An Intrusion Turned Salvation by AllTheLokisWelcome7

Summary
Despite, or perhaps because of, the frantic rise and fall of the Darkling's chest where he flattened himself against the wall, Avan adopted a disarmingly tranquil smile as he inched closer with a hand offered in silent compromise. They had no desire to harm anyone who freely surrendered.

Summary
After their third death, players are pulled back to their previous server via a pre-set admin tether.
...Well. They're supposed to be, anyway. Unfortunately for Pearl and Scott, however, things don't always happen how they're supposed to.
This is a story of two friends thrown from a cruel game into a cruel world, and how they deal with it. (Spoiler: the same way they always do. With jokes and chaos.)~
By the walls. I'm actually doing it. I'm writing a crossover between Attack on Titan and Double Life.
Updates depend on which is stronger: my sense of shame, or my heartfelt wish to see 5am Pearl terrorizing the Scouting Legion.~

Summary
Ilya Rozanov didn’t come to America to make friends. He came to play hockey, keep his head down, and stay as far away from home as possible.
But six months into living with a host family that barely tolerates him, it’s clear he’s failing at everything that isn’t on the ice.
When he’s told to find somewhere else to live—or risk being sent back to Russia—Ilya is left with a choice he’s not ready to make. He's left with one last chance: a hockey conference in Canada.
He can't go back.
He just doesn’t know where else to go.

Kept by the President by pedro_en_paris
Fandoms: Political RPF, Political RPF - France 21st c.
26 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
Pedro is nobody important. He is a broke boy from San Telmo, working in a bar, speaking the wrong languages, and trying to survive a life that has never offered him much tenderness. Then one night, Emmanuel Macron walks into his world, and everything begins to change.
What follows is not a fairy tale but a secret life built on distance, desire, class difference, shame, and the dangerous imbalance between being loved and being kept. Pedro is taken from Buenos Aires to Paris, hidden in elegant rooms he does not know how to inhabit, learning French word by word while waiting for a man who belongs more to history, power, and the public than he will ever belong to Pedro.
As their relationship deepens, fractures, and turns cruel in all the ways love can, Pedro is forced to ask what he is to the President of France: a lover, a weakness, a mistake, a passing refuge, or something far more difficult to name. Around them, politics keeps moving, and so do the people closest to power. Gabriel Attal and Stéphane Séjourné circle through the same world with their own history of ambition, loyalty, loss, and desire, reminding Pedro that love near power is never simple, and never private.

Summary
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano are captured by the Mandalorian Empire on a mission to protect Padme Amidala. The good news is: they all succesfully hide their identities so they easily escape the Integration centre, they get forced into, which was not adapted to keep Jedi trapped. The bad news: none of them are very good at keeping a low profile. At all.
“Barriss Offee is one of Ahsoka’s new classmates.”
“Is she…?”
“...integrated?” Ahsoka finished his question. “Yes but she still promised she wouldn’t tell on us being here.”
“Could she be lying?”
“Sure, but what could we do about it?”
“I got promoted,” Anakin tried to hide his enthusiasm. “I am now allowed to repair beskar'gam for the palace guard.”
Padme rubbed her eyes. “Well talking about promotions… I guess I am now the president of the parent teacher association of Ahsoka's school.”
Obi-Wan sighed. “How did every single one of us managed to make our situation even worse than it already was?”
Anakin looked at him with narrowed eyes. “Every single one of us?”
Obi-Wan closed his eyes, took a deep breath and answered. “I slept with the Mand’alor’s son.”

Andorotaurë by X_Nina_X

Summary
In a language that does not belong to our world, the forest is called Andorotaurë, a forest of gates. Lily is blissfully unaware of this and thinks it is just a Finnish word. Once she arrives at the estate hidden in the depths of the forest, she realises there is more at play than she expected. From the start, everything has been strange, she inherited the house from a relative she had never met, and it feels as if every room and corridor is hiding something just beyond her sight. When one night an accident occurs that leaves her no option but to trust these weird fae-like creatures that she is unable to properly communicate with, the only thing she can do is hope everything will be better soon and that she will not get killed before that time.
Or, a few of Tolkien's elves end up in our modern world, but nothing goes the way it is supposed to due to language barriers, fear and the fact the 3C are not always the best at handling certain matters such as scared human girls. Inspired by What the hell is happening by leader_in_red.

Summary
A Rocky POV of Project Hail Mary, but add in a sprinkle of originally named astrophages, petrova lines, and extra, extra worldbuilding.
***
One day, his strumming was not answered.
The silence that answered his one verse of song was horrible and grating. Incomplete. Empty. A sick, horrible fear built up inside him.
(He was going to die out here. Alone.)

Summary
Two and a half weeks out of the Holler, Haven realises they've left a smoking trail of destruction in their wake. The curse is broken, and the town and the Scarlets are free of the evils that have beset both for a hundred and fifty years, but the mine is closed until a new shaft can be sunk, and the town is dying without it. Reese and Haven decide to go back and make a go at propping it up a while longer. Haven convinces Tabitha to lend them the old, boarded up storefront on the corner of Main Street, so they can renovate it and open a gallery, hopefully to draw in tourist money.
Everything that can go wrong does go wrong, and on top of that, the building's haunted by two things that might not be ghosts, and the cat that might not be a cat keeps eating things that might not be possums.

Summary
Some things, it turns out, are easier to admit in the wrong language.
In Spanish, in Dutch, in words that feel just distant enough to be safe, you can admit truths you'd never dare to say in English. Because it doesn't count if you don't say it in English, right?
or
the one where Max buys a dryer, Nico has a crisis in Switzerland, and Lance realizes Fernando understands French a bit too well

Summary
It turns out that being wired into giant war machines doesn’t play nice with human brains. The Earth Mechanical Defense Force, or EMDF, learned that the hard way when their pilots started going… neurotic, let’s say, after a few missions.
The obvious solution to that problem was to simply wire the pilot into their mecha permanently, that way their mind wasn’t being strained by the constant in and out. Unfortunately that strategy backfired and the pilots started going neurotic much, much faster, and this time they were giant and made of metal and much harder to put down.
So, the obvious next step would be to pull the plug on that idea and go back to the drawing board, right? No, that’s ridiculous, the next step was obviously to simply…
Make the mecha forget they’d ever been human in the first place.
Somewhere along the line someone should have pulled the plug, but they’d already invested so much into the project, and you know what they say about sunk cost fallacy.

Summary
Yuji is tired and depressed; so many of his friends died and he’s just so tired of losing people. He somehow ends up in the Heian Era as a three year old with the memories of a nineteen year old. It goes about as poorly as you’d expect.
I’ve never read the manga, but I have seen a few spoilers so there might be some inaccuracies where I just made stuff up to fill in the gaps.
