Summary
Three dark mage-kings known as the Sea Lords, the Orphaner and his two sons, hold the world in an iron grip. The reincarnation of an ancient hero known as the Sufferer leads a rebellion against their power. For all the blood and magic spilled, it seems the world will be at war forever.
Rebel spymaster Sollux Captor is kidnapped by one of the Sea Lords to break a puzzling code. He's sure his fate is interrogation and death, or worse. But the lines between friend and foe are less clear than they seemed, and his captivity may have placed him in the perfect position to turn the tide.
[inspired by the world of the 'Black Company' series by Glen Cook; you don't need to be familiar with it to understand this story.]

In many ways, Kentarou supposes he must have been an easy choice for a sacrifice. After a wildfire ravaged through the fields that surrounded his small village, destroying crops and even outlying homes, it became the consensus that the gods must have been outraged with them.

Summary
The statue winks. You flinch, and jerk back, wondering if that actually happened or if you just imagined it, and right as you're about to conclude that your mind was playing tricks on you, the statue smiles at you.
"Holy shit," you gasp out. Your breath makes clouds in the air as the statue steps off the dais and flips its jacket back onto its shoulder, and ice shouldn't be able to move like that, but you don't particularly mind, because he's beautiful.
"You're cute," the statue says, leaning towards you to study your face just like you examined him earlier, and you flush. "What are you doing in the middle of the lake?"
"Running from my fiancé," you say.
Running from a relationship that has spun out of control like a car on the ice, Yoongi walks out onto the frozen Lake Michigan and stumbles into the domain of a fair prince who is colder than ice but smiles like the sun returning in springtime. When they touch, it's Yoongi who melts.

Summary
Allura blinks. She's suddenly outside, the pale moon shining down on her and the old house behind her. There's a man gripping her hand. Tall and shrouded in a peculiar jacket. His hood shadows his face, but she makes out a scar across his nose and a patch of white hair dangling from the front of his head. She searches his face and sees-
Black eyes.
She wrenches her hand away from his grip and unsheathes her bayard. "Who the hell are you? Why did you save me from your own kind? Demon?" (Why are you hurting?)
The man blinks, the black eyes disappearing and revealing a set of dark brown irises. He pulls back his hood and mask then raises his hands in a placating gesture.
"I'm not a demon. Not like them," he says after seemingly gathering his breath. "I'm your vassal."
or the VLD/SPN crossover no one asked for.

Really cool! Same kind of genre of fic as 'Elysium Risen' by Haurvatat. Early encounters with Aizawa and Shinsou are always a plus...

Summary
Demons have no internal sense of identity.
Crowley is, in many ways, only "Crowley" as long as those around him--and he himself--perceive him that way. He maintains his tenuous grip on his identity through his actions, his speech, his appearance.
But in Rome, he meets someone who can tear all that apart. And Aziraphale must find a way to put him back together.
--
Cautiously, Aziraphale stuck his head through the door. It appeared to be empty, wooden floor and plaster shredded as if some wild animal had been locked inside. There was blood here and there, and it certainly wasn’t human.Tucked in the corner where the clay roof tiles nearly sloped to the floor, lay a bed, just a pallet stuffed with straw. A dark figure lay upon it, burrowed into so many blankets he almost couldn’t see the shape tremble.
“Crowley?” He could sense the demonic energy, though not as powerful as usual. As if it were being hidden. “Are you...quite alright?”

Summary
“Well?” Naenia’s shadowy form had completely engulfed him, though Noé hadn’t noticed. “What will it be? Will you let me grant your wish?”
Noé took a deep breath.
“Please…”
A grin spread across her face.
“Please help me get him back.” Noé pleaded.
Naenia laughed, her claws digging into his skin painfully. The prey had been successfully captured. “Then give me your name!”
Naenia’s lips met Noé’s, stealing his first kiss and his name.
When Noé doesn't grab Vanitas's hand — when he loses Vanitas — Noé will do anything to get him back.
Even give up his True Name and become a curse bearer.

Summary
“I’m pretty sure they’re throwing a party,” Aizawa drawled.
Through the window, Hawks watched Aoyama affix flashy spheres of light magic to the tops of tall bunting-covered wooden poles. Midoriya and Shoji were carrying armfuls of wood, depositing them next to the growing bonfire on the flat stone fireplace. Sato, Ojiro, Ashido, and Sero were all struggling to set up long wooden feast tables. Yaoyorozu had a steadily growing pile of festival crackers and party hats sitting on the table next to her.
“You don’t say.”
——— ——— ———
Or: It’s tradition to throw a party when a new acolyte enters the Yuuei forest. Hawks has been yoinked from the HPSC, and it’s only natural to follow tradition.Series
