Summary
Will blinks, slow. He glances to either side of himself, past exposed brick and reclaimed wooden floors, past steel fittings holding up tables marked ‘no laptops’ with carefully calligraphed signs and the wiry bulbs burning dim in light fixtures above. He looks at the young man behind him, who doesn’t notice past his phone and his earbuds, and finally Will turns back to the barista.
Baristo?
Coffee-monger?
Fuck it.
“Just coffee,” Will repeats again, slower.
A delightful AU about a rare book dealer, an owner of a high-end coffee shop, and murder. This does involve Hannibal Lecter, after all.

Summary
First problem: He doesn’t know how he got here. Chilton’s car, likely, but he doesn’t have keys in his pocket, and there’s no sign of any vehicle at all.
Second problem: He also doesn’t know the extent of the carnage between here and the BSHCI, or even, with any real certainty (a lie, that’s a lie, isn’t he finished lying to himself?), that he caused it, which means he has no idea how quickly or easily law enforcement will find him.
Together, those problems leave him with very little to formulate an escape plan.
What he does have, though, is a gun and access to Hannibal Lecter’s house.
--
There’s something wrong with Will Graham. Missing time, strange injuries he can’t explain, and six dead BSHCI employees. But that’s fine; he’s on Hannibal Lecter’s doorstep with a gun. The answers can’t be far off.
Sequel to all of history [deleted with one stroke], but can be read stand-alone.

Summary
Now that Sina-native Erwin has died, a stressed Commander Hange and grief-stricken Captain Levi struggle to keep ahold of the newly-popular Survey Corps among a tidal wave of citizens in full support and a sea of political enemies within the MP and Royal Palace. Armin grapples with what it means to be useful, and Eren tries to keep himself afloat of the anger that has dogged his every step since Wall Maria first fell. Mikasa doesn't want to be left behind, but is struggling to catch up.
Meanwhile, across the ocean, a very-much-alive Erwin awakens in an unfamiliar land and must convince the Marleyan brass that he has lost his memories and is loyal to them, while also attempting to inform those on Paradis that he is alive and trying to help.

Summary
“An awakened Ackerman is loyal to and only to their liege. The royal family has curated their DNA very carefully, structuring it in a way that makes it physically impossible for them to disobey orders once they find a master to serve. Imagine that lever of force and loyalty in the Survey Corps, sir.”
Shadis curls his lips and sits down as well, looking absorbed in his own thoughts. Erwin watches him, chest rising and falling slowly as he waits for the Commander to process the new information.
“They created something they couldn’t control,” Shadis reasons quietly. “They created monsters.”
“Assets,” Erwin corrects him. “If one knows how to use them.”
“And you think you are capable of using one?”
Erwin tilts his head to the side. “I think, given the right circumstances, I can. Wouldn’t you rather join the Survey Corps and finally get the Citizenship, rather than spend your entire life in the Underground?”
------
The Ackermans have been hunted down for decades and are known to be extinct. When rumour has it that there might be one left in the Underground, the Survey Corps intend to find him before the Military Police does.

And then, for the first time, she was given a choice.
(or: Abigail goes back in time, and this time she'll make things go her way, no matter the cost)

Summary
“So what do you think of taking our cute new coworker out for dinner sometime?” Hizashi asks, steamrolling into the kitchen on what had been a slow Thursday morning. Thoroughly disrupting whatever plans Shouta had for a nice peaceful breakfast with his husband before dealing with the hellspawn that is Class 1A.
It’s early Shouta notes, but both hearing aids are in, his glasses are on and there’s a slightly concerning yet thrilling fire burning behind those green eyes.
He’s doomed. He doesn’t fully understand why yet but he’s doomed, he just knows it.

Summary
All Might had the same meeting with Deku 10 years previous, just shortly after his battle with All for One. All Might was much more bitter, much harsher on a kid who was just looking for a way to survive. The injury was too fresh and he wasn’t focused on a successor back then. Izuku was told in no uncertain terms that he would never be a hero. But that doesn’t mean that he’ll stop being heroic. All Might was right, you can still help people without being a hero.
In fact, there are many, many ways to do it.
Izuku has found just about all of them.
–
“Subconsciously, I think it was a fuck you to All Might or the universe. It was either that or throw myself off the nearest roof. So my brain opted for self preservation.” The analyst chuckles wryly, “even if that just meant keeping myself and others alive out of sheer spite.”
Deku’s shoulders drop in a halting shrug, “Whatever worked, I suppose.”
“You’ve saved a lot of people,” Shouta breathes and Hizashi's eyes burn as Deku looks away, “Saved lives. Helped these kids, this community-“
“But I’m no hero,” his gnarled fingers splay wide, shaking in almost mocking jazz hands. Voice bitter but resigned, practiced.
It was heartbreaking.

Summary
IN PROGRESS AGAIN AS OF 04/04/26
--Levi is panting slightly. His eyes are narrowed, his forehead creased in what anyone else would think was bloodlust. He shoves Erwin’s shoulders down, eyes flicking wildly across his face as he catches his breath, the fight beginning to drain from him with each heaving gasp for air. In the late afternoon sunlight, Erwin can see the dilation in his pupils clearly, sees the flush that’s risen up Levi’s neck to his cheeks. Erwin only half notices the way his own hands have reached up to push Levi away, one gripping the back of his thigh, the other struggling to wrap around his wrist where Levi’s grip firmly pins him to the ground.
Ruthless. Dangerous. Violent. Terrifying.
No, Erwin thinks, intimately aware of how wrecked he must look with his jacket and cloak askew, his eyes widened and his hair windswept. He must look ridiculous. His face burns. He feels raw, bare, as if Levi has torn away a strip of his authority to expose him for what he really is underneath.
He’s not violent. Not with me.

Summary
“...I just don’t know where the fuck else to go,” Levi mumbles, finally, his hoarse voice barely louder than a whisper.
About a week after the 23rd Exterior Scouting Mission, Erwin finds an unexpected guest waiting outside his office late at night—a guest that looks like he would be ready to commit murder if he weren’t so exhausted.
A fic set post-ACWNR featuring insomnia, the struggle to forgive oneself, expeditions beyond the walls, corrupt noblemen, and a few other things.

Summary
There was another student here.
Tom recognized him vaguely—while transfer students were not necessarily uncommon due to the war, they were rare enough to at least make an impression. This particular transfer student was in his year, sorted into Ravenclaw after an impressively long hat stall. He looked like he might be descended from the Potter line, but he did not share the surname so his lineage was of no particular interest to Tom. Nothing about him was of particular interest to Tom, in fact, and yet here he stood, holding the book that Tom had come here to find.
It would be a good time to turn away. The Restricted Section was restricted for a reason—only books documenting extremely dangerous or extremely advanced magic were stored here.
Tom’s feet, however, suddenly felt as if they were made of lead. It wasn’t magic keeping him tied down, but something far more mysterious like curiosity or even fate. In any case, the delay was all it took for the Ravenclaw to lift his chin and meet Tom’s eyes.
This Ravenclaw, Tom realized, had eyes as blindingly green as the Killing Curse.

Marvolo Gaunt seems to have his eye on Harry. The trouble is, Harry has no idea why.
