Thoughtful, melancholy series that looks at Damian and his relationships with various Batfamily members - Cass, Jason, and Kate in particular.

Leia carries many ghosts with her, but Padme's was the first. This is achingly lovely (but could use another editing pass).

Poe gets the chance to fix his mistakes and he takes it. Oh heart.

Phil Holland shot some aerial footage of NYC that he stitched together into a video with a resolution of 12K. That's a 100-megapixel image, folks, "48.5 times the resolution of HD 1080p". Holland has a writeu

Batfamily conspiracy theories meet social media. Oh heart.

GROSS SOBBING

AU where Vader survived at the end of RotJ, and years later (post-TLJ), Leia reluctantly comes to him for help fighting the First Order. Fascinating and heartbreaking.

Lovely look at Leia over the years (pre-movies). I especially love how this highlights her relationship with Breha.

Steve travels to the underworld to bring everybody back. Oh Steve.

Rey, Finn, and Poe find their way forward together after TLJ.

The kids undertake a mission to rescue General Organa from the First Order. This is a rollicking good time.

Peter Parker's POV of IW. (Spoilers, obv.) Oh my heart. *sobs* #precious spiderbabies

the Avengers regroup and plan to defeat Thanos. Oh Thor. Oh Steve. (IW spoilers)

Lovely post-IW fix-it for Steve and Bucky.

Tony and Nebula have to work together to return to earth (from Tony's POV this time).

Tony and Nebula have to work together. (IW Spoilers) Oh heart.

"Boys always wanna talk about their feelings," Natasha mumbles, and then she curls around a pillow at the other end of the massive bed and goes to sleep. GROSS SOBBING. (IW spoilers!)

In which Valkyrie saves the universe. (IW spoilers)

Bucky sighed. He knew this was all bullshit anyway. He’d always choose to be Bucky Barnes, every time he could chose. If he wasn’t Bucky, then who would Steve look for when he came looking? He’d stayed for Steve for this long, he might as well continue with it. Oh Bucky. *sobs* (Infinity War spoilers)

Brief but powerful tag for Infinity War. Spoilers obv.

In which Bobbie learns to swim.

A series of three stories detailing the slow progression of Grace and Frankie's relationship over the series (pre-s4). Lovely and achy.

Bucky pines for Steve over the long years. *sobs*

Lando doesn't think much of Luke when they first meet.

I've previously recommended the other stories in this series (and the series as a whole) but this one is done now - it features a lot of spying and Mandalorians, if that is your thing, and some matters start coming to a head.

All four of the batbros get de-aged and have to work together to deal with the consequences. Adorable.

Jason winds up traveling back in time to just when (his version of) Red Hood started showing up in Gotham. He tries to change things for the better and things rapidly spiral beyond his control. Oh Jason. (could use another beta pass)
