Summary
After an exhausting few years at the Ministry and an awkward breakup with Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger needs a change. Burnt out and stuck watching all her friends move on, she impulsively quits her job and moves to a tiny flat above Diagon Alley’s newly hip arts district.
When a late-night chat with Luna Lovegood leads to an unexpected job offer at The Greenhouse, Luna and Neville’s trendy coffee shop, Hermione begins her unlikely new life… as a very mediocre barista.
Unfortunately, their most difficult customer, Draco Malfoy, is less than impressed. He makes a point of complaining about every badly foamed latte, muttering to Neville that Hermione ought to be fired. But Hermione is stubborn, Malfoy is infuriating, and neither of them can seem to stay away.Enemies to reluctant friends. Reluctant friends to... something more? All’s fair in coffee and war.

Summary
It’s the summer of 1984 and the Satanic Ministry is thrown into chaos by a series of shocking murders. Three orphans unaware of their connection to each other find themselves entangled in the chaos.
Fourteen year old Copia has three friends in the world; His adoptive parents, his rats, and a newly summoned young earth Ghoul called Mountain. When Mountain is accused of murder on unfounded grounds, Copia is determined for them to prove his innocence.
Twenty-four year old Terzo is home from college for the summer and determined that this will finally be the year he charms his childhood sweethearts. But when a Ghoul is accused of murder, the tension that’s been building between the human Clergy and Ghouls experiences a sharp rise. With the tensions growing higher and past wrongs coming to light, Terzo finds himself leading the charge in defense of Ghouls.
Fourteen year old Perpetua is alone. He lives in a closed wing of the Abbey, kept away from the public by the order of his father, apparently for his own protection. That is, until a young Ghoul comes literally crashing into his life and, seeing the opportunity that Perpetua’s secret reign of the Abbey presents, the two begin a game as “spies”.

Jane shrugs, and tries to laugh it off. “You kissed my boyfriend. I kissed yours. He’s actually the same guy…” The words are sing-song, her head bobbing back and forth to the rhythm. “I don’t know, Daria. It’s all pretty messed up if you think about it.”
An alternate ending to 'Life in the Past Lane.'

Summary
"... for there is no greater pleasure than to die with one's purpose fulfilled."
Before she was Captain Unohana, before she was the First Kenpachi, she was just a child with quiet eyes and hidden hunger.
This is the story of Unohana Retsu- her rise from the alleys of Rukongai to the bloodstained halls of Gotei 13 and beyond. From healer to executioner. From girl to myth.
Featuring her childhood, the First Quincy War, her role in squad 11, and the path that led her to become the woman "Kenpachi Yachiru".A canon-compliant character study of pain, power, and identity. Slow burn emotional development, eventual romance, and the story of a memorable character.
(Also, EVERYONE mentioned in tags is getting a plot!! Screw you canon, why don't we have more of Original Gotei 13 lore?)

Summary
"There was a point in time I realized that I needed you here. I was desperate, and I do apologize about that. But I had to do whatever it took. This kingdom is mine, and I want us to prove we can coexist, but there is something in your magic that could be a boon in helping me achieve that goal." He took Camille's hands and sat her in the seat, falling to his knees, his thumbs worrying divots in her palms.
"I have the sheer power and muscle, but you have the magic and manner. I can't do this without you."

Summary
From brooding gulfs are we beheld by that which bears no name.
Its heralds are the stars it fells, the sky and earth aflame.
Corporeal laws are unwrit, as suns and love retreat.
To cosmic madness, laws submit, though stalwart minds entreat.
In luminous space, blackened stars, they gaze, accuse, deny.
Roiling, moaning this realm of ours in madness, lost shall die.
Carrion hordes trill their profane accord with eldritch plans.
To cosmic forms from tangent planes, we end as we began.Series

Summary
Twins have always been a sign of fortune. In Old Valyria, they were heralds of wealth and prosperity—a gift from the gods, divine favor to have a sire’s seed multiplied twice over.
Great fortune and felicity were said to follow the birthing of twins. So it was with terrific joy that the royal court welcomed the births of Princess Rhaenyra’s twins. A son and a daughter, as alike and as different as the sky and sea.
Twins are prosperous, it is said.
But not all believe this.
Some say the gods double what they give, only to see what might be taken away.- Language:

Summary
You were raised to be beautiful, to be perfect, and that is all you would ever be. After being arranged to marry one of your island's most notoriously abusive families, you work for years so you can run away. After running, you dedicate your life to the creatures that allowed you to keep living: dragons. Along the way, you meet a group of dragon riders who share your ideals and decide that perhaps having some company wouldn't be so bad.
<<-->>
I have decided there are not nearly enough Hiccup x readers on the internet, and even fewer of my beloved show, Dragons: Race to the Edge, so I have decided to fill the void a bit. I am planning on changing the canon a bit to fit the reader in smoothly, but major events should still go as written.

Summary
A few streets away from the temple (derelict since the regime change), cramped between buildings old enough to predate his grandfather, there was a shopfront with Apothecary writ on the sign in faded paint. The pharmacist in residence: a nominal shinobi, inactive duty, and a local curiosity for the simple fact of having survived so long. Kisame might have gone on ignoring that curiosity, if personal circumstance hadn’t shifted enough to make poison a necessity.
