Summary
“Lord Garmadon will return”
“And we’ll be ready for him”
“Come find me when that happens, I’ll be there”
What if Kai never became a ninja? What if everyone else followed script, not realizing there was a thread out of place? What happens when an old ghost finds a new purpose for that thread.
And what happens when that thread choses to weave its own fate instead?
(A Kai antihero/villain fic in which he stuck to his original convictions and didn’t ever truly become a ninja. Morro comes along and finds an explosive amount of potential in what he believes is a kindred and powerful spirit. Chaos ensues. A lot of mess and explored dynamics, along with a healthy dose of nuancing current character point I either felt were under-discussed or thought would be fun additions. Hope you enjoy!)

Summary
A new girl named Katie starts at Violet's school, but she seems a little off. Not necessarily bad off; just off. And Violet is not the only one who sees her this way. On top of that, when they are assigned a group project, Katie seems particularly interested in a certain topic that might threaten Violet and her family.
Meanwhile, Katie is a very intelligent girl who just started in a public school after being homeschooled her entire life. She always seems to be a little standoffish towards people, not wanting to get close to them. She, of course, has her reasons for this. Katie enjoys spending time with Violet; however, there is a chance she could have ulterior motives.
Are these motives bad or simply misguided? And what might her reasoning for these be? Is there more to her story, and the story of countless supers, for that matter? And what happens when an even worse enemy than before returns with an even worse artillery?
Will the Incredibles be able to work together with their new acquaintance? And will they finally be able to come to an understanding of each other?

Summary
On November 28, 1906, Light Yagami watched as a notebook fell from the sky. On the eighth of April in 1907, he was turned into a vampire by L Lawliet, and many would be inclined to say that the world was forever changed.
On September 4, 1985, Kiyomi Takada interviewed Light Yagami for the first time. To say that it ended poorly would be a significant understatement, and her opinion of Kira was soured from that moment on. Now, forty years later, Light has reached out to her requesting that she interview him again. This time, he vows to give the full, unadulterated story of his life, and he is prepared to finally tell the truth and all that comes with it.
The truth may often be obscured by time and the constraints of memory, but it must make itself known eventually. And the truth of Light Yagami's life is no pleasant thing at all.

Two lights on the mantle: one grief the family learned to pronounce, and another they keep behind their teeth. Dinner is cheerful, almost. The ornaments shine. Somewhere between carols and coffee, the truth edges closer to the table.
“I’m going to light two.”
Arizona can’t decide if it’s faith, denial, or both.

Summary
Der neue Schüler der Mystischen Mächte stach eigentlich nicht so sehr heraus, außer dass er ein gewisses Talent für Magie zu haben schien. Wong freute sich jedenfalls sehr über einen Schüler, der gewillt war zu lernen.
Ein Geheimnis zu wahren, um einmal etwas Besonderes, anstatt ein Ärgernis zu sein, stand ihm gut. Freunde zu haben auch.
Woanders auf der Welt wurde ein verzweifelter Junge ohne Erinnerung von ein paar Helden aufgegabelt und zerbrach sich den Kopf, um zu verstehen, worauf niemand ihm Antworten geben konnte oder wollte.ODER
Billy geht nach dem Hexenweg als William Kaplan zum Kamar-Taj.
