Summary
Bakugo is right there in front of him, a scarred hand gripping his neck from within the purple mist.
His own body is beaten up to all hell and more exhausted than he has ever been before. Still. . .
Plus Ultra, yeah?
Or:
Canon divergence with some crack treated seriously: Izuku manages to save Bakugo at the end of the Forest Training Camp attack, but falls through the portal and is accidentally kidnapped himself.

Summary
(ABANDONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE - I'm sorry TwT)
After the worst day yet of his life, Izuku must grapple with being quirkless while also being able to do things only people with certain quirks could do. Losing what little family he has, and taking to the streets to figure himself, and the world, out. Along the way, he finds people he likes and begin to rely on, until his family has become bigger than ever, and he truly walks onto the road to reach his goal of becoming a hero.
Aka I love fics where Izuku isn't fully human, and tries to pass of his non-quirk powers/in-human-ness off as a quirk. So I wrote my own version, with vigilante Izuku and eventual (he appears in chapter 2) Dadzawa. I love me a good Izuku having to deal with bullshit and getting increasingly used to crazy shit.
This fic is Beta-ed by my wonderful friend Elhlin. Thank you for being a part of this project from the very start.

Summary
It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.
Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.

Bookmarker's Notes
Fic so good I didn't merely go back to the level of hyperfixation about HTTYD and ROTG I had at 14, but shattered my previous record so hard I'm now reading the OG HTTYD book series and making my own AUs and Scenarios.
Jack and Jamie gets sent back in time to Berk where they learn about vikings, dragons, themselves and even family. Berk doesn't know what hit it (alongside the Blizzard). Hiccup and Astrid would prefer to be more suspicious about the suspicious brothers.
The Snow Queen is scary ;-;
Hiccup/Jack Frost, accidental tine travel and humanization, love at first flight, Jack is a big brother even when he doesn't know it. Toothless the wingman. Astrid the axe and shovel carrier.

Summary
Wild had a terrible awful no good bad day when he meets the Chain stuck wearing the Ancient Hero’s Aspect.
How is he supposed to explain that he isn’t always a giant cat-boi? Who will be the better cuddler, him or Wolfie? Will Flora ever stop laughing at his predicament?
Pure fluff and crack taken seriously. Have fun and let me know any suggestions!

Summary
“What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”
And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.
“I want to go to college.”
And Talia had made that happen for him.
(AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)
