Summary
It starts like this. Clark Kent has a hopeless crush on a woman who's out of his league. Bruce Wayne has a newly-acquired kid he feels ill-equipped to raise. Superman is still finding his feet. And Batman has an unshakeable suspicion that Superman surely can't be all that he seems.
Things can only get more complicated from there.

It was—should have been fine. The issue was that it was Clark, and Bruce had enough trouble remaining rational about him at the best of times.”

Bruce and Clark go from friends to lovers the long, long, long way round. Featuring a number of revelations, a well-meaning but nosy son (Dick) and, most prominently, two adult men being completely and utterly useless.

Summary
Yusuke Kitagawa has a famous reputation for being an artist -- except he's broke. He never intended to become popular. Refusing to sell his art pieces, he suffers from a very common thing: a lack of pocket change. When a request for him to become the royal court painter with a huge sack of money comes, he has no choice but to accept.
There is only one living person in the royal blood after the previous King and Queen are assassinated -- the King himself, Akira Kurusu. Young, he is often underestimated. However, he grows in popularity as word of his leadership becomes infectious, spreading to foreign lands. Rumor has it his parents had prepared him painstakingly for this day, and has shaped him into a remarkable heir-turned-king.
The only thing is, Akira is often riddled with work and stress, not to mention aggressive neighboring kingdoms who, inevitably, want to take his kingdom for themselves. As fate would have it, though, he's grown an interest to the eccentric artist.
EDIT: Short hiatus... I'm alive...!!

This is a fascinating work I wish I could read more of, alas, the author seems to have forgotten it or moved on to other matters. It saddens me, to not see the conclusion of this work, truly.

Summary
Yusuke Kitagawa is out of ideas, nearly out of food, and most certainly out of patience. All he can see ahead of him is endless days of trying to keep up with Sensei’s demands while keeping himself just barely together.
If you told him he’d soon have an impossibly dashing/adorkable boyfriend, an eccentric shut-in hacker for a best friend, and a second home in the form of a welcoming coffee shop, he definitely would not believe you.
This is the story of a weird art kid who couldn’t save himself (but could save the world).

I love this fanfic's rework of Yusuke's arc with Madarame and social link, it's what the game didn't deliver. It's also very good for everyone to have more Yusuke in their life, so this fic providing that is such a balm to the weary soul. I find the fact that it has not been finished, or even updated in years very tragic, I wished to read more.

Summary
After a fight in Mementos once, Morgana had asked Akira if he'd always been this angry. It wasn't an insult; if anything, he heard admiration in their voice. He told them no. It was the truth. Growing up, he hadn't had any reason to be angry. His home life was fine, his grades were fine, he was social. He'd never caused trouble, never had an outburst. When they came for him, it didn't matter. His day in court was the first time he ever clenched his fists so hard that his palms started to bleed where his nails made contact, and all he can remember thinking was that he didn't realize that could happen in real life.

Summary
Finding a way across South America would have been treacherous enough without a world-class sniper on the tail of Senku and crew, but who would have thought the greater source of tension was already festering among the group? Gen returned from infiltrating Xeno’s stronghold only to learn that Senku has a brand-new girlfriend and while he wants to be supportive, he also feels a little cheated after putting years and years into softening that scientific exterior. Under such stressful conditions, can Gen keep up the act of a supportive wise general? Or will he give in to petty jealousy? And just what does having a girlfriend mean to Senku, anyway?

A really great fic on jealousy, trying to move one and miscommunication. Also, there's no hate towards Luna from Gen, Senku or any of the other characters. That's great, since it's not her fault at all she got caught up in that mess and fell for Senku.

I really like fake dating AUs and this one is especially astounding, and as always sengen gives me soulmate vibes from the get-go. The dynamic between them is really reminiscent of the canonical one, which fuels my love for this fic.

this fic is so amazing. It describes artwork in a very detailed way that makes me picture it in my mind's eye, but makes me wonder, at the same time, how much it differs from the author's idea and makes me want to see their version. the way it connects the two people shipped in such an endearing and unique way won me over as well. honestly, i'ts just all around great.

Summary
“I don´t know your history, your scars, your religion or even your race. What I know is that you’re kind, resourceful, friendly and welcoming. You drop everything to help a person you never met before, you don´t charge people who can´t afford it. My guess is you are so righteous, that you want to save the people set in stone. How am I?”
“Quiet far away, diplomat. Or should I say mentalist? It suits you better. I´m neither friendly nor righteous. I just want to right a wrong that has happened.” After a short pause he added “And revive some petrified people.”
Gen grinned. “You can call me what you want. It´s my job to help people, loosely speaking.” Gen rotated his hand and indicates to the copies on the table. “That includes helping the petrified people all over the galaxy.”

Summary
The oasis life dangles in front of him is far more tempting than anything this stone world has yet to offer him, more tempting than death, and although Gen isn't certain if it's mirage or miracle, he's too curious to turn down the opportunity. Too selfish not to want to claim it for himself alone. That oasis is none other than Senku Ishigami.

Letters from his deceased cousin caused Draco to realize that he had choices, starting with the choice to be someone else, to be who he wanted to be.
The road to self-discovery was difficult and navigating that path in the shadow of Harry Potter was its own challenge but maybe, just maybe, his friends would help him along the way.
