    Summary

    Five-year-old Newt blinks at his reflection in the mirror, tracing the backwards letters over his heart with the tip of his right index finger. H-E-R-M-A-N-N.

    A strong German name, his father says with approval. Newt doesn’t fully understand until later what the mark means.

    Summary

    Lila Morgan's story was supposed to end when she jumped from that bridge. Instead, she wakes up in Navarre on Conscription Day — trapped inside the world of Basgiath War College, a world she knows all too well. Armed with knowledge of every twist, betrayal, and death to come, she takes on a new name: Liora Emberveil.
    But knowing the future doesn’t mean controlling it. Every choice she makes shifts the story she thought was set in stone. Some changes are small. Others are dangerous. And one misstep is all it takes to catch the attention of Xaden Riorson.

    “You’re not like the others, Emberveil,” Xaden tells her, his voice sharp as shadows coil at his back. “People like you burn too hot or break too soon. So which one are you?”

    With her past clawing at her and the future slipping out of her hands, Liora faces a choice: survive the story as it was written or burn it down entirely. But if a dragon choose her, will she choose herself?

    Izuku entertained the idea of pointing out that Katsuki could get his phone taken away if he got caught with it out for about half a second, but they both knew that wasn’t a risk for Aldera’s Golden Student. Plus he understood Katsuki’s concern- this might’ve been the safest option, but time was the only thing that could tell if it was actually safe.

    Summary

    Yoongi is a lonely man, desperate for some excitement to spice up his busy and mundane existence and a partner to spend the rest of his life with. But he had never imagined that his entire world would be turned upside down in the span of one terrifying night.

    Jimin is a monster, some eldritch horror that seems to have crawled straight out of hell itself. He has a hunger that no amount of human food can ever seem to sate, and murderous impulses course through his veins. But that is not the only thing he is hiding beneath the surface of his skin…

    Things are about to get freaky.

    Summary

    Andrew Doe learned from a young age that not everyone could hear what he heard. Not everyone felt the fire like he did. Not everyone cared enough to believe him. He also learned that no one was as nice as they first seemed, and that he could sometimes trust the voices that whispered softly in his ear.

    Andrew Doe learned something else in those years with nothing to call his own, but that’s a secret kept between him and the fire.

    ***

    Or: a magical realism AU with lots of pining where Andrew can talk to fire and uses an incredible amount of fire metaphors.

    Jisung surveys his work before gazing through the window, eyelids weighting like boulders, so tired he almost misses the rise of a figure from the edge of the swamp.

    There's a man outside.

    Summary

    It all happens because Nat drops acid at the bonfire party and everything goes sideways from there.

    Or it all happens because Lottie can’t muster the guts to talk to the girl she likes, at least not in a normal way. Or it all happens because teenage hormones and alcohol and shitty drugs don’t mix well with things like alarms and punctuality.

    No, it definitely all happens because Nat drops acid at the bonfire party.

    or: nat and lottie miss the plane to nationals, but it still goes down; a spur-of-the-moment road trip to rescue their doomed friends from the canadian wilderness ensues.

    Summary

    Yoongi doesn’t know what he was expecting, exactly, when Taehyung called the day before asking about the pool in his mini-greenhouse, but it certainly wasn’t this.

    This being opening his door to find Taehyung and Jungkook on his porch, the former with his fist raised mid-knock even though the doorbell is right fucking there, the latter standing a few steps behind him and smiling rather sheepishly while bridal-carrying a mermaid.

    A goddamn mermaid.

    It is too early for this, Yoongi decides.
