Summary
If you’ve wondered what type of love is worthy of war –
May I present to you a cross-sectional analysis on the anatomy of the Second Wizarding War.On a chessboard stretching across Wizarding England a villain is reincarnated and an assassin is anointed. A kingmaker is assassinated and a hero is appointed. Along ever-widening fault lines, every wand is drawn to battle across a chequered board steeped in blood turned black.
Fathers. Mothers. Mentors. Sons. Daughters. Lovers.
The Chosen Ones. And those who choose them.
A villain. A hero. A kingmaker.Heroes are only ever as good as their last win. Villains are only ever as good as their last kill.
If love is war – then this is a love story.--
Note: Long-time reader, first time writer. 25/50-ish chapters are already written. I hope to post 1x/week, Fridays. Might intermittently add multiple chapters. -

Summary
Wen Ruohan, the Supreme Overlord of Qishan Wen, has returned. After a devastating defeat in the Sunshot Campaign and a mysterious assassination that cut his life short, he wakes up in the cold jade throne of Nightless City, years before the first spark of war.
He remembers the taste of defeat. He remembers the Wei Wuxian who shook the foundations of his empire. But this time, he is no longer bored. In this second life, he chooses not to simply eliminate the variable known as the Yiling Patriarch. Instead, he finds a much more entertaining pursuit: to claim the boy before the world can break him—or to break him personally until he has nowhere else to turn.
At Cloud Recesses, an unsuspecting Wei Wuxian meets the eyes of the Great Sect Leader Wen. He doesn’t know of the war to come, nor the darkness Wen Ruohan has planned for him.
As the sun rises for the second time, the shadow it casts over the cultivation world is longer, deeper, and far more predatory. In a world where the hunter knows the future, can the prey ever truly escape?

Summary
"What better way to keep you in line than to use the people you care so much about as collateral," Maul almost smiled. "Love is a weakness that will always be ones undoing, my lady. And your love for your people is incontrovertible."
"If you are concerned so much about my behaviour then why are you bothering to keep me alive?" She asked, more than a little afraid of the answer. "What use have I for these greater plans?"
"Because, as I said, love is a weakness that can be exploited," Maul knocked a knuckle against the glass door of her cell and the guard opened it. "And you are a weakness of particular interest to me."
—
In which Darth Maul puts a little more thought into how he can use the Duchess Satine in order to hurt Obi-Wan Kenobi. However, unfortunately for him, Satine plans to use the very same tactics to her own advantage.

Summary
Hogwarts is supposed to be familiar. Safe. But for Hermione Granger, returning after the war means stepping into a game she never agreed to. Draco Malfoy has a secret—a list, a point system and the prize: Hermione Granger.
Draco is arrogant, cunning, and intoxicatingly toxic. He lies. He manipulates. He plays with hearts like they’re pieces on a chessboard. But he didn’t expect Hermione to be clever, fierce, and just as ruthless. Eye for eye, heart for heart, she fights him at every turn, and every challenge, every stolen glance, every simmering moment pulls them closer into a game neither wants to end—but neither can control.
In a world of secrets, seduction, and obsession, love is a battlefield.
So who will ruin who first?

Summary
Yugi and his friends agree to visit Atem's home in Montana, where he has spent the last five years, before he moves back to Seattle to live with Yugi. What starts off as a fun trip turns into a deadly and dangerous shadow game, one that is all too familiar to Yugi and Atem. Can they escape the shadow realm again, or will the game break them in every way possible? This is a sequel to my other puzzleshipping fic, Sleepless in Seattle. You don't HAVE to read it to enjoy this one, but it would put some things into context. And I always appreciate a visit!

Summary
Will s Mikem omylem přes vysílačku narazí na pár, který spolu mluví sprostě a začnou si ze srandy navzájem recitovat některé fráze, které odposlechli. To, co nejdřív začne jako vtip, se velmi brzy zvrhne a po nějaké době s tím nemůžou přestat — a nesmí o tom nikomu říct.
Neboli:
Mike a Will spolu začnou jen tak z prdele mluvit sprostě. Ani jednoho z nich však nenapadne, že je to začne doopravdy vzrušovat.

Summary
“Are you trying to destroy me, Yuyan?" The golden boy’s voice wasn't filled with fear, but a dark, breathless fascination.
"You made a monster. Now you have to live with him," Yuyan smiled, his beautiful face perfectly crafted for this very moment.Seven years ago, Xu Zhifan—the Nation's Heartthrob—staged a deadly fire just to win a sick bet. He wanted to see if the boy who loved him would walk into the flames to save him. The boy did.
He thought the boy died in the ashes. He was wrong. Lin Yuyan survived. He built a new face from the ruins of the old one, spending seven years sculpting himself into exactly what Xu Zhifan finds beautiful.Now, Yuyan has returned with a singular, terrifying goal: To dismantle Zhifan's perfect life piece by piece. Career . Freedom. Sanity. Yuyan controls the narrative, the leaks, the slow erosion of a golden reputation. He is patient in the way only people who have lost everything can be. He expects the golden boy to break. He expects him to beg. But as the trap finally snaps shut, Yuyan realizes a terrifying truth: Zhifan isn't breaking. He's fascinated. And the monster Yuyan came back to destroy might just fall in love with the cage.

Summary
“Everything could pass through it. Everything except him.”
My Hero Academia chapter 376 divergence: Trapped within a twenty-five-meter perimeter of smooth, invisible dome, Izuku is entirely cut off from the fate of his friends, his school, and his world. On the shaded back porch of a luxury cabin, All For One sits comfortably in a plush wooden chair, sipping from a mug and watching Izuku’s frantic, desperate circuits along the barrier. A haunting look at a hero reduced to a captive prize, pacing the edge of a gilded cage while the monster who won the game smiles from the shadows.

Summary
Draco stared from across the room, watching his sister, Hermione Granger, in the arms of another man, the second one in a week.
She was beautiful. Magnetic. So perfect that it almost hurt to look at her.
And a total whore.
His fingers squeezed at his sides. The things he wanted to do to her.
The things he would do to her.
Someday.
That was a promise.

…Selbst jetzt, wo Karow gefesselt auf dem staubigen Boden saß und ihm das Blut von der Stirn tropfte, wirkte er immer noch so gefasst. Beinahe belustigt, als wäre das alles nur ein dämliches Spiel, in welchem er definitiv als Gewinner herausgehen würde…
Es hätte so einfach sein sollen. Adam brauchte nur diese verdammte Adresse, um seinen Boss vor dem Gefängnis zu bewahren. Unter den Blicken Robert Karows schien ihm die Kontrolle jedoch immer mehr zu entgleiten…

Summary
"You’ve changed, Y-kun."
"You’ve finally recognised yourself, haven’t you… Kira?"
One says it like a warning.
The other says it like devotion.
Wammy’s House was supposed to create geniuses. Instead, it created something far worse.
♰
After finding the Death Note at seventeen, Light Yagami begins killing criminals from inside Wammy’s House under the name Kira. Unfortunately for him, L notices the pattern far sooner than expected, while Beyond Birthday returns looking at Light like he’s something holy instead of human.
Now trapped between a detective trying to expose him and a murderer who understands him too well, Light is beginning to realise that being seen might be more dangerous than being caught. -

Summary
Rather than being equally disturbed, Rai was looking unnervingly triumphant again, a smirk curling his lips as he inspected the dead man's inner cavity. His hand reached out to caress the stilled heart, fingers trembling ever so slightly, and a short laugh bubbled from his lips, as if he couldn't help himself. Lloyd was unable to hold it in any longer.
"What - are you - doing?!" he burst out in a trembling voice, and finally Rai turned to look at him, his hand leaving the man. Specks of blood dotted his face, probably from killing some of the other bandits, but his eyes shone.
Or: A somewhat messed up, calculating guy navigates the world of Symphonia, realizing that he has memories of the future from another life, and starts to realize maybe he can fix the world better than the original game. He doesn’t expect to actually start caring about anyone, much less Lloyd.
Currently on hiatus due to life stuff, but is fully plotted to the end and I plan to return when I have time.
Act 1 is now complete as of chapter 47!
