5 hc- take any one of your aus that doesn't already have it, and add AfOhiko?

*cracks knuckles*

I will try to refrain myself from making it too cursed.

1 - Thanks to an unfortunate and unlikely coincidence brought by yours truly, unbeknownst to pretty much everyone except two characters and soon Izuku, when Izuku makes his jump in time, it's when Sorahiko is desperately trying to break up with All for One. He tried ghosting him. He tried killing him. Nothing works. The bastard just clings to him.

2 - In this AU, Izuku manages to escape AFO because the villain doesn't use his full strength to apprehend him. Izuku runs to Gran Torino's house, asking him for help. To his horror, AFO barges in five seconds after him and screams at Sorahiko that he just met their son from the future and that's why they can't break up.

3 - It's very important to me that you are aware that Sorahiko is in his pajamas and fuzzy slippers when that insane conversation happens. Izuku wonders out loud when All for One had the time to meet another time traveler today only to be informed that he is the secret lovechild. The Todoroki flashback is so intense that he has to sit down. All for One keeps insisting on the fact Izuku looks like the both of them, has multiple quirks, and obviously came specifically to prevent his two dads from breaking up and to make sure he exists in the future.

Izuku and Gran Torino, at the same time: "You are insane."

AFO: "See? He sounds exactly like you!"

4 - Izuku makes a run for the window while they are distracted but AFO grabs him with one hand without even looking back. Nana and Toshi chose this moment to visit. All for One is distracted from his not break-up conversation by the arrival of One for All and is about to lunge towards Nana when Sorahiko takes one for the team and sacrifices himself by kissing AFO. Nana grabs the two kids, currently frozen solid, and run like hell. AFO does not chase them. Nana starts explaining that Sorahiko's bad taste when it comes to men is legendary but Izuku doesn't want to hear a word of it and yeets himself back to the present.

5 - When he returns home, Gran Torino sees his scandalized expression and swore him to secrecy, for Toshinori's sake. It happens that the reason why Toshinori didn't recognize his successor despite meeting him in the past is because he erased all memories on a three days period through sheer strength of will. Nana and Sorahiko made a pact to never remind him what had happened that day and Izuku, to protect All Might's sanity, agrees to do the same.

[Excerpt from Sorrow Beyond Words: Collected Testimony of the War of Wrath, 4th Edition; ed. Elrond Peredhel. Archive of Cîw Annúminas, inaugural collection]

“Simply reaching Menegroth was a struggle. Doriath had become a twisting nightmare of overgrowth and rot and mists, as Morgoth’s power warred with the remains of the Girdle and our old songs. Ai, our home, our haven! I know the name of every holly in Region, before the exile. We found deadfalls surrounded by dozens of animals who’d lain down beside the trees and rotted before they died. Blind moose more antler than flesh staggered towards us even after a dozen arrows. Vines covered in dripping thorns reached for our eyes. The cherry trees were overladen with fruits that smelled like gangrene. Deildhod stumbled into a nest of maddened vipers, and only escaped because their tails were all tangled together into a festering mass and could hardly move. We never saw or heard a single bird. I’m amazed we lost no one in that whole push through Region. No, I speak a lie. I know how we passed through with nothing worse than scrapes. Elrond was with us, and the ghost of Melian’s love still recognized her kin.

“Esgalduin had nearly been dammed by one of Hírilorn’s fallen boles, but the bridge still held. We crossed and reached the ruined gates, wrought twice and broken twice. Within there was only darkness to be seen; we knew not what manner of horrors Morgoth had sent to infest the city, but Ingwion was unwilling to leave them at the rear of his forces as he moved north, if it could be helped. Celeborn stood at Elrond’s right and myself at his left. Far less an honor guard than the heir of Elu Thingol and Melian Besain deserved. Yet in those dark days it was all the honor we could muster. King Dior Eluchíl had known thirty-six summers when he was unrighteously slain. Queen Elwing Nimaew thirty-five when despair took her to the sea. Lord Elrond Peredhel beheld the city of Elu for the first and only time in his twenty-ninth summer.

“Elrond stood before his inheritance and Sang. He sang a lament, for the lost endless years of joy and peace, for deep halls lit by birdsong and echoing with wisdom, for the Forsaken People who awoke the forest and earth with many voices, for the works of beauty never to be seen again on this side of the sea. He sang a promise, that the glory of Menegroth will be remembered in the songs of Middle-Earth for as long as its children endure. He sang thanks, for the protection the halls granted us until it could shelter us no more. As his song at last ceased, I thought I heard nightingales answering him.

“Stars shone on his brow, and his hair glistened as the vault of night, and the memories of our once-eternal bliss in the woods of Thingol’s realm under Elbereth’s gifts arose in my mind. Let Oropher dream of a deep hall for his own; let Celeborn reign where he will at his wife’s side! I knew in my heart, as the echo of nightingale songs faded, that there was no lord or king I would ever stand beside save Elrond Elwingion.

“The living stone in which our kingdom once thrived knew his voice, and at long last laid down its burden and passed. The darkness over Menegroth was lifted, and we went forth into its corpse, and no beast or orc could stand before us. I do not sing of what we found and left behind when we cast down the bridge and gave leave for the river to flood the caves. It is not worth remembering.”

In which Gideon the First finds Wake, kills her, and then absconds with her child.

And in the shadows of his soul, Pyrrha and Wake fight for control of the bomb.

I am SO excited to finally be posting about this -- my part of the first house fic exchange!!

What would happen if, after killing Wake, G1deon had taken the baby with him? What would happen if Wake's revenant soul had followed them? What would happen if Wake had to fight Pyrrha for control of G1deon's body, in a time-loop River battle inspired by The Unwanted Guest?

[gretchenzellerbarnes]

FIC REC FRIDAY #4

His eyes are intent on her. They always are, but never so strong, never so scorching, as when he’s needling for information she’d rather not give.

“I want you to come and …” She sighs. This is more difficult than she had expected it to be, and that’s saying something. She’d expected it to be like pulling teeth, but the feeling is more akin to ripping off an arm. “I want you to come and pretendtodateme.”

There. Done. That wasn’t so hard, was it?

No, not at all.

Klaus’s face smooths over, washed of all emotion. “Would you mind repeating that?”

Guys. Listen. I don't go searching for fake dating AUs. Mostly because I'm not a fan of human AUs. When I'm reading klaroline fanfiction, I'm here for the fantasy element, the age old hybrid falling in love with the blonde baby vampire. Therefore, fake dating AUs just don't really blip up on my radar. But. Guys. Guys. THIS FIC ALRIGHT. THIS FIC HAS OVERHAULED MY ENTIRE BELIEF SYSTEM???? LIKE? IT'S POST-CANON DIVERGENCE???????? YET A FAKE DATING AU????????????? DO YOU SEE THE QUESTION MARKS HERE IT DIDN'T EVEN OCCUR TO ME THIS COULD BE A THING AND YET IT IS AND IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATION TO EVER EXIST?

Anyways. Yeah, go read it.

OR I AM DISOWNING ALL OF YOU

watching return of the king again really did wake up the part of my brain that had two fairly short oneshot concepts spring to life fully formed that more satisfyingly resolved some things to my view and im eyeing them like. hm.

[gentrychild]

What about a version of RAADSC where he went full Anyone (best way to be protected from the Plot is to make friends)?

Or even HTMYF...

Or Remembrance and Izuku time travel to try to derail the Plot early but when he sees AFO, he is distracted trying to kill him (since he is the big bad) and several decades and 647 loops later, AFO still remembers that insane boy who bashed his head with a brick and left him for dead on the side of the road.

[theriverbeyond]

When the time comes, it's almost… anticlimactic. The knife goes in, the blood comes out, the baby dies. And the rock remains unmoved.

my contribution to @tlt-monthly-prompts AUgust theme!!! what if Wake survived long enough to bring her newborn child to the tomb, and killed her. And then the baby did not die.

ft: Canon Typical Unkillable Baby Gideon Nav, Wake entering the ring as a strong contender in Worst Parents TLT Edition, and Gideon having perhaps the most horrible first 48 hours of existence one could have but like what if everything after that actually turned out better for her.

Hi hello, I wasn't the person who requested samifer "my husband" but I just read it and it kinda has me crying?? In a good way, ofc! Could I request samifer & grief? Like the word, or the concept, whichever way your mind takes you. Thank you, love your writing ❣

Oh! Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it!

This prompt was a challenge. A big concept for 100 little words. (Though I’ve proven by now I think that the limit is. Kind of arbitrary. Keep accidentally writing double drabbles instead of regular ones lmao.) but I tried my best to put this one together! Hope it works!

“You will go to Heaven when you die,” Lucifer tells him. Sam gives him an odd look, not because the topic is unwelcome. He just didn’t expect to discuss it over washing dishes. Lucifer leans into him. “I know you worry about it. That you’re too tainted”—never says by me but Sam hears it—“to go anywhere but Hell. But you won’t. I made sure”

“I… Thanks?” Sam says. He regrets it when Lucifer presses closer. He can feel tears soak into his shirt. “Lucifer? What’s wrong?”

And Lucifer won’t tell him that where he’s going, Lucifer can’t follow.

Remembrance of the Rot Goddess

(“Death began with fratricide,” the roots mutter. “‘Thou know’st this tangle in the fabric of it all. ‘Thy burden, like Godwyn’s, was born from a knife borne by thy blood, and the world was shaped at the root of a tree, at the hands of a child, on the blade of thy kin.”)

‘Tis not a thought she should give leave to consider, beyond this: gods should not mourn, for fear of their grief.
