Undertow | Ekko x Reader by duhshereadz

"You think you can keep running forever? That's not a life, that's just surviving. And I'm offering you a chance to live-to do something that matters. Not for him. Not for Silco. But for Zuan." ***An Ekko x Self Insert Fanfiction*** -Story begins a few days before season 1 episode 4- In the depths of Zaun, where the air is thick with smoke and desperation, Y/N moves like a shadow-hood drawn low, carrying secrets heavier than the smog that chokes the streets. Bound to Silco by necessity rather than loyalty, she's his blade in the dark, erasing loose ends and leaving questions unanswered. She tells herself it's for the good of the Undercity, for the dream of something better. But every task carves deeper doubts into her resolve. And then there's Ekko. The boy who escaped the cycle of ruin, now a man leading the Firelights with hope burning in his chest. He sees what Zaun could be-what it should be-and he sees through her, past the shroud of guilt and guarded walls. Their paths tangle in the chaos of rebellion, their shared goal forcing them together, even as the weight of their differences threatens to pull them apart. Y/N is torn between two worlds-one built on control and destruction, the other on fragile dreams. As she battles her own demons and the ghosts of the Undercity, she begins to question if salvation is even possible in a place that only knows tragedy.

𝐀 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 -Ekko- by Luvnarra

She was a thief, known only as a shadow, hiding from a past that threatened to consume her. He was a savior, determined to bring light to a broken city and to those who needed it. But could he save someone who didn't want saving? Reach someone who had learned to trust no one? Doesn't light scare away the shadows? When their worlds collided, could their love and care truly heal the wounds they both carried or would their bond only bring more pain? Would it only deepen the scars? A/n. This is an Ekko x oc story. I'm telling y'all, it's a slow burn, so please bear with me🙏🏼 Also English isn't my first language so please don't be shy to correct my mistakes

Aymee Parker B2 - The Cursed Mark by 0reoblanc

English version of the second volume of Aymee Parker's serie. Aymee returns for her second year at Hogwarts and, contrary to what she thought, the tensions between the houses are far from being appeased. On the contrary! Since this damn mark appeared, everyone is looking for a culprit! Not to mention the return of Annelise Chevalier, who seems determined to discover her secret. "Dear students, we present to you the Mark of the Loser. Whoever wears it will be the victim of their karma. Friendship will be your salvation or your end here. Justice will be done: you are solely responsible for your misfortunes." On the side of the colony, it is not better! Relations are just as catastrophic: everyone is choosing sides, there are even spies! Aymee fears that the great prophecy will come true and destroy the closest thing she has to a home. Sources for this volume: - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (for lessons and all) - Percy Jackson 2 - Sea of Monsters - The Demigods diaries (especially Son of Magic, which follows Alabaster) (It's set in 1989-90. The universes belong to JKRowling and RRiordan respectively. I just created the story and some characters. There are some jokes that are inspired from Pinterest or Tumblr. Please do not plagiarize!)

Back In time by creammeier

"Well then, there must be a reason why you aren't able to keep your eyes off me in the market today, Miss Wellesley." He whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my back. "Don't flatter yourself," I took a step back, "it's just that you're the first person I think the word 'ugly' stands for." "Deny all you want, sweetheart." He inched closer and leaned into my ear, "but your face says it all." ___________________ Are you aware of how people lived in the 1800s? Well, I for one, do not. But little did I expect myself to be hurled back in time, to a world where I will have an experience of a lifetime. Meet Ava Winters, a normal and mundane girl who got her heart broken when she stumbled upon her cheating boyfriend with the school's most popular girl. Heartbroken, she shuts herself from the world, only to be left bitter and desolate. But what happens when she finds herself propelled into the Victorian Era? What were the adventures that lay before her? What will she do if she finds herself falling for the big-headed jerk, Nicholas Alexander Clayton? Book 2 is out! Disclaimer: This story has been tweaked from from the original plot that I had in mind. Also, it is purely fictional. I am not an expert in the study of the Victorian Era nor am I aware of the things and activities that people do in those days.

The Time-Traveller's Choice by sennalily

One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...

My Past or Present! by background21

A Past and Present definitely involve the people in it, but they both have more than that to offer. The situations, the choices made for you and the choices made by you in the past were and the choices would be made for you and by you in the present are as important as the people. Is it possible to fight everything in the past and engulf the present? Or will the external factors will delay the desired result of such fight even after going through the fight? The story of another confused person who is self misjudged and misjudged by others in a whole level or maybe only partly. Let us see whether the light can reach the person's heart while giving it to the other due to just a coincidence like the person thinks. --------------- note: need to read Past or Present to under stand this better...

I Became the Timekeeper: Juno and the Minutes of her Shattered Deaths by leenard_14

(WARNING: THIS IS A STORY OF INSANITY. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK) Juno Luminara wields a devastating gift: the power to rewind time at the cost of her own death. Each rewind leaves her scarred with the memory of brutal ends and failures only she can recall. As the chosen Timekeeper, Juno faces a collapsing world consumed by the Void, a force of pure entropy twisting reality into nightmares and spawning monstrous rifts. Her abilities make her humanity's last hope-but also its greatest target. Every use of her power drags Juno closer to madness, blurring the line between reality and illusion. To stop the Void, she must navigate fractured timelines, uncover hidden truths, and outmaneuver enemies who would steal her power. Yet time itself is her greatest adversary, threatening to trap her in an endless cycle of despair. Armed with her wits, determination, and a mysterious system that both aids and endangers her, Juno must fight to rewrite fate before she becomes just another lost fragment in a collapsing timeline. But as the clock ticks down, one question remains: how long can she cheat death before it finally claims her?
