A Dispassionate Historical Perspective by wanderingwriter87

Summary
"I don't know, Garak." A heavy swallow, a heavier sigh. "I don't know what possesses someone to act like this. You asked to go to this conference. Why? So you could taunt them from the safety of a Starfleet entourage? Do you know how that reflects on us? On me?"
"Oh. So that's what this is about." His hands weren't shaking. Neither was his voice.
Bashir's lip twisted. "Don't you dare, Elim."
A silence. His hands weren't shaking. His hands weren't shaking.

Summary
'We Fett clones were great soldiers. No one could or would ever try to argue with that. We were engineered, conditioned and trained to be versatile and skilled on the field of battle. In war, we knew what we were doing and so we were mature, confident, and serious. Then there was our spare time...'
Commander Wolffe's hobby was recording stories from the people he encountered during the Clone Wars. Some stories were nostalgia about the strange upbringing of clones on Kamino, some were adventures recounted by soldiers or Jedi, some were just etiological. And since the tone of the war was tragic, Wolffe insisted that all of the stories had to be funny.
Each chapter is three little stories.

The Assassination of Elim Garak by wanderingwriter87

Summary
The funeral was insufferably hot. Of course, it would be. Bashir wore all black, a mourning suit in the traditional Cardassian style that Garak had made for him years ago to attend his first state funeral as the Castellan’s spouse. He wondered if, in the back of his mind, Garak had known Bashir would someday wear it to this very occasion.
He was sweating entirely too much for such a somber event. The black fabric drew the heat of the suns, and he was beginning to feel lightheaded by the time they finally adjourned.
He sat on the steps of the funeral home, and Jeri brought him some cold water to drink and fanned him ineffectually with a floral arrangement. Smoke was rising from the crematorium.
He’s really gone.
***
In which Garak and Bashir never mended their relationship from the wartime wounds, rushed into a politically-motivated marriage, and broke each other’s hearts. Oh, and Garak fakes his own death. Don’t worry, the story does get happier.

Summary
This work encompasses Levels 0 to 4 of The Outlanders' Journey. Each tier has a different thematic focus, and while all of the 4 main PCs have their time in the spotlight, one will end up playing a more central role in each particular tier.
The title of this tier is from the following quote: “‘Stranger’ is the X that stands in for a proper name. It is the placeholder for the missing, the mark of the passage, the scar between native and citizen.”—Saidiya Hartman, Lose Your Mother
For Level 0, I will be releasing one new chapter per day starting on January 1st, 2022. Level 1 and beyond will see its release schedule as 1 chapter per week, every Tuesday at 9pm EST/EDT.

Summary
Korea is dying.
It doesn’t matter how, nor why, nor when. Maybe it was world war three, nuclear winter, or global warming. Maybe it was the heat death of the universe millions of years into the future, or something as mundane but destructive as a rapidly declining birthrate.
The point is that it is happening, and it’s going to end soon. Korea knows that this time, there will be no second chance. There will be nobody to pick up the mantle, because when Korea dies, which will be happening in, oh, about a minute or two if lucky, Korea as a government, a nation, a people, a concept will be forgotten.
This is the end. The real end.
So, at the end of the line, with nothing better to do, Korea reminisces.

AU where Ingo has eyebrows.
[Delayed for Trackwork! Next stop is scheduled for July 5th!]
BIG FAT UNMISSABLE CONTENT WARNING: this AU is set years into PLAs future, and Ingo is getting with (adult) Akari.The age gap is interpreted as mid 20s, mid 40s, at the time this fic is set. There will be drama, romantically and politically. I'm not going to shy away from some of the realities that a lot of age gaps have, either, though I promise it WILL work out in the end!
If that squicks you out, you should probably keep moving. -

Summary
The last time Hitoshi Shinsou had seen his home, the snow was turning black from the soot of Fire Nation ships. He’d since spent his days evading capture, wanting to live a quiet life where the war would never hurt him again. There’d certainly been no plans of becoming the Avatar’s waterbending instructor, nor of getting tangled up in plots against the Fire Nation. And he definitely hadn’t planned for Denki Kaminari.
Denki Kaminari spent his days dying of boredom in the Fire Nation colony of Yu Wei. When not serving his country through the Fire Army, Denki could be found flirting with anyone. Then came a man he’d never seen before, with an alluring personality and even more alluring secrets.
In the midst of it all is the war that divides their people, and the boy who is meant to bring balance to the world.

Summary
The few magic wielders who are strong enough to control individual monsters are in high demand. The King's Navy protects those who control the monsters, who in turn use the monsters to destroy those who might try to overtake their ships. It’s a story replayed on land, in the air, even in the flames for the poor bastards who can wield fire magic.
Not all monsters are under humanity’s control, though, and not all magic users have been caught and evaluated. What’s more is one Captain Edward “Blackbeard” Teach seems to be avoiding all the usual methods of deterrent.
It’s time to send someone in to break up this mess before it becomes a problem.

Summary
The Arendelles are just your average, suburban, upper-middle-class white Australian family. In fact, one could be mistaken for thinking they are the perfect family. A husband, a wife, and their two happy children. Just like on the commercials.
Except they’re not perfect. Far from it. They just play their parts far too well.
A life left behind. An innocent family tree project. The house behind the soccer field. A terrible mistake. Years of festering secrets, resentment swallowed down and untold sacrifices. Ghosts of the past threaten to drive two sisters apart, or push them dangerously close together.
