Summary
Of a child who was once a man, and a man who was once a child.
Killian Jones is trapped in Neverland with a shadow and a man-child who doesn't know how to be a man or a child.
Pan is a lonely, broken thing, twisted by the Shadow, and poisoned by the unfettered power within him. As a man, he could never figure out who he really was, and now as a child he fights hard to hold onto what he thinks he is and can be, but somewhere under all that fantasy and bravado and anger, he's as much of a lost boy as any of the children on the island.
It is easy to seduce children into worship, into loving a childlike god, and surrendering themselves to unconditional loyalty, but a man is more discerning; he knows fear and pain and betrayal, and he knows the faces of love and hate too well to give anything of himself freely.

Summary
I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.
― Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (adapted)
A Sherlock/Frankenstein fusion, in which one is satisfied, and indulgence goes unneeded. -

Summary
Eighteen years ago, Frisk left the Underground, but there was another barrier to face before the monsters were freed. When Frisk comes back as an adult though, she must pass tests that 'destroy her human soul' in order to save the monsters, and Toriel won't allow it. Banished and unable to return, Frisk is stuck back on the surface.
Knowing that freedom can only be won with 'humanity', Sans goes to the surface to trade Frisk some of his 'monster' for her 'humanity', so he can help too. However, neither of them know where these tests will lead . . . or how far the truth really goes.
A barrier is more than a gateway . . .

As the Valar attempt to keep and contain their Maiar from succumbing to Melkor’s might, they fail to realize that it only takes one to destroy their efforts from within.

Summary
Leaving the town of Derry wasn't a particularly pleasing decision for it, as it'd become accustomed to the town and knew all of its nooks and crannies like the back of its hands. It enjoyed spreading its insidious influence across the town ever since the first of its prey decided to settle down in the area, devouring the first ignorant settlers before slumbering and waking up to the delight of a thriving little town that steadily expanded over the centuries, regardless of how often and messily it fed. It would appear, wreck mayhem and death and then feed until it was fat and sleepy, before waking again a few decades later to do much the same. It enjoyed sinking its mental influence among the humans, terrorizing the young and fattening them with fear, causing the adults to treat each other cruelly, to have mothers strangle their children, to have fathers brutalize their daughters.
Truly, it was fond of Derry.
However it was nothing if not flexible.

Summary
AN: Apparently, internalized guilt and angsty Flint wanted me to write about him, so I did. This is set during Season 3 of Black Sails. I plan on adding more tags as I update.
***A few warnings...
This fic is not going to paint any one character as perfect or completely evil. I do not believe in making any character simpler than what they truly can be. Grey morality is what feeds this fic for me. If you don't like, cool. If you like, great. This is just my interpretation.
There will be depictions of darker sadomasochism and dubious consent. When chapters with those come up, I will let you know of it.
Enjoy!***Flint's breath caught in his chest at the feel of Silver’s hold on him then. Silver knew nothing of the truth, of what he truly was. A wretch, a vile thing that was not worthy of the love of those he cared for. Everything he touched burned in his hold. He was a flame that consumed all and left nothing behind but singed and charred remains.
But Silver’s words, wrapped in vulnerability. Could he believe them?

Bookmarker's Notes
This is a super lovely fic that I am emotionally invested in and want to see completed. It's a rich world with rich characters (metaphorically speaking although the Riddles, Malfoys, Blacks and others have quite a bit of money). What will happen with werewolf rights and welfare, house elf slavery, vaccines, the great depression, and more? Will the cute kids turn our alright and will Tom Riddle Senior pave the way for his son (all the while protecting and working for muggle and squib rights on the sly)? And will Tom ever be able to trust this witch who smells like a crackling storm?

Summary
This is the second installment in the Always Red series.
You are an ex-Jedi traveling with ex-Inquisitor Cal Kestis on a road of murder and mayhem in this Fallen Order AU. What's the difference between justice and revenge? You and your crew walk the fine line of it and together you grow and change for better and worse.
"Clouds of red dust fill the air when the Pursuit touches down. The sun is setting and in every direction the world is lit up in your favorite color. As you connect with the ground for the first time you feel that this is a place you have visited many times in your dreams. Strength and connectivity move up through the sole of your boot and spreads in your body like a fresh breath, filling you with a relief you hadn't known you were in need of. It's a feeling of returning even when you've never been to Dathomir before today. Coupled with the wave of comfort is the slight hum of a headache blossoming in your skull...or is it nausea in your stomach?
“Can you feel that?” Cal asks with a mighty exhale. “The dark side is strong here.”

Summary
“And now we go to the third piece,” Takemichi resumed his monologue after a lengthy pause. “The fact that I can’t time leap now. I can’t because you don’t want to change the past. Because you have me right now where you want me – with you, right? The funny thing is, you didn’t need to kidnap me and keep me here. I would’ve come to you myself. Just like I always did.”
As a consequence of accidentally grabbing Mikey’s hand after the disastrous Battle of Three Deities, Takemichi wakes up in the weirdest of futures. The future where he is Mikey’s prisoner but who’s treated especially nicely with dorayakis to eat and mangas to read. The future where Mikey jokes with him instead of shooting him. The future where Mikey looks, like, really good. What exactly did Takemichi even manage to change during his last failure of a time leap for everything to end up like this!?

Bookmarker's Notes
This is so far one of the best Tokyo Revengers fic I've ever read! I've seen several fics with Dead Dove warning, it's dark, really dark, and I love it, but sometimes I need something refreshing. Then I found other fics with unrealistically fluffy story, with Bonten, forgetting that they're crime organization. However, Kantou Manji in this fic is amazing! It's a perfect blend of the dark (the drugs dealing activities, strip clubs, killing, and stuff) and fluffy things (friends just being friends, the fact that they're not all the time scary sadistic criminal). 10/10 fic for me!

“W-What do you- I mean can I- are you here to rob us?” The person managed to stammer out.
Siren snorted. “No. I’m just here to order some food.”
“Wh-What about him?” The cashier asked, glancing at Tommy. “Did you- did you kidnap him?”
“I mean… yeah, let’s go with that in case this ends up on the news,” Siren shrugged, looking back at Tommy. “I kidnapped you, right?”
“Yeah, sure,” Tommy agreed, knowing that if they said he was kidnapped, it would keep people from getting suspicious of why he was seen in public with Siren. “Anyway, can I get the chicken nuggets happy meal, with a coke?”
or, how Tommy—who is not a hero, or a villain, or even a vigilante—saves the life of one of L'Manberg's most feared supervillains, and accidentally ends up becoming the resident doctor for every supervillain in town (and maybe gets a family along the way too).

Summary
One summer day, he sees Voldemort on his neighbor's roof. And it all came crashing down.
Armed with a stabbed diary that oddly brings him comfort and a ring that feels important, Harry is ill-equipped for the summer ahead.
On his neighbour’s roof, staring directly at him, was Voldemort.
It would be comical if it wasn’t for the struggling muggle teen in his grasp.
Mockingly, Voldemort held up a scrap of parchment. ‘Surrender yourself, or the muggle perishes.’
Harry ducked away from the glass and got his writing supplies out. He held the parchment to the wall as he wrote, with a quill this time.
‘I don’t negotiate with terrorists. I’m going back to bed.’
He wiggled it into the corner and left the sight of the window. There was a strangled scream he tried to block out. In bed, he piled his blanket over his ears. Bottom of the line, he needed sleep.
And who was he to intervene? Every damned time he did, the person ended up dead or injured. Cedric, Sirius, and countless other friends had suffered under his supervision.
Harry was done playing saviour.
