Summary
Spiritual Successor to "It Came From the Vents." Gordon Freeman has spent three years trying to stabilize the AIs he befriended after a disastrous end to a military project. He's stolen company property, ignored his family, and neglected himself in hopes of success. Now that he's made progress, it's becoming increasingly apparent that one of the AIs in question may not be a program at all. No one can say for certain what this revelation will lead to, but one thing's for sure: HR is going to have a field day with this one.

Summary
Lost and alone at the end of the world, Jon decides to try one last idea. It goes wrong, as his ideas usually do, when both the Web and the Spiral decide to interfere with what he's doing. For once the disaster goes his favor. Mostly.
He wouldn't have chosen to go back in time to when he was eight years old. He certainly wouldn't have chosen to catch Elias freaking Bouchard's attention before he's had a chance to do anything. And he cannot believe that his luck is so monumentally bad that he gets adopted by the man who wants to use him to end the world.
Jon has to figure out how to keep Elias away, while saving his friends and the world. And hopefully growing old enough that he can go anywhere on his own and be taken seriously.

Summary
“Jonah Magnus.” The cloudy silhouette snarled as it’s hand clamped tightly around Jonah's ascot. That was indeed his name, but Jonah couldn’t begin to fathom what he did to have it spat out with such hatred.
But nonetheless, Jonah was a gentleman and he would kindly address the angry figure as politely as possible, “Yes, and you are?”
“What?” The form spluttered as it slowly came into focus. Ah, yes. That probably wasn’t the proper response to being held at gunpoint by a random stranger. Must have been the blow to his head.
(Or in which Jonathan Sims goes back in time and tries to pull a Terminator, but fails and Jonah Magnus finds a new mystery to solve.)

Summary
Martin had always been favored by the summer courts, and moving up north to the little village of Lacuna is a difficult adjustment. It's rainy and lonely and everyone seems to have a strange, distant relationship with the local faerie court.
However: there is a strange man in a cloak who walks past Martin's remote little cottage every few days.
However: there is a moth that keeps getting stuck in Martin's house during the rain.
These events are not as disconnected as they first appear.

Summary
Based on SoDoRoses (FairyChess)'s Love and Other Fairy Tales series.
Focusing on an unlikely and messy friendship between human and fae:
The herbwitch Rowan Baker, a mostly harmless resident of Wickhills, and Remus, the Green Knight who once stood by the Serpent King.
The Serpent King is dead.
Where does Remus stand now?
And why is this witch there too?
I wanted to make a gay/straight alliance joke, but fae/human alliance doesn't sound right. -

Linkguistics by DonttellmybrotherIwrotethis

Tags
Summary
Language changes over time. If Breath of the Wild had the Link of 10,000 years ago instead of the 100 year old one, things would be much more confusing. Forget the Master Sword; Link needs a language expert. This is a story where trusting a suspicious Link would have been a good thing. Complete until I find more ideas from commenters that I can steal.

Summary
Deceit never thought he’d get caught napping in the Main Sides commons. Luckily, he was disguised as a snake at the time. Unluckily, the one Side who would never let him go picked him up. Admittedly, there are worse things in the world than being stuck as Roman’s pet; it gives him a chance to learn more about the other Side, to find something he can take advantage of. Deceit finds himself distracted by the surprising mystery that Roman presents.
When another part of Thomas hidden away rises in power, Deceit takes a risk and asks for Roman’s help. So he can find blackmail, clearly, and not because he’s grown fond of the other Side or anything. That alone, they could have handled. But the secrets Roman keeps, their own family, and Deceit’s refusal to acknowledge anything between the two of them complicate matters. Thomas himself is at risk, and Deceit once knew that he’d do anything for his center. Anything it seems, except risk losing Roman.

Summary
While Thomas is asleep, Roman dreams himself into a predicament he can't get out of alone. Fortunately, he has three friends who are eager to... er, willing... look, at least they're going, alright? It's quest time!
T rating for some fantasy violence/described injuries (nothing graphic) and the possibility of cursing (the swearword kind, not the magic kind, although that's there too.) Check chapter notes for specific warnings.

Summary
Virgil was frantically pacing his room, pulling at his hair, glancing between all the words surrounding him. Words on his laptop, which sat opened on the couch with many tabs open and overlapping each other. Words on the many, too many, books lying open on the floor, the table, the couch. Words on the scattered papers and notebooks he had scribbled in. Words on the wall, where the highlights of his research had been pinned in an arrangement that would make any Tumblr theorist proud. Words in a language few knew of and even fewer speak, a fact that would normally bring him comfort but now only brought frustration. And then he looked at the number. The horrible, circled date on the calendar on his wall that he had been refusing to look at. Because Virgil had one month. One month before everything caught up with him. One month before everything would fall apart. It all had started with a simple deal. A simple, selfless agreement. But now, now that simple transaction is going to destroy him.
Now Virgil Sanders had one month to make himself disappear. All for a simple deal. But then again, things are never that simple are they?

Summary
Wirt had a lot of time to regret his decision as he was pressed with his back to a tree and his throat being crushed by two strong, cold and strangely texture-less hands, yet even now he was glad, he had finally been of use to his brother. Then the crushing of his windpipe stopped and he was bound to the tree by the strange roots.
‘So, he is turning me into a tree to keep me forever…I mean that is his modus operandum I guess.’
He did not expect the hands that had just been squeezing the life out of him to return to tenderly stroke bruised and mottled flesh.
“Human’s are so breakable it is almost beautiful how feeble you are, Like flowers in grave dirt. Wilting when left unattended for too long.” -
