Fics featuring characters willing to do what needs doing (or just what they believe needs doing) even if its immoral/unconventional. Or just characters who are amoral.
Ruthless (FF / AO3) - "James Potter casts his own spell to protect his only son; but he was never as good with Charms as Lily was. (A more ruthless Harry Potter grows up to confront Voldemort)."
The First Flower of Spring (FF) - "Because every ninja comes from somewhere. Lacking a presence in any ninja village, the Haruno are a clan just the same. Beholden to the traditions of her family, Sakura is changed, as are Team Seven's dynamics."
Revelations (AO3) - "Magnus Bane has been taken. Alec Lightwood is not merciful in his quest to take him back."
A Darker Path (SB) - "When Abbadon passed by all those years before, he left behind a present. Instead of Queen Administrator, Taylor Hebert is now host to another shard altogether. And everyone who ever wronged her is in deep trouble."
Business (AO3) - "The Dursleys didn't raise Harry Potter to be a very good boy."
Bonus: Compulsion (SB) - "Dr. Alex Mercer wakes up having gained powers but lost his memory, and is thrust into a world where heroes and villains are a deadly reality. Aspiring superhero Taylor Hebert mistakes Alex for a Case 53 and tries to help, but hides the fact that she can control his hive-mind of wormlike tendrils, just as he hides that he has become a cannibal. Their game of secrets will change everything."
Rating: General (should probably be Teen+ for violence)
Summary: Malec Whumptober 2019 collection.
Review: A series of very powerful and emotional one-shots focussing on Alec and Magnus - mostly hurt/comfort, with a lot of angst. I think this author is very deft with their depiction of a range of traumas and includes a lot of beautiful partner support.
All yall saying Tommy calling Buck Evan is disrespectful and like malicious clearly don’t remember my man, fellow bi icon Magnus Bane calling his pookie Alec Lightwood, Alexander at any given moment despite no one calling him Alexander except his parents who also suck like my man was gone on that shadowhunter and so is Tommy!!!
