The Barry/Iris/Eddie story of my heart!

Bail and Breha raise their daughter. *sobs* This is a really lovely look at Leia growing up.

Quiet, meditative story in which Patty has to come to terms with the damage ghostbusting causes to historic buildings, and Holtzmann has to come to terms with Patty. Lovely.

Darling little slice of life story with Prunella and Zacharias.

Santiago tries to explain fanfiction to Diaz. This is sweet and Holt's cameo puts it over the top into hilarious.

"You don’t have to," Poe would protest. "I can feed myself," Rey would insist. Finn only rolled his eyes and got on with it. He didn’t tell them about growing up eating the same routine meals, how the others would smuggle each other the best items as tokens of affection. He didn’t tell them that bread became a language of love. Rey and Finn take up gardening, much to the delight of the Resistance. Oh heart.

Lovely story of Aravis's journey away from and then back to Lasaraleen.

Cor and Aravis have to convince the rest of Archenland that they're fit rulers for the country. Ah, lovely. ♥ARAVIS♥

Really lovely modern AU where Satine is the British Ambassador to the US, Obi-Wan is a war correspondent and also they are in a relationship with Bail Organa; I admit to being skeptical of that going in, but the whole thing works really well. (also, ♥AHSOKA♥)

Jaylah, Uhura and language. Lovely.

Jaylah survives and learns and makes the Franklin her house.

The more time she spends at the Academy, the more she’s discovering that there are a lot of things she can really do. Her uniform fits better every day. Jaylah, finding her way at Starfleet Academy, with a little help from some friends. ♥

Jaylah collects her things from the Franklin. Oh honey. *sniffle*

Sometimes you cannot win, no matter how good you are, no matter how brave, no matter how much you love your daughter and want to live and live and live for her. Sometimes all you can do is die the best way you know how. *sobs* ♥JAYLAH♥ I love her so much and this is a lovely look at her future.

Fascinating AU where Alderaan is destroyed earlier and Leia ends up a slave on Tatooine and Luke uses local mythology (and Obi-Wan, fitting well into the role of (unwitting in this case) trickster) to free her, and lead the slaves in an uprising.

The Resistance welcomes Rey in various ways. Oh heart.

http://musesfool.livejournal.com/406012.html track down the rest?

Nightingale gets kidnapped and Peter has to help work the case. I enjoyed this.

Really lovely story of Rey finding her way with the Resistance, with her family, and with Poe.

oh alec, everybody's favorite happy go lucky sociopath.

After her father betrayed Harry to the Death Eaters, Luna isn't certain Ron is still her friend. On the day after Fred's funeral, she reaches out anyway. Oh my heart. ♥LUNA♥ and also Ron!

Maria tries to ask Sam out. It doesn't go as planned, so Natasha gets involved. This is hilarious and adorable. (and the original, Sam POV: http://archiveofourown.org/works/4580835 The Moon Don't Hang Quite As High by )

Anakin and Ahsoka try to comfort each other after escaping from Kadavo.

Spyral sends Dick and Tiger out to gather intel about the League of Assassins, and Dick finds someone he never expected to see alive again. His three missions are at odds with one another, but in the end, he makes the only choice he knows how to make, and, much to Tiger's surprise, everything works out in the end. But is it really all that surprising? Oh heart. Dick manages to save at least one formerly dead little brother from the bloodlust of the lazarus pit. #we were the best richard (there are some tense bobbles early on, but not enough to make me stop reading)

In the wake of CACW, Tony gets a visit from an old family friend. Fun Avengers/Agent Carter crossover.

Steve and Bucky go to Wakanda and plan to break their teammates out of the Raft, and also heal Bucky's brain.

How Han ended up staying with the rebellion after destroying the Death Star. Oh heart.

Tony Stark meets Baymax (and Hiro). Adorable.

Rex meets Luke after the Battle of Yavin. Oh heart.

“Why are they always here?” she demanded. She stomped to the basket, tossing in the clothes she’d collected. “They don’t actually live here. Emmeline is staying with us because she doesn’t want to be alone right now.” She began to make the bed, yanking up the sheets. “They aren’t alone. They don’t need to be at my house every fucking day! They don’t need to be a part of my marriage! I’m married to you! I’m not married to them!” He hesitated. “James!” “I mean, you’re a little married to them!” “Well, I’m not having a baby with them!” she yelled. “I’m having a baby with you!” She stared at him, panting. “I’m having a baby, James.” She sank onto the edge of the bed. “I’m having a baby. I’m twenty years old, and fighting in a war, and I’m having a baby.” He sat beside her. “What are we going to do?” she asked, deflated. AU where Lily and Petunia are raised by McGonagall, and Lily and James are childhood BFF before Hogwarts. Really good, long compelling read from Lily's POv that made me laugh and cry. (nb: some Americanisms? Also, some non-canon nicknames that I personally find grating.)
