Summary
Trapped in a limbo state between life and death, the Ferryman takes on the task of bringing the souls of the dead to their final destination, motivated more by fear of the unknown than self-sacrifice. When his ship is destroyed by a beast from the depthless seas, he is rescued by an archangel, Gabriel, who mans one of the many lighthouses that keep darkness at bay, powered by a spark of the Father's flame.
The debt of a life saved is not so easily repaid, but the Ferryman is determined to do so, despite Gabriel's strange avoidance and increasingly secretive behaviour. As creatures in steel skin creep from the mists at night, their desperation for blood palpable, the Ferryman determines to follow Gabriel to the ends of the earth, no matter how terrible of an end the archangel carves for himself.

Summary
Childe is a bad person, most would say. As a Fatui Harbinger, the label is not a rarity.
But what would happen when he is suddenly stripped of everything that makes him feared? When he is put in a place where he cannot act out of line, where he is just another bland prisoner under another's rule?
And what does he do about the two newest additions to his list of people he loathes? What does he do, as an ordinary human?
Or, a story where Childe never finds a way to escape the Fortress of Meropide at the time of the canon story. Instead, he bides his time, exploring the living caverns of the violent place, figuring out who may be right…and who is immensely wrong. Is friend foe? Is enemy justified? And will grudges, held under the weight of guilt, wash away under a torrent of unending rain?
(This story follows an ooc Wriothesley, Neuvillette suffering, and the undertones but not established relationship of Zhongchi. Please heed the tags, this fic is NOT sweet.)

Summary
Everyone at Rosberg Ventures knows the real order of things: Nico Rosberg may have the CEO title, but it’s Lewis Hamilton, his endlessly competent, perpetually exasperated secretary, who actually keeps him alive. Lunch, water, meetings that don’t explode? That’s Lewis. They call him the Codebreaker, because he’s the only one who can crack Nico’s impossible rhythm (and the one who can stand his whining).
The office gossip never stops. Naomi has betting spreadsheets. Jenson calls it exactly what it is. Simon pretends not to care (he does). And through it all, Nico obeys Lewis’ reminders like it's law, even when Lewis twists the knife with occasional merciless teasing.
Behind closed doors? Different story. (Let’s just say the noiseproof walls were the best investment of this company.)
From water bottles to boardrooms, Slack threads to HR memos, the chaos only builds until Nico blows everything wide open in the most ridiculous way possible.
A romcom of gossiping coworkers, strict mealtimes, soundproofed offices, and HR memos, where love has been hiding in the finest prints of the terms and conditions all along.

Summary
In all fairness, Izuku really didn't think his life could get worse.
And then he's on the run, trying his damndest to make the best out it. Pretty hard to do when there's no way out and he's starting from scratch with some of the best heroes, including his uncle, on his tail. The sudden discovery of a quirk definitely isn't helping, but it's not like he can do anything else but keep surviving and hope for the best.
Right?
(In which Izuku can't die, is forced into living, and makes it everyone's problem. His loved ones disagree with calling it a 'problem', but that's their business.)
((Featuring: Quirkless Society, Vigilante Izuku and shenanigans, Hitoshi getting a goddamn break, plans to overturn hero society, and a group of tired heroes just trying to help a bunch of very traumatized and very capable kids.))
