    Summary

    He feels deeply saddened upon seing how the mech has never been properly loved, he wants Megatron to know how it feels like, he really wants it, and if he is the mech to show him, so be it, he wouldn't mind, he really wouldn't.

    Summary

    Bakugou has never liked sweets. Or strawberries or cute teddy bears on flashy nails.

    You’ve never liked loud action movies, extremely heavy metal and spicy ramen.

    But, fate has a way of bringing two very different people together who don’t realise how similar they are.

    Especially, if they are childhood friends.

    Summary

    “Wait!” Valjean very nearly shouted again, despairing. “You would have me bear witness to this?”

    His voice carried strangely, surrounding Javert where he stood upon the parapet, not quite an echo. It settled warmly in his chest, like sunlight on a spring day to his deciduous heart. He could not account for this feeling. It grated against his misery, teasing at something like hope in his own sorry breast. What a cruel trick it was, to try to steal his hopelessness.

    “I did not ask for you to be here,” Javert said, his own desperation beginning to bleed into his tone of voice. “You are free to leave me at any time.”

    “Surely you must know I cannot do that.”

    “Avert your gaze, then,” he said, near to a growl, “and let me be.”

    Summary

    Robert and Martin were sixteen and seventeen when they found each other in a place that taught them both to be ashamed.

    Martin received it like a threat. 💔

    Thirteen years later, in New York City, they meet again under a stolen name, carrying the same past in two very different bodies. Robert has built a quiet life around survival. Martin has built a successful one around guilt.
    But some things do not stay buried just because two boys grew up and crossed an ocean.
    Birthday Love is a story about first love, internalized shame, old wounds, second chances, and the kind of tenderness that can touch a wound without erasing the scar. ❤️‍🩹

    Summary

    They walked across the carpark and when they reached the street, Rozanov turned to him as he stepped off the curb. “So, when did boring Canadian boy--”

    But that was all that came out before a car skidded into him.

    Shane stumbled back as the sound of air bursting from Rozanov's lungs hit him. He tumbled over the roof of the car and onto the snowy asphalt below. The car kept skidding onwards, crashing into a car in front and before Shane even knew what was happening, he was scrambling towards Rozanov’s body.

    “Rozanov, Ilya-- can you hear me? Fuck! Are you okay?” He asked, frantic. There was so much blood, people were running towards them. He could hear phones being dialled, could feel the presence of others around them.

    Ilya’s eyes were open, but it was as if he were looking past him, up towards the sky above. He coughed once and blood sputtered out, dribbling down his face "Mama." He said softly.

    ---

    Since Shane was a young boy he has been able to rewind time. He had never done it for anything huge, just small things here and there.

    Then Ilya Rozanov died in front of him.

    Summary

    In the golden light of Suramar, Illidan Stormrage is only an apprentice—brilliant, restless, and disastrously in love.

    Lytavis Ariakan has always known who he is beneath the ambition and fire. She steadies him, challenges him, and chooses him long before history does. Between candlelight and star-charts, awkward first times and whispered vows, they build something fragile and luminous: a future.

    But hope, however bright, does not exist untouched.

    Of Grace and Hope is the story of who Illidan was before the fall—and who he chose to become when love asked more of him than power ever did.

    Summary

    Koutarou only remembers that night in flashes. He and Akaashi went to a bar, he remembers vividly. He remembered going to the bathroom and an older guy was hunched over and clutching his stomach in pain. Then he was outside with the old guy. Then there was a searing pain he had never experienced before, not even when his tattoo of a volleyball on his shoulder got infected the day after he got it. If he thinks hard enough, he was pretty sure there were trees at some point. And then he woke up in his own bed with the worst hangover of his life and 52 missed calls from Akaashi on his phone.

    AKA bokuto's plans to ask Akaashi out are put on hold when he discovers he's a werewolf. Now he's stuck trying to figure out what happened and where to go from here. For as helpful as Kuroo is in all this, he really wishes Akaashi was able to help too. But he can't because telling him would put him in too much danger.

    Because there's also a vampire that wants him dead.
