    Azmiria Hawthorne was never supposed to become important to Draco Malfoy. She was a Hufflepuff. Stubborn, curious, entirely too comfortable with dirt beneath her fingernails, and far too willing to question the things he had always been taught were true. They were friends first. Then growing up got in the way. Across seven years at Hogwarts, friendship becomes distance, jealousy, grief, impossible choices, and something neither of them knows how to name until the world around them is already falling apart. As Azmiria learns who she wants to become, Draco is pulled deeper into the expectations of his family and a future that seems increasingly determined for him. She sees the good in him. She also sees the choices he makes. Because Azmiria cannot save Draco Malfoy. She cannot love the darkness out of him. She cannot make his decisions for him. And she cannot spend her life waiting for him to become the person she believes he could be. She can challenge him. She can love him. She can show him that another path exists. But Draco has to choose it himself. A canon-adjacent Draco Malfoy × Hufflepuff OC slow burn about friendship, grief, growing up, and the painful truth that sometimes loving someone isn't enough to save them. 🐍 Draco Malfoy × Hufflepuff OC 🪻 Slow burn | Friends first | Canon-adjacent ✨ Year One through the Battle of Hogwarts

    Outside of Japan, sorcerers are rare. Most work alone. But when a rapidly evolving curse begins moving toward Japan, Canadian curse hunter Aria Monroe follows it across the Pacific expecting a simple exorcism and learns that inside Tengen's barrier, her skills will be tested. Satoru Gojo has problems of his own. The Higher-Ups are already breathing down his neck because they dislike how he teaches, what he believes, the future he's trying to build, and his investment in 'unconventional' students. So when an unauthorized foreign sorcerer starts exorcising curses in their territory, the Higher-Ups see an opportunity: make her Gojo's responsibility and wait for one of them to make a mistake. Gojo knows a political trap when he sees one. What he can't figure out is how Aria (a capable sorcerer with a strange cursed technique and terrible fundamentals) has survived long enough to become the problem in front of him. Instead, they find themselves caught in a conspiracy surrounding the theft of powerful cursed objects known as the 'Fasting Tethers', artifacts capable of unsealing an ancient curse beneath the Arctic. Together, they'll have to find out who's behind the theft before the Tethers are used to unleash a catastrophe. *Jujutsu Kaisen was created by Gege Akutami*

    Mio Kitamura has lived abroad for the last 4 years. Yet before that, she was arguably Kyoya Ootori's closest friend. Now she has returned, in an attempt to escape her previous life abroad. And she is convinced that the only reason she is surrounding herself with Kyoya and the other hosts is for financial benefit. But deep down, it's a lot deeper than she would like to admit. Kyoya Ootori knows exactly why she's here. But little by little his defenses fall, and he's slowly finding himself falling back into old habits. The two attempt to figure out their own feelings without exposing themselves, while also simultaneously trying to read the other. This is only amplified when the two are forced to maintain a fake relationship for the sake of Mio's well-being. But will the universe allow them to logically and rationally discover their newfound feelings, or will they be forced apart yet again, into different worlds?

    Scatter the truth. Wear no crown. Before Aisling "Ash" Blackwater ever set foot in Slytherin, a vow tied her family to the sea and to secrecy. This canon-adjacent collection braids the Blackwater line from the child Helena smuggled out of Albania to Ash's parents-Ciarán, a too-young investigator with a fox Patronus, and Nerida, a merrow whose songs listen more than lure. Told through letters, case files, songs, and even the voice of a silver pendant, these stories chart holidays at the Burrow, a July night in St. Mungo's when a boy named Harry is born, the lakefront moment that costs Ciarán James Potter's friendship, a midnight brew that begins a wary alliance with Severus Snape, and a rain-slick bridge where Ciarán shows care to a marked man anyway. They carry us through Nerida's murder when Ash is eight, Ciarán's final investigation before her eleventh birthday, and the day a pale boy in a Ministry lift offers Ash a sugar quill she'll never forget. Every Blackwater dies between twenty-five and thirty. Still, the oath endures-passed palm to palm like a warm coin: Scatter the truth; wear no crown. For readers who love character-driven HP AUs, found-document storytelling, quiet loyalty, Irish sea-magic, and the kind of hope that survives the tide. Content notes: bereavement; implied/briefly described violence; war themes; compassionate handling.

    Reincarnation, sure. Sounds nice in practice. A new life, a chance to maybe live differently. One tiny problem... pretty sure you weren't supposed to REMEMBER your past. And you definitely weren't supposed to land in a video game. Terrific. Hope whatever God I offended gets a real kick before a monster eats me.

    "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩." ╰┈➤ RISING OF THE SHIELD HERO | FEMALE READER You always dreamed in color; there was something so powerful about the worlds you could create with your eyes scrunched tight that you never wanted to leave them. You'd escape to them in your sleep, blankets wrapped tightly around you as you let your eyes drift shut, only to return to the real world when the sun came up. Only this time, you wouldn't be leaving. You found yourself on a stone floor, a green hoodie smelling softly of coffee and old books draped over you, surrounded by figures you didn't recognize. While three of the men, dressed more similarly to you, stood by and argued with the figures, the fourth, now jacketless, sat by your side. Was he...protecting you while you slept? Soon, you'd be forced to fight alongside the strange men, as the fifth hero of legend: The Mage Hero. Little did you know, you would have your own rules to play by, and if the kingdom of Melromarc didn't follow your lead, they'd have more issues to deal with than the waves of destruction.

    Set during Season 8, Episode 10 of King of the Hill ("Mega Lo Dale"), this is a quiet, off-camera story about a man Arlen never notices. Keith works the floor at the newly opened Mega Lo Mart - one of the nameless employees who clocks in, stocks shelves, and disappears before anyone important learns his name. As rumors of pests, conspiracies, and something stranger spread through the aisles, Keith drifts at the edges of the episode you already know - helping where he can, staying out of sight where he must, and never quite seeing the full picture himself. This isn't a retelling. It's what happens around the story. If you've ever wondered what Mega Lo Dale looks like after the camera cuts - this is for you. --- I will be posting this story on Royal Road ---

    If you want a fanfic following Jinx x OC, please visit the first edition of The Domino Effect. This is just revised for canon adjacent purposes. This edition follows Domino as a canon League of Legends Champion or in an alternate timeline. So Jomino shippers, get ready for angst. Some chapters may look the same, that's intentional as Domino's past remains unchanged, I'll try my best to fix up the wording with my present writing abilities though. So there may be redesigns and lore included. Stuff that has been there but you haven't fully noticed before. Nonetheless, when the timeline diverges is when things get weird. But as aforementioned, this is just for game canon purposes, it's not like the first one. In my heart the first one is canon. This is just... Me and homework for portfolio stuff.

    You live in Woking, close enough to see the glass walls to McLaren's world but never meant to be part of it. He lives in a life where every move is watched, every word is measured, and nothing is ever private. When you meet the timing is all wrong, the risks are obvious, and walking away should be easy. But in a season full of noise, cameras, and pressure, something quiet starts to matter more than anything else and neither of you is ready for what happens when the one thing you can't manage is each other.

    Collected chaos, crimes, and cursed commentary from the people who shouldn't be left unsupervised. What started as mission logs devolved into glitter-fueled war crimes, airborne goats, sentient jerky grudges, and Solari's armor singing backup vocals. Compiled by Nysera "Captain Glittergob" Veyne (definitely not sanctioned by command), these scrolls document the absolute worst best moments of the Shadow Hand. Canon-adjacent. Emotionally devastating. Irrefutably hilarious.

    He was created to be a legend. Instead, they tried to erase him. K-263 is a genetic copy of Anakin Skywalker-grown in secrecy, sealed in cryogenic stasis, and abandoned when his creators realized he lacked the one thing they wanted most: a connection to the Force. Declared a failure, Kane is placed into Cryostasis to be destroyed later - but he was forgotten instead. Now awake decades after his creation, Kane survives by staying unseen-traveling under borrowed names, hiding on forgotten worlds, and learning what it means to exist without destiny guiding his path. He is not the man he was cloned from. He carries no memories, no prophecy, and no place in the Skywalker myth. But the galaxy does not forget its experiments. As new powers rise from the ashes of the old, Kane is forced to confront a question no one ever meant him to ask: If you were created for a purpose that rejected you... what do you become when you survive anyway? K-263: The Skywalker Clone is the first story in Star Wars: The Fractured Galaxy, a character-driven saga about legacy, identity, and the lives shaped in the shadow of legend.

    Azmiria Hawthorne never expected Draco Malfoy to become important to her. They meet by chance before their first year at Hogwarts, two children from very different families who should have had little reason to understand one another. But year after year, they keep finding their way back into each other's lives. Through friendship and grief, jealousy and first love, choices made and choices regretted, Azmiria and Draco grow up together as the world around them becomes increasingly dangerous. And as childhood gives way to war, they will have to decide which parts of themselves were inherited, which were chosen, and whether caring for someone is enough when the paths they choose keep pulling them apart. A seven-year Draco Malfoy × Original Character story following the events of the Harry Potter series from first year through the Battle of Hogwarts.
