Summary
He chafes, a bit, in the compound.
He and Bill have their own reckoning after they arrive, a bit of feeling each other out. Frank and Tess are fast friends, and he and Bill have a grudging respect, but he knows he’s at a disadvantage here, with the favor he’s asking. It’s a very different thing, asking to trade versus asking to stay, but he knows that the compound is the safest possible place.
It scratches at him, needing a favor to keep Ellie safe, being unable to provide it on his own.
But that’s another thing about parenting he hadn’t quite remembered: you’ll do crazy things for your kid.
(little snippet of joel's pov from time in the compound in my half-step verse)

Summary
It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.
And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.
There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.
So, trailing them at a distance it is.
(AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

Summary
He knows from the moment he sees Joel helping the girl down from the horse she’s on that something’s up. There’s an ease to the movement that says he almost certainly helped her up on the horse as well, and the way she moves with absolute trust that he won’t let her fall says there’s a bond there that’s had time to develop.
The girl sticks close to Joel’s side, eyes wary, as he guides her back over.
“This is Ellie,” Joel says before turning to her. “This is my brother, T-”
“Tommy, yeah. I heard. Not all of us have shit ears, grandpa.”
He blinks at the comment, but Joel doesn’t seem offended, even as he rolls his eyes.
This is his second hint.
(Ellie and Joel from Tommy's POV, ft. some jelly Ellie, Ellie whump, and family bonding)

Summary
Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.
Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.
(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).
COMPLETE.

Temari spends a month on an adventure more appropriate for Naruto than her. It starts with being sent to an alternate dimension where her husband's twin sister didn't die as a baby and ends with admitting she might actually care for her brothers. (It feels terribly unnatural.)

Summary
His arms had been a warm presence around her waist, his gaze level with hers as he double checked to make sure she was alright while simultaneously ignoring the shit out of a still-fuming Gray and it'd probably been in that moment that Lucy noticed.
Natsu had grown insanely protective of her, to the point where it must have become almost instinctual to him.
And to be perfectly honest, Lucy didn't know what to think of it.
Nor did she know what to make of the insistent beating of her heart whenever she caught him in the act.

Summary
“Yes,” All for One agreed. “This will be the final resting place of All Might.”
“You,” Midoriya Izuku said and paused, thinking over the words. He sounded taken aback. “You want me to help fight All Might.”
“Of course,” All for One nodded along. “I can offer you double of whatever my counterpart is paying you currently, along with anything your little heart could desire. Of course, you would get to help out drastically—"
“Did you happen to check what world you were pulling me out of when you did this?” Midoriya Izuku interrupted and it was said in such an incredulous tone that had the situation not been as critical as it was, All Might would have laughed.
Also known as: number one hero Deku has been through a lot of things, but being thrust into an alternate reality where he’s All for One’s Successor is a first. He has to navigate this world when his alternate self is a villain who's dead-set on killing him and this version of class 1-A. All the while, his friends search desperately for a way to get him back.

"What's this really about, Natsu?"
"Levy, how do you feel about babies?" he blurts, carefully creating a pile of grass on his knee.
"Babies? Like, in general, or actually having one?"
"Both, I guess?"
He glances at her out of the corner of his eye to see her thinking about it.
"I've never thought about it. Gajeel and I haven't really talked about them, but I don't think I would mind having one."
"Anyway!" she suddenly says, punching his arm lightly, "Shouldn't you be talking to Lucy about babies if you want one?""Levy, you're gonna have a baby."

Summary
The League of Villains consisted of some of the most dangerous individuals in their society. From decaying an entire city, to immolating the tallest of towers or to sneak in anywhere as anyone...but they are still constrained by human limits which brings their downfall when they bite off more than they can chew.
My take on the war arc and my frustration with the League of Villains as antagonists.

He shook his head, “Bakugou banish the idea that you are a hard worker – you are not. You only work when it is easy and there is no challenge. The minute you are presented with something you can’t blow away – you either brute force it or avoid it all together. You will not grow if you keep this attitude up”

A tale of Bakugou being dragged back down to Earth, as his ego and pride are put through the wringer. Will Katsuki learn to accept the reality of his situation or will he continue to tackle everything with the same bullheadedness he always has?

Summary
From her own perspective Lucy has things figured out and is managing to pass as at least somewhat normal. A hard job when one considers the trauma of watching everyone you know and love get slaughtered then traveling through time in order to stop that. But she's doing great! And they've even managed to save some people that she failed in her first go round.
Too bad this isn't her point of view.
And to bad that she's lost in time and magic for the next seven years and can't fix anyone's misconceptions.
This is what the world sees.

Summary
Once Layla Heartfilia told her child a story of the Stars and how it was their duty to follow their guidance. She didn't plan for that guidance to spell her child's doom.
There was blood on Lucy's hands.
Fairy Tail, Blue Pegasus, Sabertooth, Lamia Scale. All of the Guilds of Fiore, the Rune Knights, Princess Hisui, the Council. They stumbled.
They fell.
They Failed.
And when all that remained was a desperate hope to turn back the clock itself Lucy opened the Eclipse Gate. She turned away from the loss and the bloodshed and the screaming and she cast her hopes into the Stars themselves. She would do it all again. Every bruise, every tear, every heart break. She would do it all again, just for the chance of victory.
Acnologia victorious?
No.
Fairy Tail, unbroken and unbent.
She would not fail again.

Upd. 20.06.25: I see that there are people who are interested in seeing the continuation of the story, but I have lost some interest in the original idea. I am going to redo the work and start it again from scratch, but the original three chapters will remain intact, and I will simply mark them as [OLD]. I hope you understand! love you!

Summary
Being told by his idol that he can be a hero was the greatest thing that had ever happened in Midoriya Izuku’s life. In fact, it was so incredible and amazing that it compelled him to do something that he had been taught from an early age to NEVER do. He asked his teacher a question.
Or: Izuku decides to ask Toshinori to teach him how to use One For All while he’s cleaning up the beach. This prompts Toshinori to realize that he actually can’t really do that. So he reluctantly calls Gran Torino and gets him to help train and supervise Izuku’s ten month American Dream Plan for entering UA.
