Summary
Midoriya Izumi won’t speak. But, it doesn’t mean she can’t take control of the situations around her. She decides that the best lie is the one that skitters on the truth, and if she’s going to survive high school with Bakagou even being near her, she needs to have some sort of peace at school. So first day of class, before everything begins, she goes to her home-room teacher and quickly writes out on her tablet, “I was technically quirkless until a year ago, so please be nice when I can’t control my quirk. Also, as my paperwork states, I don’t really speak… If someone named Bakagou is in this class, please keep him away from me.”
This first interaction changes everything.
Or, Izumi want’s nothing to do with her childhood bully, Bakagou is losing his shit as usual, and Izumi accidentally triggers a willful custody battle between the man who gave her a chance, to the man that would have given her self-worth regardless.

Warring Heart by MoonWitch96

Summary
People forget that if you asked the people of ancient Sparta, Aphrodite was a goddess of war, that she was connected to the ocean and war and blood and along with beauty and love. Of her several epitaphs, she had been the Dark One, that it was her son Eros who sowed chaos at her whim and at her feet, and that the gods feared love as much as they craved it. That another of her names was Ishtar, as surely as it was also Venus, goddess of war and beauty and love and defier of death.
When the daughter of Aphrodite, touched by Death, looks across the face of lost Percy Jackson, she certainly remembers all about her godly parent, because she had been a mythology scholar in her first life, and she hears the call of war as she looks into sea-green eyes.
Or Sena Strand is much like her mother, and when something is her’s, she plays for keeps.

A Different Fate by Khizeta

30 Mar 2021
Tags
Summary
He stood for a moment among the dying flames, glowing crimson wings spread wide, a gentle smile on his face, and his intense molten gold eyes focused on Izuku. The sight took Izuku’s breath away. This was a hero, a true hero. He wasn’t just smart and strong. He was kind . He was compassionate . He was real . This is what Izuku wanted to be. All Might’s smile had always seemed the best and brightest. It had always brought Izuku comfort, but compared to Hawks, it seemed cold and fake. All Might said Izuku couldn’t be a hero, but... Hawks said All Might was wrong. Maybe Izuku couldn’t be a hero like All Might… but, he realized suddenly, he didn’t want to be like All Might anymore.
~or~
When All Might leaves Izuku Midoriya on that rooftop, Izuku spends a little longer standing there and thinking about his future. That changes everything.

Summary
The Forest is a vigilante who has taken the hero scene by storm for the past five years. No one knows anything about them, not for lack of trying. Speculation says they have some kind of spying quirk or something else ideal for their nightly activities, but no one knows for sure.
Shoto is two years out of U.A. and not exactly looking for the vigilante even though his patrol frequently takes him through their usual territory. What he does manage to find is a whole lot of trouble.

Summary
She wakes with a of ghastly yellow chiffon curtain above her, with horrendous and large bedazzled flowers winking down in the faint light.
…
She looks in the mirror above a vanity that looks more like a desk, and Nicola Coughlan’s gorgeous face looks back at her. Pale and drawn face, red curls disheveled. Gauze wrapped around her head. She blinks. Once, twice at the pretty image. Moves her hand, and yes, Nicola’s hand moves with her. She touches at the gauze and has to wince at the pain in her head.
Or a very confused blogger extraordinaire wakes up as Penelope Featherington before the start of season one. Of course, in the nature of izekai, the story does not stay as it should.

"Oh no," thinks Feemor, "a fellow Jedi in distress!"
"Ouch," thinks Mand'alor Jaster Mereel.
In which Nerd Jaster's love for larping brings on a case of serious mistaken identity and he gets spirited away to the Jedi Temple.
Not that he is complaining, he's getting free access to the Archives (score!), copious amounts of ade (double score!!) and highly engaging discourse with fellow history-enthusiasts (triple score!!!)

Summary
“Shijie… the way you said “Yunmeng Jiang takes care of Yunmeng Jiang” was…” Jiang Shang began.
“Was what?” Liu Biao sounded like she was scowling. “Spit it out.”
“I always understood that phrase to mean we protect and help each other. Regardless of status. Servants, Civilians, Cultivators - Yunmeng Jiang takes care of Yunmeng Jiang.”
“It does mean that.”
“But you said it more like… Yunmeng Jiang couldn't trust anyone else to take care of Yunmeng Jiang.”
Liu Biao sighed. “It means that, too.”
Sizhui froze at the words. Jingyi paused next to him, frowning.

Summary
"Truth was, Jiang Cheng would rather face a thousand battles than one humiliating moment of disapproval if he knew he was in the wrong. Right now he was wrong in so many directions, he was trapped like a fly in the spider’s web of his own pride. And so, true to form, he churned inwardly… and did nothing. But he did nothing with a lot of energy and frustration."
Jiang Cheng pisses off the cultivating world when he writes a treatise on exactly what went wrong in the Sunshot Campaign.

Summary
“Wake up. You need to wake up.”
Just above her, lit by the gentle light of dawn was perhaps the most handsome man she had ever seen. His features were sharp and regal, his eyes dark, and he regarded her with concern and wariness.
“While I can hardly protest waking to such a handsome face, who are you?”
>>>>
When her brother Meng Yao is kicked down the Golden Carp Tower steps, Meng Yijun believes him dead and runs away from Yunping City.
Immortal Baoshan Sanren takes her in.
Years later, Yijun returns to the cultivation world to discover she’s missed a war, her brother is still alive, and the Jiang Clan Leader is incredibly attractive.
::: I know Jiang Cheng x Original Character isn't a popular pairing, but give it a shot? I hope you like it!

Cultivate: Slow Life on a Monster-Infested Mountain by NeonGhostCat

Summary
When trying to transfer Shen Yuan from the real world to Proud Immortal Demon Way, the System runs into an error. The transfer is not complete.
Shen Yuan is dropped off at the foot of a mountain aware of two things: he's in the story, and the Shen Qingqiu of this world is not only aware but thinks he tried to possess his body — and he's PISSED. Shen Yuan tries to opt out and live a simple life on what locals tell him is a monster-infested mountain no one in their right mind would bother with.
Sounds like a great hiding spot!

Summary
In a world obsessed with killing and dying, Seiko is mostly concerned with chasing off her boredom. The Academy wasn’t exactly intellectually stimulating, but dying in the second shinobi war sounded like a long walk off a short pier. Everyone is always so stressed about avoiding attention, or min-maxing skills in situations like this.
Seiko is of the opinion that those people need to chill the hell out. Maybe play a little shogi. Death comes for them all anyways. Better to enjoy this all while it lasts.

Summary
Higurashi Kagome grew up in the future, in the easiest time for Omegas to be themselves. Just because she has to travel to the past all the time to help save the world does not mean she's going to try and fit in with the Omegas of the Sengoku Jidai. And she certainly won't stand for anyone's attitude on the matter.
How Sesshomaru ended up being the one person not bothered at all by her nature was a most unexpected surprise.
