Summary
"The gods fashioned you for glory. And then, the gods fashioned me for you.”
After a lifetime of war, crisis, betrayals, and losses, Alexander of Macedon kneels in the Temple of Siwa. He retells stories of a childhood spent with a scheming mother, a youth spent with friends now dead or traitorous, and an adulthood spent with the profound love of his fellow general, Hephaestion.
Devastated from a recent loss, he asks only one thing of the temple's oracle: permission to create a god.

Summary
Falkreath hold was supposed to be where Zyklos disappeared for good: a nameless hunter and Maormer exile at the edge of a graveyard town, answerable to no one. Saving Valion Oronar – ex-Justiciar, yet still painfully Thalmor – ruins that plan.
As the world burns and an ancient Word brands itself into Zyklos's bones, he and Valion are forced to confront the things that made them: empires, faiths, and powers far older than either, and two men who have nowhere left to belong have to decide whether they can build a home in each other instead.
(An alternate eldritch telling of The Last Dragonborn's story)

Summary
The time comes for Hiccup to finally prove himself in front of all of Berk, and he knows he can't do it. He won't do it. Convinced there is no way he could ever change people's minds about dragons, he runs away from home into the great wide world.
Meanwhile, life on Berk carries on much the same. How much of a difference could one scrawny little boy have made anyway? Five years after the chief's son's disappearance, how much of a difference can Astrid Hofferson make in the war against the dragons?
This is the story of Hiccup, and how he became the elusive Dragon Master. It is also the story of Astrid, Snotlout, and everyone else, if a certain very strange enchanted boy had departed from their lives too early.
or
Alternating chapters between Astrid five years later as she tries to find the rumoured Dragon Master; and different people's accounts of a very strange boy who shows up out of nowhere, disappears without a trace, and calls himself Hamish.

Summary
人生摆脱不了苦难与折磨，正如天上的星辰落地也必然会沾染尘世的烟火。可这一刻的喜悦是真的，这一刻的爱也是真的，他们在长风中将理智抛尽，共同跌落于通往未知命运的孤独漩涡。
Notes：原作向，从高三讲到成年后，有大量两人家庭背景捏造、超出原作范畴的性格与成长历程重构。这是关于失败者与流亡者的故事，这也是关于爱的故事。

Summary
Dick Grayson has a secret.
For years, Deathstroke has been trying to recruit him as his apprentice. For years, Dick has said no. But after one mission too many, one life-or-death decision too many, one weight-of-the-world moment too many...
Dick finally says yes.
-----
Zatanna Zatara understands.
She's been carrying her own weight since her father became Doctor Fate's host. When Dick leaves the Team to train with Deathstroke, she makes her own choice...
To grow powerful enough that she'll never feel helpless again.
-----
The cost?
Exile from the Team, judgment from the League, and two years of operating in the gray areas that heroes pretend don't exist.
The reward?
Freedom, power, and fighting alongside each other every step of the way.
-----
Featuring: Slade as a surprisingly decent mentor, Constantine as his usual terrible influence self, Giovanni getting monthly weekends off from being Doctor Fate, Bruce trying to be less emotionally constipated, and the Bat Family and the Team slowly realizing that maybe Dick and Zee don't need saving after all.
-----
(The fic where Dick and Zee go rogue that no-one asked for!)

~Hailstorm the Story of Icewing Prince~ by Tradicion
Fandoms: Wings of Fire - Tui T. Sutherland
15 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
~Hailstorm, the Icewing prince, feels out of place in his own scales. Freed from being a Pyrite, he should fit in, but he doesn’t —he’s unsure of who he is, what he wants, or who he’s attracted to. Memories of his past —time as a Pyrite, abuse, and family troubles —haunt him, and he struggles with body dysphoria, mental stress, and guilty thoughts he can’t share. Even surrounded by the royal court and Icewing traditions, he feels alone, confused, and drawn to feelings he doesn’t fully understand.~
~As he moves through the palace and interacts with soldiers and his family, Hailstorm wrestles with loyalty, justice, and moral dilemmas. He notices boys in ways that surprise him, thinks about romance and intimacy, and quietly questions everything he thought he knew about himself. The world around him —military rules, royal expectations, Skywings —is rigid and harsh, while inside he battles trauma, self-doubt, and forbidden desires.~
~The story explores identity, orientation, trauma, mental health, and forbidden feelings, mixing royal politics, friendship, love, and self-discovery. Hailstorm is trying to figure out who he is while carrying the weight of the past and the pressures of being a prince.~
