    Summary

    An Alpha male is not a suitable romantic partner for another Alpha male. They aren't compatible. They'll be naturally repulsed by one another, they'll reject each other, they'll fight, they'll abhor one another's very presence if they can't manage enough restraint to politely tolerate it instead. This information is not a secret nor subjective truth.

    For Lan Wangji, however, it's not the 'truth' at all.

    Summary

    Sun, an aspiring Trainer from Alola's Melemele Island, only ever wanted a normal start to his Pokémon Training career. So, sure, making a bid for power with a sociopathic baby god wasn't exactly what he had in mind... but he's got no choice but to make the most of it. Even if the island guardians do want his head. A darker AU of the Generation 7 Pokémon games.

    Summary

    Where the loss of ignorance is more valuable than the knowledge gained, and Edward figures out the source of alchemy a lot sooner than before.

    "Edward has cockroaches under his skin and leeches in his veins. He's vibrating and bursting and his body is too small, too big, doesn't fit quite right. He needs Al to know - needs to tell someone, anyone, but he will cut out his own tongue before he burdens anyone else with this knowledge."

    (Now with a TV Tropes page!)

    Summary

    The Yiling Patriarch is a living legend—a terrifying, ancient force of nature, dispensing punishment or reward with implacable, indifferent fairness.

    Wei Wuxian, on the other hand, is a weird but oddly charming guy who wanders around the cultivation world making fun of people's art and mooching food from sect leaders.

    It really upsets people to find out that they're the same person.

    Summary

    “Your parents have been grooming you to take over the company, correct? You’ve been working closely alongside them, alongside their best scientists and technicians. I’m sure you’ve learned a fair deal. We could use that expertise at Stark Industries.”
    “Essentially,” Parker says, “you want to pay me to reveal my parents’ company secrets.”
    “Yes,” Tony says, cheerfully. “Thank you for catching on so quickly.”

    Tony’s week just turned a lot more promising: Rich kid Peter Parker has apparently dropped out of college and provoked the ire of his parents. A delicious scandal for the tabloids. And an opportunity too good to waste, even if it means putting up with a snooty, preppy college kid as his new intern.
