Summary
James Potter arrives at a prestigious ballet academy in Paris with two left feet and zero French, only to find himself partnered with Regulus Black—the academy’s coldest, most ruthless soloist, who treats him like an unwelcome intruder.
Thrown together to perform Swan Lake, their rehearsals spark with equal parts contempt and undeniable heat, complicated by whispered insults in French that James can’t understand, and Regulus’s silent sabotage offstage.
Meanwhile, Sirius Black, the charismatic choreographer with a penchant for mischief, and Remus Lupin, the painfully awkward but brilliant new composer, navigate their own awkward beginnings amidst the glittering drama.
As music and tension build, James and Regulus find themselves caught in a slow-burning collision of rivalry, passion, and vulnerability that neither expected—and neither knows how to handle.

Summary
It's been a few years since Link and Midna saved Hyrule from Ganondorf and Zant. Link is now a highly regarded nobleman thanks to his heroic actions on behalf of the kingdom, and many Hylians can't help but obsess over Link's personal life, which has been riddled with failed relationships. He still has the Shadow Crystal to attain his canine abilities at will, but when the Shadow Crystal shatters and he is stuck in his wolf form, what is he to do?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"How powerful a love like that must be; to easily transcend the barrier between life and death...How lost and unsure she must feel…of her worth or sense of being, perhaps? Maybe I would feel the same way had I lost Ilia to death or someone else precious to me? The only difference is...I have never been in love..."

Sunny Suzuki and the Stupid Traitorous Rat by BubbleHubble13

Summary
When Sunny trips down the stairs and spirals to the floor, he thinks he's dead. But instead of hitting the ground and crumbling from gravity, he passes right through the wood, right through his own world, and wakes up in a new one, in his 13-year-old body.
After seeing enough witches in hats, wizards with wands, and all-too-familiar faces, he falls to one horrible conclusion: he isn't dead after all. Instead, it seemed that whatever happened to him sent him straight into the magical world of Harry Potter, Mari’s favorite fictional story.
Sunny only has four goals. Everything else was secondary and unnecessary.
He had to stop Pettigrew, protect Harry, stay secret, and above all: go home.
…with how things were going so far, he might only be able to do one of them.
–
Harry was used to having odd school years. He truly was. But this time things were getting odder much faster than usual. For one, Sirius Black was out to kill him. Two, he spelled Marge into a balloon in the summer. And three, Hogwarts gained a very quaint new student who seemed to be terrified of him.
One normal year. That’s all he could ever ask for. But Harry never got the things he wanted now, did he?

Summary
He wasn't sure what to expect when Primus showed up in his living room on Earth... but to be told he is to be given a Cybertronian body and transported to the Transformers Prime universe to end the war between Autobots and Decepticons... well... it was laughable, to say the least.
Primus was true to his word though, he was given a Cybertronian body, a new name, and was transported to the Transformers Prime universe. All of this was too good to be true, as it was everything he ever wanted!
Why him though? Why did Primus choose him? He wasn't an Autobot, he was a Decepticon, through and through. He was loyal to Megatron, and he hated humans, hated Earth, and there was a few Autobots he would happily rip to pieces. How was he supposed to end a war and bring peace when he could care less about the opposing faction? All he cared about was ensuring Megatron survived this war and stood tall as the victor!
But... maybe that was the point?

Summary
The metal plate in Ford's head shielded his mind enough to prevent Bill Cipher from gaining access. And as an added side effect, it also provided enough shielding to protect his mind from the effects of Fiddleford's memory gun.
It did not, however, provide perfect protection against his forgotten prototype. Which was more powerful, but far less precise. Like comparing a scalpel to a chainsaw.
The metal plate provided enough protection that Ford only lost his most recent memories. And both Stanley and Fiddleford had already proven that it was possible to retrieve those memories with some work. There was no reason to be overly upset about a mere accident.
But since his last memories were of him and his brother at sea a few months after Weirdmageddon, Ford was left dealing with several changes. Dipper and Mabel were noticeably older. The Mystery Shack had expanded. And there was someone that should have been dead and gone that his family were far too casual and comfortable having around.
