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.

Damian was a good friend and a good guy, even if he was also kind of a jerk. Having gotten his way, Damian returned to that sweeping magnanimity that said he was feeling very pleased with himself. He rolled his chair over so he could lean into Colin’s space and whisper, “I’m going to be Batman next week.” Aw boys.

Damian rescues Tim when they're both caught in a frozen death trap. Aw boys.

Red Robin's gone missing and Poison Ivy is up to something big, so armed with the power of bluster, Batgirl, and snap decisionmaking, Stephanie Brown is on the case! Her and every other vigilante in Gotham. this is a fun adventure with Steph!

Baby Yoda's ridin' dirty!!!!!!

"See, Tim?" Jason called over his shoulder sardonically. "Dad agrees with me." He turned back to his food for a moment before the thought suddenly occurred to him that the Cave had gone near silent. He cautiously glanced back at the others. Alfred was still working away at stitching Tim up. Tim looked a little pale and sweaty, but he was glancing over at Jason with a look that was a mixture of concern and confusion. Bruce was standing stock-still, seemingly staring off into space. Some times Jason calls Bruce "Dad" and how Bruce responds. Oh heart.

"It's a draw," she pants, sitting up. Their sparring matches almost always are these days. "Boring." "Do you have any better ideas?" Her twitchy, feral energy is starting to make Din itch, like boredom might be contagious. He knows he's made a tactical error when she grins at him. "Let's fuck." I enjoyed this a lot.

It's 1944, and in a particular US Army base in Holland, there's a very special USO performance. Steve recognizes something of himself in Don, Cosmo and Cathy's relationship. Oh Steve.

Two times Dick helps Jason. oh heart.

A cat adopts Jason. It helps. Oh Jay.

Sequel to Balance Point (previously recced). Ahsoka visits Obi-Wan and tells him about what happened with Vader. This is melancholy and lovely.

Lovely post-TRoS story featuring Zorii joining the Resistance and falling for Rose.

This is a lovely SW/AtLA fusion.

Cute tag to TRoS.

Having traveled back in time, Rey and Finn have decided to set right what once went wrong. Too bad they have no idea what actually once went wrong. this is adorable.

Lovely coda to TRoS.

Very hot post-TRoS Finn/Rey/Poe.
