character study

"We're really sorry," his father says, in a teary-eyed, wobbly way. "But your friend, Izuku, he's... He's gone, son." Katsuki can do nothing but blink up at them for moments that feel like an eternity, eyes darting between both his parents in obvious confusion, disbelief, and, more than anything, indignation. "What the fuck are you two talking about? The damn nerd is standing right beside you!" During a battle, Midoriya gets hit by a villain whose quirk detaches his soul from his body. Stuck in a ghost-like state, the boy enters a race against time in order to save himself from permanently dying. Much to his luck - or lack of it -, the only person who can see and talk to him in this state is no one other than Kacchan. Alternatively: Deku and Kacchan are soulbound.

All it takes is one look in a mirror and an ill-advised attempt to shatter it, before an embittered Draco Malfoy fresh out of Azkaban is sent back into his body on the day he gets his Hogwarts letter. Suddenly, Draco has an unwanted second chance, with a Sorting Hat that doesn't know what to do with him, a certain Muggleborn who won't leave his study table alone, and green eyes he just can't get out of his head. And then there's his new wand, whose choice of him could just mark him as every bit as dark a wizard as his name means he should be.

Bakugou is spiraling in the aftermath of Kamino and his friends are starting to notice. He's stubborn, aggressively independent, and less than willing to dig into his past, but after a breakdown that ends with a painfull secret revealed, he starts to get help. Whether he likes it or not. Meanwhile, a new kind of villain threatens an uneasy peace following the loss of Allmight. Whispers build as a new narrative slowly takes shape:Hero society needs to change. Feat.

"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope." (From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence) This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

A week has passed since the angels were forced to retreat and the Extermination was cancelled; the Hazbin Hotel has been rebuilt, peace reigns again, and although the demons still seem reluctant to embark on the path of redemption Charlie is optimistic about the future. That is, at least until an unexpected guest shows up at her door asking for help, revealing the first of a long series of secrets that Heaven and Hell have kept for centuries. With the discovery that redemption is possible, the return of an enemy who was thought to be defeated, the emergence of new threats, Hell which increasingly descends into chaos where the most evil are the masters, and more and more hidden truths that come to light, what will happen to the Hazbin Hotel? Will Charlie and her friends be able to at least save themselves, or will they be consumed by the anarchy into which the entire cosmos is slowly sinking? This fanfiction has:-) Bible lore;-) Adam development;-) Charlie development;-) Adam backstory;-) Some Blitz development;-) New angels, including Michael;-) Lilith will appear;-) The Sins will appear;-) The Vees will be villains;And many more.

“Anyway,” Zoro continued amid Sanji’s silence, “I’m not going to die.” Sanji made a scoffing sound. “You can’t just decide that, asshole,” he said, tying off the thread. He trailed his fingertips over the jagged seam, checking for any imperfections. “You can’t cheat death.” “We’ll see.” To Sanji, Zoro is an enigma. An infuriating one, but one he is drawn to nonetheless. For as much self-assurance Zoro appears to have, Sanji has about as much self-doubt. If he can just understand what goes on inside that mossy head of his, maybe he can figure a few things out about himself as well. Discovering that there might be something other than rivalry brewing between them, is something Sanji isn't quite prepared for. (Rated M for explicit language, canon-typical violence and sexual content for later chapters).

The Clone Wars were an aberration. They were never supposed to happen. Rex and Ahsoka, joined in the past by Fives & Echo, work to use their chance to circumvent the dark plans of Sidious, juggling their efforts to save the future with the needs of maintaining their security in the past. The Clones who work with them, the Jedi at large, and even some elements of the Senate are beginning to notice that something is Not Quite Right about the Jedi Padawan who isn't, and threats loom in every shadow. Some of them, the time-travelers know are coming, but others spring up in their midst without warning, and still others stem from the changes they're making to the future. YEAR 2 covers the events of 21BBY, sticking as close to the canon timeline as Year 1, but with the focus more on the relationships between clones, Jedi, the Republic and others. The Endgame IS Rexsoka, but that is still a LONG way off, though the beginnings of pining will be much more prominent in this installment than in the first one. You do NOT have to read Year 1, but there may be a few blips of confusion.

"Will you tell me about your fight against Sato... Sa-to-ru?" Sukuna inhales with annoyance, almost on the verge of tearing the brat apart for making useless requests. "Do you want to hear for the thousandth time how I killed him?" Naruto smiles so brightly that it almost gives him the feeling that he has a heart. It's disgusting. "Suku-nii is amazing, I'll be as strong as you! Beleave it!" "Don't call me like that." "Suku-nii!" Sukuna only puts up with it because he needs the child's body to be at the top of the world. He needs him to grow up, mature and become stronger. He doesn't care about him for anything else. He doesn't.

Oh. Oh God. I am in Twilight. Not only am I in Twilight, I am Bella Swan. Not just a random outsider, like maybe a grocery bagger who knows a little too much about the family who shops every week but doesn’t eat. Not some unassuming teacher who knows all the good gossip because people don’t pay enough attention to her when she’s in the same room. Not anyone who wouldn’t immediately catch the attention of the family of literal vampires who live in this tiny town. But Bella Swan. No way. There was absolutely no fucking way. Or How different Twilight would be if it weren't written by a repressed Mormon woman.

On an unsuspecting night, a certain someone Jing Yuan had thought had long forgotten him returned with an odd request. That fateful night marked the beginning of a cycle of remembrance and oblivion; love and ruin, joy and sorrow.And Jing Yuan accepts it. Cherishes it. He held it with a lover's embrace--even if he knows that it will be his undoing.

The grounds around the gates of Watford are burnt. The dining hall stinks of magick. It's three months since the tumultuous end of seventh year—one lonely summer, and six more weeks in a lonelier room—and Baz is finally back. And Simon needs to know why.

Atsushi is still half asleep, one hand holding his cellphone and the other rubbing tears from his eyes as he yawns, when he opens the Agency’s office door. But any last dregs of sleep are chased away by his skyrocketing heart rate when he realizes Kyouka and Yosano have blades drawn, Kenji is ready to throw the couch, and Kunikida’s gun is raised. At him. Before he can raise his hands to surrender, Dazai’s smooth voice calls out to him in a tone so icy Atsushi is certain has never been directed at him before, “To what do we owe the pleasure of a visit from the Port Mafia’s rabid tiger on this fine morning?” Atsushi’s eyes flick to the open cell in his hand where he sees one unread text message from a contact named “Boss”: Ah, Atsushi-kun! If you would be so kind as to drop by my office at your earliest convenience, that would be much appreciated <3 Fukuzawa wouldn’t use such flowery language or a heart emoji. So who…? Wait. “Port Mafia’s rabid tiger”? This text couldn’t be from Mori, could it? — An ability causes Atsushi and Akutagawa to switch lives, but they are the only two people to remember their true allegiances.

“All right.” Alastor refilled Angel’s glass, expecting he would need it very soon. “I skinned a man alive for talking during The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. I’ve always preferred my meat well done.” He paused to look down at his whiskey, swirling it around like he was checking its contents. “...And I want to kiss you.” Angel scoffed. “Too easy. You seriously think I’d believe that last one?” (Don't play Two Truths and a Lie: it's a tool created by the homosexual agenda).

On the eve of what could be the final and ultimate extermination in Hell, Charlie Morningstar decides to take her own advice, and live the night like it’s her last. With Vaggie.

Astarion had been entombed for years now. ... The desire to leave this place was always strongest in these moments. It was single minded, heavy, it choked his throat and squeezed his chest, he felt full to bursting with this desire. He felt empty. No amount of begging, pleading, or screaming had helped before but still he managed to choke out a single word between useless hiccupping breaths. "Please." For the first time someone answered.

Based off of the fact that Izutsumi canonically uses Chilchuck as a pillow because he's warm...Anyways, they're both touch-starved and Chilchuck's parental instincts get the better of him.

!Spoilers for the game up until chapter 5! The path ahead has to be carved out with occasional violence, but whenever there is a possibility of saving a life, Tav will not hesitate to spare or alter the course of action to save it. When the devil declines a new deal, she is forced to face off against him. But she cannot forgive herself for banishing Raphael back to Cania, where his abusive father is very keen to remind him just how pathetic of an insect he is. The realization of having her life saved by Raphael strengthens her resolve and she ventures to the Eighth layer of Hells. Soon after, Raphael finds himself banished from Hells and bound to a mortal. It is essentially a character study of my favorite bastard from Baldur's Gate 3, while shedding light onto his more mortal side - the one he so desperately tries to reject. It is my headcanon mixed with canon stuff. Enjoy!
