Summary
On a warm summer morning, Link died broken upon the rocks. But one end is just another beginning, and a run in with a mysterious mask salesman leads to the start of another chance. Now, with all his accomplishments swept away and the knowledge of all he’s lost, Link has to find a way to set the world right again.
(My first real attempt at writing fanfiction, please excuse the poor summary. Basically, I’m obsessed with zora!link, and wanted to join in the fun.)-

This is delightful.
“We thank you for your welcome,” Shiro forces a smile onto his face and sincerity into his voice, and prays the aliens are not telepaths.
“The pleasure is all ours,” the alien replies, and Shiro barely suppresses a shudder. “Which one of you is eligible to claim the honour of joining your people onto our Empire?”
“I’m afraid I don’t understand,” Shiro attempts to keep his smile, feeling every wrong move might explode in his face and backfire directly onto the human race. “Please accept my sincerest apologies, this is the first time any human came across a… friend,” he risks, “from another planet.”
“Of course,” the alien says silkily, coming closer. “The Galra Empire is the strongest in the universe; it held it for the past ewi-kveo. Unity breeds strength.” The alien leers at him, “Of course, each new species that’s introduced to the Empire is welcome to join it, and reap the benefits of its success and the benevolence of our leader, Emperor Zarkon. The Empire prospers with many different species, living in harmony and peace under our gracious leader’s wisdom and guidance.”
Shiro continues smiling, hoping his forehead doesn’t blare with the message ‘FAT CHANCE’ projecting from his mind like a flashy rainbow lightshow of a billboard in Tokyo.

Summary
Viktor kissed Jayce tenderly, then slipped the ring back into the box. "I cannot. Not until you have my family's blessing," he said soberly.
Jayce opened his mouth. Closed it. Dug through his memories, until he was reasonably certain they were correct. "What family?"
or, Jayce and Viktor want to get married, but first they need the blessings of their respective families. Getting Ximena's blessing was easy, but getting Viktor's parents on board may be a little more difficult...

Bleeding Needs of Acceptance by MashpotatoeQueen
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types

Summary
Damian shows up in the dead of night at Gotham City with swords on his back and a chip in his shoulder, ten years old with blood on his hands and a scowl so fierce that grown men have been known to turn away from it.
He’s on the run, but at the same time not, and he’s not sure what he’s doing but he knows what he’s expecting, because he’s there to see his Father and his Father was surely just like the stories his Mother used to tell; tall and strong and brave, a shadow in the night, the call of vengeance in the streets, a detective in his mind and a warrior in his soul, an experienced and incredible fighter who was and is everything that Damian should ever try to be.
Batman is all these things. Father is all these things. And yet, somehow, he still doesn’t quite match Damian’s expectations.
Nobody does.
(AKA That one fic with the focus on the fact that Damian was trained to be a killer ninja in probably not so good conditions, and that a sudden transition to the crazy Batfam and- more importantly- Dick Grayson, probably wasn't the easiest to deal with.)

Summary
Slave number Twenty Three didn't know what to make of his new Master. The strange boy was nothing like other slave owners. Short on both height and temper, yet strangely kind to him, Master Ed seemed to know something about him that he didn't himself. Just what was it?
(The story where time-traveling to fix the past doesn't work quite as Edward Elric intended, and lost family bonds are reclaimed. Van Hohenheim and Xerxes-centric.)

I Heard That Clan's All Trouble by Tawabids

Summary
The curse of Thror took everything from Thorin; his home, his people's love, and finally his family and his sword arm. Then an old wizard in a pub brings him a key and the first good news he has heard in a long time - his nephews are alive and well in the Shire, the most unlikeliest of places.
Bilba Baggins had been quite happy living quietly on her own, but Bag End has not been quiet ever since two orphaned dwarves snuck into her life and made themselves at home. However, she will be damned if she lets a one-armed dwarf prince storm in and take them away after all these years.
She'll follow her boys to the ends of Middle Earth if she has to. And maybe, if he proves himself, she might even stand beside their king.

Summary
You have your own little place in the city. A small backyard just big enough for plants and flowers to grow. A little peace of heaven in your backyard. It's beautiful. As the day is coming to an end, you go to your shed to put away your tools... only to find a wounded creature inside.
Tumblr Ask: Could you do a male reader who's a gardener and often uses a cane to get around due to a disorder where they struggle to walk? And found a injured male Yautja (not picky with who, I love all of those silly bois) and end up taking care of the once injured Yauja. And maybe they fall in love? (Your choice to make it nsfw or not, I'm fine with either,) I really enjoy your writing, and I hope you have a great day/night!!

Summary
Phil prayed under the moonlight.
His fins hurt and it was hard to breathe even though the water was crystal clear. He couldn't move, couldn't escape his perfect cage.
Phil twitched pathetically.
The water was warm and his bedding soft. Fresh. And yet Philza prayed.
He sent his words towards the sky and the land that he would never be able to live on. Where he knew the moon and She would listen to him.
Philza prayed for death to come claim him.
________
Or: Philza and Neapolitan Trio have very different cultural views on death. Mainly, they don't believe in it, meanwhile Philza needs it. Sirens edition- Language:

During their trip through Mirkwood, the company finds themselves falling down a cliff. Only to appear in a strange room with a strange voice telling them they are going to see something to help change the future. Characters watch the movie type of fic because I love them and there are very few in this fandom. Over half-way done with the first movie.
