    Summary

    Modern cultivator, Wei Wuxian, dies in a train crash and is sent back in time to the period of Ancient China he had been writing his thesis on - transmigrated into his own body as a child, dying on the streets of Yiling. He has no money, no family, but a knowledge of modern cultivation and of the historical events that are about to unfold.

    He recalls the recently-unearthed journal of a woman who was imprisoned in Cloud Recesses against her will, and decides that she’s a good place to start to find someone who might be willing to help him dismantle the corruption that had sent the Cultivation World into the Dark Ages so long ago.

    Of course, he had no idea that the person he sought would be the mother of Hanguang-Jun, the object of Wei Wuxian's fascination (“obsession,” his friend had corrected), since he had first learned of his existence in the ancient texts he'd studied.

    Summary

    When a villain sends Izuku and Katsuki hundreds of years into the past, their only mode of escape relies on solving an impossible riddle: what is the beauty of all life?

    Alone, quirkless, and separated from everything they know, Izuku and Katsuki have to work together and embrace their unspoken love and devotion towards one another if they ever hope to return home.

    ***

    "What if it takes us like… ten years to get back? D'you ever worry about that?"

     

    What if we never get back?

     

    "'Course I do, nerd." Kacchan says it with more fondness in his voice than Izuku knew him capable. "And if we're gonna be stuck here a while, maybe we should start living our lives… here."

    MESSED ME UP

    Summary

    "So let me get this straight," Roy leaned back in his chair as if the physical toll of processing this information was too much. "You were thirteen yesterday, but you fused with your future self and now look eighteen, the military is full of monsters, we need to kill the Fuhrer to save the country, and you've apparently time-traveled to tell us all this."
    Edward grimaced. "I didn't time-travel on purpose, and I'm fucking twenty-eight, you bastard."
    Roy cracked the smallest smile at the retort, and the expression shot an arrow straight through Edward's chest. Shit. He didn't know it was possible, but his heart was breaking more and more each time Roy looked his way.
    "I see your fond nickname for me hasn't changed over the years." He chuckled.
    Edward felt something inside him break. The realization barely hit him at that moment; Edward was completely and unequivocally *still* in love with this man.
    Fuck.

    (AKA time travel fic where Roy and Ed DID end up together originally, but it didn't work out so well. Edward is hurting, Roy is trying, and both are trying to not make the same mistakes-- though it's an extra challenge considering Edward won't tell anyone what even happened in the future--)

    LAWD This is sooooooo good - legit read it straight (I’m excused but idc).
    I like how the author copies some of the harsh realities of marriages, how you may sift apart and the not know the person you once loved. How two complex characters would have their issues. I love how smart Maes is depicted as well 🙌🏾. Jeez when Roy finds out he’s the husband that he hates…. This is gonna get messy and I’m here for it. Ch15 (hoping for more updates!!!)
