Summary
The Great War has turned the earth to mud and men to ghosts.
Callum Fraser—a medic serving under the British flag—has learned not to believe in heroism. Survival is quieter than that. It is steady hands in the dark, breath counted under shellfire, promises made only to keep a man alive for one more night.
When he pulls Arthur Shelby from a collapsing trench, blood soaking through both their coats, Arjan does not think of fate or meaning. He hums an old song to slow a stranger’s breathing. He holds on because letting go feels like another kind of death.
He remembers the storm-grey eyes that refused to close, the weight of a body clinging to him in the rain, the first fragile sense of home in a world reduced to ash and noise.
Years later, in the streets of Birmingham, memory resurfaces where it does not belong. What should have remained buried with the war begins to breathe again—dangerous, unresolved, and achingly tender.
A story about memory and guilt, about the violence men endure and the mercy that survives it, and about the slow, impossible pull between two lives bound together long before either understood what they were becoming

Summary
Severus Snape was resting his cheek on the table at the faculty meeting. The hateful glare he sent the headmaster's way was only emphasized by the dark shadows under his eyes. "Albus," he said. "I don't care what the board is blackmailing you with. This is hell."
Dumbledore surveyed the roomful of teachers and found not a single person who disagreed.
"I'm sorry, everyone," was his solemn reply, "but the babies are a mandatory project."
(You know that old trope in American teen dramas where they give them the fake baby to raise for home-ec? Yeah.)

Summary
Izuku had done all the research he could - read every published study on the subject, and when that was done, combed the population statistics himself.
A truly quirkless person just didn't exist in his generation. Not in Japan, anyway.
Which left the possibility of a quirk with esoteric activation requirements - and only one quirk counselor who specialized in them.

Summary
He needn't have worried. The small one was strong.
He sees the human many more times since then. It seems as if the herd doesn't venture out without it. He wonders if that one is the pack-leader. It seems logical, but humans are not always creatures of logic.
He forces back memories of that one, and continues to shadow the herd whenever it ventures out. He makes a habit of waiting in the small grouping of trees near the gate so as not to miss one of their outings. Eventually he learns to distinguish the small one from the others even before it takes to the air, and he feels proud of this accomplishment.
Months later, only hours after the humans had returned behind their walls, everything changes.
(In which Eren is not a human that can turn into a Titan, but a Titan that can turn into a human.)

Summary
“What I find absolutely fascinating,” Riddle said, stalking closer, “is you.” He marched forward, backing Harry up until he was pinned to the cool wall of the common room. “Do you know why?”
“No. And I’ll be honest here, Riddle, I don’t particularly care.”
The taller boy grinned at him, small yet infinitely pleased. “That. Right there.” One hand rose and brushed some of Harry’s fringe from his face. “Nathan Ciro was a spineless little boy too afraid of his own shadow to dare even glance in my direction. But you…”
He leaned closer, “You look at me like you want to stab me.”
After an accident, Auror Harry Potter wakes up in the body of fourteen year old Nathan Ciro, a tormented Slytherin who recently tried to end his own life. Seeking answers to his strange predicament, Harry returns to Hogwarts, and causes quite the stir through staff and students - especially when they come to realise he is not the same boy as before.
He tries to avoid suspicion, but as his quest for the truth draws more and more attention to him, Harry begins to think that he might not like what he will discover.
