Dragons over Snakes by WHYISEVERYNAMETAKEN
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
31 Oct 2025

Summary
A Forward by the Scholar Zuyen:
It has been a long upheld truth of our great nation that after the twin falls of the disgraced Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Azula, and their subsequent imprisonments, neither of the two ever regained contact with our well-respected Fire Lord Zuko. While Fire Lord Zuko ensured the humane holding conditions of his estranged father and sister immediately after his ascension to the throne, he reportedly never saw a need to continue communications with them. Before writing this book, my answer to such an obvious statement would have been, "Blasting flames—well of course he didn't!" Now, though, my answer would be quite different. But best leave that til later.
Fire Lord Zuko, when questioned about such matters, only ever gave one answer in response, saying: “A true leader has no need for snakes and scoundrels. Dragons are far superior.”
Given his far more professional reply, it is no wonder that he was the fire lord and I am a less-than-humble scholar.
OR
Two siblings learning how to be siblings for the first time via letters. And the scholar from a century later who found them.

Summary
“That’s the first Gryffindor trade secret you’ll get tonight.”
“But,” said Finnigan, grinning from ear to ear, “it won’t be the last. We’ll give you the proper rundown now that you’re one of us.”It was like nails on a chalkboard. The sound of a brand new broom snapping in half. Moaning Myrtle’s undead wail.
One of us.
Good Merlin. He’d stumbled into a nightmare.

Summary
“Tell you what Princess, I will make you a deal. If you ask him out and he rejects you, like you seem to think he will, I will never drop by for any unscheduled visits that don’t involve purple butterflies again. However, if I am right and he says yes, then not only do I reserve the right to continue basking in your presence whenever I so choose, but you will also provide me with free croissants every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the next two months.”
“You don’t want to make this bet kitty.”
“Oh, I am pretty sure I do.”

Summary
There is an unspoken rule, kept by any outsider who's ever set foot in Gotham, that you should only ever visit the city once. (For some, even once is far too much.)
The most dangerous city on earth isn't kind to its residents—much less strangers who don't know how to watch their pockets or keep off the streets after dark. It's gotten better, perhaps, in recent years since the Bat started lurking on rooftops, but that doesn't mean the city is good.
Normal people stay as far from Gotham as they can get.
Marinette, (un)luckily, is far from normal.
***
The story of Marinette stumbling upon the illustrious Wayne family over and over again, as well as the more infamous Bats, over the course of her many visits to Gotham. She, of course, charms the whole lot of them and finds that the same is true in the reverse.

Summary
The most Harry could see was a vague shadow passing the doorway a few times - his ears managed better, picking up the sounds of rattling and rearranging. Burglars, the boy thought to himself. Those are burglars.
Probably looking for Uncle Vernon’s money and Aunt Petunia’s good silver, but for one vindictive moment Harry desperately hoped they’d take all of Dudley’s fancy electronic games and toys, too.

Summary
“I could be like Tracy Turnblad,” Peter says thoughtfully, “from Hairspray.”
“Hairspray?” Mr. Stark’s face twitches like he’s trying really hard to hold in a sneeze. Or maybe a deluge of sarcastic comments. “I thought you were studying really old—” Mr. Stark makes little air quotes with his index and middle fingers “— sci-fi movies to maintain your precocious teenage-vigilante aesthetic. What, you diversifying into old rom-com musicals now, Pete?”
“Hairspray isn’t that old, Mr. Stark,” Peter says, “I mean, Zefron was in it.”
“Zef— You mean Zac Efron? Kid, that’s—,” Mr. Stark shakes his head, lifts his hands as if he can ward off Peter’s words with his palms, stands up, and makes to leave the lounge. “You— Alright, movie night’s over. Get out of my house.”
Peter has a twenty-three step plan to reunite the Avengers. This plan is brought to you by the 2007 musical movie Hairspray.

Summary
It all started with the agency's twitter account retweeting a tweet from HeroCon. Or, if you asked one Aizawa Shouta, he'd say that it all started when twenty fresh UA graduates somehow convinced him to supervise their agency and use his hero name on the forefront.
Shouta found himself being dragged around a hero convention, visiting an old friend, and holding back a laugh or two—not necessarily in that order.

What NOT To Do When Keeping Your Vigilante Identity A Secret: A Guide By Midoriya Izuku (and the Dekusquad) by DarkColdSummer

Summary
“Eraserhead’s students,” Villain #1 states smugly.
They all exchange looks at each other, and Momo thinks she gets what they’re saying. Thinks. She refrains, just in case she got it wrong.
“…Yes?” Iida asks, interrupting the villain before he can say anything else.
“Who’s Eraserhead?” And isn’t that a trip to hear Midoriya saying, especially since he was the first to actually figure out who Aizawa-sensei was.
“We’re students?” Surprisingly, it’s Todoroki who says this, completely deadpan.
“What are students?” Uraraka chirps cheerfully.
…Momo does not think that any of them really understood each other.
- - - - -
Three times one of the “Dekusquad” found out about, helped, and/or joined Midoriya’s nighttime activities, one time their teacher found out and that time the entire class did.
(aka, i had this strange urge for a canon-verse midoriya who decides to be a vigilante partway through the school year and has really supportive friends, and so i wrote it.)

OR
Tim, having found a weird hole after a storm, decides to go exploring ignoring the fact that This Is Gotham and They Probably Have Cursed Stuff Down There.
Luckily, it was just a cave system that spans the entire Gotham underground. Unluckily, Tim is a very curious child.

Summary
CROWLEY: I try not to make a habit of gratitude, but I must give our appreciation to everyone out there who’s been listening and subscribing to The Ineffable Plan.
AZIRAPHALE: Ooh, yes, we’ve become quite popular, haven’t we?
CROWLEY: Yeah, just hit number eight on the advice charts … No advertising at all.
AZIRAPHALE: Mm. How … miraculous.
CROWLEY: … Aziraphale. You did not.***
Crowley and Aziraphale are very possibly the people least qualified, on the entire planet, to start up an advice podcast.
But what else is there to do when the world isn’t ending anytime soon, you’re technically on indefinite sabbatical from your lifelong careers, and you need a plausible excuse to spend more time with your best friend who you’re definitely not, absolutely not, maybe just a little, actually maybe overwhelmingly in love with?

Peter Pettigrew and the Ghost of Christmas James by gonzoclock
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
25 Dec 2023
Tags
Summary
Peter loves his friends. Which is why he had to kill them. And now, he's doing- well. Alright. Things didn't turn out exactly as he'd anticipated, but he's making it work. Living his life. As a rat. Mostly trying not to think about things.
Fine. Things could be better.
But he hadn't thought they'd get worse- which is exactly what happens when, three years after James died, he's come back. And for some godforsaken reason, he's decided to make that Peter's problem. (Okay, okay- Peter gets it. He did kill him.) Peter is sure that James is going to turn him in, ruin his life the same as Peter had ruined the Marauders.
But this is James. And he doesn't do any of that.
What was Peter expecting, really?
(Features: A lot of fighting, a lot of forgiveness, and a splash of necromancy. Alright, you got me- rather a lot of necromancy. But come on- we can't just have the ghost of Christmas James show up. Haven't you seen 'A Muppet's Christmas Carol'? There needs to be at least two more ghosts.)

O Hestia, Bring Us Home by HopeNight
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
01 Aug 2020
Tags
Summary
It begins in a way that many of you are familiar with.
The number one hero and his number one fan on a rooftop of a nearby building. The fan’s hands are shaking, from nerves mostly, and a question sits in the throat, willing itself to be spoken despite the fear.“I’m quirkless,” the fan says whose hands will never spark up, who will never have wings out of the back, who can’t even change eye color. “But I’m smart and I’m strong and I’m brave. I want to be a hero. Can I?”
Midoriya Izuku does not become the first quirkless hero.
This doesn't mean that he doesn't have a hand in helping that hero come about.
