This would all be set on his terms. He could save them…He really could save them ... .He just hoped that he and ‘His Maj’ didn’t wind up destroying each other before that fact.

Summary
There were only a few things in life that Elara every really wanted: for her older brother, Rhysand, to finally start paying attention to her, to live a life free out from under the oppressive thumb of her father and marry the male she loved more than anything, and to feel the wind beneath her wings.
Only she didn't live to see any of that.
Taken near death, stripped of her memory, and given a new identity, she ends up on the wrong side of the war with Hybern. With every horrible thing she does in the name of the King of Hybern, she becomes more and more of the soulless monster that they want her to be.
Then, when a certain shadowsinger takes an interest in her, missing pieces start to fall back into place.
Will she ever be able to piece together the life that had been ripped to shreds that day in the Illyrian mountains? Does she even deserve to? Or is Elara truly gone forever?

Summary
Sasuke doesn’t feel at home in Konoha. Naruto decides to build him a house.
Aka, there's nothing inherently gay about building your homie place to stay, right? Right.
---
"Hey."
Naruto’s voice broke through the stillness, warm and bright. Sasuke turned his head slowly.
He was standing just beyond the treeline, arms crossed, hair a mess, grinning like the idiot he was. The sunlight caught in his hair, made it gleam.
Like the sun, Sasuke thought bitterly. Always.
His heart stuttered. Stupid thing.

Summary
During the First Wizarding War, the eldest Weasley daughter, Fiona, is abducted from her grandmother's home during a Death Eater assault. Lord Voldemort destroys the memory of her loving family so He becomes all she knows. After two years, when Fiona's Lord Father leaves his manor one day and never returns, she leaves the only home she knows only to learn it was never hers at all. Against the better judgement of healers and in an attempt to appease her need for control, Arthur Weasley honors Fiona's wish to keep her memories of the man she once called Lord Father.
With her understanding of love and power defined by a source so far removed from humanity, she retreats into her genius, cherishing the control that her talents provide and finding herself at home in the political underbelly of the wizarding world's academic elite. Can she blaze a path to power through machinations worthy of her late Lord Father without shattering the connection to those who have loved and lost her once before? Can she reconcile thirst for control against the desire to be seen—to understand and be understood in turn when she cannot reconcile within herself what the Dark Lord wrought all those years ago?
