Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia
Title: all that glitters is not gold
Author: zukushou
Pairing: None
Rating: Teen and Up Audiences
Word Count: 7,452
Summary:
“Aizawa hates kids,” Jirou remarked. “Why would he take the time to give someone extra training?”

Ashido sighed dramatically, hanging her head. “I don’t know why, I just know that he is! He threw knives at us!”

“He threw knives at you?” Kirishima repeated a bit nervously. Who was this guy, going around flinging knives at people’s heads?

“Not at us,” Sero corrected. “He threw the knives at Aizawa. Then Aizawa told us that he would throw the knives at us next if we didn’t scram.”

“So we scrammed!” Kaminari chimed in brightly.

OR

Aizawa is training someone in secret, and Class 1-A has plenty of theories about what kind of person it might be. Needless to say, a Quirkless kid isn’t the type of guy they’re expecting.

But Izuku is nothing if not a master at subverting expectations.

Rating: Mature Audiences
Word Count: 235,248
Summary:
“Potter…why is a horcrux of the Dark Lord sitting in your living room in muggle Surrey?” Severus Snape slowly and calmly asked as if he was holding onto his last thread of sanity while waiting for the answer.

“Well, we met back in my second year at school, became friends since I didn’t know who his future self was, he tried to kill me, I killed him, and then he floated around the aether for a couple years,” Harry sighed. It was all so very complex.

---

Everyone has had a summer from hell after what happened with the Triwizard Tournament. Literally everyone, even the part of Voldemort's soul that he thought he'd gotten rid of so very long ago. When Harry Potter's worst enemy asks for his help though...well, that pesky saving people thing just really gets in the way.

 

Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: The Syntax of Things
Author: Arrisha
Pairing: Harry Potter/Severus Snape
Rating: Mature Audiences
Word Count: 200,436
Summary:
A short-lived series of private lessons took place after Christmas in Harry Potter's fifth school year, during which Severus Snape attempted to teach Harry the skill of Occlumency. The lessons were ultimately cancelled when Harry was caught prying into Snape's memories, discovering the strangest things: A mysterious prophecy connected Harry's fate with Voldemort's, Harry's dad was an insufferable bully, and Severus Snape had been in love with Harry's mum. Naturally, Harry now has a million questions. Snape would prefer to answer none.

The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. The same question arises in every soul: "For what, for whom, must I kill and be killed?"

...Or, a classic approach to stubbornness.

He spends the next weeks vacillating between guilt and grief, with no idea how to move past either.

And then Eleven tells him about the ghost following him.

Sure, Eddie might have died in the Upside Down. But when has anything in Hawkins ever been that simple?
