<blockquote>The Regal Copper Laurentius accidentally acquires a captain, Tharkay spectates, Temeraire is Not Actually an Orphan, and no one really knows who's leading France. Someone should probably get on that, considering England is at war with the place.</blockquote> ➤ AMAZING. An au in which all the humans are dragons and all the dragons are humans.

<blockquote>Based on some sketches by SimplyIrenic of Enjolras as a female Resistance leader. After being shot down over Calais in the Battle for Britain, Polish pilot Feuilly is rescued by a Resistance cell lead by Enjolras, a modern day Joan of Arc.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Rey knows something about pulling things apart. Putting them back together again is where the real challenge begins.</blockquote> ➤ defs here for Phasma & Rey!! Author tags this Phasma/Rey but like. This is clearly gen. But I would totally read Phasma/Rey!

<blockquote>"Maul was my pride, my greatest accomplishment aside from the political games that have wrought me control over the Republic. Why should I take a second apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi?

<blockquote>A series of one-shots set in a universe where Vader turned double agent for the Rebellion about three years after ROTS, and Leia is now his primary contact with the Rebellion.</blockquote> ➤ I was surprised by how into this fic I was! Because I am the most predictable person, though, my favourite thing is the slave folk stories from Tatooine about the trickster figure Ekkreth. But really everything is great. ➤ 20 parts as of last checking (Feb 2020, but last updated in 2017): Shape-Changer Words in the Heart (Words in the Heart) Cannot Be Taken The Slave Who Makes Free Decryption Codes A Larger World The Emperor's Speech Optimal Functioning Trickster Steals the Moon Flowers for the Emperor Bedrock The Only Verdict Aftermath Trophies Children of the Force Empire Day The Unstolen Child Rocks and Water Sometimes as Many as Seven Apology Accepted

<blockquote>Esca is a prisoner on Marcus Flavius Aquila's transport ship.

<blockquote>Miss Wilhelmina Laurence never leaves Nottinghamshire, and certainly not in the winter of 1805. When the Reliant captures an exhausted Amitie on her way out of a storm, Miss Laurence is grimly preparing for a country ball. Usually a merry occasion even for a confirmed spinster, this particular event is soured by the presence of Bertram Woolvey, who is likely to make Miss Laurence’s particular friend and neighbor an offer and therefore deprive her of her most beloved company.  When the queer porcelain egg hatches, several weeks later, and the officers are gathered around with the reluctant sacrifice stepping forward nervously, the black dragonet ignores them all. It takes seven men to hold the creature down long enough to harness it, even though it is a newborn. The dragonet does not stay silent for long, protesting at its treatment quite vehemently in both English and French–but it pays no attention to any man in particular, and seems in fact to resent them all. The officers are relieved as well as unsettled. They do not name it, but make for Madeira with all speed. </blockquote>

<blockquote>"Euphrasia ate like someone who never had enough food—Valyanos recognized it, with an inward shudder, from his time in the mines, before the arena and his wooden sword—methodically scooping soup into her mouth with the bread and cleaning the bowl with the crust until not a single chickpea remained, nibbling the apple down to the barest core." Valjean and Cosette in Roman Gaul, 38 B.C.E.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The hovercraft had never really been in tip-top shape; no matter how many times he’d sent it in to get fixed, it still sputtered, coughed up smoke, and trailed pollution through the Mars dome. So perhaps, Fauchelevant thought in a delirious haze, this was its revenge for all the times he’d kicked it and yelled at it and wished it was a newer model. Or perhaps, as the gallant Captain Madeleine shouldered his way through the wreckage and grasped Fauchelevent by the wrist and waist, this was its way of saying you deserve something better in your life. </blockquote> ➤ three-sentence fic so the bit I quoted is the entirety of it. DON'T I WISH THERE WERE MORE THOUGH

<blockquote>Fantine lives after all. Not as much changes as you might think -- except for her.</blockquote> ➤wow so many feelings so much excellence, and it totally sounds like Hugo's narrative voice on top of it all

<blockquote>“I’ll be up at the Arkangel,” Noah finishes. “When you lot have finished your grumbling, come up and get your assignments.” After he leaves, everyone looks at each other, still caught in the moment of silence. As might have been expected, Ham’s the one to break it. “What’s crawled up his exhaust pipe?” “I think the prospect of a life-ending flood might just have had a moderately deleterious effect upon him,” Rahela says sarcastically. “I can’t imagine why.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>The one where Javert gets a pug</blockquote> ➤or: the one with Carl un chien. WHY DID I NEVER READ THIS BEFORE

<blockquote>Hamlet in space, starring sensible and heroic Ophelia, genderswapped Claudius, clones Rosencrantz and Guilderstern and alien Fortinbras. (Alas, there are no sharks in space riding motorcycles, nor is there a time machine.)</blockquote> ➤ HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING

<blockquote>In which Montparnasse finds that the perils of walking in the Rue de l'Homme Arme are twofold: first, that one might begin to think; and second, that one might come across a weak old man.</blockquote>

<blockquote>In an alternate universe where Valjean and Javert work together in the Sûreté, not so much as buddy cops but as cops who yell at each other a lot, a run-in with a gang of criminals leaves them in an awkward predicament.</blockquote> ➤ or as Carmarthen said on tumblr: <blockquote>AKA: Javert thinks kissing is gross and Valjean hides lockpicks up his butt: The Fic.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Greendale really is a psychiatric hospital, but Abed has a foolproof escape plan for him and all his friends. Shared delusion? Shared delusion? Shared delusion?</blockquote>

<blockquote>(Who will not be slaves again!) In other words, the Amis as 1960s Freedom Riders, based on the Nashville college students who sang so many protest songs in jail that, apparently out of annoyance, the Birmingham police drove them back to Tennessee.
