Summary
Lews Therin Telamon sealed the Bore and broke the world in his grief. Rand al’Thor fought the Dark One directly, reforging the bars of his prison for another Age. Aldran of the Vale isn’t the Dragon or the Dragon Reborn. He’s just a fourteen-year-old goatherd, trying to keep his flock from wandering off into the mountains. But his soul bears the scars of greatness, and some part of him knows that it’s only a matter of time before the Wheel weaves away this simple, peaceful life.
Then raiders come for his mother, and something old, patient, and terrible finally answers.
~
Alternatively: Rand al’Thor dies in truth when he reforges the Pattern imprisoning the Dark One. He accidentally weaves himself too deeply into the Wheel. When his soul is reborn, Aldran is burdened with the memories of Lews Therin and Rand al’Thor. And in this life, just as the last, Aldran cannot escape the weight of prophecy.
Dragon. Dragon Reborn. Shan’dur.

The Bridge Knight by Talavin
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, Game of Thrones (TV)
29 Sep 2026
Tags
Summary
A man wakes up in a frozen hut south of the Wall with no memory, no name, and a status screen. He dies of hypothermia three times before he figures out how to keep a fire going.
No noble birth. No convenient canon insertion point. Just a villager in the Gift in 288 AC, with a leveling system, an autosave that rewinds time when he dies, and the growing suspicion that he's not the first person the system has chosen.
Gamer AU. OC SI. Slow-burn progression fantasy. Canon divergence.

These Persons Here Present by Talavin
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
10 Aug 2026
Tags
Summary
Ilya's father wakes him at four in the morning to tell him that he never had dementia, and that Ilya must leave Russia, right now, permanently. Forty-something hours later Ilya is standing in a township office in rural Ontario, marrying Shane Hollander for citizenship. Everything after that — the lawyer, the joint account, the wills, the drive up to the cottage — was never part of the plan.
Alternatively: In the summer of 2016, Ilya must flee Russia, never to return. Shane makes a brilliant plan: marry Ilya to get him Canadian citizenship. It’s only after the wedding that they realize citizenship law doesn’t really work that way.
Alternatively x 2: My inversion of the “married for citizenship” trope.

Must Be a Goalie Thing by Talavin

Tags
Summary
Shane Hollander is the most sought-after goalie on the market in the 2015 offseason. The Bears are thrilled when they get the steal of the decade by signing him out from under Montreal. It’s even cooler that their captain is so close with Hollander. The two are like, best friends or platonic soulmates or something.
Alternatively: 5 times the Boston Bears should’ve guessed that Hollander and Rozanov were totally gay for each other + 1 time when everyone knew (Except Carmy).

Summary
What would you do in the villain’s place?
An adult consciousness wakes in the body of three-year-old Joffrey Baratheon. He's armed with foreknowledge and a lifetime's worth of experience… and it is not enough. He is still Cersei's son, still Robert's "heir," and still sitting on a secret that could kill him and everyone he loves. And the more he builds to protect himself, the more he has to lose. This is a story about governance and grief, about the cost of necessary choices, and about what it means to love people who have the power to destroy you.
It is also, somewhat accidentally, the tale of how King Joffrey I Baratheon completely revolutionized the Westerosi shipbuilding industry, and with it altered the balance of power across the entire known world.

Daemon the Diplomat by Talavin

05 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
Daemon Targaryen has always been a man of fire. But the man who wakes on Dragonstone's cliffs is not Daemon, not entirely. He carries memories of a war that has not happened yet, a family torn apart by its own blood, and the terrible clarity of knowing exactly which mistakes will kill the people he loves. His only weapon against the future is the one thing the old Daemon never had: patience and diplomacy.

For Want of Izuku's Toe Joint by Talavin

14 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
When he was four years old, the doctor showed Izuku and his mother the x-ray of the boy's foot. Since he only had one joint in his pinky toe, the doctor explained, there was a very high chance his quirk would manifest eventually. Year after year passed without any sign of it though, leaving Izuku to wonder if he could become a hero even without a quirk. Nevertheless, Izuku does possess a subtle, but extremely powerful ability - the kind that could make him the greatest hero of all time.

The (incredibly) awkward courtship rituals of Hatake Kakashi by Talavin for blackkat
Fandoms: Naruto
20 Jun 2017
Tags
Summary
The first time his secret admirer broke into his apartment, Izumo thought it was a threat.
Kotetsu stared at the flowers, then at Izumo, and then back at the flowers, switching his gaze between the two like he couldn't understand which baffled him more.
"So... Let me get this straight: you had me sprint across the entire village, fearing the whole way that you were dead or dying, all because somebody left you flowers?"
Thus began the most awkward courtship in Konoha history.

Summary
Obito's mad plan worked, and Izumo Kamizuki is in the past. Now all he has to do is defeat Akatsuki, prevent Madara from gathering the Tailed Beasts, and ensure that Kaguya never has a chance to enslave the entire world. Izumo thinks this might be somewhat different from the C and B-ranked missions that he's used to.

Love me tender by Talavin

Tags
Summary
Steve is captured by Hydra, who for lack of any other containment options, activate the Winter Soldier and order the man to "take care of Captain America". They really should have been more specific.
-
OR: Taking care of Captain America is a task that the Soldier's body seems to remember how to do, even if he doesn't understand why.

Summary
A day in the life of Hatake Kakashi: teacher to his three cute genin, friend and teammate of Rin, student of Minato, and lover of Obito. It's a damn good life.
This is fluff and happiness and all the things you wish that the characters could have gotten in canon but never did.

Summary
Izumo Kamizuki is a good chunin. If you need someone to guard Konoha’s gates, or take important documents from Tsunade’s office to Shizune, he’s your guy. If you need someone to go back in time to save the world from a Rinne Sharingan-wielding Rabbit Goddess… he’d probably refer you to someone higher up, like Kakashi or Naruto. Regardless, the entire world has gone to hell and apparently he’s the only left to do the job.
OR: Obito isn’t fast enough to save Naruto and Kakashi from Kaguya’s corrosive All-Killing Ash Bones. With Naruto out of the picture, and Sasuke dead moments later, any hope of sealing Kaguya away is gone. Instead he decides to go with plan B. No-name chunin Izumo somehow gets caught in the middle.
