Ottawa Centaurs - The Mockumentary

by LunarMoonstone

'This is what happens when the social media manager for the Ottawa Centaurs just finished rewatching the entirety of The Office for the 3rd time' “What a fucking nerd,” Ilya laughed, his eyes following Shane across the ice. The camera swung between them before eventually landing back on Ilya. “I want to eat him,” Luca blinked at him, horror slowly etching onto his face. “Like...sexually or...literally? Behind the camera, Harris cleared his throat to remind them of his presence. Ilya’s eyes never left Shane, who was still berating Troy by citing some charts from his clipboard. “Yes,” Haas looked into the camera in utter fear. Alternatively, The Office Fic

Who's Old Now?

by LiraBuswavi

“Am I your dad!!?” Billy shouted. Danny paused. Took a deep breath in and out before turning to him. “I’m gonna need you to back up, and explain. Please.” Or, what happens when a twelve year old masquerading as an adult superhero calls his guardian, an adult who can also turn into a child superhero, on speaker phone, in front of the Justice League.

Where your love has always been enough (for me)

by classicequinox

It's a dark coil of anger deep in the pit of his stomach, reminding him that he was the root, the catalyst, the trigger for their family's downward spiral. It did happen - he reminds himself harshly. He can't forget that, even if time has actually reset itself. Todoroki Enji gets a second chance. It's up to him to see what he can do with it.

Amateur Cartography

by worksofstone

That one-night stand with Draco Malfoy was a mistake. Hermione doesn't make mistakes, or at least she isn't supposed to. She's working hard at her Ministry career, however frustrating and pointless her job may be, and she's also got to live up to everyone's expectations as Hogwarts's most famous Muggle-born and a top-tier War Hero. So, why is she still sleeping with Draco Malfoy, ex-Death Eater and infamous pureblood? And why isn't she certain that she wants to stop?

cotton candy hands

by chonideno

Studying to become a hero requires knowing how to take care of yourself. Sometimes you might need help on the way so if your crush offers to do your hair for you or to give you a well-deserved back rub, it'd be stupid to say no. A series of soft vignettes in which a love-struck Kirishima and a touch-starved Bakugou care for each other and it's definitely not making their hearts jump through hoops, they’re never this close to kissing, no, they're totally best friends bro

time flies by (bye)

by WHYISEVERYNAMETAKEN

[BEING REWRITTEN AS 'OH FUCK TIME IS FLYING' BECAUSE WHAT WAS I ON THIS FIRST TIME AROUND????] "Maybe," Peter thought, "I can make a life here." Hence the tears and the guilt and the grief, because was Peter allowed to move on? Was he allowed to… to leave it all behind? Leave all the bad things in the past? Peter was "The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!" after all, and wasn’t he letting Queens - his people - down if he didn’t fight tooth and nail to get back to them? or Peter's tired. He's so tired, and he doesn't know what to do, but maybe things will get better. (They do.) -- OR Spider-Man: Finally Home technically inspired by Dark Matter by mysterycyclone but really only the "Peter in the DC Universe" part

by RejectsCanon

He's too young, too inexperienced, and while he may have helped save the world, there was also a time when he was working against it. It's not until they meet Firelord Zuko for themselves do they realize he is not at all what they had assumed. Or, various world leaders and their reactions to meeting Firelord Zuko for the first time.

Seasons of Falling Flowers

by merakily

Like a parasite, Wei Wuxian has this way of growing on people when you least expect it.Over the seasons, Lan Qiren slowly pieces back together his relationship with Wangji and learns to like Wei Wuxian in the process. (“Will you rejoin your sect?” As soon as the words leave his mouth, Lan Qiren regrets his wording. He is not surprised when Wangji’s eyes narrow, flashing with offence. “There is no need to rejoin what one has never left. I did not turn my back on my sect. My sect turned their backs on me.”)
