Summary
Roy hadn’t seen him the last time he was in London, eyes full of fear as his bad decisions caught up with him and kept him from returning to football. She told him to talk to Ted, thinking Ted would happily agree to sign him back to the squad. Why wouldn’t he? Richmond still hadn’t won a match, Rebecca was getting increasingly irritated with all the draws, and they were in a slump that Jamie Tartt could definitely pull them out of. She didn’t know if Jamie actually spoke with Ted, but Ted never mentioned seeing him, and Jamie never showed up at Nelson Road. She tried to ring him once to find out if he was okay. It rang and rang and eventually went to voicemail. She left him a message that was never returned.
That wasn’t like Jamie.

Summary
We all break. It’s a part of being human, as much as breathing is. So we put ourselves back together as best as we can and learn to live with the cracks and scratches that life brings us. When we break totally, we need someone else's help. But what happens when there’s nobody willing to heal you?
Draco Malfoy has never really had an easy life. Self-harm, nightmares, and panic attacks have been a part of his routine since he was young. After the war, though, he's locked in Azkaban. Tortured by his personal guard and the Dementors alike, he's slowly losing his strength to fight back.
Harry Potter has also been facing issues since the war ended. Although he's famous, the guilt and nightmares eat at him constantly. He knows Malfoy shouldn't be in Azkaban, but there's nothing he can do to stop it. Until eighth years are invited back to Hogwarts.
The two boys have more in common than either of them realize, but old habits of hatred and jealousy, combined with a burning desire to be self-sufficient, die hard. During their eighth year at Hogwarts, secrets will come out, secrets that may drastically change everyone’s views on what forgiveness can really mean.

The Crow & The Wraith by DarkStuffHappens
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
04 Sep 2023
Tags
Summary
Inej Ghafa escaped the slavers who kidnapped her and fought her way up through the Ketterdam gangs to become the Wraith, the feared leader of the Dregs. Kaz Brekker was not so lucky and has been the Kerch crow at Tante Heleen's Menagerie for the last five years. When a spot of pickpocketing leads to a chance meeting, Inej realizes she could have found the crew member she's needed all along. She just needs to get Kaz out of his indenture and Tante Heleen won't let him go without a fight. To make matters even tougher, Kaz won't leave behind the other Kerch crow at the Menagerie - Wylan Van Eck.
I was inspired by both 'Fool Me Twice' by Corantien and 'We are not mountains' by flourescent_adolescent both of which are AU - Character Swaps of Inej and Kaz and are so damn good. Got me thinking there's not enough of these on here, so I wrote my own.
FYI - Inej still defies the laws of physics and gravity and Kaz still has the limp. Kaz has a slight touch aversion but Tante Heleen has almost successfully beaten it out of him now and it's more to do with just not having a choice in who touches him. Also I really wanted to add more Wylan whump to my other SOC fic and there just wasn't the space, but there is now!

Summary
"This is a very simple experiment, bard." Cold blue eyes met Jaskier's. "The Witcher over there? He's dying. There's only one thing that can save him at this point."
Jaskier glanced towards Geralt apprehensively; his head lolled back. If he was conscious, he gave no sign of it.
"I want you to bond him."
Jaskier jerked, staring at the man in horror. "No."
Soul-bonding was intimate, a moment reserved in private between two people who had decided to share every joy and every sorrow. They would feel each other's pain, know if the other was on the brink of death. It was a bond that could only be forged with good intention, with the purest motive. There was no way to undo it. Bonding Geralt would mean surrendering half his soul to the Witcher, to experiencing every pain, and every woe. But worse than that. Witchers didn't have souls. Jaskier would be throwing away the greatest connection he could ever experience, for a man who would never be able to return it. Jaskier was romantic enough to admit that he wanted a romance of the ages, and a bond of certainty.
Not this.
"Let me make this easier for you: bond him, or I'll kill you."

When someone breaks into STAR Labs and steals an important component of the particle accelerator, Team Flash can't exactly go to the CCPD and report a robbery.

Summary
Joe West never adopted Barry Allen. In the wake of his mother's murder and his father's incarceration, Barry is bounced between orphanages and foster homes, the child of an imperfect system.
Fast-forward fifteen years, to a future where Barry was never struck by lightning, never became the Flash. He works as a forensic analyst for the police and volunteers his spare time to the Wishing Well Foundation, granting wishes to children with life-threatening conditions. It's a pretty straight forward life, really.
... or it was, until a little girl named Anna is asked to make a wish. Her response? "I want to meet Captain Cold."

“’Cause I love you,” says Barry beside him, his teeth gleaming as he grins. He tries to kiss Len again—god, the seventh time?)

Summary
Life on the streets was difficult, especially for a young Omega wolf. Barry often cursed fate, and his own stupid decisions, for landing him there. He’d stopped expecting kindness from people, about the same time he stopped expecting to be able to eat and shower every day. But then an Alpha and a Beta pair started showing him nothing but kindness. If only he could let himself trust them. Maybe he ought to give fate, and himself, a bit more credit.
