Summary
Kili is refusing to let anything stop him going on the quest. Fili is, as usual 100% supportive of his little brother and will stop at nothing to defend him (as are the other dwarves). Now all they need to do is convince Thorin to stop being so mean and unfair and let Kili join them. But Kili's age may not be all that's stopping Thorin from letting Kili join them on the quest.
This is non-canon although it still fits with the story. Set pre-book.

Summary
Humans are the lowliest creatures on earth. They hate, lie, cheat, steal, murder, fear, and rape. They are selfish and impulsive. But there is also a good side to humans. They can love, care, heal, save, cooperate, and share. They are determined and thrive anywhere. What if that's all human's could do? What if they did more? In this fic, the Demons of Japan find more in a human's heart than what they thought was there. Can humans rise above the small expectations of their superiors, prove all them wrong and do the unpredictable? The pure power of determination and good will could change everything, and it could all start with one person...

The next day they went to get the hobbit, and since then he hadn’t really been alone with his brother. And now that they were travelling with the whole company, it seemed like he would never get a chance.
If only they could have some time to themselves.. Kili sighed, and looked towards Fili again.

They contain that same, anchoring calm she’s always found in them as they pierce her now, tethering to her him, willing her back to herself, back to him, back to this reality, grounding her and settling her and pulling her back in, containing that untameable power that howls for release.

Summary
Many years ago, sickness took the young Avatar Roku when he was only a child, leaving his friend Sozin to grow up alone. On the day of the comet, Fire Lord Sozin harnessed its energy to wipe out the Air Nomads and shatter the balance of the world. For nearly 100 years, the Fire Nation has oppressed and divided the remaining bending nations.
Now, Aang, a young airbender and former student of Avatar Gyatso himself, has awoken from a hundred year slumber to a world ravaged by war. Though only a child, Aang's destiny is clear--as the last airbender, it is his destiny to teach the current Avatar, to help them realize their full power and allow them to end the war, once and for all.
He just has to find them first.

Summary
At the beginning, it was just a way of venting about his frustrations concerning the bard.
“Musi mieć nierówno pod sufitem.” He must be soft in the head, Geralt says to Roach quietly as he brushes her mane. He glances over his shoulder, looking at Jaskier sitting by the fire and strumming his newly-acquired elven lute. “Nikt o zdrowych zmysłach nie chciałby pisać o mnie pieśni.” Nobody in their right mind would want to write songs about me, the witcher scoffs in an old language which he’s sure the young bard won’t understand.
As years pass, it becomes a safe way to tell Jaskier how he feels. Jaskier doesn't know what he's saying anyway... until one day, he does.
Based on artistsfuneral's take on the prompt "love confessions: in a language you didn't know they understand".

Summary
He knows his name, Uzumaki Naruto, but what does it mean? Where does Uzumaki come from? Is that really even his name? It can’t be a standard name they give orphans, because even when he still stayed in the orphanage, he was the only one with that name. Plenty of kids had no last name at all, which makes it more believable that Uzumaki is his real family name.
But what does that mean? Who are the Uzumaki? Is he the only one left? How can he find out? Were his family shinobi? Merchants? Regular civilians?
He is determined to find out.
...
And it kind of spirals from there in ways he never could have imagined. Who knew that posing a simple question would change his life zo dramatically?

Summary
Donnie wasn’t very good at being a big brother, truth be told. He couldn’t quite get the knack of comforting someone after a nightmare, or saying just the right thing to encourage his little brother. He was much better at being the inventor, or the tech whiz, or the friend Mikey wanted.
But Mikey factored into every decisions he made like a variable in a math equation. How to help him, how to make a giant inflatable suit to protect him, how to grind anyone who was cruel to him into a pulp.
Donatello knew the answer to this one.
“Mikey,” he said slowly, more serious than he’d ever been. “Promise me that when these guys come for us, you’ll hide in your shell and stay there. No matter what.”
———
Donnie isn’t much of a big brother, but when it comes to Mikey, he’ll do anything.

Donnie throttling the enemies of the youngest

Summary
Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.
Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.
(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).
COMPLETE.

This makes me so angry. It is unquestionably one of the best stories I've ever read and, in addition, it has thoroughly sold me on Percy/TMR as a tragic pairing. Yet, I know that I will never find another story with said pairing, let alone one of similar quality.

“What did he do to you?” It’s the only thing Jason can think to ask.
“Sionis?” Tim looks surprised—but so politely surprised, so neutrally surprised, that he’s almost not surprised at all. “He kidnapped me, then he tortured me, then he taught me to run a criminal empire. And then I killed him.”
Jason hears the words without really processing them. Tim’s delivery is so flat that it makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up.
Something’s wrong here, every part of Jason’s brain is telling him.

Timothy Drake, the kid who's spent the last five years being groomed by Black Mask, shows up in Jason's safehouse asking for help to interrupt Scarecrow's plans. he's allegedly just a kid with good intentions, but he's got more red flags than personality traits and Jason shouldn't want to help him, but. well. he's Jason.Series

Summary
Dr. W. D. Gaster is the royal scientist, working directly under King Asgore. After the monsters are sealed underground he is presented with new challenges. Food, water, power, all of these things are a far cry from the endless war machines he had designed on the surface. However, Gaster is eager to get back to the surface, to see the stars again. Despite the King's disapproval, the good doctor decides to take matters into his own hands...
Chapters are long and formatting might be weird, but I'm trying to make it readable. This story starts from the very beginning of the monsters being sealed to beyond the true pacifist ending. It explores the idea of a rather rash, asshole scientist creating Sans and Papyrus via cloning and explores their lives together as a rather dysfunctional family from start to finish.

Summary
Tim knew, from the moment he stepped into a dead boy's suit, that things wouldn't end well.
Except…
There's something different about drowning alone. About falling off a cliff into an icy ocean and knowing that no one's going to save you – not because they couldn't make it in time, but because they didn't even notice you were gone.
***
OR; A shit ton of Tim Drake whump, dubious blood magic, deadly mermaid-esque water spirits, morally grey Tim, Batfam feels, and as many little head cannons as I could feasibly fit in one fic. NOTE: This is NOT a major character death story… (at least, not a traditional one). Major content warnings are tagged, and additional warnings are included in chapter summaries. -

Summary
The roaring of his heart repeated, louder and louder, that this was a turning point. He could go back and nothing would change; he could continue life as he knew it, but in so doing, this path would be closed to him forever.
Or, if he decided, he could walk on, toward the unknown. Maybe it would carry him toward the purple light and flash of a smile, or maybe he would simply become lost, forgotten by time.
"Choose now," It told him-- his heart, mind and spirit, all at once-- “Make your choice, believe in it. Don’t look back.”
