Baby Boom (115654 words) by ShawnaCanon
Chapters: 44/?
Fandom: Miraculous Ladybug
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Rape/Non-Con, Underage
Relationships: Adrien Agreste | Chat Noir/Marinette Dupain-Cheng | Ladybug, Alya Césaire/Nino Lahiffe

Additional Tags: Pregnancy, Teen Pregnancy, Forced Pregnancy, Other Ships Not Mentioned in Tags, Mind Control Aftermath & Recovery, Angst, All Ships Are Het, Rare Pairings, Time Travel, Children, Miraculous Team, Temporary Miraculous Holders
Summary:

Hawk Moth makes another poor akumatization decision, giving a supervillain the power to force others to make babies. He doesn’t expect it to affect himself or his son—but it does.

Things between Marinette and Adrien get incredibly awkward after The Incident, but at least they’re not alone. Half their class is in the same boat.

And just when everyone starts to be able to move on from that, they discover the ‘baby-making’ thing wasn’t just a euphemism. Babies are on the way. No one’s ready for it, but it’s happening, and they’re all gonna do their best to deal with it.

Will this be the thing that finally gets Adrien to fall in love with Marinette? Or will Cat Noir’s insistence that he loves Ladybug and doesn’t care if she’s having some other guy’s baby be enough to win her over?

[all the rape that's described onscreen is in the first chapter; rather more is stated in later chapters to have occurred; because of the nature of the mind control magic in play, there is exactly one perpetrator, who is also among the victims. (and who is played too sympathetically to my mind, but that is in character for all the characters involved; the characters who know he is the perpetrator total himself and one other person, both of whom canonically consider him the hero of the story.) also an author's note says abortion doesn't exist; I'm pretending that means the nature of the magic in play means people tried, it didn't work, and nobody wants to talk about it.]

Embers (704200 words) by Vathara
Chapters: 91/91
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Zuko (Avatar), Iroh (Avatar), Aang (Avatar), Toph Beifong, Sokka (Avatar), Katara (Avatar), Azula (Avatar), Amaya, Yue (Avatar), Meixiang, Huojin, Jinhai, suyin, Jia, Min, Tingzhe, the more show up the more are added, Shirong, Long Feng, Kuei (Avatar), Bosco (Avatar), Jet (Avatar)
Additional Tags: Adventure, Family, NOT MY OWN STORY, Property of Vathara, I am bad with tags, dealing with spirits, Some angst, Some politics, a bit of character study, much more realistic in its ways than the actual show, Don't copy to another site
Summary:

Dragon's fire is not so easily extinguished; when Zuko rediscovers a lost firebending technique, shifting flames can shift the world…

[I can accept the argument that no archive warnings apply, because nobody important who we like dies, rape is entirely discussed as a backstory element or a potential threat rather than in the present tense, the horrors of war could be described much more graphically, and Uncle Iroh and an OFC of similar age are probably the only characters having sex. but I'd choose not to warn, personally. this has a 600-word prequel, "Theft Absolute"; start there.]

Summary:

Soldiering is soldiering, even when you're using a gun rather than a sword. And they're underestimating you because of your age. (post-PC)

[seven-part series. the violence is not graphic and the deaths are nameless but these elements are present intensely enough to disturb other characters.]
