The Last of Me - The Story of Elizabeth "Ellie" Williams by thewolfwilliams

Summary
Ellie thought she had left everything behind—her guilt, her ghosts, her reason for surviving.
But when a message arrives from a forgotten corner of the Fireflies, she's pulled into something quiet, slow, and strange. A place where no one asks her to be a hero. A place where old names still echo, and where silence says more than words.
While scientists talk of immunity and research, Ellie searches for something else: stillness, purpose, maybe even forgiveness.
She's not sure what she’ll find.
But someone asked for her by name.
And the camera she now carries once belonged to the woman who gave her life. -

Summary
Lieutenant Ren was forged into a weapon by years of impossible assignments, deep Hollow deployments, and a command structure that valued utility over humanity. Transferred to the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team after burnout renders him “unsuitable” for solo operations, he expects only another posting, another order, another room to stand quietly in.
Instead, he finds Captain Zhu Yuan.
In a precinct full of noise, laughter, and people who still treat one another like human beings, Ren begins the slow and painful process of learning that survival is not the same thing as living—and that kindness may be more dangerous than any Hollow.
A slow-burn character story about duty, trauma recovery, belonging, and love in New Eridu.

Not one of his chickens had gone missing all week. He had no complaints against her.

Summary
Eddie cannot tell you why, except that sometimes his body makes a choice before his brain has caught up. He is at the third teller window before he has even examined the move, and then he looks up and sees her.
He gets a handful of seconds where she does not know she is being watched.
Something in him goes tight.
Not the clean, useful kind of attention he brings into rooms. Not the quiet click of recognition he has learned to trust. This is different. This is his mind, uninvited, throwing a rope around her and yanking.
Her in a white dress in low light, simple and close, small crowd, his hand finding hers like it has always known where to go.
Her laughter against his throat in the dark.
A kitchen table. Two mugs. Her bare feet hooked around his ankle under the chair.
Her asleep against his side, his arm heavy over her ribs like a promise.
Then it is gone.
Less than a second. No time at all. He is still standing in Hawkins First National at 9:47 a.m. on a Wednesday in October, and she still has not looked up.

Eddie, Billy and Jonathan have run 3 successful heists, Hawkins First National is just another job on the list. Until it isn't. -

Summary
Astarion thought he was manipulating Tav with his clever seduction game. He's certain he's never made a bigger miscalculation when he finds himself interred at the House of Hope.
Gale and Wyll thought they knew Tav. Their judgment of character was severely lacking. It's not fondness for the vampire that sends them questing to find him at peril of their own lives. More like... moral loose ends.

Summary
Emma Nolan has spent years working toward her dream of becoming a nurse, but a traumatic first day on the job leaves her shaken and questioning everything she thought she wanted.
The last person she expects to get tangled up with is Dr. Brendon Park—known around the hospital as “Park the Shark.” Their first meeting is a disaster, and Emma is determined to keep her distance. While Park’s bluntness unsettles her, it’s his quiet attentiveness that confuses her even more. The way he notices what others miss, and the way he pushes without ever quite crossing a line.
Dr. Park doesn’t do attachments. He doesn’t do patience. And he definitely doesn’t do anxious, stubborn nurses who challenge him at every turn. But when circumstances keep forcing them together, irritation gives way to something far more complicated. The more he learns about Emma, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull he feels toward her.
What grows between them is quiet, fragile, and dangerously easy to deny—until distance starts to feel wrong, and silence starts to mean something more.

Bound by violence, magic, and a road that refuses to let them rest, they travel forward — through dragons, old wounds, and choices that hurt just as much as staying still.

Summary
“His life had always orbited Oscar’s, like the smaller moon that never quite got far enough away to be anything else. Now, he could feel the orbit tightening. Gravity pulling them both toward the same center. He reached the Lexus, curled his fingers into the edge of the tarp, and took a breath. This was the line. He crossed it.”
Nico moves between worlds that should never touch. Private school uniforms and strip mall parking lots. Fluorescent classrooms and salvage yards. The fragile promise of escape and the older, fiercer pull of survival. At Woodlawn Preparatory Academy, there are quizzes and scholarship expectations and the slow, bewildering possibility of being seen. In Oscar’s orbit, there’s loyalty, danger, and the kind of love that has teeth in it.
When one world begins to bleed into the other, Nico finds himself caught between the life he’s always known and one he doesn’t know how to want.

Summary
Tony managed to win the fight in Siberia, leading to the detainment of the rogue Avengers and, much more importantly, Bucky Barnes. In Tony's own words, the Winter Soldier's extensive, international, very politically charged crimes and refusal to turn himself in have landed him permanently in the hot seat. And, of course, Tony has his own feelings about how Bucky should be dealt with.
“You were looking at a very unhappy ending with an undetermined amount of unhappy times in between now and then. Instead, your rights have been signed over to me. I’m your legal guardian and power of attorney. I decide everything that does or doesn’t happen to you from now on."
It sounds like the opening to a villain origin story, but Tony has some interesting ideas on how to best deal with the man who murdered his parents, and it might wind up doing more for Bucky than living on the run with Steve ever could have. Now, that doesn't mean Bucky is going to necessarily like it... but whether Bucky likes it doesn't really matter anymore.
“I own you, Barnes. ‘Til death do us part.”
