Summary
Magic is a powerful tool that anyone with enough dedication and knowledge would be able to make a spell for every need. However, if you were unlucky enough to be born without magic you'd be sold off to whoever did, making sure that the strong stayed on top and the powerless would be put to use in whatever their master wanted. Ezra was uneasy at the thought of being property, but having lost his magic out of the blue he had no choice but to accept that he'd be at the mercy of his new owner.

Summary
At the Ah-Doong Military Arts Academy, there are only three rules:
Train for Mastery,
No combat after curfew,
and Might makes Right.
It's a rough, inmates-running-the-asylum type of college where the next generation of martial artists and practitioners of combat arts are molded and shaped. Where you live and lose by your ability and your connection to your Dojo.
For Sylvie In'Gun, heir to her family's small-time Dojo, she must rely on her own fighting spirit to endure and excel at Ah-Doong. So when her girlfriend is taken away by a larger rival Dojo with its leader's sights set on bringing her down, she'll have to fight her way through it to get her back... if she can make it in time. For there is much going on behind the scenes of every fight at Ah-Doong, and to lose badly enough is to submit to whatever fate the winner wishes upon the loser.
Dubcon themes, betrayal and forced relationships, mind-altering drugs and deep angst in this one.

Haruno Sakura knows Death before she knows anything else. Knowing doesn’t prepare her for Team 7.
Unlike what everyone seems to believe, it does not start with seeing dead people. That, actually doesn’t come until much, much later.- Language:

Summary
Hermione means to argue, but she runs out of speed. Finds herself watching grey eyes and features concealed by black fabric. Three months apart, and she missed him like crazy at first, but it passed. She’d had her parents and Luna, Ginny and Harry, and the loneliness was mostly whispering to her late in the evening when the world was empty and silent. Then she got used to sleeping alone again. Buried the lose threads of conversations they never got to finish.
And now he’s here, and Hermione expected that it would be a little weird at first. She didn’t expect all the moments she hasn’t missed him in the last months to hit her over the head now. Like a box in her mind spilling open, filling her chest and falling out of her mouth.

Summary
When you’ve had too much for too long you don’t travel to go somewhere, you travel to leave something behind. You go away to see something new, to get a break, and to be alone. Sometimes it’s a choice you make, sometimes it’s a choice made for you, and maybe in the end it doesn’t matter.
Hermione Granger has done three months of her one year on a dairy farm the first time she comes across the worker from the farm next door. He runs on light feet across the mountainside, silver hair surprisingly upright in the wind, and she decides to go and introduce herself. Sometimes it’s the people you meet while looking for isolation that makes all the difference.
Or: Kakashi and Hermione both has issues, and really needs a hug and someone to talk to. Only things aren't always that easy, are they?

Summary
Take a quiet, introverted Sakura with a scientifically minded brain, and a penchant for perfectionism, and throw her onto team 7.
A story of a what-could-have-been, but not necessarily a fix-it.
OR
Sasuke was the rookie-of-the-year, hailed as a genius. But... If more people knew that Sakura had near-perfect chakra control and the brains to put it to use (which she does to Kakashi's fascination and horror), she would be hailed as a prodigy.

Summary
“Team 8 will be Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Hyuuga Hinata. Team 10…”
Sakura tries to keep a grimace off her face. Just because Sakura’s the top of the class doesn’t mean she deserves to be saddled with Uchiha Sasuke. She glances at Ino, who winces when she couldn’t. “Bad luck, Forehead. But you never know, maybe Sasuke’s secretly… very secretly… a normal person under all the FIGHT ME RARGH. And the demon thing. And the, you know.”
“Even if she were the most normal person on earth, I think the Hokage’s Eye might be on my team now.”
Ino blanches. “You’re right. I’ll bring a beautiful bouquet to your funeral.”

Summary
“A time traveller, are you? I rather think I will keep you." He strokes her cheek, and she bites down on a whimper. She is tired now. Exhausted. “There is a kind of winsome audacity about you, isn't there? And you are as brave as a fool.” He shakes his head. “It’s quite interesting. And sometimes, I get bored.” A smile. Too wide, too many teeth. There are no borders drawn in his gaze, no cartography at all. “This will be tremendous fun.”

Summary
In 1965, Voldemort became Minister for Magic. In 1968, the leadership of the Order of the Phoenix was destroyed, the remnants of the terrorist organisation driven underground. By 1970, all was well in Great Britain.
The year is 1984. Sirius Black has just turned 25. He's rich, he's powerful, and most importantly--he's bored.
But all of that is about to change.

Summary
Here's the deal: Buffy's got no idea how to beat Glory, or how they're gonna book it across the country in a moldy RV without anyone killing each other, especially now that someone broke one of the beds—and the thought of going home again kinda makes her wanna cry.
The one thing she knows is that Spike would follow her anywhere, even like this.

Summary
Haruno Sakura. Her. A paranoid, pessimistic, 'I don't wanna die' oriented young woman that knows exactly where she stands in a world where Naruto and Sasuke exist. Not at the top.
This is our hero, people. She's the token teammate. And, you know what? That's fine. They don't get put into the bingo books. They get to go home to their families at the end of the day. This is fine.
No matter how hard her hot, blonde friend tries to convince her otherwise.

Summary
Two young capes awake with amnesia and extensive modifications on the streets of Brockton Bay. Circumstances unfold, and the two girls find themselves shoe-horned into the world of villainy (the gratuitous murder, violence, and property damage likely did not help their case). Eventually, the duo seek answers, find friends, and hunt for vengeance … all while monsters begin to appear.
