“Quickly. Up,” the man at Joe’s side says, lifting beneath Joe’s elbow, and Joe doesn’t know him but somehow he thinks, I’d follow you anywhere, and then he gets up and he does. Or: the one where Joe has amnesia but he and Nicky are still devoted husbands. This is achingly lovely.

Sweet story of Nakia and T'Challa's wedding day. This is just darling.

Harry from an alternate universe where there was no second war with Voldemort gets sent to the canon universe and finds everything really weird, though not as weird as Hermione and Draco find him. This is really fun (though I was kind of hoping for Harry/Luna at the end there...)

Bucky twists in his arms and looks up. He’s beautiful, illuminated only by the streetlights coming through the window. “You...really don’t give a fuck,” Bucky says, his voice all wonder. “Who doesn’t have a past?” Steve tells him. Steve will remember this, too: the moment when the light finds Bucky’s eyes. This time, Steve kisses Bucky goodnight before they go to sleep — just a small kiss, sweet and tender, passing like a prelude, like a promise. This is a really beautifully written (comics) AU, and also NAMOR is GREAT.

Really lovely slice of life with Nile spending some downtime with Joe and Nicky.

Penthe and Arha share a stolen moment, along with some stolen food. This is really lovely, and as always, I hope Penthe escaped the Place when it collapsed.

Artoo tries not to think about what happened to Anakin, but sometimes he can't help it. Oh my heart.

Andromache tells him: "The Greeks used to have seven different words for love. Well. More, probably. But I remember seven." She shrugs. "There are many ways to love one another, and life is long. We've time enough for them all. It's the only thing that makes it worthwhile." Nicky and his immortal family, over the centuries. Lovely.

Jason helps Alfred make dumplings. This is adorable.

Jason has an anxiety attack but Alfred helps. Oh my heart.

Cass and Jason talk books while Jason is injured.

In the moment before their deaths, Mary and John Grayson are pulled forward in time to meet their son's adoptive family. Oh my heart.

Andy takes a night to rest. Lovely.

Super hot Hardison/Parker/Eliot.

Excellent look at Padme during the end of RotS.

Lovely look at Nile settling in with Joe and Nicky and Andy.

Steve and Bucky during the pre-war years, through Steve's artist's eyes. Achingly lovely.

This is a really lovely AU where ANakin doesn't fall and the Empire doesn't form, but both he and Ahsoka are at loose ends after the wary, and they meet up again several years later, and their relationship changes.

Padmé is crowned Queen Amidala, and sits in meditation in the sacred waters of Ma-Urru. There, she hears a woman's voice speaking to her. That's strange enough. Even stranger, the voice sounds like it might be her own. I enjoyed this look at Padme beginning to make changes for the better when she's sent back into her own timeline.

Ahsoka crash lands on Tatooine and runs into an old friend. Lovely.

Jeff works on his relationship with Miles, and eventually, the truth comes out. Oh my heart.

Slightly AU for Crossroads of Destiny - instead of Aang and Iroh, it's Azula who interrupts Katara and Zuko's conversation, and things go a little differently. This is lovely, with some quality Zuko pining.

AU where Thor gives Bucky the time stone and he uses it to rescue baby Thor, baby Loki, and baby Hela from Odin's parenting. Sweet and hilarious.

This duology is a nice entry into the "Hakoda parents Zuko" genre.

This is a lovely tag to the Boiling Rock, in which Zuko and Hakoda have a conversation about fathers and honor. Oh heart.

Damian and Jason find an injured puppy on patrol. Oh heart.

When Tim accidentally kills a man in self-defense, he goes to Jason for help. This is a meditative look at the Batfamily, and at Bruce and how he's still learning to handle his kids.

Tim embarks on a project requiring him to hire a ninja intern. Jason finds this extremely worrisome (and even more so when Bruce doesn't). This is hilarious (if slightly OOC for Bruce).
