Summary
Theodore Finn Elffire was a very average boy, with average looks, from the average pureblood family. No one would ever suspect that he has an ongoing war with his mental health, not to mention his homeschooling struggles. But somehow, he still winds up as a newly accepted fifth year at Hogwarts - much to his reluctance.
Between the discovery of a rare power, Hogwarts shenanigans and getting in the way of a group of magic extremists, his year is off to a rather troublesome start. With the ever growing list of responsibilities on his shoulders, he can't afford to break. Especially as long as certain charming Slytherins need his help...
Biweekly updates! (But currenty on temporary Hiatus until I stop being sick and finally move. Shit's been rough, and I need to pre-write the next few chapters first, hope y'all can wait that long)

Summary
The AU is based on this tumblr post:
https://lynati.tumblr.com/post/133479231792/lectorel-hazel-the-space-ace-sarsparilloAs a panromantic asexual, Ethan Nestor grew up both dancing in a circle on the Pansexual Archipelago and listening to stories of fierce warriors of the ace air fleet. He knows the ISLANDs by heart. However, he also knows that the government will not rest until the last one of them is gone. So, he does the one thing he can think of: join the ranks of spies. But as his new mission progresses, he slips up and falls for a straight guy. Which, in and of itself, wouldn’t have been so bad - Ethan had hid his crushes before, it wouldn’t be any different - if he hadn’t been his boss and also a great friend and also a wonderful human being. He will NOT survive another day with that man.
I'm not a native English speaker, though I try my best. Please beware.

It's everything he's always dreamed of and never thought he could have, so why does his heart still hurt sometimes?

It's a bit ironic that the god of life should fall for the dead.

Summary
Ninety-six years after the last appearance of Sozin’s Comet, a freshly burned and banished thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
When Zhao interferes with Zuko's plans to deliver the Avatar to his father, Aang helps Zuko and Iroh escape. They take refuge from the Fire Navy in the abandoned Air Temples, where the young Avatar searches for any remnants of his people that he can find. Along the way, Aang teaches an indoctrinated Zuko about the true nature of the Air Nomads, and the Fire Prince must come to terms with the fact that everything he has been taught was a lie, while the Dragon of the West must face the sins of his past.
Eventually, Aang and Zuko become close friends, and Zuko begins to feel things he has never felt for anyone before. However, Zhao will not give up easily, and will do whatever it takes to capture the Avatar and his traitor accomplices.
(A retelling of ATLA exploring the friendship and eventual romance that could have developed between Aang and Zuko if the circumstances of their meeting had been different.)
(CURRENT UPDATE SCHEDULE IS ROUGHLY EVERY 3-4 WEEKS)
(Ongoing Russian translation now available!)

Summary
[discontinued] Bruno felt it when Mirabel accepted his hands. The rush of familiar magic; the pull of a prophecy coming to fruition before them. But as he stared at his niece within the sand, her glassy eyes illuminated like golden halos in the dark. She saw something he hadn’t, something he’d missed in all his years of telling the future.
He knew there and then that she had indeed been given a gift all those years ago. A powerful, humbling, dangerous gift. Magic like his; except where he toiled too often in the dark…she strode so fearlessly in the light.

Summary
~~~
Luka is a reluctant technician on the Whale, a Duvos warship executing a secret mission near ancient ruins in the Sandrock city state territory. A chance encounter with the local monster hunter and ruin diver sets in motion events that will change his life forever.
~~~
Woke up one night during a thunderstorm and my brain suddenly went "Hey! Hey! You know what? What iiiiif... What if the builder WAS a Duvos spy?"
Some alterations to that setting (you'll see along the way), some drafting later and here we are.
Trigger warning for: gun violence, some other types of violence, more mature themes and some smut. Also, some major character death. This may not be a good fic for Pen fans. Will try to provide more concrete trigger warnings for more serious situations at the beginning of the chapters.
The overall timeline is the same as the game but there will be a few deviations from canon to accommodate the concept.
Not beta read, English not my native language and my writing is nowhere near as good as other authors' on this site but yolo.
Any comments, criticism, kudos, feedback is appreciated.
