Summary
She had blush toned hair, strength of a thousand men and eyes as green as the grassy fields; a personification of the transient great tree blooming in spring. They named her Sakura.
When she accepted their invitation to become a citizen of the newly built great village, she didn't expect to find love there. She fell first but he fell harder.
(Also, there is a mystery surrounding her memories, or the fact that she simply couldn't remember.)

Edmund Pevensie and Yet Another Magical World by LucasApollo

Summary
The days following Edmund’s summer with the Professor were fraught with strangeness. He recalled owls appearing at all hours of the day at the Professor’s house and curiously wondered if they were the same types of owls that had brought him his letter.
With the letter followed the Other Professor—a stranger of Narnia, Archenland, and Calormen, and yet had tales as fantastical as those that Edmund or his siblings could weave. The Other Professor cast an unerring eye upon him as if able to detect that Edmund wasn’t what he seemed, that he had lived another fifteen years in another world.

Summary
Eddie tries to convince himself that it is something they don't want or need. He fails.
Update: August 2021. So I went back and reread this and added about 1.5k more words worth of porn throughout the chapters. Mostly on Chapter 2 because the flow of it when reading was least satisfying to me. If you're someone who goes back to reread, you're in for a few surprises!

Adjest isn't the only one in the royal family without a spouse, after all.

Summary
Soulmarks are rare, and soulmates finding each other are even rarer. When Obi-Wan's soulmate breaks their soulbond for another, it nearly kills him. Instead, he's left with golden eyes and a muddied Force-signature, on the run from a Republic that thinks he's dead. Good thing he knows a certain space pirate who owes him a favor. And if he can't help but find Alpha-17 increasingly attractive, well. Who would know but him?
Anakin, distraught by his Master's disappearance, is on a mission—find out what really happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi. Along the way, he teams up with Maul, bent on avenging the life that was his to take, and Quinlan Vos, who is convinced that Obi-Wan isn't really dead...
Things go about as well as you'd think.

Summary
In a world where Voldemort's victory brought forth the golden age of pureblood supremacy, young Harry - an average Durmstrang student - grows surrounded by the same propaganda that has become the gospel truth of the Wizarding World. Injustice is a norm and racism is not only accepted, but actively encouraged. Embracing the status quo becomes harder when Harry finds himself in a train station where the living should not dwell, and a dangerous friend who goes by the name "Tom".

Summary
“I can’t believe I’m giving you advice,” Rowle muttered to himself, running his fingers through his short, sandy blond hair. His blue eyes met the Slytherin Head Boy's stormy gray eyes across the library table that they sat, and a grimace crossed Ravenclaw's face. “Look Riddle, Evans isn’t someone to mess around with. I know he looks nonthreatening, being so short, and thin, like a gust of wind could blow him over; but if you keep fucking with him it’s your funeral.”
Tom arched an incredulous brow. He looked at seventeen-year-old Theodore Rowle, all six-feet and two inches of him, and compared him to the five-foot-five fifteen-year-old Henry Evans in his mind. The fact that the Ravenclaw was in any way frightened of his small, sylphlike housemate was laughable to him when Theodore was so large and broad-shouldered in comparison. But he was. Noticeably so. Tom didn’t need to use legilimency to see it. “Why are you so afraid of him?” He wondered aloud.
“Because I’m not stupid,” Rowle scoffed. “We’ve known each other a long time. I know what he’s capable of.”
Tom leaned forward in his seat, interested. “And praytell, Rowle, just what is Evans capable of?”Series

Summary
When Juno and Minerva told him he was going to die if he activated the device to save the world, he believed them. They had no reason to lie and Minerva’s expression made it clear that she had been worried. Whether she had been worried about him or about the future of the world if Juno got out, Desmond didn’t know.
But he couldn’t help but think that Minerva had a hand in all these.
That the reason why he woke up in the city of Jerusalem during the 12th century was because of something she did.
Still…
He would have appreciated it if she didn’t also return him to his 16-year-old body.
Now, having no idea what to do, Desmond decided to let history play out the way it did before and made his way to Alamut to be inducted into the Brotherhood without being part of Masyaf.
This way he could monitor everything without being in the middle of it.Unfortunately, he forgot one important thing.
Everything he knows of this time period was based on Altaïr’s memories.
And, thanks to how different Abstergo’s Animus was from Rebecca’s, Altaïr’s memories had always been incomplete.
