Summary
Rosie just wanted to get away from it all...She never meant to be thrown down a well and end up right in the middle of her favorite series. Now that she's landed in the Weasley's backyard, and told Dumbledore about the books she read, she has a chance to go to Hogwarts and become the witch she always wanted to be. But things are not quite what they seem.
As time goes on, she'll find herself trying her best to save the people she lost in the books, but will she be successful? Or will she become too absorbed in her own drama - learning magic, fighting evil, and even falling in love - to be able to help anyone but herself? She knows she'll eventually have to find her way back, but will she return to a world that hates her, or stay at Hogwarts to try to save the characters she's come to love, some more than others?
(FredxOC) From Chamber of Secrets until the very end. Book one of six.

Summary
Miko Tsukikawa never dreamed of becoming a hero—not for herself. As a child, she was content following her younger sister, Riko, whose boundless ambition shaped their shared future. But when Riko’s powerful quirk tragically claims her life, Miko is left adrift, burdened by grief and a promise she can’t ignore. To honor Riko’s memory, Miko vows to take up the mantle of heroism, pushing herself to become the greatest hero the world has ever known. Yet as she fights to fulfill her sister’s dreams, Miko must confront the weight of her guilt, the shadow of her loss, and the question of whether she’s chasing greatness—or running from the past.
This might eventually turn into a slowburn Bakugo/OC fic.

Summary
There's a cold tense air emanating from the girls that suffocates the room and makes the other students shiver at the display. Most were aware of the girls' close relationship beforehand or had at least noticed them hanging out together in and out of class.
It's hard not to go unnoticed when you have the definition of pink and rainbows smiling and skipping alongside the most emotionless girl ever who's the epitome of darkness and death.
Needless to say, it was obvious something happened between the former roommates.
alternatively: missing scene where Wednesday and Enid are forced to endure each other's company in their shared classes after their fight from the manor.

Summary
“Look at her, Joonie.” Namjoon could hear Jae-Beom off to the side, mocking him. He shook his head, desperate to quell the overwhelming need to throw up, until he felt a hand in his hair, wrenching his head back painfully. A scream caught in his throat as he looked up into dead eyes, wide and unblinking. His hand fell limply from her throat, more blood gushing out and he swallowed thickly, wincing as Jae-Beom’s hand tightened in his hair. He heard the rustling of Jae-Beom’s clothes as he leaned closer, his breath ghosting the shell of Namjoon’s ear.

Summary
Mira thought back to that day, one year and four months ago, when Lucy Heartfilia had left for that wretched mission. No one really paid attention to her leaving, thinking that they’d have more time with their Celestial mage upon her return. But they never did—from that day on to now, no one would see Lucy, or be able to talk to her, or hug her, or tell her they love her— and Mira knew that this ate away at the stoic blond.
What could he have said to have made her stay?
But she knew Laxus wasn’t the only one to think this. On the contrary, what could Mirajane have done to keep her safe?
Should’ve tried harder to convince her to stay, even if just another day. Should’ve been more insistent. Should’ve convinced Natsu to go with her, or Erza, or Gray.
Hell, even Laxus to further her matchmaking agenda, even if at the time, the two targets of her scheme would have immediately figured something was up.
Should have done this, should have done that. Should have done everything.
Those were the thoughts that plagued Fairy Tail for a year and four months now. They just got better at carrying its weight.

Summary
In a move that is sure to spark plenty of debate, League One side Wrexham AFC has made the controversial decision to sign professional NWSL superstar, Caitlyn Kiramman, on a one-year deal.
Kiramman, 23, shows little sign of slowing down, with 10 goals and 7 assists in 10 games so far this season, playing the full 90 minutes in every match up to the end of May.
But many doubters are saying that the leap up to men's football is too great for even someone as talented as her, citing the sex-based disparity between men and women.
"It's a twelve-month contract, that was the maximum length they'd allow, but we rate our chances with her. She is a fresh perspective, she's top of her game, and she's keen to impress, and that can only bode well for squad mentality.
"I have no doubt people will call this a publicity stunt, but we genuinely believe, me and Bob, that if a player under contract is good enough and eligible, they will play for our club."
A CaitVi football (soccer) AU, heavy emphasis on the football.
