The Diary of Katherine Shepard by Hawkster94
Fandoms: Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect - All Media Types
03 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
4 years and a half had passed since the galaxy emerged victorious against the Reapers. Recovery process is still ongoing, with the trauma of the war still lingering on, physical, mental, and emotional.
Inspired by the unfinished diaries that her former mentor, Admiral David Anderson, left in his former Citadel Apartment prior to his demise, now retired Commander Katherine Shepard decides to do her own diary detailing her early life, her career, the defining three years of her life, and what has she been up to since the end of the Reaper War.
Although it might be for the fun of it or just out of boredom, Shepard is writing her diary to help find her own closure.
NOTICE: This fic is based on the ending headcanon from AHEM (Audemus Happy Ending Mod), so no Catalyst, no Mass Relays damaged/destroyed, and no Geth/EDI being destroyed either. Additionally, it's based on CEM (Citadel Epilogue Mod), so expect the events of Citadel DLC to play out a few years after the Reaper War.
I should also mention that EGM and LE1/LE3 DP mods factor into this story.

Summary
It has been 10 years since the end of The Hundred Year War, ten years since Aang left her. Katara now the leader of Republic City, finds herself in an unlikely pair with a melancholy Fire Lord.
Excerpt:
"Zuko stop!" she begged.
He did not, he continued to nudge and press for an answer.
Katara began to feel like the floor was slipping from under her. The room was no longer still and she was growing increasingly dizzy. She grabbed on to a column to steady herself. Zuko rushed to her side, bracing her against his warm body. Their eyes met briefly and Zuko found the answer he had been searching for.
(Both Zuko and Katara POV)

Summary
The Universe is kind.
To respawn in every short dream, players are woven anew. Every individual wound is stitched closed in the interim before waking and every blemish is buffed into perfect health. The players body is a unique craft of self, always exactly as they wish it, always restored in full.
So why then, after losing its form in years past, does Feinberg’s skin subbornly remain composite alloys? Why are these stupid scars part of his immutable self?
Returning to the overworld should have swept everything away. Instead, he finds himself drawn back to an aching old wound buried under the muck and sediment of a spring bed.
The downpour outside hasn’t been so heavy in months.

The Lost Feather (a Hawks x reader/OC fanfic) by tzatziki2008
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
02 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
What could possibly go wrong when you decide to follow a semi-burnt feather you found in the middle of the night? Well, ...everything.
After moving to Japan with your boyfriend and an unpleasant series of events that nearly killed you, you witness the number two hero meeting up with a villain. You decide to start investigating Hawks and, in the process, you will start developing feelings for him. In the meantime, a lot of secrets will get revealed that will turn your life upside-down. Let's just say that nothing is like it seems...
An original side story to the canon which promises a wildly emotional and visual ride with lots of engaging and well-written original characters, all while blending into the canon through the relationship and struggles Hawks and the reader have.
New chapter every Saturday, so stay tuned!
Clarification: this is not self-shipping/self-insert
The main character is kind of an original character of mine but, since she doesn't have any assigned characteristics, it can be read as a x reader.
Shout-out to Horikoshi-sensei, the creator of the mha universe and its characters.
I started posting it on wattpad and decided to expand here as well. (13/8/25)

Summary
The wasteland changes people, turns you into something you never thought you'd be. Sometimes it seems unavoidable, unfixable, but maybe the right person just needs to come and take your hand.
OR
I don't trust Bethesda or Prime to handle Lucy and Cooper the way I want their story to go, so this is what I'd do with them if I was showrunner, aka my season 3.

Summary
“There was this dream,” He said, “There were babies, many of them. It usually starts like this.” He confessed, “But this one was different.” “How, Your Holiness?” Tommaso asked. Brows furrowed as blue eyes darted to the side and then back at the man. “There was a sole baby in the middle of the square, swathed in sheer cloth and it cried.” Balancing the cigarette between his teeth, he searched for his lighter. “And then a woman appeared with a blue mantilla.” “La Madonna?” Tomasso asked. “No, la mia donna,” he turned to look at Tommaso. “But it always comes back to the mother, doesn’t it?” He huffed in amusement.

Summary
Season One picks up in the fallout of Deborah Vance’s explosive exit from late‑night. After Bob Lipka corners her with an ultimatum “Ava is out or the show is over.” Deborah refuses to bend. Instead, she detonates the truth live on air. “I am being forced to fire someone I love who has done nothing wrong. Just to make shareholders happy. Where is the line?” A line she never believed in until Ava. Deborah walks away from the show and disappears back into the quiet of Las Vegas. Ava stays behind in L.A. honoring the distance Deborah claims she needs until a simple vacation in Hawaii pulls her back into Deborah’s orbit. What should have been a getaway becomes a new residency in Singapore, and paradise quickly reveals it’s cracks. Ava watches the woman she loves unravel. Deborah drifts through each day in a haze of alcohol and denial, running from a truth she’s terrified to face while making decisions rooted in fear instead of the fire that once defined her. Ava is left trying to hold together a woman who has spent her entire life pretending she doesn’t need anyone.
