Summary
Harry Potter always thought that life following the war would be worth living. However, six months after the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry finds himself overwhelmed with violent grief and an unwanted PTSD diagnosis. Exhausted, Harry seeks to be the teenager that he should have been, attending Hogwarts parties, meeting new friends, and discovering his sexuality.
When Ministry documents leak the possibility of a hidden Horcrux in an alternate reality, Harry realizes that he never will find peace. Paranoia brings back dangerous old habits, and Harry is determined to end any chance of Voldemort's return if it's the last thing he does.
In a freak accident, Harry finds himself on Earth's Echo, a seemingly perfect reality that has never been touched by Voldemort. The only problem: Draco Malfoy is unapologetically in love with him. It's a problem that Harry is willing to overlook if it means he never has to go back to the miserable life he was living — until he realizes that there's much more to this so-called perfect reality than it seems, and it sends Harry deeper into the universe than he ever wanted to be.

When Realities Collide by LowlyWriter
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
20 Aug 2023
Summary
(Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)
Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”
“Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”
“Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”
“I-I’m what?! W-wait!”
tl;dr
Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

Summary
Over twenty years after Chancellor Palpatine's failed takeover of the Galactic Republic, Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker-Naberrie is asked to join a diplomatic mission to Mandalore to help negotiate a trade agreement with the new Mand'alor. While he is assumed to join as an observer and mediator in these talks, his real mission is to investigate rumors that the Mand'alor's child is powerful in the Force and offer a future for the child within the Jedi Order. The already difficult task compounds when he keeps failing to gain an audience with the mysterious Mand'alor, but distraction comes in the form of a strange, faceless Mandalorian palace guard he keeps encountering at night, someone he keeps gravitating towards despite himself.

A New Year's Night by sanerontheinside
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
19 Mar 2023
Summary
The historically utilitarian structures of the Coruscanti Mid-Levels were built in a difficult period of Coruscant's history. Limited funding, limited materials, and limited time were all marshaled together into a staggering display of conformity, both in urban planning and architectural design.
Thus it is entirely possible for someone to end up in the wrong district, give the right address, and end up almost at home. Certainly, the place may look very familiar.
Qui-Gon Jinn, in particular, has a run of very bad luck one New Year's Eve. Or maybe very good luck. Depends on how you want to look at it.

Pieces of Me, Scattered Between Worlds by CrzA
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
15 Jul 2020
Summary
“You will soon realise…” The villain breathes, the bandages beginning to stain black along the line the stitches seem to follow. “You have to accept your place in this world and fulfil the role you are meant to. The gods have forsaken this world, and all that’s left is to watch it burn.”
As Izuku and his closest friends are taking care of the last details for the opening of their new hero agency, everything takes a turn for the worst when a group of villains attacks with every intention of showing Izuku and the world he protects that the Symbol of Peace died with All Might, and he is not the hero that everyone idolises at all.

Young Avengers: MCU Anthology by Nyxelestia
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Young Avengers
26 May 2019
Summary
Anthology containing:
Children's Crusade
In the aftermath of SHIELD's collapse, teenage vigilantes Kate Bishop and Peter Parker do what they can to clean up New York - but they end up doing too good a job when they end up on the Avengers' radar. JARVIS' "son", android Jonas Vision, was made to help Iron Man, but is getting stifled by the team's overprotection. Meanwhile, HYDRA has in its clutches half a dozen kids with bad family histories or just bad luck, and HYDRA has been 'refining' them. They are HYDRA's hope for the future, and they all want nothing to do with HYDRA.
Really, what did anyone expect would happen with superpowered teenagers?
(Or: The Young Avengers, MCU-style.)
Deleted Scene
Deleted scene from my fanfic Children's Crusade. Tony doesn't understand why everyone seems okay with a child soldier, especially the two former child soldiers themselves.
All My Friends Are Heathens (Take It Slow)
AKA Super Supper
The Young Avengers don't know what their future holds for them - but that's okay. They have their families, and they have each other. Together, they can face down anything the world tries to throw at them - just not on an empty stomach.
This is half "sequel" to Children's Crusade, half "extremely extended epilogue".
Deleted Scene 2: Alternate Reality
Another deleted scene - though also more like a "deleted timeline/reality". In the AU where Kate Bishop is renown as Hawkeye II, as is her friendship with Gwen Stacy, Harry Osborn asks for Peter Parker's help to get him in touch with Kate...so she can get Harry in touch with Spider-Man.
Deleted Scene 3: Beyond the Dark
"They're using your daughter."
Scott stopped.
"Even after I did my absolute best to pull everything away from SHIELD, Howard Stark never let it go," Pym continued. "Luckily, he never got far...but he still got somewhere."
Scott continued to stand where he was, staring at the door. Pym continued to talk.

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams." W.B. Yeats.What Dreams May Come

“To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
