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.

Another conversation between Om and Brutha, set after the book has ended, but it sounds like it could easily have been another chapter.

This is amazing and hilarious and so, so in character and this is where I totally lost it and laughed so loud I scared the neighbors: He's pulled on a black silk negligee over his Impulse suit; it is twisted up around his waist and he paws at it irritatedly. The effect is something like 'explosion at the costume store' or 'highly inappropriate middle-school production of Cabaret'. Kon can't stop laughing. "You look like Skeletor!" Plus, it has a Beastie Boys title!

A 10,000(!!!) word Middleman/Wendy story (for me!) riffing on The Thing (among other things!) in hilarious and heartfelt fashion, just like the show! Except with more cuddling for warmth!

A sweet and warm story where Miles's parents find out he is Spider-Man. This is pretty much exactly what I wanted from the prompt I left, and it made my heart happy to read it!

Fozzie Bear thinks that perhaps his jokes need to keep up with the times, but Kermit has reservations. this is delightful!

Sister Michael helps Orla out. This reads like it was lifted from an episode.

Bruce invites his kids home for the holidays. Oh heart.

my recipient’s post re: their gifts

"I don't want to lose you guys," Poe says quietly. Wonderful OT3 coda to TRoS.

Finn has conversations with Rey and Poe after the events of the movie. A perfect coda to TRoS. #I'm not crying, it's just raining on my face.

5 times that Steve & Bucky were nothing like how anyone expected them to be + 1 time that someone was absolutely done with their shit. This is adorable.

A warm and comforting coda for Rise of Skywalker.

In which Steve hunts monsters, becomes a deputy, makes a will, and finds a family. Among other things. Melancholy but sweet look at Steve post season 2.

Cass and Damian have only each other to depend on while on the run from villains.

AU where Jason doesn't stay with Bruce at first - he has someone else he has to take care of. Oh heart.
