Another adorable story where Dudley's kids get Hogwarts letters which leads to some rapprochement with Harry.

Dudley always worried about having to have the talk with his boys. No, not that talk, the other one. The one about the 'm' word. This is adorable.

Rex tells Luke some stories about his father. Oh heart.

All this has happened before. Hera wakes up on a Cylon ship, before the Twelve Colonies are attacked. This is sharp and fascinating. Cylons are kind of perfect for Groundhog Day stories, now that I think about it.

Dick has been teaching kickboxing in Bludhaven. Jason comes by to see what all the fuss is about. Oh heart.

Jason has a panic attack. Cass tries to help. Oh heart. #siblings!

“The only thing you can do,” he said, tilting her head so he could see her eyes, “is the best you can do. If you wake up, every day, and try to be better than you were the day before, I will be happy. You don’t have to succeed. We don’t always succeed.” Cass has a nightmare. Bruce tries to help. #GROSS SOBBING

Lovely post-war Legolas/Gimli.

Erik gets a do-over. Erik gets a lot of do-overs. Or: Erik Killmonger's own personal version of Groundhog Day, only with a lot more murder, dying, trips to the ancestral plane, awkward family conversations, and divine intervention. This is unutterably brilliant. Truly a spectacular read. highly highly recommended.

Very hot Dick/Jason. #hoods and birds

Despite the no kill rule, sometimes accidents happen and Jason gets an unexpected visitor in the middle of the night and has to take control of a situation he wasn't expecting. Oh boys.

Bucky figures out how to get Natasha back. Oh my heart. This is wonderful.

Super fun Fred & Ginger vid.

This is a wonderful character vid for Zeph.

Joyful vid about Pree and the Royale being heart and home to everyone in Old Town.

Highly enjoyable vid about FANCY LEE.

Absolutely stunning Aneela/Delle Seyah Kendry vid to an amazingly apt song.

this is an adorable Ned/Chuck vid.

He had met one or two women like Leia Organa, mostly at the head of small armies, and though she was the very same age as Luke down to the day she had all the political smarts he lacked and had appointed herself his protector. Nobody got to meet with Luke Skywalker without very soon afterwards receiving a visit from Princess Leia, including members of Alliance High Command. Baze would have approved of her for that alone, that and the continuing visits to Cassian’s bedside, but he liked her courage as well as her smarts. He’d received a lot of thanks for his actions on Scarif by the time she dropped by, some of them more genuine than others, but this tiny princess gripped his hands like steel and said it and meant it. While Chirrut gives Luke some basic grounding in the Force, Baze acts as Leia's friend and spiritual advisor. This is really great.

Chrisjen and Bobbie: queen and lionheart.

The Roci as home, the crew as family, and the connections they make to others.

CJ is not impressed.

Don't quit before the miracle happens. This captures all the love and joy of the show.

Really fun Babs/Dinah vid. #otp: cal me barbara

Rey, Finn, and Poe figure some stuff out in the year between Crait and Ajun Kloss. Lovely.

Miles & Gwen, doing their thing. THIS IS SO GREAT. #precious spiderbabies

Bart, training for his mission to the past (animated YJ).

Jim didn’t know it, until Maggie barged in, opening his door with such force that it bounced off the wall and broke a glass panel. Whatever he’d wanted object was lost the moment she said, “Somebody killed the Joker.” His first thought was that he expected her to tell him the city was melting down, not to give good news. His second was, ‘Is the killer worse than Joker?’ Outsider (Jim Gordon) POV on an AU where Jason kills the Joker under very difficult circumstances. Oh Jay.
