Summary
The moment - the second - that Y/N breathed in the undiluted scent of alpha for the first time she knew she was forever changed.
She sucked in a gasping breath, her limbs clenching and then suddenly falling limp, like her puppet strings had been cut.
It was, it was - Gods - the scent of him.
It was alpha musk; it was strength and blood and sweat and lust.

Summary
Izuku's mom told him to stay away from the forest behind their house. She told him that monsters preyed on little green haired boys just like him and would drag them into the trees kicking and screaming...
She told him nightmarish stories just to scare him away, and then prayed to whatever god there is that Izuku would grow up and grow out of his love for that darkened forest.
But he never did.

Summary
Dabi tripped over his own feet as he ran back into the dark room, his lungs for the first time choking on the smell of burnt human flesh, and then sunk his hands into the mattress.
All he could see was red.
Bright streaks of red pillowed on the sheets, on the floor under his knees, under his hands.
Feathers.
Everywhere.
Red broken feathers.

Summary
“So if you were one of them, one of the Avengers, you wouldn’t sign the accords?” Peter asked.
“No Pete, I wouldn’t. If we signed those accords they wouldn’t let us save the little people, don’t you see? They’d only send us out for the big shit, to stop the world killers and manipulators, but then there’d be nobody left to save us!"
-----------------------------------
In which Magdalena "Lena" Ruiz just wants to protect her best friend, but can't stop getting sucked into the world of vigilantes, war criminals, and depressed heroes. I guess she didn't realize she had more in common with them than she thought.
Starting in CA:CW and eventually working through IW, slow burn Steve/OC centric fic

Summary
The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione's throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.
(In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle's interest)
