There was a red thread that connected each and every one of them. It could bend, twist, and tangle, but it would never break. Though considering who her classmates were, she was getting pretty close to cutting it herself. "If you get your ass kicked one more time, I'm not healing you." Oc/?

The last thing I remember is being trapped in the locker; now I'm in some kind of filthy, abandoned research facility, one that's clearly never heard of OSHA or the Geneva Convention. How did I get down here? Am I alone? Most importantly… how do I get out? Maybe I should make something… Tinker!Taylor, sane!GLaDOS

The only reason Midoriya got to talking with Ashido was because his bandages needed reapplying. Still, this small hand of fate was all that was needed to spark a friendship and a far closer bond between the two classmates. I honestly have no idea what their ship name is, so I'ma call it MinaDeku

Shirou never expected to be summoned to another world, but now all he wants to do is finish save it so that he could return home to his family. But it order to return home, he will first have to survive. First rule of surviving as a summoned hero, don't trust ANYONE. (Retiring this story)

We take the tale up in early February of 2011, when Sophia incites a group of boys to chase Taylor down and duct-tape her to a telephone pole. It all goes horribly wrong from the moment that they catch her. Things will never be the same again, for Taylor Hebert or for Brockton Bay.

They say a true friend is someone you can rely on when everything seems hopeless, and for Shino, that person was Kazuto Kirigaya, her best - and only - friend. But Shino didn't want to rely on Kazuto as much as she did, so when beta testing opened for a new game called Sword Art Online, she submitted an application...

Raven's communicator is broken during a fight, so she calls Changeling for backup another way. What happens when something gets added-or discovered- in translation? BB/Rae, mild Rob/Star, eventual Cy/? (no OC). Rated M because it deserves it.

Strength. Kazuto has it. Asuna has it. The woman I love has it. So, what is it? ...I'm, uh, asking for some friends. Totally. Describe them? ...Uh, one's about this tall, carries a big sniper rifle. The other's really, really good with a sword. Know them?

Mysteries abound in Academy City, and once again Mikoto finds herself at the center of it all. This time though, she's determined not to simply stand by and let those she cares about suffer the consequences. Becoming strong enough to protect what is most important to her comes with its own set of complications though, and as usual, Mikoto hasn't really thought everything through.

Her path is paved with trials and enemies, but maybe, just maybe, there's more to it than meets the eye. After all, there might be some that want her to succeed. OC story, a little AU.

Secrets are my trade. But there are so many things here I don't understand, some of them mundane, some of them vital to our survival, some of them define who I am, yet all of them frighten me. What I don't know scares me, and there is very little here that I know. I think it's time I fix that.

Harry is a prisoner, and Bellatrix has fallen from grace. The accidental activation of Bella's treasured heirloom results in another chance for Harry. It also gives him the opportunity to make the acquaintance of the young and enigmatic Bellatrix Black as they change the course of history.

When Louise Valliere performed her summons for her familiar, she certainly didn't expect for it to be a human! Strangely enough, the boy she summoned, Shirou Emiya, didn't expect to get summoned so soon. He hadn't even died yet!

So maybe everything didn't work out perfectly for Harry. Still, most of his friends survived, he'd gotten married, and was about to become a father. If only he'd have stayed away from the Veil, he wouldn't have had to go back and do everything AGAIN.

COMPLETE. Two years after defeating Voldemort, Harry falls into an alternate dimension with his godfather. Together, they embark on a new life filled with drunken debauchery, thievery, and generally antagonizing all their old family, friends, and enemies.
