Summary
You came to Jackson five years ago, and since then you’ve built something that almost feels like a life. Steady work at the clinic, a roof over your head, the closest thing to safety you’ve known since the world fell apart. It isn’t perfect, but it’s yours.
Then you’re thrown onto patrol, partnered with Tommy’s brooding older brother, Joel Miller — and everything starts to unravel.
He’s moody, stubborn, infuriatingly bossy. He gets under your skin with every order he barks, with every look he gives you like he knows better. He’s also the one man you can’t stop thinking about, no matter how many times he’s made it clear he wants nothing to do with you.
But the longer you’re out there together, the harder it gets to ignore the pull between you. Banter turns to touches, touches to something you swore you wouldn’t want. And as the line between friends and something more begins to blur, you’ll have to decide just how much you’re willing to risk.

Summary
When the flames of the Valyrian gods claimed her for themselves before any unworthy man could claim her as his own, Rhaezael Targaryen gave up the poison-soaked gold of the Red Keep and found comfort among veils and prophecies whispered in blood, dedicating herself to serving her patron goddess rather than sinking into an unhappy marriage that would surely end in a horrible death.
Years later, however, she is surprised by an unusual request from a member of her family whom Rhaezael knew little about beyond the news that reaches Volantis from King's Landing, thus once again changing the threads that weave her destiny as she finds herself traveling to the frozen lands of the north, motivated by blood ties and the whispers of her goddess in her ears.
And when two flames that found comfort in the icy embrace of winter finally came together, the dragons that thrived in the north could only watch and laugh as the snakes dressed in green bit each other.

Summary
It started as an anomaly, a miracle. A single recorded instance — a child in Qingqing City glowing in the dark. Since then, supernatural abilities began popping up all over the globe. The future was uncertain… and so was our world. Corruption spread like wildfire because what is power without greed. Heroes rose and the world learned to worship power wearing a smile.
This world is not fair.
Not all men are created equal.
Some are born powerless. Others are assigned fates they never asked for.
The supernatural abilities were soon referred to as ‘Quirks.’ 80 percent of the population had some kind of special ability. From powerful to trivial. Naturally, the society of superhumans became our reality. They taught control. They talked about responsibility, about hope. Hope is a crutch for those unwilling to take.
When power moves faster than intention, theory is useless.
Ever since he was a kid… John knew this.
Still, he wanted to be a hero.
He wanted to be just like those on the screen.
Saving people with a fearless smile.
He'd soon learn not everyone could be saved and even fewer deserved to be.

When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he noticed was that his head no longer felt woozy like before. Yes! Dabi thought, her quirk worked, now we can get the fuck out of here! Then he noticed Eri standing above him, horror on her face and tears in her eyes.
Oh shit, what happened?
He was answered pretty quickly when he propped himself on his elbows and saw the size of his body, or the lack of size.
He was tiny.
The kind of tiny you are in your younger years, when you're still going through puberty and your voice still hasn't broken yet.
The kind of tiny you are when your father decides you're worthless now because his new successor just got his perfect quirk.
The kind of tiny you are when you're a 13-year-old boy.

Summary
Dick Grayson didn’t mean to avoid Tim Drake.
Dick was fairly confident the boy would make a decent Robin. But beyond that Dick didn’t have any strong opinions, and he was happy to leave it that way. He refused to form an opinion, to become attached. It was easier that way. Dick didn’t want to take the time to examine the dread he felt seeing Tim in his colors, standing in the same spot another black haired, blue eyed boy used to be. He wasn’t looking for a new brother. That’s what he told himself when eight months had passed and he had only met the boy a handful of times.
Dick stopped telling himself that when he learned that Tim had died due to the Joker.
Or: In Tim's early Robin days, Dick realizes he needs to step up and mentor the boy who now holds his mantle. Tim is going to be part of the family, no matter what Bruce has to say.

Summary
Deals...they complicate everything. Relationships, identity, actions. Nothing is private to you anymore. Nothing qualifies what you may or may not do.
But maybe the greatest problem with them is that nothing you are is real. You become someone else's. All is erased in place of becoming theirs. It's a fate that one should fear.
Lucifer knows this.
And yet...sometimes they are necessary.
...Wouldn't you do anything for the man you love as well?

Summary
“I was,” Remus corrected, hitting each syllable like a nail. “Past tense. Whatever you’re trying to say about me, about us, that ended tonight.” The hand on the curtain tightened. “As of now, you and I are nothing.”
The silence that followed didn’t feel empty. It felt total. Sirius’s grip loosened. The fabric slid a few centimetres through his fingers before he caught it again, but there was no strength behind it now. The fight went out of his arms as if someone had reached inside and flipped a switch.
“But… I love you,” he said.
It came out small. For a boy who’d always worn confidence like a cloak, the words were shockingly bare. No flair, no bravado. Just a cracked confession, a final offering held out with shaking hands.
“You don’t do this to someone you love.”
—
Or after the prank, nothing is the same between the Marauders anymore: Regulus is ready to blow everything up for having left his brother in what are clearly the wrong hands (Evan and Barty in tow), Remus is a wreck, and Sirius is going down with him.

Summary
Doctors Jack and Maddie Fenton make a pact; it's a perfectly logical one, albeit emotionally difficult to contemplate.
Neither of them wants to become one of the evil, ectoplasmic monsters they hunt. So, after Maddie brings up the uncomfortable possibility of what if one of them did come back as a ghost, each of them makes a promise: if either of them does, in fact, die and produce a ghost, the other will dutifully eradicate it. Simple as that.
A heartbreaking possibility, but ultimately comforting, Maddie thinks, to know that her husband won't let her become what they hate.
At least, it was comforting, right up until the moment she wakes up outside of her own mangled body, surprisingly mentally sound and intact, only to find herself on the other end of Jack's blaster.
