Something Wicked, This Way Comes by galileagalilei

Summary
This is no fairy tale.
It is a story of revenge carried out by the forsaken, of unseen horrors lurking in the deep of night.
A wraith clings to life, refusing to die, dragging itself back from the brink again and again. And a boy is desperately chasing Death, longing to be held in its loving, cold embrace.
—
Harry doesn’t care about fate or timelines. He isn’t there to save anyone.
… He is nobody’s savior.
No– Harry is there for one reason, and one reason only.
He was there to kill a man.
Albus Dumbledore.

Summary
After World War I, over 70 German ships interned at the British naval base Scapa Flow mysteriously disappeared…
More than two decades later in 1940, the world is engulfed in a new war against the Mundus Empire, an invading force from another dimension. Having conquered the Southern Hemisphere and steadily expanding its territory, the Mundus Empire has finally set its sights on the Northern Hemisphere.
The United States Pacific Fleet is annihilated off the coast of Hawaii, and the Imperial Japanese Navy’s vaunted Combined Fleet suffers a crushing defeat at the hands of the Mundus Empire’s fleet that has invaded the Truk Islands.
Cornered, the Combined Fleet is relieved by the arrival of a secret fleet of battleships and warships that were supposed to have been sunk as targets under the Washington Naval Treaty, including the battleship Tosa and the German ships that scuttled themselves at Scapa Flow.
Resurrected and transformed by the Magitek Research Department, these ships and weapons are Japan’s new hope against the otherworldly invaders.
Rise, scuttled fleet!

Summary
The last time he saw her was the first time she met him. Every time he reached for her in his memory – in Siberia, in Rostock, in Bucharest – she had been walking toward that moment on the train.
Their lives ran in opposite directions. His beginning was her end.
Does it count as an embrace if we've stood in the same wind, seen the same sky, but at the wrong place, wrong time?
Bucky remembers his past out of order, but that's okay, because Mirai’s story was never linear either.
Isekai/time traveller!OC x Bucky fic, in which she finds herself in Bucky's past again and again, and discovers what home really means on the way.
Rated for blood, violence, and mature themes. Timeline spans sporadically across 1938 to 2023.

Summary
It's the 1940s and Europe is crumbling. As the man made horrors of World War Two ravage the continent, the Wizarding World continues to tremble under the dark influence of Gellert Grindelwald. There is no safety, no reprieve for the common folk regardless of magical ability. The only people who seem to be unaffected are the Pureblooded Elite who's progeny rule over the halls of Hogwarts with all of the disgusting self indulgence and lack of empathy of Emperor Nero himself. They are beautiful, wicked, and most importantly, powerful. A young Tom Riddle is chomping at the bit to gain influence over his posh. empty-headed peers. He's been successful in securing the dimmest of the group under his thumb, but the truly influential pawns continue to evade him. He needs an in, one that not all the scheming in the world seems to be able to grant him. That is until he finds himself partnered with Serraphina Selwyn for Prefect duties. First born to renowned curse breaker Geneth Selwyn, she stands as heir to the pureblooded family's fortune and sacred magic. Serraphina, who represents everything Tom envies, must be his. The two form a deadly alliance that turns into a sordid affair. Bloody secrets, dark magic, and curses abound.

Summary
诚实的说，这其实是大概八年前圈内一个太太的梗，当时的民国AU几乎清一色的军阀or少爷平x戏子乐，所以太太就偏偏逆反要搞一个戏子平x少爷乐——这可太对我胃口了，而且好像是说可以拿去写来着。
这么多年，我一直没忘记这个故事，而且，早在岁月的长河里把它培育得几乎看不出原来的样子了，连核心的职业设定都变了。但还是在尝试着一路保持着写“反差”的初心，看看能不能顺利完成吧。也是第一次真正写双男主，希望不会把孙哲平写崩。
因为是民国au，人物的出身背景都会有所不同，所以与原著向比起来，总会有那么一些——“不太像原著”，但我在尽力的找到关键剧情的原著映射，能不能被看出来就不知道了。
行，如果以上你都接受，我们就开始吧！ -

Summary
Hope Mikaelson has been hunted since her conception. Born to become the Tribrid, now destined to destroy Malivore—the monster possessing her first love—Hope would need to activate her vampire side before she's even 16. Desperate to help, her aunts send her to another world, far from the dangers that have defined her life.
But Hope doesn’t just land in any world—she finds herself in the wizarding world of Harry Potter, decades before the story she knows unfolds. Her presence disrupts the balance of power, drawing the attention of Tom Riddle, a prodigy whose ambition rivals his darkness.
Hope wants nothing more than a quiet life, but her formidable magic makes her a prize every wizard covets. To Tom, however, she is more than just a puzzle—she’s an answer to his prayers. The only witch who can rival his power, with more secrets than he can allow.
As they circle each other in a game of curiosity and control, their connection becomes undeniable. For every speck darkness in Tom, there’s a spark of light in Hope, and together they walk a fine line between passion and destruction. In a world teetering on the edge of war, can two fractured souls find balance in each other—or will they ignite an unquenchable fire? -

"As the young girl stared into the space between herself and her father, a silent understanding settled. Life as she knew it was no longer the norm. War demanded sacrifices, and Angela’s childhood was the latest offering on its altar."

"We Happy Few" is one of my favorite games. Even if nobody reads this, I've already written out all of the pre-game lore I wanted to (but as Smosh) so strap in and enjoy (if you want) lol

Summary
Before HYDRA ever learned her name, she belonged to the river.
Anna Vaduva grew up in a quiet village outside Lublin, Poland, where winters bit hard, summers burned gold, and the Wisła wound through the valley like it carried a memory of its own. She was stubborn, bright, and full of restless life, a girl with uneven braids, skinned knees, and the quiet belief that the river could hear every secret she gave it.
Then the war found her.
Taken in 1942, Anna is dragged into HYDRA’s hands and remade into something unrecognizable. Piece by piece, they strip away her name, her family, and the softness that once defined her, until all that remains is something sharper, colder, and far more dangerous.
But HYDRA did not create her in isolation.
At her side stands another of their making: James Buchanan Barnes, a man broken, rebuilt, and sent back into the world as the Winter Soldier. Bound by violence, memory, and the machinery that forged them both, their lives become tangled in ways neither of them can escape.
Still, some things refuse to disappear.
The river remembers the girl Anna used to be.
The question is whether she will remember her too.
