    Summary

    "I think I want to take over Britain." Harry said, smiling into the chilled breeze as the sun set. "How about it?" He glanced over at Tom, still sitting by his side.

    "We could." Tom replied, "But it would be hard."

    "Not if we worked together." Harry said, "Grindelwald was alone. You were alone before. This time, we'll be together." Tom examined him closely, his hazel eyes gazing into Harry's green for a long searching moment.

    "Alright." Tom said finally, a smile gracing his face. "Let's do it."

    Crossroads offers Harry and Tom another chance at life, sending them back to 1988 where they both wake up as 8 years olds. Chaos ensues as they try their best to navigate their second chance.

    4/5 ⭐️.

    i love fics where they both grow up in the orphanage. this reminded me of holly and yew by lovelylotus in the best way :)

    this fic is lowk so indulgent i LOVE IT. like, voldy being so kind in the first chapter is crazy ooc, but who cares bro. i feel like his character development was sped up just so that this fic could be easier to read and write lol. and the changing of some stuff like physical transfiguration being permanent.

    the author writes quidditch so well. also harry becoming quidditch captain as a firstie is so… harry. thats exactly what he would do lol.

    also what is it with everyone being dumb af and thinking tom is the mastermind behind all of this 🙏🙏🙏

    Summary

    Loud footsteps fall in sync to his rapidly beating heart. Unable to look away, Stiles sees Scott fly out of the house out of the corner of his eye. “This is too dangerous,” Scott urges, saying what Stiles is thinking – trusting Theo with his father’s life is like throwing sticks into the fire hoping they won’t burn. And what if he doesn’t find the nemeton? What if he can’t uphold his side of the deal? “We’ll find another way.”

    But when? How? What other way is there?

    Stiles sets his jaw. Theo banks on him moving heaven and hell to protect his father. There’s only one way this conversation can end. “I’ll do it.”

    4/5 ⭐️.

    i didnt rly see the stiles/theo in the beginning. but now im starting to see how this will all play out with stiles eventually realising theo wants the best for him (even with his very unconventional methods) and forgives him. also the sexual tension is startinggg.

    love the rs between parrish and stiles <3 i love how everybody is protecting stiles like theo and cerberus/parrish!!

    oh my god stiles please js choose brett or theo i cant do this anymore. its like a romantasy book with the fmc and the love triangle but im somehow liking it. honestly i was rooting for brett for a while lol theo was js too mean.

    oh god dont do this to me. “Stiles takes a breath and forces himself to go numb.” STOP. i love and hate how much of an effect a character i care abt (stiles) ‘goes numb’ has on me. especially if theyre usually rly witty (stiles) or energetic (stiles).

    5/5 ⭐️.

    THIS WAS SO GOOD. I LOVE THIS SO MUCHHHH.

    oh my god the romance. i love. so much. i cant even express how much i love this.

    this is so freaking smutty bro istg i cldnt read this outside most times 💔. also minho having both of the kinks (hair-pulling and praise kink) i really love to see is crazy. it feels like this fic was just made for me.

    the fact the moment they think they get a happy ending, another problem pops up. but i do love that the problem was referenced and teased at during the fic and now it all spilled over. im so glad they get a happy ending.

    Acclaimed mystery novelist Alex Claremont-Diaz is fresh off his latest bestseller and lacking inspiration when Detective Henry Fox brings him in for questioning about a murder. Suddenly, Alex has all the inspiration he needs for a brand-new set of books and Henry has a brand-new and unlikely tagalong. (and maybe, eventually, something much more.)

    or, the Castle AU.

    4/5 ⭐.

    how does one incorporate angst and fluff into one fic and make them both act as two identical bullets straight into my heart. also, if you like dreamy, non-explicit, comforting sex, this is it. i absolutely love the dynamic between these two and the plot is also so fascinating! by far my fav fic in the rwrb fandom.

    butttt i lowk dont remember the plot near the end and while reading i remember i was kinda confused. well, at least this gives me a reason to reread i suppose lol.

    5/5 ⭐.

    yknow those fics that you look at and say "oh yeah this is definitely the fic of the fandom"? this is it. the banter alone makes this one of the best fics ive ever read. ive spent so many night (re)reading this banger and i will never tire of it. the yearning in this as well???
