Summary
Even now there was still some small part of him that always scanned a crowd for him—some small part of him that always fluttered with hope when he saw someone who might be the right height, or whose hair might be the right color. Some small part of him that hoped they’d see each other again. Some small part of him that still wanted their stolen time back.
---
Captain America's identity was supposed to be a secret, until suddenly it wasn't. Now too famous for special ops in Afghanistan, Steve Rogers is stuck riding a desk at SHIELD's public affairs office and counting down the days till he can turn in his dog tags and leave the sleaze of Washington D.C. behind once and for all.
His childhood best friend, Bucky Barnes, is a wounded vet trying to adjust to civilian life after a military career he can't talk about. Even though it's been almost 20 years since they've seen each other, it feels like nothing's changed.
Except that everything has.

Summary
“My answer is the same,” he croaks out, sounding like he’s swallowed razor blades. Merlin, when was the last time he spoke instead of screaming? “If you’re going to kill me, just kill me and get it over with.”
“Percy?” comes a female voice, unsure. Percy freezes. Where had he heard that voice before? Ages ago, when he was younger…
“Tonks?” he asks, feeling a bit mad.
“Sweet Merlin and Mary! What the fuck?"
Yeah, that was Tonks.

Percy is rescued from Death Eaters two months after the war is over. He has a lot of secrets to hide.-

Summary
Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.
By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.
Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death.
Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it.
…But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun…
And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

(Read up to Chapter 23.) This worldbuilding premise is super interesting. I would love to know if there’s fanart for what has happened to “Muggle” London and how expansive “Magical” London has become. And also, Draco’s denial is endearing.

Summary
If there’s one thing Izuku never imagined happening to him after losing One For All, was to be forgotten.
Now a professor at U.A. High, he spends his days teaching and his nights haunted by the life he left behind. He tells himself the quiet is enough, but the ache of his past—of failed dreams, lost purpose, and a failed relationship with his best friend that crumbled under the weight of their differences—refuses to fade.
When a stranger steps out of the shadows with an offer Izuku can’t ignore, he’s thrust into a hidden world of corruption and power. Beneath the polished hero rankings and dazzling debuts lies a web of lies spun by the Hero Commission and government officials—a system built on control, manipulation, and deceit.
As Izuku uncovers the truth, his world begins to crumble. Faced with a choice between the life he’s built and the chance to truly make a difference, Izuku must decide: will he cling to the legacy of the hero he once was, or risk everything to fight in the shadows?

Summary
Hawks panics. "Okay, alright, jeez, you caught me, I..." Hawks hesitates, gulps; tumbles forward, "Have no idea who you are." The eyebrow is still raised. "...Sorry?"
Crispy Cream doesn't say anything for a long moment. The mental pressure it creates makes Hawks want to babble, but he manages to hold his tongue this time.
"I can't tell if you're screwing with me or what," Crispy Cream drawls.
"It's the 'or what'," Hawks offers.
Hawks gets hit with an amnesia quirk. Dabi gets begrudgingly involved.

Summary
After decades of political and economic pressures fail to inspire a Cardassian withdrawal from its occupation of Bajor, the Federation decides to intervene, neutrality be damned.
A joint Starfleet-Bajorian task force led by Commander Benjamin Sisko takes the strategically located Terok-Nor space station. They must maintain control, no matter the cost, long enough for the rest of the ships Starfleet promised to the Bajoran Resistance to reach them. Unfortunately, Bajor is on the fringes of known space, and Starfleet’s forces are stretched thin as it is. Reinforcements could take weeks—months—to arrive.
Against a backdrop of phaser fire and rapidly worsening odds, Doctor Julian Bashir finds himself caught in a vicious battle of wits with an Obsidian Order operative called the Tailor. A strange mutual respect soon grows between them. A strange…affection.
However, when a botched mission results in Julian’s capture, they must both decide how far they’re willing to go (and how much they’re willing to sacrifice) to win.
Will you walk into my parlor? said the spider to the fly.

Summary
Hi, I'm Living and these are my Merthur fics. duh :)
If you like Arthur being down bad (and oftentimes stupid) and Merlin being god-levels of powerful, featuring the caring and comic-relief cast of knights, then you're in luck.
(I watched BBC Merlin for the first time in 2016, and I think Merlin is one of the best fictional characters of all time. Much of this is self-indulgent, Merlin-getting-the-respect-he-deserves kind of stuff. If you like strong/brave/wise/powerful Merlin, who handles everything on his own because he loves his friends too much to endanger them, then you'll like these. Also a lot of humor, or at least an attempt at it. Go nuts :)

Summary
“I like the kind of person who doesn’t flinch when I look them in the eye, who doesn’t back down.” Childe’s grip on his tie tightens, eye to eye, blue to gold. “Someone strong enough to match me and ambitious enough to enjoy the...challenge.”
Zhongli’s rationality is swallowed by that soft ocean scent, his lungs clogged by the shimmering heat that drenches the air.
“Is that what you are?” he murmurs. “A challenge?”
“I think you’ll find, Mr. Zhongli, that I am the greatest challenge you will ever face.” Childe’s lips are a sin, hovering over his, apple-sweet temptation. “Will you back down now?”
And Zhongli, cursing himself, does not back down.
Childe is a dangerous crime boss threatening the peace of Liyue. Zhongli is the retired intelligence agent sent to infiltrate his organization and bring him to justice.
But beneath Childe’s many masks, Zhongli finds a lost soul who yearns for redemption, and beyond Zhongli’s steadfast duty, Childe finds a tired soldier who yearns for a home.

Summary
The increasingly complicated journey of a demigod who just wanted her friends to be able to go to school....
Or.....I (the writer) attempt to fix my personal issues with the MCU by applying an original character and the Riordanverse.
It should work out.
Along the way enjoy my unnecessary references, use of dramatic irony, fluff because we deserve it, and pointed questions.
Also, demigods because we all need more of them.

Summary
"Agent Rogers. We have to stop meeting like this." The Winter Soldier crouched in front of where Steve was slumped against the wall, hands and forearms glued to the stone behind him by some kind of sticky polymer. "Comfortable?"
"No," Steve lied. "My blood circulation has been cut off. I've lost all feeling in my hands."
"Oh, so I should probably cut you loose," the Soldier deadpanned.
"It's a medical emergency. You don't want to be responsible for me losing limbs, do you?"
"Tell you what, if you lose your hands, I'll make you some new ones." He held up his metal hand, smallest finger crooked. “Pinkie promise.”

Fred crouched lower, his hands pressing against Percy’s chest as if he could keep his brother tethered to the world through sheer will. “You can’t die, Perce,” he whispered, his voice shaking so hard it barely came out. “You can’t, not after everything. Come on. I need you, Percy.”
