    Summary

    Tsuna’s inheritance as the Vongola Heir is called into question, and the Ring Battles seem like the perfect solution for deciding the future leadership of the Family. However, the secrets kept on both sides of the battlefield threaten more than just the succession - but as with anything in the Vongola: to the victor goes the spoils.

      Losing Dogs
      by Thai_Tea_Addict | Katekyou Hitman Reborn!

      Chapter 4

      I love all the Author's Notes hahaha Reborn: No Tsuna *spritz spritz 😂😂😂😂 And one of the biggest part of why I love this series is Iemitsu! I Adore his character here. On the surface, he's still what you see in the manga. The long absence, the simp father, the drunkard. But there are mysteries behind all his actions and he still stays true to his love for his family. Only this time, he had a far better reason to show it more.

    Summary

    Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.

    Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.

    (Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).

    COMPLETE.

      A Study of Resonance
      by mymovingfingerwrites

      Percy gifts the stone to Severus. I teared up, it was so touching guh. And guhhh, that ahem! It made the author blushed to write it and it made me squeal to read it! And it was so freaking tame too lololol Such victorian era intimacy. It is not vulgar at all. The most slow of slowburn I have read that I did not even realise I was reading a slowburn. Likely because I don't think the authtor even planned to write a slowburn. Just that when they got into the characters heads, and logic their actions, thoughts, musings and charisma. It just magnetically happens.

      Speaking of which, wow all the complex and changing relationships. All the conflicts and not forting in but still with all the unspoken and spoken expectations colouring everyone's views of each other. So freaking good. This world and it's characters are so vividly wonderfully alive. The payoff between Percy and a member of his family at the 2nd last chapters was such a cathartic release I cried. It was so beautiful the changes and growth hat had happened to made that occur.

      Again, speaking of which, I have cried so many times near the end because of all the intimate feels just dropping in everywhere lol. Percy, severus, tom, landon everywhere. It's one thing to see how percy thinks and feels about everything from inside his head and soul. But it's also another to see him from people most close to him coloured by their own troubled experiences. How he is still more honest and true to his feelings despite everything we saw in his own head. Such wonderful exploration of Percy. The title is truly fitting indeed! I cannot wait for the sequel and a further exploration of his relationships hehehe.

    Summary

    “No killing Goblins.”

    So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours.

    It’s a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn’t belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

    In a dangerous world where magic is real and people can level up and gain classes, Erin Solstice must battle somewhat evil Goblins, deadly Rock Crabs, and hungry [Necromancers]. She is no warrior, no mage. Erin Solstice runs an inn.

    She’s an [Innkeeper].

    Summary

    About a week after that, All Might asked Izuku if he was aiming for the hero course at UA. The question was so sudden that Izuku nearly dropped a microwave on his toes.

    The truth was, if All Might had asked him that a week ago, there would have only been one possible answer to that question. All Might had gone to UA, UA was the best, so Izuku was going to go there too, if he could. But things were a little different, now that he was going to receive All Might’s Quirk.

    “No,” he said, decisively.

    All Might looked caught off guard, which was a very rare expression on him. “No?” he echoed, like he couldn’t believe it.

    A laugh bubbled out of Izuku’s throat. He honestly couldn’t believe it either. “No,” he repeated.

    ___

    Or, All Might tells Izuku about All for One before he gives him One for All, and everything changes.

      Beyond the Broken Horizon
      by JoWithTheFlow

      Chapter 60

      Dang this was good. I absolutely love the premise!!! The writing is so good and wow Izuku is super charismatic here. I love how analytical he is but also just how likeable. And all the lengths he would go to be better like just getting help on how to talk to other people since he never really did since he was four. I love all the different lessons he's learning not at UA just because it's so interesting and different! I also like how he's just smarter in the common sense way hahahaha. Like just hiding because lol, the whole canon show that you are here thing felt so ridiculous. Because they are showing all their strengths and weaknesses to all and sundry before they can protect it. I also really reeeeally love how profound izuku can be dang it. All his conversations especially at the beginning with his peers are just so wise! I wish there were more of him being unexpectedly deep and gives random inspirational speeches that actually work on me hehehehe. Then there is the chemistry between Shouto and Izuku. Dayum that was good. The getting to know each other part, I could really feel it. Admittedly now that they have made their feelings known to each other, it isn't working as much anymore. I hope the author will do something to keep the relationship super engaging without using any common misunderstanding or external factors tearing each other apart tripes though.

      I only wish the author spent more time in Shiketsu. For me, the best part was before the Eri arc kinda because everything was kinda just starting and not many people really know Izuku yet. So his hero persona is quite fun to read from. I didn't really like the experience of reading when Izuku is anxious and stressed and things seemed grim.
      The parts that I feel could be better, it wasn't bad, just that it could be better. They are basically all the characters in Shiketsu especially his classmates. We don't really get anything from them except superficially. I feel like the author introduced all these people and made izuku class rep and made him go around memorising their names and quirks but until now, we don't really get any follow up for that? I kinda thought that would have been great to showcase his leadership skills during the battle royale round at the license exam but then it showed that only he and inasa from year one joined so that was out. Honestly I wish the school was fleshed out more for all that what they though izuku is very apparent, I don't get much of them. The type of detail I was is more with the canon cast unfortunately.

    Summary

    "Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”

    “What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.

    “Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

    Summary

    Leo's first order of business when he is dropped unceremoniously into the pokemon world is to survive. Seeing as he is in the middle of the wild with only a small pocketknife, some papers, and a backpack, and with no signs of civilization in sight, that is setting up to be quite the task. Semi SI-OC.

      The Natural
      by lightningwarrior215

      Chapter 46

      Absolutely effing brilliant. The worldbuilding and lore and the pokemon! They all feel like living breathing creature of wonder. I love how leo explores the world and these sentient beings that are almost magical organisms and also, how they go about discovering if any wants to follow along with him. Ahh, tthe discovery of the unknown which really all pokemon are to someone who doesn't have any pokemon in their world means when interacting with them, all senses and mind are on high alert. And that is super invigorating! It reminds me of the beginning half on One Piece with the wonder and awe of exploring a huge wondrous world. And then the bonding! So good. It was fantastic to learn such deep and profound interactions with these pokemon. All the life lessons and startlingly intelligent and experienced view they have. I had a truly fantastic past few days experiencing the story and the world.

      It may be abandoned but I would never give up the experience! We get an outline of the end so it wasn't too bad. I have some gripes about some missing loose ends (so what happened to the mess in kanto witht team rocket and lance anyway? It was building up to something that leo had to get out of dodge) or events I don't like (spititomb left the team??? noooo whyyyy 😫😫😫 but maybe I'm missing some developments that would make it expected and empowering which I absolutely trust the author to do haha) but it's good enough that the author came back to give this to us hahahaha But ahhh, I will miss all the future character development leo and all his pokemon would have undergone though. And I would like to read about how he or his pokemon see the Ash that was fighting necromaza at that world. And all the worldbuilding and lore 🥲🥲🥲

    Summary

    Around the time most young children's do, Harry's hair goes from his father's dark locks to his mother's bright, most-likely-magical red hair. It changes everything about who Harry identifies with, who he wants to grow up to be, and who he thinks he is. Instead of having James Potter as his idol, Lily Potter turns out to be a much better influence.

    So instead of seeing a scruffy, most-likely-a-muggleborn boy standing beside him in Madam Malkin's before their first year, Draco only has eyes for the scarlet haired, green-eyed creature who just walked into his life and instead of an enemy, he finds a reason to be better than he'd been raised to be. Not that Harry will ever notice, given he's trying to simply survive at Hogwarts.

    And Severus might not make it to see these boys graduate when his heart kept giving out seeing his very-Slytherin godson repeat his own history and go chasing after a green-eyed, red-haired Gryffindor.

    Turns out the Malfoys aren't that bad and Dumbledore definitely is. Remus is at his wit's end and Sirius gets a chance to actually live up to his title as Harry's dogfather. Tom Riddle is not prepared for any of this.

      Burning Red
      by NoNameWriter

      Chapter 57

      Damn, this story is amazing. The character development, the various types of character conflict, the inner struggles and also, the many types of connections made and the different depths of them portrayed is just so good! Then you get into the magic system, the worldbuilding, the two different belief system and cultures between the muggle world and the wizarding world and then the pureblood and slytherin culture on top of that. And then you get he past history of all that and how it affects the newcomers now. Of which Harry is. I love all the plotting and scheming and the intricacies of Harry to get what he wants or to just protect himself. But we also get lots of intimate wholesome scenes of Harry with non plotting slytheriny people too like with Nevile and Professor. I love how he is such a social butterfly but it also comes from a place of abuse. He couldn't do all this before so he goes all out now that he can. And also, so he can be one of the smarter people in the room, to have some control. But also, because he really likes these people.

      Now for the story parts. I love his first year! All the extra bits of worldbuilding like Odd Solutions and the new alley. And I love his adventures of magical prep and shopping spree he did. That satisfied the hoarder in me lolol. I admit, tthe story got a bit down and depressing for a bit his second summer and first half of his second year. Harry was so anxious and scared and not dealing well. But, after having a meltdown with Nevile and being open with the Professor, it felt like he was regaining his bearings again. That was a relief. I didn't find reading that parts as fun as first year. And the whole scene with Nevile and the professor was so emotional and have so much connection! Nice hehe.

      Things I am looking forward to so. Much. The meeting with Remus! The plans with Sirius and how that is all going to affect everything with third year, Harry's name debt to the greengrass, what plots the malfoys are doing and if it will work together or get in the way, what exactly is Draco's plot lol, whatever the author is going to do about Snape's relationship with Harry's mom for the story and for Harry, and finally, I just reeeeeally want to know what is up with the Weasley twins. Not that I think they have some big goal/plotting happening but I reaaaally want to know them better!

      Lastly, I just want to comment that from the summary, I thought Severus would be one of the main frequently appearing character int he story but he isn't really. He'll probably be more later on as he's now just completely ignoring Harry, or not really. Harry is just treating him like air lolol. So from his pov, he treats Snape as a predictable bully, adapts accordingly on autopilot and move on to his goals and plotting. We have one chapter with Snape's pov being kinda puzzled that Harry isn't being a Griffindor and rarring to defend his housemates during class so Snape can properly bully him for talking back. But Harry is like every man for himself in a class where the priority for everyone is to survive lololol

      What is the masterpiece. Holy shit. All the twists or trope subversions lol. Dayum. Harry. Ron. Hermoine. Daaaayum. The first chapter felt kinda weird and alien like but get into the past the the story flowed more like a normal time travel story. Hen keep going and get your expectations dashed hahahaha. But huh. Embedded in the story is a surprisingly deep love story of the epic fate and destiny type although it's told to us in implications and secondhanded. Ie, Severus and Hermoine! Like wow, their story is so nghhh when you think on the implications lolol

      Doing the Work
      by MarbleGlove

      This story was breathtakingly beautiful. All the detailed worldbuilding I could have wanted. Even though it's relatively short but so full of oomph. I adore our mc's perspective. She's a civilian but civilians in a shinobi village also have deep lore and their own menuverings which has its own implicit and explicit cause and effect and different meanings. So deliciously good! Ahhhh and I love the romance! It was so them while being a romance! I really want more of this world. And the ending vision of Konoha with new types of missions is such a good idea! I wanted more detail there haha The last 2 chapters with Kakashi was unexpectedly touching. The cool and on guard kakashi, letting down his guard and the situation treats this with the care and bated breath it deserves. And then after they get together, you still get the on guard kakashi because that's how he is now. But we still see the quiet care and love and respect he has for our mc. How he tries the best he can. Ah, but still keeping to the fact that she is still a civilian and he is a squirelly ninja haha. There wasn't any one scene that dramatically touched me but the writing of all the characters is so beautiful.

    Summary

    At sixteen Wei Wuxian is—through some strange twist of fate, or a nick in the layer between parallel universes, who knows—out of the blue confronted with that one incense burner dream one night.

    While his curious mind is left unable to stop poking at this new perspective on Lan Wangji, circumstances in the Cloud Recesses begin to change and Wei Wuxian is suddenly presented with life-altering opportunities.

    Maybe Gusu isn’t so bad after all?

    (Or alternatively: The fic where I get to give Wei Wuxian the academic scholarship he deserves while simultaneously getting him hitched early on.)

    This fic has a Spanish and a Portuguese translation! Please visit the links in the Notes of Chapter 1 to read!

      Stunted, Starving Juvenility
      by TomatenMark

      Chapter 17

      I loved it! The writing is so much better than many in this fandom. I felt instantly connected to Wei Ying. I also really believed in the affection Wei Ying and Lan Zhan obviously have for each other. Normally in others it felt way too instant, self indulgent, unbelievable or just to weird. Normally the fic took itself way too seriously when the situation wasn't really. Or Wei Ying is portrayed too helplessly woe is me depressed. I love all the characters here, everyone is very believable. Now for Wei Ying's inventions and talisman theorying. Well, I love that it is such an import Part of the whole fic most definitely. I adore new ideas and creative inventions that the characters have. It adds so much to the atmosphere and worldbuilding of the fic and makes things more immersive. The explanations and how Wei Yong gets to the final result is a bit awkward admittedly. A bit suspension of disbelieve is needed because he just throws all this jargon suddenly that feels a bit like its there just to be there. We don't get any explanation on what they actually mean or do so I feel like its not important and can be ignored. But I love the inventions very very much! I also love how Wei Yong is getting all the love he deserves without me gagging over how overly sweet it is. This fic made it feel very genuine. I also love the time period this takes place in! You can explore more of the culture this way instead of just travelling in most other fics XD I also love how the romance isn't the be all end all, there is still life to be led and just makes things feel fuller and richer for it. Can't wait for more.

    Sephiroth was Hojo's son. But he was also Lucrecia's. And that was why, given a chance, Vincent would try to save him. That was why, given a chance, he would go back and try to help keep him on a better path.

    Because when you loved someone, and they were gone, you made sure their kids were okay. And he should have realized that the first time around.

    Summary

    Harry just wants to have a quiet life and get along with everyone. He wants to be normal, and accepted. Being “normal” for the Dursleys yielded great results in improving his standard of living, and as he heads off to Hogwarts he still retains that impulse to keep his head down and blend in. Of course, life isn’t as simple as that, and Harry is a magnet for trouble. And what does "normal" really mean, anyway? The pure-bloods in his group of friends think he should learn more about their culture and religion if he wants to fit in.

      Perfectly Normal
      by BrilliantLady

      Nice! Wow, there were some very good scenes here, a couple of my favourites were the emotional ones where harry kinda broke down against dumbledore in his office after viewing tom's first encounter with the wizarding world. Very cathartic. There was also the conversation after the golden trio implosion where they just listened to harry instead of talking at him, that was nice. And the whole Triwazard tournament was sooo good! Everything was quite modified, well thought out and refreshingly new! All the changes the characters are from canon is explained so freaking well I love it. And all the glorious worldbuilding details is very very nice. Its all part of the world and the story and while some of the worldbuilding like the things from books or religion explanation were kinda dry, many others were not 😆 I do love the growth of Harry and his relations and outlook on the world has grown from this super one track mind of being as muggle and normal as possible has grown to this new older person he is now. Very nice! When he was younger his way of thinking was so young and logical to the abuse compared to canon. And then now, years later, how much he has grown even though much of the abuse still lingers in everything he does XD I surprisingly like dudley now haha

    Summary

    The Triwizard Tournament has come to Hogwarts (much to the disgust of Quidditch players), but Harry agrees with Draco that only an idiot would want to get mixed up in something that dangerous. With not one but two Lord Voldemorts out there wreaking havoc – one of whom keeps trying to befriend Harry – he has enough trouble on his plate already.

      For Each Ecstatic Instant
      by ariaadagio

      I love what Lucifer created of his life at the end. The imagery is so beautiful. He created a Hell setting and system that is beautiful and written in such contrast to what it was to him before that I actually teared up. Ahhhh my heart. This sweet darling boy. And then because of how he made it, people from heaven can just pop over to help which, is so Right?? These people ate some of the types of humans that are driven and had a purpose when they were alive, its so nice that they can continue that in the afterlife too. And this means Chloe can just stay there and all her family that died can come visit T.T No one has to be alone anymore T.T

      Anyway, the writing is very good. Immersive and really gripes with heavy topics like consent and worthiness for love. The consequences of such actions are explored. It felt like the author really grew.
      I really only put it into my collection is that scenery of what Lucifer created at the end ahhh so beautiful
