Summary
She knows what it is to lack purpose.
The lack of other things—unconditional stability, benevolent guidance, a happy home—causes damage, but aimlessness.... She knows both sides of that equation too well.
But they are children. They have guardians that are not hopelessly incompetent, and they even have a chance for catharsis despite their father's death. Theirs is not an inevitable path.
[Elfnein and Carol reconcile. Resolution is the name of the game.] [Multiple POVs; short chapters.] [Should read "Counting Sheep" and "Alphabet Soup" first.]

Destinies Thwarted, Rebuilt, Reclaimed by Vertumn

Summary
Your time will come again. Catra will not last long as Hordak’s second in command, for the girl’s contrariness recklessly overrides her self-preservation. Very few can outlast Hordak’s games and whims, and fewer still can return from such a fall from Hordak’s grace. Perhaps, even, Hordak will deign to remember Adora’s existence and visit misery upon the one responsible for losing her.

Summary
Tactics, bias, and the value of life. Who can say what the She-Ras of old were like as warriors, as leaders, as living beings?
You do not know. Maybe they thought this, or that, or something else altogether. They could do this, or that, or other feats beyond mere mortals’ reach. You do not know.

Mayn't Change the World by Vertumn

Summary
A better outcome -- an alternate universe in which Homura isn't too messed up and almost everyone is alive. They may not be able to change the world, but they can change themselves and figure out life as best they can, hoping they won't die tomorrow.
[Very slow-moving plot, heavy introspection. Alternating 3rd person close POVs.]

It had only been two weeks. Rin wasn’t sure why she noticed the silence now. Shirou didn’t know why he thought the house was empty.

I loathe tumblr-style tagging showing up out of its lane.

Summary
When Lena finds out Kara and Supergirl are lovers, of course she’s happy for them. Ecstatic, even. She’s always sworn no one could be good enough for her Kara, but Supergirl comes close. Nevermind that Supergirl abandons Kara on dates, drags her onto dangerous battlefields for “the story,” and doesn’t seem to give a flying hunk of kryptonite that Kara is constantly being kidnapped to bring Supergirl down. No, Lena is thrilled.
—
The DEO stages a relationship between Kara Danvers and Supergirl to foil Cadmus. Lena doesn’t handle it as well as she could.

Summary
Alternate version of events after Vanya is locked up in the bunker. (A.K.A: It would have literally taken one genuine hug to prevent the apocalypse.)
Mainly focused on Vanya and Klaus (not romantically, though you can choose to read it like that if you want, too). Resolution for Vanya and Allison, too, because they both deserve it. And also Ben, because him and Klaus are gold.

Vanya playing for her siblings in chapter 3 -- beautiful.
