Summary
Hell is Hell. The place was practically built around suffering but that doesn't mean everyone living there suffers equally; some people clearly have it better than others.
Blitzø is a whore. Not just in the sense that he's promiscuous as hell, but literally. Alone after the fire that killed his family and with fucked up moral obligations that mean he has to keep working no matter what, the imp has gotta do whatever shit he can to keep that money coming in. At least, until someone unexpected shows up to throw his life into chaos.
Prince Stolas dreads his impending arranged marriage. Bound by duty and familial expectations, his future is fixed and no matter how much he might resent it, there is no escaping the gilded chains he was born to wear.
Tensions are growing between the demon elite and Hell's increasingly bitter underclass and in a world of constitutionalised abuse and blatant classism, change is brewing. The pair stand on either side of a rapidly growing schism between the ‘haves’, and the ‘have nots’ and soon they will have to face the fact that, no matter how attracted to someone you might be, some people will always be the fucking enemy.More details in the notes.

Summary
Tony Stark’s attention, Peter discovered long ago, is that of a flickering candle—warm one second, gone the next.
OR
In theory, Peter knows that people are flawed. That trauma leaves scar tissue, and healing isn’t linear. But he also knows Newton’s Third Law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
And eventually, when you reach for someone too many times without being caught, you stop reaching altogether.

Summary
Nam-gyu is just trying to survive the night shifts at the infamous Pentagon Club — a place full of flashing lights, whispered deals, and way too many egos. He doesn’t have time for flirty troublemakers like Thanos, who shows up far too often with a smirk and a habit of getting under his skin. But when teasing turns into tension and tension into something harder to ignore, the line between annoyance and attraction starts to blur in the neon haze of the city’s underworld.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy wanted his son refined.
Durmstrang gave him opinions, a spine and, Merlin help us, a personality.
After a very public Hippogriff mishap and a Lucius-grade meltdown, Draco Malfoy is promptly shipped off to Durmstrang. The idea is to toughen him up, straighten him out, and remind him who he’s meant to be.
Instead, Draco starts asking questions. Making unlikely friends. Catching feelings he can't quite name. Worst of all? He begins to change and not in the ways his father intended.

Summary
I've written like 50 bad summaries in my head trying to come up with what I should say here. I think summaries are my Achilles Heel. Fuck. Okay, here goes:
This is a reader-insert, reverse harem, slow-burn that follows canon (until it doesn't and boy are we making some changes). You've got a little bit of everything as far as romance goes: enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, love at first sight, she fell first he fell harder... there's more but, like I said, it's a slow burn so I don't want to spoil anything. We're gonna be here a while.
As for Y/N: I like to call her the "ass" trifecta (the trifectass, if you will), which is: a dumbass, a smartass, and (eventually) a badass. She's also, on occasion, an asshole.
Yes, she has an OP quirk (that does have its limits) - and she's very aware of that. After being accepted to UA, after facing the trials and tribulations of class 1-A, she begins to learn that it's NOT just skill with a quirk that makes a hero.
While this is a romance, it's also a journey in which Y/N grows and finds her strength, finds friendship, finds love, rivalry, pain, confidence, weaknesses, and happiness.
So... laugh, cry, kick your feet, but first: step into the Spotlight.

Summary
After the death of her fiancé, Natasha quits her high profile job at Joja Tech and retreats to her grandfather’s old farmhouse. She just wants to disappear and get through each day for her cat Luna, the one remaining link to her past.
But she finds herself slowly pulled into the quiet charm of Stardew Valley. New friendships, family secrets, and the satisfaction of working with her hands are all unexpected, as is her connection with Sebastian, a quiet but witty self-proclaimed loner.
Natasha isn’t sure she remembers how to let people in. Sebastian is convinced he’s meant to be alone and wants to leave the Valley forever. But through terrible jokes, late-night fantasy lore debates, unexpected dances, and plenty of emotional side quests, they begin to chip away at the walls they’ve built.

Summary
Neuvillette had always spoken justice as if it were a language only he could pronounce—precise, absolute, unshaken by human frailty. But the Fortress of Meropide, and the man who ruled its iron halls, began to unravel that certainty.
Three prisoners became the first cracks in the dam: a Natlan man condemned by prejudice, a mother forced to steal for her children, a soul who struck down his tormentor in a single moment of rage. Each case demanded not the rigidity of the law, but the compassion of a heart willing to listen.
And with every reevaluation, with every quiet hour spent at Wriothesley’s side, Neuvillette began to understand: true justice was not cold water rushing unfeeling through the veins of Fontaine—it was warmth shared, a judgment tempered by mercy, and perhaps, even love.
Because even dragons can drown in silence until someone teaches them how to breathe.

Summary
Wednesday y Enid regresan a casa para el verano, cada una con un nuevo semestre acercándose en el horizonte, uno lleno de exámenes, drama y el lento e implacable paso del tiempo.
Wednesday se encuentra atrapada en una guerra silenciosa entre lo que no sabe y lo que cree entender, cuestionando creencias que ha tenido por mucho tiempo sobre la vida… y sobre los sentimientos que han comenzado a surgir, no invitados y no deseados. Una cosa es segura: no dejará que las cosas se salgan de control, incluso si eso significa aferrarse con todo lo que tiene.
Mientras tanto, el mundo de Enid se desmorona a su alrededor. Cuanto más intenta evitar lo inevitable, más la rompe, amenazando con arrebatarle los últimos pedazos de felicidad a los que se aferra. ¿Podrá superarlo? ¿Encontrará una luz al final del túnel? Y lo más importante… ¿habrá alguien esperándola allí?
______________________________Esta historia no busca solo contar lo que sucede entre dos personas, sino lo que sucede dentro de ellas. Es una historia que intenta hacer hincapié al desarrollo y a la introspección de los personajes. De caminos que se cruzan, se desvían y, a veces, se pierden.

Summary
Thanatos is fine.
Just fine, he most certainly doesn't need a rebellious prince in his life at all. Definitely not.
But yet Thanatos just can't seem to keep himself away from Zagreus, his body fighting against his own logic, when he gets too close he brings death, and that's all he's good for right?
Zagreus doesn't think so.
AKA: A slowburnish fluff-focus fic about their dynamic as a pair and how they interact with their friends, their families and other members of the house! Along with lots of drama, dramatics and mild violence, a lot of this fic follows the canon game story, with some deviation at points.

Summary
King Halo had carefully practiced the art of falling apart. She hid herself behind closed doors and charming smiles, determined to never let anyone see the side of her that struggled beneath the weight of expectation. It was all she ever knew. El Condor Pasa had never fallen apart before. If the going got tough, she'd simply raise the stakes and push faster and harder, in the name of being stronger. It was all she ever knew. With King seeking to escape the shadow cast by her mother and El trying to prove her strength to the world and herself, the two find themselves captivated by one another. With the stakes looming and the stage set, it falls upon them to save each other from their fears.
A finished story that updates every other day.
Not directly canon to the game or the anime, but seeks to incorporate elements and story pieces from both.

Summary
Unexpectedly arriving in a world where humans and Pokémon coexist in harmony, Natsume inherits an abandoned farm.
With Pidgey soaring through the skies and Heracross resting under the shade of trees, the world's vivid reality unfolds before him.
But instead of aspiring to become a Pokémon Trainer, Natsume seems more inclined to embrace the life of a farmer.
Natsume: "It's decided. From today on, I'll be a farmer."
However, as time goes on, Natsume starts to realize that his goals may have shifted just a little.
"Champion Natsume, are you saying you originally just wanted to be a farmer?" a reporter asks earnestly.
Natsume: "Would you believe me if I said it wasn't entirely my choice?"
