Summary
If land could smile, that's what would appear on the cracks of its surface. A smile, wide and deep enough to be climbed in. Wide and deep enough to be dropped in, as They await your fall from below.
Awaiting, and salivating at the chance to catch you once you fell into their domain. For food, yes. But for resources more so. For their plan people are needed.
And what is riper with living things than the fighting tournament, the fighting tournament calling the best and strongest from universes across the dimension.
Soul is strength, soul is food, and soul is what they take and twist as you fall.
So let's hope your favorite of the characters doesn't fall in.

Summary
In a AU of My hero academia, there are soulmates rules in this universe and starts as a prequel in my hero academia.
Michi, a gifted idol trainee in Naoki’s entertainment agency, lives her life between rehearsals, contracts, and the constant threat of losing everything she’s worked for. Her only goal is to help set the future for her and her soulmates
When tensions rise between U.A. and the agency, Michi’s chance at freedom narrows. Chas, her steadfast friend, promises to help her escape the company’s grip when her contract expires, but Michi isn’t sure she can hold out that long. The pressure follows her even into her dreams, where her music is the only thing strong enough to fight back against the shadows closing in.

Summary
Izuku and Katsuki had known each other once. Had you asked Izuku at the time, he would have told you that Kacchan was his absolute best friend in the entire world. He would have told you that Kacchan and him were going to stay together forever. That they'd move to Tokyo together like they always talked about on those days they'd spent at Izuku's desk doing their Middle School homework. That, once they were in Tokyo, they'd finally be carefree, Katsuki would be safe and Izuku wouldn't have to worry about him anymore.
Ask Izuku about him now and he'll tell you that Bakugou Katsuki died at the age of 13 and that he will no longer speak on the subject. He'll tell you to leave him alone. He'll tell you to fuck off.
-—
Or a story in which Bakugou Katsuki had abusive parents and ran away from home, leaving Izuku, oblivious until then, a single note that told him Katsuki didn't want to be found, but forgotten. Ever since then, Izuku has tried just that, to live his life and forget, but he hasn't yet figured out how. Eventually, he might have still worked it out, but then Katsuki and him meet again in a random bar in Tokyo with ten years in between the incident and present day. Now that truly throws him a curveball. -

Summary
Mike knows this Karen expression incredibly well, and what it means, with her eyes glinting, smiling with pursed lips, is that Karen was considering every outcome of a situation, carefully weighing each option- and she had found the best one.
Karen smiles and says, damningly, “Well, I’m sure Michael could do it.”

He just keeps giving Mike second chances, even when he doesn't deserve it.

Or, the one where Mike Wheeler and Will Byers are babysitting Nana Wheeler's house to get it ready for Christmas, and Mike realizes, somewhere in cold rural Indiana, just how in love he might be.

Summary

How long has it been since me and Chi got in a fight? It's been a while now, I can't really pinpoint when.

Summary
We all know the countless “What if Taylor Swift’s albums were persons?” posts, but what if they actually were? This is my take on creating 10 OCs based on Taylor’s different albums.
When a contest for singing and songwriting is announced at their school, it is obvious that they all are going to participate.
And the prize that each of the three jury-selected winners will get, might just be the best thing ever: Two tickets to see THE most popular singer right now. (No spoilers here, but if you read the first few chapters, you’ll know who it is.)
Strangely enough, the contest only brings the girls closer together, as they all write and scheme, hoping to be one of the lucky winners.
New friendships are made, old ones tested, and there might also be the start of a beautiful romance sparking between two of them.
Of course, misunderstandings, jealousy and drama are bound to happen along the way, too. But will the girls be able to put their differences aside and stick together in the end?!! This is just a fic that I'm writing for fun, please don't take anything too serious !!
PS: Basically everything here is a Taylor Swift reference ;)
Instagram acc for this fic is @starsaroundourscars

Summary
In Gotham, even miracles come with side effects.
Damian Wayne does not need friends. He does not do charity work.
But when Alfred drags him to volunteer at Dr. Thompkins’ second clinic in the Narrows, he meets a doctor whose kindness cuts too deep, and carries too heavy a price to pay.
In a city built on rot and secrets, even healing can spread like infection.

Summary
It was supposed to be a casual patrol between him and Sandstorm. One where they could catch prey to show off to their (few) friends. That was all it was supposed to be.
Instead, Tigerclaw made his move far earlier, and in a far different manner than Fireheart could have ever expected. He and Sandstorm are thrust back in time 255 Million years. An amount of time so vast neither could comprehend it if they tried. They must try and get back home while the world itself, in the warm-up phase of extinction, makes every attempt possible to kill them. Not every promise can be kept, and the longer they spend, the more mysterious their situation becomes.

Summary
The idea of his baby brother walking away from the Estate with the confidence of a Pillar made his stomach twist into painful knots. A demon slayer was already a prime target for demons - a feast for those around them. But a Hashira was different - they were targets for the Upper Ranks and the most dangerous enemy for someone like Kibutsuji. The most ferocious, determined warriors that were forever labeled the strongest of the Corps.
Something he knew very well that Genya was not.

Summary
This follows the second game of Mass Effect and continues where Class.i.fied left off
No longer on the run from her own species, former Operative Erinyes, finds herself trapped on her home planet. Unable to leave, and unable to send or receive transmissions when the Vextra sealed the planet, Erinyes finds herself in her own personal hell away from Garrus. The planet was sealed when she told the Overseers that the Reapers will be arriving soon after she helped defeat Sovereign.
Erinyes must now find a way to get off her home world and back to Garrus. She also needs to get the Reaper weapon schematics back from her abuser, and get the weapons into production. Most importantly she has to convince the Overseers to join the Reaper war of this cycle instead of hide.
A tall order from someone the Overseers see as an object and below them
Garrus exhausts his way through every possible thing he could think of to get her off world, whereas Erinyes decides to show the Overseers what the human phrase 'Fuck around and find out' means. Opting to make their lives as miserable as they made hers.
How will she get off world?
What happens when they finally find each other again? -

Summary
“Should we show the newbie the instructions?” Yumi suddenly asked, looking at the newbie in question.
“Hell yeah, turn them lights off!” Kryoz yelled excitedly, standing up and grabbing Smii7y’s arm to push him down into the chair he previously sat in.
Smii7y was startled, body tensing as the chair was rolled to in front of the tv.
“You’re unpredictable.” Smii7y chuckled anxiously, looking up at Kryoz.
“Don’t let em’ know your next move.” Kryoz simply winked back at him.
Yumi found the light switch and flicked it down, making all lights within the ship shutoff except for the illumination from the tv, monitors, and the terminal.
“Fuck yes!” Kryoz cheered, leaning over Smii7y comfortably as if it were normal. “I’m ready for movie night, baby!”
“You’ve watched this so many times already…” Eli muttered, his eyes squinting at the man.
“And yet my boredom is never satiated.” Kryoz sassed, sticking his tongue out at the man.
