Jack helps Phryne out with her period cramps. Quiet and clever and suffused with tenderness. Lovely!

Ravi quietly pines for Liv and plans for the future. Oh Ravi. He is the best, no lie.

Leia Organa, the politician and revolutionary who led the defeat of the Galactic Empire, died after a short illness. She was 60 years old. Hers was a life laced with controversy concerning everything from her tactics to her very ancestry, but her intelligence, commitment to the Republican cause, and place at the heart of the Rebellion, and later the Resistance against Neo-Imperialism, remains the indisputable core of her legacy.

Jonathan has no fucking idea why Nancy and Steve gave him the Nikon. He doesn't know why they're so insistent on seeing the pictures he takes, either. Lovely.

Granny Weatherwax meets Granny Aching. Lovely.

They've learned over the last year and some to give Patty the lead when there's some sort of historical grudge at play. Your everyday jealousies, revenge killings, souls with unfinished business, and random demons they're all good at dealing with, but there's something about the long-gone that only Patty can handle. ♥PATTY♥

Ridiculously hot Nick/Cassie.

Vetch and Yarrow have a brief yet amazing adventure. This was so wonderful.

In which Miss Marple is an avatar of Nemesis, and the genius loci of St. Mary Mead. So clever!

Five ways Liv Moore and Ravi Chakrabarti could have met and one way they met for a second time. Liv and Ravi have great chemistry and end up together in all sorts of alternate universes. Delightful!

Inej and Kaz have an adventure at sea. I enjoyed this a lot.

You climb up, but if you fall, the Barrel will be waiting. The Barrel was there to break you. She had been bound to the ground for three weeks following, nursing a limp that looked like a mummer’s mockery of Kaz’s. She did stretches in her small room, all but climbed the walls. It wasn’t fear that she had felt, being trapped in the Slat, the Barrel, the Dregs (with Kaz), but a restlessness. A hum that settled in her bones, electric and pulsing, that made her fingers and her toes twitch. This is what she learned, trapped: never let a thing break you here. Never let a thing hold you down and keep you. Inej returns to Ketterdam. Sharp and melancholy.

Lovely look at Chava and Ahmed over the years, after the end of the book.

"Maybe we need a break," Rusty said, his voice muffled by the pillow. "I had one. Eighteen months in the federal pen," Danny answered. "That's not a break, that's appropriate sanctions." Rusty cracked open an eye and peered at him. "When I wake up, we are getting a map. And then we're taking a drive."

Danny and Rusty. Their names are always said together and Rusty knows that's how it'll always be. They're partners. Not in the way he wants, and he feels bad for wanting more, wanting what Danny can't give. It doesn't change the way Rusty feels, but the way he feels doesn't change the way things are, either. Apparently Rusty's not as good at reading Danny as he thought. Danny and Rusty through the years.

Lovely story in which Inej reunites with the people she loves upon returning to Ketterdeam. ♥

A smooth, polished floor is an invitation for kids - of all ages. Guleed reflects on poshness and makes friends whilst waiting for her colleagues. Yay Guleed!

"Bodhi dies. This is what happens afterwards. Or: Bodhi becomes the patron saint of the Resistance."

AU in which Leia is undercover as an Imperial officer, and Han is her Alliance contact. Lovely.

Bucky's good with dogs. Oh heart.

Beautiful melancholy Baze/Chirrut.

Dick gets into some trouble and Jason comes to the rescue. Aw batboys.

Bodhi and Jyn mourn Galen together. Oh my heart.

Leia teases a hungover Han. Adorable.

Adorable Peggy/Steve Hallmark Christmas movie AU. Oh heart.

Alicia first meets Bad Bob Zimmermann during a kidnapping. Adorable and hilarious!

Wedge wants to make sure the crew of Rogue One is remembered.

The crew of Rogue One, in their own words. *sobs*

Because Vader's lot isn't miserable enough. Even he knows he deserves it.

A missing but necessary conversation between Jyn Erso and Mon Mothma.
