Pyrrha's Elysium by Tekkonair, The_Unreal_State

Summary
Navigating student life at Beacon Academy can be difficult, especially so for socially-isolated tournament star Pyrrha Nikos. Fortunately, she has twenty-four voices in her head to help her out!
---
Welcome to potentially the most absurd idea for a fic I've ever had. 'What if Pyrrha Nikos had the skills from Disco Elysium in her head?' A few of them have been altered to better fit Pyrrha, since she's a very different character to Harry Du Bois.
It's going to be a bit of a wild ride, I hope you enjoy. There will be plenty of references to things that happen in Disco Elysium, so keep an eye out for those.
And yes, Pyrrha will ask Weiss about the Homosexual Underground.

Summary
When pushed to her limit and realising that nobody cares enough to save her, Taylor breaks and gains superpowers in a very, very public Trigger Event. Able to transform into and manipulate light, she can cross a continent in the time it takes to blink an eye, yet cannot find her place in the world.
The only silver lining is the discovery that her uncle is a member of the Triumvirate, and through the pulling of strings, maybe she can start anew. Her life in Brockton Bay may be wrecked, but perhaps as a member of the New york Wards she can find somewhere, or someone, where she can rebuild and learn to trust others again.

Summary
Mira twists back around to look ahead of herself, tapping her fingers against the wheel as she forces back another smile. “No. Anyway, if you need a date, I’ll do it. I can take you back down, though,” she adds, turning back to look at Zoey over her shoulder.
Zoey actually gapes at her, shaking her head rapidly. “Uh, no, absolutely not. I’m already in the car. I’m, like, painfully alone this Christmas. I can also be your date! The more the merrier, right? And what better time to be merry? It’s literally the season for it.”
Rumi looks genuinely horrified. “No! No. No, it’s fine. Please just drive back to the diner, I’m—”
“Are we all dating?” Mira asks. “Or is she, like, just dating both of us separately?”
Zoey clicks her tongue. She almost sounds casual when she says, “No, we’re totally all dating.”
“Cool,” Mira says, nodding. “Can you put in the address?”
Rumi stares at her, eyes somehow getting bigger. She looks so terribly miserable, as if she would rather be anywhere else right now, which is funnier to Mira than she thinks it probably should be. “You can’t be serious.”

Summary
Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.
His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”
“Indeed,” he hums.
//
(Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)
//
Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.
