It all starts when Felix goes to buy candles. He's minding his own business in the store when he meets a strange man who seems oddly enamored with him. He manages to shake him off, but there's something weird about the whole situation. This man is much more than he seems, and he's only a small cog in a horrifying machine that wants to swallow Felix whole.

Summary
In the crime-ridden heart of Chicago, Detective Selene Voss is the department's rising star—calm under pressure, relentless in pursuit, and brilliant at reading killers. But what her colleagues don’t know is that Selene isn’t just solving murders—she’s committing them.
For nearly two decades, a serial killer known only as The Widow’s Trace has haunted the city’s underworld, leaving behind victims with red silk ribbons and eerily serene expressions. The case remains unsolved. The killer has never made a mistake.
Until now.
When a new victim is found posed in the Widow’s signature fashion—one she didn’t kill—Selene is forced into a chilling game of copycat and cat-and-mouse. As she investigates her own myth, her grip on reality begins to crack. Memories blur. Voices whisper. Her need for control slips further away with every passing day.
And watching her closely is Dr. Ezra Wolfe, a criminal profiler with his own secrets—and suspicions.
As the city’s most elusive killer begins to unravel, Selene must decide how much of herself she’s willing to lose to keep her secret buried.
Or if it’s already too late.

Summary
A rewrite of Yansim in fanfic form ~~~ Ayano Aishi had been a regular girl. At least, as regular a girl could be. She thought her lack of emotion, her need to pretend, was something that everyone did. That was, until she found someone that made her feel things she never felt before.

Summary
Оказывается, смерть — это билет в один конец в фэнтезийный мир с Системой Игрока!

С системой, которая заставляет игроков следовать сюжету, титулом, который преследует меня повсюду, и семьёй, которую ждёт печальный финал от рук главного героя, мне придётся изрядно потрудиться, чтобы обеспечить себе нормальную жизнь.

Scorpio Rising by thefujodyke

Summary
Katsuki has been pining for years after Izuku. He's softened up a bit, bankrolled a hero suit for the nerd, and gives lectures at UA whenever Izuku requests it. So when what he thought was a dream they shared doesn't pan out like he'd planned, life goes in a direction Katsuki never would've expected.
------
Yes, a main plot-point is Izuku cheating on Ochako, but this story is so much more than just that. In 431, we're left without Izuku's internal monologue, sitting on the outside looking in. It felt, in some moments, almost as if Katsuki was the one telling the story now. In this fic, I dive deep into his POV, showcasing how he sees things. Beginning with the Epilogue (431) as a Prologue here, we take a journey into a possible "what-if" of scenarios that could've happened, staying as true to the characters as possible. Nonetheless, Izuku *does* cheat on Ochako, so if that isn't your jam, this may not be for you.
P.S; "Scorpio Rising" by Soccer Mommy is part of the fic title inspo.
Although... if you know anything about scorpio rising in astrology, the fic may make more sense. Not required knowledge though, promise!THERE'S A HAPPY ENDING FOR EVERYONE. EVEN OCHAKO. I SWEAR !!!
Enjoy :)

Summary
The year is 1899.
Eighteen-year-old Shuri Udaku is the most beautiful woman in her small town. Her father, T’Chaka, is a poor farmer deeply in debt. Her boyfriend, Joaquin, leaves the town with a promise to return with riches to save them.
While Joaquin is away, Shuri encounters the rich and depraved mayor, Namor Almehen, in the marketplace. He soon gives T’Chaka an offer –
Shuri’s hand in marriage in exchange for becoming debt-free.
“The flowers I bought for you the other day are rather lovely, aren’t they?” Namor touches one of the petals, then two fingers flick at the bud rapidly. “Imagine how many more gifts I can provide you with.”
“Leave,” she grits, everything inside her burning hot as his fingers continue violating the flowers and making her sweat despite the chilly weather. “You are not, nor will you ever be, the man of my heart.”
Namor licks his fingertips, then rubs the traces of saliva down the skin of his throat.
“My offer is not about love, Ms. Shuri. I am not interested in your heart. I am interested in having a wife, with a womb as young and as fertile as yours in particular.”

Summary
After the disastrous Battle of Bilgewater and subsequent summoning ritual, the kaldorei are once again tested in their war of vengeance against the Horde. The sacking of the goblin city was supposed to be their salvation, but instead became their doom, and now they must reckon with the consequences. An old and terrible foe—a black tyrant cloaked in shadow—has risen from the deep. Their land has been defiled by those that sought to protect it, and a curse was brought upon them all by the one they thought their savior... Now, the starlight dims, the night grows long and the Doom of Kalimdor is proclaimed by the Herald of the Void.
Can any left stand against the Shadow?

Summary
“Look at me, In-ho-ya,” he laughed, bitter and hollow. “I barely recognize myself anymore, and it’s all your fault.”
After discovering Young-il's face under the Front Man's mask, Seong Gi-hun is thrust nine years into past and trapped in yet another cycle of the games. But it doesn't take long for him to discover who is playing alongside him— Hwang In-ho, the future Front Man.
So he takes upon himself one more mission, his only desire that still anchors him to the living world: kill the Front Man before he's even allowed to come into existence.
Kill Hwang In-ho.
Sort of a Role Reversal Time Travel AU in which a jaded Gi-hun is the one staring down In-ho as he plays in the 2015 Games and plotting his downfall. And slowly but surely, loses his own humanity in the process.
