“You make my life difficult,” Geto continued simply, “so I’m here to kill you.”
“So do it,” Gojo murmured. Blood dripped into his mouth, stained his teeth.

Summary
Kat successfully summons her demons, and they serve her faithfully. She attends school, begrudgingly. She dabbles in delinquency. And when the dormitories are stifling, she comes to the graveyard, and she treats her mausoleum like her own private little club house—or a throne room, where she holds court with her infernal retinue.
Tonight, she has sent her demons on a small errand which has waylaid them unduly. Wendell is the first to return—uncharacteristically without his brother.
His Hellmaiden does not let the discrepancy go unremarked upon.

When will my reflection show (Who I am inside?) by Delusional_fantasising
Fandoms: Ironheart (Marvel TV), Marvel Cinematic Universe

Summary
Disclaimer: This is a small side project so it will have really inconsistent updates and Alejandro (my oc) his trans experience reflects mine. I am really proud to be able to call his creator. I have a roleplay acc for him on Tumblr if that shows my dedication for him. And to anyone who reads my other fics, I am experimenting with my writing style with this fic.
------
It's hard growing up in a body that came out wrong, suffering the consequences both external and internal.
Alejandro spent almost his whole childhood being called a name he doesn't want to go by, he doesn't want to be trans. Yet he was born in a girl's body. Being in love with his closest friend, he is scared to lose Parker due to the fact that he is trans and he doesn't know if Parker would want someone like him. Flaws and cracks in an image that was never perfect to begin with.

UPDATED AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK
"You dare call yourself a Midoriya?"
Izuku didn't snap because he was weak. He snapped because he saw a health bar float above his abusive father's head-and realized he could make it hit zero.
Afterwards he was taken in by All For One for having a terrifying "System" that allows him to traverse dungeons and summon the dead, Izuku is no longer chasing a dream of being a Hero. He is grinding levels.
From rotting cities to the sun-scorched wastelands, Izuku builds his party: They are the Black Cross.
[A Villain/Gamer Deku fic featuring heavy world-building, dungeon crawling, and a chess-themed organization.]

Summary
ᡣ𐭩 • ｡ Oikawa Tooru learns early how to count things.
Points. Rotations. Sets. The exact number of times Karasuno stands in his way.
What he never learns how to count is everything that doesn’t make it onto the scoreboard—what it costs to be good but not good enough, what it means to peak too early, and what happens when the future everyone promised you quietly closes its doors.
Years after his final loss, Oikawa carries Seijoh like a phantom limb. Iwaizumi is still there, steady as ever, close enough to ground him and far enough to hurt. Whether that closeness is love or loyalty has never mattered. It still aches the same.
Some losses don’t echo.
They just stay. ꪆৎ ˚⋅

Reorient, Recentre by Lilac_The_Book_Lover
Fandoms: Original Work, Huxleypocalypse (2024)
01 Feb 2026

Summary
It’s experimental, the first time. He wants to– needs to– know what it’s like. He’s tried piano, and talking, and thinking, and family. Nothing seems to reawaken the corpse inside of his body, and Hugo desperately, desperately misses feeling as though he is alive.
(It was not permanent. There has been no change, not really, not beyond the physical inconveniences. He was gone and now he’s back– as though it was just a business trip. He’s still himself. That’s what he tells himself. It sticks like water to glass.)
OR: It's difficult to exist in a body that once was a corpse. Hugo finds ways to cope.

Summary
France vs Japan in the U20 World Cup
It was their first encounter, neither of them having exchanged so much as a word before. And yet Hugo understood Isagi perfectly, knew that he was one of those unnatural people fighting against destiny, struggling in vain when there was nothing they could change.
Hugo found it sad because he saw the potential Isagi had, the potential to rise to number two just like him. They shared the same sharp brain capable of dissecting the pitch with precise cuts, to understand it as no one else could. All Isagi had to do to achieve greatness was to stop struggling and swim with the stream, not against it.
Or
“Say, do you believe in destiny?”

“You think that means he deserved to die?”
“Sometimes people do.”
“Not like that,” Mia says.
Phoenix Wright stares at her, dark and fragile and hauntingly dry. She thinks his eyes are kind. “Isn’t that what we’re for?”
Or, everyone has heard of the daemonless prosecutor. Very few know the man beneath the title.
Phoenix Wright does not mean for these people to love him.
They do it anyway.
(Featuring karma, the right of judge, jury and executioner, families of choice, freedom, and, of course, fire.)

Summary
The tension does not fade as the three of them work. Lara, with her spine ramrod straight, holding tightly onto her anger. Artemy, with his pale, exhausted expression - Rubin sometimes catches him with his head in his hands, and once or twice he lets out a shaky breath thick with emotion. Stakh does him the courtesy of pretending not to notice - his own hands are shaking too badly to be useful.
They all feel the heavy absence of the fourth of their group.
--
Three weeks after the epidemic, they try to pick up the pieces. -
