Summary
As black spots enter his vision, he can’t help but feel like all the other shit in his life has led up to this moment. From the day he turned four— no, from the day he was born— he was a person waiting to die. That’s what everyone has been beating into him, isn’t it? That death would be a welcome mercy for someone like him. And no matter how badly he wanted it to change, now he knows it never would. Because, right now, Izuku Midoriya was choking, suffocating, dying.
-OR
The day of the sludge villain incident two things happen to Izuku Midoriya. One, his dreams are crushed for the last time, forcing him to find a new goal for his life. Two, he force-manifests a quirk, but he thinks it's a shitty one, like some god playing a cruel joke in what were supposed to be his final moments.

Bookmarker's Notes
Possibly abandoned but what is there is incredible enough to reread, Izuku’s quirk (seeing and manipulating the remaining life force of himself and others) is really cool and creative and his relationship with Hitoshi is incredibly well developed

Summary
Harry Potter is unraveling.
He’s quieter now; more withdrawn, more tired. Between dreams haunted by Tom Riddle, growing isolation, and scars that never truly healed, Harry turns to the only thing that gives him control: art. But even sketching can’t keep the darkness at bay forever. The whispers never stop. The dreams grow darker. And his magic—wild, powerful, and unrefined—starts slipping through the cracks in ways even he can’t control.
Once again, Harry finds himself placed under the reluctant care of Professor Severus Snape for more Occlumency lessons and supervision. Neither of them is prepared for what follows.
Snape expects arrogance. Harry expects cruelty. What they find instead are pieces: of truth, of memory, of each other. As the boundaries between student and professor shift, long-buried trauma surfaces, secrets unravel, and the Horcrux inside Harry begins to take a toll neither of them expected.
Title changed from: someday i'm gonna be somebody people want (June 23, 2025)

Summary
Horror strikes him down where he stands, then. He sways, stumbles to put his back to the living room wall. Harry is woozy in disbelief, watching the two words slashed into his chest in livid red just like the scar on his forehead. ‘AVADA KEDAVRA.’
He knows those words, the first he can remember, his earliest memory. It feels like he hasn’t breathed in minutes. When he comes back to the moment, he finds that perhaps he hasn’t. Harry gasps for air like a fish does for water, and doesn’t find it. His back has slid down the wall somehow and his hands grip his head, hair clenched in fists.
Then he realizes he’s actually panting, a ringing in his ears, blocking out whatever it is people are saying to him. Hermione crouches in front of him where he can’t possibly miss her, palms settling gently on his knees.
“Harry,” she’s saying. “Harry, it’s going to be alright.”
How?
How can it ever possibly be alright again?
