AVATAR ׃ Replace and Kill the Avatar by heavenlyfengya

Summary
The World reset in 300 AG, two cycles after Korra.
The reasons were known, however, documentation proved hard.
From then on, cycles of Avatars were hunted and lynched to pay for their “crimes.”
The world, post-apocalyptic, rebuilt itself into prosperity without the Avatar. From then, grew an age where the Avatar, never to be loved, always to be hated, was not needed.
The Avatars quickly figured it out, to help from the shadows and hide in plain sight.
Until a fire-born Avatar found a little girl in a water tribe willing to be his mascot and his face, to improve his reputation for the safety of all future Avatars and the World—
—That kids no one. There is no noble way to put it, the Avatar is conspiring with a child to create a False Avatar.
Soon enough, the little girl turns on him as well. “You are not fit to be the Avatar.”
“I’ll kill you and take your place.”
“Will you?” His question glinted with a flame of mockery.
She said. “A flame put out and put back isn’t the same flame. Is that not how the cycle works? Regardless, whether it is me or isn’t me… The next Avatar will be better!”

Summary
It held all the hallmarks of a fairytale dream, but to Qifrey, a man who had abandoned all fantasies against the cruel waves that drowned the world, it was the make of ruin.
The Duke held his gaze in a way that made it impossible to deny the implausible: Olruggio of Ghodfrey intended for him.
"Lord Qifrey," the Duke said, and dropped to his knee with a confidence that spoke of no doubts. "Will you permit me the honour of your hand in marriage?"
When Qifrey receives an unexpected proposal from the most powerful stranger in the kingdom, he has no choice but to agree.
Or: a historical AU inspired by otome isekai manhwa, featuring Qifrey as wary bride and Olruggio as cold Duke of the North. Updates weekly.

Summary
中文簡介：
在罗马，自由的代价从来不是金币，而是有个人为了让你在光明中活下去，选择在黑暗中注销了自己。本文基于《刺客信条》宇宙创作的衍生小说，讲述了在 1500 年博吉亚家族统治下的罗马，传奇刺客埃齐奥·奥迪托雷 与原创角色塞拉菲娜·帕泰尔诺之间复杂的政治与情感纠葛。塞拉菲娜表面上是精于算计的教廷审计官，她以冰冷的商业逻辑救治重伤的埃齐奥，并透过精确的财务清算手段削弱腐败的博吉亚势力。故事围绕著信仰、情感与利益的博弈展开，展现了刺客兄弟会、圣殿骑士与博吉亚家族在罗马灰暗地带的权力角逐。
English Summary:
In the shadows of Rome, power could be stolen, faith could be broken, and alliances could be bought.
But the gravest mistake of all was this: Ezio Auditore fell in love with the one woman who would never belong to anyone.
"Salvation is the most expensive liability in the world, and I do not intend to pay." -

Summary
Kieran's a demon. There's some fine print on his contract but the term is close enough for casual conversation. He's the Hellhound of the Nine Rings, an enforcer for one of the major supernatural crime families in the city known as Saint Aurelia. He's not one for politics both mundane and supernatural, he just wants to keep his head down, do enough jobs to curry a little bit of favor, and maybe, some day, he'll be offered the chance to buy his own freedom.
What he doesn't count on is a stubborn cat, a cute oracle, and his own healing humanity getting in the way of that plan.

Summary
The Covenant has governed magic for eight hundred years on a simple principle: three Fundamentals, strictly licensed, permanently recorded. Fire is not a Fundamental. Fire is a cautionary tale.
You know this. You have always known this. You are a sensible Third Tier Wind practitioner with a study schedule and a sick cat and absolutely no reason to buy a book from a stall that isn't there anymore.
The fire spirit sealed inside it has been waiting eight hundred years. He is not particularly grateful to be free. He is not free, as it turns out, he is bound to you, specifically, by a pact neither of you agreed to, in a world that would call both of you treasonous if anyone found out.
Both wills must be made true before the pact dissolves. Neither of you knows what that means yet.

Summary
"I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then." — Lewis Carroll
She woke up in the Hyūga compound with a dead girl's memories, a body that flinches at shadows, and the growing suspicion that knowing the future is more curse than gift. Across the village, another girl woke up reaching for someone who wasn't there — and decided that if this world wanted to be dark and complicated, she'd bring the sarcasm and the senbon.
One chose poison and a sharp tongue. The other chose patience and a quiet fury that, once it finally surfaces, won't be quiet at all. A village full of good people and deep roots — some of which were never meant to see the light. A story they once knew, except now the pages bleed.

Ouroboros by tempora
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, The Princess Diaries (Movies), The Princess Diaries - Meg Cabot
02 May 2026
Tags
Summary
A dark political crossover of Harry Potter and The Princess Diaries, where crowns protect their own—until they cannot.
When a medical crisis forces the Prince of Genovia's daughter Mia Thermopolis into the public eye, she is thrust into royal protocol, wizarding politics, and the private war surrounding Voldemort’s return. Features Severus Snape as the Prince of Genovia (yes, it can be done. It's crack treated very seriously).
France wants Severus as an asset. The Malfoys want influence. And one personal scandal threatens to become a geopolitical crisis. Starts YA, turns darker after chapter 16...
Note: The Rating has now been updated to E, given the intimacy between Charity/Severus Chapters 19 onwards. This is still a political thriller, not a smut fic, but hey, I think all espionage stories should have some sexytimes. It's practically a rite of passage :P

Summary
Kyo Nakano no es un héroe de guerra, ni un Jedi, ni el Elegido de ninguna profecía. Es un simple piloto de carga... o al menos lo era, hasta que un salto hiperespacial fallido lo lanzó a una región aislada de la Galaxia con sus propias leyes, poderes extraños y un vacío lleno de cerezos.
Su salvación llegó envuelta en el caos de la nave Edens Zero.
Ahora, Kyo no solo debe sobrevivir a los peligros del Cosmos Sakura, sino a su nueva y extravagante "familia": un Rey Demonio con amistad agresiva, una B-Cuber obsesionada con las visitas, una médica sádica y un mecánico paranoico.
Por si fuera poco, su cuerpo ha despertado un Éter extraño. Pero mientras viajan por las estrellas, Kyo guarda en su bolsillo un secreto: unos viejos cilindros de códigos imperiales que conservaba como un simple "souvenir" de su graduación de prepa.
Esa baratija es la llave capaz de despertar a un gigante dormido: un Destructor Estelar Imperial
Una fortaleza que no viene a reemplazar al Edens Zero, sino a convertirse en la espada y el escudo que protegerá la nave en su viaje hacia Madre.
¿Es Kyo un náufrago con mala suerte? ¿O es la pieza de un rompecabezas que Madre comenzó a armar hace casi 30 años?

With the threat of Heaven always looming over them, and a King who has forgotten any sense of right or wrong, Alastor is playing a dangerous game. The only question is, will he be Lucifer's downfall, or will Lucifer be his?

He thought he saved the world.He thought he could undo everything.
Now, thrust back into a future where Aku somehow still reigns, Jack faces a world that remembers nothing. His old enemies live again. His allies are too far gone. And the Daughters of Aku, reborn into fates even crueler than before, are scattered across a world that worships their father, who appears to be actively making the world a better place.

One, the former timeless princess, is sadly, once again her father’s most loyal disciple.
One hides beneath wrathful storms that never fade.
One should be dead, but she isn't.
One gambled with the concept of empathy and lost her memories.
One pretends to destroy, but secretly rebuilds, hoping her efforts will not draw the watchful eye of her father.
One isolates herself in the frozen wilderness, her devotion to her father unwavering despite the crushing solitude.
Jack had fought Aku before.This, though?
This is something far worse.
