Lovely story about how Larissa Duan became the manager of the Samwell Men's Hockey team.

Really lovely story of how Alicia and Bad Bob Zimmerman fall in love.

For all his joking, Bucky doesn’t know how to navigate this situation any better than Steve does. He doesn’t want to fuck things up. God, what a relief not to be alone. “Don’t look at me,” Steve says, holding his hands up. “I don’t tell her what to do.” Peggy stalks over to the two of them and puts her hands on her hips. “Of course not,” she says to Steve, affronted that he would even bring up the possibility. But then she softens. She comes close enough to touch him, lifts her hand and runs her fingertips down his mud-flecked cheek. Then she raises her other hand and yanks Bucky down by the collar. She kisses him right there, eight inches from Steve’s face. It’s better than anything Steve imagined. Super hot, sweet, and just a touch sad Steve/Bucky/Peggy.

Bucky's sure he's not going to live to see 30. Sad, sharp look at Bucky through the years.

Really interesting HP/O11 fusion, with Sirius and Remus as Danny and Rusty.

While Steve is out looking for him, Bucky moves into his old apartment and starts making some improvements. Oh heart.

It takes Bucky a few tries to tell Steve that he loves him. Aw boys.

Melancholy look at Steve's search for Bucky and Bucky's ultimate return.

"How did you recognize me?" he demands again. Marci tears open an alcohol wipe, wonders if she needs something stronger, and rolls her eyes at him. "I've been dating your best friend on and- ah-" she winces at the sting-"off for six years, Murdock. I know what you look like, the way you move. Just because you've got a stupid ass mask on that covers your damn cheekbones doesn't mean I won't recognize you." She pauses, adds, "Asshole." I really enjoyed this story of Marci and Matt being bros.

This is a really sweet moving story about Honey Lemon.

In which Lily places a bet, does some investigating, gets in a fight, fixes a broken nose and learns a few things about her friends, that idiot James Potter, and herself. Three very complicated weeks towards the end of the year, because that's the only time anything actually happens at Hogwarts right? I really enjoyed this.

Lovely Marauder era James/Lily and Remus/Sirius.

Bucky Barnes and Susan Pevensie. It doesn't seem like it should work but it does. Sharp and melancholy.

Lovely Bucky-recovery story.

Shitty takes Lardo as his fake date to a family wedding. Lardo decides it's time to finally act on her feelings. Oh heart.

Kamala has an unexpected and quiet encounter with some Avengers. Lovely.

“I don’t care if you ask Blue.” Gansey hits the brakes a little harder than their slow approach to the stop light really requires. “I couldn’t,” he says, with what Ronan knows is valiant effort. Adam shrugs. “I don’t care, she’s not mine or anything. You obviously want to.” “She would stab all of us if she even knew we were having this conversation.” Gansey eases forward as the light goes green. “Hey,” Ronan says. “She has a knife now and I am not a part of this.” “Too late.” Adam smirks. He meets Ronan’s eyes in the mirror finally. “You’re an accomplice now.” “To rank misogyny,” Gansey says, but his lips are quirked in a small, secret smile that Ronan hasn’t seen in quite some time. This is actually listed as Adam/Ronan and it's that, but the stuff with Blue and her boys is always my favorite part of anything. This is adorable on all levels.
