- So the new girl’s name is Chihiro and she’s weird and charming and friendly and fearless.  She always wears a lucky purple hairtie and she stops to bow to every shrine she comes across and she takes her time writing her name, every kanji clear and precise and unmistakable.  She goes from new to popular in about a week and her teachers tell her parents that their daughter has a natural gift for making friends, open and cheerful with anyone who’s civil to her.  She doesn’t have answers for anyone about those two months that her family was just kind of missing, but other than that she’s an open book. - Chihiro is known for being open, even. - So when a girl in a salmon uniform shows up at the school looking for her sister Sen, a year after Chihiro’s arrival, and Chihiro launches herself into the stranger’s arms with a whoop of delight, everyone is…a little lost. - Chihiro’s sister is scary.  One of the older boys hit on her and she broke his wrist.  Chihiro told her to behave and her sister waved a hand and said, “Relax, Sen, he had it coming.”  She moves like a bulldozer–if you’re in her way, your choices are to get out of it or get flattened.  Within the day, it’s been firmly established that Lin, whoever the hell she is, is some kind of thug.  She comes by every few months and brings Chihiro brief letters from “Young Master Haku” and from “Granny” and “the boilerman” and everyone walks a little warier around Chihiro because her sister is clearly a yanki and not to be toyed with.  Chihiro’s an easygoing person, but honestly Lin absolutely radiates “they’ll never find the body” and it handily resolves any issues that Chihiro might otherwise have.

Stuck in London in 1882 without Magnus’ magic, the way back to New York in the 21st century requires securing a charmed amulet from the Magnus who lives in that time. Thankfully, Alec has a proven track record of being the kind of man Magnus wants. This is both good and bad news. - “It’s the only way,” says Magnus, grim. “And it’ll work. We already know that just one look is all it’ll take for him to go for you."

General Wellington selects Colonel Fitzwilliam for a very singular honor during the Spanish Campaign: working with dragons-- and, in particular, with Captain Elizabeth Bennet, of His Majesty's Dragon, the Longwing Wollstonecraft. Temeraire/ Pride and Prejudice crossover entirely to have Elizabeth Bennet as a dragon captain during the Peninsular War, with Charlotte Lucas as her uber-capable first lieutenant.

Under the cover of a masquerade ball, Castiel has five nights to recover the key to his people's freedom. The world has changed greatly in the six centuries since their banishment into the void, but the task isn't impossible. Unfortunately for Castiel, this is going to involve talking to people - especially the Knight Prince who has taken an interest in Castiel and his "costume" wings. (Destiel Cinderella AU)

but uGH book!harry was so passionate and charismatic and witty and sarcastic and a natural leader and he didn’t fucking need ginny to yell at a group to stfu to get them to listen to him because if harry wanted you to listen he would MAKE YOU FUCKING LISTEN because when he was angry he was intimidating as fuck and he had this intensity about him like he was usually pretty chill and laid back and up for a laugh but you knew if you really pissed him off he might kill you because he had so much inner rage because of his shitty life and sometimes he would explode and he also had an ego like he was humble but also arrogant at times and he could be such a douche but also super nice and like he’ll save your life but he won’t bother being your friend because who the fuck are you to him really and jesus fucking christ HE WAS SO INTERESTING and movie!harry is like blandass oatmeal with no flavor like he was just such a flat character with no charisma NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID TO HARRY.

PARIS, 1899. At the height of French Imperialism, a golden age of peace and prosperity has led to a flourishing of art and technology in the empire's capital. But beneath the beautiful facade of the Belle Époque, the world is brimming with tension, as the rising tides of nationalism and industrialization threaten to open a dangerous new chapter of history. Navigating this brave new world is Adrien Agreste, a promising young detective with more heart than sense. He's never particularly cared for politics or plotting, but he finds himself drawn ever-deeper into a dangerous web of deceit and betrayal as he investigates his most puzzling case yet: that of the mysterious thief known only as Ladybug...

Team Seven, year 98, consists of the Konoha jinchuriki, a civilian's daughter, and the little girl Uchiha Itachi drove insane. Kakashi doesn't know what he did to deserve this, but he handles the situation the best he can.

"It's possible my students are demons sent to torture me for my sins," Kakashi sighs, drink in hand. Gai pats him on the back. "You'll be fine, my friend." "They're punctual, Gai. Punctual."

Time Travel AU. Sakura has come back to do good deeds and fix some shit. Not posted in chronological order.

They didn't really notice Hadrian Moores at first, at least until he started getting between them and the Slytherins. What kind of Gryffindor was he? His best friend was Sirius' snake of a little brother for Merlin's sake! But that's not even the worst part. In other news, Harry goes back in time to stop what he can only describe as the end of the world. He's since learned not to trust everything you read in 300 year old books written by madmen. Now he's eleven again and stuck in 1972, but he'll take what he can get. Snapshots of the Marauder's school years and their interactions with Hadrian Moores, the craziest kid they'll ever meet as he alternates between the bane of their existence and a reluctant friend.

Sakura traveled back in time with the intent of changing everything, but something went wrong, and now she's a four-year-old civilian having nightmares about impossible monsters and losing friends she has yet to meet.

all right. so. this is a Harry Potter AU, in rambly and abbreviated form. - this is a version of events where, on the morning of November 1st, 1981, the police are called to a house in Surrey. - when they arrive, a large man with a red face and a moustache is waiting for them, brandishing a baby. - to be more accurate: he is brandishing a basket. the basket contains a baby. - he tells the police that his wife found the basket on their doorstep that morning. “Gave her the shock of her life,” he says, with a chuckle that does not seem the least bit sincere. - the police officers have a lot of questions about this, but the man does not have any useful answers. his wife, he tells them, is not in any shape to be interviewed. “she’s been poorly,” he says, “and we’ve got a baby of our own to worry about, keeping us up at all hours.” - there is no identifying information in the basket, except for a torn scrap of paper with ‘his name is Harry’ on it in a delicate hand. - there it nothing else to be done, it seems. the officers take baby Harry, and leave.

This ship and her crew received a message from a location they could not hope to reach in under four hours. Just barely over three hours later, they arrived at Titanic’s last known coordinates. Half an hour after that, at 4am, they would finally find the first of the lifeboats. it would take until 8:30 in the morning for the last survivor to be brought onboard. Passengers from Carpathia universally gave up their berths, staterooms, and clothing to the survivors, assisting the crew at every turn and sitting with the sobbing rescuees to offer whatever comfort they could. In total, 705 people of Titanic’s original 2208 were brought onto Carpathia alive. No other ship would find survivors. At 12:20am April 15th, 1912, there was a miracle on the North Atlantic. And it happened because a group of humans, some of them strangers, many of them only passengers on a small and unimpressive steam liner, looked at each other and decided: I cannot live with myself if I do anything less. I think the least we can do is remember them for it.

After a long (or at least it felt long) difficult life (and a suprisingly long death) Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master and sometimes mad desert hermit is pleased to wake up somewhere sunny, warm and sand-free. Honestly, waking up in the AgriCorp is just another example of the force's slightly unexpected sense of humour, and after so many years fighting it is a somewhat welcome change in a world where he can still feel his loved ones, rich in the force across the stars. Unfortunately, one day it suddenly becomes clear that this is not, strictly speaking, the after life he was looking for.

khr college au - tsuna’s major is undeclared and he has intense and sudden spikes of anxiety every single time whenever someone brings it up or something reminds him of the fact, because he’s in a prolonged state of millennial existential crisis but he keeps, like, forgetting about it - yamamoto and squalo are roommates. no one has any idea how it works out so smoothly or how yam is like, alive. yam doesn’t understand why none of his other friends want to get along with squalo - they’re fairly certain squalo is a serial killer - gokudera rooms with Shitt P. he keeps a blog where he posts daily entries about his observations, because he is convinced she is an alien. he’s amassed a lot of followers - tsuna is pretty sure that at least a third of the student body is involved in Crime, somehow? but he never knows how to bring it up and everyone else just acts like everything is normal. so he just doesn’t. talk about it. it’s probably just his imagination. maybe. - mukuro is the unholy cross between the theatre gay no one actually likes and that annoying dude who sits with his legs on the desk in the back of the class and smirks during your women’s studies class. he actually tried to sit closer to the front once but no one would move to make room for him so he had to go back. it was an emotional turning point in his life - there’s a rumour on campus that this guy called byakuran has All the previous years’ exam answer sheets. All Of Them. no one knows how, but it’s said that if you manage to track him down and get to an agreement with him you’ll be able to pass all your classes breezily…. though it’ll cost you. it takes a lot of desperation to try, but tsuna is more desperate than most - hibari’s still in middle school

ou know how people always say that we (Americans) learn about the Holocaust in public school because it was a white people killing white people genocide? And then they use that to point to the fact that our education system/curriculum is painfully inadequate at showing non-western European history. And while that is obviously true (that our education system focuses on Western European history to the exclusion of the rest of the world), we REALLY don’t learn about the Holocaust. All we learn is that it happened and that people were murdered starved to death or contracted typhus and died (looking at you John Green). We really don’t learn about the details of the what, why, and how the Holocaust happened. We don’t learn about the other groups of victims. Except as a footnote where they’re referred to by a slur. We don’t learn about the resistance movements: the partisan movements, the ghetto uprisings, the uprisings in the actual concentration camps. We don’t learn about the rise of the Nazi Party (other than that the economic destruction and devastation of Germany following WWI somehow made for fertile ground for the Nazi party; as if hundreds of years of institutionalized antisemitism had NOTHING to do with it). We don’t learn about the Damascus affair or the Dreyfus affair. We don’t learn about the pogroms.  --- We NEVER learn about the aftermath of the Holocaust. We never learn about the camps for displaced persons. Because they couldn’t “go back to Poland.” All their property and homes had been taken by their gentile neighbors. We never learn about European and North American countries turning away Holocaust survivors by the boat load. We never learn about how the British limited Jewish immigration into Palestine and would send any “illegally” smuggled Jewish survivors whom they caught into a new DP camp on Cyprus (because both Palestine and Cyprus were under British control at the time).

The Riddler hijacks the local TV airwaves and appears onscreen holding a comically long roll of paper. After dramatically clearing his throat, he proceeds to read from it. “The following is a list of people who can suck it. Number One: The Joker. I don’t think I need to explain that one. Number Two: Cluemaster. Fuck you, you stole my bit, and I will be like a plague unto your house. Number Three: King Tut. You also stole my bit, but did it while killing people and got me arrested for murder. Also, I’m, like, 93% sure you’re a white guy and your costume is racist. “Number Four: The Scarecrow. I know you ate my leftover Chinese, Jon, even though I wrote my name on it. I was saving that for lunch. I had to eat a goddamn peanut butter and jelly sandwich like a five-year-old. It was all you had in the hideout. For fuck’s sake, go shopping, not all of us can live like a bridge troll. “Number Five: The Penguin. You- No, no, wait, wait… That one should be crossed out. He replaced that and apologized. Never mind, Oswald, you’re fine. Drinks at 7:00 tomorrow, right?

During a publicity stunt, Harry and 5 others are sent to another world where a well timed Stupefy made all the difference. As Harry looks for his peers and a way home, another Harry investigates the odd arrival of his doppelganger.

I read Hamlet back in high school and to this day my absolute favorite thing about it was when Guildenstern was trying to fool Hamlet into doing something or other and Hamlet’s savvy to it but rather than saying “you’re lying and trying to trick me” instead Hamlet outta nowhere whips out this flute and tells Guildenstern to play it. And Guildenstern is all “I dont know how to play a flute, my lord” And Hamlet takes a dramatic pause before he absolutely ruins Guildenstern with, “Well thats funny considering you thought you could play me”
