Salt, Antiseptic, and Static on the Horizon by dollpilledd

Summary
The summer of fifteen is a fever dream of melting asphalt, salt-crusted skin, and the suffocating silence of a home that feels more like a cage. Chuuya Nakahara wants to disappear. He finds his fortress in the back stacks of the Yokohama Central Library, but he isn't alone.
Osamu Dazai is a collection of sharp angles, sterile bandages, and charcoal drawings of moths eating porcelain hearts. He is everything Chuuya’s conservative parents warned him about—and everything Chuuya can’t seem to stay away from.
From the dusty corners of the library to the dizzying heights of unused parking garages, they build a world out of stolen cigarettes, shared headphones, and the unspoken pact to never go home. But as the heat rises, so does the "rot" Dazai carries in his veins, and Chuuya finds himself caught between the repulsion of his own heart and the violent urge to protect the boy who calls himself a ghost.

Summary
After the fight, everyone picked a side.
Haley lost her best friend in a moment that keeps replaying, no matter how hard she tries to move on. The girl everyone called "difficult" isn't here to defend herself anymore, and Haley is expected to grieve quietly, quickly, and without asking any questions.
Adri didn't kill anybody. She just dated the boy who did. But now people look at her like violence is contagious, and even the person she trusts the most isn't sure she deserves forgiveness.
Neither wants anything to do with the other, but they're dragged together by the weight of the worst day of their lives. And while they can't see it yet, they're circling the same question: How do you keep going when survival isn't pretty?

Summary
Who said the Ancients were the only heroes around?
Since the beginning of time, evil has always ravaged these lands. Cookies scattered through the wind as flavorless powder. Kingdoms fell at nothing but a whim. Brothers turned on brothers with nothing but a lie. Many rotted under the sweetest poison. And some…some were taken captive, to be silenced forever. And yet…every time the Beasts cause their ruin, something else sparks in the heart of cookies. Because for every darkness that rises, there are always those who oppose it. Because these Beasts don’t fight for Kingdoms, nor for peace. They fight for dominion. To them, ruin is creation. So the story begins. The call has been heard across kingdoms and the Ancients were never the only heroes around.

Summary
Polites never thought he'd be the one left behind.
When the Cyclops strikes him, his survival depends on a choice he can't understand - a choice Odysseus makes without looking back. Abandoned, broken, and betrayed, Poli finds himself in the hands of a god who promises guidance... but at a cost he never imagined.
As Poseidon teaches him the ruthless truths the world refuses to show, Polites must decide whether to cling to the kindness that defines him or wield it as a weapon against the world that left him behind. Loyalty, betrayal, and the fine line between mercy and survival collide in a journey where the lessons of the sea are far darker than the storms themselves.
"Pain You Sow is Pain You Reap" follows Polites as he faces betrayal, survival, and the ruthless lessons of the gods, discovering that kindness can be a weakness and power comes at a price.So, reader, are you ready to learn what the gods won't teach you?

With her mother just up and disappearing one day, a father that couldn't care less about his third daughter, already having an heir and even a spare, a dead cousin and an absent uncle, Zera sets out onto her own path, a curious, old script from Avatar Roku's time sparking her curiosity as she leaves the castle of the Fire Lord to discover the greater world. -

“There's dueling, Slytherin parties, and Death Eater meetings. Following Theo from OOTP+, we watch Theo on his journey to embrace the Dark Arts but not the Dark Lord.
OOTP CH 1-15
HBP CH 16+***
Theodore, I know you’ve heard the rumors. Our Dark Lord has returned. You will train this summer to be worthy of being His follower, and I will test all you’ve accomplished from the past school term. You must prove to me you’re worth to bear my name, a credit to the Notts.”
Theo took a breath and nodded, then replied with a calm, steady voice. “I understand, Father. I will fight hard. I am a worthy Nott.”
***
What happened this summer?” Snape asked quietly. “I thought we had achieved a degree of control.”
Theo laughed once, sharp and humorless. “The Dark Lord happened. Apollonius happened. Things escalated.”
Snape’s expression hardened. “And keeping your head down?”
“No longer sufficient,” Theo said.
“Do you wish to serve him, Nott?” Snape queried giving him a look that Theo couldn’t discern.
Theo stared at the ceiling. The question itself was a trap, meant to test allegiances.
“Whether I want to or not, that is not for me to choose." -
