It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start. The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves. Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation. The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

The Republic sends a combat photographer to be attached to the 212th until further notice, citing the need for a morale boost. The clones make up a fake clone, citing the absolute fact that it is very funny.Somehow, these two things save the galaxy.

"I am Wan Shi Tong, He Who Knows Ten Thousand Things, and this is my library, my domain," he answered instead, "Who are you, mortal?" The boy hesitated but answered, "I... was Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. My... the Fire Lord has banished me, with no recourse to return." akaWan Shi Tong adopts Zuko AU

“The essence of totalitarian government, and perhaps the nature of every bureaucracy, is to make functionaries and mere cogs in the administrative machinery out of men, and thus to dehumanize them.“ After Voldemort wins over Wizarding Britain, Hermione emerges from hiding to undertake a dangerous mission for the now-decimated Order. Using a modified Polyjuice Potion, she adopts a new identity and begins working undercover at the Ministry of Magic, alongside Draco Malfoy.

The main question, she thinks, isn’t her chance at survival or whether she’ll stick to the plot. No, it’s whether she should change the flawed system that thrives off war and child soldiers. Arguably, she’s in the best position to fix it. People would certainly be more willing to listen to you if you threaten them with the giant fox demon in your gut. But what would the cost be? Her morals? Her humanity? The road to hell is paved with good intentions after all. (In which a human rights lawyer is reincarnated into a world without morality, without logic, and most of all, without laws. Helping the world was easier when people weren’t ninjas.)

When Castiel betrayed his king, he decided that his best chance was to stay hidden and out of sight. But that was weeks ago, and the situation has changed. Now Castiel has new options and new priorities to consider.

When people are desperate they turn to faith. Panem has done a good job creating a truly secular society, stamping out the religions of the past, but nothing can stop new gods from rising. - Or: When Gaea curses Percy to live in a world without the gods, he winds up in District 4 and is chosen as tribute for the 70th Hunger Games. From there, everything just kind of spirals.

"Don’t get caught, Reg had said, all the way back at Aunt Druella’s funeral, hugging her and begging her to be careful. And what’s the best way to not get caught? To have your cake and eat it too? Well. You got to be the one doing the catching, no?" A casual fan of Harry Potter who doesn't actually know much about it wakes up one day as Petra Calliope Black and decides to have fun.

Sokka wanted to see his dad more than anything in the world. Some nights, after everyone had gone to sleep and it was just him, he thought he would let the Fire Nation burn as many Earth Kingdom cities as they wanted if it meant that his dad could hold him close one more time and never have to let go. When Katara offered to stay behind, to let him see Dad, he was a hair's breadth away from agreeing.But Sokka knew his sister better than he thought he knew himself sometimes. For all her talent and kindness, she didn't have the same mind for strategy; she'd never needed to rely on it like he had. And while they’d traveled, she had been too focused on mastering her bending, and then teaching Aang to do the same, to notice all the little things that could make the difference between a successful invasion and a tragedy. Sokka had been the one to take note of everything. He was the one with the experience, and he knew that if this plan failed, it wouldn't matter if he got to see Dad right now anyways because he'd never have the chance to keep him. So he let Katara go instead of him.And that changed a lot of things. tl;dr: the 'sokka was the one with zuko in the caves under ba sing se' au i realized i needed

Adora finds the sword the first time she's in the whispering woods, and Adora returns safely with it to the Horde. On a related note, Shadow-Weaver has no need for Catra anymore, and her assassination attempt strands her in Rebellion custody, under the watchful eye of Queen Angella. It goes pretty poorly for everyone involved after that. CW: Non canon typical bloodshed, death. Darker world, exploration of propaganda, Shadow Weaver is a bitch. Canon typical abuse patterns. Shadow Weaver is a bitch. Self harming and self destructive behaviors. Self devaluation. Increasingly deviating from canon. Not a 1 for 1 canon rewrite.

Karkat is a breeder troll, a fate to those who were previously seen as freaks and culled. Now, being born with bright red blood makes him destined to give birth to grubs in place of the extinct Mother Grub. He resents and rebels against his fate. He finds an old decrepit castle which he makes his home and eventually turns it into an orphanage. But trolls were never one to take differences lightly and are determined to put Karkat in his place. They won't take change lightly, especially in times of desperation.Includes panels. The panels that contain gore are censored with a link to the uncensored version.

“Let me get you a glass of water,” Athena said. “You’ll see – everything will be all right.” The man who gave Josephine the injection wasn’t nearly so optimistic. “Throughout history,” he said, as the needle went into her arm, “there have always been those who are so ashamed of what they are, who wanted so badly to integrate, to assimilate, to curry favor with those in power, that they would sell their souls, sell out their own, or even commit suicide. It’s not just telepaths – it’s a human failing, I believe.” “Excuse me?” “You’re trying to be better than those of us who wear gloves. You’re trying to separate yourself from me, to hold onto what I’ve been denied by killing what makes you special, makes you gifted. You’re ready to hand over your soul for an empty promise of acceptance from normals, and what you think you’re entitled to. But you’re a fool, because they will never accept you. There’s only one future for telepaths – in unity, honesty, and pride in who we are. In absolute mutual guarantee, despite our differences. That’s the Corps.”

Stevie Campbell nervously wrung his hands backstage. Five minutes till his entrance on the DiPeso show, watched by millions - maybe even billions - across the world. He could hear the comedian cracking jokes for his opening monologue. Something was wrong. Very wrong. Deadly wrong.

Everyone born and raised in the Psi Corps knows the story of William Karges, the Corps' most famous hero. Come learn this story - the myth, and the truth! Edit: More on this story can be found in the novella here. A story focusing on the backstory of Karges' rescue of Robinson will also be forthcoming later in the project.
