One Piece

Future in the name

by charlie_mou

Soulmates AU where everyone is born with a name of their soulmate on their body but the name isn't always a birth name of the person - it's one of their names, the one name that will make the biggest impact on the world. Strawhats had it weird and Law didn't know what was going on until he did and regretted.   Or Strawhat Pirates Guide on how (not) to find your soulmate. Or why Law is going to have a heart attack before the age of thirty. I would also recommend reading Fire of the name, the first piece in this AU, but it's not necessary to understand.

My Hero Academia

Guardian

by DomineeringScarves

Shouto's life has been less than perfect. With an abusive father and his path in life laid out before him with no choice in the matter it can be rather hard to face the word as it is. At least he has help from his best friend, really his guardian angel, Izuku. The kid who magically appeared at his house one day when he was eight and stayed ever since. Now with Shouto starting school at Yuuei, Izuku is coming with him...just in a different form. Aka the fanfiction where Midoriya has undoubtedly the most powerful quirk in existence but mainly uses it to better the life of his best friend Shouto.***ON HIATUS AS OF 7/8/2020***
