Summary
A husband robbed from his family as a prize of conquest; a vagabond searching for his home throughout the stars. Ships are born and weapons are grown. The scars of the past have opened up, and the horrors within them come crawling out; the world has changed a lot in a hundred thousand years, and yet our struggles have not.
Love, though, love conquers all...

Summary
"You're so worked up about winning in life and being on top, number 1, that you skip over defining what that even means. Is an academic genius the winner in a room of world-class athletes? When you think about it, are you truly winning against me if you're the only one invested in the competition?
I mean, sure! In a room of 100 people, get 51 on board and you decide what's black and white. But give me a call when you finish probing half of 8 billion people about their life philosophy.
And between you and me, Kiyotaka. If you set your finish line according to other people's wishes, you've already thrown in the towel. You see, unlike the rest of our peers here, I'm not looking to peak in this Highschool. What about you?"
[A crossover between Classroom of the Elite and Assassination Classroom post-Koro-sensei death, featuring an original character and returning ones. All in hopes of a slightly different approach and feel to a COTE Story compared to most Kiyotaka 2.0 ones. ]

Summary
A follow-up to Boats Against The Current that can be understood without reading it. Pre-canon, Velma unwittingly meets the Jets for the first time because Graziella didn’t mention that she didn’t intend for this particular hang-out at Doc’s shop to be just the two of them and forms a connection with Tony.

Summary
Harry Kim, evaluating his professional future aboard a Voyager still facing decades of travel ahead, has decided it’s time to pivot away from the command track toward something new. His friends’ lives are changing, so why shouldn’t his?
Meanwhile, change is something the Doctor hasn’t been able to come by lately. If he’s not just a machine executing a program, why does he feel like he’s stuck making the same mistakes over and over?
Maybe getting Harry’s new counseling career off the ground is exactly what they both need to move forward. Except nothing on Voyager is ever that simple. Long-distance bureaucracy, competing ethical considerations, the crew’s complicated feelings about Harry’s decision, and Voyager’s newest baby all collude to make this “simple” career decision into something more complex than anyone bargained for.

Summary
[Newest updated chapter: #7 AND new chapter up!]
[I'm slowly fixing early chapters while I try to finish the story. Sorry about the wait, this story isn't on hiatus, I just have a lot going on right now!][This is a rollercoaster of emotions with break-ups, misunderstandings, and reconnections. The romance tags are all active at the end. No matter how surprising some developments were, it is still a happy ending for everyone!]
Anne was in the middle of a trip when she was thrown through a portal leading to Faerûn.
With no powers, barely any skills, and only her mind and faint knowledge of the world to help her navigate the perils of the Forgotten Realms, she will have quite the challenge in her hands.[This starts way before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, but we'll get there.]

The School for Good and Evil: Twisted Fates by Wet_Water_91

Summary
Sophie is everything a princess of Good should be—golden-haired, charming, and raised on dreams of fairy-tale endings. Agatha, sharp as a knife and cloaked in shadows, is the kind of girl villains are made of.
But the School for Good and Evil has never made a mistake. It doesn’t care what the villagers whisper. It doesn’t care what the girls believe. It sees past masks, beyond appearances, and straight to the heart's hidden truth.
That's why Sophie belongs in Evil. That's why Agatha belongs in Good.
But what if their story was never that simple?
What if Sophie’s kindness wasn’t just for show? What if Agatha’s anger wasn’t a shield, but a weapon? The rules have always been absolute—one for Good, one for Evil. The mirrors don’t lie. The towers don’t falter.
Yet as their destinies unfold behind the towering doors, an impossible possibility takes shape:
What if the School was wrong all along?
