    Summary

    “People like us,” Logan had once remarked to Virgil. “Are statistical anomalies.”

    (Almost) Everyone in the world has powers. As for those who don’t, well, they’re such a small part of the population - only 0.04% - why would anyone care about them?

    Ever since he realized what people mean when they call him Powerless, Virgil Sanders has tried to fight back against the system that oppresses people like him, Patton, and Logan. When Patton’s bakery is targeted in a hate crime, he finally snaps. With the help of a mysterious sponsor, Virgil becomes a villain, ready to remake a broken society. The only thing standing in his way is the world’s most Powerful (and infuriatingly charming) superhero: The Prince, who is hiding the fact that his gilded life isn’t as perfect as it may seem.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    One of the first fics I ever read, and let me tell you, it is unforgettable. The whole story is immaculate, with the amazing writing and spot-on yet unique characterization being key factors in its greatness. All the twists and turns constantly had me at the edge of my seat, and I enjoyed every second of it. And another great thing: you dont necessarily have to be in the fandom to follow the story! Sure, it helps to know some of the characters already, but this piece of art can definitely be read with no background knowledge. Anyway, enough of my rambling. If you're looking for fics to read, then I 100000/10 would recommend this one! While you're at it, check out this author's other works for even more compelling and artful wordwork

    Summary

    LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
    1971 - 1995

    This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!

    PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

    Honestly I have no words.(that's obv not true, considering I just wrote a whole paragraph abt it.) I was so invested in this, it's the only think I read for almost a week straight. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to bring myself to read it again, with all the emotional twists and turns it had me in. Def made me cry more than once. This whole thing is beautifully written, and I am 100% accepting this as canon for here on out. I love Grant, as I think the addition of his character did wonders for the story. This is by far the best marauders au fic I've ever had the privilege to read. Ik I say this a lot, but this might be one of my favorite fics of all time, although I'm a bit spiffed that it took me so long to come across this fic. 100000/10 would recommend of u want to cry your eyes out and still love the author afterwards.

    Non-magical modern AU - Marauders/Wolfstar

    Sirius attends a charity rock gig organised by his best friend's girlfriend, and the tall, quiet bassist catches his eye...

    Basically just a thing I wrote after listening to Belle & Sebastian's 'Dress up in you' a million times.

    Quite sexy.

    Relly cute story :). Definitely an amazing read by my standards, and it was perfectly paced. I loved reading every word of it. Day by day I'm becoming more of a hopeless romantic than I ever thought I'd be.

    Summary

    “So, why are you telling me?” Kath asks, filled with new-found confidence, “I’ll just go straight to the police and they’ll tell her the truth. I can ruin your whole plan.”

    “You won’t.” He says softly, “Because I know something that will ruin your life. Say an anonymous source were to tell the papers that a certain Katherine Plumber was seen sharing a kiss with Sarah Jacobs last week, well, that would result in a nightmare for you. My, it could even get your paper shut down entirely.”

    OR

    Katherine finds out some shocking family secrets and helps her half-sister escape to become a newsie and seek revenge on Pulitzer

    Such a great read. I love Keela's character, she fits so well into the story! I'm way too tired to write anything more in-depth, but just know that I absolutely love your writing, and I'm planning on checking out any other works you have :)

    Istg this fic KILLED me with its cuteness. I love Jaskier with all my heart, and his interactions with literally everyone (except asshat dad) had me fawning over this story. And I have to agree with the author, Ciri is the most adorable 5 (or 6?) year old to ever exist. Love this fic, hoping to see more of this world in the future!
