The Unitary
My personal collection of works that I feel uphold a higher quality of writing.
May or may not review them, may or may not reread them, but I’m always open to recommendations from anyone. Be aware the content of Bookmarks and Works are different, though there might be some overlap.
Will keep out any explicitly... explicit material such as porn with no plot content as those are mostly just for personal dirty pleasures, regardless of how well the porn or characters are written. That doesn’t bar explicit works from being added if it is minor or can be skipped to viewer’s discretion.

Of Bias and Bravery by Mintoki

Summary
"It’s not that his peers are inherently cruel to the Quirkless. Izuku firmly believes that, if the truth ever got out to his classmates, they would still welcome him with open arms. At the same time though, acceptance does not necessarily mean they are well-informed on the subject. His classmates might be well-intentioned, but sometimes the words that come out of their mouths cut deeper than even he could have ever expected."
OR
In which Izuku possesses the words and knowledge to try and correct his classmate's misguided beliefs concerning Quirkless people, but actually communicating them is another challenge altogether.

Dance of the Red Death by Strange and Intoxicating -rsa- (strangeandintoxicating)
Fandoms: Yuri!!! on Ice (Anime)

Summary
Find something to live for.
Viktor Nikiforov loved too much. What begins as a cough morphs into something that takes the shape of an unseen monster hiding in his very blood. With the Russian government scrambling to sweep under the rug the worst of a crisis that's been thirty-five years in the making and a society that sees his disease as a death sentence, Viktor is left with figuring out his own way to survive.
It starts as a way to escape— a youtube video of music and color and light, but quickly becomes something he never expected when Yuri Katsuki teaches him that surviving is not living. Yuri teaches him that living is taking the jump into unknown and accepting all that comes with it.
This is not a story of anger. This is not a story of fear. This is not even a story of pain.
This is a 21st Century love overcoming the obstacles of the 20th Century's politics of fear.
This is a story of life.

Bookmarker's Notes
I can truly say I’ve never forgotten this fic, even years after not having read anything from the YOI fandom. This has left a lasting impact on me as a reader and writer, especially with how viscerally real everything feels.
Definitely one of the better works I’ve read in my life. 9.3/10 -
Summary
Stories built off of the first fic, the Hermit of Dragonspine, where I get to dump all my family feels for Kaeya, Klee and Albedo with excessively heavy head cannon on Khaenri’ah, Corruption, and those who live very long lives.
I want there to be lots of fluff and feels, but that means expect plenty of the opposite.
This fic series is AU and very canon divergent!!!!! I am aware now Kaeya isn’t from the original royal line, about the Alberich clan, etc, but can’t really change that now without completely overhauling the entire series.

Very cute little collection of works that follow a very interesting what-if scenario. Definitely sticking around to see where it goes and what it plays with in regards to lore.
