"How are you this consistently awful at calming me down? How come it keeps working?" "Sam has a theory that it stimulates the frustrated mother hen response in you," Steve told the ceiling. "Oh my god, Rogers," Bucky said, laughter taking on a tight note, rubbing his face and pulling his hair back a little more firmly than he might have in other circumstances. "You are a mess." Steve had his eyes closed, but his mouth curled slightly. “Your mess. I don’t know why you put up with me.” “Yes, you do,” Bucky huffed, closing his eyes tightly, and opened them again. Bucky gets amnesia again. Tony tries to fix it. Steve is of no help whatsoever and Natasha is silently judging them all. I laughed out loud more times than I can count while reading this.

Amilyn used to say that there are leaders and there are heroes, and they are rarely the same. But even Amilyn had gotten to go out as a hero in the end. Han, Amilyn, Luke, dozens of others. Leia is the last one left. My turn, Leia thinks, watching Crait shrink in the distance behind them as the last remnants of the Resistance escape to hyperspace; when will it be my turn? Always the leader, never the hero. Always the survivor. Never the one who at last gets to set aside the fight. Hold the line, she tells herself. Just keep holding the line. She always does. ♥Leia♥ GROSS SOBBING.

The Late-Night Time Travelers’ Philosophy Club by [Anonymous]
This is a really great post-s1 story in which Time Team saves each other and, hopefully, the timestream, but which also does a great job with the individual relationships - Lucy and Rufus, Rufus and Wyatt, and of course, Lucy/Wyatt. I enjoyed it a lot.

Excellent post-canon story that really gets the weirdness of Trista's situation, and the knotty dynamics between her and Pen and Triss and Violet. Lovely.

In the mirror, back behind my shoulder, she wasn’t beautiful at all: cobra-lidded eyes, worn lipstick on her mouth. I didn’t care. I was starved for her. I was about to get indelicate. This is exactly what I wanted from the book and didn't get - superhot porn between Gloria and the Girl.

The Things You Build Yourself by [Anonymous]
The Things You Build Yourself by [Anonymous]
“Every good thing I have, I have by the grace and blessing of His Majesty. Is there nothing that I can claim for myself? That I can hold in my hands and know that I’ve rightfully earned? Nothing has changed. The life of a slave is a series of generous bestowals. Even the most diligent, most valuable slave earns nothing. Every sip of wine he takes and every scrap of cloth that he wears are gifts that his master bestows. This house, my position at the temple, my freedom. You, here with me. Eugenides offers me a life full of contentment.” “Kamet, I-” “Suppose he should choose to take it away.” “He won’t,” Costis said. He took Kamet’s hands between both of his, clasping them and leaning in close to whisper. “I’m with you for good.” Lovely post-book Kamet/Costis.

Anakin gets thrown forward in time to just before Ahsoka, Kanan, and Ezra go to Malachor. He doesn't like anything about what he learns, but Ahsoka has to hope he can change things for the better when he goes back. Heartbreaking and hopeful all at once, with a great look at their relationship and why it's so important to both of them.

And that was how Mad Sweeney and Salim found themselves in a place neither of them had ever imagined being: the cosmetics aisle of a Walgreens at 11 PM. Hee! The roadtrip from hell takes an even odder turn.

Rey tries to handle Kylo Ren alone, but Finn, Rose, and Poe (and BB-8!) show her she doesn't have to. Oh heart.
