Summary
“Dude, what does that have to do with you sucking my tongue?”
“You had your lips on my face! I thought that was an appropriate response!”
“Yeah, when it’s with a chick, dude! You’re not a chick! Kissing is for chicks you wanna bang!”
Adrian frowns.
“What’s a chick-dude? Is it, like, a combination because you’re bisex—“

Summary
When Master Makarov decides it's time to shake up the usual teams, Laxus and Freed finds themselves reluctantly assigned to a mission with Natsu, Gray, and the guild's newest member—Lucy Heartfilia. What should have been a routine job quickly spirals into chaos as clashing personalities, dangerous enemies, and buried secrets come to the surface.
Meanwhile, Laxus Dreyar, ever aloof and prideful, finds himself unexpectedly curious of the celestial mage. What begins as a game an arrogant dragon slayer amused by the fiery courage of a stubborn blonde slowly turns into something far more complicated.
As dark guilds move in the shadows and Lucy's mysterious connection to forbidden magic begins to unravel, alliances are tested and loyalties strained. For Laxus, what started as simple interest becomes a dangerous entanglement that forces him to choose between his pride, his guild, and the girl who challenges him at every turn.
In a world where one wrong move can mean losing everything, trust is the strongest magic of all.

Summary
The story of how Aldhelm fell in love with Aethelflaed, and how she fell in love with him. Not REALLY enemy to lovers, as they were never truly enemies, but that is the closest I can fit. It takes place starting at the end of Season 2 during the Battle of Beomfleot, and continues into the time in between Seasons 2 and 3, and concludes with a Season 3 rewrite. Aldhelm has a different backstory as well.

The girl of glass by desiideriium

Summary
In the 68th Hunger Games, no one expected Sofia Wren Flores to survive. She was hardly seventeen, soft-spoken, and far too gentle for the Capitol's arena, she volunteered for her older sister and vanished into a battlefield of mirrored trees and illusion, where the sky was always beneath your feet and nothing was ever what it seemed.
They only clearly saw her twice. Once, holding the dying boy from her district, singing a song no Capitol camera could forget. And once at the end, alive. Victorious. No one knows how she survived—not even the Capitol.
To Finnick Odair, she was everything he couldn't say. To Haymitch Abernathy, she was the daughter he'd never get to raise. To Snow, she was the ghost of Lucy Gray—proof that some women don't die, they disappear.
She was called the girl of glass—the glass victor. And no one ever caught her.
Because Sofía Flores had already gotten away. And none of them knew how to catch their very own reflection.

Summary
Interpersonal matters have never been his strong suit; there’s a brashness to himself that he can’t quite shake. He attributes it to the dog-eat-dog world of growing up the youngest of eleven. He’s struggled to get past the acquaintance stage with any of the men in his cohort and it should worry him, but in all truth, he likes his solitude. Having time and space of his own is still a novelty even four years post leaving his childhood home. The majority of his free time is spent reading and listening to the silence around him.

Summary
“Why the fuck are ya still here, Elf?” Logan demanded.
“Because, despite my better judgment, I want to help you and your daughter!”
Anger sliced through Kurt like a hot knife. As his tail thrashed, he glanced between Logan and Laura, who was a few feet away from them. Her eyes, normally filled with rage, were wide.
Logan’s brows twitched, but he held his scowl. “I’m beyond help! Get the fuck outta here while you still can!”
Kurt gritted his teeth and stepped forward. “And what are you planning on doing if I don’t, hmm?”
“It’s not about what I do!” Logan scrubbed his hands through his messy hair. “It’s about what happens to everyone else!”

"The scent of pine and honey wafted in the air like a saccharine haze. For Izuku and Katsuki, it had always been this way—an indistinguishable blend, seeped deeply into their pores–clinging to everything like a second skin. Over time, it was familiar enough to fade into the background. Others might wrinkle their noses at how thick and cloying it was, their two scents tangled together, but for them it was comfort.
Home."

Summary
My second life promised blood. His promised redemption. We kept both promises in the end.
______________
The cicadas took it as an invitation to practice dying together in chorus. “If Colm wasn’t alive,” Arthur said finally, voice gone distant, “what would you want?”
“Breakfast,” I said, and smiled because it hurt less than telling the truth.
“After breakfast,” he said.
“Clean hands that still know what to do,” I said, surprising myself. “A horse that likes me more than not. A little time where the only thing that needs killin’ is silence. No one callin’ me Miss anything.”
He nodded like he’d been handed a map that didn’t promise roads. “I could stand that,” he said.
“And you?” I asked. “If Dutch’s ‘one last score’ didn’t end with all of us in holes or heatstroke?”
“Quiet,” he said. “A river with fish that ain’t clever. A place where a man can come inside without lookin’ over one shoulder and then the other. No parades. No letters.” He didn’t look at me when he said that, and I didn’t make him. “You there, if you want,” he added, so bare it almost wasn’t words.
“I ain’t pretty company,” I said.
“I ain’t either,” he said. “We’ll make an ugly peace.”

Summary
“We don’t drink from… you know.” He lowered his voice until I had to strain myself to hear.
“So your source is?”
“Think of us as reverse vegetarians.”
I turned his words over for a moment. If vegetarians ate plants, then reverse vegetarians ate—
I froze.
He seemed to catch on quickly because he laughed loudly. “No. They smell horrid.”
“Not sure what you mean,” I played dumb but I already knew he wouldn’t fall for it.
“Right.”

Summary
There was a reason Hyuntak was capable of pushing so much about Baekjin under the rug. Because he blamed someone else more, way more than he thought possible. Someone he thought he would cherish forever, the person who stood and watched his knee become shattered and ruined, despite knowing he was an athlete. An athlete with dreams and aspirations he used to support.
Geum fucking Seongje, the person he hated, feared, thought about way too often at times.
The person who read so much manga in 10th grade he proceeded to go around telling half the school he and Hyuntak-ie were tied together by the red string of fate.
(or hyuntak and seongje used to be childhood friends before one went to eunjang, other to ganghak)
