Summary
The snow is red and black and muddy; it squelches rather than crunches beneath his boots. There's blood on his hands, his neck, his face but he's not sure how much of it is his own. The smoke is thick, blinding him, seeping into his lungs like an acrid cancer and causing him to cough and gag. He can taste it in his mouth, greasy and coppery with the tang of blood

Summary
This is a terrible idea.
The medical tent is full of men, littered with the wounded that just rolled up, following men busy bellowing Captain America! over and over. You had seen him then, making eyes at you even though he'd been ragged as a stray dog, bleeding in ripped clothes. It isn't the first time a soldier has looked at you like a little bit of home he wants to touch, and you know it won't be the last. He'd smiled and nodded politely, but the slick curve of his mouth let you know just what kind of man you'd be dealing with later.
And true to form, when you pluck the dog tags off his chest to match the name to the one you've scribbled on his chart, he runs a finger delicately over your hand and says, The name's Bucky.

So good. I am so impressed at the amount of research that went into this. Most people don't go that extra mile for "just fanfic."
This is basically "knowledge is knowing that Frankenstein is not the monster; wisdom is understanding that Frankenstein IS the monster": the fanfic

Summary
I choked on a vegetable and died. Apparently my death was ridiculous enough for me to slip through the reincarnation cycle with my memories intact. If I was going to die a completely stupid death anyway, might as well risk it in a career as a hired assassin right?
Or in other words, a poor reincarnated soul finds out her hair is as green as the vegetable she choked on, the universe is laughing at her misfortune, and she's on track to being a full-time killer... but hey on the bright side she might just be a sociopath so this probably is the career for her!

Botan Yamada was just an average underground pro. When she dies from a gunshot wound to the gut, she isn't really thinking about the afterlife, or being reborn as someone else. She's remarkably calm about the entire situation, all things considered.
But, when she gets reincarnated into a world of mythical warriors and corrupt politicians, she's got a few questions. Such as, why haven't her memories of a past life faded? Why does she still have her Quirk? And what is she supposed to do with it as another war brews on the horizon?

Bookmarker's Notes
Excellent characterization of child soldiers grubbing around in the lowest ranks and teenage drama ruining the plans of cave mummies. And of course, Uchihas being Uchiha. Them liking pretty things and aesthetics because they're a visual clan is excellent worldbuilding. And being photosensitive as well.
It made him feel like he’d swallowed a coal that was burning him from the inside out when all he wanted to do was spew that fire on the nearest target. Preferably the one who made Toboe — his friend, his steady teammate, the first one to reach out to him when all the world was still bleak and doused in angry grief — cringe and shiver so hopelessly. So helplessly.
Ah, he thought, throwing an arm around Toboe’s shoulders, so this is love after loss.

Summary
Sakura is twelve when she queues up in front a desk with a bunch of other equally-terrified looking shinobi. The ages range from younger than her to old enough to be her grandpa.
The man sitting at the desk is stony-faced as he doles out assignments. Sakura obediently shuffles forward when it is her turn, and recites her shinobi identification number in a shaky voice when asked.
When the provost marshal looks at her, looks down at his paper, looks back at her, and grimaces, Sakura knows it’s not going to be good.

Summary
An ambush leaves Hermione gravely injured, and the last person she expects to save her is Severus Snape.
With the Order compromised, he hides her away in a secluded Muggle house, torn between duty and the need to keep her alive. But as days pass in forced proximity, tension gives way to something neither of them expected—something dangerously intimate.
Or: a one-shot turned into a one-shot with a chaser.

Summary
Fanciful stories would flit throughout Hogsmeade by the time the sun was setting, but the important pieces were at least mostly truthful:
One—the newcomer was a witch.
Two—she apparently unloaded a great deal of curious-looking things, including some wildly exotic plants, a large cage containing something much too big to be an ordinary cat, and, most excitingly, dozens and dozens of books.
Three—and this one, which Xenophilius swore he saw with his own eyes, was the most outrageous: after unloading the cart, the witch flicked her little wand and shrank it down to the size of an apple, then stowed it away in a beaded bag on her wrist.
(or: small town, high-fantasy-AU where Hermione and Severus own competing magic shops.)

Summary
Dorothea has been placed in Advanced Swordplay even though she's hopeless with swords and Felix has been placed in Advanced Reason even though he's terrible at it. They're struggling.
Dorothea suggests that they tutor one another. Reluctantly, Felix agrees.

"You're wasting your time with Felix," said Sylvain. "A fine, lovely woman like yourself deserves better. Give me a chance. I'll take you dancing. You love dancing, right? Let me show you what a real man is made of."Dorothea responded with a sweet, tinkling laugh. "A real man? Oh, Sylvain. I'd bet money that Felix is ten times better in bed than you are."
Sylvain's jaw dropped. He began to splutter and finally blurted, "I know for a fact that Felix is a--"
"Perfectionist?" Dorothea interrupted brightly. And then, in that evil female voice that managed to mix saccharine sweetness and pity in equal measure, "Which you, Sylvain, are most definitely not. Sometimes settling for 'good enough' really isn't good enough."

Summary
There’s grime smeared on Felix’s face and his eyes are closed, but he’s breathing, shallow yet distinct, and at the thud of his heartbeat beneath Sylvain’s palm Sylvain feels his own shudder back to life in his chest.
Felix’s eyes drag open, big and out of focus. “Felix,” Sylvain murmurs, cupping his face with one gloved hand. “I’ve got you. Hey, I’ve got you, you’re okay. Where does it hurt?”

Felix goes into heat. Sylvain copes poorly.

Summary
Felix and Sylvain have always had a bittersweet relationship. While Felix has been both a victim and a beneficiary of it, their bond becomes more complicated when they find themselves saddled by the responsibilities of their respective titles.
Amidst it all — the war, Dimitri’s rise to power and the settling of a unified Fodlan, and even the inevitability of marriage and the advancement of their houses — Felix knows that what matters most is to determine just how much sweetness truly underlies everything else his oldest friend has to offer him. But what will it take to force his hand?
