Izuku must learn his place in a broken and cruel world. He must learn the cost of being a hero. He must learn the cost of changing the world to his own image. In a world divided by factions vying for control, oppressive governments, and sympathetic villains, Izuku must decide his place amongst the chess pieces. He'll have to decide what to make of the broken dreams and shattered faith of an indifferent world. He'll need the power to rise above the mire and muck of despair. Thankfully, he was never quirkless. Sometimes quirks hide until they are triggered. Izuku tasted death and found it lacking, every flavour bitter and lacking spice. In the moments between death and life, he gazed into the howling abyss and it followed him home. Everything he thought he knew about the world is a lie. There are monsters lurking in the dark below, always waiting and always watching. They wait patiently, waiting for one to sit upon a throne of crystal madness and eternal suffering. They have waited for aeons and will wait until the end of eternity. They wait for Izuku Midoriya. Now with a TV Tropes page

Decades have passed since the end of the war but life has not been kind to Harry. He had dreamt of more but every chance at happiness he’d ever had was ripped away from him. He longed to join his loved ones in the next life but even that was out of reach for him. In a last attempt at dying, Harry bleeds out on the cold marble floor, praying to the gods to take him. Instead, he wakes up in his 14-year-old body. With a manipulative old goat, a new improved Dark Lord, and a mission from Death, will this new life be worth living? Harry isn’t sure but he certainly doesn’t want life to be easy for the ones who wronged him. Revenge has never tasted sweeter than when they don’t know it’s coming. On hiatus… sorry, it’s not dropped but it’ll probably be a while before I start posting again

A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two. But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

“Consider how this looks. The Senju proposes peace at the height of their power. The Uchiha, already losing, don’t have the resources to match the Senju. If the Senju provides us with food and armour, the Uchiha must become subordinate. Is that what you think of as peace, Senju? Over at the Uchiha compound, we call that subjugation by the most powerful.” “It seems that there is only one possible solution: the Senju must choose a symbol to subjugate itself to the Uchiha to balance out the scales. For that role, I volunteer myself.” The wise ones know: fires can warm and not burn; and rivers, if given strength and permission, will carve the land. (Or, the one in which Tobirama becomes Madara’s concubine, and peace is won and held through neither power nor love, but food, water, clothes, and medicine.) Complete.

This was NOT part of the plan. I was supposed to wake up after brain surgery and get better so I could do all the things my mom and I had been dreaming about for years. Like going to college, making friends, and traveling the world. I was NOT supposed to end up in the Twilight universe inside of Bella fucking Swan's body. Two months in and I can't avoid going to Forks. Renee is catching on too quickly. It's impossible to act in character all the time, especially since Bella's personality and mine are... not comparable... In a world of mythos, magic, and monsters, there has to be a way to get back to my world, right? Bella's fate was bound to be tangled in with the supernatural anyway, so no harm no foul. That's what I foolishly believed. The last thing I ever expected to find family with the Cullens...or to perhaps fall in love with a man who wasn't meant for me. What will happen if I wake up? What will happen if I never wake up? And how do I even begin to explain the difference between 'Bella' and ME? 〖currently updating the 4th Saturday of every month + I reply to every comment I receive〗

Eddard Stark, like many a man before him, underestimated the cunning of Olenna Tyrell. The Queen of Thorns is far from helpless when Robert wins his rebellion, and fearing retribution for siding with House Targaryen, Olenna takes drastic action to secure the future of her family.

A missed connection on the way home from Hermione's family ski trip in the middle of fifth year changes everything, and causes Hermione to question some implicit assumptions of the wizarding world. It also lays the groundwork for her inexorable collision in the Department of Mysteries with the /last/ woman to hold the title of "Brightest Witch of Her Age" -- Bellatrix Black Lestrange. And their battle will lead to the very situation they both want least--together, a struggle to survive, far away from any support. Note that Snowbound is now a completed story at 87/87.

"Is it okay?" Hoseok's palms slide on the sheets as he falls forward. "It isn't too much, is it?" "No," Yoongi says, rolling his hips experimentally. Hoseok can feel Yoongi clenching around him and then he can feel the way his body is now relaxing, opening up to the new sensations. It's a familiar pattern. Tense, release. Hold. Push deeper. Hoseok licks his lips and closes his eyes and tries not to come. "Hobi," Yoongi groans, tugging him closer, his hand twisted in Hoseok's hair. "Come on. Just let go. Please."

"When will this end? When you've flipped the Meta Liberation Army on its head?" Chitose asked. "All of Japan? The world?" "I'm not trying to do that," Mineta said, shaking his head. "I'm just trying to live my life. If one man can threaten a group just by existing, then it's a bad group. What I do with my life isn't any concern of theirs, so long as I don't harm them." "A lot of groups would disagree with that," Chitose pointed out. "When their followers leave because of you, they think you're harmful. You're stealing their people." "Individuals have free will," Mineta replied. "They're not slaves. They're not property. Those groups don't own their followers. That's how this whole mess got started."

Even at the moment of the hiraishin's conception, Tobirama knew the dangers of meddling with the very threads that make up the fabric of existence. He knew that repeated usage only made it easier to traverse between the dimensions because the user became physically more susceptible to slipping through the cracks. But knowing something is possible theoretically is very different from experiencing it for himself.

“I’ve been trying to figure out who you are,” Edward admitted quietly, after watching her concentrate on a math problem. She put her pencil down on the table. Every thought that Becca had, every feeling she’d felt so far today, had been crossed with her despairing mindset. She didn’t have a purpose outside of helping people. If she didn’t have a purpose, why was she alive? What was she doing, here in Forks or otherwise? “Well,” Becca said, glancing up at him. She smiled wryly. “If you figure it out, please tell me.

Jeon Jungkook always felt suffocated with his parents love for him. He knew they loved him, but he wasn’t sure that is how love felt. He thought it came with too many conditions. The books and the movies said that love was liberating and free. So he wanted to love, and wanted someone to love him. Love fully and freely. He wanted someone to understand him, and when he met the Kim pack, he felt loved. He thought he had finally found it. True love. Meet the Kim Pack, a powerful pack headed by Alpha Kim Seokjin and Kim Namjoon, who run Kim Limited, one of the most successful companies in Korea. Their omega mates Min Yoongi and Jeon Jungkook.

Everything was fine and dandy until their youngest omega mate starts to feel that their love was suffocating and choking him. What a grave misunderstanding. After all isn’t love possessive and all-consuming?

"She knows that ass. In fact, she'd spent the whole day staring at pictures of it. So she is absolutely, 100% certain that ass belongs to Dick Grayson. Now, if Dick Grayson wants to run across the rooftops dressed in spandex, that's his prerogative. The problem is, he's not just Dick Grayson. No. Dick Grayson is Nightwing. And she has questions."
