    Summary

    Two lonely people. Two lost childhoods. Different paths. Different scars. Who managed to find each other in spite of it all.

    Developing the slow-burn romance between Robert and Courtney immediately after the events of Episode 8 of Dispatch.

    What to expect:
    - Cute moments between our two favorite loners following an overarching story.
    - Z-Team shenanigans and found family moments.
    - Expansion on Courtney and Robert's backstories, compliant with established canon.
    - Inclusion of Courtney's internal thoughts when needed.
    - Mild angst.
    - Some other unique ideas I can't list here or else it would spoil the story.

    Any Explicit chapters will have a clear warning.

    All rights to Dispatch are owned by AdHoc Studios. This is just my fun take on the future of their story, yadda yadda yadda, legal stuff.

    Summary

    "We're sparring, Fujiwara," he declared, as if the decision had already been made and refusing wasn't an option.

    "Got you.~" she sang sweetly, a teasing smirk on her lips, mischievous eyes looking down as she pinned him to the ground in mere seconds.

    They met on a beautiful spring day, in a scene straight out of a romantic novel.

    He was strong. So was she.
    Perfectionists? Both of them.

    She hid her pain behind a beautiful smile, he knew it.
    He hid his insecurities behind explosive outbursts, she sensed it.

    In every way, they belonged together. In every way, everyone could see it.

    Summary

    At first, he’d assumed the visions were dreams. Absurd ones, at that. A nobody like him feared across the entire continent?
    Impossible.

    The power he could imagine. The rest… Sukuna’s pride refused to accept. What a young fool he’d been back then.

    He really should have known better. From the beginning, life had never offered Sukuna much mercy, so why would the future be any different? Still, knowing the future gave him an advantage. One he intended to use.

    Unfortunately, fate had other ideas.

    When Yuuji swallowed Sukuna’s finger in 2018, all of Sukuna’s plans immediately fell apart. Rather than creating a host with a separate mind and soul, the fifteen-year-old boy merged with Sukuna outright. There was no vessel. No separation. Just one shared existence.

    A situation that left Sukuna in a rather precarious position… particularly given his knowledge of what was to come.

    On the other hand, the merger brought an unexpected benefit. Somewhere in the process, Sukuna regained his humanity.

    Summary

    Smallville is familiar, yet nothing is as it seems. In this retelling, old faces, new mysteries, and hidden powers reshape the town—and Clark must navigate a world that diverges from the story everyone thinks they know. Secrets from the past, impossible choices, and unexpected alliances challenge everything he thought about friendship, loyalty, and his own destiny.

    Summary

    Bible thought he knew exactly who Jes was.
    He didn’t.

    What started as tension and curiosity one reckless summer in Bangkok slowly turned into something neither of them understood, let alone knew how to control.

    Five years later, they meet again.

    Some habits never really go away.

    Summary

    Years of proving he was more than the tainted blood that ran in his veins. Yet all it took was one mistake to ruin everything.

    When a concept is built on utter perfection, destroying it takes a single scratch. Such is the case for Figarland Shamrock. At the first sign of failure, he was destined to fall. He was, after all, only worth as much to his superiors, as his mother had been to his father.

    Thus is the descent from a god, to a slave at the mercy of a once trusted colleague.

    Summary

    James Buchanan Barnes, not a brainwashed assassin but a feared prince of the North, as ruthless as the harshest blizzards, reigns revenge on the Sokovian Kingdom along with his adopted brother, Steve Rogers. By his side are his most trusted friends and guards, Brock Rumlow and Natasha Romanoff. As his enemies crumble under his feet, he takes pleasure in a new source of amusement – the daughter of the man who abducted and murdered his mother twenty years ago.

    This is a complete AU, not following canon. It is inspired by the Game of Thrones series and books, so be prepared for some sexual content (the non-consensual kind), cruelties, violence, strong language, and disturbing scenes. More regular chapters starting February.

    First-person (Bucky) pov.

    This is a fan fiction story, and I do not own any of the characters apart from the OC (the princess). I wrote this for my own fun. I do not seek any profit from it or any art commissions, so don't waste your time offering.

    Summary

    PODFIC VERSION

    [Fanfiction of The Rigel Black Chronicles] Everyone knows the story of Harriett Potter, centre of the Rigel Black controversy and one of the most gifted potioneers Wizarding Britain has ever seen. But it takes two to stage a ruse destined to set the world on fire, and Arcturus Rigel Black charts his own path to revolution.

    author's Notes from Kitsunerei88:
    Hello, readers! As it says on the box, this is a fanfiction of The Pureblood Pretense by murkybluematter, so it won't make much sense if you haven't read that one. For returning readers, no, sorry, this doesn't pick up right after Liar Liar, for reasons explained at the bottom. New readers, you don't need to have read any of my previous works to understand this one - but eventually, you'll probably get more out of this fic if you have. I hope you'll take a chance on it, and just go along with Archie for the ride!

    Summary

    Izuku is going through a pretty rough time.
    Let's just say, the love of his life isn't fond of him, and he doesn't know how to handle it.
    Worse; the love of his life is slowly getting better around him, and he doesn't know how to handle THAT.
    Why can't Kacchan just say how he really feels?

    Summary

    Acheron: The river of grief, pain, and sorrow, in Greek Mythology.

     

    "Jason? Where are you? Son!” came Bruce’s muffled, frantic voice.

    Burce had come for him. He always did. He’s glad, he thinks. Glad that he got the chance to stay alive long enough to hear his father’s voice one last time. He felt the dark creeping in, and this time, instead of fighting it, he let it take over. The last thought he has is of his father. Bruce.

    Always his father.

     

    Jason Todd crawled out of the pit…different. Hollow. Broken. And betrayed. With anger flowing through his veins, he sets out with every intention of wreaking his particular brand of havoc and ignoring the family that he refused to acknowledge as such. That was the plan and nothing would distract him from his goal. That is, until he actually faces Batman, and has to come to terms with his Issues™, and how badly he aches for his family.

    Or

    The one in which Jason Todd (and literally everyone else) realises he Has Issues - only he’s too stubborn to do anything about it. Luckily enough for him, the Wayne family invented the term stubborn. So really, does he have a choice?

    Summary

    “Shut up.” His voice was different this time—stripped of its usual cockiness, replaced by something colder, something dangerous. Oh.

    She saw it then—the flicker of something raw in his eyes, quickly buried. A weak spot. A wound still fresh beneath the layers of arrogance and indifference. And she struck again.

    “Did I hit a nerve?” she mocked him. “You’re a joke, Nott.” She let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “You act like you’re all cool and breezy, but it's all a lie.”

    “You don’t know what–”

    “I do, actually. I’m a very good observant and let me tell you,” She pressed her finger into his chest again, each word deliberate. “Of all the people I've observed I have never encountered someone as shallow,” Another jab. His chest rose and fell, his breathing heavier than before.
    “Empty,” Again.

    “And pathetic as—” The words caught in her throat and Theodore’s lips were on hers.

     

    Ophelia Selwyn wondered if it was too late to choose a life as a fugitive. Her previous concerns about where she would go or how she would survive all on her own were looking more and more unimportant and attainable. Anything would be better than being betrothed to Theodore Nott.

    At Seonam High, Lee Woo Shin was the "Happy Virus," a mascot existing solely in Park Kang Jun’s orbit. He filled his water, memorized his stats, and poured his heart into a secret notebook. Woo Shin was his best friend and his shadow—everything to him, except one thing.

    "If you were a girl, I’d probably marry you."

    A promise meant to be a joke, but for Woo Shin, it was a curse. It was a haunting reminder. He wasn’t a girl. He cannot marry him. But damn, he hoped. He pined. He bled.

    Summary

    "The energy emanating from her was chaotic but not malicious; it was an echo of pain, exhaustion, and a loneliness so deep it broke Lux's heart. In an instinctive gesture, Lux reached out and took the girl's hand."

    Having survived the explosion at the Hex Tower and fled the smoldering wreckage of her life, Jinx hurtles toward the unforgiving, cold lands of Demacia. Wounded and haunted by the ghosts of her past, her path collides in a dark alley with that of Luxanna Crownguard, a noblewoman trapped by the weight of duty and forced to conceal a light that her own kingdom punishes with death.

    As the anarchic chaos of Zaun and the forbidden magic of Demacia intertwine within the walls of a secret library, a dangerous facade is born: Lady Jishanna Aldergate. But with the Magic Seekers on the prowl and the suspicion of Commander Garen, leader of the Dauntless Vanguard, looming over them, their newfound bond could be the sanctuary that saves them—or the spark that ignites everything.

    Summary

    La energía que emanaba de ella era caótica pero no maligna, era un eco de dolor, de agotamiento y de una soledad tan profunda que le rompió el corazón. En un gesto instintivo, Lux extendió su mano y tomó la de aquella chica.

    Tras sobrevivir a la explosión en la Torre Hex y huir de los restos humeantes de su vida, Jinx se precipita hacia las implacables y frías tierras de Demacia. Herida y atormentada por los fantasmas de su pasado, su camino se cruza en un oscuro callejón con el de Luxanna Crownguard, una noble atrapada por el peso del deber y obligada a ocultar una luz que su propio reino castiga con la muerte.

    Mientras el caos anárquico de Zaun y la magia prohibida de Demacia se entrelazan entre los muros de una biblioteca secreta, nace una peligrosa fachada: Lady Jishanna Aldergate. Pero con los Cazadores de Magos al acecho y la sospecha del Comandante Garen, líder de la Vanguardia Valerosa, sobre ellos, su nuevo vínculo podría ser el santuario que las salve, o la chispa que lo encienda todo.

    This work is divided into two parts: the first explores trauma and PTSD, focusing on the emotional aftermath of survival, while the second shifts into a fast-paced, action-driven thriller in the spirit of Resident Evil, where danger becomes immediate and relentless.

    Summary

    Rowan Smith has spent her whole life learning how to stay small.

    But when a letter arrives and magic finally has a name, everything changes.

    At Hogwarts, Rowan finds something she’s never had before—friendship, belonging, and a place that feels like it might choose her back. But magic isn’t just wonder. It’s danger, secrets, and choices that don’t wait for permission.

    As whispers of something hidden beneath the castle begin to surface, Rowan finds herself drawn into a mystery far bigger than she understands—one that will demand courage, trust, and the willingness to act when it matters most.

    Because sometimes, noticing is the first step.

    And sometimes, it’s the thing that changes everything.
