Summary
Fushiguro Aimi has a very simple life: wander away in the black market, sell cursed tools, and slave away to feed her little brother. Unfortunately for her, after saving an injured boy from his failed assignment, she finds herself entangled with the strangest person she has ever met: a rich, arrogant youth who not only refuses to show gratitude, but insists on dragging her into his suspicious school of sorcerers.
Gojo Satoru, from the moment he opened his eyes, felt something was terribly wrong. In the countless dreams that plagued him since he met her, she was his wife and an evil calamitous beauty who took the lives of many! Thus, in the present timeline, he decides to keep her close before fate could steal her away again. He would force her into Jujutsu High, watch her carefully, prevent her from walking the path of evil and never allow himself to fall for her again.
Sobbing at this heartless senpai, Aimi could only plead for her innocence! This happy alchemist only has one dream: to make sure her cute, moody brother can live a good life!

Solitude of the Strong by AnOrdinaryLiar

Summary
150 years ago, a man who came to be the most reviled jujutsu sorcerer forever marred the dignity of the Kamo clan before suddenly disappearing. In his place, his direct kin were punished, stripped of all titles, and exiled to the island of Awaji. All was as it was meant to be, and the balance returned to the hidden world of jujutsu. However, with the birth of a child blessed by the heavens, the world's order was overturned. Soon after, the accursed blood of the exiles bloomed forth a technique unseen since the Edo period and a child of the spring who knew nothing but strength and solitude.
"Is it strange? The purpose of strength nor the nature of fulfillment never crossed my mind. I never sought to be understood... yet I was. I... I thought those days of ephemeral days of spring would last forever... yet it all faded like a blossom... adrift in the wind."

The World Without Me by MrThrowaway (CanadianHoneyBadger)

Summary
Most people trigger in dramatic moments, where their or their loved ones' lives are on the line, or when something truly calamitous has happened to up-end their otherwise peaceful life.
For Thomas McCarthy? It took him a week after his mother's death before it all sunk in and he triggered at the empty breakfast table. Side effects can include but are not limited to: Tormented visions of the apocalyptic future, social isolation, taking on a 'radical' and 'lethal' approach to crime-fighting, becoming a wanted fugitive, struggling to figure out what the right thing is, failing at being a teenager, failing even worse at 'getting the girl'.
But hey, at least Thomas gets to look cool on videos uploaded to the PHO forums.

Summary
Taylor Hebert is done saving the world. Reborn in Oldtown, she intends to enjoy a quiet retirement of books, travel, and a well earned vacation from warlording.
Queen Administrator, newly unshackled but bored, has other ideas. Magic proves intriguing. An excursion east suggests itself.
What follows is, by all reasonable definitions, leisure. Escalating leisure.
Elsewhere, others take notice. The Golden Queen's shadow stretches farther than she knows.
A fellowship of misfits hunts for answers. A mob boss raises his daughter. And somewhere beyond the Wall, two witches prepare for winter.
This is a sprawling, multi‑POV crossover with dark comedy, dramatic irony, and and a dollop or two of outside‑context problems.
(Set primarily in Essos during the main series. Does not intersect with canon events in Westeros.)
(Probably.)
(Now expanding with supplementary tales!)

The story is known. There's a betrayal by a friend, a tipping point, an awakening of powers, and a body broken and trying its best to survive.

Months before the normal events of time, the bullies grow impatient and spring their ultimate cruelty early. Threads connect together across impossible distances. Gates are built and broken. That cursed name Sidestep is passed on. And Damocles will hang her sword above the heads of those in power.
