Their final goal is to summon a prince of Hell.
Craig Tucker, a teenage exorcist raised by the Church, arrives in South Park under orders to investigate the killings. Among his classmates is a twitchy blond boy who prays to dark idols and claims to use black magic. He’s harmless. Maybe. But Craig knows better than to trust what feels innocent.
The longer he stays, the more the lines blur between hunter and haunted. -

Summary
A different take on the story of Hades and Persephone. In which Gojo is Hades and Utahime is Persephone.
The sky opened. Or maybe it was the ground rushing to meet her. Whatever it was—it opened. A void. And then she was falling through that darkness. A darkness that spread outward into a gloomy sky that was endless. An infinite void that stretched outward for an eternity. A land that was cold and lifeless. A land meant for the dead. Utahime fell from the sky…
Until she hit the water.
Until she disappeared beneath the murky surface.
And he watched it all.
He felt the disturbance as his own world split. He watched as the sky above rippled, and lightning ripped through the air. The sky opened with a violent velocity, settled on a single point of ripped space that popped loudly. And he watched as she fell into a place that humans didn't belong. He watched as she fell through the sky like a comet, an uneven flow of energy that disrupted his domain.
Because who was capable? Who would dare?
He watched as she fell into the River Styx.
Leather and bound pages hit the ground at his feet.
Blue eyes narrowed.
He dove into the lake.

Summary
From the tall cornfields they came—children with horns on their heads, led by a sacred purpose: to make
sure that Margareta Brekker dies.
They come under the cover of night as moths, as two-headed lambs, and as slaughtered cattle. Some are even
human, bent backward and crawling with wide eyes and grinding teeth. Now, Greta faces a choice: trust the
stranger and his miracles, or find the strength to reject them. Because the flowers are sick, and it takes only
one sick plant to start an epidemic.- Language:

Summary
The plan begins innocently enough. Concerned about Ginny’s reaction to a recent breakup, Hermione and Neville form a plot to set her up with the village’s most eligible bachelor: Theodore Nott. If this scheme throws Hermione into the path of Theo’s house guest and best friend Draco Malfoy, a quest to unlock the Manor’s library and the search for a lost Jane Austen manuscript, she really can’t be blamed.
This fic is inspired (loosely) by the greatest film ever made: the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. It is dedicated to everyone who has never gotten over the hand flex scene.

Summary
Two weeks after Diluc's ninth birthday, his father, an ill-tempered man whom he has always been afraid of, arrives home with a strange, quiet boy, perhaps a year or two older than him. His skin is a warm, beautiful brown, his hair so black that it appears almost blue in the daylight, and he does not smile. “This is Kaeya,” his father tells him, brimming with adoration. "He will be staying with us from now on. Come and say hello."
As they grow up, Diluc wonders why his father dotes on Kaeya, what it is about him that pacifies his rage, and how he can redeem himself to become worthy of such compassion. One night, after weathering two decades of his father's unrelenting wrath, Diluc returns home to find him dead in his living room, and embarks upon a journey of discovering the truth about his father, Kaeya, and himself, and how the two of them do not differ so much, after all.
A story of dark secrets, trauma, and learning how to love.
