    Summary

    "They’re not going to go through with the marriage proposal though, right?” Jiang Cheng reasoned. “You’re ours. And surely the Lan sect wouldn’t want a huli jing, let alone the famed Hanguang-jun.”

     

    “Exactly," Wei Wuxian said with a grin. "The Lans are too stuck up to know how to handle someone like me, and they won’t risk forcing their precious Hanguang-jun into such a marriage.”

     

    Or, after the end of the war, Wei Wuxian is offered as the last known huli jing to marry into the Lan royal family. The only problem is that Wei Wuxian has never met the man he's marrying, and he's not sure he'll survive in a palace with over three-thousand rules.

    Summary

    Harry Potter was done.

    All he had ever wanted was a little less time at the Dursleys. Technically, he got his wish after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. But he had been picturing something along the lines of a quiet holiday in Italy, not a stint in Azkaban.

    One year later, Harry is released, only to discover that Italy is still very much not on the table and, somehow, he’s being sent straight back to Privet Drive.

    Fortunately for the plot, Sirius decides that witnessing the murder of a classmate clearly wasn’t enough trauma for one lifetime and drops a small, life-altering detail: Harry’s parentage is not what he thought. And if Harry can survive a basilisk, the Triwizard Tournament, and Umbridge, then surely he can survive a trip to New York to get himself emancipated.

    Because what could possibly go wrong?

    A new job, a government interrogation or two, and an unexpected rivalry over blueberries later, Harry finds himself wondering why everyone makes such a big deal about Tony Stark.

    He’s not going to be that difficult to deal with.

    …Right?

    Summary

    When Midoriya Izuku's quirk came in (a year late) he wasn't expecting for his life to fall apart. He wasn't expecting his quirk to be wings that bursted from his back in the middle of the night. He wasn't expecting his father to make good on his threats to leave. He wasn't expecting for his mother to start hitting him. And he never expected to be abandoned at a police station at six years old.

    At age ten, Izuku found himself in a group home after too many foster homes had rejected him. There, he met Shinso Hitoshi, a boy with a worryingly similar story. They quickly found solace in each other, and soon after, began to sneak out together.

    Three years later, the vigilante duo known only as Nightingale catches the attention of a particular winged hero as well as a hotheaded vigilante. The hero offers a roof over their heads, the vigilante offers them warm meals, and both of them offer love... but after so many adults have proved themselves untrustworthy, the offer seems far too good to be true.

    - OR -

    Izuku and Hitoshi are vigilante brothers that Papa Hawks (TM) and Dad Dabi (TM) just wants to take in cause the poor fledglings really need some love.

    Summary

    They called it the Maw. A ring of blood and ruin. A place for monsters. A home for children who had none.

    Harry Potter never made it to Hogwarts.

    Brought unconscious to the dark alleys of Knockturn, he should’ve died— cold, angry, and forgotten. Instead, he carved out a place for himself with bloodied hands and stolen wands. He built an empire from an abandoned factory, guarded by outcasts and orphans, where creatures fight for food and every day is a struggle. He’s not a boy anymore. Not a hero. Not a victim. He’s a thunderstorm.

    Then, his name comes out of the Goblet of Fire— a name no one should know— he’s dragged back into the world that left him to starve. The world of robes and rules, where boys live in castles and forget the rest exist. He’s not welcome there. He doesn't want to be.

    And yet, in the middle of all this, stands Lord Voldemort— beautiful, terrifyingly human, and wearing a smile like a knife. He offers Harry an alliance. Harry knows better. But monsters recognize each other, don’t they?

    And this time, Harry Potter isn’t here to play by the rules.

    He’s here to burn the house down.
