The story of how Captain America gets his shield back. *sobs* Oh my heart. This is an absolutely adorable outsider POV.

Interesting look at Rey, Luke, and Kylo Ren throughout Rey's training.

Stupidly hot Steve/Bucky/Natasha porn.

While Rey sips her tea, Leia stands behind her and combs the knots out of her hair. Her hands are cool and gentle and if, from time to time, they seem to shake, Rey doesn't say anything. It should feel strange, being fussed over by this woman she barely knows, but there's a connection between them that's deeper than grief, deeper than the need for amends. Rey senses it, but she's too tired, too overwhelmed to think about it now. All she can think is, This must be what it's like to be someone's daughter. This must be what it's like to feel safe. ♥REY♥ Lovely.

Really lovely (if heartbreaking, because canon) look at Ahsoka and Anakin's relationship from Obi-Wan's POV.

Jack and Bitty and physics. Lovely.

In his years at The Times, Mr. Bittman contributed more than 1,500 bylines. From no-knead bread to Mexican chocolate tofu pudding, here are some of his most-loved recipes.

Bitty, after the kiss. Oh heart.

hold off on reccing until the second story is done.

Bucky does his healing in Wakanda, under the auspices of T'Challa. Really lovely.

Great fanart (is it fanart if it's commissioned by the author?) of Mulaghesh and Shara.

Bucky makes a friend of the alien beast from the end of Thor 2 while he's recovering. Adorable!

Rey has trouble sleeping. Lovely.

Dottie and Peggy through the years.

Stunning and exquisite Remus/Sirius.

Eight lessons Anakin Skywalker learns through Ahsoka Tano, and one Darth Vader does. Exactly what it says on the tin. Oh my heart.

Lovely story of Rey's time on the Resistance base before she leaves to find Luke. (Though the anachronistic mention of the Beastie Boys made me a little !!!)

Han and Leia finally have a private reunion after he's rescued from Jabba's clutches.

After Zygerria, Anakin and Ahsoka finally talk about Anakin's past. Oh my heart.

Shipbuilding, Imperial-style. Hee! A beleaguered project manager for Sienar gets some design improvements from an unnamed source high up in the Imperial hierarchy and only later learns that her source is Darth Vader himself.

Oh these sweet desert children and their love of the rain.

Adorable post-movie fic with the crew of Hermes and Watney adjusting on the trip home to earth.

Peter pretends to be dating Spider-Man to catch a bad guy. Johnny doesn't like the plan. Such adorable dorks!

AU in which Remus doesn't attend Hogwarts until he's 16, and he immediately falls for Sirius Black. Oh heart. (Some anachronisms, but I enjoyed it anyway)

On the way out, one hand on the doorknob and a paper bag for Remus in the other, he realizes just how often he’s done this, newspapers and chocolate and healing spells murmured in the shrill glass shards of countless dawns, how many times his feet have taken him, automatically, through these same streets, the same doors, led him, always, to Remus. Outside, in the yellow sweep of the sun, Sirius can feel his heart beating with something almost tangible, flooding him like knowledge: a word, a word, a word. Oh, he thinks, a mouth like thunder. Oh. There are names for this. There are names for this. Achingly beautiful Sirius/Remus set over Christmas, 1979.

Long, slow post-canon story where the kids find Glendower but Ronan loses his memory, and neither he nor Adam deals all that well with it. Lovely and wistful.

Their last Valentine's Day at Hogwarts, Sirius gives Remus a gift that keeps giving. *sobs*

Leia watches over Poe Dameron. Lovely.

In this story, Finn, Rey and Poe meet in slightly different fashion, but they do indeed still meet. Aw.

Nice slice of life look at Luke's early days with the Rebellion. Oh sweetie.
