Summary
[Sokka is five when the first mark appears.
It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.
When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments.
“Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”
Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.
A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]
Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.

Summary
As Severus Snape lay dying in the Shrieking Shack, his mind created an oddly detailed and realistic hallucination of his life as a child.
Only, it didn't seem to be ending, did it?
Severus was either in a coma and dying, already dead and trapped in some purgatory, completely and utterly insane, or living in the body of his past self.
Until he could figure out which, he might as well play along and attempt to keep the timeline from shattering into a thousand pieces.
If only it were that easy...
What day had he first met Lily, last time around? Could he really afford to avoid doing some odd jobs around town to keep himself fed?
And, perhaps most suspiciously, why did James Potter keep looking at him like that?!

Summary
Life in Gotham can be really weird. Especially for Dick Grayson but he makes it work despite the weirdness. They did said that expect the unexpected and that life can be very unpredictable so made sure he can handle it.
But probably not to the point where he gets tangled up with the family drama of the Wayne Family and be stalked by vigilantes left and right.
Perhaps Commissioner Gordon was right, he is a catnip for people who dress up in ridiculous costumes and beat up the bad guys for a living.
[ EDIT (02/27/25) — I’ll try to edit the first 2 chapters soon guys 🫡 but still, please enjoy!! ]

summary:
“Thank you.” Jason gave another theatrical huff. “God. I love Dick.” An elderly woman sitting beside them scoffed. “I really do.” Three tables over, a girl was coughing and wheezing, her boba drink tipped over onto its side. Thank god for sealed lids. “I can’t live my life without Dick.” -

Summary
Whumtober 2020 Challenge
The life of a Persona user isn't easy- no matter how heroic it may seem from the outside. And no story has time to tell every detail- things get left out, overlooked, for the sake moving the story forward. The shadows left behind still linger, untold stories in every scar- or lack of them.
Shall I tell you? Of the Martyr, the Truth Seeker, the Trickster, and those they gather around them?
(Individual warnings the the beginning of each chapter.)

Summary
With a sly smile, he eyed the time-turner. It gleamed like gold, just the way the Malfoys liked it. With this, he could save his son. He went for the door, but came to a sudden halt when realization hit him: With the time turner, he could save more than just one person.
(Draco-centric time travel fanfiction, starting 3rd year, this story is gen, meaning romance is not the focus, although there'll be some in later chapters)
