escapism

Harry's shy and virginal with a past, new on the football team; Louis' the (experienced) popular star of the team and Harry's new mentor.

Peter couldn’t remember the last time he could just… breathe. Instead, he sits on the edge of an apartment building’s roof and rolls up the bottom of his mask, gulps in burning lungfuls of the unforgiving night air, and tugs his mask back on. Crime stops for no one, not even Spiderman. Or: May dies, and Peter devolves into homelessness and isolation. Past demons reappear, old wars are waged, and it feels like Peter has no one to turn to, not even Mr. Stark. Like always, Peter’s life gets better before it gets worse, and it gets worse before it gets better. -Nominated in the Best Multi-chapter Category in the Irondad Creator Awards 2023 :)

It all begins here in Winter, 1996. Left in the streets of LA, a blue-eyed boy finds his home. This is his story, his life, what he learns and who he grows up to be. And all it took was a little love. - OR the Athena adopts Buck fic. [Completed 4/16/2023: Crescendo] <3<3<3

***I encourage those who usually don't read teachers/students to give this a chance. Despite this being a teacher/student fic, there are no instances in which there are taboo power dynamics, at least of a sexual nature. Heed the slow burn quite literally. A smoldering if you will. After catching Y/N breaking the rules, Severus Snape begins to see the layers of the quiet student's personality peel before his eyes. The more he sees, the more intrigued he becomes as he indulges in the growing connection that exposes him to a world he thought he once knew and the peace he'd always been yearning for. --- Takes place in the 90's like the movies (I'd like to think 1996 or 1997), but some character time-canon things are tweaked, so it's not strictly canon-compliant (Draco is not at Hogwarts yet and the Weasley twins are in their third year). I write her being 20-21 in mind, but feel free to self-insert a different age. Reader is a 7th-year student who transferred in her 5th year. Snape being Draco's godfather Fanon trope included. Malfoy family is a little OOC (they are not blood supremacists.) *Potentially triggering content will have warnings applied in their designated chapters*

"Nobody likes it here. About one in every five doctors might be here to help the patients, the rest are here to study the patients. But you know what? You need this, we all need this. We have to try. It’s not going to be easy, it's not going to be pleasant. It's not going to be fun, or about making friends; or even, hell, escaping—though all of those might happen. Who knows? Being here is about one thing, and it’s the most important thing of all: getting better."

But your luck runs out when a man with actual real, God given magic arrives. He takes your place in the Grandmaster's favor, and you?You take your place under the real magical trickster, learning that no matter what story you spin, the one you're in now will only end when Loki wants it to.

It took some time for Shen qingqiu to recognize that his husband had fallen out of love. It wasn’t because he failed to notice the growing distance between them, but rather that after so many years together and all the misunderstandings they went through he would prefer to ignore it.
