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).

Damian watches over Bruce after he's injured.

Released February 1 2016

Dick finds out that Damian cut Tim's line and they all have some very necessary conversations.

Sweet, hot, mildly angsty Dick/Jason with some breathplay thrown in. (some minor typos)

Tim's life takes a different turn, so he doesn't get involved in Bat-business until a few years later, but he does get involved. I enjoyed this.

Due to fear toxin, Jason gets to see Bruce relive the moments after his death. It's not as satisfying as he thought it'd be. Ouch.

When Steve goes back to see Peggy, things don't go exactly as he planned. This is a lot of fun.

“You know how when you’re little, people make you feel like you’ve been chosen for something great? And then one day it’s like it all vanished when you weren’t looking. Like you’ve disappointed them, somehow.” Nine years after almost causing the end of the world, Adam is working backstage in university theatre when he meets a high-strung, melodramatic, manipulative American director who happens to share his birthday. this is adorable.

Post-RotJ Leia gets sent back in time to Shmi Skywalker just before the Clone Wars start. This is a lot of fun and also has some lovely moments for Leia and Shmi and Padme.

“You got my name from Barton—you a friend of his?” She was glad to know that Barton had kept his word and used her most recent alias. “Live in his building.” Rosa nodded—he was the only Avenger who lived in Brooklyn besides Captain America, and the only one she’d ever met when she fixed up his purple Barracuda. It made her feel bad, sometimes, that she’d never told Jake about that, since he got so stupid about the Avengers all the time, but then the second of guilt would pass. Adorable crossover where Bucky and Rosa strike up an acquaintance.

Death walked into Stupid Nick's Wing Dump in Gainesville, Florida, but Jason Mendoza was running late. This is so much fun!

Harry and Luna write to each other while she travels the world. Lovely.

A really fun Musketeers vid. There was so much handsome on this show, honestly.

Great ensemble vid!

Really sweet ot3 first time fic.

Charming Harry/Draco AU.

This is a really lovely duology featuring two weddings involving hte Leverage crew. Oh heart.

When she visits Diagon Alley, Hermione hates that the first thing the shop clerk in the apothecary tries to sell her is a potion to “tame her hair.” She likes her hair the way it is, curls and frizz, heavy around her shoulders. She thought the wizarding world would be different. Oh Hermione.

Bucky gets zapped to an alternate dimension where there never was a Captain America. He does find a Steve, though, who helps get him back home.
