Summary
London learned her the way it learned all the forgotten things—
by stepping around her until she learned how to fold herself into the cracks.She slept where the stone stayed warm longest, under bridges that smelled of damp iron and old water, in doorways where shopkeepers forgot to check after closing. Once, for nearly a week, in the hollow space beneath a theatre staircase where the walls hummed faintly at night, as if remembering applause.
She knew the city’s breathing patterns. When it exhaled crowds and when it inhaled danger. She knew which streets swallowed you quietly and which ones spat you back out bleeding.

Faster Than Silence (English Version) by flickerweasleys

Summary
Born just minutes before Harry Potter, Lyra was the first to cry—and the first to vanish.
On October 31st, 1981, a flash of white lightning saved her from Voldemort, and the world forgot she ever existed.
Raised as Lyra Selwyn, in a cold pureblood world of rules and expectations, she learned how to survive—sharp mind, clever tongue, heart hidden beneath silence.
At Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat whispered Slytherin. She wore green with pride, but never conformed with the people near her. She was too curious, too kind. Even too different, at times. Whispers of speed haunted her steps, flashes of light flickered in her dreams. No spell could explain them.
By her fourth year, something shifted. The Triwizard Tournament arrived — and so did George Weasley, a red-haired prankster with a crooked grin and gentle eyes. And Harry, the boy she’d only watched from afar, began to look at her like he somehow already knew. Like a mirror that didn’t lie. For the first time, Lyra slowed down.
But the past was never gone. The truth was coming, because Lyra Eileen Selwyn was never meant to stay in the shadows.
She was born to rise. To run. To break the world open — at the speed of light.

Summary
In their childhood, Wooyoung was the misunderstood loner, feared by others for his sharp edges, while San was a social butterfly who followed him with endless curiosity. San was the only one drawn to Wooyoung’s unique asymmetrical eyes and in return, Wooyoung acted as his bossy, taller protector. On the day they were forced to part, they made a final, childish promise:
"Don't wowwy, we'll see each other again." Wooyoung stated firmly, looking down at his smaller friend.
San replied with a determined glint in his eyes. "But next time, I’m going to be biggew than you!"
Fifteen years later at a university party, San has kept his word. The once-tiny boy is now a towering, muscular man, while Wooyoung finds himself looking up for the first time in his life. The physical shift triggers a night of intense, long-awaited dominance, as San finally proves that he is no longer the little brother following orders, he is the man in control.

Summary
Two Stans were born on June 15th, 1954, but only one went home with his parents. The other?
Rumor has it he's out somewhere on the other side of the country with their Great-Aunt, in a little town by the name of Gravity Falls, Oregon. They were never supposed to know about each other, but if there's one thing you can count on a Stan Twin doing, it's the opposite of what you want them to.
Only one thing is certain: Stanley and Stanford Pines are going to make the Summer of 1967 one to remember.

As the Grand Prix Final looms, Gwi-Ma's manipulation peaks, pushing Jinu to a desperate gamble with redemptive sacrifice on the ice, proving that some promises, even if broken, can still define a destiny.

Summary
Alex is a young adult under the care of the surviving nurses along with the other orphans after they all had to escape from the ever increasingly abusive Madame Advisor. Although, Alex's own caregivers aren't much better. And after enduring so much of their emotionally draining "Love", Alex finally decides to leave, despite that causing them to abandon their two only friends, Melissa and Monki
On the other side of the world, under the care and eyes of the Madame Advisor and the loyal nurses who stayed behind, lies Manuel. Ever the apathetic yet curious one, Manuel is no stranger to the messed up inner workings of his own home, not even blinking an eye to the incessant bullying that happens daily only for it to be shushed by the nurses for being too loud. But the secrets being shared and hidden about their history before they all were orphaned continue to go unnoticed by him. And soon, his own curiosity will be satisfied, but perhaps the price would be too much for him
