Flowers Bloom Best in the Storm by Katastrophe94

Summary
Reset. The power to alter fate.
Determination. The power to overcome any obstacle.
These are powers awoken only in the most determined of humans. And it is these powers that set this story into motion.
Two separate lives, seemingly by happenstance, become tied together in ways none could have foreseen. Two separate stories, once having nothing to do with each other, become bound by strings even stronger than fate. And yet, as the darkness deepens and past tragedies are shed in new and revealing lights, these two sides may be the only thing that can stop a brewing plot that will lead to calamity.
But perhaps, with just enough determination, not only may the world be saved . . . but the souls of those left behind might find salvation as well.

Summary
In the underground scene, the stranger was simply known as ‘V’.
Meeting him first hand, Jungkook could see why people would call him the monster in disguise.
At first glance, V looked docile, calm, normal. But as Jungkook got closer and the older male’s face got illuminated in the streetlight, Jungkook immediately felt a cold shiver run down his spine. His eyes were intense; deep brown orbs fixated on Jungkook’s every move, like a predator waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Jungkook had never considered himself prey.
Until now.

…On the first day, everything rockets down.
Papyrus doesn’t understand at once. How can he? The morning starts pretty normal. But then it just rockets down, and, clearly, when you see an avalanche incoming, there are only three ways for you to behave. You can try to run. You can try to close your eyes and tell yourself that it’s all just a dream. Or you can face the avalanche like a Viking before his rightful Valhalla, with a ski pole in the hand, screaming: "FIGHT ME!!!"
...it doesn’t really matter, of course. But sometimes the ends are much less significant than the means.Series

The Court of Ruby and Obsidian by omegaling
Fandoms: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)
14 Jun 2017
Tags
Summary
The current head of the Snoke dynasty is ready to name a successor, and Kylo Ren, one of his most loyal and desired courtiers, is among his final selection. He has only one more task to complete: find a girl, train her in the arts of the Court, and present her as the future wife of Unkar Plutt to ensure his fealty to Archduke Snoke.
Rey should not have been that girl. She was too wild, too unrefined when she was brought from the working house to be an indentured servant in Snoke’s ancestral keep, but if there’s one thing Kylo cannot resist it’s a challenge. Rey would become his greatest protege, a perfect addition to the Court, and her success will guarantee that Kylo will be named the next Archduke.
But as training Rey progresses, the situation quickly spirals out of control. One by one, Kylo starts to break his own rules.
Never speak unless you have something to say.
Never let your guard down.
And never, ever, fall in love.

Summary
Draco had always known he was different, special even. He didn’t need his parents to tell him that, because they never did.
It was obvious in the way that he could see things that no one else could. He knew things about them that he shouldn’t. The older he got the clearer it became that he was alone in what he could do. Not just in abilities but power, essence, influence. No one could come close.
Until,
Potter.
Draco knew that Potter was different the moment he met him.

Mama had seen the top of Mount Kepler raise into the air and known, suddenly, just how small her life was. She’d been aware of that fact before, killing abomination after abomination, insignificant to the endless stream of time, just another face that happened to stick around a little longer than the rest. But she’d felt it then, as what seemed like the hand of God reached down from the sky and scooped up the earth, as though to forge Lilith and Adam once more from its clay.
And then it fell.

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic was so interesting! I'm pretty particular about H/D AUs, and I thought this one did a really excellent job of explaining what was the same, and what had changed. There are definitely some darker themes in this one, and the sex starts out as extremely dubious, but I really enjoyed watching things evolve and develop between Harry and Draco. The world here was really fascinating and I thought the ending was perfect.
