Summary
She played softly, fingers gliding over the ancient keys of the piano the Room had conjured — her mother’s salon, reborn in flickering candlelight. Notes drifted through the air like smoke, curling around the dark figure in the armchair behind her.
Tom Riddle sat with one leg crossed, firewhisky in one hand, a lit cigar in the other. He watched her through the haze, silent, as if trying to memorize every gesture, every sound. The flames caught in the glass and in her hair, and for a moment, he looked less like a boy destined for infamy and more like someone who had almost forgotten how alone he was.
“You don’t play for them,” he said quietly.
Hermione didn’t look up. “No.”
“But you play for me.”
A pause. Then: “Always.”
----
A war is lost when an opportunity is presented to her. Aberforth offers Hermione a chance to go back to the beginning to undo everything that has come to pass. Can Hermione Dumbledore alter the fate of one young man, can she turn the tide to a better future? Or is she fighting a losing battle, one where she looses herself in it?

Summary
“So, your robot picked up on some weird space activity and you…” she squints. “Just decided to take a spaceship to see what’s up?”
“Well…yes,” Reed says. Again, like it’s obvious. “That’s what we do. We’re—” he stops and studies her. “You really don’t know who we are?”
Darcy glances around the lab, where half her monitors are filling with information being scanned and gathered from their docked ship, at the nervous interns who insist on wearing full hazmat suits clustered near the door. “I feel like it’s pretty obvious that no one here knows who you are,” she says after a moment.
“We’re the Fantastic Four.”
She stares at him for a moment. “Did you come up with that name yourselves?”

Summary
She had to be thinking him bitter, hopelessly still hung up on an old wound. But it wasn’t her reason for leaving, but her absence itself that ached deep in his chest, in a way he hadn’t been aware of until she strolled into the bullpen this morning. He hoped she knew the difference as the silence wore on.
“Call it even?” Lois asked with a small smile playing on the corner of her mouth as she bit her bottom lip. Clark wanted nothing more than to free it from her teeth with his own lips.
“Yeah, Lo,” Clark whispered, smiling softly, leaning towards her unconsciously, desperate to be closer to her even if only a few inches. Her smile widened, blinding him with the brightness of a thousand Christmas trees wrapped in string lights. “We can call it even.”

Summary
Edward Cullen was a vampire: beautiful, unreadable, and visibly panicked around my father.
I wasn’t just human. I was half Meir’ha’dun. Not a mermaid, but something older. Colder. We evolved in the trench zones, with no scales, no shimmer, just seawater skin and bones that don’t break.
My eyes turn silver when I shift. My teeth can cut through fishbone and flesh. I wasn’t mythical; I was biological: wrong, real, and surfacing fast.
Myth makes monsters sound poetic. Biology just makes them real... and reality always comes with a cost.
I moved in with my father to escape the Phoenix heat and to hunt in the deep. Edward brought me a tuna sandwich and failed to dodge Charlie’s shameless innuendos.
A Twilight AU that mirrors canon’s pivotal moments, but tells a stranger story of its own.

As the Cullen family grows suspicious of her identity, and her bond with Damon frays, Zoe finds herself torn between two worlds: one she’s running from, and one she may have already lived. Zoe is forced to confront the legacy she's been running from—and the power that still lives inside her.

Summary
James Potter had always understood that life was fragile, war made sure of that. But understanding it and feeling it were two entirely different things.
And when the love of his life, the mother of his child, was murdered, it shattered everything he thought he knew about strength, hope, and life after loss.
When it feels like there’s nothing left, it's the steady presence of old friends, fierce love for his son, and a quiet light in the form of someone new, that brings him back from the edge. James must learn how to live again, not just for those he’s lost, but for the life still ahead of him.

Clark Kent's Kissing Experiment by Gabi3301

Summary
For Elizabeth Harper, the universe has always made sense through equations and logic. She is the girl who finds order in chaos, who believes every problem has a solution. But the heart of Clark Kent—her best friend and childhood neighbor—is a chaotic variable she cannot solve. When he asks for help to win over Lana Lang, Beth agrees, disguising her own desire for Clark under the logical pretext of applying a 'scientific method' to the problem, treating their kisses as a controlled experiment. The result, however, is an explosion of data she cannot predict: primitive jealousy, buried secrets, and an attraction that defies any law of physics. It is a journey about a girl who tries to control the uncontrollable, only to discover that the most powerful—and devastating—emotions are those that defy any formula.

Summary
War was never meant to be easy, but in the end, it had been unwinnable. Hermione Granger learned that the hard way. She had watched her best friends die, seen the world crumble around her, and when the last desperate chance to fix it all appeared—she took it.
The problem? It wasn’t meant for her.
Now, it’s 1977, and Hermione is trapped in the past, masquerading as a Ravenclaw while the First Wizarding War looms on the horizon. The Marauders are reckless, Moody is already preparing them for battle, and Dumbledore’s quiet gaze tells her he knows exactly what she’s done. But none of that is as dangerous as James Potter, who keeps looking at her like he sees her—like he’s determined to unravel her secrets.
But Hermione doesn’t have time for distractions. Not when her body is failing, time itself is working against her, and the war she fled is about to begin again.
This time, she has to get it right.
This time, she has to win.

Summary
On the night Voldemort comes to Godric’s Hollow, Lily’s sacrifice saves Harry — but a mysterious young woman saves James. Years later, James Potter raises his son with the help of Sirius and Remus, grieving his wife yet haunted by the memory of the stranger who looked at him with heartbreaking familiarity. When Harry enters Hogwarts and James finally meets Hermione Granger, he realizes the truth: the girl who saved him is the same witch who now walks at his son’s side.
What begins as a struggle to reconcile grief, fate, and fatherhood becomes a battle against destiny itself. Across the years of war, James must confront Dumbledore’s secrets, Harry’s peril, and the growing pull toward the brilliant witch bound to him by time. As Hermione discovers the cost of stepping into the past and James learns to live beyond the shadow of loss, their entwined paths reveal a truth neither can deny: this was the path that was always meant to be.
