Summary
”Let me get this straight,” said Tommy. “You want me to be the house’s magical trophy wife? Why the hell would I say yes to that?"
The red haired ghost smirked, leaning back until they reclined on an invisible lounge. "Well, for each hour you spend in costume, we can waive a percentage of your university fees and—"
”—FREE COLLEGE?! Do you want me to wear pumps or stilettos?”Tommy isn’t a normal university student. Sure, he joins the lettuce eating club, eats the elevator spaghetti and gets all his shoelaces stolen. But multiple times a week Tommy has anime transformation, becoming the mysterious Red Mascot, the second hottest person in the university. (Tommy was the first, obviously) But as the year continues, he finds he isn't the only one keeping secrets. Shubble only ever returns after midnight, there are other house mascots running around the university—their identities could be right under his nose—and even his ghostly sidekick, Clementine, is holding her tongue. That won't stop Tommy from trying to win prank of the year, though. The reason: TOMMY IS A BIG MAN!
Or: Tommy pays for his college by dressing as a magical drag queen.

Summary
"I could tell the orange had gone bad when I picked it up from the dirt, when I felt it, all softened up in my hands,” Oswald sighed with melancholy, grimacing. “But I couldn’t help wanting to taste it. I… broke its skin, and it looked bruised, and the juice was coating my wrists and it felt very horrible—so sticky—but I still… I still…”
Each segment, too soft, religiously taken apart to reveal the moldy core—cloud of green—and the fruit didn’t disgust him half as much as he disgusted himself, because in all its foulness Oswald had kept on licking up his palms, each bead of rotten juice devoured with delight, coating his mouth with bloody sugar.
“You ate it,” Lacie declared matter-of-factly.
“Yes,” Oswald finally answered. There was no need to say more—to confess that Jack awoke in him the same irreverent hunger.
Oswald Baskerville is in love with Jack Vessalius. Everyone seems well aware of this—everyone but Oswald himself.

Summary
Shen Yuan doesn't know exactly what he should agree to now. It's already decided, isn't it? It's not like Shen Yuan can just say he doesn't agree, and his family will suddenly decide not to marry him off to the Emperor as part of a good business deal that will make the Emperor able to freely dispose of the Storm Fawns.
He will marry Emperor Luo Binghe.... Shen Yuan knows what happens to the flowers in the Emperor's harem. They are beautiful, worthy of his attention until their petals wither and the novelty wears off. He knows the same goes for husbands; Luo Binghe has collected a few, and now Shen Yuan is just one more, isn't he? Just a young man who was taken as a business marriage with mutual benefits.
The eleven other men Luo Binghe has taken as husbands in the past don't agree with that. In the end, Shen Yuan is now part of them; the small harem of men, and, being all of them expert masters in their field, what else can the Emperor's eleven withered flowers do but teach Shen Yuan how to become the ruthless bitch who can take the Empress's place (and the Emperor's heart)? -

Summary
Gojo made an offended noise as Geto continued to pretend to sob into the phone. That man never played fair; Gojo would never use crocodile tears to convince his husband to let him touch himself... often. “Wait- okay, okay, I’m sorry,” he ceded. “I want to wait for you. But it’s so annoying. I want to do it with you right now...”
Geto hummed sadly, the low tone crackling; wherever he was, he was losing connection fast. “I know. I swear I’ll ma- up to you. Once I- ‘turn, I’ll make up for e- ‘gle day I miss- ‘oru. I love you,” he whispered. “I ha- call you back.”
Every single day?
this is my magnum opus.

Summary
“Quirkless” the name Izuku has carried around as a title since he was 4. His father left and never returned. Inko under the stress of trying to be normal, of pretending her son is normal, she breaks. Izuku is determined to save others, if not as a hero then as something slightly less legal. He knows what it feels like to be abandoned by society, so he’ll protect those society left behind, cause everyone deserves justice.
Aka Vigilantism and Gang wars
(Translations will be provided in end notes, if there's ever a language being spoken that Izuku does NOT understand. I won't hide important information in untranslated dialogue, but describing a conversation in another language is fair game. As of right now, I intended to include both the original dialogue, and the english translation in parentheses, when it's a spoken language Izuku DOES understands.)

Summary
Izuku Midoriya learned early that the world was stranger than most people admitted. The skies were too loud. The shadows moved wrong. And sometimes cities vanished off the news, only to reappear in whispers and scars.
Kaiju exist — not as legends, but as headline-making, skyline-swallowing facts. A global task force exists to protect the world from them, the SSSP. Their agents are always watching, but rarely seen. Their work is public, but their methods are not. Most civilians are told: if a monster comes and no hero can stop it, pray someone from the Science Patrol is listening.
But the real danger, Izuku realizes, isn’t always found in the things that tower above buildings. It’s in the people who tower over others. In the way society rewards strength, quirks, and control — and forgets to look back at what was sacrificed to get there. The world is full of ambition dressed as heroism, history turned to smoke, and power built on silence.
And so Izuku holds onto what matters. His mother. His home. Because in a world that forgets too much, the only way to live is to remember the ones you can’t afford to lose — even if the world says they were never there.

Summary
Leo has only ever known how to be human. He was always careful with dampening his fire ability around people, but once he was found out, he was exiled into the Southern Wilds to fend for himself or die trying. The only thing that keeps Leo's hopes afloat are rumors of a human-led nation 180 miles to the north that accepts magical folk like him. Leo was terrified of facing this journey of self-discovery alone, but thankfully, he finds an injured house cat.
The mysteries of the wilds don't seem so threatening when you're facing them with a friend.

Summary
illustrated by KAGAMINATOR5000
the Project Diva tag really likes mischaracterizing modules and not caring that there is actual canon to the game.
i thought: if the authors on either side care so much, how do the characters feel? in this fic, a mysterious interviewer goes to monochrome world to visit the baku.i'm currently reading multiple plays (or should be, i'm focusing on various school things rn) at the same time for English class (Shakespeare, Marlowe, etc.) and the format really interested me. i wanted to try using it to write something too, especially since the PV's style looks like a stageplay. this is what high school AP literature does to people.
not beta read, there may be grammar/spelling issue etc., but the fic itself has proper punctuation and capitalization.
the end notes has some background info and clarification for the story that might be interesting. enjoy or not. -

Summary
CH89: One Last Thing
"...Kuroo is sitting in a sunbeam, his tan suit looking exactly as the gods intended, like he could prove humanity's right to opposable thumbs if only to turn plant fibres into that fabric. Like math was made up just so the pieces would fit him specifically. His jacket hangs open, as though the whole thing is exactly as easy for him as it literally was. That fucking shirt, top button undone, drips down his chest like water. You look, like he wanted. You're standing at the edge of him, staring like he's an expensive ocean view you need to get your money's worth of, as his breath makes the material ebb, teasing sight of his skin the way tired waves give glimpses of moonlit sand. And the whole of it on purpose, the prick. He hasn't even got a tie around his neck to strangle him with..."
"...Clearly leaving no time to consider options or outcomes, Atsumu followed up on the inconvenient truth by scoffing "this's my ex," for clarity. Instead of shutting up for the second time ever, he gestured rudely toward Tetsurou. Out loud, in real fucking life, he said "this's the reason she's my ex."
