Summary
A missed connection on the way home from Hermione's family ski trip in the middle of fifth year changes everything, and causes Hermione to question some implicit assumptions of the wizarding world.
It also lays the groundwork for her inexorable collision in the Department of Mysteries with the /last/ woman to hold the title of "Brightest Witch of Her Age" -- Bellatrix Black Lestrange.
And their battle will lead to the very situation they both want least--together, a struggle to survive, far away from any support.

Summary
The underworld is real, but not in the way most people imagine it to be.
There’s no fire, no brimstone; it’s a place in space, existing on the sieves of our dimension, populated with creatures that breathe magic like humans do air. Since the birth of reality, the world of magic and the world of humans have existed on their own separate planes --
But as of sixty years ago, the lines between the planes began to blur. An ancient, unseeable force is tearing at the seams from one reality to another, spewing forth daemons and forcing humanity to the edge of the world. No one knows why, and no one knows how -- only that if it manages to cross into the physical plane it will spell doom for both realities alike.
In the face of such unknown evil, one organization stands between salvation and armageddon --
the world’s last bastion against the daemons: Underworld Aberrations.Fresh out of UA’s esteemed demon-hunting academy, Midoriya Izuku finds himself in the heart of a dying city with nothing to survive but his wit, the daemon he’s tethered to, and a team with a goal worth dying for.
Updates at least once every two weeks.

Summary
The future is a pretty complicated place, where everything can happen, and nothing is known for certain. One boy knows just how irritating it can be. Especially when you are surrounded by people who you do not trust and whom you constantly need to keep secrets from.
Oscar Pine had lived in Evernight Castle, serving at Lady Salem's side for as long as he had known. He always knew his place. And he always knew who he should be scared of. But a chance glance into the future changes everything, and now Oscar needs to brave the world on his own, looking for new allies among enemies and making amends for mistakes in the past. That being said, it doesn't seem like a hard mission. But, actually seeing something would help as well.

Thors Officer School, ToCS1 Outside the Fairy Tale by wuolong77

Summary
When Falcom made the early drafts for Sen no Kiseki, Class VII members were supposed to be officer cadets attending an officer school. Those plans were then discarded resulting in the Thors Military Academy we all know and love.
This story is a reimagining of the Cold Steel Saga. A hypothetical scenario in which Falcom never abandoned their original plan. It includes an aged up Class VII and a more immediate plot compared to canon. There will also be more military themes, more politics, more character introspection and a breakdown of Kiseki orbal arts and martial arts.
In other words: plot first, character development and worldbuilding second, romance third.

Summary
Being born as the fifth child of the once prosperous Tsunemori family has never been easy for Honōka. Throw in the fact that she was Tachibana Tomoe first, a troubled girl from Tokyo who grew up in the 90s, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Having struggled with social cues even as Tomoe, being stuck in the infant body of Tsunemori Honōka does not help her case. As the only dark-haired child born to fair-haired parents, Honōka faces hostility, uncertainty, and abuse from the members of her new family.
A child that does not resemble their parents is, as they say, the child of an oni.

Summary
What would you do if you had the chance to change history?
After dying in a dangerously overheated future not too far off from our own, an isolated young man is shocked to wake up in the Victorian era, a reincarnation which very much does not agree with any scientific theory he is aware of. There are upsides to this disappointment. He finds himself the older brother of one John Watson, and makes the acquaintance of the Holmes family, although he tries not to get too attached in case they get in the way of his goals, he isn't very successful.
In particular, there is troubled young genius Mycroft Holmes...
Includes:
The origins of the name Moriarty and some of the Moriarty Brothers' first capers
Rescuing people from a human zoo
An aurora that infamously melted telegraph lines worldwide
Invention of cinematography, phonographs and primitive radio
Thylacines
A murder
Attempting to pick a fight with the entire British Empire
Mycroft beginning to take on his role in government (this mayy lead to some conflict with the above...)I wanted a time travel fic where someone tries to fight imperialism or make future tech, couldn't find any. Recs appreciated.

Summary
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a smart man.
He was the third Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, star pupil of Senju Tobirama, hailed as the second God of Shinobi, and master of ten thousand jutsu. But, as he stares down at the result of the latest botched space-time jutsu, one taken from the Nidaime’s Forbidden Archive and modified by Hiruzen himself, he wonders how smart he really is to have something backfire this badly.
Because there is a tiny, angry, twelve-year-old Uchiha Madara with only one-tomoe sharingan, yelling and brandishing a kunai at him. And clinging to Madara’s arm is an equally tiny Senju Hashirama, shaking and alarmingly pale.
Hiruzen closes his eyes and sighs.
Truly a smart man.
OR: The one where Yamato gets his own rather unique genin team comprised of a ghost, a god, and an assassin, and the timeline will never be the same.

Summary
It was a stormy winter night when Lady Alcina Dimitrescu finds a lone figure wandering the area. They are utterly exhausted and she could have left them to die. Except she doesn't. She takes them in, nurses them back to health, because this person isn't human. Sure they look very much human but aren't. So what are they?
The figure in question was once a superhero to the world until the world decided to reject them and blame them for things that went wrong. Leaving the life of a hero behind, the figure has lost all purpose and simply wanders without a thought or care.
Can a second chance be given in the hidden depths of Romania? Can a vampire Countess and an outsider find themselves in each other? Is there more to the immortal life than the same old? What role does morality play when either side simply wants to live?
And what about ancient pacts? The very plans lurking in the back that bind four powerful houses together?

Summary
It was only a matter of time before Divinity caught up with them, and now it's all Sanga and Ashivon can do to deal with the fallout. War is on the horizon, but even with the people of Devan-Voa at their side bringing an end to Divinity once and for all might just cost more than what anybody will be able to pay. Battles are being fought out on the mainland, centuries-old secrets emerging in their wake, and it's not long before our weary heroes realize that they're not the only ones who are running from the unforgiving past.
Or: in which history does not stay buried forever, magic often has unexpected side effects, people are usually just trying to do what they think is right, and healing is best done in the company of friends.
Title was inspired by the song "I of the Storm" from Of Monsters and Men
