    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov built his tech empire from nothing, but the CEO who always wins is suddenly losing the one fight that matters—custody of his six-year-old niece, Alexandra. A strict judge, hostile old-money grandparents, and a brutal legal brief all paint him as too busy to be the parent she needs.

    Shane Hollander, the NHL’s first openly omega captain, has spent his entire career proving he belongs. At thirty-two, with contract negotiations looming and a franchise in quiet turmoil, he’s one bad headline away from having his legacy written for him.

    They come from two different worlds—until a chance meeting on a Cape Cod beach leads to a marriage of convenience. Shane offers the stable two-parent home the court wants. Ilya will use his connections to the incoming Voyageurs ownership group, and his considerable influence to make sure Shane walks into contract negotiations as something other than a question mark.

    Everyone gets what they need. Shane gets to keep his contract. Ilya gets to keep his niece. And absolutely no one will fall in love.

    Really.

    Summary

    Galan Andre Von Athalon is a god who has already won.

    He conquered the Roman Empire. He reshaped its laws. He sated his vengeance. But for a god-king, peace is a hollow victory when it is haunted by the ghost of the woman he couldn't save.

    To escape a grief that his throne cannot silence, Galan accepts a task from the divine council: investigate the vengeful spirits slaughtering the guilty across Japan. Under the guise of a common tourist named Odagawa, Galan enters a land of profitable stalemates and ancient yookai secrets.

    He brings with him the mind-shattering power of a deity, yet he remains powerless against his own memories. As his investigation carries him from battling legendary demonic champions in packed theaters to verbally sparring with ancient fox spymasters over tea, Galan realizes the ghosts’ methods mirror his own bloody history too closely.

    To save the archipelago, he must do more than exorcise spirits; he must confront the tyrant he once was and the widower he is now. If he fails, the fragile peace will collapse—and the ghosts may prove that justice was never his nature, only the monster he has always known himself to be.

    Summary

    A former MMA fighter finds himself reincarnated as a young orphan in the Pokémon World. Unlike the cheerful and bright world he once saw on screens, this version is brutal, filled with danger, desperation, and morally gray decisions.

    Join Alex as he not only survives but thrives in a world filled with battle, violence, and monsters beyond humanity's control, as he fights back with everything he has and more.

    Summary

    They raised him to be a hero.
    They forgot to make sure he stayed one.
    ____
    Harry Potter has always believed in the light.
    In the idea that it guides, protects, and chooses what is right. That if he follows it closely enough, it will lead him where he is meant to go.
    Fourth year begins by breaking that certainty apart.
    The Triwizard Tournament forces his name into a binding contract, granting him a freedom he was never supposed to have. Then, a notice from Gringotts reveals magic buried deep within him, layered and deliberate, shaping more than just his power.
    With it comes clarity.
    The world he trusted begins to shift. Alliances grow uncertain. Enemies become something far more complicated. And the line between guidance and control begins to disappear entirely.
    Because if the light has been controlling him all along, then perhaps it is time to step out of it.
    And decide, for the first time, what he is willing to become.

    Summary

    Sometimes you don't realize you're way over your head until you've taken a first class ticket to the bottom of the ocean.

    A JoJo's Bizarre Adventure original-universe novel. New Stands, new bloodline, new apocalypse. Long road. Bad protagonist. Cold sun.

    Summary

    "And what if I am the one being hunted? What if the price on my head is far greater than the one for your company?”

    The exposed part of Teldryn’s face, his mouth freed from his crimson cowl to nurse his drink, spread into a wicked grin. “I think someone like you would be a lot of fun for someone like me."

    A story in which two elves running away from their pasts run into each other on the final frontier, the frigid island of Solstheim. Little did they know, they would embark on an adventure that would save a world without a Dragonborn.

    Summary

    “Hey there, Greenie.” CatJack greeted as if they had just run into each other at the supermarket instead of during one of the thief’s infamous heists. “Long time, no see.”

    “Return the painting, CatJack.” Lloyd ordered.

    CatJack smiled back mischievously. “Why don’t you make me?”

    “I don’t want to fight you.” Despite his words, Lloyd readied himself in a fighting position.

    “Aww, that’s too bad,” CatJack practically purred, “You know I like it rough.”

    Or

    Lloyd is pursuing the notorious thief CatJack. Too bad all CatJack wants to do is fluster him. Meanwhile, Brad Tudabone is the literal cat burglar CatJack and loves making the Green Ninja blush

    Summary

    Togata had been cast as a lingering spirit in the theater of the afterlife waiting for Agni, but when a mysterious red-haired woman bearing the name of "Makima" stated she would conjure him back to the past to create a greater future, Togata is forced to accept the terms of her agreement. As he, the hybrid boy Denji and the fiend Power grow a closer bond as Devil Hunters through their numerous encounters, Togata wrestles with the weight of previous future misdeeds and begins to turn his outside self into the man he is inside.

    As increasing irregularities pile up, the trio begins to realize that something is very wrong with the fabric of their reality, and has been for a long time. As revelations mount, Makima proves herself to be both a horrific enemy and a necessary ally against the worse horrors that wait at the doorstep for mankind.

    This is intended both as a crossover fic and partially as a fix fic following Chapter 232 without decanonizing it, using a character I loved and had an arc that finished in Fire Punch but which I feel has even more potential for exploration and growth.

    Summary

    Death is only a transition. For the soul of a contemporary man, it became reincarnation into the void, where his only reality was a body of pure energy. But one reckless experiment tossed him into the body of an infant in a shinobi world he’d always thought was fiction — a world ruled by Blood and Chakra

    What to expect:

    Atmosphere: Positive Pragmatism! This is NOT a darkfic. Expect a positive tone with dark humor. Tragedy serves only as a catalyst for the protagonist's rise. This is a story about growth and paying the price for power, not endless self-pity.

    World & Plot: A deep AU exploring chakra mechanics far beyond canon. Like the "Evolution" tag? You’ll find it here in this world of blood. Battles are flashy, cinematic, and high-stakes.

    Canon: Familiar, but new variables send the plot completely off the rails.

    Characters & Growth: A strong focus on both the protagonist and side characters. The MC undergoes a massive transformation from a regular student to a powerhouse. While there is deep reflection and introspection, it is mostly confined to the start of the story to set the stage—no endless navel-gazing later on.
