Summary
Being submerged in a new way of living can be, figuratively, a very stressful time for a sixteen-year-old. New school. New city. New friends.
And a new family, which can be a very fragile subject to handle.
Especially when you are forced to pretend to be someone who is no longer alive; all while looking for your missing twin, learning to keep your uncontrolled powers a secret, and discovering how not to lose your own identity with a body that is very much not your own.
(Y/N) Maximoff did not sign up for family drama. (Y/N) Wayne did not sign up to die young.
Both of them seem to become Death’s favorite tragedy.
Can Maximoff not lose herself in a place designed to see her crash and burn at the stake? Will she be able to find a place to belong? Learn to own up to her situation and even get some peace for the girl who is no longer amongst the living? Get some proper answers in a city full of mystery and secrets?
Thankfully, most of the questions have a positive outcome.
Can she escape from the haunting shadows of a family of obsessive bats?
That may be a lot harder to respond to, as expected.

Summary
UA has a rule—no quirkless students. It was added years ago, after much hemming and hawing about safety concerns and lessening blame in the inevitable circumstance of death. There's no real reason to remove it, not as the percentage of quirkless people plummets further and further.
Of course, this rule doesn't actually matter to Izuku, because he's got an analysis quirk.
As far as anyone knows.
The Plan is simple: have a quirk, become a hero, and avoid anyone who could disprove those first two things.
In hindsight, UA isn't a great choice. And that's before the villains.

Summary
What unites Muggleborns, Purebloods, and Half-bloods? Their hatred of the traitorous Lily Evans. Blood-purists hate her for the murder of her Pureblood husband. Muggle lovers hate her for the betrayal of the Longbottoms to He-who-must-not-be-named and the murder of one of their own. Now her daughter returns to the Wizarding World, and it remains to be seen how one decision can change a story.

Summary
“How can we help?” asked Harry. “What can we do to clear Sirius’ name?”
Uncle Regulus’ eyes flashed. “You do nothing, Harry,” he insisted. “Given the presence of the Dementors at Hogwarts this year, the last thing your mother and I need is for you to needlessly endanger yourself trying to prove Sirius’ innocence. We need you and Mr Ronald and Miss Granger to stay safe at Hogwarts this year. Can you do that for us?”
Harry and Ron exchanged a glance. It wasn’t as if they went out of their way to look for trouble; trouble just seemed to have an uncanny way of finding them. Still, with Uncle Regulus staring flintily at them from across the table, all the two of them could do was nod.
“We’ll be safe,” said Ron.
“And, whatever happens, you’re not to go looking for Sirius,” insisted Uncle Regulus.
“We won’t,” agreed Harry, “just as long as he isn’t looking for us.”
When the untimely escape of his godfather from Azkaban coincides with a mysterious plot against his Aunt Sevvy, Lord Harry of the Honourable and Most Ancient House of Potter realises that ‘guilty’ in the Wizarding world is relative, and innocence itself has a steep price.

Summary
Fudge doesn’t try to ignore Voldemort’s return at the end of the 4th Year. Instead, influenced by Malfoy, he tries to appease the Dark Lord. Many think that the rights of the muggleborns are a small price to pay to avoid a bloody war. Hermione Granger and the other muggleborns disagree. Vehemently.
