Summary
"I’m only two minutes late!” Izuku protested. Had he missed the start of an important test? None of the national, standardized tests were supposed to happen this month and even being two minutes late to one of those wouldn’t elicit this sort of reaction. They were discussing their career interest forms today, but that was it. Nothing time-critical was supposed to be happening.
“Midoriya, you were reported missing a week ago. No one has seen you for eight days. The police have been combing the city for you.”
"I’m sorry. What?”
Midoriya Izuku went missing for a week and turned up in a back alleyway with skills he's never even heard of and no memory of how he came by them. He resigns himself to never learning the truth of what happened to him, but he shouldn't waste this chance should he? He could become a hero with reflexes like these.

Summary
I've recently been unexpectedly promoted to lead a department in my organisation, wrote the anonymous emailer.
As there was no one working here when I arrived, my manager, who is head of the organisation, had promised me the choice of my own assistants. However, without warning, he simply presented me with an additional assistant. This new assistant’s first act on his first day was to let a dog into the office. It took several hours to catch and clean up after this dog and it has only been downhill from there. I admit I'm not entirely sure what to do with this assistant now I'm stuck with him. I'm hoping you have some advice?
Kind regards,
New ManagerAbigail Bailey runs a successful management advice blog. One frequent contributor is from a workplace with some... issues.

I wish the formatting was nicer to read on mobile, but the story's worth it. Definitely requires familiarity with Magnus Archives. -

Summary
From a tumblr writing prompt "You have one super power: The ability to know without fail what the truth is to any asked question. You planned to help the world as a super hero. It took you six hours for the government to declare you public enemy number one and the most deadly super villain alive."
The Soothsayer just wanted to help.

The Gift of Perfect Knowledge by BookmarkBookworm
-
Loved the first few chapters for the interesting super power concept alone, but the world building (which is usually something I love in fanfics) gets a bit too dense and keeping track of new characters gets difficult in later chapters. I dropped off around Ch10, will probably take another swing at it when it's finished. -

Summary
“How do you know my name?” Hermione demanded.
Harry manfully resisted the urge to roll his eyes. “The wrackspurts told me,” he said instead, which satisfied his innate need for sarcasm quite nicely.
Harry takes the train out of that white void, expecting to meet Death, and instead ends up on the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of his second year. Also he’s Luna Lovegood now.

Summary
James Kirk was the rudest student Professor Heleine ever taught. He stomped out of the middle of the professor's lecture like he wasn't a mere cadet. Well, the professor was done putting up with him. If he couldn't sit through an expert lecture, then he should give the lecture about Tarsus. That would teach him some respect.

I'm not a big Star Trek fan and don't know anything about the canon of what happened on Tarsus, but the writing in this story is *excellent*. The kind of fic where the author could easily file off the serial numbers and have a top rated original work.
