Summary
A hand, grip like iron, catches him around the wrist and wrenches his arm away. “It is impolite to touch without asking,” Hannibal tells him, voice low. The sound makes Will’s heart skip a beat.
“They are my marks. I see no reason why I cannot touch them.”
Hannibal releases Will’s wrist with a warning look. “It will not be without a cost.”
-
An exchanging of marks that escalates, as always.

Summary
Figured out the problem with writing this chapter! And said problem was that it was secretly supposed to be at least eight chapters.
Tags shouldn't change much. I don't usually pre-tag, but I feel like yes this time around since I know the bounds of this book.Life doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway.
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes.
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I'm willing to wait for it.
(Wait For It, by the cast of Hamilton)In which every tragic backstory Alan's given to a character collides spectacularly in a whirl of flame, because the Interspace attacks seemed like a reasonable point to start to fuse the timelines.
or: chosen's trauma, what he and Dark do about it, and the rise of a king.
Absolutely no idea where the line is between Teen, Mature, and Explicit in terms of violence.

Summary
What could possibly lie on the other side of the Sunset Sea? Only the foolhardy or the mad sail into that endless blue! But from that western horizon three strange ships now emerge, bearing weapons of dragonglass and flying the banners of an Empire from across the waves...
Weary from their long journey, these imperial envoys arrive to offer gifts and promises of friendship to the Westerosi. However, while some among the Great Houses welcome the strength of new allies, others are unsettled by the dark omens these envoys bring: prophesies of strange gods, magic that manipulates blood and bone, and stories of deathless warriors that consume the living.
As the War of the Five Kings concludes and a Targaryen Dragon rises in the east, the Westerosi of Dorne and the Reach bargain with pagan imperials seeking a foothold in this New World.

Between the lines, between laughter and war, a story begins – quiet, unexpected, and full of light.
Fred Weasley and Hermione Granger find each other in moments too fragile to last, and yet strong enough to leave something behind.
A tribute to what grows when everything else falls apart – and to what lives on, even when one does not. -

Summary
Stiles figures out Scott's a werewolf, but Scott refuses to listen. With the full moon approaching and Scott too focused on first line and Allison to care about control, Stiles goes looking for answers on his own. A late-night trip to the Hale house gets him chased by the Alpha and saved by Derek Hale, who's not the monster Scott thinks he is.
As their friendship fractures over Scott's anger and denial, Stiles finds himself caught between his best friend pushing him away and a werewolf who keeps showing up when it matters. Derek returns Stiles' phone, talks him down from dark thoughts, trains him to survive, and proves he's trying to help. But Scott, convinced Derek is the killer, frames him for his sister's murder.
Trust shifts. Lines blur. With the full moon and Scott's first game colliding at Lydia's party, Stiles has to choose between the best friend who won't listen and the werewolf who keeps saving his life. Because if Scott's alive, that's better than dead, even if it means standing on Derek's side before either of them is ready to admit what that means

Pre-canon and parallel canon story from Amenadiels point of view. His task. His relationsship to Lucifer. Changes. Development of his brother into the devil. Of Amenadiel falling.
Insane peace of work. One of the best in my eyes here on AO3. -

What if we had a story about Susan's life? This, for now, is a commentary of the problem of Susan after the Last Battle (Narnia) but EVEN BETTER is how Susan CONTINUED to live and I believe over 90% of it.
"A lion told her to walk away, and she did. He forbade her magic, he forbade her her own kingdom, so she made her own.
Susan Pevensie did not lose faith. She found it. "
Highly recommend if you've read the series. ESPECIALLY if you, like me, hated what they did to Susan.

Luz never fit in. But how could she? She was an experimental cross between human and what can only be described as a god. She didn't even know what she really was at the end of the day.

After all, in a world of monsters, what's one more?

Bookmarker's Notes
a hilarious as the underlying concept can be sometimes, if you look at it right (‘luz is secretly a monster’ is not a rare trope, but it is incredibly unique to see said monster be *200 feet tall*) i LOVE that this fic is taken seriously and not relegated just to crackfic, because the idea really does have a lot of potential that is brought to life in this fic
luz’s hangups and worries about being half ginormous dragon aren’t brushed off or played for laughs, they’re genuine concerns, and her friends and found family help her through it!
also, the episode twists are beautiful!! turning the little hand puppet gag in the slitherbeast episode into a nod to ghidorah’s three heads, making the otabin encounter into a monster boss battle vs (tiny) godzilla, and seeing all the witches’ reactions to Titans once luz shows them…
i think my favorite part is king giving luz her own title and commanding her like a demon under his rule, it’s so cute <3

Summary
Hunter finds himself in the impossible situation of waking up in the past, and being himself, unhesitatingly throws himself under the bus in order to help the people who, in his mind, he owes so much more than just his life to.
All Luz sees is a desperate, hurt child soldier who was ready and willing to throw himself into the boiling sea if she so much as hints that it would make her, King, or Eda happy. This sufficiently worries her.
Eda just desperately wants to know who this kid who showed up out of nowhere and cursed himself for her is. Lilith's kid? Belos'? Raine's? Who the heck would have a kid who latches onto the Owl Lady!?
Everyone else is wondering just what the heck Eda did to inspire such vicious loyalty from the former Golden Guard who, at this point, they're almost certain is her son. Lilith most especially.

OOOHHHHH HOHOH I LOVE THIS TIME TRAVEL AU !!! the choice of hunter ends up turning a great spin onto redone episodes - he wasn’t around and thus has no idea what goes on for the most part, so a bunch of familiar canon things still happen unaltered, BUT he’s also making changes, for the better!!
and the dialogue… lovely perfect immaculate etc i love all of these guys so much -

Summary
The night before the duel between Eda and Lilith for a spot in the emperor's coven, Lilith is given a much different curse, with severe, far reaching consequences past anything she could have predicted.
there is no Owl Lady, famous wild witch and most wanted criminal in all the boiling isles.
Only Matka, the mysterous shrouded potioneer and seller of human artifacts in the treacherous Night Market, where it all began.
Meanwhile, in the human realm, Luz Noceda suffers from an odd affliction.

OOHHHOHOHOH THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! loving this alt curse idea - for real, lilith could really have found any sort of curse that night, so it’s surprising nobody else has thought to try this au!!
and ohhh the whole thing with ‘Matka’ and the ancient Clawthorne, Luz’s whole deal and her ‘vivid dreams’, plus the two-sided misunderstandings as they both assume the other’s incorporeal floaty form is for the same reason as their own.!!

Now faced with the challenges of reconnecting with a family he’d thought lost to him forever, the constant reminders of his past failures, and the antics of his sixteen year old self, Leon swiftly concludes he’s too old for this, and has to wonder if it’d been better had he not returned at all.

Summary
Luz Noceda, twenty-two years old and graduating from the Academy of Wild Magic, attempts a chaotic final project combining the powers of the rituals of the Pre-Savage Ages and the glyphs of the new age. In a flash of light, Luz found herself with the power of the Titan’s Gift once more, thrown back in time to the first day she entered the Demon Realm.
She’s back in time without consequences, with the power to change the future for the better! But does she want to? She certainly wants to help people and save those whose lives were lost, yet if she deviates too much, the Luz of this timeline may never become the hero she was meant to be…or worse…she might never fall in love with Amity!
Do not read unless you have seen the Owl House Finale!

Summary
“Did you catch him, Endeavor?” Izuku asks as he stares up, up, up at the behemoth of a man. Cold, blue eyes turn to him, his hard expression never changing. No one says anything for a moment.
“I will,” Endeavor says finally. “Someday, I will find that man.”
Izuku accepts the promise with a nod. He has no tears left and wouldn’t have squandered them on Midoriya Hisashi if he did, so he simply bows deeply to the hero.
“Thank you.”
“Don’t thank me, Izuku. It is my duty. He has disgraced the Todoroki clan for the last time. We will not allow this villain to sully our family name any further.”
Izuku straightens, confusion clear on his face.
“You don’t know why I am here, do you?” Endeavor asks, “Midoriya Hisashi was born Todoroki Hisashi, my younger brother. You are my nephew.”

EXCELLENT lovely well-written fic.. starts out as a very amusing journey of Penny being seemingly the only one to notice ScarVio's various glitches happening as terrifying mutations of reality, and realizing that with how helpful Team Star is in investigating and possibly reversing this, calling the Player Trainer to cause their downfall is shooting herself in the foot... and ends off an emotional and meaningful story about finding healthy outlets for your emotions and not letting them rule you, acknowledging going about things alone often isn't the best way to get anything done even if it feels deserved, and the people you find who can become your most cherished people, even if family lets you down...
ends up bringing Team Star AND Arven, Nemona, and Player Charater Julianne together as an extended friendgroup >:DD

It was an accident, in all honesty he hadn't planned on getting into a relationship, much less accidentally father a child. He thought he was infertile, and the thought of more mini-hims he hadn't known about years ago made him pale and wonder. This mini-him, though? This one was special, though not so mini anymore. And Cloud would fight the Six themselves to keep Prompto and his gang of friends safe.
"Where are your parents, Prompto?" Ignis inquired, a displeased frown settling on his lips as he gazed around the empty house.
"Oh, Dad's not around a lot, he's busy running a one-man business. We constantly text each other though, he's always been there for me even if he isn't here, so don't worry about him, Iggy. Audrey and David... they're not around, like, ever. But, I've got Dad, and Uncle Vincent. They're good enough for me."

Tanjiro dropped to his knees and bowed until his head touched the ground. "Thank you, Doctor!" he cried. "Thank you so much for helping our family! I swear, as the eldest son, I will work to pay off any medical debts for as long as it takes! Even if it takes my whole life, I'll do it gladly! Thank you!"
To his surprise, the doctor didn't respond, and Tanjiro raised his head. Yoriichi's cheeks were flushed slightly, and he was holding his hands up in an anxious protest. "There is no debt to pay," he insisted in a voice that was as soft as his scent. "You owe me nothing."
A slayer of old is reincarnated. Haunted by memories that he doesn't understand of blood and regret, he vows never to hold a blade and takes up the mantle of a healer instead.

It took Kamado Tanjiro a dozen loops to realize that saving his family meant becoming a demon. So he did it again, and again, and again, because he could never NOT save them, no matter what it does to him, how it changes him or what he's forced to do. But, unfortunately for Muzan, everyone, even the smiling and kind Tanjiro, has a breaking point...

Nezuko’s worry spiked and she hurried as quietly as she could after him in time to see him practically shove the front door to their home out of the way and stumble into the snow outside.
In his sleeping clothes.
“T-tanjiro?!” their mother asked from the other side of the room where she’d been building the fire to prepare their breakfast. He didn’t respond, not even closing the door behind him. Their mother looked over to Nezuko who met her worried gaze.
“He had a bad dream,” she said softly.
But something told her it was worse--so much worse--than that.
