Summary: "I have included a photo of your father, taken in September of 1988. I suspect it is unlike any you have ever seen of him. There are more photographs that I have brought with me, as well as stories about the man your father was, both the grand and the terrible. My only price for sharing this information is the pleasure of your company. I would treasure a chance to see how alike your father you are and how different as well. From the swiftness of your rise and the heights of your ambition, I suspect I will find the spark that this world has lacked since January of 1989."

A letter arrives for Giorno Giovanna from one of his father's old friends, and a request to meet. He accepts both.

Title: truth and ideals (and the fallen in love).

Author: michellejjones

Fandom: Pokemon Black and White

Rating: PG

Pairing: N/Touko

Warnings: Pokemon death, mild violence

Other notes: outside PoV, rivals to lovers, worldbuilding

Length: 9k

Summary: 

The patience behind her gaze throws him off; The silent wisdom throws him off even more. Her sentence is short, and simple, but she packs so much power and love and intelligence behind it, that N stops moving for a second, stops moving just long enough for Snivy to laugh haughtily before stalking back to his trainer.

"Just because I raise Pokemon differently than you," Touko says slowly, eye contact never wavering, "Does not mean I love them any less."

N's jaw drops, processing her words and then processing her voice: It's pretty.

She bows her head at him, ever-respectful, and goes back to being silent. After a brief pause, the argument between he and Cheren -with the occasional snide comment from Snivy- resumes. When the confrontation is over, it's like Touko has never even spoken, and N almost forgets her words.

Almost, but not quite.

Title: waterlogged (red blue, green)

Author: lein

Fandom: My Hero Academia

Rating: PG-13

Pairing: Midoriya/Todoroki

Warnings: mild angst

Other notes: soul mates, au, episode-based, worldbuilding

Length: 9k

Summary:  Izuku has never been one to curse but the only way to describe himself as his mother hugs him goodbye that morning, is royally fucked.

He’s really, truly glad no one in their class has a mind-reading quirk because from the minute his feet touched warm sand, his mind has been screaming in tune to the same famous classical overtures Tenya listens to when they study together. Occasionally, the music pauses just long enough for his brain to point out observations about Shouto that make Izuku want to stick his head under the waves and just breathe in.
