Summary
[CW: Alcoholism, Alcohol Abuse/Substance Abuse, PTSD and its affects]
Lin Beifong has been sober for eighteen years, a hundred and five days, and twenty-three hours when the Equalists force her to kneel in the cold, rainy plaza of Air Temple Island and Amon takes her bending away.
Eighteen and a half years of work, hours of meetings and withdrawals and makeshift sobriety chips lined up along her backsplash, gifted to her quietly by the world’s otherwise most exuberant man…all gone in an instant.
Just like her bending.

Summary
Years. Broken into months into weeks into days—into hours, minutes, seconds—into moments. Simple at one end, complex at the other. In Draco’s experience, moments, even when simple, had a habit of becoming irretrievable. Moments grew, stretched, multiplied into ages and eras that defined whole stretches of measurable time. Draco regretted several moments in his life, some within his control, some without: all of them irretrievable in nature. At a certain point, wedged between ‘what-ifs’ of his own devising, he’d stopped trying to keep track of those regrettable moments: now and then, pushing and pulling, coming and going, beginning and end. Moments were only moments for just as long. After that, he had no control.
[In which Draco is forced to work with Hermione, falls in love, makes many mistakes, and eventually becomes his own man. A Draco POV prequel to Wait and Hope.]

Bookmark Notes:
Normally I wait to bookmark a fic once it's completed, or if it's completed then after I've finished reading.
This FIC. Chapter 37 made me pause, scroll up to reread, then scream internally and bookmark this. I know I won't regret it.

Summary
Mandatory Hogwarts AU. Beta'ed by the wonderful Beccabee who has put up with so much to bring this to you.
Arc I: In which Kuroko is a budding delinquent who catches the eye of star student Akashi Seijuro.
Arc II: In which Kuroko is a respectable student and a talented duelist who plans on showing his former teammates the error of their ways by using the power of friendship.
Arc III: In which Kuroko is neither a delinquent nor a respectable student, but a fully realized wizard with a plan to stop the world from ending – if he can work with the Miracles for long enough to make it happen.
...“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”

Summary
It’s a happiness like Kara has never felt, knowing she’s successfully pulled off their ruse and bumbled her way into her first tournament. She’s full of restless energy, so buoyant that she’s sure she could fly, and she spurs her horse onwards through the crowd, reveling in the joyous squalor of the city. It reminds her of home. Of London, the tiny hovel in the cheapest part of the city where Eliza worked her fingers to the bone as a healer to support her and Alex.
It’s in this mood, dressed as a man and brimming with hope as she meanders through the streets grinning at anyone who will give her a second look, that she sees an angel.
OR
Kara Danvers is a knight’s squire, a girl of humble origins just trying to find her place in the world. When the lord she serves unexpectedly gives her the opportunity to change her stars, she takes it without hesitation, finding love and purpose along the way.
OR OR
The medieval AU based on A Knight’s Tale, the sexiest historical movie in existence.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Summary
Set in a universe best described as "an unholy mashup of the 90s cartoons and the live-action Lois and Clark show with a liberal heaping of our own bizarre headcanons about Kryptonian biology and a scoop of blatant disregard for (most) comics and movie canon, plus a dash of the live-action Gotham show for flavor."
This series is named "repairing the world" for two reasons. One is that the principle of tikkun olam, or "world repair", is a huge player in the personal philosophies and motivations of many of the principal characters. The other is that this is basically a big huge universe of fix-it fic that returns Superman to his Jewish origins, tosses out the gross stuff DC has generated over the years, and gives characters actual happy relationships and the chance to process and deal with their trauma without skimming over it for the sake of keeping everything the same. All works can be read as stand-alones unless otherwise noted.

Summary
She tries to turn and look at him but Dizzy won’t let her move her head. It’s hard to breathe and she feels light headed and from the corner of her eye, she can see the edges of Chris’ wings start to blur. Her hand closes on itself, empty, and the room whites out.
A blood red train. A man holding a flask to his fox daemon’s mouth. Two sleeping faces tucked close together, the swish of a tail that could be a sleeping predator. Swimming in and out of focus, the face of a woman with old eyes. Bubbles, streaming up at her face in the darkness.
Nile and her daemon don't die, then gain a second family, then save the world. In that order.
