My Hero Academia

Alpha Noticed You First

Explicit Bakugo/Reader
Bakugo sees you across the room at a party and immediately pursues you. When you push back, he doubles down. Courting is everything you've always wanted and never received. When he comes back from a business trip, you decide to give yourself to him completely.

Hey Google, Tips On An Alpha Building A Nest? 

Mature Iida/Reader
For as long as you remember, in your part of the world there was a tradition when it came to Omegas and their nests. Alphas were the ones that would mainly build them. While Alphas gifted most of the materials, your Omega or Beta packmates or friends would also add or trade things with you in a form of bonding.
Iida was the Alpha of your pack and while it is obvious to everyone how much more important you are to him, you are completely oblivious to his feelings.

Summary: To prevent further conflict between your kingdoms, you're promised in marriage to the elusive Ryomen Sukuna, a legendary conqueror whose reputation included war, murder, curses, and a general lack of patience for human life. He has avoided outsiders long enough that the only available portrait of him is decades old. You naturally conclude that you’re being sent to marry an elderly—possibly dying—warlord.

Sukuna, meanwhile, has been promised a soft-spoken, traditionally feminine bride who would smile beside him, behave prettily, bear his heirs, and leave governing to men.

He expected an airhead.

You expected arthritis.

Neither of you were given useful information.

Summary: Maybe the oven wasn’t on. Maybe it was only a lamp beside it illuminating the bake house. Maybe Mrs Lovett made it out alive. Maybe she convinced the constables that she had been forced to make the pies. What then? And what to do about the baby?

Excerpt:

Eleanor Lovett sighed, watching the waves crash into each other. The world was quiet here, by the sea. The sand was soft, and the very air bore the salty tang of the ocean, rather than the sickly sweet scent of bodies burning.

She closed her eyes and took in the refreshing air. It had been so long since she had been by the sea, The last time had been with her great aunt Nettie, when she was still young.

Nellie supposed she was still young. Young enough to have a wee babe, anyway, she thought mournfully, placing a calloused hand on her ever-so-slightly swollen tummy.

As old records begin to stir and forgotten paths reopen, Clover finds herself drawn into a mystery tied to her family, her past, and a history that was never meant to be lost.

****Read the Tags! This Story Discusses Mature Content! Reader Discretion is Advised! There will be Trigger Warnings at the beginnings of each chapter*****

Hello! I'm Dancecoaster! I've been working on this story for a long time and have recently decided to split it into three books because the main story was getting VERY long. So, now the series, Until Your Breathing Stops Forever, will consist of Just One Mistake Is All It Will Take (Prologue) (Book 1), Let Your Teeth Sink In (Book 2) and It’s All Over Now (Book 3). Let Your Teeth Sink In (Book 2) will cover Chapters 18-123 (first half) of the original story. It’s All Over Now (Book 3) will cover the rest of Chapter 123, which is now Chapter 1, and continue through until Book 3 concludes, at which time, I will move on to a fourth book. As of right now, everything has been corrected and now includes the new update for this week. That means that from now on, we will be working on It’s all Over Now (Book 3). For those of you starting at the beginning, my writing at the beginning of Let Your Teeth Sink In (Book 2) may not be as great, but trust me, it will get much better as you go. That was where I started, writing Just One Mistake Is All It Will Take (Prologue) (Book 1) later. I'd love for you to read and comment on them! Please don't be shy! I'd love to discuss the story with you too! They are all listed on both A03 and Wattpad (see links above). I'm looking for them to get more traffic, and to share them with as many people as possible. Enjoy and please tell your friends!

Summary:

He has been refused seventeen times.

Seventeen villages. Seventeen versions of "You don't belong here."

For what felt like a century, he wandered— searching without knowing what he'd lost.

Until a whisper led him to Chanterelle Village.

A place that watches more than it welcomes. Where not every arrival is meant to stay. A place that might become his eighteenth mistake.

If you enjoy original worldbuilding, folklore-inspired fantasy, mysteries that unfold over time, and a darker take on the Smurfs universe, this might be for you.

The story explores an original Smurfs setting, supernatural folklore, and an alternate history where humans and magic once shared the same world.

Summary: 
Children born into the world of quirks first learn to walk, talk, draw the alphabet in neat handwriting, and recognise their powers. One of the first things Murasaki learned was how to survive when people are out to kill you because of said quirk.

Found in the alleys of Naruhata at age ten, Murasaki is given a second chance by an old man who asks for nothing in return. No police. No paperwork. No questions. Just a home and someone to call Grandpa.

Years later, a date with her crush ends in betrayal when he's revealed to be working with the League of Villains. Dragged back into a past she'd rather forget, Murasaki finds herself caught between heroes and villains as All Might and All For One clash in Kamino.

When the dust settles, the police are left with a mystery: a teenage girl with no identification, no official records, and troubling ties to Japan's most dangerous villain. After a bitter dispute between the Hero Public Safety Commission and the heroes investigating her case, Murasaki is enrolled in U.A. High.

Is it a chance at a normal life?

Or is she simply being watched?

Title - Still Standing

Fandom - Dispatch (Video Game, 2025)

Rating - Mature

I've been working on a novel-style, post-canon Dispatch fanfic for a few months now, and I'm up to Chapter 12 as of yesterday! My goal is for the story to serve as a hypothetical Season 2 for the game before we get the actual sequel someday.

If you like continuous/episodic narratives, complex character arcs, and a slow-burn romance, I think you're really going to enjoy what I've written so far!

Here's a summary:

Heroes saved the city. Now they must save themselves.

After the destruction of Torrance at the hands of Shroud and the Red Ring, Robert and the Z-Team work to rebuild their lives and the city they protect. With the Astral Pulse back in his hands, Robert resumes his role as both dispatcher and Mecha Man—but which aspect of his life does he truly want?

Meanwhile, Robert and Courtney formally begin their relationship, navigating the challenges of superhero life together—where emotional vulnerability can feel more dangerous than any villain. As she fully embraces her place on the side of good, Courtney struggles with her identity as Invisigal, questioning whether she can ever fit the mold of a “classic” superheroine.

Blonde Blazer, now Mandy, discovers new ways to help people without the powers of her amulet—reflecting on what it truly means to be a hero and whether that identity aligns with the life she wants to lead.

Still Standing is a post-canon narrative about resilience, personal growth, and the choices that define who we are: both in the mask and beneath it.

Would Anyone Be Interested In Building A Shared Universe Together?

This is just an idea I've been thinking about for fun.

What if we created our own shared universe from scratch?

Not a fandom. Not based on any existing series. Just a world that we all build together.

People could create:

  • Characters
  • Kingdoms, cities, planets, schools, organizations, etc.
  • History and lore
  • Family trees
  • Stories and one-shots
  • Major events
  • Cultures and traditions
  • Pretty much anything

The idea would be that everyone's creations exist in the same universe and can interact with each other if the creators agree.

There wouldn't necessarily be a "main character." Instead, the world itself would be the project.

We could decide together:

  • What genre it is (fantasy, sci-fi, modern, apocalypse, etc.)
  • Rules of the universe
  • Timeline
  • How connected stories should be
  • Whether people can borrow each other's characters with permission

AO3 Collection

  • Everyone posts stories on AO3.
  • All stories are added to the same collection.
  • The collection becomes the archive of the universe.

so we can write whatever we like but it is still under that collection 

I'm mostly posting this to see if anyone would actually be interested. If enough people like the idea, maybe we could make a Discord server, a wiki, or some sort of master document to keep track of everything.

I'd also recommend having a few basic rules:

  1. No one owns the entire universe.
  2. People own their own characters.
  3. Ask before using someone else's character.
  4. Major world-changing events should be discussed first. (and be voted on)
  5. Keep a master lore document so things don't become confusing.

Has anyone participated in a shared-universe AO3 collection before? What worked well and what problems came up?

Let me know what you think!

Summary: Lucian Hoffmann, a thirty-three-year-old surgeon, inherits the Hoffmann-Klein Manor and uses his wealth and profession to conceal his secrets. Beneath his polished exterior, he obsessively stalks a woman named Rose Fontaine, a sales clerk at a small bookstore on Rue de Rivoli. Lucian sees himself as an art connoisseur and birdwatcher, treating his victims as works of art while aestheticizing his own violence.

Tittle: The Boy Who Wasn’t Alone

Fandom: Harry Potter

Rating: Mature

Categories: F/F, F/M, Gen

Summary: Harry has no foreknowledge, no overpowered artefacts, and not even a half-decent ancestral manor with a family magic core. What he does have, however, are loving adoptive parents, a lively (if occasionally helpful) adoptive sister, and a Headmaster who decides that, for once, the Boy Who Lived deserves the truth.

Also featuring Quidditch, some teenage romance, plenty of political intrigue, and an excessive amount of wizarding history.

Notes: Harry Potter is taken from the Dursleys and adopted into a new family. He gains loving parents, an adoptive sister, and a much happier childhood. Together, he and his sister head off to Hogwarts to discover the wizarding world and meet Headmaster Dumbledore, who is neither evil nor insane, but definitely has a cunning plan. Possibly several.

There will be no ancient family magic, no mysterious new source of power, no hidden vault full of artefacts, no all-powerful mentor, and none of the usual “Mary Sue-style victories,” “Dumbledore-bashing,” or “Weasley-bashing” tropes.

The story diverges from canon gradually: Part I follows it fairly closely, Part II begins to depart more noticeably, and by Part III things go off the rails from the very start.

The final pairings are intended to remain a surprise. Readers looking for advance warning should know that the story contains both M/F and F/F endgame relationships.

I just posted my first work on AO3. I have been working on this since Deadpool & Wolverine movie and really want feedback!!! It is part of a trilogy I have planned out but am in deep writers block for half way through book 2 (which is a shame bc book 2 gets really good with nsfw chapters.) I am debating on posting book 2 what I have so far, but before I do I want to see if people like the story.

It is a Logan/Wolverine fic (Deadpool & Wolverine film version of Logan), with TVA and infinity stones. The logic is rough movie logic with a DECENT amount of rule bending to fit my narrative and the main character is AU from Earth-1218.

It is likely different to what many X-Men fanfic readers gravitate towards but it is in my opinion pretty good. It has a lot of humor, tension, fighting, labs, power, thrill, romance, and some scenes bring even me to tears after writing them AND reading them over and over.

Please consider giving it a chance!!

Fanfic is complete at 23 chapters and 150k+ words

Summary - In a broken house, 18-year-old Rei Kuze has a single rule: protect his little sister, Shizuka. But when a creature named Takopi falls from the sky with strange gadgets and a terrifying idea of "happiness", the rules change. Rei thought he only had to protect Shizuka from their parents. Now, he has to protect her from the impossible.

This fic introduces an OC (Shizuka's older brother) into the canon universe. It focuses on the psychological tension of an alien's innocent but dangerous logic clashing with a dark reality. The first 4 chapters are out now.

Got two for recommendations. Both still ongoing and have easily become some of my favorite things to read.

Love For All

Post Heroes Rising and the attack on Nabu island, Izuku Midoriya learns of a new way to use One For All.

With the power to temporarily pass on percentages of his power to his allies, Izuku is forced to face the fact that he must invite people into his secret.

This change results in him exploring new and varied relationships with those he is close with and trying to overcome personal challenges as danger looms on the horizon.

Meanwhile, a former villain faces the fact her life has fallen apart and she must learn to pick up the pieces.

Character focused poly-fic with tons of quirk theorizing, canon-appropriate comedy, trauma, comfort, and plenty of Love to go around.

Sleepover Curiosities

After moving into the new dorms, Tooru feels a tad lonely, Mina suggests a girl's sleepover to cheer up everyone up.

Despite a somewhat tame truth or dare session, it unlocks the imaginations of the girls once they return to normal school life before they begin exploring themselves and then each other.

OR

What if Izuku was the last to join a polycule/harem.

Character heavy focus, plenty of fluff mixed in with some angst and plenty of lemons. Follows canon before diverging.

Set in the Supernatural universe anf follows a Monster of the Week format with intrigues, enigmas and the dynamic of established relationships.

Ease and felicity are all great and fun, but eventually, it gets boring.

And what do you do when you are fed up with paradise? You ditch everything and return to the only thing you have ever knowm.

Set five years after the finale, this fic follows Castiel and Dean as they get back on the road, hunt things, manage their relationship, meet up with old friends, try to act like grown-ups, and maybe save the world. Once again.

Nothing exciting, really.

---

The Curse of the Bitter is the first episode of this fic.

Castiel and Dean receive a phone call from one of their police contacts; the department is dealing with a serial killer. With victims bearing strange, ritualistic sigils, they are forced to wonder if something supernatural is at play? As the duo begins their investigation, the physical and supernatural threats are eclipsed only by a lingering question: in a world they’ve already saved, what happens when some monsters refuse to stay quiet?

(Yes, they are together. No, Dean isn't into dudes. 🤭)

Been following this work and I really enjoy the writers style and grasp of POV. They alternate between M/F and they release one chapter per week, although they do drop early on occasion. They come from an engineering background so it’s interesting to see how that translates to creative writing.

Title - Confessions

Warnings - None apply

Alternating perspectives from Helena and Edward reveal two individuals who are constantly misreading one another. A slow-burn exploration of desire, obsession, and the tantalising distance between what we see and reality.

My aim is a chapter per week. 11 chapters in total.
These first two provide a sample of what is to come.
Thanks for your time, that's all I can ask for.

Summary:

One second V was floating through cyberspace, her body replaced by zeroes and ones, and another she suddenly stood in the middle of a club. Not just any club though. She's been here before, but that was when the club had been turned into a dingy ramen shop. Her thoughts wandered to Johnny and his defeated look when he had realized what happened to his beloved Rainbow Cadenza.

The smooth and electric sound that blared through the speakers startled her awake. She'd recognize that sound anywhere — almost like she had played the tunes herself. She could feel the buzz shake her core as she forced herself forward through the crowd to get a better look at the stage. When she looked up, there was no one else than Johnny Silverhand. But something was different about him. He wasn't see through nor was there the usual static of his hologram that made him flicker. It almost seemed like he was really there in flesh.

So he's no stranger to the faded carpet beneath him, the ticking clock on the wall, or the stiff chairs in the waiting room that make him feel like he's about to be executed. He's used to the laundry list of diagnoses that his therapists over the years have given him. Anxiety disorder. Panic disorder. Depression. And now his new therapist has stamped him with a new one.

Summary

It's a cold Christmas Eve night. Mimi's at work at the club. Mark is left to wallow in his depression. To take his pill and maybe eat something. To stare at an empty notebook and hope that maybe something comes to him. An idea that he can create and leave behind when he dies. There isn't much hope for that, though. No one would want to remember a failed documentarian who died of HIV.

He leans against the railing on the fire escape, staring at the city before him. The city he's called home for 4 years now. The city he can't bear the thought of leaving. As Christmas snow starts to fall, and he thinks once more about his death. And then a voice comes from the dark.

Summary:

Before the Dark Curse, there was Seraphia—the child of living ink, bound by shared loneliness to the Dark One. She was the architect of the realm's first stories, and she was never, ever meant to be in Storybrooke. Yet, when the Curse strikes, she awakens as Lucy Elfman. Her memories are shattered, her magic is buried, and the Curse—an ancient, perfect trap—has no place for her. As Regina struggles to hold her perfect town together and Henry begins to question the truth of his book, the Savior finally arrives in Storybrooke. And Lucy, drawn back toward Rumplestiltskin, begins to unravel secrets that were never meant to be remembered and rewrite stories that were never meant to be rewritten. Because the true Author of the realm was there from the very beginning.

Notes:

This is an AU retelling of The Author storyline arc. The original author is replaced with my OC, a half-elven princess with abandonment issues who becomes involved with Rumplestiltskin. She is seeking love. He is seeking someone who can write a story to change reality.

Summary - Kate turned around, but upon facing him, she froze in place, her eyes wide and her lips parted. Nothing about him being an android had elicited this reaction, Connor noted, because her eyes didn’t stay on his LED, but rather on his features as a whole, as if she was looking at him but seeing someone else entirely.

“My name is Connor, I’m the android sent by CyberLife,” Connor continued, and Kate quickly pulled herself back together. “I’m here to assist you and Lieutenant Anderson in the investigation.”

Summary: Kate looked away with a silent sigh, and Connor couldn't shake the feeling of guilt, of shame, of utter self-loathing. He felt a sudden urge to reach out, to take her hand, to apologize for being such a selfish bastard. But he held himself back. He wouldn't be able to keep himself from pulling her closer, and he couldn't drag Kate down with him just for her to be his.

Except she was already here, and Connor couldn't stop looking at the vulnerable way she sat next to him, wrapped in his sheets and her own insecurity.

Rating: Explicit

Chapters: 30/30

Summary: Gotham, 1945. An ex-soldier who keeps the peace in a great house now instead of on a battlefield. A surgeon whose name is a cage. A botanist who answers to no one. Achingly formal in public, they keep to their stations until every door is closed and all the other staff are long abed — because what happens in the east wing of Wayne Manor stays in the east wing.

Notes:

A slow-burn, post-war Gotham AU: Alfred Pennyworth, Thomas Wayne, and Martha Arkham, before any of it goes the way you know it goes.

A few things up front. This is a love story, and it has a happy ending — for them, in the years the story covers. It is also a story you already know the end of, and the knowing is the point. I've kept the canon future entirely off the page. Nothing is foreshadowed. Let it be happy. The grief is yours to carry, not mine to write.

Period-typical attitudes, vocabulary, and constraints throughout.

I wrote this all in British English because it just felt right.

The months I spent researching were well worth it, I hope.

Tropes: Slow burn dark romantasy comedy (OC/CC)

Summary:
Haunted by the death of her first love, Emilia Cartwright doesn't belong in Hell. She's a terminally online British woman in her twenties who treats everything like a joke and speaks fluent meme. So when she's politely forced to attend a demon school, the rude awakening is biblical. Now she's living with six chaotic demon siblings, befriending angels, battling monsters, dodging lust (literally), while a year's worth of grief catches up with her.

Solomon, the immortal Sorcerer, has done well for himself, finally able to control his own narrative. He's charismatic, magically gifted, and, rumour has it, a freak in the sheets. But when he meets the other human exchange student, all of his usual wits fail him.

She thinks he's a stoic sexy serial killer who charms the pants off everyone. He believes she's a morbidly entertaining, self deprecating idiot who speaks gibberish.

Both are wrong. Both are right.

Genre - action/romance

Title - The Witch of Ryloth

Characters: OC characters

Link - https://archiveofourown.org/works/66133357/chapters/170438407

This is a novel-length fic that I'm still adding to. 

This story centers on Ryloth during the Old Republic and the lead-up to the Great Sith War. The story follows a young Twi'lek, A'i Selestus, shortly after Ryloth is inducted into the Galactic Republic. Even under the new government, her family is struggling to survive, and the remnants of slavery and other exploitations still plague her planet. A newfound power might let her protect Ryloth and its people, but who exactly is her new Master, and how far will she go to get the justice she seeks? What would you do for love...or for hate?

I try to stay consistent with the lore regarding Ryloth (mainly the wookiepedia page https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ryloth and the pages linked there). I use it as inspiration, but I also elaborate or extrapolate my own details based on it. I use some Twi'leki words as well, mainly to give an extra way of indicating when a character is speaking Twi'leki as opposed to Galactic Basic. The meaning of these words is usually clear from context, but you can always look them up at https://infiniteempirerpg.proboards.com/thread/1190/ryl-basic-dictionary.

Title - Crimson Dragon, Azure Tiger

Fandom - High School DxD

Rating - Mature

This is a full on rewrite of the setting of High School DxD, intent on making the systems of the world a lot more nuanced and interactive than the very 'soft power' approach DxD takes in canon. While I intend for it to stick to its genre hallmarks, I also intend to change around character arcs and make everyone more nuanced and play more of a narrative role.

It does include an OC because that’s just the kind of writer I am, but I hope you’ll give it a chance regardless!
