<blockquote>The thrilling sequel to Coco that you've all been waiting for! Miguel visits ... wait for it... wait for it... A LIBRARY. Or : Miguel probably can't prove that Ernesto is a murderer, but stupendous fuckbucket is still on the table.</blockquote> ➤ ohhhh dang this fic is INCREDIBLE

<blockquote>"Mindelan, it may be that the best thing said of my tenure is that you were my student. Should that be the case, I am the wrong man for this post. I did all I could to get rid of you. Your probation was wrong. You know that, I know it. I was harder on you than any lad. Thank Mithros I remembered my honor and let you stay when you met the conditions—but it was a near thing. Next time, I might not heed the voice of honor." -- Wyldon of Cavall (Squire)</blockquote> ➤ The AU where Wyldon kicks her out after her probationary year but she sticks around to keep learning anyway

<blockquote>The ATF has questions about how some explosions on Greendale's campus tie into the local rumors of a cult led by Troy Barnes. The study group has answers. Sort of.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Not all is as it should be in a world down the Series, and Janet is not just a raw ingredient.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Mark is back among his crew. How does he handle it? How do they? Snapshots and practicalities as the Hermes crew returns to Earth.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The first few days on the Hermes, everyone is still getting used to having Mark back.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The London season of 1814 finds itself descended upon by a veritable horde of dragons--and their eligible captains. Shameless Regency trash. Tags, characters, and relationships to be added as they become relevant.</blockquote> ➤ wip through part 4

<blockquote>Shmi leaves Tatooine with Anakin and goes to the Jedi Temple.</blockquote> ➤ parts one through three are complete ("In all your wanderings", "Winds of change and chance" and "Messenger"). ➤ Part 4 is wip, "It will be written," and I am thoroughly enjoying this fic! ➤ Part 3 is an outlier, focusing on Beru Whitsun in freedom and her mentorship with Jango Fett and subsequent break from him, and is a wonderful story standalone as well as part of this larger universe

<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>Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part. Even the Dragon-King's temple floods.</blockquote> ➤ great worldbuilding work, a well-handled crossover, a compelling threat, fun characterizations and character interactions. I also appreciated the way the language barrier was handled. Thoroughly engaging story, well done. Could do without the stealth crossovers in the minor background characters though, and I was baffled by how everyone called Daniel "Danny"

<blockquote>The Sith Lord Darth Vader lived his life. He probably didn't live it well, but he lived it as well as he knew how. At the end there, he'd even managed to woman up and kill Sidious. But he was dying, and at peace with the past. The past wasn't at peace with him.</blockquote> ➤ I always enjoy the time-travel fix-it trope, and this one doesn't disappoint. It does get a little boring eventually because it spends so much time on its ideas of what Dark and Light really mean (though its ideas are interesting!), but I enjoy a great deal about this fic, including the way that Anakin and Padme have to actually WORK on their relationship

<blockquote>Steve Rogers isn't a self-made man. Or, how a tough little Brooklyn fairy got turned into Captain America, and then turned back.</blockquote> ➤ GOSH. thoroughly researched and with a lot of heart. I had feelings.

<blockquote>They go through the requisite amount of hey, this doesn’t look like heaven, this looks like a theater!, which takes… more time than you might think, especially since they aren’t all speaking to each other.  Hamilton is refusing to acknowledge anything Jefferson says, Jefferson wants to be addressed as Mr. President, and Eliza keeps deliberately stepping on Burr’s foot. Madison is just glad to not be coughing. He breathes in and out.  Nudges Jefferson.  Smiles. It’s Angelica who finds the books. Some time after that, John Laurens finds the first playbill. And, well, there’s nothing else to do. Pity them: they can’t even make the obligatory Waiting for Godot reference.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The last thing the Resistance thought they were getting in Finn was a decent chef, but Finn’s been cooking for his squad since he was small. He doesn’t mind cooking for his new friends — especially since Resistance cuisine is pretty damn awful. There's also the fact that Finn never really had a place to fit in when he was a Stormtrooper, and his journey to finding a place to fit with the Resistance. Or alternatively — five times Finn cooked for other people, and one time other people cooked for him.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Sesame Street Elementary Primary Source Project, Topic #3: Monsters didn't always live on Sesame Street. When did monsters first come here? What were their lives like? Interview someone who knows Sesame Street's history and find out.</blockquote>

<blockquote>“Hey Hermes!” The ambient suspicion level in the Rec ratcheted up significantly. Kapoor was disturbingly cheerful. “We’ve sent you some mission updates in the data dump, but Mitch and I wanted to personally let you know—” Mitch visibly rolled his eyes in the background. “—That thanks to some…strong suggestions from the White House, and on Annie and Director Sanders’ recommendation, we’ve started releasing Watney’s Mars logs to the public.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>ARES 3 by-AresIII Boy's onboard. We're headin' home.</blockquote> ➤ I mean, how are you supposed to have a lander for a gas planet? But other than that detail it's a really great fic

<blockquote>You can go home again, but it's going to take seven months.</blockquote>

<blockquote>...for, of course, they were to have a son. This son was to join in cutting off the entail, as soon as he should be of age... (A series of what-ifs exploring in turn the possibilities had any of the Bennet girls been born male.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>"The colloquial name is bloodstone," says the man from StrexCorp's Acquisitions division. "Heard of them?" Carlos shakes his head. "No, but I'm not a minerologist. Are you certain this wasn't intended for the geology department?" / Carlos is a loyal company employee, who has never been to any place called Night Vale and never met anyone named Cecil…which doesn’t explain the mysterious woman appearing in his lab, or these dreams he’s started having…</blockquote> ➤ My god, it's finally finished! I've been following this WIP from the beginning and it's been a great experience. What a good fic!

<blockquote>Immortan Joe died in the end, but what if he had died one of the other 80,000 times a badass woman threatened his life? This is that fic. (Or, 5 times Immortan Joe dies and everyone else lives.)</blockquote>

<blockquote>It turns out that Marius _can_ heal your wounds with words of love. Don't worry, it came as a shock to him too.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Everyone has their first year story, and at the end of the day, they're all the same. New Burbage was always more seductive then it should be.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Hakoda found the boy in the ice eight days before Kya went into labor. Avatar!Katara AU.</blockquote> ➤ !!!!!!!!!!!! ➤ Probably when I finally get around to watching A:tlA I will have trouble believing Aang is really the avatar because I've internalized this fic so much but I DON'T EVEN CARE, THIS IS AMAZING FOREVER. ➤ The first two books of the series are complete, out of a projected four, so it ends with the overarching plot not actually concluded, but it is a satisfying read nonetheless as it stands. Also really long. Imagine The Ocean - Book One Listen to the Earth - Book Two Carry the Flame - Book Three (wip through part 2) ➤ As of December 2019 the author is saying in comments that they intend to keep writing so it's not abandoned yet.

<blockquote>Cinaed: haha, jam asked for a merfolk/library Les Mis au Cinaed: maybe I should do one where Madeleine refuses to become mayor and becomes the town librarian instead (while running the factory), and Javert has to enlist his help because his squirrels are acting strangely and he’s gathered such a large collection of books </blockquote>

<blockquote>Six weeks before the group stage of the World Cup, the French national team plays Patron-Minette in a charity friendly. It all goes downhill from there.</blockquote> ➤ wip through part 3 as of bookmarking

<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>In the two weeks following the events of Star Trek Into Darkness, a Starfleet officer tries to put Starfleet back together again. As a friend pointed out, anyone looking for a fic with plot and subtlety should probably not read this fic. It might work whether you liked the movie or not, but I wrote it in order to address multiple aspects of fail. It should probably be titled, Why I Love Starfleet.</blockquote> ➤ I cannot even with how perfect and right this fic is.

<blockquote>Steve Rogers has to live the same day over and over. Bruce, Tony, Pepper, Jane, and Thor try to help him. Then things go from bad to worse.</blockquote>

<blockquote>OKAY HERE IS THE NEXT ONE ENJOY (??)</blockquote> ➤ !!!
