Summary
Grian stared at his bike. It stopped smoking at least; so he had that going for him. Maybe this was Gods way of warning him. He was a ways away from his home— walking wasn't an option. He was stranded on some interstate in the middle of nowhere with a dead bike and no food, and his backpack that had enough clothes to keep him cool while he rode in the sun.
Music. It wasn't overly loud, but he could hear it.
It was this blue Cadillac, the top down showing the person in it who had equally blue hair. He could do nothing but stare as the car slowed down before stopping in front of him and his dead bike."Having trouble?" the man in the car asked.

Summary
With Harry Potter's life hanging in the balance after a less-than-successful Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger is sent back in time to save the Potters before they are betrayed. Initially promised a quick trip to 1981 and back to a future of peace, Hermione finds herself stuck in the past with a one-way ticket and a landing five years too late.
Now, in 1986, Hermione seeks the help of Remus Lupin to bring down Voldemort before he and his followers can rise again, but she finds that 1986's Remus Lupin is very different from the reserved and kind professor of 1998. This Remus is angry, grieving, and wants nothing to do with a witch who failed to save his chosen family.
They'll have to come together, however, if they want to prevent the Dark Lord's coming resurrection and save a young Harry Potter... and save themselves.

Summary
Hollowbrooke is the kind of town that never forgets you.
The fog sits heavy year-round. Missing posters curl on every telephone pole. At sundown, abandoned buildings sometimes look brand new again, like the past is trying to crawl back through to the present. Strange things have always happened here. Lately they’ve been happening more.
Katsuki Bakugo left once. The town brought him back.
Izuku Midoriya never managed to leave at all.
Seven years after the playground, after the words that finally made one of them stop following the other, they keep colliding in the same empty places. Katsuki still pretends he doesn’t look for green around every corner. Izuku still pretends the sound of Katsuki's voice doesn’t rearrange something vital in his chest. They argue like it still matters. They stand too close. They leave too fast. They both go home and ache over it in alone.
The town can feel the space between them.
It's been feeding on that space for years.
And it's starting to get impatient.- Language:

Spring 1983, New York City. Detectives third grade Christine Cagney & Mary Beth Lacey of the NYPD are partners and good friends. This work explores all aspects of their lives, both on the job and off.
Not yet sure how long this will be; I have written 98 chapters and I anticipate it being at least 200 chapters, maybe more.
If I get subscribers, I will use a regular posting schedule, but until that time, I'm just posting each chapter right after I edit it. -

Daniel Molloy is losing his mind. There's no other explanation for the near-constant feeling of being followed, the paranoia, and the ever-present flashbacks to an interview he has no evidence of ever conducting. Unless he really is being stalked by some sort of supernatural entity.

Summary
1987. New York Admirals Captain Scott Hunter is fifteen seasons deep into the kind of hockey career most players can only dream of and keeping one hell of a secret. He navigates his life in NYC, intimately aware at every turn that a single photograph or a trace of a rumor could end his livelihood.
Kip Grady has never known how to hide. A grad student and early organizer for ACT UP, he spends his days marching through the Village and organizing mutual aid, fighting for a queer community battling for its life against a devastating epidemic. When their paths cross, Scott is forced to consider the limits of his carefully constructed closet and decide if he is finally ready to stand in the light.
OR: Scott and Kip meet in 80s NYC at the height of the AIDS crisis.
Additional Spoilers Here
I promise that these characters do not, at any point, contract HIV: Scott, Kip, Ilya, and Shane.
Scott and Kip, as well as Shane and Ilya, will all have the happiest ending possible given the constraints of the time period.
