Summary
Five years later, Peter has gotten his college degree and settled into life as a P.E. teacher at Charles' school. He's got his whole routine mapped out: combat training with Erik and Raven in the mornings, running the Baby Mutants ragged on the field until they start planning his assassination in the afternoons, mixed in with calling Hank every variation of "nerd" American slang can provide and staring at Raven's butt when she's too busy to kick him in the throat.
After all the crazy shit he's had to go through, he finds comfort in this new-found stability, even if it means he's officially a Boring Adult who shops for prunes and wheat bread.
And then Wanda blows up a car.

Summary
Snowdin is nice, quiet. The monsters pleasant, friendly, welcoming. That's what I needed, right? That's what Papyrus needed. I'd been everything but pleasant and friendly since we moved. I wasn't always like this. I used to be a half-way decent monster to be around. I had friends, a job and I walked away from it all. But what happened? Why did I feel like we needed to get away from New Home, from the lab? To drag my teenage brother across the underground to escape the haunting shadow around us? Or was it just surrounding me?
Ugh, this was frustratingly familiar. All these questions and no answers. Maybe I really was crazy.

Bookmarker's Notes
“If this is going to be one of those bullshit you’re so young, put it in perspective pep talks—”
“It’s not,” Viktor deadpans. Yuuri’s heart squeezes as he spoons out some genmaicha. “I was twenty when I won my first Grand Prix Final. Twenty-two when I started to win everything. You’re starting out on the top already, and you’re only sixteen.”
A pause. The electric kettle shuts off. Out of the corner of his eye, Yuuri sees Yuri fidget in the armchair. “I thought you said this wasn’t—”
“You have ten years, Yura. Ten years of fighting tooth and nail just to keep getting the same medals at the same competitions, not really satisfied with winning anymore but terrified of the day that you don’t. You have ten more years of trying to stay at the top.” Viktor sighs, running a hand through his hair. “I barely made it three.”

Summary
The best things that ever happened to Lan Qiren were brought to him in the middle of the night by women with perms. First, his nephews, stricken with grief at the death of their parents, then Wei Ying, brought by a harried babysitter when his parents disappeared.
or
There’s no time or space for grief or anything. He takes the children to buy black suits, he leaves them behind in the apartment, twelve-year-old A-Huan assuring him he’s old enough to be left alone with his brother, to go to their house and oversee it being packed up, the furniture sold, the personal effects of his brother and his wife put in storage.
There’s no room for decisions or education. Only him sitting at his table with two children, eating in silence, only hearing A-Huan whispering to his brother in the middle of the night, only the three of them all tangled up together with grief and confusion and pain.
And the certainty that he isn’t… that he won’t be a good parent.

Bookmarker's Notes
POV: Kurt
MCs: Kurt, Blaine, Rachel, Santana
Setting: Ohio/NYC
Rating: MTags: Reunion; S4-5 fix-it; post-the breakup; learning to communicate; growing pains; fic in letters and messages; hard conversations
From the comments: In many ways, this story feels like the fix-it I always wanted but never got in full (and isn't it kind of amazing--and terrifying--that these two left such a mark on our hearts that even now, nearly a decade later, it still feels as though there are Klaine-shaped wounds left to heal??) I'm extremely impressed by what you were able to accomplish in a relatively short piece, and even more impressed that you managed to slide this into season five without actually having any prophetic knowledge of what was waiting for us after the S4 hiatus. I love how you captured their innocence (and their not-innocence), which I suppose is more youthfulness and hope than anything else--whatever it is, it felt SO true to the Kurt and Blaine that existed at this point in their journey that it fully transported me back to that time in a way I haven't experienced in a while.

Summary
"What the fuck is this," he'd finally asked, and there was something in his voice that Kirishima wasn't able to make out -- worry?
"I'm leaving! You know, after we graduate. I was going to travel!" Kirishima's fingers bump into the hard, worn sides of his cleats under his bed and he drags them out. His lucky pair, the crimson ones. He's busy fussing over the laces and he misses the blanching of Bakugou's expression. When there's no reply, he had looked up. "You wanna come?"

Summary
He still doesn’t know what love is, whether it’s supposed to feel good or supposed to hurt. Whether it’s something he owes to someone or if it’s something he chooses to give away for free. He’s not any wiser now as a twenty-year-old than he was when he was six.
And nothing’s changed – because he still thinks that whatever the definition of love turns out to be, it must start or end with Namjoon.
Seokjin doesn’t think his name belongs in that definition.
Namjoon deserves to be loved. Seokjin just doesn’t think he’s the one who owes it to him.

Summary
""I always think about you," Castiel said, cheeks coloring the instant the sentence left him. Dean's hand stilled where he'd been searching for another rock, shoulders becoming tense. Cas hoped that the light sunburn he'd picked up helping with his dad's wife's garden was enough to mask his embarrassment. "I think about all of you guys," he added, mouth suddenly very dry, and head very empty.
Dean relaxed, picking up the rock and tossing it over. "Yeah, man, our group's really the best."
God bless Dean Winchester and his willingness to overlook Castiel's many, accidental declarations of love."

Katsuki Bakugou is a Quality Watermelon. by Ciro

Summary
"It's hard to know the quality of a person, or a watermelon." - Japanese proverb.
Omega Hitoshi Shinsou HATES Katsuki Bakugou.
The Alpha is so very - Alpha.
Arrogant, abrasive, inconsiderate, and so very very loud.
So when a Quirk accident swaps their powers and forces them together into a sham of Engagement lest they be expelled - he thinks things couldn't get much worse.
Then Aizawa moves them into shared quarters and places them in charge of teaching each other how to control their new powers.
Just how his mentor expects Hitoshi to keep Bakugou in line without his powers he has no idea. Trying to teach the Alpha anything is what started to turn Aizawa's hair grey.
Through the bond they now share Hitoshi starts to feel things, and he keeps catching glimpses of the man behind the Anger.
Slowly Hitoshi starts to learn that maybe there is more to Bakugou than just the rage he presents to the world.
That the big Alpha might just be a quality watermelon after all.

Summary
“Yaoyorozu, can I get a copy of that data?” Iida said, shifting forwards and tugging his phone from his pocket. She nodded.
“I was thinking of making a doc of shared resources,” she said, “and then sharing it with the class. We have to write up our plans for the project anyway, so we can use the document as a starting place.”
“Good plan, Yaoyorozu!” Iida said, volume growing with his happiness. Yaoyorozu smiled at him before returning her attention to Katsuki’s phone. A thought occurred to Katsuki.
“Are we going to showcase the merch?” He asked. The soft murmur of conversation that had arisen while the class reps were talking quieted again.
“I know!” Uraraka gasped. “We should do a fashion show!”
--
Every year, UA's second year hero course students work together with the business course students on a community service project. Katsuki is cornered by the class to put on a fashion show. They've already decided to create a merchandise line, where the proceeds go to local charities. But Katsuki has to navigate organizing the show along with his own weird relationships with Deku and IcyHot and - is that a fucking crush on Iida?

“What happened to Blasty?” Shinsou asks, taking a sip of his drink. He eyes the way Bakugou is drooling onto Kirishima’s shoulder. “Holy shit, is he drunk?’
“No, he’s not drunk,” he replies, hoisting his friend a little higher so he can get a better grip around his thighs. Bakugou must notice the movement because he buries his face further into Kirishima neck. Oh fuck, his lips are touching his skin and his breath is so h- stop that. “He had his teeth out.”

Large swaths of Deku green paint the covers.
She hasn’t seen Midoriya since his graduation two months ago.

After a botched witch hunt, Cas ends up an infant; it's strange to see their once all-powerful, indestructible friend so small, so helpless.
It's even stranger to see Dean look at Cas like that--like he's cradling the whole world in his arms.
Sam's trying to track down the witch, or find a cure, to get Cas back. But it's kind of difficult with all these intruding thoughts that never go away; the kind that make him step back and question everything he thought he knew of Dean and Cas's relationship.
