Summary
Malfoy’s chin raised ever so slightly. “Don’t try slowing me down just because you can’t keep up.”
Harry blinked. “I can keep up.”
Coach’s whistle sounded, and the pairs flew back to their starting points. As they got into position, Malfoy smirked at him. “Then prove it.”
And let it never be said that Harry Potter ever met a challenge that he didn’t face head on.
*
Hogwarts’ Harry Potter and Beauxbatons’ Draco Malfoy meet at seventeen when they both get drafted to Team England for the 1997 Quidditch World Cup. From then on, they find themselves constantly circling each other.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Shotgun Wedding: sometimes a first date requires paperwork by charlottemadison
Fandoms: Good Omens (TV), Good Omens - All Media Types, Good Omens - Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
30 Dec 2020
Summary
The important thing, Crowley tells himself -- the most important thing -- is Adam, his brilliant, creative, empathetic nephew. Being fourteen's hard enough on its own, the kid didn't ask to deal with the weight of the world on top of it.
And if taking care of Adam means Crowley has to tough it out at a job he can’t stand, so be it.
And if Crowley's job means that Adam’s charming English teacher is NOT a romantic possibility, well, that's just how things go.
But the occasional drink with Aziraphale proves hard to resist. They frequent the same pub, so who can object to them saying hello? Briefly sharing a table? Perhaps a little conversation? The painful knowledge that it can’t be anything more -- not without somebody getting fired or sued or both -- well, that can't be helped.
Until Crowley stumbles onto a terribly reckless idea...

Peaks and Valleys Adjacent Anthology by clefairytea
Fandoms: Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series), Pocket Monsters: Sun & Moon | Pokemon Sun & Moon Versions, Pocket Monsters | Pokemon - All Media Types, Pocket Monsters: Sword & Shield | Pokemon Sword & Shield Versions
21 Dec 2019
Summary
Might not be 4000% consistent with each other, but generally set in the same world! Playing fast and loose with my own fanon of an already kind of vague and inconsistent canon. It's freeform jazz, baby.
Anthology containing:
Peaks and Valleys
Blue is Kanto Champion for thirty-nine minutes.
That’s it. Technically, he’s part of the Hall of Fame, technically he’s an accepted Champion. Technically, the title was his once, so it will always be his. Technically, he can’t lose it. He just loses being the present Champion.
He also, briefly, held the Kanto record for youngest ever Pokemon League champion. That was until Red, three months younger, caught up to him.
Really, Blue hadn’t even been surprised.
--
Blue loses the Championship, Red disappears up a mountain, and everything that happens afterwards.Baby It's Cold Outside (because we're on an uninhabitable mountain)
‘Uh, look, I don’t want to be the downer here, but are you sure he’ll even appreciate this?’
Red’s Mom stared at Blue, the kind of million-yard gaze both her and her son were such experts in.
‘It’s Winterstar,’ she said simply, tone completely calm, but her grip tightened on the gift in her hands, crinkling the paper. She glanced down, smoothed down the wrapping, and then thrust it into Blue’s hands.
‘I don’t think my son would enjoy being alone on Winterstar,’ she said, simply, ‘Even he doesn’t like his solitude that much.’
Blue sighed, running a hand through his hair. He didn’t come back from Kalos for winter break for this. Running around delivering Red his care packages wasn’t exactly his idea of a good time.
-
Blue visits Red over the holidays.Daisy's Great Idea
‘I swear, I will only be gone for two hours.’
Daisy stares at her little brother, and can see he's not convinced. He’s doing what he thinks is his most winning smile - the one he used to practice in the mirror as a kid - and that means he’s nervous. She isn’t sure if Red is too, but she never knows what's going through his head.
‘Just. Isn’t M around to babysit?' Blue asks, rubbing a hand through his hair, ‘This is more her scene.’
Daisy rolls her eyes, bouncing her daughter in her arms.
‘Masami has been helping me practice! She wants to see me up there. Besides, she always babysits,’ she says. She’s sure that Blue just thinks Red’s mother is some kind of Ultra-Mom with no interests outside of babying people. From his perspective, that probably seems true, but only because he requires so much babying.
--
Blue babysits his niece.Regret
Blue wasn’t often awake before Red. Red was usually out of bed at 5am sharp, off to do his morning training regime. He would run himself and his Pokémon ragged for two hours exactly before returning to shower, drink a protein shake, set up a percolator of coffee, and wait for Blue to stagger out of bed, whining for caffeine. There were rare exceptions, but that was usually the routine.
This was one exception.
Blue woke up at 4:12am with something horrible travelling from his gut to the back of his mouth, a headache that felt like a steel bar being wrapped around his skull, and a throat so dry he was sure he hadn’t seen a fluid in twenty years.
Stumbling out of bed, he rushed to the ensuite, dropping to his knees and emptying what felt like the entire contents of his body into the toilet.

Blue is sick, Red is dealing with it.Red's Halfway House for Troubled Trainers
‘Are you sure you’ll be okay by yourself for a few weeks?’
It’s the fifteenth time Blue has asked, and it’s starting to get on Red’s nerves. Something must show on his face, because Blue waves a hand, sighing.
‘It’s not that. I know you can take care of yourself,’ he shrugs, and then rests a hand gently on the cast on Red’s leg, ‘It’s this.’
Red glances down, frowning. His frown deepens at the signatures scrawled across the plaster – he’d initially tried to stop people from doing it, didn’t like the messiness, but a couple of the Battle Tree regulars did it anyway. As always, people really didn’t get ‘no’. Eventually, he gave in.
Even though Blue signed last, he managed to take up the most space.
‘I can cancel,’ Blue offers, again, but his heart is not in it. He’s been looking forward to this. They’ve been looking forward to this.
The plan had been Kalos, for four weeks. Blue had gotten an invitation to take part in a research tour, an expedition of the mountains. Naturally, Red had been immediately invited, with the plan to extend the expedition to a more personal tour of the country afterwards.
Then, Red broke his leg.

Blue goes away for a few weeks.Under Emergency Measures
It was no good – the wall of snow outside the door had jammed it closed. Not even Machamp could force his way through – at least, not without threatening to bring Masami’s entire house down around them. Blue leaned looked about at the windows, contemplating the upper floor. A kid could maybe wiggle out of the window in Red’s old room, but that was about it. Even then, the storm outside would make it dangerous.
Next to him, Red grabbed Charizard’s Pokéball from his best.
“Good idea,” Blue said, getting ready to send Arcanine out himself.
“Oh no you don’t!”
Masami appeared between them, seizing her son and Blue by the arm. Although they now both towered over her, her grip was just as firm as it had been when they were six years old.
--
Red and Blue are snowed in.Unfortunately, so are their parents.
Heading North
Sinnoh was ridiculously cold. Blue knew he’d just gotten used to the tropical Alolan climate, but he honestly did not know how people lived up here!
Red, naturally, was in his element. The cold suited him, as did how sparsely populated and trecherous must of Sinnoh was. He looked to be itching to get up Mt Coronet and start their research expedition already.
Cynthia must have spotted him looking longingly at the horizon because she laughed.
“Oh, yes, we’ll be heading up there soon,” she said, and then grimaced, “but there are materials I need to get from someone at Eterna University first.”

“Lillie’s coming back!”
Hau practically couldn’t keep both feet on the floor. The second he’d torn open the letter he’d taken one look at it and tossed it into the air, whooping and swinging Moon around by her arm.
Moon knew she should be just as happy. In fact, she’d be happier. Yet for some reason all that happened was a cold pit of dread opened in her stomach, everything else falling through.
Seeing Lillie was going to be hard, after all this time, but that wasn’t what made her feel so cold.
The problem was who Lillie would bring with her.
--
Lillie is coming back to Alola. Moon isn't sure how to feel about it.His name is Red and he watches from the stands
When Blue accepted to an offer from former Champion Leon to come to Galar to do some exhibition matches for the new Battle Tower, he had just been sort of imagining a smaller Unova. He didn’t relaly know much about Galar – it was fairly small, after all, and didn’t really have a particularly close relationship to either Kanto or Alola. Mostly, all that came to mind when somebody said ‘Galar’ to him was fish and chips, wizard novels, and Dynamax battles. It was only the latter, really, either he or Red were particularly interested in.
It turned out there was a lot more to see in Galar than he’d anticipated.

Anthology containing:
Sunshower
An early morning jog gone awry. (Rewritten 19/6/2018)
Nothing But Blue Skies
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say Midoriya Izuku was having a very strange morning.
It was a few minutes after 9 am and he went out for his morning jog, got rained on, came back, hung out with Todoroki and Kirishima in the laundrette (and they were all standing around in their underwear for some reason) and Mineta congratulated him for supposedly being a “stud.”
Oh, and he and Todoroki totally banged outside the U.A. dorms, hence the grass stains which seemed to be causing his classmates' unusual behaviour, and it looked like they were about to do it again.
Already. Maybe the sex maniac in Class 1-A wasn't Mineta after all. Todoroki really was a dark horse.
(Sequel to Sunshower. Multi-perspective story focusing on the relations of Class 1-A alongside the new development of Midoriya and Todoroki's relationship.)
Monoma Neito's Guide to Optimum Mental Health
Monoma Neito was hopelessly clueless on the subject of love; although therapy is progressing well (despite his therapist being mysteriously AWOL every other week) he direly needs help, even if the person he's chosen to reach out to is just as hopeless as he is: his (very reluctant) best friend, Shinsou Hitoshi.
(On temporary hiatus as this fic is being extended to something longer than originally planned, and need a bit more time to write out future chapters)
Perseids
Sequel to Nothing But Blue Skies. Submission for TodoDeku Week 2018.
Day 7, July 15th (Midoriya Izuku's birthday).

A Poor Man's Hero by Capucine
Fandoms: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, DCU, Young Justice (Cartoon)
26 Sep 2017
Summary
What if Batman became Batman without all the gobs of cash? What if he was a guy who started out impoverished, as a child, and saw his parents die due to violence, and vowed to protect other people from such things happening to them?
This Bruce Wayne isn't a rich businessman or famous. He owns a martial arts dojo, and that barely keeps his nose above water. And then he takes in foster kids on top of that.
But this Batman is just as relentless in his pursuit of justice as his rich counterpart. Will he be able to successfully pull it off as part of society and not above it? Will his lack of funds prove disastrous, or his obviously less sophisticated background make him more of a target for the GCPD?
And what about the Robins, the Batgirls, and so on?
These are drabbles about their lives, all interconnected, all with varying levels of humor and angst and fluff.

Summary
If you’re sending yourself out to the edge of civilization, people expect it to be done for fame and glory – but then, Julian Bashir has never been what’s expected of him. He’s quite happy to agree with the reasons other people provide, because he isn’t sharing the private whys and wherefores when people are more than happy to fill in the gaps themselves. There are other, better things to worry about, work to be done and friends to be made – possibly even a lover, if he’s lucky…
...all while fighting to maintain his worth, and remain exactly who he’s always been.
