Summary
The first time Hashirama sees the Hiraishin in action, he hardly knows what it means, let alone what it is. Tobirama tries to explain, but all Hashirama knows is that his brother is there one moment and gone the next, more elusive than the smell of petrichor during Fire Country's summer season. Still, Hashirama is nothing but resilient like the trees he so easily bends to his will, and there is something important in the little kunai and its seal.
Or, a snapshot of Hashirama and Tobirama's relationship through the creation and founding of Konohagakure told by the Hiraishin.

Lovely AU in which things went (mostly) well. Which I feel we all need more of in our daily lives.

Summary
Yuzu drowns in these thoughts all day, and all night, she thinks, because those words are printed across her eyelids before she even opens them, it feels like. They are always there. The last Kurosaki. The words haunt her. She is always there, and now she’s the only one here, the only Kurosaki, the last Kurosaki, and she can’t stop thinking about it.
One by one, the Kurosakis leave behind their lives in the human realm. Yuzu is the last one to cross over.

Summary
“This wouldn’t be a problem if you accepted my friend request.” Yuuji pouts.
“Yuuji-kun,” Gojou says, tone all infinite patience. “How could I know that the random teenage boy trying to friend me on social media was my time-traveling student?”
Yuuji rolls his eyes. “Because you’re Gojou-sensei.”
It’s hard not to be a little charmed.
OR: yuuji travels back in time. he’s not especially good at it, depending who you ask.

Summary
The year is 3057.
In a time when the rich and powerful can buy their replacement body in an effort to live forever, Itadori Yuuji is born for one purpose and one purpose only; to be the next body to hold the mind of an affluent citizen. His own mind, left to fade away into obscurity, as if it never were.
He’s not aware of this fact.
It’s not like anyone tells him that he’s being raised like a pig for slaughter and he doesn’t see the butcher’s block in plain view until it’s too late.
-Or: the epic sci-fi dystopian drama where Yuuji falls in love with a man who doesn't have his best interests in mind.

"You'll change your mind one day," says the innkeep. "The road can't love you back."
What a strange way to flatten something so beautiful, Jaskier thinks. What a small way to love.
Or: When Jaskier is hit with a curse that prevents him from having sex, he's lucky that the first person he meets is a Witcher. It's even luckier that Jaskier is used to hitting the road, because Geralt isn't waiting up.

Summary
Steve lives in Stark Tower and doesn't have much to do when he's not going after Hydra strongholds. He attends charity events to make Pepper happy. He goes hiking with Sam. He hangs out with Clint in Bed-Stuy and watches Dog Cops. Sometimes Tony gives him super alcohol in a sippy cup. Sometimes he sees Bucky out of the corner of his eye and wonders if it's real or if he's starting to lose his mind.
Alternately, the one with terrible jokes, a foot chase through the Lower East Side, and a tiny little robot named Shitcan.

Every time I think I've found the end of the Avengers' fandom, I find another pearl. Adult, clever, unapologetically ironic and with a truly interesting take on a lot of characters.

Do you know what I especially love about fandom? The way I can keep being disappointed by what happens in actual canon, but I'm still able to read and enjoy wonderful things being written all around by true, bright, wonderful fans.
Well-written, interesting and original, a short piece about alternative universes, shotguns and mothers being shoved down the Trousers of Time. -

Hook should, perhaps, have died in England and awoken in Hell. Instead, he died in Neverland and awoke in the trenches of 1916 France.
While trying to aid the boys of England, Wendy Darling found herself confronted with a man who had lost his right hand, his past, and his ability to dream.
