Summary
Metaphysical Multiversal travel might have been slightly above the pay grade of the average Hero in the iteration of the universe Izuku was born in this lifetime, but of course All for One had a quirk that did exactly that.
Or; Izuku gets dropped smack dab ad hoc in Old Gotham, finds himself in a war not unlike the one back home (times a million) — crazy rogues, crippling class struggles, dysfunctional institutions, caped crusaders — and maybe makes a few friends along the way.
And who is this Mirzada? And why does Damian know her?

The Akashic Records of Castlegar, Book One: The Great Conjunction by Thevina
Fandoms: Original Work
28 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
'Spinner' Bolthus is back at Castlegar for a first-ever alumni Old Scholars research winter term. He and his rook familiar, Astrid, are back on what has always felt like hallowed ground. At the opening welcoming dinner, totally absent from the last list Spinner had reviewed prior to arrival, his first and somehow relentlessly ex boyfriend he's not seen or heard from in twelve years, is there. Declan Winslow Williams III swoops in. Their magnetic, inexplicable relationship reignites, stepping into the same combustive patterns they had when undergrads. It's a torrid homecoming Spinner hadn't grokked he might need to emotionally prepare for, so his usual tendencies to self-preservation fail him when he compares sigils in a forgotten tome in Castlegar's library stacks and discovers they are the same as some being drawn by another sigilist from her own dreams there in real time… and he accidentally changes the course of his version of earth. WIP, mostly complete, a couple of scenes to be written and a major edit yet to go. [dated 11.27.23]

Summary
One moment I was running out for cigarettes. The next, I was waking up in a tomb somewhere very cold, very magical, and very much not Earth. There's magic in the air, runes in the margins, and the world's rules feel… bent. I don't know what I am. I don't know why I am. But I'm going to find out. Preferably without getting fireballed.

Summary
“I’m trying to put together whether we’re living on the ashes of something we burned down and sometimes they drift up—”
“Ashes. Now it’s ashes. A second ago it was rotten ice.”
“—and that’s all I’m seeing, or whether there’s something alive, a Leviathan, moving under all that, or whether I’m just losing my fucking mind. And that’s not a determination you can help me make.”

RUSTMARTY???? ALSO IM GONNA FUCKING SCRWEAM
-
Bookmark Notes:
There was no way to tell of the knife shredding the muscles in his stomach without telling of what had come after, of Sophia and his father in the darkness that was nothing more than dark, warm light. It would have been as meaningless, as lifeless, as a gallery of Audrey’s Carcosa pictures without the blue ones of the nighttime sea. Without her looking at Marty that way. And Rust drew, more and more these days, and knew the value of shades, thought that if the cultists had picked up his pencil, they would never have drawn a picture of Marty he would have recognized. Planes of light intersecting with darkness. Stars.
To look at them and see those downturned heads and from that draw some dark picture of what they worshiped without seeing first those dirt-stained human napes, vulnerable, wasn’t how he saw the world anymore. In the end they hadn’t had any secrets. They had been him. And he was no longer that version of himself.
--
It's all just one story, light versus dark, but the way this is told—these sentences, the words, the writing, shine with a clarity dredged up from the depths, Rust and his inability to turn away from the lingering shadows, filtered through his obsessive, fever-bright mind, a kite, tugged to-and-fro, and yet tempered, tethered by Marty's feet planted solidly on the ground. All the attention to detail, overflowing, in a mad world, Rust collects these tiny moments of warmth like talismans to combat the relentless dark, wow wow wow

Angel blood is a much better drug than angel dust. For a few drops, someone would sell their soul without a second thought.
But Lucifer doesn't need Alastor's soul. His body is enough.

Summary
The galaxy is a big place. An alien place. When you venture out into it, you never know where you'll be swept off to.
Thousands of colony ships left Earth. Most colonists landed right where they planned, built ordinary little settlements, and had regular contact with Earth.
But not all of them.
Maybe these were the lucky ones.

Summary
Whether you know yourself or not, there is an intimacy in being seen. To allow another to see you is to allow them to know you. There is no greater danger, but there is also no greater reward. This is a risk: will you take it?

The Importances of History (Class) by annasofroma

Summary
The region of Hisui is cold and deadly, and Pokémon find humans as alien as they find the monsters of the land. The long buried history of Hisui is barely murmured in folktales, ruins, and fragments of text written near the beginning of time, even as it echoes loud into the present in the words and actions of those now living there.
But though history (when viewed from such distance) may sound terribly complex, the impact of it isn't that complex at all. Most people simply don't think to consider how such things shape their day to day lives, due to having more relevant things to think about. The above was certainly true for Lucas, who, until he'd got a history pop quiz vie being isekai'd into the past, hadn't even put in the effort to stay awake during history class.
A shame, really.
But while having no clue what's going on might not be ideal, at least this ignorance really helps with Lucas's stress levels as he and everyone about him does their best in these terribly interesting times of upheaval and change.
