Michael, through the various reboots, growing to appreciate Eleanor. Nicely done.

AU where Tahani accepts Eleanor's offer to share her motel room, AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES. Lovely slow burn - hot, sweet, and in character.

Judge Gen has her performance review. This is both funny and spot-on for ridiculous performance eval jargon, and the ending is perfect.

It’s always like that with Lou. It’s always been like that with her. Like an old sleight of hand trick that you’ve practiced a thousand times, that you know down to the core, that you could play in your sleep because you’ve made it your own. After while your body goes ‘oh, I know how this song goes’ and it takes over, and suddenly it’s five years after the last time you’ve tried playing the trick but you find out as soon as you do that it doesn’t matter. And it really doesn’t. Lovely post-heist Debbie/Lou.

Bad Janet wants a makeover, and finds a way to get Good Janet to help. This does exactly what the show does - takes a simple premise and then deepens it unexpectedly. I actually felt bad for Bad Janet!

Nice look at Irene on her second wedding day.

Jefferson Davis realizes that Spider-Man is a child, and is determined to put an end to his recklessness. Miles disapproves.

It seems the multiverse isn't done with the Spider-people yet. I'm enjoying this series in which they drop by when needed and help Miles acclimate.

“Peter,” May said, jabbing her index finger into the center of his chest. “Liv and I are getting married. That is the end of the story.” “She is my archnemesis!” Peter said, throwing his hands up in the air. “Well,” May said, turning away from him. “That’s just something you’ll both have to work on. I’m going to go do the laundry now.” “ARCHNEMESIS,” Peter shouted at her retreating back. Ahahaha! I'm so glad this exists, because come on! We were all thinking it.

Miles has never really been one for introspection, but his sudden, involuntary retreat into camo-mode is nearly a flashing neon sign that screams “HIDING FROM MY FEARS, DON’T @ ME”. It’s a little ironic, that becoming invisible makes his insecurities so glaringly obvious. Miles, working himself up to that leap of faith.

Lovely look at Bail and Breha's wedding. #organa family feels

Bail and Breha get snowed in at a remote mountain cabin. How ever will they keep warm?

Titles and ranks are important, he cries. Names are important. What Rey - hero of the Resistance, restorer of good in the galaxy, bringer of balance - calls herself is important. Rey is a Jedi - the Jedi - and it means something. Rey still isn’t sure, but she trusts Finn. Warm and lovely post-sequel trilogy snapshot of Rey, doing Jedi things.

Long, satisfying Steph/Cass slow burn featuring mutual oblivious pining, fake dating, AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES, plus Steph gets to yell at Bruce and you know how much I love that.

Princess Leia. Carrie Fisher. She's a symbol of Resistance. #i'm not crying you're crying

Obi-Wan and the Larses go to Dagobah to escape bounty hunters. Luke insists he needs a holocom to call his friends. Some wires get crossed, and hilarity ensues.

The Tor.com office’s favorite thing on the Internet today is this brilliant chart from Twitter user @crunchleaf a.k.a. Alex, one half of the Hamsteak Podcast. Combining Chekhov’s gun, P…

After the Battle of New York, Steve finds himself stopping in Stars Hollow, and oddly reluctant to leave. This is so delightful!

Chanukah in the SSR. Oh my heart.

set in the Tano & Kenobi AU, so if you're not familiar with that, this won't make a lot of sense, but if you are, this is adorable - Obi-Wan gets turned into a cat while Ahsoka is away and Anakin tries to deal with it.

Bucky takes Frank home to celebrate Hanukkah. This is so great. I'm not crying, it's just raining on my face.

Could I have waited another week to add more to the pile of fics I want to yell about and shove at everyone?  Of course I could have!  STAR WARS is a fandom that has SO MUCH GOOD FIC that I could...

Some personal letters from Steve and Bucky are found within Colonel Phillips' papers. Oh heart.

Rose and Rey meet and form a mutual admiration society. Oh my heart. And the remix: https://archiveofourown.org/works/16083815 Nobodies by .

Aunt Beru joins the Rebellion with Luke.

A brief adorable bit of downtime for Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Anakin.

Ahsoka comes back to a different universe upon exiting the World between Worlds, a universe where Anakin didn't fall. Lovely.

“Er,” Falsworth says. “Jesus fucking fuck,” Dugan says, better encapsulating the group’s reaction at large. “This is the best mission we’ve ever had,” Bucky says, as the one and only outlier. He has never sounded so delighted to be surrounded. “I really don’t . . . think . . . um,” Steve trails off uselessly, just staring at him. And the . . . and the children. The very small and annoyed-looking children who are clustered up like ducklings around Bucky’s everywhere, more or less. The Howling Commandos rescue some tiny Steve clones from Hydra. Bucky is thrilled, even if no one else is. Hilarious and sweet.
