Very hot post-TRoS Finn/Rey/Poe.

Everyone thinks Iroh is Zuko's father. Oh heart.

Bruce corrals his sick and injured kids. This is really soft and warm.

The Boy Wonders share Christmas memories. Oh heart.

An AMAZING and DELIGHTFUL mashup of Persuasion with superhero tropes.

Costis comes back to Attolia to guard the king, but things do not go smoothly. Oh Costis.

Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you. Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there. The rest of the series is still in progress, but I enjoyed this AU where Jason lives and Tim joins the family in a different way.

Clint and Kate have to break into the Ministry of Magic to retrieve some Chitauri tech. Things don't go to plan. This is a lot of fun.

Soft and lovely coda to TRoS.

Dick and Bruce have a conversation about bisexuality. This is really lovely.

An absolutely wonderful follow-up adventure for Claudia and Jamie, perfectly voiced.

Engrossing casefile that does a great job with Peter's narrative voice.

This is a wonderfully in character meditation on the Perfect Day (or nearly so) by Eeyore.

Inej, holding his hand. Inej, smiling at him with blood on her hands. All of that open trust that Kaz would be fighting to deserve for the rest of his miserable life. It was the only debt he'd ever incurred that he didn't feel afraid of. Kaz allows himself a little bit of hope after the end of Crooked Kingdom. Lovely.

Great, sharp look at Drummer during her recovery.

Lovely, bittersweet look at Drummer between seasons 3 and 4.

A really thoughtful look at Fancy Lee post-series.

This is a fun post-movie story involving an enraged goddess and a wedding.

Nightingale's POV during Peter's kidnapping. Nicely done.

Amita comes back to New York and is resolutely not up for another heist. This is really good at capturing the breezy tone of the movie and everyone's characters in brief sketches.

This is hilarious and amazingly in character.

A really nicely done modern AU love story for Evie and Sebastian.

Really lovely - and hot - scene between Naomi and Drummer.

Finn finally gets to tell Rey what he's been meaning to tell her. Lovely coda to TRoS.

It was the Feegles that found it. They had a gift for finding lost things; in fact, they were so good at it they could find them before they were actually lost, sometimes bypassing several fences and locked doors on the way. Tiffany was fairly sure this one hadn't been stolen from a rightful owner, at least. You couldn't own people. If it qualified as people. This reads like a lost chapter from one of the Tiffany Aching books.

This is a really great look at Bobbie's relationship with Avasarala.

Alfred joins Babs on a stakeout. This is really lovely.

"So," Jefferson starts. "Dad, I swear, I didn't mean to cut Art Club every day this week, it's just—" "That you're the new Spiderman?" Jefferson says, and oh, damn, that was not the way he wanted to lead into this. This is very sweet and very in character.

Another spot-on Derry Girls story from Sister Michael's POV. Plus some perfect 90s-specific details.

A lovely slice of life for Tenar, Ged, and Tehanu.
