《Snatched》Chapter 1

Okay...all I have to do is breathe and I'll be fine.
...
"Nope, I'm not fine Shoto let's go back,"
You turned on your heel, hair whipping around, and started to speed walk away from the giant H shaped building, only to have your wrist roughly grabbed by your companion.
"You are going to be fine," he stated shortly "Besides, we're in the same class."
"But Sho," you wined as he pulled you towards the building "There are going to be new people and I'll have to start conversations and ask them about their quirks and I'll die"
You stared at the back of your friend's head, his dual colored hair blowing slightly in the breeze, as he blatantly ignored your complaints continuing to drag you forwards.
You muttered under your breath about how you were going to yeet yourself off a building if the first thing you said to someone was 'hey what is your quirk'. It has happened too many times to count.
You freed your wrist catching up to your partner. Glancing to the side you noticed a tiny smirk on his face due to your antics, and the memory of all of he times you had met people and immediately asked about their quirks.
"Jeez Sho, don't laugh at my misery" you feigned being offended and grinned. It's not like the sweet cinnamon roll that is Shoto Todoroki could ever hurt your feelings on purpose.
You actually were pretty excited about attending a new school, especially because it was the number one hero academy in all of Japan. The issue was that you would have to talk to new people which is not your forte.
I know at least four people going into to the hero course so I should be fine friend wise and quirk wise.

Speaking of new people, you were surrounded by students wearing the same UA uniform as you, most of whom you have never met before. The only exception being a girl with a big ponytail whose hair rose above the crowd of people finding their way to their classes.
You let out a shriek in excitement.
"Oh look Sho! It's that one really nice girl I met at the entrance exam!" You exclaimed shaking Shoto's arm."Gasp! She's going the same direction as us! Do you think she is in our class!?"
"What happened to throwing yourself off a bridge if you had to talk to anyone" Shoto
said suppressing a smile at your excitement.
"She doesn't count, she talked to me first and was nice. Also, not a bridge a building! And I said yeet Sho, come on get with the times."
"Even I know that people don't use 'yeet' anymore" Shoto stated blandly.
"Well excuse me for not reaching your 'slang standards'. Next time I will attempt to use more frivolous words" your voice slowly changed to a British accent to accompany your mocking tone.
"Your attempt at an accent is terrible" Shoto remarked, but you could see a hint of a smile playing at his lips.
You smiled evilly thinking of a great way to indulge in one of your hobbies, annoying Shoto.
You put the back of your had to your forehead and draped yourself again the nearest wall.
Shoto stared at you, confusion lacing his normally calm features, "What are you-" you quickly cut him off.
"To insult me in such a way! Who would have thought you could be so rude?!" you wailed faking a posh voice and making the people around you turn to look at the boy standing beside you. You were about to continue your theatrics, but stopped when you noticed a certain grey-eyed female looking towards you. Not wanting to embarrass yourself in front of the friend you only recently made, you quickly brushed yourself off and waved at her from across the hall.

She smiled back and gestured to her wrist as though pointing to a watch, singling that you and your currently extremely annoyed friend should hurry up.
"Come on!" You said grabbing Shoto by the arm completely disregarding the scene you had just made.
You and Shoto made your way to your assigned classroom and stopped in front of the door.
You immediately started to get excited. The idea of becoming a hero in this very room overpowering your nervousness.
You would finally get to become a hero.
"This is going to be awesome! We are going to become heroes and learn how to save people in this room right in front of us! Are you ready Sho-"
He did not just do that.
"You little ass!" you yelled throwing open the door that your so-called friend had just slammed on your face.
"Shoto Todoroki I swear to god I will actually- "
Author's Note
Hey! I'm really excited to be starting a new project! I wanted to start on your first day at UA because I personally get bored reading prologues. You will have flashbacks to before your first day that will explain your past but I thought why not jump right into the action!

Golden Age
In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.

8 302Fort Administrator
Dear Sir, You are invited to be considered for the position of civil administrator at the distant frontier outpost of Fort Amalveor. You may have heard rumours about this region. While it is indeed beyond the borders of the Polity, I can reassure you that it is a very calm and ordered land, sparsely inhabited, and largely untroubled. Should you decide to pursue this opportunity, please write back with the utmost urgency! The position has already been vacant for some time, and a talented administrator is needed with haste. Yours faithfully, Jessaire Sev-ConteneSenior ClerkNorth Hill Waypost Sebastian Lewis has been offered an administrative position at a minor outpost in a relatively obscure frontier territory. It isn't a position he's particularly well qualified for, but it's also not something he can bring himself to pass up. Packing his spare clothes, his outdoor boots, and of course his stationery set, he begins his journey into the unknown. This is a fantasy story with mysery and horror elements, following a protagonist with no special powers.
8 135Naruto Retsuden: Toru
[SI/OC Third Shinobi War]Well fought and well done. All of us fight as one. It took me three years to be able to properly read the faded out kanji of the flimsy poster that I keep in my back pocket. The illustration is colourful, bright reds and yellows. Colours that would definitely catch the attention of a child. The poster was carefully placed along the walls and fences of my village, level with the height of a four year old. I thought enlisting to become a Shinobi was a heroic deed, something I needed to do to save my family from poverty and to serve my country at the cusp of war. Then I graduated early to be deployed to the front lines.I am sadly and sorely mistaken. Warnings:Slow-burnNO OP-NESSRomance? What romance? It'll take at least 40 chapters or more before anything romantic happens.Realistic depictions of War from a child's perspectiveBlood and goreChild SoldiersPTSDRealistic character developmentTragedy. A lot of tragedy. Critiques much appreciated!
