Nico is the owner and head chef of an upscale restaurant in Hell's Kitchen, New York City. There's nothing easy about running a business, especially when you have to juggle an overprotective father, a college-age sister, and a staff about as under control as a stampede. The last thing Nico needs is a rival in the form of the ugliest food truck on the face of the planet. And yet, that's exactly what he gets.
Of food fights, fledgling friendships, and Nico di Angelo's stupid little soft spot for Will Solace.

Summary
[Pokemon Coordinators AU, with a few universe alterations]
Hinata Shouyou has waited his entire life to become a Pokemon Trainer. His goal is to defeat Sinnoh's Champion. His rival is Kageyama Tobio, a standoffish boy that Hinata met at Trainer School but something is different about him now that they've met up again - this time as proper Trainers. It seems that Kageyama now has a new goal in life that isn't reflective of his title as "King of the Court" whatsoever.

Summary
Hinata Shouyou only wanted to play for the volleyball team that her hero, the Little Giant, used to be on. And so what if Karasuno's former #10 was a boy?
It would be so easy for her to pretend to be a guy—after all, her best friends from junior high were boys. She'd definitely be able to pull off pretending to be one for three years, no sweat.
(or . . . maybe do sweat? boys did that a lot, right?)
And it would've been smooth sailing from the first running step she took inside the gym . . . at least, until the former first setter of Kitagawa Daiichi threatened to get too close and ruin everything she had sacrificed in order to achieve her dreams.
DISCONTINUED—SORRY GUYS!

Summary
Dan Howell and his best friend, Chris Kendall, are really nice, and award-winningly so. Every year in their high school, their school newspaper holds a competition to see who is the most “exceptionally kind;” the flaw in this, of course, is that many have interpreted this as a popularity contest, which it is in many ways. But just when Dan and Chris think they have this competition in the bag, enter Phil Lester, the ridiculously nice underdog and the new kid, whose charmingly lopsided smile and never-ending kindness may even upstage Dan and Chris’ best efforts.

Keith never meant to keep secrets. At first he wanted to protect people, and sometimes not knowing something would keep them safe.
So when he found himself in space with four others who knew almost nothing about him, he panicked. What else was he supposed to do? He had gone out of his way to hide the truth and go through becoming a pilot without attracting attention and here he was. Trapped on a ship with six other people who would find out sooner or later.
And that thought terrified him.Series

Summary
“It’s not like he knows. Keith.”
Lance pressed himself up against the wall and listened. He heard Keith huff. “Yeah yeah, I know, Shiro. He doesn’t know the first thing about me, so I shouldn’t take it to heart. I’m just angry, and upset, and I’ll work it off like I always do. I promise it won’t affect forming of Voltron. I know Lance gets touchy when it comes to Earth. I shouldn’t have said anything.”
There was a pause. “Maybe…maybe you should set the record straight? Tell him why he’s so incredibly wrong about everything he said?”

Summary
"Their grades had been acting like a sick game of tug-of-war, alternating like the phases of the moon, waxing in one of their favours before waning and swapping power to the other. Switching between first and second place like neither of them could find their footing on the podiums."
Or, Evan Rosier and Barty Crouch Jr start their last year of sixth form determined to each be top of their class. Tests, bets and group projects force them to reconsider their fierce academic rivalry and maybe, possibly, discover that there's a thin line between love and hate.

Summary
Harry has faced challenge after challenge every year since he learned that he’s a wizard. A troll, a possessed professor, a basilisk, the shade of Voldemort, dementors, and an accidental werewolf attack, just to name a few. But he’s never faced these dangers alone. Ron and Hermione have been by his side every step of the way, and that gives him the courage to fight against even the most impossible odds.
And then Harry’s name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, Ron turns his back on him in a fit of jealousy, and Hermione finds herself caught between the only two friends she’s ever had, accomplishing nothing but driving them even further apart from both each other and herself.
Nothing is the same anymore, and it never will be again.
-
Or: Ron turning his back on Harry has far graver consequences than anyone could have ever anticipated, and it forever alters the course of wizarding history.

Summary
Blue is Kanto Champion for thirty-nine minutes.
That’s it. Technically, he’s part of the Hall of Fame, technically he’s an accepted Champion. Technically, the title was his once, so it will always be his. Technically, he can’t lose it. He just loses being the present Champion.
He also, briefly, held the Kanto record for youngest ever Pokemon League champion. That was until Red, three months younger, caught up to him.
Really, Blue hadn’t even been surprised.

Summary
There is a strange air of mystery around Mo Xuanyu, and no wonder: nobody knows where Mo Xuanyu comes from. All they know is that he is purportedly a chess genius, a rival to rival all rivals, but Lan Zhan knows there has only ever been one man who could truly rival him. Not even a man—a boy. Lan Zhan himself had been a boy at the time, barely seventeen. Wei Ying had been a bright spark, a flash of light in the dark. Their rivalry was the talk of the chess world. They would sit across from one another at tournaments, Wei Ying's cocky grin insufferable under the bright lights of the ballroom, his voice mocking: "What, Lan-er-gege, can't think of a countermove?"
It's against the rules to talk. That had never stopped Wei Ying.

Shouto’s first reaction to that was an unexpected rush of warmth at Midoriya’s confirmation of their friendship, his second reaction was wow, Midoriya could have a PhD in Bakugoulogy, and his third reaction was the realization that there was a Pandora’s box of Bakugou’s pent-up rage and he was holding it in his hands.
So like any other emotionally repressed sixteen year old faced with the opportunity to unleash absolute chaos, Shouto turned the lock and opened the door.

“I don’t get it,” Toph asks Katara after her fifth rant about the mysterious appearance of Zuko. “Is he hot?”
“Toph!” Katara yelps, scandalized.
“That wasn’t a no.”
Katara storms off in a huff. She’s not going to put up with such undignified behavior.
Okay, fine, so Zuko was hot. Who cares? Not Katara. She certainly didn’t think that the healing cut across his face made him look dashing. That was some romance novel nonsense, and Katara only read those in secret. She certainly would never allow herself to think such things.
High School AU: Katara is a gifted student obsessed with track and field. Then Zuko shows up to mess up all her best-laid plans with his stupid, hot, annoying self.
