Summary
Thirteen is too young to gain eight years of memories that might come to pass--especially when you don't even know what to do with yourself in the present. But when the future is that bloody and dark, do you have any choice but to try to change it?
He remembers the absolute agony of the doctors trying to save him, which finally sent him into blissful unconsciousness—
—except he doesn’t remember any of that. Tsuna’s last memory is of putting his head down on his desk and falling asleep to the sound of the teacher’s droning, thirteen years old and tired of not understanding a word, not of being twenty-two and beloved and dying.

Summary
Of course, a refusal to apologise and a handjob on the floor of a fitting room does not reparations make.
Eggsy left the shop that night with a new chip on the shoulder of his new suit. Harry left the shop that night with the knowledge of what Eggsy looked like flushed and trembling with pleasure under his hands and the certainty that this single torturous taste of what he wanted most was worth living with the possibility that he would not get another.
(Everyone has PTSD and makes bad decisions.)

Summary
“Fuck,” Stiles moans again, squirming desperately against Derek’s crotch. “You gotta - gotta give me something.” He does his best to slide a hand into the back of Derek’s underwear, and gets far enough that his middle finger brushes the base of his spine.
“I am,” Derek says, reaching back to grab Stiles by the wrist. He deftly pins both of the kid’s arms above his head and grins, all teeth.
Stiles goes quiet, then, chest heaving and eyes wide. This is what he’s here for, after all. To feel like he’s doing something dangerous. -

I saw the tears in his eyes, saw the way his shoulders trembled as he tried to keep the sobs at bay, watched as he tried to hold in the pain of his loss. I did the only thing I could think of - I leaned up and pressed my lips against the corner of his mouth. (Originally posted on 2/4/10.)

Summary
COMPLETE; SEQUEL UP IN SERIES;
Meet Allisima Nakamura, a half twilit-hylian with a destiny not even the Goddesses are fully aware of. From her birth to her death, her life has been planned for her... so what will she do when an accidental portal created by the weakened Goddess Hylia takes her back into Hyrule before she is ready? She's just a child, and she quickly finds out that there are no children in wars.
Excerpt:
"You’re an odd one, aren’t you little girl?” Allisima blinked and looked up at the green skinned man in front of her. “Where are your parents?”
“Papa’s gone,” She answered, faintly recalling that he looked familiar, but she didn’t know how or why. “Mama’s far away.”
“How old are you?”
“I’m seven, almost eight!” She exclaimed proudly, momentarily forgetting about her chest before the pain forced her to remember. She winced and sniffed, tears pricking at her eyes.
“Come here, child. Let me see to your wounds.”
Mother had warned her about strangers… but he was familiar… and felt kind… surely he was okay?Series

Potter has fame and fortune and posh clothes and all he wants is a simple life. Draco has a flat and a cat and a steady job and all he wants is a complicated life.

Do I know this fandom or it’s characters? No. Is this still some deeply intriguing and masterful writing ability that leaves a hole in my soul? Yes.

Bookmarker's Notes
Adam tracks down Warlock and takes him to see Aziraphale and Crowley, but fails to inform any of the parties involved and the surprise is not received well... at all. Instead of the joy he expected, he encounters grief, regret and pain. Commence considerable angst all around.
Hurt Warlock, hurt Crowley, hurt Aziraphale, confused Adam

“You don’t know me, do you?” Waylon asked, eyes squinted in disbelief.
Eddie smiled a little, looking away toward the door. Toward the security guard behind it maybe. There was confusion in his eyes. Like the doctor said there would be.
