Summary
“Stop endangering yourself on purpose.” Akutagawa snaps at him, face pinched. “Kunikida-san does not enjoy hearing about your insane suicidal exploits via my incident reports.”
Atsushi observes him coolly. His utter lack of expressional shift seems to irritate his partner. “I would’ve thought you’d lead with a thank you, considering I saved your life and all.”
Gray eyes sharpen, a molten kind of righteous anger stirring deep within them. “If you truly thought I’d be appreciative of you putting your life in danger to prolong mine, you are sorely mistaken.”
(Or: Healing is a slow, arduous process, but they’re in the thick of it together.)

Fandoms: The Trials of Apollo - Rick Riordan

Summary
Six months ago, Apollo was cast out of Olympus as a sixteen-year-old mortal as punishment for allowing the prophecy to be revealed too early— even though a prophecy, by design, cannot be “too early,” but he digressed.
Today, a seventeen-year-old boy named Lester Papadopoulos stumbles out of the Empire State building, plants his clammy hands on his bloodstained knees, and promptly anxiety vomits onto the concrete.
(Or: After his trials are over, Apollo chooses to stay mortal. The aftermath is both more and less horrible than he could’ve possibly imagined.)

Summary
Looking at him again… yes, Yue Qingyuan’s initial assumption was correct. His hair is quite a bit shorter, which briefly shocks him again, but his eyes are the same: a dark sort of green that shines the color of fine jade when the light hits it just right. He has a few scars and imperfections, and a pair of half-moon glasses rest on the bridge of his nose— but the way he holds himself, his voice, and the fierce scowl painting his face make him instantly recognizable.
Yue Qingyuan would know his Xiao-Jiu anywhere.
“So,” he begins, in a deceptively calm tone that disguises such familiar annoyance and rage, “what’s this Shang Lei says about you appearing in my apartment out of thin air?”
(Or: Yue Qingyuan crash lands in Shen Yuan and Shang Lei’s 21st century apartment. It’s exactly as absurd as it sounds.)

Summary
But Arthur, wish as he might, was never cut out to be a father. And even if he were, he wouldn’t be the one this poor boy needs.
All he can do is look at the man he never saw Jack Marston become, suddenly as tall as his father and nearly identical to boot. He can’t imagine what could have happened between the gang’s collapse and the hurt, angry, hardened adult he sees chewing at the inside of his cheek.
He doesn’t know what else he can say, beyond: “Oh, Jack.” Dark eyes, in color and in spirit, carefully lift to meet his. “I’m so sorry.”
(Or: Arthur Morgan closes his eyes on a mountain in 1899, only to open them on another in 1914— and he’s in for one of the rudest awakenings of his life.)

Summary
Jack knows he should feel happy for her. Instead, something cold and hollow cries for attention in his chest.
(Momma’s blank stare as she sat in the family room, her hands covered in Pa’s blood. Jack tried helping her clean up, but she could barely look at him, let alone move to the bathroom to wash off the grisly stains.
“Ma?” Jack spoke, and she jumped a little, like she hadn’t seen him there even though he was holding her shaking hands. “I... I can’t carry ‘em by myself.”)
Charlotte looks at him, that pitying look on her face again, and he realizes he’s gone silent. “I’m real happy for you, ma’am.”
He wishes he meant it. He wishes he could feel anything but bitter.
(Jack Marston battles with grief, honor, and whether any of it means a damn thing at all.)

All This Distance Taking Its Toll by HamartiaGrander

Summary
Alistair had been the King of Ferelden for long enough by now that very few things surprised him anymore.
But standing stupidly, the champagne glass half-raised to his lips utterly forgotten, as he watched Morrigan descend the stairs of the Palace in full ballroom regalia, her eyes just as bright and her smirk just as sharp as he remembered? Alistair’s heart could have stopped dead that moment, and it would be less jarring.
~
After a decade apart, Alistair and Morrigan reunite under vastly different circumstances than when they'd first met. They've both changed, but only time will tell if that's enough for them to connect in a way they'd never managed before.

Summary
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, Lady Leandra Amell tried to impress upon her three children, that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife. However she hoped this wisdom would be received by her offspring, Lady Leandra was dismayed to find that it had not had the effect she intended.”
Regency AU. When Miss Merrill attends the Kirkwall public assembly ball, the last man she expects to engage in a dance is Carver Hawke – a single man who has just come into possession of a large fortune. This chance meeting, however, sets them both on a path they never expected.

Summary
Ellie confronts Abby in Santa Barbara, only this time, they talk like the adults they pretend they are.
—
Or:My feelings were hurt rather badly by The Last of Us 2, so this is my response after much contemplation. I wanted to see if I could save Ellie before she loses another piece of herself to the violence she’s been raised by, and I came to this. I have never written a fanfic before, unless you count my weaker moments on Wattpad in 2018. Enjoy!
The title is from the Tyler The Creator song, and inspired by all of The Last of Us edits under that sound on TikTok

Summary
“What the fuck is this?” Mom demanded when Auntie Inko delivered them home from school.
“Honey,” Dad said. “We talked about the swearing.”
Mom rolled her eyes, and Katsuki rolled his too. He knew all of the bad words already and was saying them at school, so it didn’t really matter if they hid them at home.
“Honey,” Mom intoned. “I think this warrants a fuck. Our son has swapped bodies.”
-
At 10 years old, Katsuki and Izuku swap bodies. It doesn't go as badly as expected.
