Summary
I shift, untucking my chest and arms so I can sit up in bed. "Earlier, when you asked for a laptop as a gift—I know this is probably just, uh, homophones—but it kind of sounded like you said my name?"
He sets his tools down so that he can stomp his feet and turn in a circle—something I've started to understand is a gesture of mild embarrassment.
«…is stupid.»
OR: Rocky, Grace, and the art of reacting to your best friend telling you that you're the literal answer to his prayers

Hitchhiker's guide to somehow not creating a time paradox by Nine_Tails0710

Summary
The Force and the Manda, though to some people they were one and the same, decided that the universe needed a do-over. Picking and choosing people from multiple points in the timeline, whether they were one with the universe or not, and sending them back to a point in time where most of this timeline's problems originated.
Read as three groups of people whose lives are intertwined and connected through various ways, somehow figure out their place in a time where they're either very young or not even a thought in their ancestors' heads. They somehow bring the world to a more balanced time through increasingly unconventional means, and possibly the downfall of a few governments, syndicates, and factions.

Summary
The Force was never clean and neither were the hands of those who dared to try and master it.
The Skyriver galaxy is threatened by an ancient darkness. Fractured souls and forgotten warriors search for meaning amid a haunting return of what was thought long dead and buried.
As factions clash, the fragile line separating hero from villain blurs into nothingness. In a galaxy submerged beneath relentless tides of darkness and chaos, redemption is often a deadly gamble, alliances dissipate like smoke in rain, and survival often means confronting-and perhaps embracing-the very darkness you once vowed to annihilate.
*The story follows four main protagonists in a shifting first person POV tale.

Summary
Time is a fickle thing.
One day you are young, playing in the rain with a smile etched onto your face. The next day you are old, graduating college and stressing about bills and student loans.
Then in the next, you are young again, too young and too scared as you are told that you are going to be sent on a suicide mission to save your planet- and in the next heartbeat you are old again, walking with a cane and greying around the edges.
In the blink of an eye you realize that you only thought you were old back when you were young because you were naive, you thought you knew all the world had to offer. But now you know the truth, because now you are actually old and you know you could never even begin to imagine to know all twists and turns of the universe.
Then, inexplicably, you are so so so very young again.
And isn't that a shock for Ryland Grace to wake up to.

Summary
Iruka Umino survives the Konoha Crush, but the peace that follows is anything but quiet. Nightmares stalk his sleep, the Academy demands more of him each day, and the village keeps moving while he stays stuck in the ashes of the past. When an ANBU mission leaves Kakashi Hatake critically wounded, Iruka is the one Pakkun drags into the dark to keep him alive.
Bringing Kakashi home should have been temporary—just a few days of monitoring burns and broken ribs. Instead, it becomes something neither of them planned: shared mornings over tea, quiet dinners, the steady ache of grief eased by proximity. Kakashi sees the strength Iruka hides, the talent he buries, and the wounds Mizuki left behind. Iruka sees the man behind the mask, exhausted and reckless, and still trying to save the entire world alone.
Or Kakashi and Iruka finally realize they choose each other and navigate old enemies and old bloodlines together.

Summary
Sometimes, when two Eridians have a strong connection, they swap bodies. This is typically taken as a sign that they are supposed to mate. Rocky has swapped bodies with Adrian many times, but he never thought he’d swap with an alien.
Swapping will improve communication dramatically, giving them more access to each other’s languages, so this development is really good for the mission.
Unfortunately, the alien isn’t taking this very well.

Summary
Mark Grayson, a seemingly normal teenager and son of Omni Man, finds himself in his senior year of high school still waiting for his own powers to emerge. That is until he sent that trash bag into orbit, his power finally came and it took him 17 years. Unbeknownst to Mark, his normal human best friend, William Clockwell, is anything but normal and human.
Raised by his single police dad, William has secretly possessed powers since he was eight. His dad, who met and with a rather mysterious woman during a hiking trip, believed she was a cult escapee given her being foreign with the most basic things and when she mysteriously vanished, only to leave baby William on his doorstep with a cryptic note. Believing William's powers stemmed entirely from the Clockwell's past magical lineage, the dad secretly trained his son, determined to protect him from government or GDA interference.
As Viltrumite's true nature comes to light and revealed Earth has had two Viltrumite hybrids this whole time, Mark discovers what it means to be the half human half alien hero Invincible. Meanwhile, William must be Willpower to figure out the mystery of his mother.

Summary
Grace’s foot caught on the bottom of your cardigan. He tried to catch himself, but it was to no avail. After a few seconds, he crashed, hard, into your lap.
You, thankfully, cushioned his fall. It could’ve been a lot worse. You were only a couple days away from retrieving the predator sample, and Grace couldn’t very well collect anything with a broken bone. He heaved a sigh in relief.
“Uh, Ryland?”
The relief he’d felt moments ago was replaced with dread. Grace shot up from where he’d landed and saw you covered in Rocky’s powdered 'seasoning'. He glanced down at himself after.
The gloves had kept his hands safe- yay! But, every other inch of his body was coated with the same power. The now empty, deep jar sat just a few inches away from the two of you.
Oh god. Nearly everything on Erid was lethal to humans. Grace very well might have just killed the two of you, and Erid and Earth could kiss the solution to their problems goodbye.
or: grace and reader have a cultural exchange with rocky in the form of video interviews. in the middle of one, they get an accidental, large dose of what ends up being sex pollen for them and have to bang it out. a lot.

Summary
An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.
Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.
Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.

Summary
Time has always been strange in the Oldest House, stretching and contracting, bending around Thresholds and Altered Items. But never folding back in on itself, never creating a loop. And Emily would have continued to believe that too, if a chance convergence of events hadn't landed her squarely in the middle of the temporal relationship between Jesse, the House, and the Board.
Or
Jesse keeps dying, but she also keeps getting better, and for some reason, only Emily remembers. -

Summary
No one is quite sure where Inigo, Owain, and Severa went, three years after Grima’s demise—just that they left questions and broken hearts in their wake, and a strange new threat that’s beginning to spread across the continent from their last known location.
In truth, the Ylissean trio has found themselves a literal world away from home in the land of Nohr. Without even their true names to guide them, they’ve been thrust into the service of a crown prince of questionable loyalties, a smothering yet foreboding princess, and a dark knight-to-be harboring even darker secrets. Firmly entangled into the royal family’s issues, they’re beginning to learn war can mean far more than the clap of magic and the glint of steel. No one is safe, not when everyone has an angle to play against someone else and secrets betrayed can do more damage than any blade.
In the end, it may be more than the fate of Nohr and Hoshido resting on one young woman’s shoulders. And for those left behind, perhaps sitting back and believing the lost will return won’t be enough.
(Begins three years after the end of Whatever It Takes and two weeks after Unbecoming; begins April 1019 LS and April 635 ND)

Summary
Draco’s plans for his future are cleanly laid out. He’ll follow his father’s footsteps in becoming a politician and Death Eater, thus marching alongside the Dark Lord for the new wizarding world. With the fear of his father’s disappointment and subsequent anger looming over him, he’s determined to prove himself and earn his place as the Malfoy heir.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t expecting Dumbledore to drop him in a realm filled with demons and witches and untold magic. Nor was he expecting to get kidnapped by an owl lady, her dog, and her muggle apprentice.
Least of all, he wasn’t expecting to gain his freedom and a true family.
