The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins — but in the heart of its strength lies weakness: One lone candle is enough to hold it back. Love is more than a candle. Love can ignite the stars. – Matthew Stover (Revenge of the Sith novelization) Fic ideas:
Songs that remind me of a movie/book/tv-series: 1. How To Save A Life (Alex Goot) - Star Wars; Anakin's and Obi-Wan's friendship 2. Slipped Away (Avril Lavigne) - Merlin; Arthur's thoughts on Morgana after season 3 finale 3. Keep Holding On (Avril Lavigne) - Merlin; Arthur and Merlin in general 4. Old Songs (Barry Manilov) - Star Wars; Anakin's try to save his marriage with Padmé 5. Waiting For The End (Linkin Park) - Star Wars; Obi-Wan right after the end of RotS, alone in his hut on Tatooine 6. Fallen (Sarah McLachlan) - Star Wars; Anakin during Order 66 7.

"If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?" "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." "Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes." "The release of atomic power has changed everything except our way of thinking ... the solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind." "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind." "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake." "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." “The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant." “When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.” "There's something that doesn't make sense. Let's go and poke it with a stick." "Not to worry, we're still flying half a ship." "The world is not split into good people and Death Eaters. We have all got both dark and light inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on; that's who we really are." "Just looked like a "thing", didn't it? People don't question "things". They just say, "oo... it's a thing." "To be, or not to be, that is the question. Weeelll... More of A question really. Not THE question. Because, well, I mean, there are billions and billions of questions out there, and well, when I say billions, I mean, when you add in the answers, not just the questions, weeelll, you're looking at numbers that are positively astronomical and... for that matter the other question is what you lot are doing on this planet in the first place, and er, did anyone try just pushing this little red button?” “The universe is big. It’s vast and complicated and ridiculous. And sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles.” "It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up." "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." "Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame, whatever the cost.” "There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it." "Pain and loss, they define us as much as happiness or love. Whether it's a world, or a relationship...everything has its time. And everything ends." "If you are good at something, don't do it for free." "You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick? Then there's other people, when you meet them you think, 'Not bad. They're okay.' And then you get to know them and... and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality's written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful." "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff."

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." "Age is foolish and forgetful when it underestimates youth." "The thing is, Amy, everyone's memory is a mess. Life is a mess. Everyone's got memories of a holiday they've never been on or a party they never went to, or met someone for the first time and felt like they've known them all their lives. Time is being rewritten all around us, every day. People think their memories are bad, but their memories are fine. The past is really like that." "Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike." "For what is a villain without the hero to oppose him?" "Just because you want the world to be something, envision it in your own way, doesn't mean that's how it really is. You may be right about some things, or it could be that you just don't know the truth yet." "Some men just want to watch the world burn." "The end justifies the means." "The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time." "Oi! Don't diss the sonic!" "Alien technology plus human stupidity. Trust me, it's unbeatable."

A Single Word 10. the Reborn Trilogy by Kenya Starflight 11. Forgiven 12. Shadows of the Future 13. Fallen by leap of fate (it's a oneshot but really worth) 14. What Could Have Been 15. You Were Wrong 16. In His Eyes (it's sad, really, the ending; I never expected it...) 17. Tales from the Trash Compactor – similar to These Aren't the Droids You're Looking For 18. Early Redemption 19. Take Care of Yourself, Han by MJ Mink 20. Marooned by MJ Mink 21. Through the Rift by Above the Winter Moonlight 22. The Slightest Bit of Happiness by amthyst-fire 23. The Awakening by Lilac Moon 24. Seek Truth by Charlie Hayden 25. Salvation by Shawn30 (the Anidala fic where Palpatine dies and everybody lives happily ever after. Very similar to 'Amor Vincit Omnia') 26. Restless Warrior by Aria Saralyn 27. Keeping Faith, Book II: Allies 28. Pulse by froovygirl 29. Flip by Snootiegirl99 (AniObi slash) 30. Greyspace by Fialleril (the one where Palpatine is taken prisoner and sends gifts to the twins and, when he finally escapes, Anakin only wonders why he waited so long) 31. Thicker Than Blood by Hidden-Shadow-of-Me 32. Landing at Point Rain Revisited 33. Surprises by sharp52092 34. A Night for Opera and Everything Else 35. Amor Vincit Omnia by Shawn30 (aka The Ultimate Happy Ending. Very similar to 'Salvation') 36. Fall of the Sith by Souderwan (aka, Mace Windu goes dark instead of Anakin) 37. Okay, so I can't get the name of this fic, but it's good so I'm just going to put the link here: http:///post/65864090338/redemption-1-4 38. Too Ridiculous to be True by Jedi Master Misty Sman-Esay (wherein Palpatine is Obi-Wan's father) 39. A Piece of Light by Padfootkicksbutt (Anakin meets Han Solo) 40. Solo Down by Imperial Remnant ('It's a family reunion. A complicated family reunion, thanks to time travel.' Vader, Luke, Leia, Han, Kylo, Rey, and Hux. Sounds fun...) 41. Into the Archives by skygawker ('After hearing the legend of Darth Plagueis the Wise from Palpatine, Anakin decides that his best chance to save Padme is to break into the restricted Holocron Vault of the Temple Archives to search for information about Plagueis. Predictably, all does not go according to plan. Revenge of the Sith AU.' The one in which the combined effort of Padmé and Obi-Wan manage to turn Anakin back to the light in Palpatine's office) 42. Chance by rukushaka ('Obi-Wan goes to talk to the Council; he might have a chance after all. Support from Qui-Gon, time travel, vignette.' Everything has beauty, including this fic. There is a lot of angst in this one) 43. Double Agent Vader by Fialleril ('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.' The summary makes it sound more funny than it is. Actually, it's all about family and friendship and trust and Leia and Vader's relationship. In which Vader is the Rebel spy Ekkreth and Leia gets told a lot of old Tatooine tales) 44. force ghosts by Trillian_Astra ('Kylo Ren has wanted to speak with Darth Vader's ghost ever since he learned that Force ghosts were possible, but has never been granted the opportunity. Meanwhile, a young scavenger named Rey finds companionship with a disembodied voice that calls itself Ani.' Character piece - essentially Anakin and his grandkids. Somewhat akin to Fialleril's two oneshots about Anakin and Rey and Kylo Ren) 45. Ghosts of Our Past by LightningStarborne ('"You know, my master thinks I've started hallucinating." "Really? Please tell him that I firmly believe in my own existence." "Of course we both believe you're real. You are, you know, the one my master thinks I'm hallucinating, and I really don't want to be insane."' In which Obi-Wan dies instead of Qui-Gon, which leads to Qui-Gon taking on Anakin as a Padawan yet treating him very coldly. Fast forward thirteen years into the future, and Anakin's own Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, is seeing Obi-Wan as a ghost. Only, nobody believes her. New fic, but seems exceptional so far) 46. The Guiding Winds by Fialleril ('Anakin survives ROTJ, and he and Luke return to Tatooine. It's a homecoming in more ways than one.' The one in which Anakin re-baptizes himself through an ancient Tatooinian ritual with water) 47. Nature Nurture Heaven and Home by Fialleril ('Pass on what you have learned, Master Yoda had said. But Yoda had never specified which things.' Sequel to the fic above. In which Anakin works on a secret project and Luke plans the future of the Jedi Order and has questions about the Jedi Code) 48. Never Let Go by Between the Fire and the Storm ('A mission gone wrong lands Anakin in the hands of Count Dooku while the rest of the galaxy is under the impression that he is dead. With the Sith's sole purpose being to turn him to the Dark Side, Anakin finds resisting difficult as his life, sanity, and family are threatened. Yet through this "training," Anakin realizes a simple plan to destroy the Sith and end the war. Join them.' Basically what the summary says. This is a rare case of the summary working perfectly well. Not really a Sith!Anakin, but definitely dark!Anakin at times. Mace Windu is amazing: he is strict, but does not have a stick up his ass) 49. Heirs to the Rebellion by Hermitage ('In which the board is reset, and our heroes contemplate their next steps.' Rey meets her father, Luke) 50. When Darkness Seems to Hide This Place by IllyanaA ('After killing three of the Jedi Order's best and brightest, Palpatine's fight with Jedi Master Mace Windu goes shorter than expected. Afraid he's lost his chance at recruiting a new apprentice, Sidious unleashes Order 66 across the galaxy, but, per their programming, the Clone Army is not to harm Anakin Skywalker. After witnessing the most painful loss he's ever experienced and injured at the hands of his captors, Anakin is ready to die like the rest of the Jedi, though not before getting his vengeance.' The one in which Anakin doesn't turn but is wounded and the remaining Jedi – which there are lots of – relocate to an ancient Jedi Temple, and Rex comes along because he has ripped out his chip a long time ago and didn't kill any Jedi) 51. The Flesh Is Weak by EmpiresofExtimacy ('Kylo has never satisfied the carnal desires of the flesh. It is a sin, one that must be paid not in coinage, but control. And control, he has learned, is a currency difficult to come by. He learns to function without, wears asceticism in the straight lines of his robes, the sharp corners of his mask. He purges himself of the deceitful ways and does not touch or look upon another. It becomes second nature, a comfort, to bear the purity of self-restraint. It is second nature until it is not.' Kylo Ren/Hux, no actual slash but unrequited) 52. Another Night by EmpiresofExtimacy ('It’s too tender, too close to something it should not be. Kylo can feel Hux pliable and soft beneath his hands. He lays his forehead against Hux’s, lets his eyes drift shut.' Kind of sequel to the above. Drunk!Kylo Ren, kind of drunk!Hux) 53. Calling Bluffs by azhdarchidaen ('When Leia can't come along on a routine mission, Han doesn't think much of it. He, Luke, and Chewbacca should still be able to complete the objective just fine, shouldn't they? With extra time to tease the kid over his very apparent disappointment. But when the mission -- and the teasing -- starts to go awry, Han realizes it might be time for him to re-examine the hand he's been trying to play with.' Asexual!Luke, very good) 54. Redemption by Abigail Ashe ('"The moment he looked into her head was the moment Kylo Ren became Ben Solo once more." Or in which Kylo Ren turns away from the Dark Side and returns home with his father.' Han/Leia) 55. Vision by malic124 (Leia talks with her father's ghost after Kylo Ren kills Han. Takes place near the end of The Force Awakens) 56. The Force's Prophecy by JediC8H10N4O2 ('The Force had a better guideline if only the Jedi had listened better. As far as the Force was concerned, the Jedi may have preferred that to what happened, but the end goal was reached.' Episodes I-VI from the Force's point of view. Amazing) 57. Future Tense by seiji ('“You got a family? Got a boyfriend? Cute boyfriend?” Finn wants everything out in the open. Rey's not sure what she wants, but it's not that.' Asexual!Rey, aromantic!Rey, Finn/Poe, Rey&Finn&Poe) 58. Where Respect Comes From by Drappersky ('During the Clone War Anakin makes a move on his Master not realizing Obi-Wan is asexual. Anakin continues with misguided persistence and Obi-Wan tries to avoid their problems. When it finally come to a head what will happen?' Asexual!Obi-Wan) 59. The Smallest Choices Make The Difference by Amugon ('Hearing what others said about his grandfather Ben became afraid to become like the man. Growing up Ben didn’t hear many stories about his grandparents. He knew who they were, it was hard to avoid listening in to words exchanged between people when they involved him in some way. A few people feared he was force sensitive and would become like his grandfather.' Ben Solo never becomes Kylo Ren; asexual!Kylo Ren, asexual!Ben Solo; Ben/Poe) 60. Homeward Bound by oncomingstorm42 ('Leia Organa knows her brother. He's stubborn and it'll take more than Rey to bring him home. So she sends a message.' Yes, she uses the 'you're my only hope' line, and Luke retaliates by coming back and saying 'I'm Luke Skywalker, I'm here to rescue you'. Wonderful symmetry) 61. Birthday by sparklight ('Leia, Luke and their nineteenth birthday. There's also a Death Star involved.' Wow, who needs a heart. Not me) 62. The Sad Grandpa Trilogy by nymja ('Skywalker, Kenobi. It was always meant to go full circle. Rey Kenobi theory.' Obi-Wan watches Kylo Ren, Anakin's grandson, and Anakin watches Rey, Obi-Wan's granddaughter) 63. Happily Ever After by Imadra Blue (imadra_blue), imadra_blue, Luthe ('When his children run away to save the galaxy from endless war on their own, Anakin Skywalker must embark on a journey across the galaxy to bring Luke and Leia home -- a journey that partners him again with his old Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and leads them into a relationship neither expected.' Anakin/Obi-Wan slash, featuring Luke, Leia, Grievous, and Dooku. Anakin has left the Jedi Order shortly before Padmé's death in childbirth. Darth Sidious is dead but the war goes on as Count Dooku, having mysteriously survived, refuses to surrender. BAMF!Obi-Wan; Obi-Wan refuses to give up on being a Jedi and Anakin doesn't want to go back to the Jedi or send his kids to them, but eventually they find a middle ground: Obi-Wan becomes their personal tutor in the usage of the Force. Intriguing fic, lots of subtle hints at h/c and angst from Obi-Wan and Anakin) 64. The Light in Perfection by Dreaming_of_a_Bright_Sky ('With the Galaxy headed on a path leading straight into Darkness, two Jedi are given the chance to prevent it.' Time travel but not really, more like Force visions. Fix-it. The entire Jedi Council bar Yoda and Obi-Wan are class-A jerks, and I mean it in the worst way possible. The fic is very cheesy but also so very good. AniObi preslash) 65. walls cave in by ygrittebardots ('There are worse assignments than travelling halfway across the galaxy to spring a senator out of jail, only this is the third time this year and Padmé's starting to think he's doing it on purpose.' Jedi!Padmé, Senator!Anakin, Anidala) 66. Where Have We Come? by soaring_heart ('The first time was one of the hardest and the easiest. Obi-Wan loses at Mustafar, but instead of dying he wakes up at the dawn of the last day of the republic, doomed to repeat the worst day of his life, over and over again.' Sad, implied angst, but so very good. Time travel, fix-it yet not. Groundhog Day!AU on the day of Mustafar) 67. More Than Anything by Engineerd ('Anakin's soulmate mark is on the palm of his right hand.' AniObi slash, major character death [ie Obi-Wan]. The one where Palpatine kills Obi-Wan and Anakin turns but then kills Palpatine and takes charge of the clones and disappears) 68. Finding Peace in a Time of War by Resacon1990 ('Anakin first notices it when he’s thirteen years old and he’s been taught all about the emotions he’s not suppose to be feeling.' AniObi slash, still canon until the Order 66 attack on the Temple. Also, Mace Windu lives) 69. The Invisible Truth by lucelafonde ('Obi-Wan has a tattoo he doesn't like to talk about. Anakin keeps asking.' Anakin and Obi-Wan are soulmates. AniObi slash) 70. Does the Heart Good by LaheyHale ('Anakin and Obi Wan have a rare day off. Lots of sleeping, lots of cuddling, and lots of love with our two favorite Jedi.' Light fluff, but not enough as to qualify as humour. AniObi slash) 71. Hello From the Other Side by DarthNickels ('Kylo Ren is destined to take up the mantle of Vader. The Force can be incredibly literal.' Body swap: Darth Vader becomes Kylo Ren and Kylo Ren becomes Darth Vader. Leia isn't terribly happy about this development. Very interesting idea, well-executed so far. Vader is exactly like Vader at his darkest, and yet he shows concern and respect for his family. ' It occurred to Han just how awkward this situation actually was—here he was, having a heart-to-heart with Darth Vader, in the ‘fresher with the broken shower on the ship they’d used to outrun him for more than three years.') 72. Vignettes by Hardwood_Studios ('Anakin remembers every moment that brought them together, every moment that kept him sane.' Anakin/Obi-Wan slash. Well-written) 73. Custos by Jedipati ('The Revenge of the Sith went very differently. Now, six years later, Obi-Wan Kenobi guards the Imperial Prince and Princess from hiding, hoping that he will never have to reveal himself. Because if he did- well, he tried never to think about it.' Amazing fic, with Padmé as Empress and Anakin/Vader as Emperor-Consort. Gen, Anidala) 74. The Conversation by Eryninn ('Life after death for Obi Wan and Anakin has just about the same kind of trials as life before.' AniObi slash) 75. Dealing by CasperBleu ('When confronted with the possibility of losing each other, ObiWan and Anakin's reactions surprise everyone, including themselves.' AniObi slash) 76. we make our own love in this world by thestartoftime ('Anakin Skywalker didn't ask for a family this dysfunctional. He's got one anyway. or: sports lesbian ahsoka, student council president padme, gay nerd obi wan, and emo quarterback anakin are their own kind of family. it's kind of a beautiful story.' High School AU, AniObi) 77. Eye of the Storm by citizenjess ('Obi-Wan deals with the fallout, both physical and emotional, of Anakin's final battle with Asajj Ventress.' http:///682.html; h/c, angst, Anakin&Obi-Wan bonding) 78. Second Chances by Driverpicksthemooseic (Ratkinzluver33) ('Leia wasn't convinced inviting evil incarnate to join them in fighting the Empire was exactly one of Obi-Wan's brightest ideas.' Haven't read it in full, but I am fully certain that once I do, it will be in my top 5 favourite Star Wars fics, because it has everything I love in any fic, but especially Star Wars: time travel or de-aging, Obi-Wan in OT, Luke, Leia, Han, Ahsoka, Vader/Anakin, Skywalker family bonding, Anakin bordering on light and dark, lots of dark themes, and other delicious things) 79. Second Chances by Stodgey/Sophie ('Anakin finds Obi-Wan in his self-imposed exile on Tatooine.' http:///adult/secondchances.html; AniObi slash; suitless Vader) 80. First Meet by late_night ('Anakin first met Obi Wan Kenobi at a small diner. And it was the beginning of a beautiful partnership.' James Bond!AU, spy!AU, Double-Oh!Anakin, 007!Anakin, Q!Obi-Wan, except with the CIA) 81. Return to the Point of No Return by theascetic ('"Anakin, please-" "Don't beg me, Master,” says the last of the Sith, tenderly reaching to cup Obi Wan's hot cheek with a gore-stained hand. “Command me.” The ever-popular time travel fix-it fic... with a bit of a twist.' Time travel, obviously. Redemptive Anakin/Vader. Anakin/Vader being kept as a slave or prisoner by Obi-Wan and the remains of the Jedi Order after Vader killed the Emperor; fix-it of sorts; a Jedi-Sith bond. Done very well) 82. Night-Talk by Cara J. Loup (Han gets drunk with Lando and complains about his perfect relationship with Luke; http:///web/20071030193807/http:///newfict/night.htm) 83. The Princess, the Smuggler and the Sith Lord's Son by Sassaphrass ('Han Solo was trying to rescue her Royal Annoyingness from the Death Star when he runs smack into Vader's kid. Naturally he does the logical thing and takes him hostage. This is where the story starts. Or, Luke just wanted to get some snacks when he ran into a Wookie, a Princess and a Space Pirate. They day's pretty much downhill from there.' Luke Vader-ish; Han/Luke, AU) 84. who cares about your lonely heart by Elenothar ('After the Battle for Coruscant, Obi-Wan has wings, a Sith Lord to handle, and a former Padawan who's still not following a code of conduct for the Jedi. Facing the Sith Lord might be the easy part.' AniObiPadmé, asexual!Obi-Wan, wingfic, winged!Obi-Wan) 85. Ripples by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel ('Vader decides that the creation of the Death Star is a step too far, and finally turns against Sidious. This has a ripple effect.' Gen; sane and cunning Vader) 86. Second Chance For Everything: Padawan Mine by KatHarkness_Katara ('Obi-Wan arrives first. Still wrestling with the knowledge what his Padawan had become, he knows his best chance is to ally with his former Master, and become a Padawan himself once more. His second best chance is to leave the Order all together...' Time travel, fix-it fic) 87. Enemy of My Enemy by MissShelockHolmes ('Obi-wan knows this a bad idea. A Sith Lord wants to work with the Jedi to take down another Sith Lord and gives the Jedi command of a powerful force user whose only skill seems to be fighting? Oh yea, no way that can go badly. Also known as: Anakin gets a childhood worst than canon, Obi-wan is much too tightly laced, and they sort of fall in love on the battlefield.' Anakin/Obi-Wan, Sith!Anakin, Darth Plagueis lives and raises Anakin. It's an interesting concept: Anakin as a Sith Lord from the beginning, and then meeting Obi-Wan. This would mean that it would be one of those rare fics where Obi-Wan and Anakin are truly equals, where nobody trained the other one. I also find it interesting that Ahsoka was paired up with Qui-Gon. Why would Qui-Gon be alive, though. Would Maul not have killed in on Naboo regardless of Anakin's presence. As far as I see, the only thing that would change would be that they would not be able to get a hyperdrive as quickly, and that Qui-Gon would not antagonize Obi-Wan by saying he is ready to train Anakin at the expense of Obi-Wan. This should not affect the Naboo duel. ... Or maybe I'm looking at this too deeply. After chapter 4, the paragraphs become normal. The first four chapters, they're structured in clumps and blobs. Vader had an isolated if somewhat okay childhood. 'Sith temple is pretty. Plagueis is creepy and mean. Obi-wan helps Vader to his room and sits with him again because he does that.') 89. Echoes of Mortis by wreckageofstars ('In a universe where the Father failed to take away Anakin's vision of the future, the Hero With No Fear struggles with the knowledge of what he will become and the knowledge of who, exactly, is responsible. Drastic steps are taken and in the process things go a little bit...sideways.' You know, when there is a 'it's less of a fix-it and more of a 'ruin it differently', I don't usually take it seriously, but let me tell you, this story spirals out of control due to Palpatine being Palpatine pretty quickly, even when Anakin tries to prevent it. Sidious blackmails Anakin by threatening Padmé, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan, and regularly electrocutes him. Then the Council attacks Palpatine and is murdered by him, and Palpatine does his 'I declare this galaxy an empire' move and blames everything that ever went wrong on Anakin. Kind of a fix-it!fic, kind of but not really a time travel fic) 90. starbird by imaginarykat ('As far as Anakin’s concerned, Obi-Wan is the picture of a perfect Jedi. Anakin thinks he knows everything about Obi-Wan but doesn't. Anakin thinks a lot of things, actually, and he's wrong about most of them. Anakin's whole world view is turned upside down. Obi-Wan is having the time of his life.' Obi-Wan Gives Significantly Less Fucks Than Anyone Thinks. Obi-Wan Is Not Your Poster Child. Some humour some action some violence, some other things too. Mentions of torture. Slightly inappropriate use of the Force – Obi-Wan's playing with the food, literally. Anakin/Obi-Wan) 91. you sing it out loud, "who made us this way?" by imaginarykat ('Anakin knows what the tattoos on Obi Wan’s wrists say. Anakin Skywalker on the left one in clear, black lettering, Obi-Wan’s own elegant handwriting. Darth Vader on the right one, mangled and nearly illegible, the letters sharp and unfamiliar, surrounded by what looks like burn marks.' Soulmate AU, angst) 92.

Friendship) 93. like my father before me by penhaligon ('Everyone knows that Darth Vader had been more machine than man. Or: the disabled legacy of the Skywalkers.' Gen, angst. Luke, Rey, mentions of Vader) 94. at the crossroads of immolation by amarielah ('Obi-Wan makes a different choice on Mustafar.' Obi-Wan is tired of the people he loves dying. Sort of fix-it but not really. Obi-Wan refuses to fight and leaves Anakin and Padmé on Mustafar) 95. Shatter by Rocket_Sith ('Ahsoka leaves. Shatterpoints appear. Anakin pokes one. Reality unfolds differently, Ahsoka's not alone, Anakin puts his angst to good use, and Windu gets a well-deserved earful.' Fun with shatterpoints. Anakin throws down with the Council. Mace Windu is an epic jackass who really needs to stop talking. Ragequit is not the Jedi way, except when it is. Fix-It of Sorts. Reference to Anakin's secret scandalous marriage to Padmé. Honestly, this is very satisfying, that Anakin can throw some of the Council's bullshit back at them totally legally) 96. somewhere, this is truth by xpityx ('If Obi-Wan had entertained thoughts of getting some uninterrupted sleep once back in their shared apartments on Coruscant, then he had been sadly mistaken. He pulls himself out of the dark reaches of what he has come to assume is his own personal Hell, and allows himself one, brief sob before untangling himself from both his sweat-soaked sheets and the tendrils of nightmare that have followed him.I would never do that, he thinks, not for the first time, I would never hurt Anakin.' It's extremely angsty on Obi-wan's side, and then it suddenly does a 180 turn and is so painfully happy and pure on Anakin's side that it makes me tear up. And it has a happy and pure ending and it's perfect and you should really read it now. First kiss, AniObi, sweet) 97. A Father's Love by x Rajah x (Anakin is given the chance to come back to life post-RotJ, and help Leia battle the Dark side while undercover as Skye Nairn) 98. An Acceptable Time by SkippingSteppingStones ('When Luke and Han's hyperdrives malfunction almost simultaneously, they are dumped into a galaxy that they have each dreamed of.' Time travel) 99. And I Will Never Grow So Old Again by patientalien ('It's been ten years since the end of the Clone Wars, ten years since Order 66 and Operation Knightfall, ten years since Anakin Skywalker disappeared into exile. A new threat to the galaxy has emerged, and there is only one man who can stop it. The question is - will he come willingly?' This is not a redemption story, at least not a happy one. This fic is dark. It seems deceptively light-hearted, but it is dark and angsty and full of regret and h/c and violence and creepiness. Anakin chooses to die at the end, in order to save the galaxy from Anakin Skywalker. Then again, this is patientalien) 100. Dark Times by Treenahasthaal ('Two years after joining the Rebellion Luke is shot down during a mission and ejects from his X-Wing in enemy territory. The events that follow lead him, painfully, to his first meeting with Vader and beyond. A father/son story although it might not seem like it at first.' An original story, very well-written, with beautiful descriptions and likeable original characters. It has a good plot, though I've yet to get past the first five chapters. One of the story's biggest pros is also its biggest fault: it is almost 300k words long. The length of this story is only surpassed by Shadow of Vader's 500k) 101. Destiny & Redemption: The Rise of the Chosen One by Ranayana ('Darth Vader has killed the Emperor, but while the Force seems to be in balance again, the galaxy is not. Heroes are still needed as the fight for liberty and democracy continues. The former Sith Lord could be the ultimate ally for the Rebels, but also their greatest adversary. Can Anakin Skywalker forget his past and be a Jedi again?' Seems to be pretty good, and, more importantly, doesn't have a nauseatingly sweet and light ending. The ending is dark, and Anakin still falls back into the Dark. He does however realize that there is no Light without the Dark, and that he needs both for balance. The one part of this story is the very overused cliché of Padmé being alive. Makes me go meh) 102. The Hero Strikes Back by Beth Weasley ('The movies showed us a mild Darth Vader, but we all know that Anakin's emotions affected him greatly. Learning about Luke gives Vader a kick in the pants, rather than a mere nudge toward the Light Side.' Grammatically speaking, it is correct, but the characters are so fucking OOC that it is unbelievable. Fun Anakin&Qui-Gon bonding, although I see a distinct lack of Obi-Wan. It is also not true that the Light requires emotions. Vader's language is very informal. Oh, and Anakin's choices are very much his own, and not only Palpatine's fault as Qui-Gon would make it seem. Also, the vilification of the Unifying Force is not only wrong, it is plain rude. The Leia part is weird. She has been raised by Bail, and yet at the mere news of Anakin/Vader being her father, she says she feels more for him than she ever did for Bail. At the very least, she should be angry about the torture. So yes, good fic but if you've read anything from my Star Wars top fics list, you'll be annoyed by this one's portrayal of Anakin, Qui-Gon, Leia, and the Force) 103. Father and Son by Redandblackcatta ('After being chased by Imperial Forces, Luke crash lands on a dangerous planet, but what he finds frozen in Carbonite there may cause him to question everything he thought he knew about the universe he lives in. It gives him a chance to end the war and save his rebel friends, and it may just give him a shot of having the family that he never thought he would have.'

It doesn't go as well as he'd hoped. Be careful what you wish for - especially when what you wish for involves Darth Vader.' In which Vader does not approve of Kylo's activities and his main focus is on keeping his children alive, so he pretty much hates Kylo for threatening Luke, and for chaining himself to the Dark Side.

Smenzer's series of Luke/Vader one-shots (and anything else humor-istic from Smenzer, for the matter...) 19. Hello There!

Voicemail by Above the Winter Moonlight ('God, it's like that day during the Clone Wars all over again when no one could find you.') 41. Misunderstood by Quill of Molliemon (it does get serious and angsty later on, and those parts are good as well – seeing Vader's transformation back into Anakin is just short of glorious – but I felt as if the first half of the story–the humorous one–was more important here) 42. My Future Folds, by heartofslash. Padmé and Palpatine gossip about Anakin and Obi-Wan. Seriously, this is hilarious. 43. I Saw the News Today, Oh Boy 44.

This Life and the Next by Agent Malkere ('Luke gets an unexpected visit from an old friend.' Surprisingly deep yet amazingly in-character, utterly hilarious. Luke is visited by ghost!Han. Also, Anakin Skywalker is stalking his son-in-law. Spoilers for TFA) 49. Skywalker Family Therapy by The Hope Lions ('A little bit crackish, but in the good way. All the Skywalkers (Rey included) end up in a room working out their 'issues'. And Anakin is not amused by Ben.' Pretty funny) 50. Honestly by captainpeggy ('Poe decides he doesn't know Rey well enough and the two pilots go for a little jaunt. Or, Rey and Poe come out to each other, probably accidentally, probably in space.' Asexual!Rey, gay!Poe) 51. when love explodes by QueenWithABeeThrone ('In a post-ROTJ AU where Anakin lived and managed to get better medical treatment and reconstructive surgeries, the former Rebel Alliance is hit with the realization that, oh, shit, Darth Vader is a babe. Luke is the poor unfortunate who has to deal with this.' Crack. So. Much. Crack. Also featuring more crack. In between that, some implied hurt and comfort. But only a bit. This fic is amazing! It has oblivious!Anakin, is set post-RotJ, healed!Anakin, and asexual!Luke, and AHSOKA KRIFFIN' TANO. Bonus: Anakin's personal fan club is back, Ahsoka is plotting nefarious plans, and Luke would rather stay out of this mess, please and thank you) 52. Hi, I'm Matt by radstag ('It is no secret that the Resistance has been losing numbers over the countless months of battling with the First Order. What they don't realise is that they're going to get a new addition in the form of an unlikely technician.' Okay, so what has been written has absolutely ZERO to do with the summary unless there is a specific implied continuation, but THAT much of a continuation would need to have been written down separately. I'll quote you a better summary: '"I'm going to level with you, Kylo. This is the fifth time you have gone rampant on our equipment this week alone. We're going to have to ask you to step down temporarily."' Cue Kylo Ren goes boom with silent anger... aaaaand the fic stops right there. Once you read it, you can see how the summary is highly irrelevant to the plot) 53. pocket full of sand by philthestone ('“I’m Leia Skywalker,” she says, and there is something unfathomably life-changing about that little declaration. “We’re here to rescue you!” The Nobody Dies!AU. Leia's nine-year-old sass is the best sass. This is cute and a bit sad but also so very wonderful!) 54. too long the children's voices sing of death by philthestone ('It isn’t exactly that he’d not expected Ahsoka. In fact, her presence here makes perfect logical sense, all things considered. And it isn’t that he’s thrown by how much she’s grown, either; ten years herald the inevitable changes that accompany the passage of time, after all, and being thrown by the expected is foolish. The Force gives and takes as it wills, and time passes outside of even a Jedi’s sphere of control. And of course, the fact that she's accompanied by a chattering ten-year-old with a mop of yellow hair and a smirking, engine-grease-covered teenager is only confusing Mace more.' Funny, featuring Mace and Anakin and Obi-Wan and Padmé and Han and Luke and Leia and Ahsoka in the Rebel Alliance) 55. In Which Anakin and Obi-Wan Finally Get Their Shit Together in the Afterlife, and a Bunch of Ewoks Get Drunk with Han Solo by dapperblook (Fall_Out_Winchester08) (Cute, adorable. Anakin/Obi-Wan. Title pretty much says it all. Han gets fucking drunk with the Ewoks, and Yoda smacks anakin for being an idiot) 56. the kings and queens of promise by QueenWithABeeThrone ('Obi-wan fixes Ahsoka with a Look, and says, very gravely, “Do not let Barriss distract you with her mouth.” or: a drunken night out for the golden trio of Columbia University.' Star Wars Lawyers AU. I do not usually do AUs, but this one is too precious to resist. Anakin/Obi-Wan, Ahsoka/Barriss) 57. 5 Times Ghost Obi-Wan Helped People by BilingualBird ('5 times Obi-Wan appeared as a Force Ghost to help the younger generations out, or to knock some sense into them. Or to break a vase. After all, the Force does work in mysterious ways.' Oh, and in the other installments, Luke's weird. Like, very weird) 58. Guidelines for Working Alongside My Former Padawan by crazyundeadfairy ('Guidelines for Working Alongside My Former Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, as composed by ObiWan Kenobi.' Exactly what it says on the tin) 59. Rules for Borrowing My Jedi Master, Obi Wan Kenobi by Eryninn (Erin Maloney) (sequel to above) 60. Consequences for Hurting My Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi by Asha Dreamweaver (sequel to the above and double-sequel to the double-above) 61. Washed Clean by DarthAbby ('Pet-sitting for her favorite teacher over spring break? Check. Mysterious roommate begging to be found out? Check. Trapped over at said teacher's house during a massive storm? Check. Handsome neighbor? Check. All in all, it's turning out to be a fairly busy week for Ahsoka.' Teacher!Obi-Wan, teacher!Anakin, Professor!Anakin) 62. Signs by Lovelet ('Set during A New Hope, just after the escape from the Death Star. Leia mistakenly assumes that Luke and Han are together.' Han/Luke preslash) 63. i walk the line by PuppyWillGraham ('Han Solo is lovesick and it's all Luke Skywalker's fault.' Han/Luke, asexual!Luke, AU) 64. This Time by j_gabrielle ('Han survives and goes with Rey to find Luke. When they reach him, Han's first reaction is to punch Luke. Then kiss him.' Han/Luke, Han/Leia, probably asexual!Luke, spoilers for TFA) 65. Replaceable by evilblubber ('“So we all agree that we’re hiding Ren’s shameful crime of passion by covering it up as a pre-meditated coup?” “I’m very close to being offended, Phasma.” Kylo has a bad murder habit, Phasma panics a bit before deciding that this is actually hilarious, and Hux is the only sane person in the room.' Asexual!Phasma, Kylo Ren/Hux, protective!Kylo Ren; utterly hilarious; written as drabbles with a common plot) 66. This is Their Love by Resacon1990 ('Or, six people who notice Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker have a less than platonic relationship.' Anakin/Obi-Wan. Featuring Ferus Olin, Padmé, Rex, Quinlan Vos, Mace Windu, Dex) 67. You Shall Become (Me) by jedipati ('"How to accidentally join the Sith without really trying."' There were a few major differences between the Sith of old, and Bane's Sith Order. Dooku isn't a true Sith – Obi-Wan and Anakin are. To be a true Sith, you have to kill a Sith Lord first. One of those, 'you kill it you become it' things. Sith!Anakin, eventually Sith!Padmé, Sith!Ahsoka, Sith!basically most future Skywalkers) 68. i could teach you (but i'd have to charge) by pdotschuy ('There’s a reason Dooku starts his mornings off with four aspirin and a shot of rum.' In less than 4k words, a detailed universe was created, where everyone works at the Coruscant High School, and Anakin the mechanics teacher leads student rebellions and does dumb stuff that surprisingly doesn't get him fired, Ahsoka sets up a schoolwide vote on whether Anakin should date Obi-Wan or Padmé, and Dooku is an alcoholist because ANAKIN SKYWALKER. Also, Anakin and Ahsoka have plans involving firetrucks. It is just as hilarious and as surrealistic as Erik Lehnsherr's Guide To Parenting. As far as dry humour goes, this fic is one of the funniest in the entire Star Wars fandom) 69. Babysitting is a Many Splendoured Thing by DarthRuinous ('Anakin Skywalker asks a close friend to babysit for his and Padme's sixth anniversary. Things may not quite go as foreseen.' Hilarious. Palpatine is kind of a docile Sith Lord, and Obi-Wan alternates between smirking and mentally freaking out) 70. Futurus (-a -um) by cadesama ('Cracked hyperdrive? No problem. Just hold it together with the Force. Time travel? Well. That could be a bigger problem.' Anakin/Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, time travel to around ESB) 71. A New History by Annie Walker (Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Dooku travel back in time. Anakin is still Anakin, just as reckless and as attached as in canon. Buthje's also so freaking powerful and skilled, it's incredible. And Anakin and Obi-Wan's bond, it's the strongest bond ever felt, stronger than Anakin and Padmé's. It's like reading all the positive things about canon without any of the negative sids, while the characters stay in-character. Qui-Gon, Yoda, and Mace draw their own conclusions as to the Sith Lord's identity, and Qui-Gon thinks that the Sith is him. Anakin and Obi-Wan's lightsaber duel is more badass than any other before, and they'd be able to defeat any Jedi Master in the temple (except maybe Yoda). Anakin on his own would give Mace Windu a run for his money. Obi-Wan is the master of Soresu. Anakin's blindness to Obi-Wan's emotions is breaking my heart. and Obi-Wan's emotions themselves are breaking my heart. and Obi-Wan's willingness to clean up Anakin's messes is also breaking my heart) 72. A Monster Within by DarthObsydian ('Obi-Wan informs the Chancellor that he could be in danger from the Sith Lord, Darth Sidious.' Technically not humour, but totally funny) 73. Natural Causes by AgentMalkere ('Chancellor Palpatine dies unexpectedly of natural causes, and for some reason the galaxy seems a better place for it.' Sort of crack. Fix-it. Everyone is feeling a lot better for some reason) 74. Dooku Captured, Pt 2 by DarthNickels ('Dooku is taken alive onboard the Invisible Hand, and Sidious' web is torn. The Sith Lord wonders if death might have been preferable to clumsy interrogation by Anakin Skywalker.' Dooku is sassy and so DONE with Skywalker. Anakin&Dooku bonding via Qui-Gon. Actually, Dooku is done with the idiocy of the entire Jedi Order. Dooku dies in his duel with Sidious. Long talks in small rooms. Dooku is a cranky Sith grandpa. Redemption) 75. The Emperor's Speech by Fialleril ('Leia hates the Emperor's interminable speeches. But they're slightly more tolerable when she has someone to mock them with.' Double Agent Vader 'verse, some angst) 76. cut your heart on the high seas by puffy_pastry ('Obi-Wan panics. Or, Force visions are never a good thing.' Fix-it of sorts. Surprise kissing.

Nobody buys it. Like, seriously, nobody.' Anakin/Padmé, prequels, secret relationship, crack, humour, sweet, Anakin&Obi-Wan, Anakin&Ahsoka. Family. Everyone Lives AU, fix-it, . There is absolutely no angst. Anakin and Padme are the least subtle secret couple in the galaxy) 81. set this dance alight by QueenWithABeeThrone ('"And don't call me squirt."

Time travel, fix-it, Han&Ahsoka, Han&Obi-Wan, Anakin&Obi-Wan, Han is Force sensitive and Obi-Wan's new Padawan, Han steals ships, kind of BAMF!Han) 82. watch me stumble over and over by QueenWithABeeThrone ('“You tried,” says Leia, flatly, when Anakin shows up to tell her of his efforts after telling Luke, “to hit my son on the head.” or: Anakin Skywalker during The Force Awakens, the not-completely-serious edition.' Hilarious. Leia has a cordial relationship with Anakin. Rey is an actual cinnamon roll. Leia is 200% done with Anakin and Luke. Force Ghosts, humour, fluff, brilliant) 83. Going Steady by nymja ('“I talked to Chewie about it. We’ve decided that I’m not gonna wait for you to ask me.” There’s definitely a little drunken slur to his words. -- The proposal (and marriage) of Han Solo and Leia Organa.'

Post-TFA, ghost!Anakin, ghost!Han, Anakin&Han, sequel to 'watch me stumble over and over', Anakin and Han throw stones at Kylo to 'reverse the brain damage' from the Jedi training, hilarious, very good) 88.

Asexual!Dooku, aromantic!Qui-Gon, demisexual!Obi-Wan, very well-written, crack, humour) Ghost!Anakin: 1. force ghosts by Trillian_Astra ('Kylo Ren has wanted to speak with Darth Vader's ghost ever since he learned that Force ghosts were possible, but has never been granted the opportunity. Meanwhile, a young scavenger named Rey finds companionship with a disembodied voice that calls itself Ani.' Character piece - essentially Anakin and his grandkids. Somewhat akin to Fialleril's two oneshots about Anakin and Rey and Kylo Ren that are listed below. Wise!Anakin) 2. don't forget (your bones and skin) by Fialleril. 'Kylo Ren has spent years seeking the guidance of Darth Vader. But he never expected this. (Or, the one where Kylo and Rey have a heated existential debate about the true nature of Anakin Skywalker. And there are ghosts.)' Spoilers for TFA. In which there are failed attempts at interrogation, and Anakin is a good grandfather to both Rey and Kylo, showing both his good side and his Vader side. It's a oneshot, but it is just so well-written and magnificent. Wise!Anakin) 3. in the place that's made of old relations by Fialleril. 'The one where Rey grows up alone on Jakku. Well, not completely alone. It turns out her grandfather knows a thing or two about living in the desert.' The prequel to the abovmentioned story. A bit longer, slightly AU considering Rey owns BB-8 to begin with. Anakin tells Rey stories of Ekkreth and other Tatooine stories, teaches her the old language of Tatooine, and Padmé gives Rey The Talk. Very h/c and fluffy. Also, there are mentions of mental torture courtesy of a crashed Star Destroyer. Wise!Anakin) 4. haunting these halls by QueenWithABeeThrone ('"I'm speaking from experience here, the Rebellion had to start somewhere." Still nothing. That’s fine, Anakin is completely used to being ignored by now. or: five people who didn't hear Anakin Skywalker on Starkiller Base and the Finalizer, and one who did.' Humor, frustrated!Anakin, very enjoyable) 5. The Right Path by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel (''It's hard to idolise Darth Vader when his Force ghost tells you how awful his life was. Or, the one where Anakin's Force ghost keeps Ben on the straight and narrow, and everything works out okay.' It's surprisingly light, considering the subject. I don't know why I found it good enough for this list, but it is a very pleasant read. Grammatically speaking, it is a delight. I suppose one of the reasons why I found this fic intriguing is because this is very unlike TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel's other fics. It is surprisingly serious yet gentle. Wise!Anakin yet somewhat sassy!Anakin) 6. History loves to repeat itself (or does it?) by oncomingstorm42 ('As with every idea Anakin had, this turned out to be a complete disaster. In which Anakin wishes his family was more well adjusted and less prone to random outbursts of poor judgment.'

Also, the riveting tale of Obi-Wan Kenobi convincing his former padawan Anakin Skywalker that it is CERTAINLY NOT OKAY FOR HIS EMO GRANDSON TO BE KISSING HIS PERFECT GRANDDAUGHTER REY. Also, the equally thrilling tale of Anakin Skywalker who is just happy that his dark-side-obsessed grandson actually wants to embrace something related to the light side. (Even if that means literally embracing Rey). The saga of two conflicted grand kids, their eccentric grandfathers who happen to be ghosts, and a forbidden romance.' Crack. In which Rey is Obi-Wan's granddaughter. Non-incest Rey/Kylo Ren, Anakin, Obi-Wan) 9. To Wait and To Watch by FreelyBeYourself ('You would think that Obi-Wan, Yoda, or Anakin would have appeared in the Force to try and stop Ben Solo from heading down the path to destruction.

A Light in the Dark by QueenPersephoneofHades ('At the most critical moment, someone stops him from making the biggest mistake of his life.

It doesn't go as well as he'd hoped. Be careful what you wish for - especially when what you wish for involves Darth Vader.' In which Vader does not approve of Kylo's activities and his main focus is on keeping his children alive, so he pretty much hates Kylo for threatening Luke, and for chaining himself to the Dark Side.

The Sith and The Jedi by Lincoln Six Echo ('In an universe where Jedi and Sith coexist, Sith Master ObiWan Kenobi is joined on the battlefield by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker without knowing the Force has something planned for them.' AniObi slash) 4. The Black Library by darthrevaan (Burning_Nightingale), OwlFlight ('Imagine a world where Obi-Wan Kenobi, raised in the Sith Ways since birth, decided to give Sidious the ultimate insult by not only *refusing* to follow his plan to eradicate the Jedi but by running off, declaring himself neutral, and founding a library of Sith Lore and Artifacts called the Black Library.' Sith!Shmi as well. More headcanons: /post/117655710757/every-time-the-jedi-tick-darthlibrarianobi-wan ) 5. Fundamental Force Carriers by tanarill (time travel/body swap, redemptive Vader swaps bodies with the Anakin on Mortis. Therapy. Dark!Obi-Wan, though not the way you think) 6. You Shall Become (Me) by jedipati ('"How to accidentally join the Sith without really trying."' There were a few major differences between the Sith of old, and Bane's Sith Order. Dooku isn't a true Sith – Obi-Wan and Anakin are. To be a true Sith, you have to kill a Sith Lord first. One of those, 'you kill it you become it' things. Sith!Anakin, eventually Sith!Padmé, Sith!Ahsoka, Sith!basically most future Skywalkers) 7. Legacy by flamethrower (Obi-Wan is broken and beyond messed up by Qui-Gon's death, and is ready to do whatever it took to avenge him by killing Sidious, including joining the Sith. Very dark fic. Ghost!Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan&Dooku. Sith!Obi-Wan, dark!Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan/Jango Fett, asexual!Cody. Lots of swearing, and by that I mean being able to pick up a new vocabulary from Obi-Wan's lack of a verbal filter. I started to read it casually as a calming fic, and I did not expect to get through the entire fic in one read. Somewhat obscure and cryptic formulation sometimes, and the you have to think about the deeper meaning and paraphrasing of some sentences. Obi-Wan outwits Sidious at his own game. Obi-Wan kills Dooku, and it breaks him again and again. Anakin is a better Jedi for Obi-Wan being a Sith, and isn't it just ironic? Anakin tells Obi-Wan about his and Padmé's marriage. Honestly, I started to suspect that Obi-Wan's inner voice is Qui-Gon long before Obi-Wan himself did. 'Obi-Wan looks at him, at this Jedi Knight he somehow managed to train while half out of his mind, who is in turn training a brilliant student of his own. Qui-Gon has been after him for months, but Obi-Wan is finally—grudgingly—starting to admit that they’re his legacy, too.' Ambiguous ending, although it seems like Obi-Wan will tell Anakin the entire truth. At first, the title makes zero sense, but when you're done with it, it makes perfect sense and is the most fitting title for a fic ever. Truly fucking gorgeous fic) 8. The Rise of the Sith by Sith Master2019 (Palpatine turns Obi-Wan instead of Anakin. Vader!Obi-Wan) 9. Soldier, Poet, King by Glare ('Second chances are very rarely given, but the Force smiles upon two of its favorite children and returns them to a time before their actions have met their consequences.

Rain by pomegrenadier ('Scenes from Vette's first day on Dromund Kaas.' Dark humour because Evren. The reason why Evren doesn't leave is because he 'would then be hunted down and dragged back, possibly for re-education but far more probably for execution'. Evren is funny and weirdly honourable and nice and makes coffee at three in the morning. The bond between these two is amazing) 5. Exposure by pomegrenadier ('Roommate problems, Sith Warrior style.'

It would be a -travesty- to destroy you."' Agender!Jedi Consular, Darth Nox&Alonar, bonding over good tastes in tea) 16. Sacrifice by pomegrenadier ('In which Vette takes one for the team.' Acephobia, Sith politics. Evren's family party with a 'clan of evil murder-aunties'. Quinn's a big softie. Angst and implied torture and past abuse because Sith dinner parties. Evren has never been hugged. I'm becoming protective of someone else's game character please send help. Scars, slavery. Asexual!Evren, aromantic!Evren, LS Male Sith Warrior, gen, friendship, Evren&Vette) 17. Let It In by pomegrenadier ('With Jaesa's coaching, Evren attempts to use the light side. It does not go well.' An interesting take on a Sith reacting to the Light side: 'Too still too bright—nowhere to hide, shivering and small and helpless and ceding control to something else and all he can do is trust that it will not let him fall—a suffocatingly impersonal gentleness that isn't his—' For someone who has had control over his powers all his life, the Light is terrifying.

Angst, h/c, sickeningly fluff, awkwardness, platonic relationships. Hotel showers are evil. Evren has issues with being touched, which I happen to share. How sad is it that the one fictional character I feel like I whole-heartedly relate to is a Sith Lord from an online game? Implied torture. This character has some serious depth) 22. Complications by pomegrenadier ('Vette and Evren talk sexuality.' BLESS THIS FIC. It deals with a lot of aspects of asexuality which I find most relevant to me. Asexual!Evren, aromantic!Evren, gen, friendship, Evren&Vette. Vette is grey-bisexual, but leaning towards lesbian. Bisexual!Vette) 23. Firewall by pomegrenadier ('While the Jedi Knight and the rest of her crew recuperate, T7 and their unlikely rescuer keep watch.' So adorable. Unusual format – SWTOR droid-speak – but I believe that is what makes it amazing and neat. T7 is just wonderful, and Evren is protective. Zaarah is in the medbay. Fluff) 24. No Compromise by pomegrenadier ('Reason #462,703 why Jedi Knight Zaarah Keth worries the Council.' Because neutral doesn't mean evil. Evren agrees. The Council doesn't. Gen) 25.

Dust by pomegrenadier ('The immediate aftermath of Ziost.' Angst, h/c, but mostly angst. Gen, Evren&Vette) 28. Nomenclature by pomegrenadier ('The galaxy is getting smaller and there's no way out.' Because the previous fic was all fluff, this one is all angst.2V's memory has been wiped, the family has disbanded, Pierce is no longer Evren's, the Maelstrom is gone, and we don't even know where Vette or Jaesa or Quinn are. Evren is stuck in this nightmare and doesn't even know if any of his memories are true anymore. Panic attack because he now has truly lost everything there is to lose because Vette) 29.

The Greatest Servant by Aer ('In a world where the Jedi were a few hours later in confronting Palpatine, Sidious had enough time to try a ritual he had found in an old holocron that was supposed to summon a servant of the Emperor. He thought that would mean Anakin- but what he got, as it turns out, was something else entirely. Andrjin just wishes Emperors with god complexes would leave her alone.' Female Sith Warrior, BAMF!Andrjin, time travel, fix-it) Star Trek: Kirk/Spock: 1. By My Nature by renchan (asexual!Spock, asexual!Kirk; http:///4104.html?thread=8620296#t8620296, TOS) 2. Entering Orbit by museaway ('Jim escapes to Iowa to avoid the media frenzy following the Narada incident, but a late-night miscommunication results in Spock turning up on his front porch.' Star Trek: Into Darkness Spoilers. Falling In Love. Hot Tubs. Motorcycles, chess, domestic bliss, cooking, popcorn. Vulcan Kisses. Just about THE cutest K/S fic. The whole fic is pure domestic fluff except the epilogue which is h/c. Spock spends a month with Kirk in Iowa. There is implied sex but nothing explicit, AOS) 3. Forty-five hours in Riverside by museaway ('"I don't understand why we couldn't have done this in San Francisco," Jim said, kicking open the front door. "We're only on planet for two weeks."' Domestic fluff. Meeting the parents, Winona Kirk and Sarek. Winona/Sarek, watching your parents flirt. Riverside. Sequel to the above, AOS) 4.

Genius!Kirk, genius!Spock, protective!Spock, h/c, angst, fluff, humor, mind meld, Vulcans. Erixians. A friendly reminder that Spock has lost everything - his planet, his people, his family - and yet continues to move forward and develop. He's so much stronger mentally than Kirk, and that is not an insult to Kirk but an enormous compliment to Spock. Kirk said that surviving and living aren't necessarily the same thing. Kirk would have only been able to survive; he knows that, since he went through a similar catastrophe. Spock is able to live. Kirk is compassionate, daring, he is very good at fighting (almost as good as Spock), and speaks Russian, French, and Vulcan flawlessly. He inspires loyalty and friendship wherever he goes. Spock seems to be a bit conservative but wise and also compassionate when he allows himself to be. Pre-slash, friendship, later slash. Awesome!Crew. Kirk learned surfing, his method for dealing with grief, guitar, dog training, in a youth rescue camp. Underage dub-con flashbacks. Forced drugs. The youth rescue camp was part of the entire colony, and was deemed the weaker part. Quite possibly the best Star Trek K/S fic I'll read. 135k words. Beautiful and detailed descriptions. Jim dies (twice) but Spock resurrects him (twice). Kirk has a ridiculously long list of allergies. Spock and Kirk are telepathically bonded for life - soulmates, if you will. Perfect ending, with a very satisfying plot twist. A delusional psychopath of an admiral. In a final plot twist, Admiral Peters was killed by the not-a-black-ops team that Kirk trained in secret. Kirk is a bit overpowered compared to canon, but this makes perfect sense. Just. Read. It. BAMF!Kirk, BAMF!Spock. Bones is the crazy protective hypo-happy doctor we all know and love, AOS. Mustread!) 5. 35 minutes to midnight by lindt_barton ('It is stardate 22187.9, more commonly known as just before midnight on Christmas Eve, and Jim is sitting in a corridor at 4 o'clock on the disk...

Actions Speak Louder by Jade_Dragoness (BAMF!Spock, rescues. The one in which Spock tends in his Starfleet resignation and rescues Kirk as a civilian, and Kirk makes him go back to Starfleet. Kirk was captured to be a slave. Hurt!Kirk, AOS/TOS) 8. As Morning Shows the Day by Jade_Dragoness (De-aged!Spock, kid!Spock, young!Spock. the adorableness of this is off the roof. Even McCoy is on Team Spock. Spock still thinks humans are strange. Some creepy yet well-thought-out ideas about Spock's conception, and how he must've been very carefully artificially planned. Spock hates sickbay, presumably because he has visited it on so many occasions as a child. Wonderful Spock&Kirk&Bones bonding. Seriously. Movie nights, exploring the Enterprise, tribbles. Spock develops a crush on Kirk. It's cute and adorable and Jim worries incessantly over it. Shameless fluff, obvious angst. Kirk is forced to be a grown-up, protective!crew, humour, friendship, pre-slash. Permanent hiatus, AOS) 9. Typical by yeaka ('Bones tries to help and wishes he didn’t.' Asexual!Spock, concerned!Bones, Orions, AOS/TOS) 10. The Right Person by sheepybaa ('The first time Jim realized he was different was in ninth grade.'

Kirk has planned to spend his holiday vacation alone on the Kirk family farm. Spock has plans to stay on the ship and do research. LAME. So Kirk, on a whim, invites Spock to come along with him to Iowa for Christmas.' Friendship, Christmas, shore leave, domestic, asexuality. Permanent hiatus, AOS) 12. Acceptance by MultiplyingIcicles ('James T. Kirk, Captain of the USS Enterprise, wants to foster acceptance and unity within his crew. Even in the 23rd century, other sexualities beyond heterosexuality are stigmatized and frowned upon, so he wants his crew to know it's cool to love who you want. Of course, he doesn't accept his own. Spock, on the other hand, accepted he wasn't heterosexual after the end of his relationship with Nyota. Realizations are made, and kisses happen.' Asexual!Spock, bisexual!Kirk, LGBT-friendly, TOS) 13. Brands of Desire by WerewolvesAreReal ('Jim is finally getting used to living in San Francisco, but finds that his dates with Antonia aren't keeping his attention. Meanwhile, Spock is acting distant.' Asexual!Spock, TOS. There is something to be said for this fic, and it is that it is incredible and fabulous and writes asexuality so authentically and without judgement) 14. Marriage of True Minds by Farfalla the Butterfly-Kitten ('Kirk is hiding something.' http:///spirk/true.html; asexual!Spock, mentions of masturbation, no sex, TOS) 15. Unwritten Fate by CinnamonSecrets ('Jim considers what his best option is given that he is no longer the Captain of the Enterprise.' Captain!Spock, Commander!Kirk, First Officer!Kirk. Very slow burn K/S. Amazing fic, 160k words. I'm going with my headcanon: asexual!Spock) 16. Definitions by WerewolvesAreReal ('"We call it t'hy'la," Spock says.' Character study, pre-slash K/S, t'hy'la, mind melt, five year missions, romance. Honestly, this is the only kind of K/S that I'll read with pleasure: sweet, very light pre-slash with minimal kissing and no sex. Mostly mental bonding. Fantastic oneshot. I'm going with my headcanon: asexual!Spock. TOS) 17. Family Ties by tiger_in_the_flightdeck ('While investigating some mysterious deaths, Bones comes up with the idea of seeking assistance from Spock's famous ancestor. Sherlock solves the case inside ten minutes, but finds it a good chance to learn as much as he can about Spock.' Crossover with Star Trek, Johnlock, time travel, fluff, casefic for all of ten minutes. Sherlock and Spock bonding over their captains. TOS) 18. The Trouble with Normal by Cinnamon secrets ('It's time for the Enterprise's performance evaluation. Too bad that on this ship, 'normal' gets a whole new meaning.' Hilarious humour. McCoy's answers are the best. The assumption that Spock is always near Kirk is the next best thing. AOS) 19. The Quickest Way by opal_bullets ('Jim is infatuated with his first officer, but nothing gets past that Vulcan exterior. He has no choice but to enlist the help of his crew.' I love how it seems it's Kirk's seduction of Spock when in reality it is Spock's gorgeous chess seduction of Kirk. And it was subtle as hell and lasted MONTHS. AOS. Amazing, BAMF!Spock, genius!Spock) 20. A Shot of Courage by notboldly ('As the Enterprise’s unofficial chaperone, Spock was familiar with the human tendency towards intoxication. However, he had not expected Kirk to be susceptible.' Christmas, impotence, romance, friendship, intoxication, AOS) 21. Truth Be Told by Lyricoloratura ('When they were obliged to take their host's truth serum, neither Jim nor Spock had considered what kind of "truth" they might reveal to one another - or to themselves. An already interesting away mission goes far differently than planned...' Truth serum which also lowers inhibitions, alien cultures. Average plot, good writing) 22. a sequence that you never learned by annataylor ('When Jim gets it in his head to adopt an eight year old Vulcan, Spock presents a logical solution to the issue of Jim's humanity: marriage to a Vulcan citizen.' Sorek and Spock are adorable. Flustered Vulcans are adorable. Everyone in this fic is adorable. Spock knows how to bullshit on master level. BAMF!Spock, badass!Spock. Vulcan parenting. Parent!Spock, parent!Kirk. A bit too much sex for my liking, but oh well. I honestly didn't think much of the summary upon reading it, but the fic itself is brilliant, and it has plots and subplots and subplots to subplots. AOS. Definitely worth a read) 23. The Body Swap by losingmyangelgrace ('When being beamed back aboard the Enterprise after a successful mission Jim and Spock learn that spikes in ion levels can have some unfortunate consequences.' Body swap, some smut, AOS) 24. Heart's A Mess by keltieful ('On his way to dinner with Spock, Jim sees Bones giving him a Valentine's Day card. Cue freak out.' Valentine's Day.

Xenophobia from a Vulcan's POV, prejudice, TOS) 29. Optimistic by q_urious ('Materialization was instantaneous, and yet it felt too slow. His mind was rushing at light-speed, the usually orderly and unforgivingly logical thought processes in tatters. It was only when his arms were relieved of their burden that he dropped to his knees, all his jumbled thoughts converging to one damning realization. I could have been too late.' Captain!Spock, Commander!Kirk, Science Officer!Kirk, First Officer!Kirk) 30. Five and One: I Wanna Hold Your Hand by Penbrydd ('Spock's flirting is totally unintelligible to Kirk, but it's enough to make the Ambassador's entourage retch.' The Ambassador is Sarek, not Spock, AOS probably) 31. Home by Lanaea ('A misshap brings the Enterprise back to Earth for a while.' The first chapter is good, haven't read the rest. AOS. Slash later) 32. Amanda Enlightens Jim by WeirdLittleStories ('Spock's mother has a productive conversation with James Kirk, one that dismantles some of the assumptions Jim has had about Spock. Amanda smiled. "You just don't understand Vulcan sexuality, that's all, Jim. Human sexuality is like a light bulb, whereas Vulcan sexuality is like a laser."' TOS) 33. Public Displays of Affection by aetin ('Various ways crewmembers find out about their superior officers' romantic entanglement.' Light-hearted, silly fic.

Prince!Spock, king!Spock, royal!Spock, prince!Kirk, royal!Kirk, well-written but slangy) 35. The Plan by Jonsdottir ('Valentines suck. Jim decides that the only way to get rid of annoying propositions is to fake a relationship with Spock. Now all they have to do is get caught in a compromising position by someone in the crew so the word will spread. Piece of cake. Right?) 36. A Series Of Unfortunate Misunderstandings by Jonsdottir ('The supposed epic romance of Spock and Jim. How it began and why people think they're 'doing it'. Preslash. Misunderstandings galore and pathetic attempts at humour. Fear it.' Prequel to the abovementioned fic. Hilarious) 37. Going Up by MrsEclipse9856 ('Jim knew better than to get in an elevator when the threat of power blackouts is going around. He does it anyway.' Kirk is Gaila's stepbrother, modern AU) 38. Of Failed Attempts and Taking Chances by LeandraLocke ('Things were coming to an end, or so it looked like, at least. To a really, really bad and horribly wrong end that made Leonard wonder whether there was any way left at all to fix it.' Sequel to the fic above) 39. what is love? (no, really) by serenfyrr ('In which Jim lacks every single interpersonal communication skill, so it takes him a while to figure out he's aromantic.' Humor, crack. Jim Kirk Fails at Life, Bones Should Get Better Friends. Jim is an Adult He Swears. Aromantic!Jim, Gary Mitchell is a Scapegoat for Jim's Internal Problems. AOS) 40. Start Infinity Again by Rynne ('Kirk survives Generations and reunites with Spock. He finds adapting to life nearly eighty years in the future is hard enough, but then a star about to go supernova threatens Romulus, and Kirk and Spock have to deal with Captain Nero and the strange new universe they follow him into.' Saavik is the only person I'd be okay with Spock spending the rest of his life with, if we're talking about pon farr. Honestly, she's the only person who seemed to understand him and not desire him as a lover but like him as a friend. Theirs would be a friendship bond with a bit of sex every seven years for necessity. While Valeris was the character who was the most similar to Spock and could have succeeded him had she not betrayed the Federation, Saavik was different from Spock but compatible enough to be able to form a Vulcan marriage. (My personal headcanon, of course, is that Spock's pon farrs went away after that first one that was interrupted by Kirk's 'death'.) But yes, amazing fic which incorporates TOS and AOS in a beautiful way. Kirk and Spock Prime's relationship is so pure and heartbreaking and beautiful. They are t'hy'la and k'hat'n'dlawa (soulmates). I love how Nero got the backstory he bloody well deserved, and his feelings were explored, and Spock's intentions concerning reuniting the Vulcans and the Romulans were explained. Also wonderful plot and nice mix-up of Next Gen's characters. There was one week from when I read this story's summary until I actually got around to reading the fic, and during that week, my expectations grew to quite honestly abnormal sizes – and yet this fic met each and every one of them and exceeded them by far. It's an amazing fic that everyone should read) 41. So Wise We Grow by Deastar ('"Commander Spock, we have located your son," the Vulcan lady on the screen says, which would be great, except Jim can tell by the look on Spock's face that he's never heard of this kid before in his life. "If it is expedient, the child will be sent to join you on the Enterprise within the week."' Storek is a treat. A pain in the ass most of the time, but so very lovely. Father!Spock, father!Kirk, parenting is tough. This is one of my favourite Trek fic, I love everything about it. I love the characterisation, I love Storek, I love the description, I love the slow build of Spirk, I just love it all the pieces. And you will too. Kirk and Spock are daddies, what’s not to love? Go read it. Funny yet deep, with lots of h/c and angst and fluff and chess. Brilliant, mustread) 42. Take This Sinking Boat (And Point It Home) by sinestrated ('In which Spock pines, Jim isn’t stupid (except he kind of is), and Christopher Pike has had enough of this bullshit.' Post-STID. Pikes lives and is badass and plays matchmaker. BAMF!Pike but we all know that already, matchmaker!Pike) 43. The Kiss by Amanda Warrington (TOS. Jim being hesitant but not because of being sexually attracted to a guy but because of being in love with a guy and having to form a monogamous lifelong telepathic bond. Also, a gay singles bar. http:///viewstory.php?sid=795&warning=1) 44. A Logical Formula for Love by doubleplusawesome ('A situation where Spock is in the early stages of pon farr, and Jim helps him take a cold water bath to try and alleviate some of the fever already coursing through him. Spock wonders at why this man should love him like he does, and Jim comes up with a very creative, totally logical answer. Post-TMP. Spock's second pon farr and they haven't had sex yet. Asexual!Spock, sex-repulsed!Spock. As far my asexual understanding goes, sexual attraction is something mental and not biological – which is a sexual need – and Spock still feels no attraction, ergo asexual. Angst, emotional h/c. Definitely one of my favourite Star Trek fics. TOS) 45. Love Does Not Equal Sex by WeirdLittleStories ('He's my partner, my permanent life partner, and that's different than being a friend, even a very good one.' This analysis of their relationship is spot-on. TOS, non-sexual relationship although Spock's not asexual; Kirk is het) 46. Nothing Short of Everything by Tey'Imena ('or, five times Spock gave up everything for James T. Kirk, and one time Jim gave up everything for Spock.' Kirk everntually loses command of the Enterprise, and Spock bgoes withhim. Later Spock becomes comatose. Deep relationship. More profound fic than I'd expect and oh the title, I just realized what it meant) 47. Creep by littlebirdtold ('Jim is a fandom nobody who has been crushing on a famous BNF writer for ages. Too bad the BNF in question doesn't know of his existence. Features grumpy_b, also a fandom nobody (who is damn happy to be one), and nero001, the biggest wanker in Star Trek: TOS fandom.' University AU.The story is amazing and so 200% accurate description of what actually happens, it is so funny it's not even funny. And all the fandoms are mentioned: Supernatural, Sherlock, Star Trek, even Inception. Kirk is extremely sub. They don't find out their true identities in the end, but they don't actually need to. It's perfect) 48. Ink Stains by demonllama1 ('Jim wakes up with Spock's name tatooed on his ass.' Hilarious. AOS. Vulcans mark their mates. /8222.html#cutid1) 49.

Creature of the Night by FagurFiskur ('In which Jim is a vampire slayer and Spock is a creature of the night.' Vampire!Spock, Count Spockula, vampire hunter!Kirk. More or less PWP.

Professor!Spock, military!Kirk. http:///14468.html?thread=13478276) 55. Kirk’s Guilty Pleasure - Old Holovids About Vulcans by anonymous ('Jim pines for Spock and watches horribly inaccurate soap opera holovids featuring Vulcans, until Spock finds out.' It would be highly illogical not to educate the captain about the inaccuracy of the videos, would it not? Funny and so intentionally cheesy but so good. http:///15838.html?thread=14933726 56. Soul mates in every universe except apparently this one by anonymous ('Jim is pining for Spock, and could probably live (just) with this if it weren’t for the fact he keeps on being sucked into alternative universes where James Kirk and Spock are bonded and madly in love.' Both Jim and Spock are so heartbreaking about their feelings and how they don't see that the other is in love with them. Fem!Kirk (Jane) is THE BEST. Fem!Spock. Gender swap, or, more accurately, always a different gender. Alternate universes. Blatant pining and idiots in love. http:///15838.html?thread=15351774) 57. You're Grounded by orphan_account ('“What do you mean you’re grounding me?” Kirk asked, exasperated. “Look, Kirk, no one in Starfleet thinks you are anything less than a brilliant captain, but the fact of the matter is that this is the third time we’ve had to dock the Enterprise due to the extent of the damage you’ve incurred on her. That’s more times than half the men on this board ever had to dock their starship due to damage in their whole career! No one is willing to stand down to give you a ship, and Starfleet won’t let you on anyone’s ship because, let’s face it, somehow you’ll end up in charge.”' Basically Kirk destroys the Enterprise more than is humanly possible and is grounded on Earth during repairs. AOS, light slash) 58. Veritas by TheProblematique ('Captain James T. Kirk and Lieutenant Commander Spock are hereby charged with negligence and wanton misconduct due to their emotional compromise with each other.' Spock Prime outargues everybody on Kirk and Spock's behalf. Also, there are hidden plots and assassination attempts and past lovers being jealous and Vulcans being jealous and yeah you can probably guess which part of the sentence referenced to which part of Spirk. Pike is supportive but gleeful as fuck. Pike's mental age is approximately five and a half. Spock gets the talk from Bones, Uhura and the Navigation and Piloting Department, and Kirk from the Enterprise's Science Department.. The Engineering Department is staying out of it but totally taking bets. Spock Prime derives perverse enjoyment from Kirk having to talk to Sarek. There's humour and angst and h/c and fluff and schmoop – oh the schmoop. The story is long, it's over 180k words, but it's worth it. Every single word. It is so obviously a mustread, it hurts to have to point it out. AOS) 59. When soul meets body by theycallmesuperboy ('In 2194 TiMERS, devices that count down to the exact moment one meets their soulmate, are invented. In 2244, Spock's parents specially request a Matchmaker to be sent to Vulcan to give their son a TiMER. In 2249 Jim Kirk gets a TiMER as his first act of rebellion against his mom, who never wanted him to go through the heartbreak she did when losing her soulmate. In 2258 Jim Kirk is court martialed for cheating on the Kobayashi Maru sim, and makes eye contact with his soulmate. In 2258 his soulmate rejects him. OR: canon era Soulmate AU, where Jim and Spock are soulmates and EVERYBODY knows it.' Soulmate AU, soulmate timers. The hurt and the angst and oh the pain is so wonderfully done here. I'm a sucker for the emotionally angsty and hurtful fanfics, so this is an amazing fic. It's a rewrite of the reboot with soulmate AU, and it is an absolute mustread) 60. The One by verizonhorizon ('After the Kobayashi Maru hearing, Spock seeks out Cadet Kirk off Academy grounds to elucidate a few points. He expects a stimulating debate but finds more stimulation than he bargained for. Given that encounter, what would have happened if Spock had not marooned Kirk on Delta Vega?' Mental torture. Captain!Spock, later Captain!Kirk since Spock resigns his Captaincy of the USS Adamant, though I suspect he keeps the title) 61. Spice by eimeo ('It’s a question of biology. Vulcan biology. The problem with falling in love with a member of an insanely private species is that it just might take you the best part of a five year mission to work out that the feelings are requited. And then you might discover that he’s already decided that the two of you can never be together. And what are you supposed to do if he won’t tell you why?' Brilliant description of Kirk and Spock's first months commanding together and the resulting antagonism. This is beautiful and poetic and angsty oh so angsty, and gorgeous. The descriptions are a wonder. 'Kirk stands shoulder to shoulder by his dress-uniformed First—casually close, but also casually distant, and it occurs to him, suddenly, that this is how they’ve always stood: as colleagues, as friends and as lovers; almost—but not quite—touching, for all the years they’ve known each other. There was, quite literally, no other way for this to go but where it has gone, and he’s only left to wonder how it took him half a damned mission to realize it was love. Kirk feels a wide, easy grin melt the tension from his face and from the room in these final moments before Spock is called back to the transporter platform, back to their bridge: no wonder there are rumors about them.' This is the very definition of a slow burn. The one in which Kirk got married after the five-year mission to another Admiral, and she died, but her memory ended up living on. Mustread!) 62. Lyre, Lyre by vulcansmirk ('Kirk really should have expected this. He really, really should have. It seemed like the transporter malfunctioned every other time they used it. But it had been almost a year since the last major transporter fuckup, and he’d let his guard down. And now there were two Spocks.' AOS, Spock is divided like Kirk in that one good vs evil episode, except here it's Vulcan!Spock vs human!Spock) 63. Of Convenience by Annenburg ('Kirk needs to get married for political reasons. Spock offers himself as the logical choice.' I've read the first four chapters and can vouch that they are brilliant, but I cannot say anything for the other eight. There's an mpreg warning for later chapters) 64. This is Probably a Terrible Idea by statamater ('Pretty much everyone, given enough time, will want to screw Jim Kirk - species, gender, or previous sexual identity notwithstanding. So why the hell is it taking Spock so long to notice him?' Pining!Kirk, romance, AOS, slash, angst, humour, mind meld. Jim and Spock are being ridiculous. McCoy at least has the sense his mother gave him. Past Spock/Uhura) 65. Medical Leave (the Brain Bleach remix) by sabrina_il (marina) ('Bones makes a mental note to hang an emergency glass case of brain bleach in the infirmary.' AOS, gen, irregular pon farr) 66. Enterprising Young Men by amosanguis ('Kirk has a habit of adopting members of his crew. Spock is no longer amused.' First they adopt Sulu, then Chekov, then Riley. AOS, K/S, cute) 67.

It follows from TMP to ST:VII. The first four chapters are cute, the fifth is kind of foreboding, and the sixth breaks your heart. TOS. Brilliant six-shot featuring Saavik, Peter Kirk, and others) 72. Rebel Hearted Prince by MultiplyingIcicles ('Prince Spock of Vulcan hadn't given much contemplation to the thought of marrying a noblewoman. He would rather study, maybe attend the Vulcan Science Academy. Cue Queen Amanda and her longing for her son to marry and have children. She arranges a ball for Spock's 18th birthday, inviting interplanetary dignitaries and Starfleet Admirals. At 18, Spock didn't think he'd ever find someone he found compatible, until a blond boy in the corner captured his attention with talk of temporal-spatial anomalies and Romulan conspiracies.' Prince!Spock) 73. My Husband, Attend by mightymads ('The encounter with V’ger gave Spock the answer the Masters of Gol could not. He seems content. It’s difficult to tell, so Jim has resigned himself to keeping distance. But then Spock proposes, which entails going to Vulcan, learning vows in Vulcan, wearing Vulcan robes - the whole nine yards.'

Vampire!Spock, telepathic!Uhura, empathic!Uhura, police!Kirk. Reminds me of Buffy a bit, but it is so brilliant. On permanent hiatus) 77. Some Cupid by summerofspock ('Tired of their childish fighting, McCoy sets out to set up Jim and Spock. Antics ensue. (i.e. that time i wrote Much Ado About Nothing using Kirk and Spock)' The 4,5 chapters were nice and smutless, the last half of the last chapter was just pure smut of mediocre quality. The fic in total was very nice though, and should be read. Oblivious!Spock, Oblivious!Kirk) 78. Not Yet (Now) by sunkissedmorning ('Five times James T. Kirk refused to surrender (and the one time he didn't)' Romance, fluff, some h/c and angst, cute, a bit of pining!Kirk, oblivious!Spock, stubborn!Kirk, AOS) 79.

However he wasn’t ready for the things the crew talked about the Captain.' Misunderstandings, oblivious!crew, gossip, AOS, not-so-implied Kirk/Spock slash.

But in this case, it's Spock who doesn't quite approve of Winona.orWhere Winona hasn't been Mom of the past twenty-eight years, Spock quite explicitly defends Jim's honor and there is some cuddling. Also character reflection. And a companion piece coming up. It's better than it sounds I promise.' So gorgeous. This fic is angsty with a fair share of h/c, and it is so beautiful I might cry. AOS, BAMF!Spock) 81. The Slightest Slip-Up by Boldly_Gone ('Kirk and Spock accidentally reveal their relationship to the world when Jim steps on Spock's foot during a press conference.' So fluffy and cute. Kirk calls Spock 'honey' by mistake, and they kiss in public. Ish. Slash, obviously. AOS) 82. The Togetherness Thing by EntreNous ('When Lieutenant Sulu and Ensign Chekov both contract a mysterious ailment, Captain Kirk and the rest of the Enterprise's crew must rush to a system of planets that may hold the cure. OR, Jim Kirk has to deal with the fallout when Sulu and Chekov stop being best friends and basically suck all of the metaphorical sunshine off the Enterprise. And on top of that, it turns out Jim might not be as awesome at hiding his secret relationship with Spock as he thinks.' Light angst, K/S, Sulu/Chekov, accidental bonding, humour, friends to enemies, AOS) 83. Within Reach by littlebirdtold ('Four years into the Enterprise's voyage, Spock dies in a transporter accident on a routine mission. Jim slowly falls apart and develops an unhealthy obsession that, ultimately, brings Spock back.' AOS but so very well done. Painful and addictive and gorgeous fic. Spock is presumed dead though he's just trapped inside the transporter. Oblivious!Kirk, angst, fluff, h/c, straight!Kirk, obliviously pining!Kirk; everyone thinks they're together except Uhura who tells Kirk to stop dicking around with Spock's feelings. This is one of my favourite Star Trek fics and is a complete mustread!) 84. Xenolinguistics, Astrophysics, and Love: The Complete Education of a Starship Captain by chiralove ('If it was Spock Kirk was trying to pick up in that bar, instead of Uhura.' It's not that they're together often, or that he's seen them touching again, it's just that it isn't him with Spock. He's Jim fucking Kirk, and he's pulled out all his sweetest seduction routines, and Spock hasn't even batted an eyelash.' Genius!Kirk. Xenolinguistics, mathematics, literature, philosophy. Like half of the fic is about philosophy. Gorgeously written. Beautiful breakdown at the end, and it is kept so perfectly in-character and adheres to the reboot movie. A mustread!) 85. Aces and Spaces by WeSangDirges ('Jim has always been this way, at least as far as he knows. He’s never felt the need for those moments of passion - those hidden encounters in beds and dark rooms, on the dirt in the rows and rows of waving corn. He’s never burned for sex like the people around him seem to.' Asexual!Kirk, probably asexual!Gaila, asexual!Spock, asexual relationship. Powerful and incredibly well-written. Loved this story with all my heart. It managed to hit all my headcanons, so wow. Pon farr at the end, so angsty and painful and h/c. AOS. Mustread for asexual people – actually, mustread for everyone) 86. Fall Into Your Gravity by Jaylee1Toddler ('Spock and Jim meet at a Starfleet function and bond. One would think meeting one's soulmate at so young an age would make courtship fairly easy… Not so much. Features culture differences and two boys unwilling to discuss feelings.' Spock's emotions are heartbreaking. At first it's cute because kids. Then it's kind of sad and angsty because Jim wants so badly for Spock to just like him and talk to him normally, and then it's heartbreaking because you find out that Spock has loved Jim all along but has been brought up not to show it and it's such a massive communication failure, it's indescribable. And then it's cute again. AOS, pre-slash then light slash. Perfect. T'hy'la, Winona&Amanda, Sarek's A parenting. Mustread) 87. Spock, is that you? by TFALokiwriter ('Imagine losing all your friends and then, near to the end of your life, going into a alternate universe. Now imagine if you are one of those friends who sees their aged, logical Vulcan friend after appearing in the flesh from beyond the grave, somehow. Now, imagine, the whale probe comes earlier than it should and leaves neutralized starships in its wake.' Basically a family creates a transporter that somehow stores a person's soul when they teleport, and bring McCoy Prime to AOS, and Spock and McCoy Prime go humpback whale hunting. The AOS Enterprise crew is on different ships: Spock is captaining the Enterprise, Kirk is captaining the Saratoga (and went into stasis pods because their life support failed prob because of the probe), Scotty's helping fix the transporter, Uhura is First Officer to Spock, McCoy is on Earth living with Joanna, and Chekov and Sulu are married on the Scottendale. Oh, and McCoy Prime is Captain. And he is in is 60s though he remembers up until he died in his 140s. I love the bond between Spock Prime and McCoy Prime. Though Spock Prime is a bit OOC, that might be attributed to him being in his 160s and having lost basically everything and realized that emotions are not always to be shied away from. It does bother me that he does not speak formally, but I suppose that could be overlooked. A Romulan starship, in Klingon, captained by a Vulcan reality shifter with a Terran reality shifter SIC, goes on to travel back in time to kidnap a pair of humpback whales to save Earth. Loved the Trump cameo. Q is the grandfather of Admiral Janeway, and Jack Harkness is a Q. Spock and Q friendship. This is like the reverse universe in every way: Nimoy is playing Kirk and Shatner Spock, George is pregnant instead of Grace. Whale probe, starship problems, whale problems, time travel, best friends saving the world. AOS universe with some TOS characters, gen, past Spirk slash. Easily read, very much suggest you read this) 88. Harnessing Starfire by Sherza ('The Enterprise has a crew unlike any other. They are the best and brightest that Starfleet has to offer, the vast majority of them are painfully young, and they are largely untried. They are led by the most unpredictable and explosive duo that has ever graced Starfleet Command. All eyes are on the Enterprise, the boatload of children who succeeded where an entire armada failed. Depending on who you talk to, they are heroes, villains, or ignorant, blindingly lucky upstarts. After their rather explosive beginning, how will the Enterprise and her command crew fare?' AOS. Love this, and especially this Uhura. Winona's A parenting sucked. Kirk&Uhura friendship. BAMF!Uhura, BAMF!Kirk, Pike is Amused, Bones is a hypo-ninja, Chekov is a troll, Sulu is insane, Making Admirals Cry, T'hy'la, Spock Prime needs his Kirk, Bigotry and Prejudice, Xenophobia, attempted genocide, grief, PTSD, badassery, Kirkian Diplomacy, Pon Farr. Explains what triggered the xenophobia against Spock in Vulcans. T'Pau is an ancestor of Spock's. BAMF!Amanda because wow. Spock shared a parental bond with Amanda. BAMF!Sarek, Sarek is awesome. Logic can be twisted to basically say anything. Seriously, this Sarek is an amazing parent, and very protective. No T'Pring because Sarek out-logicked everyone. He is my new hero. Spock went to Starfleet with his parents' full approval. Uhura is awesome and totally not a bitch. 'Jim was literally incapable of giving up.' Jim actually being the one to enforce food breaks for a change. Very good characterization of a survivor of starvation and Tarsus IV. Bones is the one not eating or sleeping whenever there is an emergency. Komack is being an ass. I love the realistic description of the days following the destruction of Vulcan and the defeat of the Narada. Also, Kirk making Admirals cry is my favourite thing. BAMF!Chekov, playing up his innocence. Sorry, but Scotty's interrogation was THE BEST. The interrogations were described in just perfect length each: not too long-winded but not lacking in interesting or relevant details, either. Seriously, this is just as amazing, or even more so, than Atlas. AOS. An absolute mustread!) 89. Arguably Insane by Jaylee ('Kirk and Spock’s relationship through the eyes of another crew member.' AOS. The one with the spot-on funny descriptions, the neat OCs, and the voyeurism and coming without even touching themselves. http:///viewstory.php?sid=4551&warning=1) 90. 51 fic where Spock moves into Kirk’s quarters and members of the crew are given the first officer’s quarters, but leave after hearing Spock and Kirk have loud sex through the walls by anonymous (The title is basically the summary. Chekov found the solution: sound-proof earbuds. Chekov is adorably innocent and adorable in general. http:///14468.html?thread=14185092#t14185092. AOS) 91. Take Me (To Your Leader) by luminousbeings ('"My name is Spock,” says Spock. He stares at Jim’s hand until the Human finally drops it back to his side. “What do you want in return for your compliance as my Human hostage?” "The privilege of punching President Trump in the face?” Jim suggests.' Funny, modern AU, good prompt, AOS 92. More or Less by 1lostone ('Spock can never quantify his feelings for one James Tiberius Kirk.' A bit OOC on Spock's side, but tear-inducing nonetheless. Beautiful, AOS, Star Trek: Beyond) 93. Falling Objects by museaway ('The Nexus releases Kirk in the year 2254, but he soon realizes that this isn't his universe. Too many things are different, so many details are wrong. He prepares to face the future alone—until he's reunited with an old friend.' Kirk Prime/Spock Prime, Kirk/Spock.

What Keeps Us Alive by girlofshadowsandstars ('The definition of life is somewhat relative.' Post-ST:B) 95. immense heaven by malfaisant ('After the party, Jim's feeling mopey, and Spock's feeling philosophical.' AOS, post-ST:B. Spock first makes a science analogy and recites a lot of laws, and then makes it work in real life. This essay gets A for practical application) 96. Catharsis (Conversations with the Crew) by YRU ('A few months on, a restless Spock is still unable to cope with his newfound sense of ineluctable loss. Even if he had not lost Jim altogether, the knowledge that he eventually would, and of how that would feel, gnaws away at him. As nightmares and flashbacks plague the half-Vulcan, logic points to emotion as the answer, and Spock finds himself — once again — pushed to his wit’s end by the enigma that is Jim Kirk. (In which Spock's conversations with his fellow crew members draw his feelings for Jim Kirk out.)' Post-ST:ID, AOS) 97. Favourite by yeaka ('Bones not seeing the writing on the wall brings it to light.' Post-ST:B, trio bonding but Spirk pre-slash, Bones being Bones. AOS ) 98. Across The Universe by notfreyja, Straight_Outta_Hobbiton ('Most people don't give their best friend homework. Jimmy Kirk is not most people.' Pen pals!AU, pre-slash Spirk, really adorable, kid!Spock, young!Spock, kid!Kirk, young!Kirk, Kirk living onboard the Farragut, Kirk getting Spock drunk on chocolate. AOS. Part of a series) 99. You'll Get There in the End (It Just Takes a While) by seperis ('"Spock. Just say 'I don't trust Starfleet not to mess up the only captain in the fleet who I can train up to my expectations and enjoys running into danger wearing a blindfold as much as I do'."' The one where Spock has been running the Enterprise for Kirk for the first three months because he wanted for Kirk to get comfortable in his new position before making any changes, and Kirk feels like he is not allowed to do anything on his own damn ship, so he institutes bi-weekly meetings between him and Spock so that Spock can tell him 'what it is that keeps us from a quick but hideously painful death in by implosion in the vacuum of space', and so that Kirk can teach Spock about Star Wars references. Kirk also steals parts of Scotty's still so that Scotty will let him have some time alone with the warp drive for once. Nyota is an awesome third-in-command. The one in which Spock Prime had a bond with Kirk Prime, and the bond recognized Kirk and somehow copied over Spock Prime's pon farr down to the exactly same time window, and Kirk and Bones tried to contain it but failed, and Spock decided to adjust his pon farr cycle to match Kirk's and bond with him because affection and jealousy over Spock Prime and also because Spock feels that Kirk trying to hide his pon farr to protect Spock Prime from the consequences is illogical as hell. Jim Kirk goes through pon farr. Love the writing fashion and the time skips: the first scene begins at the end of the fic, the following scene takes place at the beginning of the fic, then we are back to somewhere after the first scene, and so on, until the beginning catches up with the first scene. It is chronologic yet very non-linear, and I love it. It is unique. A unique take on Kirk's Kobayashi Maru reasoning. The Kobayashi Maru was based on one of Spock's experiences when he was on a transport that came under attack and exploded and there was nothing anyone could have done to prevent that (it should be noted, however, that the captain of that ship was a coward). So no, Spock wasn't just being an asshole when he wrote that test. This is the first fic that actually defends Spock's side in this. 'No matter what you do, what you are, how hard you work, how far you've come, how much you are willing to give up, you will never be good enough. And there's nothing you can do to change that. The question the Kobayashi Maru asked was, what will you do if there is no chance of success? What will you do when every choice means failure? And my answer is, you only fail when you stop trying. A no-win only exists when you believe in it. Until then, everything is possible.' Kirk goes through pon farr because of Spock Prime's memories. Telepathy. AOS. Mustread!) 100. Ship's Night by Albukirky ('An unexpected incident prompted Jim Kirk to admit his feeling to the one person he truly loves.' Sweet oneshot, with very nice portrayal of the triumvirate, TOS, matchmaker!Bones of sorts. The one with Spock being unconscious in sickbay and Kirk confessing his love for Spock to Bones, unaware that Spock wasn't actually unconscious. Very good!) 101. Defending Vulcanity by WeirdLittleStories ('Kirk gets some advice about wooing Spock from an unusual source. (No, not McCoy. No, not Amanda. No, not Sarek. :-D)' Totally in fucking love with T'Janna. Love this take on a half-human half-Vulcan. Though she may seem like a Mary Sue, it is clear, if you think about it, that Spock is still the more awesome of the two, and that she serves as providing contrast and alternative choices of what Spock could have become, and honestly, I prefer Spock the canon way. Spirk pre-slash, Kirk is obvious, someone knocks their heads together. T'Janna is Spock's half-Vulcan half-human cousin on his mother's side, except she grew up on Earth, so she's a lot more expressive and identifies as human, while Spock identifies as Vulcan. Spock geeking out over unusual viri. Mustread) 102. They Say Vulcans Can't Lie by WeirdLittleStories ('James Kirk learns — in a somewhat unusual way — why people say that Vulcans cannot lie.' Vulcans cannot lie during mind melds, but everyone assumes they cannot lie verbally. Kirk is arrested on a newly-discovered planet and has to be married to a 'stable and strong mind', which Spock qualifies as. A unique twist on the marry-or-die scenario, with Kirk in the unfortunate role for once. Very good) 103. A Logical Form of Relationship by WeirdLittleStories ('Jim wonders why a relationship that can't produce offspring is accepted by Vulcans, and Spock explains how logical it is.' GODS THIS IS GENIUS. A lot of the stories I read have Kirk and Spock talking about the fact that their relationship won't produce any children, with one or both of them worrying that such a relationship will be seen by Vulcans as illogical. But it seems to me that putting together "MUST mate" with "Vulcan is a DESERT" with "Vulcans live for 200 years" leads to the conclusion that gay relationships would be not just accepted but actually encouraged. This deserves the Nobel Prize equivalent in Star Trek, because this is by far the best explanation for encouraged Vulcan homosexual relationships. Mostly dialogue. Mustread!) 104.

Reunion by Batakh ('"Q," Kirk asked him, "Why have you brought the Enterprise E here?" "Why? A reunion of course!" Q said, delighted. "Reunion? With whom?" "With me!"

Mau by WerewolvesAreReal ('Spock will always, always find it ironic that Sarek banishes Sybok for believing in a religion of which Spock might possibly – probably - be a part.' The fucked up fairytale AU. BAMF!Spock, eidetic memory. Dark!Spock. Seriously dark. He seems to be a mix of a dark demon and witch and vampire and shapeshifter, all while looking like a Vulcan. Later we find out that Spock is actually a Mau, not a Vulcan. 'We are born to every planet, at some point or another. Like old earth changelings, starting as a normal member of our species and then becoming... more, or less.' The ending breaks my heart. It is keeping with canon every step of the way, and at the end, when Kirk dies a canonical death, I could not have wished for a more tragic yet perfect ending. If this is a fairytale, it's not a light one. It's darker than a Grimm fairytale. The bird, oh, the bird. This is so dark and creepy and sad and almost brings tears to my eyes, but by all gods, if you're only going to read one Star Trek fanfic and want something so painful and delicious and perfect, make it this one) 26. Trepidation by MabelOverture ('Kirk had never felt such fear as he did when he realized his first officer had become the target of a malicious and unfamiliar enemy.

Personal Gods by WeirdLittleStories ('Kirk and Spock investigate a planet where the things that are important to them are seemingly made manifest.' Spock's personal god is Truth, and Kirk's anthopomorphic personification is the Enterprise. TOS) 35. The Price of the Prime Directive. by HeronS ('Kirk, Spock and Chekov are caught in a difficult ethical situation. Ethics, friendship, poor pre-First Contact society.

We stole whatever we thought profitable of your ideas and your arts, and gave them to our well-fed friends while their inventors starved?"' Gen, angst, hurt no comfort, ethics, pre-First Contact, Prime Directive, Kirk actually listens to the Prime Directive, friendship, very good) Others: 1.

Party of Two by Team D ('It was his ninetieth birthday party, and Leonard McCoy was determined to enjoy himself if it killed him.' My God. The angst. Don't read it if you don't like endings.

Especially since the idiot has been dodging his mandatory physical for four months. "That's almost impressive," says Jim.' The stuff the crew uses the equipment for when not during emergencies is hilarious. Like Spock and a man's bet about the exact shape of snowflakes and the subsequent use of very careful transporter technology to confirm the hypothesis. The entire Science department adores Spock. BAMF!Spock, also BAMF!Bones. Also think about the fact that Spock is quite possibly the only Vulcan-human hybrid ever and spent a lot of time in hospitals as a subject, not even a patient.

Gen Spones, which is the best sort. Soulmate AU, TOS universe) 17. Where Did You Find that Picture? by the_author_at_221B ('Spock didn't like dealing with the doctor on a regular day.

One of my favourite Star Trek fics, as well as my headcanon. Has deep character analysis and an intriguing study in motivations and prejudice. Also analyzes Spock and Bones' relationship. Despite all that, a very light read. Mustread!) 22. Forgettable Embarressment by sherlocked221 (''Oh, he’d forgotten about last night. The shower, the sick, the naked Spock, the three or four too many drinking binge.

What Kirk sees on those tapes causes him to have a conversation with a certain someone...' TOS, gen, Bones-centric. Not entirely sure how to tag this. Theoretically, it'd qualify as light Bones-bashing, but honestly, it's not how it feels like. What it does feel like, is Kirk finally getting fed up with Bones' disregard for Spock's feelings and the ship's safety being risked during crisis because of Bones, and talking Bones down.

Gen, later pre-slash and slash. Part V has mpreg, so skip that if that's not your thing. This fic is what embodifies the Spones ship to me, and honestly, I don't need to read any other Spones because this one is perfection and I don't need any other. TOS. Chapter 10 in part 3 explains Vulcan emotions and how they differ from humans'. Reminds me of the lightbulb/laser analogy pertaining to human/Vulcan sexuality. Engaging, plotty fic that follows Spock and McCoy’s relationship after Spock initiates a bonding mind-meld with McCoy to save his life. Followed by five more parts (of about similar length), which I also highly recommend reading. This is one of those lengthy, and really good fic epics that is perfect for a rainy day. Mustread!) 2. communication breakdown by dothraloki ('Or 5 times Jim thought Spock and Bones had a 'thing' and one time they really did.' Romance, friendship, misunderstandings, TOS, Spones) 3. The Last to Know by Dizzydodo ('When Leonard is fatally injured, Spock attempts to save him with a bond. Unfortunately, Leonard mistakes this for an act of duty, and all Spock's hints to the contrary go unnoticed.' Very good plot, good grammaar and flow. Somewhat long descriptions, but not unpleasantly so. Love the idea of a different kind of mind link than the one in Dependency. TOS, Spones, kind of accidental bonding, permanent injury, courtship, misunderstandings) 4. Lessons by madwriter223 ('Spock asks Leonard for advice on courting a human.

Honorable Enemies by Zauzat ('With the Enterprise battling Romulans in the neutral zone, Dr McCoy is finding his job increasingly unbearable. Spock may prove an unlikely ally.' The whole fic is realistic and kind of depressing and angsty and h/c but the last chapter is so cracky and hilarious. Gods, this is probably the single happiest future fic in star trek I've read. Y'know, the one in which Bones is a research fellow and Pike doesn't die and Spock becomes Ambassador. Also BAMF!Bones, the one in which he convinces Romulans that humans are honourable enemies, and Kirk and Pike father two half-Romulan daughters. Don't ask. Spones slash. Brilliant story. Very much worth the read) 9. House Rules by seashadows ('What if Leonard McCoy had sat next to Spock on the shuttle, instead of James Kirk?This is what might have happened.' Bones' remarks are lovely. Spock knows advanced biology, and is a result of 'a great deal of work'. Spock not being a morning person is the best thing ever. I mean, Spock is the exact opposite of a night person, and that is why this headcanon (him being a night person) is so awesome. Spock and Bones make much more sense as roommates that Kirk and Bones. Sick!Bones, caring!Spock. Genius!Kirk. Brilliant story, very much worth the read even though it's a permanent hiatus. programming class was my organic chemistry class. Spones pre-slash. Love it. Everyone should give it a read) 10. What's logic got to do with it? by deanniker ('Kirk genuinely liked the bridge of the Enterprise. It was a good place – nothing unexpected ever happened.

He resolves himself to stay as far away as possible, so he won’t blurt out anything dumb. He’s met Vulcans before and none of them liked him much. Illogical, they called him. Leonard knows enough about their culture to recognise it as an insult. Bastards."' Also, the one where Bones teaches Spock how to shave in a Georgian way. Angsty yet sweet. Spones slash, and one of the better ones. Bones doesn't return Spock's affections at first, but later changes his mind. AOS) 25. I Like You by yeaka ('Spock misinterprets everything. Sort of.'

Accidental Spock/Bones marriage and snark. So much snark. AOS humour) 37. Five Opinions McCoy Had About Spock That Turned Out To Be Exactly Backwards by belmanoir (This fic is a walking contradiction because it keeps a very happy and light mood but it is sad when it comes to Bones' thoughts and realizations. Bones is self-depricating at the end. Bit of Spock/Number One, though you don't realize it's her until you re-read the character tags. Very good though, and very much worth the read. TOS) 38. Left Behind by sleepymccoy ('An away mission gone wrong leaves McCoy stranded on a planet with little to no hope for rescue. He grudgingly accepts his fate and begins recording his log entries. Unbeknown to him, the Enterprise above is receiving his communications but are unable to respond. His boyfriend of a few months, Spock, is having a particularly hard time.'

In Vino Veritas by black_tea ('Bones over indulges at Jim's party and ends up losing his impulse control thus forcing him to face the truth of the situation between himself and his Vulcan shipmate.'

The one with the plants and vegetation native to Vulcan being unable to grow on New Vulcan and the Vulcans having to find a solution to that. Demora, Sulu's daughter, found the solution: hanging the trees upside-down). Post-ST:B. Dem is adorable. The Vulcan way of catching up is very practical: a mind meld. Jim is platonically addicted to Spock. A bored Jim is a Jim who's a hazard to himself and to people in his vicinity. Dem braids Spock's hair. This whole fic screams adorable. Domestic Spones fluff. Bones loves Spock, Spock loves Bones, Jim is Jim, Spock is an adorable uncle, and Spock and Sarek get along very well. Very good fic. AOS) 52. Needs Answered by AFKAB ('In the wake of Star Trek: Beyond, Leonard McCoy can tell Spock and Uhura's relationship isn't going to last. Feeling a little lonely himself and understanding how painful it can be to lose at love, he makes a plan to befriend Spock in order to help him get over his impending breakup. He believes he just doesn't want Spock to retreat from humanity and shut himself away behind his stoic Vulcan facade... but he doesn't realize how recent events have begun to change his feelings toward his Vulcan colleague and nemesis. Nor does he anticipate the Machiavellian cleverness of Jim Kirk in manipulating them both to throw them together. Or is his captain's helpful meddling just a colossal coincidence? McCoy can't be sure...' Spones friendship and pre-slash, later probably slash. Past Spock/Uhura. Matchmaker!Kirk. Spock getting drunk on chocolate and licking his fingers in front of Bones, which might be a bit dirty by Vulcan standards. Post-ST:B. AOS) 53. Mess With My Heart by Jenfly ('McCoy wasn't sure if he was imagining it or not but it seemed there was some curiosity and surprise in Vulcan's eyes as he gazed down at his necklace.' Post-ST:B, very good, Bones' necklace. AOS) 54. Genuine Intentions by Spones-in-my-bones (KoruLunan) ('Spock and Leonard being stuck under the mistletoe during the crew's holiday party. Spock's green blush as Jim wolf-whistles at the two of them in encouragement. Leonard turning beet red as he sputters and tries to move away and make excuses only to be stopped by Spock's hand around his wrist. Spocks fingers brushing quickly against Leonard's in a Vulcan kiss as Spock kisses Leonard's check before quickly walking away. Leonard's dumbfounded silence as he watches Spock leave before chasing him.' Cute. AOS) 55. Why is Bones Wearing a Necklace at the End of ST: Beyond? by Trista_zevkia ('After a necklace becomes a plot point, you kind of wonder why Bones is strutting around in one. Or at least, I did, and this is one answer.' Platonic Spones, post-ST:B, neat. AOS) 56. Our Doubts Make Us Traitors by LogicalBookThief ('Dealing with what did and didn't occur on Altamid leaves McCoy incapable of sleeping. Paying his most recent patient a visit seems to be the only cure.' Post-ST:B, very good sequel to ST:B. AOs) 57. For Diamonds, For Dust by killingmonsterswritingthings ('After Altamid, Leonard can't stop thinking about Spock calling him by his first name.' Love confessions, post-ST:B. '“Ah, I love my emotionally constipated crew,” Jim sighed.' Brilliant. AOS) 58. Not So Unfortunate Circumstances by MeganMoonlight ('After a meeting with people from planet Miar-V, where possibilities of an alliance were discussed, McCoy and Spock end up stranded on the planet with no way to contact the Enterprise. Dealing with this situation was difficult... but it could have been worse.' Survival, stranded, getting together, banter, emotions, Spones pre-slash and slash, very good. The one in which Spock says that they shouldn't get into a relationship while high on adrenaline from being stranded on an alien planet. Sweet ending. AOS) 59. The Pretty Little Horses by carmineeyes ('For once, the Enterprise isn't the only ship available in an emergency.' TOS, very short but very good) 60. Of Sleepy Time Rituals and Their Repercussions by imma_redshirt ('After drinking tea with strong side effects, McCoy kisses Spock on the cheek, and causes two days of awkwardness between them.' TOS, fluff, drowsy tea, accidental kisses, mustread) 61. Fear by RunningIntoTheUnknown ('This is why Leonard McCoy sometimes wished he didn't have emotions. He sometimes wished he was more like the Vulcan that he constantly antagonized. The Vulcan that despite everything he said, he actually loved.' AOS, unrequited love, onesided Spock/Bones except then not really because it is a happy ending) 62. Forget-me-not by therev ('The end of a story. McCoy is a night person. He prefers even a simulated nighttime over any other kind of morning. Spock waits until the Enterprise lights are dim and finds him in med bay. Spock has something to tell him.' Blue eyes in Vulcan history, blue eyes as compared to a forget-me-not and Earth's atmosphere. Turn-about flirting and love confessions of sorts. So very sweet and very much like them. AOS) 63. moonlight and mess halls by empresshoshisato ('Spock and McCoy get some dinner after a long shift. It turns out to be quite the night, complete with dancing and fluffy kisses.' TOS, no angst, fluff, kissing, neck kissing, probably first kiss but could be read as established relationship. Amazing oneshot) 64. For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky (Part 1) by greenbloodedcomputer ('After the events of 'For the World is Hollow', Leonard confronts Spock about his lack of care for almost losing his mate.' Some h/c, but mostly fluff) 65. Hello, Pot Meet Kettle by Ster J ('Spock and McCoy are brought up on fraternization charges.'

Appearances by LittleMissReaper ('Spock and McCoy are fighting on the bridge again, Kirk, Scotty, Uhura, Chekov, Sulu and the rest of the bridge crew watch in amusement, concern, satisfaction, curiosity and fear respectively.' TOS, technically Spones pre-slash, but everybody knows that it's going to turn into slash at any moment – or at the nearest shore leave, which, incidentally, is very soon) 67. Nope by yeaka ('Bones and Spock pick a terrible time and place to bicker.' Maybe post-ST:B, but you're free to read it regardless of having seen the movie. First kiss. The 'mission' was actually an exercise with the Enterprise crew for future missions. Brilliant characterization. AOS) 68. By My Side by Jenfly ('”You already have helped me by being here when I need you the most.”' Post-ST:B, established Spones, hurt!Bones, h/c, drama, fluff, romance, nightmares, AOS) 69.

The Placebo Effect by IntuitivelyFortuitous ('Alright, maybe he should listen to Spock more often. Maybe he should not drink anything that gets put in front of him. In his defense, it was purple and sparkly no human with a decent sense of curiosity could resist at least a sip. He didn't expect it to give him a sixth sense, though.' Flirting, TOS/AOS, Spones, pre-slash, drug-induced telepathy, bonding (non-permanent), flirting, cute) 75. New Friend by androgynousclintbarton ('Spock comes back from his shore leave with a new pet.' Spones preslash and slash, AOS, Sehlat, cute) 76. Gingerbread Rocks by Adenil ('Joanna has her suspicions about how her Dad feels about Mr. Spock, but she's can't very well ask when they're in the middle of making a gingerbread house.' Spones, TOS, Christmas, gingerbread houses, fluff, winter, family) 77. How to Woo A Vulcan by Spones-in-my-bones (KoruLunan) ('McCoy let out a sigh of relief as he ran his hand through his already disheveled hair. "I'm still trying to find things out. About us.

Angst, happy ending, dancing, camping, swimming, skinny-dipping, cuddling, sharing body heat, gifts, matchmaking, parties, mistletoe, UST) Enterprise headcanons: 1. Above and Beyond the Call of Duty by Closet Scrawler ('Kirk must rescue Spock from a diplomatic... error. ' Fucking hilarious fanfic. TOS, gen) 2. Rules and Regulations by WerewolvesAreReal ('Other people always seem to be in awe of Spock's perfect poise and control. But then, those people don't have access to his reports. Humor.' Spock is either the best damn officer in the 'Fleet and knows that his both positions require him to have differing priorities, or he is batshit insane. Probably both. First Officer!Spock keeps denying Science Officer!Spock the science supplies. Hilarious. TOS. Gen) 3. Physician, Heal Thyself by WeirdLittleStories ('When McCoy is temporarily assigned to an all-Vulcan ship, he learns some things about himself, Spock, and Vulcans that enable him to grow and change and become a better man. In McCoy's absence, Spock comes to appreciate the doctor more and to better understand that his function on the Enterprise is not limited to his work as a physician.' Gen, TOS. Amazing story. One of my favourite Star Trek fics, as well as my headcanon. Has deep character analysis and an intriguing study in motivations and prejudice. Also analyzes Spock and Bones' relationship. Despite all that, a very light read) 4. D'You Really Need To? by sleepymccoy ('Spock&Bones friendship, despite what the tags say. Spock uses Bones' bathroom and 'discovers' Bones and Scotty's still, although he already knows about it. Gen, TOS) 5. Between Warp 2 and 3 by Momosportif ('A mysterious malfunction results in Scotty and Spock being imprisoned in the board room. An illogical way for two senior officers to spend four hours, but perhaps it can provide Spock with a serious answer to one of Kirk's silly questions.' What people do during boring bridge shifts.

Kirk. Character study.' Simply beautiful. TOS, gen. BAMF!Kirk) 7. Melody by icarus_chained ('James Kirk and Nyota Uhura have a quiet moment of shared understanding while listening to Spock and McCoy bicker.' Gen, TOS, very pleasant oneshot, Spock&Bones friendship. Headcanon) 8. I Knew Him First, I Knew Him Last by Heather Snow ('Scotty and Chekov's reflections after Spock's death and restoration in The Wrath of Khan and The Search for Spock.' Spock&Scotty, Spock&Chekov, gen, very profound and nice) 9. An Easy Life by Isilarma ('No one ever said being a CMO was going to be easy. McCoy attempts to keep his senior officers out of trouble. Attempts being the operative word.' AOS/TOS, gen, Kirk being an idiot, Bones-centric) 10. /post/129556547248/entilzorange (BAMF!Bones, captured but rescued himself, TOS) 11. Idiomatic by WeirdLittleStories ('Kirk has trouble believing that Spock doesn't understand common idioms, so Spock explains why he pretends not to.' Neat, some bonding, explanations of the social roles of foreigners) 12. Strength Training by WeirdLittleStories ('When Spock's biobed readings are anomalous, Spock has to explain certain aspects of Vulcan life to Kirk and McCoy.' Wow. This is actually quite dark and creepy and absolutely something that could happen on Star Trek. Spock, and all Vulcans, deliberately torture themselves mentally to maintain mental control. Kirk&Spock&Bones. The author lives up to their nickname) 13. Fire and Water by KCS ('Five reasons why the crew of the Enterprise have a healthy respect for the combined powers of Commander Spock and CMO McCoy, and once reason why the Captain only rolls his eyes and doesn't ask for details.' Gen. Spock&Bones. TOS) 14. It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time by FunkyFish1991 ('It's been a hard couple of days. All Scotty wants is a sandwich.' AOS, gen, Spock&Scotty friendship) 15. The Enterprise Learns about Sexual Harassment by Philippa ('When an anonymous tip alerts Starfleet to possible sexual harassment on board the Enterprise, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy must endure a Fleet regulation lecture.' Hilarious. Reminds me of the James Bond fic where MI6 had the lecture. Add to that a Spock being asked to demonstrate flirting and you basically have this fic. Gen, TOS, wonderful oneshot. Oh, and the reason they even have the lecture is because the female computer – which insists on calling Kirk 'dear' – onboard the Enterprise felt like Kirk wasn't responding to her advances) 16. Five Lines That Never Received The McCoy Seal of Approval (and one that made him famous) by stepstostars ('Wherein Leonard does not approve of any of his crew's (now popularized) catchphrases and lines.'

A Starship Runs on Loyalty by KCS ('When the Enterprise is ordered to escort a xenophobic admiral back to Earth, the man discovers to his shock that James T.

Transfers by WerewolvesAreReal ('One-shots about different crew transferring onto/off Enterprise. Mostly humor, some other types.' Gen, BAMF!Spock, BAMF!Kirk, BAMF!Scotty, BAMF!Uhura, BAMF!everyone, xenophobia, TOS. The first chapter is hilarious because honestly, that's a regular TOS episode and this isn't even an exaggeration) 19. A Friend in Need by lahmrh ('An unexpected illness leads Kirk and Spock to a new understanding of their friendship.' This fic is wonderful and rare because it is gen but also has a mind-link between Spock and Kirk, and they remain friends. Asexual!Spock probably, hurt!Kirk) 20. Color Me a Vulcan by KLMeri ('A short Halloween drabble. Spock does not appreciate McCoy's Halloween costume.' Vulcan!Bones, pirate!Sulu, witch!Uhura, zombie!Chekov. TOS, gen) 21.

Sub Rosa by Janice_Lester ('Jim snoops about in the message buffers, seeing what his crew are writing to each other when they're supposed to be working.' Implied Spones slash, otherwise gen. AOS. Light and humorous) 27. The Thing by madwriter223 ('Working in the Science Department was a dream come true. This, unfortunately, was not her day. At all. Commander Spock was going to kill her.' TOS/AOS, hilariously cracky gen. A... thing, was created by one of the scientists, and now it's trying to mate with the ship. Yes, seriously) 28. Picking Up The Pieces by Fawlke ('After Spock and Khan’s epic fight. Spock should really get his injuries seen to.' AOS, BAMF!Spock, Spock&Bones, Kirk&Spock) 29. The Gift by KCS ('Scene set just after Journey to Babel. Amanda Grayson-Sarek watches her son as he cares for his recovering captain, and the Captain indirectly offers her a rare gift.' So much friendship and bonding. It's so sweet and covert and adorable and fluffy. Brilliant, no-slash, TOS) 30. Clothes Make the Man by KCS ('Five times Spock wore something other than his uniform, and one time he was only too glad to put the uniform back on.' Last chapter technically an AOS crossover. Mostly gen, character study, TOS) 31. Gifts by KCS ('Five times Jim and Spock gave each other something, and one time it wasn't necessary.' Gen. Beautiful, TOS) 32. Symbiosis by KCS ('Five times Spock's Vulcan characteristics saved his human crewmates, and one time those crewmen's human characteristics returned the favor.' Gen. Here be crack, fluff, a dash of H/C, and heaven only knows what else. TOS) 33. Protector and Protected by ArwendeImladris ('Six times Jim was the protector, and the one time he was protected.'

Of Enclosed Quarters and Eight-Legged Creatures by LeandraLocke ('Kirk and Spock are trapped in a chamber in an ancient city of ruins and have to wait to get rescued. An easy task, if only someone didn't have a rather inconvenient problem...' Pre-slash, phobias, h/c, claustrophobia, arachnophobia) 35. A Comfort to Share by klmeri ('When Jim discovers an unusual arrangement between Spock and McCoy, he doesn’t know what to think… until McCoy explains.' Spock&Bones friendship, gen, TOS) 36. sticks and stones (can't break my bones) by penultimatepanic ('It's all fun and games until somebody gets his (supposedly) nonexistent feelings hurt.' Because seriously, Spock must've been hurt by lots of people during his childhood, not to talk of the experiments done on him. Friendship, gen, TOS, Spock&Bones. Spock's trigger word is 'mule', which is kind of obvious why) 37. Courage of Conviction by icarus_chained ('In the aftermath of Sarpeidon, Spock and McCoy have a conversation about McCoy's tendency to prod Spock into excess emotionality and why that really mightn't end well. McCoy understands that, he does, but that doesn't mean he thinks he ought to back down.' Spock&Bones, friendship, gen, TOS) 38.

Reining In McCoy by WeirdLittleStories ('A delegation of Bridge officers approaches Kirk and asks him to review the security tapes from several incidents when Kirk was in trouble and Spock was in command. What Kirk sees on those tapes causes him to have a conversation with a certain someone...' TOS, gen, Bones-centric. Not entirely sure how to tag this. Theoretically, it'd qualify as light Bones-bashing, but honestly, it's not how it feels like. What it does feel like, is Kirk finally getting fed up with Bones' disregard for Spock's feelings and the ship's safety being risked during crisis because of Bones, and talking Bones down. I suppose it also qualifies as Spock&Bones, as well as Kirk&Bones) 40. Flower Chains by madwriter223 ('De-aged Sarek and Amanda.' TOS, gen, Sarek/Amanda, Sarek&Amanda, fluffy, flower chains, blomsterkransar. Young!Sarek, kid!Sarek, deaged!Sarek, deaged!Amanda, young!Amanda, kid!Amanda) 41. Close encounters of the tenth kind by tanhayk ('The Enterprise is stuck in space after a difficult battle, with most of the energy gone, until someone responds to their distress signal. Only, it's not exactly a Starfleet vessel.' Doctor Who crossover, TOS, gen. Spock seems to understand the TARDIS technology. Also, I love how positive everyone here is) 42. Offerings on the Vine by klmeri ('Spock's and McCoy's suspicious behavior catches the attention of the Enterprise crew. What could they be up to?' TOS, gen. Spock&Bones, crew suspects Spones slash, gift-giving. 'We are executing a social experiment on the conduct of the Enterprise crew.' Theoretically, it's a scientific study, but I'm at least 65% certain they just like trolling people. An interesting study of the gossip mill) 43. Anything yours can do, mine can do worse. by impulsereader ('Drs McCoy and Watson meet and commiserate over all the trouble their friends end up dragging them into.' Bones-centric, crossover with Sherlock. Kirk&Spock&Bones, Sherlock&John, gen, TOS, non-slash) 44.

Fabulous and formal language, spot-on Spock characterization. BAMF!Spock. TOS/AOS) 47. Nothing Left to Lose by igrockspock ('Spock waits exactly 12.2 seconds before refusing the Vulcan Science Academy's offer of admission.' TOS/AOS. BAMF!Spock, rebellious!Spock. Could be considered a prequel to the story above, though both are stand-alones as well) 48. Human Weakness by Isilarma ('Spock continues to learn how to deal with illogical humans.' Enemies to almost friends, AOS, gen, Spock&Bones, tired!Bones, awesome!Chapel) 49. Reality Bites by igrockspock ('The fifth time the Enterprise slips into an alternate reality, Captain Kirk wants to stay.' The reality is so much worse because it is so much better than AOS, it's TOS, and nobody is allowed or can stay, and that's why it is so painful. AOS with references to TOS and Mirror!verse) 50. The Undiscovered Country by schweet_heart ('Kirk, Spock and Bones meet up in the afterlife.' Tribute to Leonard Nimoy. Live long and prosper. Life after death. Afterlife. Kind of a fix-it. TOS, gen. Kirk&Spock&Bones) 51. In the Line of Duty by Closet Scrawler ('A collection of introspective one-shots devoted to the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise.' Gen, TOS, Kirk&Spock&Bones&crew. The same author as Above and Beyond the Call of Duty) 52. Expressed DNA by WeirdLittleStories ('Dr. McCoy is grumping again because Spock doesn't act like the half-human McCoy knows he is. Nurse Chapel gives him another way to think about the matter, with some help from Kirk and M'Benga.' Gen, possibly Spirk pre-slash, depending on level of squinting, implied Chapel crush, musings on Vulcan biology. Episode references to stated Vulcan facts, which is awesome because crossreferencing. This would also explain Bones' improved attitude) 53. Episode Epilogues by WeirdLittleStories ('This is a series of missing scenes that add to — or resolve — the events of the episodes. Many (but not all) of those missing scenes will involve a meeting between Kirk and Spock to talk over the events of the mission after the conclusion of the episode. I'm intending these stories to focus mostly on the relationships among the characters but with no overt romance.' TOS, gen, episode codas) 54. An Embarrassing Savior by WeirdLittleStories ('When Spock is attacked by a creature that kills telepaths by consuming the energy of telepathic minds, Kirk tries many things to save him. Later, the boys work on saving Vulcan from an unusual threat.' Fic with a plot. Kirk&Spock&Bones. Hurt!Spock, BAMF!Spock. TOS. Spock, the only true prejudice-free advocate of IDIC. The virus is a mindworm, a creature that feeds on telepathic energy, which is found in telepaths. It was administered by an assassin who wants to kill all Vulcans and ran a trial on Spock. Bones force-fed Spock chocolate, which contains the amine phenethylamine (aka 'the love chemical'), which knocked out his telepathic abilities and forced the mindworm to leave his body. It unfortunately only works on hybrids, which means it only works on Spock. Kirk decides to get Sarek's help. Also, Starfleet is a suspect in this, and the Talosians are somehow involved. Very engaging story, WIP, gen) 55. 5 Times They Shoved McCoy Into a Closet by Danzinora Switch ('...and one time he came out- BROKE out, Jim, BROKE out, good Lord, get your head out of the gutter. Rated T because Jim has a lousy sense of humor.' Gen, Kirk&Spock&Bones, funny, humour) RPF: 1.

Harry Potter and the Unforgivable Tournament by questionablequotation ('Harry asks an obvious question during his first class with Professor Moody... and everything changes.' At first I wasn't sure whether to put it under humour or under angst, as it is a very realistic and scarily dark analysis of the wizarding world, poorly disguised as a parody, but then I thought that the good outweighed the bad. Very well-written.) 34. Death by Garlic by Jocemum 35.

Adventures in Child Care and Other One Shots by Perspicacity (chapter 6 has Severitus and reverse!Severitus in one. Suffice to say, it is mindscrewing. Chapter 10 has Sirius giving Harry The Talk. It is... oddly educative. Also, it's the exact opposite of how The Talk is probably supposed to be given, but that just makes it that much more awesome. Chapter 16 has a very dark!Harry who seeks retribution and revenge for Luna's death. There is a lot of subterfuge and backstabbing and betrayal going on) 50.

After who knows how long of feeling so numb, waking up as Tom Riddle is going to change things. Fate really does have a weird sense of humor. Harry reincarnated as Tom Riddle, Dark Lord Harry.' Aka, Harry is the Master of Death and Death reincarnates Harry as Tom Riddle, except Harry is so very knowledgeable and powerful, which leads him to being so bloody bored. Very well-written fic and the cliché idea is done very smoothly. Enjoyable fic, worth your time. MoD!Harry, Master of Death!Harry, Harry buys Nagini before first year, uses Slytherin's personal vault to buy stuff, and Dumbledore is not as suspicious as he was of Tom Riddle in canon.

Inspiration Strikes Again by Monopoly ('Salazar Slytherin learns that being a responsible adult is hard. Godric Gryffindor learns that dealing with a hyperactive adult is hard. Harry Potter learns that telling the truth never gets you anything worth having. A fun and educational fic.' Indeed it is. In this, Salazar is the one with ADHD and Godric is the responsible one.

He also dances with Ginny and Lavender, and then Neville because why not. By the time they finally stumble off to actually eat something, Harry’s head is a whirl of music and steps, and he has the taste of liquid courage leftover on his lips, because Joséphine carries a flask and apparently Beauxbatons kids don’t call it a party unless there’s a good potion or drink flowing.'

The Rise of Potter-Black by xoxlollipopxox (not WBWL, dark!good!Slytherin!Harry, the whole schmuck; very much worth your time) 11.

Necromancer!Harry, except it's called an animator. Harry has necromancer powers, but they're not as useful as you might think. Not all Slytherins are evil. Dark Harry Potter, or dark-ish. The one with Harry's necromancy being accidental and out of control and Harry manages to raise the basilisk at the end of his second year) 16. Not Just A Kiss by SSC (Dementorish!Harry, very good; gives insight into the 'mind' of a Dementor.) 17.

Firefly ("The Founders of Hogwarts were brave, witty, loyal and cunning. They were also drunk, besotted, sarcastic, proud, lustful, jealous, conceited, baffled, cursed – and on speaking terms with an inebriated Glaswegian hat." AKA, the best intro ever.) 19. Black Magic by Lunatic Howling in the Night (LOTR crossover. 'Harry expected death to be uneventful and Dark Lord free. True to form, none of his expectations were met, including the one involving him being dead.' Absolute brilliance – the sophisticated style of LOTR, coupled with the dry humour oftentimes seen in HP fanfiction. Harry out-reasons Arda. Featuring Melkor as a crow. Crossover with LOTR) 20. All Gone Aside, by alianora ('The Headmaster, and the aftermath of a prank gone wrong.' A rather scary fic. The prank has gone wrong: Remus killed Severus. The fic shows us what happens afterwards. I hate the thought that Severus is killed but I couldn’t help reading it anyway. The expression “like watching train wreck” comes to mind. Thought-provoking and unusual. While it is neither crazy nor insane, it has a delicious darkness that is as frightening as it is addictive, so here it shall stay) 21. Outsiders and Other Eldritch Entities by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel ('A desperate Order of the Phoenix summons the Master of Death to destroy Voldemort.' Master of Death!Harry, MoD!Harry, Eldritch Abomination!Harry. A creepy yet sympathetic Harry) 22. Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Wimey by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel ('The Master of Death is not merely a superficial title, but a functional one. This makes Harry's near-death experiences somewhat awkward.' Master of Death!Harry, MoD!Harry, humour) 23. In Limbo by Nia River ('When Voldemort came to, he realised he was completely stark naked … in the middle of King's Cross Station … which was illogically silent and empty save for himself and a grinning Harry Potter.

A new enemy arises from an ancient power, and Harry must take a stand as the last wizard to protect this new world. If only SHIELD would stop trying to track him down...and someone could explain what the hell was an 'Avenger' was supposed to be. Honestly, muggles...' Avengers crossover. Harry and Tony are so freaking similar, it is scary. Harry defies simple laws of physics. Loki and Harry are also strikingly similar. BAMF!Harry. Seriously, he is as badass as they come. Fury is kind of an ass, though. Harry can lift Mjölner. Immortal!Harry, Master of Death!Harry, MoD!Harry, genius!Harry, smart!Harry) 26. A Child Avenged by pandaswearglasses ('Harry is a good guy, but some lines are never meant to be crossed, and Nick Fury has taken one step too far.' Cruciatu Curse, kidnapping of Teddy, Fury is an idiot, oneshot.Dark Harry, MoD!Harry, Master of Death!Harry. BAMF!Harry, powerful!Harry. Seriously, he is way more powerful than Odin or any Asgardian.

Master of Death!Harry, MoD!Harry, sassy!Harry, immortal!Harry. Harry/JARVIS. Sassy!JARVIS, extremely sassy!Tony. Harry's explaining magic with science and quantum physics, and gives Tony headaches and overloads JARVIS' databases. JARVIS has a bit of a crush on Harry. Harry, for his part, is bloody amazed by a magical AI. Tony's mind is still blown away by what magic can do, which is basically almost anything including resurrecting the dead. Tony's also kind of terrified at the prospect of being a father to JARVIS. Technomancy, technomancer!Harry. The relationships are very sweet. Tony/Pepper. Avengers crossover) 28. Grant, O'Flaherty, Pennyfeather by A_Being_of_Violet_Fire ('There are many theories about Professor Binns. How he became a ghost, why he died, why he always drones on and on about the Goblin Wars. But of all the theories and hypothesis, only one class has ever gotten close to the actual truth. One certain second year class of Gryffindors, during the madness of the Chamber of Secrets... Purely by accident, they nearly stumbled onto the horrible, awful truth: that Professor Bartholomew Binns is far more dark, twisted, and mad than anyone had ever suspected.' Dark!Binns, gen, creepy, heir of Slytherin!Binns) Brilliant stories: 1. Defiance by TeaWithVoldy (it's an Umbridge-centric fic. Brilliantly written, very in-character; well worth your time. I didn't think I would ever read any fics about Umbridge, but it was one of the best and deepest – not to mention bloodiest – fics I ever read.) 2. On the Way to Greatness by mira mirth (the best Slytherin!Harry fic I've ever had the pleasure to read. Plus, it's dark and yet so good. It's easy to understand everything. You finally comprehend the motives of the Purebloods, the workings of the Minstry, etc. It is quite possibly the best HP fic I've read. 'Strangely, the teachers also expected Harry to go to class and submit homework. As if this was a school, or something.' – Chapter 13. If you only read one Harry Potter fanfic, please make it this. Note to self: it's the dark!Harry fic. You know which one.) 3. Paradise Lost by Neko-chan -Silvered Tongue (With one question posed to the Sorting Hat, Harry Potter's life changes completely. Another dark!Harry fic, although milder than the one above-mentioned.) 4. Gravesong: Requiem by CareOtters (the necromancer!Harry fic; the one set in the future with Harry visiting a dying friend in a hospital. 'Harry knew he'd succumb to his dark powers, but he also knew that he'd recovered, and brought the world back from the brink of annihilation – an annihilation that he himself had caused.') 5. Bellum Domesticum by Littletiger (a very good Severitus, with lots of details most fanfic writers don't even think to include. Very enjoyable.) 6. Once A Father version II by Kyros (Severitus with a canon!Snape, kind of like 'By Blood Only', but Snape is slightly more accepting. 'Slightly' being the operative word.) 7. Ghost In The Cell by cheryl bites (As punishment for his misdeeds, Voldemort is buried alive in a steel coffin a mile beneath the ocean. Goes to tell how restlessness causes insanity, and not the good kind, either.) 8. The Chronicles of Merlin: The Return by jumpin ('Harry Potter wasn't the boy who lived. It was his sister Glory. She was the one that beat Voldemort and is seen as a hero. Harry on the other hand has a power all of his own, and as time goes on it will reveal itself.' Merlin!Harry, Harry is the reincarnation of the classic Merlin) 9. Time to Put Your Galleons Where Your Mouth Is by Tsume Yuki ("Harry had never been able to comprehend a sibling relationship before, but he always thought he'd be great at it. Until, as Master of Death, he's reborn one Turais Rigel Black, older brother to Sirius and Regulus. (Rebirth/time travel and Master of Death Harry)". In other words, really light and funny fic. It's inexplicably easy to read; it takes up all the complicated problems in the Wizarding World and solves them effortlessly while still retaining some of the innocence from the books.) 10. Oh God Not Again! by Sarah1281 (time travel fic; the one with Harry's psychic scar. Hilarious.) 11. Ephemeral Time by Mystical Magician (With nothing left to lose, Harry sends himself as far back into the past as his death will allow him. HP/AD) 12. No Difference by attackfish ('After Harry talks to Dumbledore in Deathly Hallows, he takes a little detour to Spinner’s End, back before it was Snape’s house, back when it belonged to a woman named Eileen Prince. Snape couldn’t be angrier when he finds out Harry is his father.' Harry&Snape, Harry/Ginny. The reverse!Severitus in which Harry goes back in time, sleeps with Eileen Prince, and is Snape's father, reverse!Severitus) 13. The Accidental Vessel by Alatar Maia (crossover with Supernatural. Harry!Loki, Harry!Gabriel) 14. A New Chance Continued by pyrodaemon ('Managing to kill Lord Voldemort, Harry now faces the fates themselves. Watch as he's thrown back in time to his eleven year old self and given a second chance at life, a chance to right past wrongs.' I like the portrayal of Dumbledore. Someone with faults, yes, and while Harry is and always will be Dumbledore's man, he sees the Headmaster's faults, but Dumbledore is genuinely trying to be nice and caring about people. He truly is a kind grandfather whom the Fate has handed a heavy burden and he deals with it in the best ways he can) 15. First Class by Ankhiale (at Hogwarts. Like, ever.) 16. Out of the Night by Raining Ink (dark!Harry, Lord Peverell, rituals, Dark Marks – no, not Voldemort's, something that shows other Dark wizards that one is Dark) 17.

Not Slytherin?"' Time travel, Harry and Neville meet Godric Gryffindor) 18. To Recollect the Future by oliversnape (Harry and Snape travel back in time to destroy the Horcruxes; Snape is surprisingly cooperative and protective of Harry; very cute story, considering the dark themes) 19. Better Be Slytherin! by jharad17 (I love how the author uses a sentence from on chapter to continue the plot in the next one) 20. Harry Potter: Dark Memories by Blueowl ('Voldemort didn't just give Harry some of his powers that night. He gave him all of his memories.' I cannot say how much I loved and enjoyed this story. It would have been a lot easier to create a dark!Harry in this story, with the memories and all, but instead the author took the time to come up with a believable Good!Dumbledote and Light!Harry. She also created several magical theories, one of them about how magic itself works. The bond between Harry and Dumbledore is incredible and unlike anything I've ever seen. The story is simply fantastic.) 21. Really into dragons by ShiphausTrash ('Charlie struggles to find the words to tell Bill how he feels about love.' Asexual!Charlie, aromantic!Charlie, accepting Weasleys, humor. '" They think you might be gay."' Nor woman neither) 22. In Light of Silver Memories by Taliath ('Dumbledore's portrait wakes up at last to have one final chat with Harry. In order to aid the teen in his quest to destroy the Horcruxes, Dumbledore transfers his knowledge, wisdom, and experience. This chat will have unforeseen consequences in the war.' Also, the author is a male and extremely touchy about being mistaken for a girl.) 23. Just In Blood by Carnivorous Llama ('Harry Potter is the heir of Slytherin.') 24. unreachable by malapropism ('"Eventually, Charlie found the words for what he’d always known, and learned that there were others with stories like his. It was easier, in a sense, once he had a word to explain something that seemed inexplicable to so many...But he’d never really gone searching for language, or for community, and he always just thought of himself as simply not interested. Not interested in relationships, or sex, or the kind of love that people fall into."' Asexual!Charlie, aromantic!Charlie, bisexual!Bill, absolutely fantastic) 25. Nadir by wynnebat ('After the funeral, all Charlie can do is pick up the pieces George has fallen into.' Asexual!Charlie. It can kind of go with the abovementioned story, but it focuses more on George's grief. You know, it's the fic where Charlie eventually goes back to Romania and there is this very cozy village near the reservoir, where Charlie lives, and George weakly jokes that he and Fred always thought Charlie was hiding a boyfriend there) 26. Harry's Strange Animagus Transformation by Healer Pomfrey (McGonagall offers Harry the Transfiguration post and Harry proves he's an Animagus) 27. Of Like Minds by Scribe Shiloh ('In which Harry has a problem, and Sherlock offers some unexpected advice.' Asexual!Harry, asexual!Sherlock, Sherlock crossover) 28. When Time Stands Still by Jedi Sapphire ('The usual Harry-goes-back-in-time, but with minimal romance.') 29. House of Snakes by flitterflutterfly ('At 30 years old, divorced, and headmaster of Hogwarts, Harry Potter doesn't have the life he'd always dreamed would come after defeating Voldemort. A chance discovery in the Chamber of Secrets allows him an opportunity to go back in time and change some things. Wherein Harry raises his younger self, dances the political dance with Death Eaters and a resurrected Tom Marvolo Riddle, and searches for a way to stop the destruction of the magical world.' Harry meets the Founders, finds out he's a descendant of Slytherin, time travels back to the 1980s, is transformed into Hadrian Naga – another descendant of Slytherin – then adopts his younger self and resurrects Tom Marvolo Riddle's sanity and body by reuniting Riddle's Horcruxes. Riddle begins to court Hadrian. Hadrian is manipulative yet gentle and nice – unless you threaten Harry, of course. Elegant writing and pleasant flow, easy to follow reasoning. The idea with the magical orphanage and magical adoption that even Lucius Malfoy supports, and Muggleborns bringing in new clean magic. Riddle is polite yet manipulative but in a nice way. Dumbledore is manipulative but not outright evil. He definitely knew about the abuse though. Preslash Harry/Tom) 30. Wind Lord Potter by Swallow-Tailed Kite (LOTR crossover; the one where Harry's world literally falls apart, he endures the creation of the next world – thus making him oldest, by the way – and becomes Gwaihir) 31.

This portrays a rather curious father/son relationship between Voldemort and Harry. It resembles more an older/younger brother relationship, or maybe that of an uncle and his wayward nephew.

Teatime with the Dark Lord by Freelancer ('It's a thousand years into the Second Age, and Sauron is getting ready to take over Middle-earth, but he first, he seeks out the help of an old friend... Tom Bombadil.' A take on the identity of Tom Bombadill. Very interesting and thought-provoking; dry humour) 23.

Wonderful mix of humour and bonding) 29. Diversions by Erestor ('Aragorn is planning his attack on the Black Gate. Legolas states the obvious one too many times. This is dedicated to whoever wrote the screenplay for RotK.') 30. A Course in Facial Contortions by Erestor ('Nowadays Elves are always raising one eyebrow. You see it everywhere.

Also, this is a friend of Blaze's – you know, the one from 'Therapy'. The 'Random Group') 39. An Original Truth or Dare Title by Country music lovin'Hobbit ('Pippin and Merry want the fellowship to get to know each other so they decide to play truth or dare to break the ice.' Because the thought of Boromir undressing Aragorn is too hilarious not to share with this world) 40.

In which neither Aragorn nor Legolas can light a bonfire, and the ending is hilarious) 41. (Not) Quite Ready For Another Adventure by JEAikman ('Bilbo hadn't exactly meant this when he'd said that to Gandalf as they boarded the ship. No, he had definitely not wanted to restart his life from just before it was overturned by dwarves, elves, dragons, skinchangers, and oh, let's not forget dragons and gold-sickness. And that Valar forsaken Ring. This was most definitely not what he had imagined. Basically a Bilbo-fixes-everything fic, because reasons.' This is so fantastically well-written that I was sorely tempted to put it under 'brilliant', but then I realized how much I laughed during reading it, and put it here instead) 42. Return to the Prancing Pony by Lindahoyland, Tumblr (http:///646859.html; basically Aragorn drags Faramir to the Prancing Pony so that the Prince of Ithilien can taste the delicious beer.

Meanwhile, Bilbo has no idea what he did to make the dwarves be so unexpectedly nice to him and while he's half enjoying it, it's starting to feel a bit odd. What's a hobbit to do?') 44. Accidentally, Flirtatiously by jingling ('Growing up in a palace with a king as a foster father leaves one quite jaded towards royalty.

Starring Eowyn and Faramir in a drinking contest, Aragorn 'sampling' the ales, and Arwen longsufferingly being the judge and the voice of reason. Short and concise yet very pleasant to read) 48.

Blistered Hands by Aurorealis ('Hobbits control elements. This is so commonplace for them that not only do they have no clue that non-hobbits don't have this ability, but it never occurs to them that they could probably rule Arda with tiny iron fists if they wanted to. And even if it did occur to them, they wouldn't care enough to do it. World domination makes you late for tea. Bilbo isn't special compared to other hobbits and when none of the dwarves use power over the elements to make traveling easier, he assumes they're being all hardcore and he keeps himself from using it too to fit in. Then something happens and he ends up using his power to get rid of the threat in a moment of panic.' Elemental!Bilbo, fire!Bilbo) 50. Of Shape and Hue and Home by Thundera Tiger ('Take a master of shape and hue. Stir in a troubled wizard and four hobbits. Add a dash of surprising Ranger.

Rotten Tomatoes by DuCali ('Tomatoes used to be considered both poisonous and an aphrodisiac. Idea- it is impossible to poison a hobbit with anything less than a morgul blade. Discuss the Company’s reaction to watching Bilbo eat ‘poisonous’ things. Extra credit if dwarves actually believe salad will kill them.') 53. Flip City Shooby-Dooby by legosass (rematz) ('Thorin stared, dumbstruck. The space used to contain gold and gems and riches beyond measure, the legacy of his people. He lurched out onto the walkway, unable to tear his eyes away from the piles and piles and piles of… He stood stock still, frozen with shock, for a long moment. Are those…handkerchiefs? (AU not-so-oneshot-anymore: Thorin enters the treasury, and what he finds isn't exactly what he was expecting.)' Dragon!Bilbo, Bagginshield, hilarious, matchmaker!Kili.

How very rude) 22. Double Trouble Again by quadrad (Kili and Fili travel back in time; time travel) 23. AfterLife Series by Talutha ('Boromir centric fic where our antihero is given a happy ending of sorts before Gandalf blows in and forces him to make a choice. 'Gen, reincarnation) 24. Deathless by Sann ('On one of her adventures Belladonna Baggins has a torrid affair with a batty old dwarf who claims he is the rightful king of some long-lost mountain.

Strange Meetings by Min Daae ('Aragorn the Ranger runs into a stranger in the wilds of the North. Three guesses which one. The first two don't count.' Aragorn meets Maglor. Very much worth the read) 28. Need some peace of mind by BloodyBrokenAngel ('Bilbo Baggins was not a normal hobbit. He certainly looked the part, but his soul was so much older.

He had a personal vendetta against Smaug and would love to destroy him. The Company, not knowing any of this, hired him as their burglar. Let the adventure begin.' Dragon!Bilbo, BAMF!Bilbo, good dragons vs bad dragons. Bilbo ain't dealing with Thorin's shit, gen, Gandalf the Disturber of Peace. I love everything about this story, the pacing, the characters, the take on the dragon!Bilbo plot. I even like the OC here, Ryadher, which is rare for me) 30. Fool's Gold by MP brennan ('While Ecthelion prepares to preside over a season of festivities, Denethor reflects that all that glitters is not gold.' Holidays in Gondor, Denethor, Aragorn, Ecthelion, gen. Very believable. The one with Ecthelion sending private invites to private conversations) 31. A Toast to Something Else by starlightwalking ('At his brother's wedding, Fíli feels a little out of touch with all of the romance in the air. Thankfully, he manages to find someone else in the wedding party with similar feelings.' Everyone Lives AU, aromantic!Fili, aromantic!Legolas, Legolas&Fili, Kili/Tauriel, asexual!Legolas, asexual!Fili) 32..

Cinderella AU, Legolas&Tauriel, Kili&Fili, asexual!Fili, aromantic!Fili, bisexual!Kili, trans!Kili, asexual!Legolas, aromantic!Legolas, nonbinary!Legolas, trans!Tauriel, decent) Brilliant: 1. Like Breathing by Neoinean ('Snapshots of Legolas in the 4th age. Aragorn guest stars.' It made me feel so many emotions all at once: joy, sadness, and anything in between. The ending was very bittersweet, because I could almost taste Legolas' loneliness, how much he missed Gimli, his dwarf friend, and Aragorn, his mellon, his gwador, his anchor and most important person in his life; and yet, at the end, he seemed happy) 2. The Many Names of Aragorn by Salysha ('His name is Aragorn. Among the Elves he is Estel; to the mortal Men, he appears to be a mere Ranger called "Strider." A little introduction to the many names of Aragorn son of Arathorn.') 3.

Naturally, Aragorn's solution to Faramir's identity crisis is to attempt to drink Faramir to oblivion. Not as cracky as it sounds) 15. AU of Legendary Friendship and Desperate Hours AUs by SusanaR (Faramir is Aragorn's son. In this one, Faramir finds out and talks to Legolas, which leads to him knowing the identity of Thorongil, which leads to Faramir being very reluctant to reveal this information to Aragorn) 16. Companionship by Lintenoviel (http:///a/viewstory.php?sid=3109&chapter=1; 'Legolas arrives at Rivendell and meets Aragorn.') 17. When Hope is Gone by StarLight9 ('After Frodo is captured, Sauron is willing to trade him for the life of the only Man he is afraid of. Will a friendship prove to be strong enough to save Middle earth?' 'Tis a beautiful description of Aragorn and Legolas' friendship. It is something much more powerful than any love or relationship or friendship or brothership any two people can share with each other. They were more than brothers; they were everything to each other) 18. Dire by AK ('Legolas and Aragorn are captured by orcs and taken to Saruman, who is intent upon discovering the location of the One Ring.' Wherein Legolas is tortured and starts to turn into an Orc. Warning for mentions of torture, although, in my humble opinion, that's some very vague torture. Technically Aragolas, but it's so magnificent and unique that it deserves a spot here. Compare with 'Mirror' by Peaceangel) 19. Of Healers by Jedi Sapphire ('It was meant to be an innocuous riding trip through familiar territory, but then things began to happen.' Two stories that are seemingly independent, one about Aragorn and Legolas, the other about Legolas and Thranduil, but are woven together in the end, showing a beautiful symetry; very nice Aragorn&Legolas bromance) 20. Trust by Sigil ('The hobbits don't trust Aragorn and set out for Rivendell alone - but what about the Wraiths?' Nice touch with Elrond at the end) 21. Black Magic by Lunatic Howling in the Night (HP crossover. 'Harry expected death to be uneventful and Dark Lord free. True to form, none of his expectations were met, including the one involving him being dead.' Absolute brilliance – the sophisticated style of LOTR, coupled with the dry humour oftentimes seen in HP fanfiction. Harry out-reasons Arda. Featuring Melkor as a crow) 22. Wind Lord Potter by Swallow-Tailed Kite (HP crossover; the one where Harry's world literally falls apart, he endures the creation of the next world – thus making him oldest, by the way – and becomes Gwaihir) 23. Onto Greener Pastures and Brighter Skies by Trinity103 (LOTR crossover; the one where Harry's world once again is blown up in a nuclear war, the Istari are actually normal HP wizards, Harry becomes friends with the Ents, Death is called Mantos and looks like Supernatural's Death, Radagast borderline wages war on the Ents despite living in Fangorn, and Harry 'has an aura of darkness' – which, in hindsight, is probably to be expected, considering the whole 'Master of Death' business) 24. Tales of the Innkeeper by Allee1 ('An ongoing series of vignettes in which a simple innkeeper, OC, reflects on his encounter with King Elessar and life in Fourth Age ME in general.' Post-RotK) 25. Beneath the Surface by Canafinwe ('On a bitterly cold night in Bree, Aragorn reflects upon one of his many secrets.') 26. A Song of Rings and Swords by Mononoke-hime x sukai kurora (GoT/ASOFAI crossover. 'Jon Snow died when his men betrayed him, but instead of going to the other side, he is transported to the world of Middle Earth.' Bran also makes an appearance. Aragorn and Jon form a kinship of sorts) 27. From One Age to Another by determamfidd ('Upon their return to Eryn Lasgalen and Erebor respectively, Legolas and Gimli each have a new adornment. Their fathers would like an explanation.' Legolas/Gimli, in which they both have tattooed each other's names onto their bodies and have bonded; Legolas knows Gimli's 'true name'. Very h/c and somewhat angsty, with lots of other emotions; very good romance plot without a lot of the actual romance. Suffice to say, I absolutely adore it) 28. Letter to Thorongil by Elenhin ('Boromir clearly adored his little brother, and wanted to tell a man that he admired about him.' Aragorn&Boromir bonding, and Aragorn&Faramir bonding; all platonic friendship) 29. All Shall Fade by myredturtle ('When he reaches the Undying Lands, Bilbo is offered a chance to go back and change things.' Basically Bilbo and Aragorn go back in time to stop Isildur from refusing to part with the Ring. Elrond is very authentic – book-authentic, that is – in this fic) 30. I, Faramir by surreysmum ('Aragorn asks Faramir to keep a journal for a week. Only Faramir is surprised by what he ends up writing.' Aragorn/Faramir. Where everybody is in love with Aragorn, including Legolas, and Faramir is a bookworm who's prone to underestimating his own importance [nothing new here]) 31. Fear of Fire by Blossomwitch ('Faramir finds himself haunted by a severe fear of fire after narrowly escaping being burned to death on Denethor's pyre. When Aragorn comes up with a plan to help him get over it, the two men find themselves spending plenty of time alone together, and begin to discover how far their mutual attraction goes. However, Aragorn's a bit clueless and Faramir's more than halfway convinced he'd be a burden to Aragorn; thank goodness their wives are around to help them sort it out.' Aragorn/Faramir; very heartbreaking and angsty yet sweet fic. The homophobia here is unlike most I've seen before: not confronted directly, but certainly people are aware, and they are trying to hide it more; everybody is aware of exactly what is acceptable. And yet Arwen and Eowyn manage to arrange such a perfect arrangement. 32. Estel and the Hobbit by Eledhwen (wherein Bilbo meets Aragorn in Rivendell; gen; very nice and innocent) 33. Little Estel by Jesse Holmes ('Little Estel's first meeting with a dwarf.' Thorin is surprisingly nice to kids) 34. You Take My Heart by Aearwen22 ('With time growing short, Thranduil summons Gimli to answer some very important questions.' Very good portrayal of Thranduil) 35. The Lost Adventures of Middle-earth by ScribeOfRED ('A collection of short poems set in the beautiful world of Arda.' Some beautiful, some sad, some bitter, some funny) 36. Wandering by Chasing Silmarils ('After their stay in Rivendell, Thorin's company stumbles across a Man -still a child- held captive by the goblins. Just when they decide to leave him to die, they recognize him as the boy they came across in Rivendell, who was called Estel.'

W cieniu dawnego szaleństwa by kruk ('AU, w którym Thorin, Fili i Kili przeżyli bitwę. Dekady później Boromir nie zginął pod Amon Hen, Aragorn został królem, a Denethor nadal jest namiestnikiem. Między Mordorem a Wolnymi Ludami panuje stabilny pokój, w którym to Boromir musi się odnaleźć i poradzić sobie z ciążącymi mu sercu wydarzeniami spod Amon Hen, tą chwilą, gdy uległ szaleństwu i pierścieniowi. W Erebor zaprzyjaźnia się z krewniakami Gimliego, którzy także borykają się z przeszłością oraz nie zawsze akceptowaną przyjaźnią z pewnymi elfami. Ogólnie mówiąc przyjaźń Boromira z krasnoludami.' Polski/Polishś genialny fick, bardzo dogłębnie opisujący wewnętrzny konflikt Boromira i Thorina. Fick ze zdecydowanie wyższej półki) 39. The Absence of Want by Neyiea ('It's something Bilbo has never felt comfortable speaking to anyone about, not when all of his family seems absolutely sure that he'll settle down someday, just as all hobbits do. But maybe he can talk about it to someone who doesn't share those expectations of him.' Asexual!Bilbo, asexual!Bofur) 40. Different Yet The Same by SherlockHolmes ('Bilbo/Thorin, with Bilbo being asexual.' Very cute, understanding!Thorin) 41. Without the Need for Love by SherlockHolmes ('Bofur being an aromantic asexual. After having reclaimed Erobor, a combination of his fame, fortune, and general Bofurness attracts both female and male suitors. And everyone gets really confused when he continuously turns them down.' Asexual!Bofur) 42. All that is gold does not glitter by JimmieJive ('Bilbo and Thorin really should have had this conversation before they got married. Well at least they are having it now. In which both Thorin and Bilbo are ace but neither thought to mention this before they got married because they are a little emotionally stunted.' I have found the ultimate Bagginshield awkward conversation fic; 'tis the answer to all my enquiries [and isn't it a coincidence that it is #42 on my list?]) 43. to the end of his days by lloydsglasses ('It has always seemed to Bilbo that other hobbits have taken an interest in his bachelorhood, but in nearly a century no one has outright asked him about it.' Asexual!Bilbo, innocent and young Merry) 44. Strange Company by shorttfuse (Perhaps Bilbo has more in common with the Dwarves than he thought.' Asexual!Bilbo) 45. Chaos Theory of the Truth of the Reunited Kingdom by Earendil Eldar (Wherein Aragorn is Faramir's father, and the fic, funny thing though it is in its dry remarks, resembles a soap opera – you know, the Tumblr gifset? Yup, that one. It's long: 60 chapters of part I, 65 of part II, around 65 of part III, and 74 chapters of an AU of part I [well, more of an AU of the unwritten prequels, really]) 46. Unwitting Angel by Sentimental Star ('We all know that Arwen came to Aragorn on the river bank, but what if it had been another Elf, instead? Or rather, ELFLING'. Okay, so this is a weird time travel story with about as much logic in it as Doctor Who – meaning its sole goal is to mindfuck as many readers as possible – but the fact remains that it is so beautifully writtent that it is worth the headache) 47. Along the Way by Andixa ('Aragorn and Legolas meet some children in a tavern.' Aragorn&Legolas friendship, very cute) 48. Whenas in Silks by AnnaFan ('First summer in the job! Aragorn faces council meetings (one, exceptionally boring), weddings (two, lovely) and looming diplomatic crises with allies (one, narrowly averted).') 49. Though far away we're still the same by lloydsglasses ('Or, the one in which Bilbo and Thorin get married even though they're not in love.'

Absorbed In His Reading by fringeperson ('Harry likes to get lost in a good book, but someone else just wants him to get lost. A bit of magic and Harry suddenly realises new meaning in that phrase.

Aragorn/Faramir, soulmates) 52. Salt in a Wound by laEsmeralda ('The Fellowship rests in Lothlórien. Confusion ensues.' Aragorn/Boromir, Boromir thinks Aragorn is in love with Legolas when, in actuality, Aragorn has the hots for Boromir. Both funny and a bit serious; Legolas and Gimli are in a perpetual insult-war) 53. Fealty Kindled by Empy (Empyreus) ('He refuses steadfastly to accept this ragged Ranger as the true heir. It is the raving of madmen, surely.' Aragorn/Boromir, angsty at first, then lovely) 54.

Aragorn/Boromir, a bit of Aragorn/Arwen, Legolas, Faramir, Gimli. Aka, Don't Ever Trust Legolas Because He Fucks Shit Up. Kind of asexual!Arwen, except not really – elves only have sex to have kids) 57. Midnight Snacks by rubyelf ('Hobbits should not be allowed unattended in the kitchen at night. Especially with raspberry jelly. When Boromir finds them there and attempts to address the sticky situation, he discovers that Aragorn has been making some questionable bets and that certain hobbits have some questionable things in mind.

Chance Encounter by PR Zed (przed) ('A young and headstrong Boromir runs into more trouble than he can handle.' Gen, Aragorn & Boromir, lovely fic) 59. Of Memory and Dream by PR Zed (przed) ('As the Fellowship embarks on their quest, Boromir remembers a past meeting with Thorongil.' Aragorn/Boromir, sequel to the above. The prequel was better) 60.

On one of her adventures Belladonna Baggins has a torrid affair with a batty old dwarf who claims he is the rightful king of some long-lost mountain. It was jolly good fun, but she has a smial waiting for her back home with her husband inside. Bungo, bless his heart, takes the news of her pregnancy by another man, err- dwarf, in good stride. And when their son is born, well, he has Bungo’s chin, doesn’t he? The neighbourhood certainly doesn't need to know that her Bilbo isn't a Baggins, let alone an actual Hobbit. And his feet are furry (just slightly so) and his ears are pointed (just a bit rounder than normal) and he eats like any Hobbit would. It's just that sometimes, when he corrects her on her history or spends hours weaving the tale of some mountain kingdom and manages the other fauntlings like he is some sort of princeling, that Belladonna thinks that the only odd thing about her son is how he seems old beyond his years.' Durin!Bilbo, reincarnation, Bilbo&Thorin are half-brothers, dwobbit!Bilbo, BAMF!Bilbo) 69. One Day by SubRosa7 ('When it was learned that Faramir the Steward was also the King's son, what did, what did Crown Prince Eldarion think of gaining a 36 year old brother?

In Fading Light by milgarion ('After the battle at the black gates, with the chance of losing everything, Aragorn come to realize something he has long repressed.' The one where Legolas becomes King of Mirkwood and brings the remaining elves back to Ithilien. It is done realistically and bittersweetly, yet one cannot help but notice a certain fluffiness in this fic. Gandalf is the supportive-yet-long-suffering mentor that wishes he could just smack some sense into Aragorn and Legolas. Perfect ending) 2. Archery Contest by Tol Morwen (http:///a/viewstory.php?sid=992&chapter=1; wherein Gandalf tells the Fellowship of Aragorn and Legolas' first meeting, and Frodo suspects Aragolas. Can be considered prequel to 'Caught' by Michelle) 3.

Ways of the Heart by Laurenke1 ('Aragorn has loved Legolas from the moment the man has laid eyes on the elf but Legolas cannot accept his feelings. Can their love ever be?' Bit cliché near the ending, and maybe a tad too sweet and romantic for my tastes, but still very good. The one with the bond where the council of Gondorks rejects Aragolas) 10. Beloved Lord by Lathruth ('It was difficult being King. Aragorn had found that out rather quickly, much to his dismay. After five straight days of listening to his council fight over how his land should be run, all he wanted was some time to himself, in the comfort of his own bedchambers. No such luck.' Plain fluffy smut) 11. Like The Night You Took My Hand Beside The Fire by ShowMeAHero ('"But, like the night you took my hand beside the fire thirty years ago ‘til this day, you swore you’d be here ‘til we decide that it’s our time, but it’s not time, you never quit in all your life."') 12.

He can only hope he is not too late.' The one with the palantir showing Aragorn an entire life without Legolas. 'Passing fancy', and Rumil. Also the one where Aragorn realizes that he specifically does not have to provide heirs) 18. Nightshade by Peaceangel (http:///Nightshade.htm; Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli stumble upon a vampire crypt. Dark and slashy and could my autocorrect PLEASE stop changing 'slashy' to 'slushy') 19. The Ties That Bind by stormatdusk (http:///the_ties.htm; wherein Legolas is a concubine–a slave/gift for King Aragorn Elessar–and slightly OOC) 20.

However, as she stands before his chambers it quickly becomes clear that the King is not alone in his rooms. Fine, alright, that was not such a dumbfounding thought. After all, the King was a healthy man with healthy needs. What she did NOT expect was to see the Prince of Mirkwood walking out of there, his hair in disarray and looking quite satisfied.' 25. I Realize by LadyHawksShadow (http:///Stories/L/LadyHawksShadow/IRealize.htm; 'Aragorn returns to Helm's Deep after his near fatal accident with a warg. Eowyn at last understands exactly who gave him the jewel.') 26. Caught by Michelle, Ladyana5 (wherein Merry and Pippin, curious as they always are, happen upon Aragorn and Legolas making out. Can be considered sequel to 'Archery Contest' by Tol Morwen) 27. Aragorn Unwrapped by Bailey, Ladyana5 ('Aragorn’s foster-family doesn’t know everything about him.' Nicely written fic, and, although Legolas is a bit OOC, but the language used is beautiful) 28.

The White Tree by author Mistress Marilyn, Ladyana5 ('Legolas and Aragorn try to help a friend; Elrond, haunted by the past, wishes to summon the dead.' Aka, the Elrond/Isildur one) 31. The Mirror by Peaceangel ('Reflections on the purity of Elves, sanity, and darkness. Legolas is injured and must confront what he fears most.' The one where Legolas hallucinates and thinks he is turning into an Orc when he's really not. Compare with 'Dire' by AK) 32. Switch by Tena (Aragorn and Legolas switch bodies. Slightly OOC but what can you expect?) 33. Secret Love by Tena (Aragorn and Legolas are in love. Secretly. Which, of course, means that everybody either knows or suspects. Not as cracky as I make it sound, more like cliché, but the good spelling redeemed this fic) 34. The Lady's Wisdom by Floating Leaf ('Lady Galadriel's good advice brings much needed peace upon two troubled hearts.' In which Galadriel plays matchmaker) 35.

In Threes by Ana Library Elf ('These two most beautiful of Elven kin would make the best of the years they had with this bright, burning man, and their trinity created a more perfect union than ever a single pair could have provided.' A/A/L, sort of threesome, except only A/A and Aragolas. The one where there's a celebratory party for a three-year peace in Gondor, and an emissionary from Harad tries to rape Legolas, mistaking him for a mere servant) 37. Journey To Rohan by Peaceangel.2004, Ladyana 5 ('How does Strider help a proud Elf recover from a life-threatening trauma?' By which the author means sickness and rape) 38. The Music of What Happens by Chloe Amethyst, Ladyana5 (the one where Aragorn is late to meet the Mirkwood emissionary, trips over Elladan's nefarious cat, falls on his face, is helped up by Legolas, and falls in love. Other stuff happen too, but they are not nearly as important. So there.) 39. The Foundling Prince by baileymoyes, Ladyana5 ('While on a mission for the Steward of Gondor under the name Captain Thorongil, Aragorn and his foster-brothers free a strange elf from captivity in an Umbaran ruler’s menagerie.'

Aragorn/Legolas, with Arwen's knowledge and approval. She said something along the lines of Aragorn and her marriage being a political one. Quite dark fic in some parts. The one where dwarves survived in Moria and allied themselves with Saruman) 45. Foreshadow by Peaceangel (time travel) 46. Confession by Ruilett ('Before joining the battle of Helm's Deep, Aragorn reflects on his feelings for a certain beautiful elf. Despair and longing.') 47.

No Arwen, good) 52. The First Meeting by AJ Matthews (the one where Aragorn is a half-elf [aka peredhir]. Kind of AU but not quite. Weird yet good that the age difference was reduced) 53.

(After RotK) What if Legolas and Gimli didn't go to the Undying Lands? Here is one way they could have passed, unnoticed, through the generations to our present-day world.'

Also includes Frodo/Sam) 59. Morning by Madam_Red ('The sun streamed through the window, it’s bright fingers brushing along the slumbering forms of two bodies.

My Princess by Major Clanger ('After Boromir's death, Legolas comes to terms with how he feels about Aragorn.' The one where Aragorn and Legolas talk about Legolas' feelings for Aragorn at Helm's Deep, and Aragorn says he cannot return them, and Legolas says he asks not of Aragorn to indulge him in physical desire, and there is a lot of other great stuff here. Unreciprocated love, onesided Aragorn/Legolas, brilliantly written in Tolkien-speak. Mention of minor character death and Boromir) 62. Life After Death by LadyAna5 ('Ten years after her death, Aragorn "talks" with Arwen about his deepening friendship with Legolas.' preslash Aragorn/Legolas, mentions of previous Aragorn/Arwen, minor character death [Arwen, mentions of Eldarion, Elrond, and Eomer. Brilliant, emotional, yet simple. Oblivious!Aragorn, oblivious!Legolas) 63. Breath of Life by surreysmum ('Mortal peril has a way of making you face the truth, as Aragorn and Legolas discover.' Sweet yet also kind of angsty because Legolas faces death by drowning because of a boulder on his leg in a river. Finally, Gimli arrives and helps Aragorn move the boulder) 64. The Man Who Smelled of the Sea by doctornemesis ('On their way to the Woodland Realm, Aragorn and his Company are waylaid by a host of orcs who take Aragorn hostage in Dol Guldur. Desperate and injured, Elladan and Elrohir seek the assistance of the Elvenking. Betraying his father, Legolas sets off to save Aragorn himself.' Neat. The one in which Thranduil hates Aragorn) 65. Sneak by LittleSparklePrince ('Christmas eve means cookie dough and kisses.' Aragorn/Legolas, modern AU, cute, Christmas) 66. How Do You Spell Orange? by firesandpixies ('“Mr Oropherion, I don’t meet parents much, but we are here today to discuss about Legolas’ failure in his recent class test,” Mr Bowman said in a firm but gentle tone. But Hot Dishevelled Man was the only thing Thranduil heard. It began as a parent/teacher AU meant to show the lovely dynamics of Thranduil and Legolas’ chillax relationship. But then Barduil happened and I will now sit in a corner and cry about what a trash I am.' Hilarious. 'Legolas is the best son anyone could ever ask for. He doesn’t stab people in his spare time, he tells Thranduil when he’ll be coming home late (or not coming home at all for the next three days), he likes doing the dishes – and really, that’s all Thranduil needs Legolas to be. Legolas is like an independent domestic cat that does what he wants but is nice to occasionally coddle and cuddle.' Aragorn/Legolas, Thranduil/Bard. Very well-written) Bagginshield slash: 1. A Shot in the Dark by Silver_pup (Time travel; part of the 'Take A Shot' series. 'When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in his old bed in his old home in his old body. Is this death? Or a trick of magic? Either way, Bilbo recognizes a second chance when he sees one, and this time his adventure with Thorin is going to go a bit differently.' This has a bit of time travel and a hint of sadness, which makes it great in itself, but then it has this great friendship/romance plot that is both adorable and a bit bittersweet, except I know it will end happily; it has great bonding within the Company, and then it has some really amazing badassery on Bilbo's part, and it's just one of the better and lighter romance stories I've ever read, which is ironic considering it features THORIN of all people as one of the main characters. The explanation for the gold sickness is just so authentic that I will probably use it as my headcanon. Also, Bilbo being called 'bunny' by Beorn is the cutest thing ever. Features sassy!Gandalf and sarcastic!Bilbo. The one where Bilbo makes a trip to Mordor with Tauriel, Bard, and Beorn, gets captured by Sauron, and finds out he is soul-bonded to Sauron. The tags are just hilarious. Basically, 'Take A Shot' is the time travel The Hobbit equivalent to 'Erik Lehnsherr's A Parenting'. Taking a Shot is adorable. Thorin is adorable. Also, the one where Bilbo and Thorin adopt Estel/Aragorn) 2. A Fool's Hope by TheLadyZephyr ('Thorin wakes up after the Battle of Five Armies the day the company is due to meet their new burglar in Hobbiton. Somehow he must use his knowledge to change their fate, yet secrets and subtlety are not exactly one of his strengths. Thankfully, as always, he has Bilbo Baggins to cover his shortcomings.' Thorin is adorable and oblivious and just about the cutest thing ever. The Dwarves are being cackling menaces, just like in 'A Shot in the Dark') 3. The Inevitable Love Story between Two Oblivious Idiots by Bgtea ('In which everyone sees the budding romance between Thorin and Bilbo, except, of course, for Thorin and Bilbo themselves. Also, Dis brings the fear of God in other Dwarves and likes to meddle in her big brother's romantic life, and if she has to do this through scathingly written letters, then so be it.' It involves the Company deciding that the best way to improve Bilbo’s image in preparation of him and Thorin getting over themselves and getting together would be to make all the Iron Hills dwarves ship them. So they write fanfiction, and Ori illustrates, and Fili and Kili report to their mother, who keeps bugging Thorin and also makes alcohol. Hilarious as hell, and also has Supernatural references. Also, the tags are hilarious) 4. The Great Movie Adventures of the Company of Thorin Oakenshield (as narrated by Bilbo Baggins) by Itar94 ('Wherein the Company of Thorin Oakenshield get whisked away and made to watch their journey - and onwards - on widescreen.' Exactly what it sounds like) 5. Rumour Has It by FunkyinFishnet ('Rumours abound in Erebor – of how Crown Prince Fili should be ruling as King Thorin heals, of how useful or wretched Captain Tauriel is, of how badly the Crown Prince has chosen a betrothed, of the dangers of Men, Elves, and Hobbits.' Features Tauriel/Kíli and Elrond being consulted for the babies) 6. i have loved you and you have not known it by KaavyaWriting ('Twelve times the Company steps on Bilbo's toes and the one time he steps on theirs… Or at least on someone's.' Wherein stepping on somebody's toes means different things for Hobbits and Dwarves. Oblivious!Bilbo) 7. Alone is a word not meant for you by authoressjean ('The holidays are fast approaching, and Thorin's been dreading them, now that it's just him and his nephews. Harder still given that Fili still barely speaks and hasn't really since Dis died. So when Kili drags them into the bookstore to look for children's literature author Mr. Baggins' new book, and they find the author himself reading his latest, Thorin isn't expecting anything beyond maybe making his nephews a little happier. He certainly isn't expecting to find something for himself but he may have done just that.' It's the most adorable thing ever. Bilbo cures heartache through children's books) 8. The Way That You're Leading Me Home Like That by darth_stitch ('When Mr. Bilbo Baggins returned from his Great Adventure in Far Off Parts, the adventure and his dramatic arrival at Bag End (just in time to prevent the complete auctioning off of all his belongings), was the talk of the Shire for a good six months.') 9. Are you trying to seduce me, Master Baggins? by closetshipping ('The Burglar was trying to seduce him, Thorin was certain of it. But he would not let that menace of a vixen get to him, no, Thorin would show the hobbit that he was stronger than that. It was very hard to think straight when Bilbo exposed himself in such a way, though.') 10. Safe and Distant by Lindzzz (Thorin is not nearly as subtle as he thinks he is and Bilbo's still fucking clueless. The one where Thorin confesses his eternal love to Bilbo while sick, Bilbo leaves for Shire for a year, comes back, finds out that the mithril chainmail is actually an engagement gift, and they live happily ever after) 11. Stoneblind by Chamelaucium ('Courting one's Beloved is a difficult enough process at the best of times, with complex customs and many steps to remember. For Thorin Oakenshield, it's a whole lot more complicated than that. For a start, his Beloved is a hobbit who has absolutely no idea that he even is Thorin's Beloved, let alone the steps of courtship. Secondly, Thorin may or may not be completely invisible to said hobbit, for reasons only the Maker knows. As Thorin is swiftly learning, Mahal has ever laughed upon his sons of the Line of Durin.' The one where Thorin is resurrected after ten months of being dead, Bilbo comes back to Erebor only to be unable to see Thorin, and everything has a happy ending) 12. Here Be Dragons by agirlnamedchuck ('The one where Bilbo is a dragon and still gets roped into reclaiming Erebor, Gandalf is a meddling Wizard, and Bilbo may have confusing feelings for Thorin Oakenshield.' Dragon!Bilbo, BAMF!Bilbo, the one with Thranduil telling Thorin the truth about Bilbo and Thorin wanting to kill Bilbo. '"What did Thranduil say to you?" Bilbo asked. "What did he tell you?" There was no use waiting, best to blunt. "Why does it matter?" Thorin said smirking, biting clear in his tone. There was a coldness about him, so devoid of any warmth or affection that it felt as stinging as a slap to look at him. "Unless what he said is true."' Wonderful fic, and definitely one of my LOTR favourites) 13. Baggins of The Shire by Fangirlyra ('The Shire - unlike any kingdom in Middle earth - didn’t have a King, instead they have a Baggins. This is a story of how a the Baggins of the Shire had an adventure and gained something more than a treasure.' King!Bilbo, courting by the song of the six flowers) 14. Of Dwarves Courting Hobbits by GallantGeekery (Thorin attempts to court an unaware Bilbo.') 15. Courting Mr Baggins by Lothlorien ('Thorin decided to court Bilbo. The only problem was, the hobbit didn't seem to have noticed.' Bilbo notices but in the Shire you are direct rather than subtle, so he waits) 16. The Real Thing by TanukiMara ('Bilbo discovers the differences between what he reads in books and the real thing.' Courting method: learn the other's profession) 17. Regal Disappointment Face by Amuly ('Fili and Kili get it into their heads that Uncle Thorin and Bilbo Baggins are smitten with each other but both are too dense to do anything about it. Enter the brothers matchmakers! Unfortunately, most (all) of their plans involve endangering Bilbo.' This is utterly hilarious. The Regal Disappointment Face just made it all better) 18. The Greatest Treasure in Erebor by TheNarator ('It takes roughly two months of being taken on a different walking tour of The Splendors of Erebor every single day for Bilbo to work out that Thorin and Company are trying to convince him not to leave.' The one where Bilbo leaves for the Shire when he finds out that Frodo has become an orphan, and Kíli, Fíli, and Gimli 'kidnap' Frodo in order to bring the two hobbits to Erebor) 19. Something More Agreeable... by enigma_kar ('In which Bilbo is unexpectedly injured, Thorin is terrible at showing his emotions, Kíli and Fíli fail at spying and the other dwarves appear only briefly because for Durin’s sake someone needs to be focused on this quest!') 20. Arbutus by shinigami714 ('After the encounter with Azog, Thorin is smitten with the hobbit and does his best the court him with manly and majestic deeds. Unfortunately all of his attempts seem to fail hard.' In which Bilbo enjoys neither gold and riches nor does he care about strength or deeds done in battle) 21. through miles of clouded hell by yaseanne ('Thorin tries to woo Bilbo... but fails miserably at it. In fact, he only manages to scare the living shit out of the hobbit.' Smutty) 22. A Most Unsuitable Match by Ekatarinabeisel76 ('This, Thorin thought as he glowered across the campfire at the hobbit, is exactly why Dwarf-Hobbit couplings were unheard of and unmentioned. After a chain of misunderstandings, Gandalf, and the dwarves offer to help, and by help I mean rig every situation so that Bilbo and Thorin have to share the same space until they get along. They just didn't figure on a few other developments coming out of their meddling.' Featuring overly involved friends) 23. The Hardships of Courtships in the Bagginshield Ship by alkjira ('"I am very majestic," Thorin agreed gently, almost moved to tears as well by the plight of his beloved burglar. "That is true." Bilbo sniffed again and wiped at his eyes, convinced that Thorin would never love him. "But I love you," Thorin continued and proceeded to stick his tongue down Bilbo's throat, because making out with someone who was crying seemed like a reasonable idea.' Umm... this is a parody of basically every Bagginshield fic) 24. Overtures by entanglednow ('Bilbo knows that cities are not built on companionship and the occasional plate of scones.' One word: miscommunication) 25. you lick your lips (you taste like years of being alone) by perkynurples ('Thorin Oakenshield was born without the longing, and has spent his whole life merely observing others as they pursued a feeling unknown to him until they finally found their One. He has made his peace with the prospect of being alone, and has been faring well enough, but little does he know the fates have a different story in store for him.') 26. An Expected Journey by MarieJacquelyn ('For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right? Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.' Time travel; the one where Bilbo spares Smaug, Smaug hatches eggs and is a worried mother hen, Bilbo dies, Kíli and Fíli run off with Tauriel and fake their death, Thorin relinquishes his claim to the throne, and resurrects Bilbo via Manwë and Yavanna) 27. Sheltered Places by lloydsglasses ('Intimacy, Thorin has come to learn, can take many different forms.' Also featuring Bilbo/Thorin/Dwalin) 28. in many-pillared halls of stone by baggvinshield ('Thorin survives the battle, but loses the war.' WHAT THE FUCK. I expected a happy ending when I read the beginning, but this is the creepiest thing ever. And the plot twist at the end is the darkest thing ever. Seriously, READ THE TAGS AND TAKE THEM FUCKING SERIOUSLY. I truly cannot stress enough how important it is that you take the tags seriously. This is dark, even by my standards. Also, probably asexual!Bilbo) 29. Tangled by xxSparksxx ('Bilbo was an oddity, and no mistake. He hated himself for it. He hated himself for ruining the best thing that had ever happened to him – for oh, Thorin. Thorin, who was his best friend, who was both teacher and student to him, who blessed him with such easy smiles and such eager attentions. Thorin, who was quite contented to sit beside a fire with Bilbo and exchange stories. Thorin, who had opened up Bilbo’s heart once more, until Bilbo woke one day to realize he was so deeply entangled in love that there was no hope for it. There was no hope for it. He loved Thorin, heart and soul, and he had ruined it all now.' In contrast to the fic above, this is a hurt/comfort unlike any other. So much hurt and comfort and angst, and so much understanding, and Thorin actually having feelings [it's like watching Erik be polite]. It causes me heartache, but of happiness because THORIN; asexual!Bilbo) 30. Less Interested by shyasamouse ('Bilbo had never before thought of himself as different from any other hobbit lad, but it appeared that there were certain aspects of life where he was. Asexual!Bilbo and the relationships he builds throughout his lifetime.') 31. You Understand, Don't You? by needtosleepawhile ('The company had been in Dale for a few days. While the company planned who would sleep where, they had decided to allow Thorin and Bilbo a room of their own, out of respect for their king, and for the couple’s relationship. But Thorin was nervous. There was something he hadn't told Bilbo, and as more and more of the dwarves began to head up to bed, a sinking feeling grew in his stomach.' Asexual!Thorin, understanding!Bilbo; Thorin does not like being touched in some places. No, it's not what you think. It's actually quite innocent and angsty, with bits of h/c) 32. Two of a Kind by Neyiea ('"Thorin! Thorin, look at this!" He peers at the screen in bemusement, not entirely sure what it is he's supposed to be looking at. Thankfully it only takes a second before Bilbo says, in a sing-song voice, "two asexuals sitting in a tree, S-I-T-T-I-N-G." His eyebrows lift, and he can't help the wry smile that spreads across his mouth.' Asexual!Bilbo, asexual!Thorin) 33. And in the Darkness Bind Them by Cinderstrato ('Settling in for a quiet -- if not peaceful -- life in the Undying Lands, Frodo soon realizes that his adventuring days aren’t quite done after all. In an effort to seek out Ilúvatar himself to beg for a cure for the dark affliction endangering his uncle, Frodo travels far beyond the reaches of Valinor and finds that he isn’t the only one on a reckless journey to save Bilbo’s life.' I thought this story would be very sad, but it actually turned out to also be fluffy and sweet, and yes, it was angsty, but it was to be expected. Afterlife, Mahal, Manwë, Yavanna, other Valar) 34. I Could Be Your Morning Sunrise by KaliTracer ('Bilbo had been sleeping in Thorin's bed since before the Battle of Five Armies, but it was just sleeping. They were more comfortable within arms reach of the other. It wasn't anything more than that. Now if only they could convince the rest of the company of that. Also, all of Erebor would be good too.') 35. The Hammer and the (Baggins)Shield by RogueFanKC ('Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor Odinson has landed in Middle Earth, and it has chosen it's new wielder: Bilbo Baggins, the Burglar! No, the Dwarves aren't jealous. They're not jealous! They're just...sulking. And Thorin Oakenshield is doing his best to convince himself that seeing Bilbo wield a mighty hammer of the Gods wasn't attractive in the least bit. And then Thor Odinson had to finally show up...' Aka, the Thor crossover nobody knew everybody needed) 36. He Lives on top of the Hill by btg101 ('Bilbo Baggins was a lazy dragon (or the one where Bilbo Baggins is a dragon and it changes nothing and everything at the same time.)' Aka, the one where Bilbo tells the Company from the start that he is a Fire Drake. Dragon!Bilbo) 37. Call You Home by northerntrash ('In which the Company are entirely too nosy about matters that are supposed to be a secret, and Bilbo learns that being concerned about propriety is overrated when you could be making friends instead.' I'm just going to have the tags speak for themselves: 'in which it is hobbits that have a secret language and hidden names, and the dwarves can't quite contain their curiosity. Thorin's making puppy-eyes at the Burglar again. Utterly pointless fluff piece if i'm being honest'. Or, the one where Bilbo is named 'the east wind calls you home' and is subsequently shunned by the other Hobbits; ask me not about the logic) 38. Hazy Shades of Summer by Chamelaucium (''You didn't... You didn't hear about hobbits,' he said. 'I don't believe there's much to hear.' Of course, that is where Thorin was completely wrong.' Or, the one where leaves grow on Bilbo's arms and wrists, and he changes eye colour depending on the season) 39. Blankets, Books and Silver Spoons by NightsDream ('Bilbo Baggins wants nothing but to live out the rest of his life with his hoard of blankets, books and his mother's silver spoons. Going on a journey across Middle Earth with a band of thirteen loud and noisy dwarves was certainly not on the dragon's afternoon to-do list.' Good dragon!Bilbo. Or, the one where Ori finds out about Bilbo being a dragon back in Bilbo's smial, and instead of drawing his weapon, he fishes out his journal from his satchel bag and starts to take notes an document Bilbo for future references. No, that's not the entire plot, that's only the beginning, but Ori's polite sass should definitely be included in the summary) 40. Clipped Wings for an Exiled King by WanderingAlice ('Long ago, so long that even the elves with their long memories have only hazy recollections of it, there were dragons. I do not speak of the worms of Morgoth, those poor twisted creatures he made in mockery of Iluvatar's great warriors, no, but of a race of beings that answered to the whims of the Valar, made to guard that which they most cherished. These were great and noble beasts, who knew the value of honor and love, peaceful when possible, deadly when necessary. But they were not prepared for Melkor and his Uruloki. Glaurung came, he and his kin, and in a great battle that lay waste to the green land that had been the home of the dragons, he slaughtered them all. Well, all but one, the youngest, only two hundred years old, who watched his family slaughtered from a hidden cave. Fast forward a couple ages. Bilbo is a dragon. Or, well, he was. He hasn't properly been one in a very long time, not since Smaug and the other Worms of Morgoth killed his family. This is the story of how he regains himself, and gets a new family in the process.' The one where Smaug killed Bilbo's entire family a few thousand years prior to the story, and Gandalf found the young [200 years old] hatchling, and took care of him by giving him away to the Bagginses. Also, the one where Bilbo tells the truth without telling the truth, and is actually willing to go on the adventure. Yay! Dragon!Bilbo) 41. The Tale of Two Time-Traveling Hobbits by Liliume ('Bilbo Baggins takes a nap in the fields of Valinor with his nephew Frodo one day and then wakes up to find that not everything is as it was before. Not only that, but that he has somehow traveled back in time as well. He finds himself young again, in Bag End, and with a very tiny Frodo Baggins sleeping at his side.' Okay, so this one will be harder to explain. Basically, Bilbo, Elrond, Thranduil, Legolas, and a bunch of other elves go back in time; Bilbo, Elrond, and Thranduil are the best brotp ever; Thorin behaves surprisingly well in Rivendell; Estel is being sweetly big-brotherly around Frodo while being adorkably oblivious) 42. A Fool's Hope by TheLadyZephyr ('Thorin wakes up after the Battle of Five Armies the day the company is due to meet their new burglar in Hobbiton. Somehow he must use his knowledge to change their fate, yet secrets and subtlety are not exactly one of his strengths. Thankfully, as always, he has Bilbo Baggins to cover his shortcomings.' Funny, cute, and sweet; time travel) 43. Shatter Me by JafndaegurDreki ('The Fire Drakes of the North were not the only dragons of Middle Earth. There was another race, one much smaller; the Great Dragons. Few were born, and none existed after the dragon Smaug's rage when he attacked their kind in hopes to conquer them. Well, all of them perished except one. One who was hidden away by his kin in hopes that one day, their king might be able to restore their great race; to find the others that had hidden away as well. And he would've stayed hidden away his whole life too. Had it not been for an obnoxious wizard in a pointy hat with an unexpected adventure.' Dragon!Bilbo, Great Dragons. Wherein Bilbo is a half-Fire Drake, half-Great Dragon, shunned by every dragon; Bilbo was the King of the Great Dragon, a sky racer, and is now the last of the Great Dragons. Bilbo, before the story and as a dragon, has met Thorin before, and the two have become friends. No romance, friendship bonding. Bilbo's true name is 'Bryngeir of the Gilded Wings' since he's the fastest dragon alive) 44. I will catch you if you fall by lloydsglasses ('Thorin’s never been amazing at consoling people, considering that his go-to strategy is to make sympathetic noises while trying not to let the other person see how awkward he feels. And Dwalin once said that Thorin’s sympathetic noises made it sound more like he was growling, so it's no wonder that this strategy seems particularly ineffective.') 45. Recovery, Redemption and Romance by Moonbeam (luvsbitca) ('When Thorin is injured in the Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo surprises everyone with his healing abilities. Then as Erebor starts to rebuild he continues to surprise people with his knowledge and skills. On top of everything else that is occuring there is a dwarf king and a hobbit who might be trying to court one another without the other knowing - while their companions are either helpful or confusingly gleeful.' Healer!Bilbo. Okay, so this fic is in my top five Bagginshield fics, and also it has the amazing bonus of Kili/Legolas which is just adorable. Also, scones, cute couples, secret courting, Dwarven traditions, female antiheroes, love triangles, and Thorin Oakenshield being Thorin Oakenshield. Oh, and Bilbo is a pretty damn good healer and shut up Thorin you do not get to have a say in this, mustread) 46. The Foe That Is Mistletoe by Heyerette ('Practically snowed in, Bilbo agrees to spend the winter in Erebor before setting off for the Shire following the Battle of the Five Armies. To his horror, his dwarves have no concept of Yuletide and everything that season brings. He sets out to bring some festive cheer into the mountains halls. Its King finds the appearance of all that strange botany mildly worrisome. And then there are all the needles...' Kili/Legolas, Christmas time) 47. Memories by JkWriter ('When Thorin awoke he was staring into eyes he had long since forgotten. They were eyes filled with worry and concern.' Sherlock crossover, Bagginshield slash; Gandalf is Erik Lehnsherr, slight X-Men crossover. A wonderful Hobbit fic, but a horrible Sherlock fic) 48. On Adventures and Other Forms of Conduct Unbecoming of a Wizard by manic_intent ('For as long as even the old Gaffer could remember there had been a wizard living in the hill at Bag End, overlooking the Shire. As wizards went, this one wasn't the wandering sort, always out to lure gentle folk out onto nasty adventures, or even the powerful kind, the sort that lived in high towers, reaching out into the ways of the world.' Bilbo/Thorin. Wizard!Bilbo. The one where Bilbo uses up all his magic on healing Thorin and bringing him back to life, and Gandalf brings him back to the Shire where he is now tied down to the land lest he fade. Sounds like a bittersweet ending, but the last few paragraphs really turn it sweet and cute and adorable. Gandalf is a sassy fuck that actually, it turns out, cares about Bilbo, kind of like family. Very good) 49. How To Court A Hobbit by stravaganza ('Thorin is just really really bad at flirting. And he tries really hard but somehow it just doesn’t work and he gets more and more frustrated which isn’t helping. It’s kind of ridiculous, really. He can face orcs and wargs and orcs ON wargs but whenever he tries to have a civil conversation with Bilbo the words somehow get switched around before he can speak them. BONUS for him going to Balin for advice, Bilbo being totally oblivious (or totally in the know but not willng to help Thorn out just yet) and Gandalf being endlessly amused and dropping innuendos left and right.”' Bilbo/Thorin) 50. Are you trying to seduce me, Master Baggins? by nutzone ('The Burglar was trying to seduce him, Thorin was certain of it. But he would not let that menace of a vixen get to him, no, Thorin would show the hobbit that he was stronger than that. It was very hard to think straight when Bilbo exposed himself in such a way, though.' Bilbo/Thorin, oblivious!Bilbo, pining!Thorin, cultural differences) 51. Court of Gold and Green by Chamelaucium ('Bilbo is very popular amongst the people of Erebor - after all, he did save their city from a certain dragon. But this has gone too far. The very cheek of it... In which Thorin is jealous of anyone and everyone and Bilbo doesn't even realise.' Bilbo/Thorin) 52. Beneath the Mountains Music Woke by EmilianaDarling ('After being rescued by Bilbo, Thorin begins to realize that his feelings for the halfling are more than simple gratitude. But past ills cannot be so easily undone, and the growing need inside him proves difficult to understand or control. And although he might be king in name, a man without land or wealth has little to offer anyone.' Bilbo/Thorin, pining!Thorin, cultural difference) 53. This Noise Inside My Head by WuNsChKiNd89 ('Bilbo has nightmares about the fight with Azog after escaping the Goblin tunnels, and goes several nights without sleep. He thinks he hides it well, but most of the dwarves figure something is up. They make it to Beorn's before he finally succumbs to exhaustion, with some help along the way.' Asexual!Bilbo/Thorin) 54. Never One For Marriage by Mistamie ('Bilbo Baggins never married, though he lived a long, long life.' Bilbo/Thorin) Silmarillion: 1. The Starless Road by emilyenrose ('"Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”' Maedhros/Fingon; badass!Fingon, the Void, Lorien, Frodo and Sam in Valinor on Tol Eressëa. But seriously, this is one of the best fics I’ve read. It’s a unique case for me, while reading it I had this distinct feeling, sad and bittersweetly hopeful, like I had reading the LOTR itself, closer to its end. It has the same atmosphere, fairy-tale-ish and profound, and something just shines inside it. Also, the angsty yet fluffy bonding, and Maedhros' redemption and regret arc, and Elros and Elrond. If you only read one Tolkien fic, please let it be this one. Please) 2. On the opposite shore of sadness by AngstyChaosMagicUser ('Instead of experiencing a crushing defeat, the Union of Maedhros in successful at the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, sealing Morgoth in Angband and recovering two of the three Silmarils. Apparently not all of Mandos' prophecies come true, and fate CAN be overcome (especially when you throw humans and a very stubborn Maia into the mix). That doesn't prevent everyone from Turgon to the Valar being baffled by Maedhros's seeming triumph over Doom, of course.' Mandatory post-Silm therapy. Maedhros/Fingon, badass!Melian, badass!Galadriel. Galadriel is basically a more diplomatically inclined Fëanor; badass!Maedhros, badass!Fingon) 3. Less Than Kind by emilyenrose ('"I bring a message from my father." Fingon grinned. "I believe his exact words were: you're visiting who, well if you must you must, say something suitable, something something friendship something something kinsmen, tell him good job keeping my brother's sons out of trouble, I'd rather wrestle another ice bear myself – but don't say it like that!" Fingon goes to visit Maedhros, accidentally arrives during a Fëanorion family reunion, and quickly regrets many (but not all) of his life choices.' Maedhros/Fingon; Maglor is sass personified. The second most awkward party/dinner Fingon has ever attended) 4. Come of Age by Fadesintothewest ('Fingon is recently come of age. Maedhros is recently returned to Tirion. Together they forge an everlasting friendship. Maedhros comes to terms with aspects of himself. Together, the two face the conservative social customs and politics of Noldorin society.' Maedhros/Fingon; caring and protective Fëanor; very strict society rules and standards imposed on elves by Valar – even Fingolfin is bitter about it. Depressed!Maedhros. It is neither sugar-coated nor glossed over. His depression is discussed in excruciating detail, brutally honest at times. Dom!Fingon, sub!Maedhros. The story itself was of angst and hurt and comfort and coming to terms with oneself and dealing with mental disease and friendship and love. The epilogue, on the other hand, is everything that was ever dark in the story, times ten. Every dark thought, every morbid potential, everything terrible coming to fruition. The epilogue is the First Kinslaying in Alqualondë from Fingon's POV, with Maedhros/Fingon as the background pairing. Despite that, truly an amazing fic; made me tear up because I could empathize with the characters. The story subtly brought up so many things – some being fantasy like elves and the Valar and Maedhros/Fingon, but most of them hitting a bit too close to home: the conservatism and internalized homophobia in all of Aman, the intricate and dangerous politics of the Noldor, the betrayal of a close friend (that one hurt at the end like nothing ever would), coming to terms with one's sexuality and identity, and dealing with depression. This is a must-read) 5. A New Day by Oshun ('Beginning immediately after Fingon’s rescue of Maedhros from the cliffs of Thangorodrim, it tells of how Fingon and Maedhros reunite and together resolve to heal the divisions among the Noldor.' Maedhros/Fingon; badass!Maedhros; elegant and exquisite writing; very romantic. You can see that the Fëanarion brothers truly care for each other, you can see their bond. Also, Maglor being badass and a very good Regent while Maedhros is captive; Maglor is actually capable of very complex diplomacy, if pressed. Concerning the plot, romance, eloquence, the complexity of the fic, and the sheer pleasure from reading it, it is right up there with 'A Starless Road'. Maedhros himself is stronger than perhaps any elf that ever lived, enduring torture and easily commanding his brothers into submission. Maedhros is also ruthless if need be. Descriptions of torture. If you do character analysis, demisexual!Maedhros; Descriptions of torture and abuse. 'For all their horseplay and bickering, the Fëanárians are nothing if not serious.' The relationship between Maedhros and Fingon is complex. Both are flawed and yet the personal bravery of these two men and their devotion to one another is mythic in proportion. Both are greater because of their relationship with one another. The lifelong aspect of their connection is a primary and memorable part of this tale. The poignancy of their story is that, while Maedhros is failed by his first hero (his father), Fingon, without Fëanor's arrogance and completely lacking any claim to perfection, never fails him. Of course, the doom of the Noldor both illuminates and darkens everything about their tale. All in all, one of the most tragic yet amazing romances I have ever read) 6. Maitimo and Findekáno by Oshun ('Story of young Fingon’s love for Maedhros and its reciprocation. Set in Tirion before the creation of the Simarils.' A prequel to the story above. Fëanor knows and accepts Maedhros/Fingon, while Nerdanel is scared for Maedhros. No, really, Fëanor, for all his faults, loves Maedhros beyond any reason. Maglor is also very acceptant, as are Caranthir and Celegorm. In fact, the entire family is supportive of each other and of their chosen plus ones, like Maglor's Vingarië and Maedhros' Fingon. This story combines the bitter canon with the sweeter imagination, but they do not come out bittersweet, as one would expect. Well, they are a little bittersweet, since we know how it all will end and what their destinies ultimately are, but the author is capable of making us forget about that and just focusing on the now, on Maitimo's sheer force of will, on Findekáno's loyalty and generosity, on Macalaurë's wicked sense of humour coupled total adoration for his older brother, on Maedhros and Fingon's love which transcends life itself. Her depiction of that first wonderful flowering of love between two people and the joy when both learn it is requited is just stunning in its tenderness, complexity, nuance, and honest understanding of the heart – especially when we know what tragedy awaits. In addition I love her depiction of the family and all their complex relationships, especially the warmth and love) 7. Who's the Scabbard? by Sath ('Out of all the difficulties Maedhros expected from re-embodiment in Valinor, Finarfin's sleuthing around for the family newsletter was not among them.' Fëanor is a sarcastic yet lovable jerk. No, seriously, Fëanor's letter is THE BEST. Maedhros' reaction is equally priceless. Galadriel and Finrod are in charge of the newsletter, and everyone is very attached to Maedhros' and Fingon's small dog. You'll die of laughter) 8. The Dragon-helm of Discord by Sath ('How the Helm of Hador found its proper head, explored through letters. Now with a confession of misdeeds by Finrod Felagund.' Also, Maglor, Finrod, and Galadriel are having WAY too much fun writing poems about the love triangle between Maedhros, Fingon, and the dwarf king. Finrod plays matchmaker. 'I have received a most remarkable gift from my lord Fingon. It is a helmet, forged by the great Dwarven smith Telchar, and as you will be thrilled to know, protects me from all harm. Originally, it was a gift from Azaghâl, Lord of Gostabel, to Maedhros Fëanorion, of the red hair and the icy mountain fortress, but then because of a regrettable mix-up, Maedhros gave it to my lord to apologize for the dirty songs about him and Fingon now being about Maedhros and Azaghâl.' That's it. That's the plot. Prequel to the above) 9. No Way You Can Fall by Himring ('Fingon braces himself to defy Namo for the sake of his love of Maedhros, but it turns out to be strangely unnecessary. Ages later in Tirion, there is a rather more dramatic confrontation, when Fingolfin finally suspects the reason why Fingon has immured himself in his house with the cousin he has recently retrieved from Lorien.' Maedhros/Fingon; homophobic language, badass!Fingon) 10. Down. Out. Up. by Himring ('Fingon takes Maedhros home to Tirion after his reincarnation. Finarfin insists on confronting him.' Maedhros/Fingon, a bit of homophobic language, badass!Fingon) 11. Eminently Unsuitable by Himring ('It is reported in the Silmarillion that when Finrod Felagund first met the people of Beor, he had been hunting with Maedhros and Maglor, but had parted from them because he was “wearied of the chase”. According to this story, that was the official explanation given out for his abrupt departure but what in fact had happened was that he had a conversation with Maedhros that first surprised, and then upset him...' Maedhros/Fingon; implied homophobic language) 12. The Military Relevance of Sewage by Himring ('Maedhros carries discretion to extraordinary lengths. In the Second Age, Elrond matches him for reticence.' Maedhros/Fingon; implied homophobic language. Aka, Maedhros writing love letters in code) 13. Ill Chance or Strange Fates by Ivanneth ('Fingon baby-sits, and has an unexpected visitor.' Maedhros/Fingon) 14. Lingering by trollmela ('Maedhros and Maglor both survived the First Age and they are as active in Middle-earth's events as two elves damaged by their failed fight against Morgoth can be.' Gen, various characters) 15. Afar by ncfan ('"She was the second Ruling Queen of Númenor. She was long-lived, and she would wed with no man." -Unfinished Tales, "The Line of Elros", Page 220.' Asexual!Tar-Telperiën, gen, asexuality) 16. F.A. 5 [Years of The Sun] by MeetMeInThePit (Chopsticks89) ('Findekáno won't give up on Maitimo.' PTSD, Maedhros is not okay, like really not okay. Kind of insane!Maedhros, depressed!Maedhros. Maedhros/Fingon) 17. Dancing with my punchlines by LiveOakWithMoss ('In which the sons of Fëanor throw house parties, the beer is terrible, 20-something hipster elves act like their drama is as bad as it is in canon, and macking on cousins is fair game.' Modern AU; Maedhros/Fingon, Aredhel/Elenwë, Celeborn/Galadriel, past Aredhel/Celegorm, Celegorm/Oromë, Caranthir/Finrod, Curufin/Finrod, Nienna/Vána, and others. Maedhros is very protective of Fingon. the feanorians are rich as fuck. In which Maedhros is the goody-two-shoe except not really, and feels guilty all the time, and is all noble and stuff. When Turgon and Finrod get high on hallucinogenic drugs, they dream of gondolin and nargothrond. It's hilarious, really. Maedhros has the best arsenal of embarrassing stories. Demisexual!Maedhros, bisexual!Celegorm, bisexual!Elenwë, lesbian!Aredhel, maybe gay!Fingon, asexual!Curufin. Curufin is eerily like Sherlock: smart, asexual, sarcastic, but caring inside. Maybe grey-ace!Curufin. Seriously, it starts off very chill, and then it goes dark, and then it gets better, and then worse, and then it just goes like a sin curse. Maedhros at first attempts to go into law, before realizing that it isn't what he wants, and goes into teaching instead. I get the feeling that Maedhros more or less raised his brothers. Everyone needs absurd modern Finwions in their life, no exceptions. Really really AU but I love it somehow) 18. The Troll-Bards of Beleriand by Toshimasa ('Thingol wonders what is more wrong with the Noldor than usual lately. Galadriel just shows him a letter from her brother that not only explains a few things but also reveals Daeron as not as sophisticated as he likes People to believe.' Sequel to "The Dragon-Helm of Discord") 19. A Kiss is Never Just a Kiss by Oshun ('Set in Valinor with Fingon/Maedhros and Círdan, with reminiscences of Finwë/Círdan and Círdan/Legolas.' Maedhros/Fingon) 20. New and Improved by Ias ('As a child, Fingon's obvious infatuation with his older cousin was a constant source of amusement in the house of Finwë. When Fingon returns to Tirion fully grown and shockingly attractive, Maedhros is no longer laughing.' Very sweet and fluffy; relaxing and unlike normal angsty Silm fanfics; wonderful. Maedhros/Fingon) 21. our bones only ache while the flesh is on them by Ias ('There is a reason that Galadriel no longer eats meat.' DARK. Well, it's cannibalism. And not the Hannibal kind, either. The really dark and scary kind. Dark!Galadriel, cannibal!Galadriel, gen; they had to eat their people when walking from Aman to Middle-Earth. Provides beautiful contrast with the fic above – it is its complete opposite) 22. Enough for Us by Castiels ('Fingon and Maedhros have a conversation in Valinor about the nature of their relationship.' Maedhros/Fingon) 23. Making Up by MyGirlCrais ('Maedhros and Fingon are always fighting, but Ambarussa have a plan to make them stop.' Maedhros/Fingon; I cannot tell if the twins know about Maedhros and Fingon or if they truly are that oblivious) 24. Maedhros/Fingon: The Owner's Guide and Maintenance Manual by Tenshi Androgynous ('Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of the Limited Edition MAEDHROS and FINGON two-pack, combining the most popular models of the SONS OF FËANOR and CHILDREN OF FINGOLFIN series! Each of these robust units is a sturdy Noldorin Prince, so please read these instructions carefully to avoid mishap.' Maedhros/Fingon, humour) 25. Like a Thunderbolt He Falls by havisham ('Because he prayed for this, and wanted.' Maedhros/Fingon) 26. Rifts by Arhuaine ('Hate marrs the bliss of Valinor as Feanor discovers the relationship between Maedhros and Fingon.' Fëanor is extremely homophobic and Celegorm is simply a stupid jerk) 27. The Scent of Old Books by Arhuaine ('An AU story set in modern England, featuring Maedhros and Fingon, and a shop full of old books.' In which Maedhros and Fingon lived as elves, or maybe reincarnated as elves, into the modern world. Wonderful fic, with lightly implied Maedhros/Fingon) 28. A Less Tragic Cliff by Findecutie, MayGlenn ('During a camping trip with their siblings near the northern mountains of Aman, Maedhros and Fingon strike out on their own. Leaving Maglor in charge of the others, they head for the higher passes searching for new paths and places never before seen by any among the Eldar. Up in the ridges and mountains, they find more adventure then they had intended when a rockslide leads to a close call and an accidental kiss.' Nice Aredhel and Celegorm; Maedhros/Fingon. A truly caring Maedhros. He really takes care of the rest of them and watches over them. A true pleasure to read) 29. Finwë Finds Out by Findecutie, MayGlenn ('While visiting their grandfather’s palace in Tírion, Maedhros and Fingon are caught doing something they really shouldn’t.' Maedhros/Fingon; it is interesting to note Maedhros' personality here: protective yet cautious and somehow fearful of others' reactions. later, in the book, he's more reckless [well, not reckless, but not overly cautious either. Ready to act, that's it] and isolated from people yet people-ignoring. Humour. Finwë is the supportive grandfather with the creepily open sex advice. Finwë had something that vaguely resembled The Talk with Maedhros and Fingon. Also, Finwë is incredibly sassy, like all elves, but nicely sassy, not the Maglor kind of sassy; badass!Finwë) 30. Fëanor Finds Out by Findecutie, MayGlenn ('Fingon surprises Maedhros while the eldest Fëanorians are alone in their father's house for the day. The ensuing romantic interlude comes to a sudden, decidedly unromantic, halt as Maedhros' father (focused on a crafting problem he's come to run by his firstborn) wanders into the room.' Maedhros/Fingon; a bit too slashy for my tastes. i love how Fëanor can put all his prejudice to the side because he knows the betrothal will annoy Fingolfin. You can see the bond Fëanor has with his kids, especially with Maedhros. Nice(ish) Fëanor. Warning: inebriated elves cooking, or more like Fëanor, Maedhros, and Fingon cooking while drunk. At first it's really h/c and more than a bi angsty, but then it goes full-on humour and crack. Love it and love this Fëanor: hardworking and not tolerating idiots yet good to those that deserve it; badass!Fëanor) 31. Fingolfin Finds Out by Findecutie, MayGlenn ('Maedhros and Fingon pull Fingolfin aside as the party begins to give him the news of their betrothal. Though they have more control the situation than when Finwë and Fëanor found out, the discussion soon takes a turn for the worse.' Yes, Fingolfin takes it way worse than Fëanor, which you might think is unexpected, but it actually makes a great deal of sense if you read it) 32. That Hunting Trip by Umeko ('In an attempt at facilitating brotherly bonding, the High Princes of Tirion go on a hunting trip together, with their children, all fifteen of them. Chaos ensues when Irisse's attempt to seduce her cousin goes awry and both brothers and cousins find themselves bonding in unexpected ways.' Smutty smut. Seriously, though there is a vague plot, most of this is smut. It's good smut though, or at least for me: written from a clinical viewpoint, with no mushy emotions. Also, Fëanor is extremely dominant, which in itself is like a good torture fic. Maedhros/Fingon, Fëanor/Fingolfin/Finarfin, Amras/Amrod, Aredhel/Celegorm, Curufin/Finrod, Maglor/Amras/Amrod, Turgon/Elenwë. Basically everybody with everybody) 33. All The Years Between by amyfortuna ('Elrond has newly arrived from over the Sea. Maedhros is terrified that he might hold a grudge. He really doesn't.' Wonderful family bonding; Elrond views Maedhros as his father; Maedhros/Fingon, h/c and fluff and forgiveness and light. The fic leaves you with an amazing feeling of relief) 34. Nor Bid The Stars Farewell by amyfortuna ('Sam and Maglor meet twice in their lives, once long before the Ring Quest, and once long after.' Sort of a sequel to the above; gen, although implied Maedhros/Fingon; Sam physically drags Maglor to Tol Eressëa; badass!Sam) 35. All that we were by Nuredhel ('Maedhros and Fingon are trying to keep their relationship hidden, to prevent a scandal. But when they are discovered the families are thrown into a very difficult situation. Can love survive when paranoia and prejudice rules?' Maedhros/Fingon; It is neither good not bad. It's more neutral. I mean, the punctuation physically hurts at times, but the plot is inventive, and Fëanor is neither glorified not villified – he is his usual jerkish ass) 36. The Lord of Gifts by Petite Dilly ('Maedhros, Fingon... and gifts.' Maedhros/Fingon; In which Maedhros sends Fingon tons of valuable gifts; naturally, people gossip) 37. The winter is warmer by smaragdbird ('Maedhros visits his uncle and cousin in Mithrim to reconcile the family.' Maedhros/Fingon; In which Fingon and Fingolfin find out Maedhros was opposed to burning the ships, and did not participate) 38. All Hang Together by Ithilwen of Himring ('Fingon rides to Himring to hear a proposal from Maedhros.' Maedhros/Fingon; the plan being, of course, the Union of Maedhros) 39. A Simple Bard Indeed by elvenwanderer ('In which Fingon confronts Maglor about Maedhros’ absence, and Maglor proves to be far more than a “simple bard.”' It's a bit hard to tell what this fic is about, not because it has not plot but because the plot is so intricate. Fingon comes to Maglor demanding that he sends out search parties for Maedhros, but Maglor doesn't want to risk an entire army for one man, even his brother. As Regent, he is trying to avoid the crown, but Celegorm wants to announce Maedhros' death and force Maglor to take up the crown. Maglor proves to be a very smart and politically inclined individual and lies and twists the truth and talks circles around Fingon – which Fingon realizes – and finally manipulate everyone [Fingon and Celegorm] into his own favour – which Fingon does not realize; Maedhros/Fingon. Smart!Maglor, badass!Maglor. Very enjoyable fic, suggest warmly you read it) 40. Rebellion by Deborah Judge ('Fingon confronts the Laws and Customs of the Noldor.' Elves' marriage logic: sex leads to love leads to marriage, ans the sole purpose of marriage is kids. Also, Fëanor maybe-approves. Maedhros/Fingon) 41. Sobs of a Broken Soul by Russingon5eva ('Maglor choked back a sob and began stroking his brother's hair. He had known Fingon's death had hit Maedhros hard, but he had neve rimagined that it was affecting him this much.' Drabble; Maedhros/Fingon, Maedhros & Maglor, emotional fic, angst) 42. Of the Stars and Seasons That Come After by jezebel_rising ('This is the story of the Dagor Dagorath, the Battle of Battles and how even the smallest creatures can affect the course of fate.' Bagginshield, just about every character save Aragorn and Arwen, and they will come very soon) 43. Letters to a Daughter by Umeko ('After arriving in Valinor, Elrond writes down his thoughts and experiences in letters addressed to his now mortal daughter.' Maedhros/Fingon; pranks, Gandalf selling marijuana, humour, healing, some grief, bonding, family reunions à la Fëanor, fluff, some angst, h/c, dysfunctional family) 44. Under the Curse by Finch ('The love of Maedhros and Fingon.' Haven't read it too carefully, skimmed through last chapter. Seems worth taking a closer look) 45. A Family Affair by Celandine ('In Valinor, Galadriel has a trying moment when talking to her cousin Maedhros. After Maedhros and his other cousin Fingon discuss matters with his mother Nerdanel, the latter confronts his father Feanor with some hard truths.' Maedhros/Fingon; 1st chapter: Galadriel; 2nd chapter: Nerdanel; 3rd chapter: Fëanor) 46. Traditions by Strigimorphaes ('In exile, Maedhros attempts to rekindle a holiday while recalling how it used to be back in Tirion. Fingon is there too, proving that the more things change, the more some things stay the same.' Close Fëanorian brother bonds, close family Fëanor & Fingolfin & Finarfin bonds, nice!Curufin. Basically the opposite of 'Less Than Kind'. They celebrate a mix of Christmas and New Year; Maedhros/Fingon, supportive brothers) 47. The Revolutionary and the Usurper by Encairion ('The tale of Fëanor and Fingolfin.' Loving Fëanor. Seriously, it's wonderful and light and very pleasant. Fëanor/Fingolfin, Fëanor and Maedhros have a conversation about their 'desires for men'. Seriously, Fëanor is completely and 100% gay and Nerdanel and he are married for the sake of benefits and, in Fëanor's case, keeping up pretenses. Maedhros & Fëanor father son bonding. Beautiful. Fëanor speaks of past regrets regarding not coming out of the closet to Valinor. Also, Melkor makes an appearance. Maedhros is friends and equals with Fingolfin. Nice. Also, Maglor has way more sex than Maedhros does. So far onesided Maedhros/Fingon) 48. Close in Friendship: Homosocial Relationships in the First Age by Miroslav ('The collection gathers diaries, essays, and letters that span over a four thousand year period, beginning with Faramir of Ithilien's private musings on the relationship between Maedhros and Fingon, and ending with a modern essay concerning a cache of letters recently discovered in the Gondorian Archives that sheds further light on several homosocial relationships.' Maedhros/Fingon, among others. I love how people interpret history, and this is a prime example, made the more interesting by the fact that we, as the readers, know the truth, while Faramir makes his own interpretation of the situation) 49. Come Back Together Like The Rising Sun by amyfortuna ('Not long after Thangorodrim, Fingon takes Maedhros on a walking holiday through the country that would become known as Dor-lomin, and falls in love with the land. (He's already in love with Maedhros.)' One of the better Maedhros/Fingon. Fingolfin is actually a very cool guy who plans his son's and his son-in-law's after-wedding feast and is very cool with their relationship, and isplanning to get aboslutely everyone drunk. Also, Maglor composes creepy yet hilarious songs. No, really, it's a lovely song. 'This song was performed only once, very late at night during the Mereth Aderthad. Later reports suggest that the singer was quite drunk at the time, and immediately after singing this, challenged Daeron of Doriath to something called an ‘improv musical strip contest’. History does not record the winner of said contest.' Humour and bonding and some h/c) 50. An Everywhere by amyfortuna ('Fëanáro and Ñolofinwë, following their respective deaths, find themselves locked in darkness with only each other for light.' Fëanor/Fingolfin; a bit too smutty at the end, but overall very pleasant to read. Post-canon fix-it) 51. The World breaks Everyone by mangacrack ('In which Maglor is creepy and insane. His family tries not to care.' Past Maedhros/Fingon, very bittersweet. Not as humorous as it sounds) 52. Her Eyes by lanyon ('As the Dagor Dagorath inches closer, the Elves of the First Age are released from Mandos to live amongst Mortals again. Some do it better than others.' Elves in the modern world; gen) 53. That Auspicious Day by Beleriandings ('Celegorm didn't know, until this moment, about the very important festival of "kiss a ginger day", but luckily Fingon is there to enlighten him.' Maedhros/Fingon, cute) 54. Letter to Fingon by oshun ('Maedhros writes a letter to Fingon questioning the strategy behind his attack on the dragon Glaurung.' Maedhros/Fingon, supportive people, protective!Maedhros, kind of reckless Fingon because he's Fingon; http:///archive/home/viewstory.php?sid=477&chapter=1) 55. Minor Details, Starring Feanorians by Min Daae ('Mandos is never entirely quiet with this family around.' Hilarious post-canon discussions between First Age elves and Third Age elves. Basically every TA elf is scared shitless of the Fëanorians, Caranthir and Celegorm keep interrupting Erestor's storytelling, and Maedhros tries to rein in his younger brothers exasperatedly. It's not really working. Worth reading) 56. Strange Meetings by Min Daae ('Aragorn the Ranger runs into a stranger in the wilds of the North. Three guesses which one. The first two don't count.' Aragorn meets Maglor, who is reminded of Elros. Worth the read) 57. Us Or the Hatchet by Min Daae ('The Feast of Reuniting is supposed to be an occasion for celebration, renewal, and reconciliation. Caranthir is skeptical. Angrod is pretending not to be.' Mutually unrequited Angrod/Caranthir, gen) 58. Your Homeless Souls by Min Daae ('The last two survivors of the House of Finwë meet briefly just outside Lothlorien.' Maglor says that he has to stay alive because somebody had to remember the ones that died all those years ago, remember the world as it once was) 59. Black, White, Gold by Shauna ('The story of Finwe's grandchildren.' Galadriel/Aredhel; Maedhros/Fingon; a bit of h/c) 60. And No Further by Min Daae ('He walks north.' Fingon's thoughts as he goes to rescue Maedhros, and Maedhros' thoughts during and after the torture. Wonderfully sad and bittersweet) 61. Poetic License by StarSpray ('How Fingon got to be called The Valiant, involving a grumpy badger, Fingon's pride, Maedhros' quick thinking, and Maglor's (decidedly wicked) imagination.' Hilarious; Maedhros/Fingon; how Fingon was attacked by a badger and Maedhros saved his reputation) 62. Dispossessed by Min Daae ('In which Dior did give the Silmaril back to the Sons of Feanor. And it's already too late.' In which every Fëanorian but Maglor dies and everything ends in pain and tears and hurt beyond imagination) 63. Each Coming Night by Min Daae ('Maedhros has been captured, and Maglor is trying to be sensible. Trying hard. It's not working very well, not with his siblings. There are fractures, even in this family.' Family arguments, implied torture) 64. And Then There Were None by Min Daae ('Maedhros in his moments of quiet.' Regret and guilt and so much pain) 65. basically everything by Min Daae. She's a brilliant author 66. Truth Inside Your Eyes by amyfortuna ('Fëanor and Fingolfin confront each other in a less public location.' Fëanor/Fingolfin; bittersweet short oneshot) 67. Your Sun by Memaizaka ('In which everybody gets a second chance, and Fëanor and Fingolfin learn to make the most of it.' AU Everybody Lives/Nobody Dies Fix-It; Fëanor/Fingolfin) 68. Heavy the Crown by Arhuaine ('Following his return from Thangorodrim, Maedhros makes an important decision.' Maedhros/Fingon, Fingolfin, the Fëanorians, Finrod; Maedhros renouncing the crown) 69. I Would Have Died A King by daphnerunning ('After Fingon's daring rescue, Maedhros has some decisions to make. Chief among them should be the matter of Kingship, but Fingon has a way of making himself a priority.' Maedhros/Fingon) 70. On Frozen Shores by Ann_arien ('A single scene, on the frozen shores where the Noldorin exiles were inexorably divided shows them as they should have been if Fingolfin had been allowed to keep his oath.' Fëanor/Fingolfin; AU where Fëanor does not abandon Fingolfin in Helcaraxë) 71. Reel On, Love! by havisham ('Fingolfin adjusts to new realities and Fëanor tests boundaries until they break.' Fëanor/Fingolfin; I choose to interpret it as an AU where Fëanor does not abandon Fingolfin in Helcaraxë) 72. Waiting by Lia Whyteleafe ('Fingon has been gone for three months, and Fingolfin still keeps up hope he will return.' Implied Maedhros/Fingon; Fingolfin) 73. Of Fingon and Maedhros by HaloFin17 ('Pretty much the same events that Tolkien relates on Fingon's rescuing Maedhros from Thangorodrim, but in greater detail.' Gen; very Tolkien-esque writing, which is refreshing) 74. What If by Oshun (A What-If-fic in which Maedhros and Fingon make other choices; Maedhros/Fingon) 75. A Slow, Tremulous Cadence by The_Wavesinger ('A ball in which no-one dances, and the morning after. (Featuring angst, politics, conversations, foreshadowing, and a guest appearance by doors. Yes, actual doorways. Also some Maedhros/Fingon.)' Celegorm is a homophobe, and it is implied so is the majority of elves, but wonderful h/c fic) 76. any Maedhros/Fingon by Oshun. Most are sweet yet with so much foreshadowing that they cannot be classed as light 77. don't call me home by Maure ('When Fingon comes to rescue Maedhros, Maedhros believes himself incapable of being rescued. Fingon tries to convince him otherwise.' The one in which Maedhros worries that Morgoth has somehow changed him and made him a threat without Maedhros noticing; Maedhros/Fingon goes without saying) 78. Oh These Saturdays by Min Daae ('We all have hobbies, Caranthir was fond of saying. Kurvo plays the stock market. Maedhros likes to make himself miserable catering to mortal cravings for overly flavored drinks. It's a thing.' The AU where the Feanorians have been reincarnated into the modern day, Maedhros is a barista, and everything is still very dysfunctional. The Fëanorians entertain themselves with hobbies so that they don't have to think about what they have lost and will never regain. Maedhros desperately wants for his brothers to be happy, but represses depression himself. Depressed!Maedhros. Maedhros has two hands, though he keeps forgetting that he can use the right. Everybody is missing Maglor – especially Maedhros, although he shows it the least. The cruelty of their existence is that there really is no point to their existence, where they have always had one. Maedhros finally breaks and admits that he wishes he was dead because he didn't have to deal with anything or worry about anything. Then Maglor shows up and Maedhros finally feels like he can do this. His existence still does not have a point, but he can deal with it thanks to Maglor. An exercise in implied background history and plots. Short, neat, and to the point) 79. Taking the Sword by Ithilwen ('Maedhros learns the art of swordfighting, and discovers his true talent.' Gen; badass!Maedhros. Maedhros secretly trains himself in swordfighting in his room. Maedhros has a true talent towards swordfighting, and protects Maglor from Curufin being an ass. He then regrets it, because he felt powerful and prideful and enjoyed causing Curufin pain, but Curufin says that Maedhros will need his talent soon, since both Fëanor and Curufin have premonitions about something bad happening soon) 80. To Save The Whole by French Pony ('Fingon has had enough of the feud that divides his family, leaving the Noldor powerless in the face of Morgoth. He is sure that his cousin Maedhros holds the key to a reunion. But Maedhros is currently a prisoner of Morgoth in Angband, and there are no plans to rescue him.' Maedhros/Fingon; Maedhros causes chaos by cheerfully reminding every Nolofinwion that they are now the ruling royalty and have to behave like it. http:///chapterview.asp?sid=2977&cid=12029) 81. Comes the Dawn by Ithilwen of Himring ('Maedhros enters the Halls of Mandos, and his final fate is revealed.' Maedhros/Fingon; Mandos) 82. Noldor Falling by doodlebutt ('Russingon with bonus Fëanorians. Or possibly Fëanorians with bonus Russingon.' Despite the summary, it is not humour. Well, a bit of dry humour, and dark humour, but mostly this story is about acceptance, and family, and prejudice, and loyalty, and love, ang hurt and comfort mixed with angst. I absolutely adore this fic and everything about it – from the way Fingolfin is more alike Fëanor than he would like, and yet so very different; Maglor's reluctant acceptance of Maedhros and Fingon, if only to annoy everybody else; Curufin's pride and righteous anger; Finrod's ever-cheerfulness and sassiness; and Celebrimbor's steady refusal to be called by his Quenda name. Maedhros/Fingon; Curufin/Finrod. Finrod is a smirking vindictive fuck, and anyone trying to tell you different is wrong. 'Their lives are falling apart, and they're taking the world down with them.') 83. from me to you by flamingflamingos (baradduh) ('Letters concerning the relationship between Fingon and Maedhros through the time of Valinor and the First Age (Other letters included at the request of Elrond Half-Elven).' Maedhros/Fingon. This was brilliant, everything from Fëanor and Fingolfin's letter insults, to Maedhros and Fingon's obscure love letters, to Maedhros admitting his continuous mistakes to a dead Fingon, to Nerdanel acting as Maedhros and Fingon's therapist) 84. Show Us by LuxaLucifer ('"Don't you have any curiosity?" asked Maitimo, throwing his packed saddlebag at him. "I'd have thought you, of all people, would want to come and meet the Secondborn." "Whatever for?" asked Macalaurë, pleasantly exasperated. "To write a song about it, of course."' Gen) 85. The Silmarillion Rewrite by Jenavira (A humorous version of The Silmarillion, yet completely truthful. At times more tragic than the original, under a thin veil of wit; not-so-subtly implied Maedhros/Fingon) 86. Six Word Stories by Beleriandings ('Tiny bits of fic from the six word story prompt meme on Tumblr.' Maedhros/Fingon, most stories are either dramatic or angsty; don't be fooled by the six word limit – this author can do a lot of damage in six words) 87. Fistful of Swoons by havisham ('Fingon arrives in Formenos on a clandestine mission -- to spend some time with his cousin, Maedhros.' Maedhros/Fingon, secret relationship, Maglor accepting Maedhros and Fingon since Maglor is next in line for the throne after Maedhros) 88. Catch a Handful of Stars by kaleidomusings ('It was a tradition among the Noldor.' The one who proposes marriage then has to hunt for his betrothed in a forest, and the betrothed has to let himself or herself get caught. Weird tradition, but then again, these are the Noldor. Fingolfin gives Maedhros and Fingon his blessing, while Fëanor is against it. Nerdanel provides quiet support. Implied dom!Maedhros and sub!Fingon) 89. Mystery First Age Elves by havisham ('Stuck between the pages of an ancient anatomy book, Glorfindel is surprised to find images that are, perhaps, not intended to teach so much as to titillate. Naturally, he brings them to Elrond for his expert opinion.' Maedhros/Fingon; humour, Elrond, Glorfindel) 90. A Fire Greater Than Thou Knowest by simaetha ('In the AU where Sauron decided not to join Melkor, the Darkening still happens. But events proceed rather differently from there.' Maedhros/Fingon; Celebrimbor/Sauron; gratuitous Fix-It – but don't worry, it gets worse eventually. Finarfin goes into exile with Fëanor and Fingolfin, Fëanor doesn't burn the ships at Losgar, and Maedhros loses the sight in one eye instead of a hand. The drama remains remarkably similar to the canon, except Fëanor redeems himself a bit in the end) 91. Special Muffins by yeaka ('Maedhros opens the shop early to deal with pesky brothers, safeguard his father’s recipes, and chat with perfect cousins.' Honestly, Maedhroms/Fingon is one of the few pairings that can successfully pull off a modern coffee shop AU. Sweet, yet somehow bitter too) 92. Gloom, Doom and Maedhros by Himring ('Maedhros saga, with main focus on Maedhros' life in Beleriand but spanning all the way from the Time of the Trees almost to the end of Arda. The series is Maedhros/Fingon and the development of their relationship is one of the main interests of the saga, but other stories in the series look at Maedhros's interactions with his brothers, uncles, cousins, friends--basically whoever he is known or can be assumed to have interacted with.' Takes a long time to read through it all, and you don't have to read them in order or even read them all - they all work very well as stand-alones) 93. Here comes the rush before we touch by LiveOakWithMoss ('How Fingon and Maedhros met and were basically doomed to date from day one.' Demisexual!Maedhros; Maedhros/Fingon) 94. Of Copper and Gold by Strigimorphaes ('Maedhros resides in Himring, planning and protecting. One evening, Fingon arrives with an urgent matter on his mind - and a friendship that has lasted centuries may change in the course of a night.' Maedhros/Fingon; love confessions, h/c, romance. My heart hurt through every bit of this - so lovely and so painful when you think of what's ahead for them. The notes worked splendidly as an epilogue. It provided a dark and clean contrast to this passionate fic. So beautiful. The words that "I'll be there," almost made me cry. But just think about hope I try to keep telling myself as they both already had preparations to end up in Mandos and even if even so Fingon would find him. But still painful. Maybe dying together is better) 95. Assault to Abjury by havisham ('Maedhros defied his father only once.' Maedhros/Fingon, the one where Maedhros stayed with the rest of the Noldor while the Fëanorians took the ships to Losgar and burnt them. Canon divergence, foreshadowing like a big bag of hammers. Somehow, Celegorm the Asshat became king after Fëanor was killed) 96. Disobedience by trollmela ('Maitimo was not obedient. He was not the perfect son. He was an elf in love with his cousin.' The one where Fëanor and Finwë find out, and then everybody knows, and Maedhros and Fingon are forbidden from seeing each other, but they sneak off anyway. The end is, as is the custom in Silm fics, dark, with Fëanor burning ships because he doesn't want Fingon anywhere near Maedhros. Outright homophobia) 97. Handfasting by trollmela ('Their handfasting was probably the most unassuming one since that of Olwë and his wife. It takes place in a forest in the mountains of Valinor. They had only been out of the Halls of Mandos for two weeks. They don’t need words, or anyone else but each other.' Maedhros/Fingon; surprising lack of homophobic language and actions. The Vala approve) 98. Transparent after the rain by LiveOakWithMoss ('Fingon and Celegorm, caught together in a storm, speak of their siblings.' Maedhros/Fingon, Celegorm/Aredhel, lots of foreshadowing, light fic) 99. Foolish Heart by LiveOakWithMoss ('Fingon seeks a midnight snack and gets more than he bargained for.' Maedhros/Fingon, Fëanor. This started fun and got sad, without the author really getting any say in any of it. I personally blame Fëanor) 100. You Drove Me Wild by LiveOakWithMoss ('Fingon and Maedhros, in the years before the Doom.' Maedhros/Fingon, a bit of Celegorm/Aredhel) 101. Of Songs, Strawberries and Silver Nights by Beleriandings ('In Tirion in the Years of the Trees, Maedhros and Fingon are fast friends despite the growing tension within the house of Finwë. But there is another kind of attraction there too, and it can no longer be denied.' Maedhros/Fingon.

Late Last Night by trollmela ('The night before what would later be called the Battle of Unnumbered Tears an intruder climbs through Maitimo’s window.'

It seems that he refuses to let Valinor heal him." Who knew that meeting a much younger elf in a similar situation would help an aged former kinslayer.' Implied Maedhros/Fingon or Maedhros&Fingon. Maedhros meets Legolas, who is grieving for Gimli and his mortal friends back in Middle-Earth. Maedhros is more or less manipulated by Elrond to teach Legolas Quenya. This story points out a very overlooked fact: the elves of Middle-Earth use Sindarin as a first language, yet when they sail West, they will need to know Quenya) 105. Respite by ncfan ('Where the kids go when their parents are arguing.' Maedhros goes hunting with Fingon, Celegorm drags Aredhel after them, the twins go to Maglor and his wife, Caranthir goes to his older aunt, and Curufin goes to Finrod who then drags him after the people who went hunting.

Mythic Grandeur by Enelya ('The Valar have differing reactions to the latest myths that come from Middleearth.' Aka What Happens When You Mix Tolkien with Greek Myths) 118. Redemption by AzureSkye23 ('After their return to life, Beren and Lúthien travel north, seeking the origins of a disturbing rumor. When the truth turns out to be beyond their wildest imagination, can they find pity in their hearts for a former tormentor?' Gen, Lúthien/Beren, Sauron, must-read. Headcanon: Gandalf is Sauron's brother. Well, technically all Maia were siblings, but Sauron and Gandalf were closest) 119.

Fëanáro's Epic Fail: Loopholes by fantasychica37 ('For an unbreakable Oath that called on the three most sacred names in Eä, the greatest of the Noldor really didn't put much thought into it...' Fëanor forgot Morgoth in his Oath, while Mandos' incorrect use of grammar doomed all followers of the Valar. Also, Elwing doesn't need to give up the Silmaril to Maedhros since she is not a man and therefore not included in the Oath) 121. Many Meetings by WalkingInTalaria ('A series of short stories in which some slain First Age elves (and others) meet each other again in the Halls of Mandos. Some reunions are more pleasant than others. Celegorm, Finwë, Celebrimbor, Fëanor, Morgoth, Huan, the Ambarussa, and Caranthir have joined their ranks in addition to those shown below.'

Much conversation ensues. Featuring Celeborn, Finarfin, and a cameo by a much loved Peredhil lord and his lady.' Galadriel/Celeborn. Good enough; bonus points for making Finarfin interesting and not a sexist) 123. Talking Hurts by lipstick ('Maedhros is rescued from Thangorodrim, Maglor tries to talk him back to sanity.' Maedhros/Fingon, but sexless. Mentions of rape and torture, which is why Maedhros does not want to sleep with Fingon anymore) 124. Just One Victory by Eriala ('Morgoth never hangs Maedhros from Thangorodrim, which means Fingon is unable to rescue him. Centuries later, the Union of Fingolfin results in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and a prisoner takes his chance for escape.'

A Good Day by LuxaLucifer ('Maitimo is an older brother who's always there for his siblings, even if it means telling embarrassing stories about his teenage years to an unhappy Carnistir.' Gen, very sweet, family, Maedhros & Caranthir. Wonderful story. Love this Maedhros) 131. For A Time by Jaffee Leeds ('A Conversation between Maedhros and little Elros, featuring a sleeping Elrond and watchful Maglor.' Gen, a bit of foreshadowing, mostly bonding) 132.

Maglor cleaned his damp forehead with a handkerchief and looked around. There were shirtless Elves in every direction, but no red-headed ones.

Fingon finds Maedhros to be an amazing king. Maedhros is Fingon's king, and Fingon is Maedhros'. Go figure. Maedhros&Thingol bonding and forgiveness. Maedhros intercedes on Thingol's behalf so that Thingol may get out of Mandos, and Thingol is both surprised and infuriated by that. Light Maedhros/Fingon.

He has remained in hiding there ever since, but when he receives news of the kinslaying in Doriath he must find Maedhros once more.' So much angst. The thing is, this fic made me truly realize what a heartbreaking story Maedhros and Fingon are. Maedhros never really had a choice, and his conscience knows that it is wrong, and so does Fingon's. But Maitimo is still forced to commit these atrocities, and it breaks both of their hearts. Then Fingon died during the Kinslaying at Sirion. 'Maitimo, it could not have been you, you have only one hand. But did you give the order for that arrow? You may as well have.' Maedhros/Fingon) 155.

An Illusionary Affair by Zhie ('Stuck at a terrible party, Fingon and Turgon attempt to make the best of it for their sister's sake.' Sweet Aredhel/Celegorm and Maedhros/Fingon, mostly gen though, the one with Aredhel's all-white party and a double faking being Aredhel so that she can sneak out with Celegorm and Fingon and Celegorm hating each other) 159.

For there are things that Elrond has yet to forgive, and he would very much like to discuss these matters with Nelyafinwë. If only Fingon would let him into the house, though.' Maedhros&Elrond father/son bond which is actually quite lovely, Maedhros/Fingon, post-Mandos, post-Third Age, angst, h/c. Maglor has been reborn but has not contacted Elrond) 163.

Viggo/Orlando; wherein Viggo speaks English, Danish, Spanish, and French, and Orlando taught himself how to say 'I love you' in Danish. Very sweet and fluffy, short oneshot) 16. Analysis of the Obvious by Élizabeth (watersword) ('It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.' It's Viggo/Orlando preslash, maybe unrequited, maybe requited. It is hard to tell. I cannot even say with certainty what the plot is, but the writing is pleasant enough) 17. Flash by zarah5 ('Taking pictures totally counts as a courtship ritual.' Viggo/Orlando. Orlando's commentary is the best. It is not sassy, it's more like an inner monologue with funny adds. The ending is sort of bittersweet, because Viggo and Orlando both realize that this will not last forever: the recording will end, and even if that will not break them apart, they will not be interested in each other forever due to their age differences, and even if that does not break them up, death will, and Viggo will die a lot sooner than Orlando) 18. Natural Progression by zarah5 ('Wherein you'll find prissy elves and filthy humans. Or, alternatively: Wherein no one cries, dies, takes drugs, attempts suicide, is raped or injured in a bad car accident.' Viggo/Orlando. Or, fluff all around. The one that alternates one scene flashback with one scene present. Viggo and Orlando sleep together in the present, so the past is pre-slash. They sleep together at a LOTR cast reunion with the Fellowship, while Orlando is filming Pirates of the Caribbean. Viggo then decides to visit Orlando in the Caribbean. They joke with each other all the time, and every conversation is so light, it is such a pleasantry to read. It also has some very deep friendship, kind of Agapé love) 19. The Babysitters by bec2224 ('Elijah and Dom, would you trust them with your child?' Elijah and Dom babysit Viggo and Orlando's daughter Sadie. Adorable and funny) 20. My Daughter Is Dating An Orc! by bec2224 ('Sadie wants to date, Viggo has issues.' Sequel to 'Babysitters'. Liv, Orlando, Viggo, Sadie. OFC, OMC. Unintended homophobic language) 21. The Missing Ingredient by chaosmanor (Viggo/Orlando, cute fluff) Good: 1. Remedial Smithery by Claudi007 ('In Fourth Age Valinor, Legolas tries and fails to learn a new skill.') 2. Of Mirth And Folly by Slacker Mentality ('On the eve of the Fellowship's formation, the restlessness of its participants result in lunacy audiences weren't privvy to. Legolas sabotages Aragorn's romance, stoned Hobbits Merry & Pippin go wild, and Gollum is involved in many a mishap.') 3. Green Stone by Darkover ('Ioreth tells her cousin of the new King and his wondrous green stone. Bookverse. Written for the "Colours of Middle-Earth" challenge at Teitho, where it won Second Place.') 4. —and it was done by Neoinean ('Detailing a simple rescue mission that, for once, goes off without a hitch.' Wherein Legolas gets himself kidnapped, and it is up to Aragorn to rescue him) 5. Horse and Rider by Michelle (wherein Aragorn quite literally walks into an iron trap. Luckily, Mouse the horse rescues him. Light Aragolas but no clear mentions) 6. Faramir is Aragorn's son by Iris (http:///Faramir_is_Aragorn’s_son) 7. The Test of the Fellowship by morgana, Ladyana5 ('When Legolas gets wounded in battle he keeps it to himself, not wanting to slow them down. His secrecy has terrible consequences.' Never quite finished reading it, as I felt it was a bit too long) 8. Comes Around Again by scarletjedi ('Gimli closes his eyes, an old Dwarf on the brink of death in the home he had built with his husband in the Undying Lands, and opens them again as a young Dwarf in his childhood home in Ered Luin. He's returned to the tumultuous week before The Company set out to recruit their Burglar from his cosy hobbit hole. Gimli, once again a impetuous teen in the eyes of his family, must get into that Company--the lives of his loved ones, and the very fate of Middle Earth--depends on it.' Time travel, Gimli/Legolas) 9. Watched by stars28 ('Do you ever get that feeling that you're being watched?' Rushed but adorable Kili/Legolas, with Thorin choking on his own spit and Thranduil being all WHAT) 10. History Teaches Us by Drenagon ('To reclaim their kingdom, the Company of Thorin Oakenshield will need all the help they can get.' Thorin time travels back to the past, BAMF!Thorin, gen) 11. Poor Old Bilbo by Star Fata ('Bilbo's an eternal bachelor, the neighbours sigh. He doesn't understand why this is a sad thing.' Asexual!Bilbo, gen. Here be an asexual hobbit- because let’s be honest, Tolkien pretty much wrote him that way in any case) 12. Life After Death by LyriaFrost ('An untold story of what happens after the end of King Elessar's reign.' Aragorn&Legolas, Aragorn&Elrond, reincarnation or rebirth or something, Aragorn is in Valinor) 13. The Song of Aragorn and Boromir by evocates ('Mordor fell and Elessar was new-crowned, but even peace had its own dangers. Months after the coronation, the King and his Lord Steward faced their first test in the form of one Man’s greed.' Aragorn/Arwen, Aragorn/Boromir, Boromir Lives AU, Boromir&Faramir, Elrond Disapproves, very well-written) 14. The Gleaming Road by Mel Blue 1 ('When Denethor orders Faramir to seduce Eomer it highlights some cultural differences between Gondor and Rohan, and leads to a moment of self-discovery for Faramir.' Rohan is open about homosexual relationships and Gondor is homophobic. Smut but skippable, Faramir/Eomer) Pirates of the Caribbean: Sparrington: 1. Misdirection by Jenavira ('Set shortly after the first movie, ignoring all the others. (Written, indeed, shortly after the first movie, before any of the others existed.) Jack Sparrow's taken a letter of marque, and Norrington's life has taken a turn for the strange. Still, any excuse to get out from behind a desk for a while.' Hilarity ensues when Jack Sparrow, of all people, joins the Navy. No, this is not a joke. This is 100% serious. The thing with the Pirates is that no matter whose POV you read, the pirates' or the Navy's, it always is hilarious and leaves you satisfied, since both sides do have some valid points. Norrington's dry wit is the best. Jack/Norrington. Domesticity. Dreamy usage of semicolon. Sseafaring adventure, unnecessarily complicated seduction techniques, adorableness, content stolen from Irish myths, and also C.S. Lewis. Cameo by 'a squiggly thing', and enough cuteness to put a kitten to shame. Privateer!Jack, badass!Jack, BAMF!Jack, badass!Norrington, BAMF!Norrington. Come on, though, we are talking about the same author who wrote the rewrite of the Silm. Mustread) 2. Pirate Vindaloo A Sparrington Novel by elessil, Hippediva ('Commodore Norrington and Captain Sparrow find themselves in a nasty jam and must rely on one another to escape.' Jack/Norrington. All kinds of abuse: mental, verbal, emotional, physical, almost sexual, starvation, almost torture... You name it, they've got it. It's an innate part of this fic. It took me a while to catch on, but Jack seems broken somehow, and trying to hide it. After Norrington comes back, the Navy basically says they have replaced him and don't need him anymore, which is such a jerkish move. Norrington's replacement is nice though, and sincerely not part of the plot to replace Norrington. It seems to me Jack and Norrington are also playing parents to a kid named Matthew. Ends with Norrington going with Jack to the Pearl, although not becoming a pirate but a privateer to Jack's second ship the Penelope. Semi-sentient ships, the Black Pearl and the Penelope. The writing style is a mix of insane Sparrow logic and Hannibal metaphors and speaking anything but plainly. Privateer!Jack, privateer!Norrington. Lovely fic, beautiful ending. I think what I liked the most is that Norrington went down from being one of the most revered people in the Navy, to basically a slave on a ship, to the first mate of the most infamous pirate, to a shamed former Commodore, to a freelance privateer, and yet he lost none of his beliefs in right and wrong. For all that he went through, he did not give up that vital part of his personality and did not become a pirate, choosing instead to continue to serve the British Navy even as a civilian. It is very rare to have that kind of loyalty and devotion, and it is heartening to see. Also, Jack and Norrington learn to trust each other at sea while they are kidnapped. The only warning I have about this fic is that it is freaking 180k words. That's the same amount of words as in The Fellowship of the Ring. Also, very little outright smut. Shadow-truths and Robin Hood analogy. Matelotage. Letter of marque for both Jack and Norrington. An obvious mustread) 3. Monday Morning by the_dala ('"You're in my bed," said the commodore to the pirate.' Just as hilarious as it sounds, although a bit more serious and slashy, though not by much. Jack/Norrington) 4. If the Rum Were Not Gone by elessil ('In which Norrington is taken hostage during the commandeering of the Interceptor. In the turn of events, it is Norrington and Jack who are marooned on the island.' Jack/Norrington, dom!Norrington, sub!Jack. Trust me, it works) 5. Smooth Sailing (DJ Unrepentant Remix) by Aris Merquoni (ArisTGD) ('James Norrington's induction into the crew of the Black Pearl did not go entirely without issue.' Jack/Norrington. Sorry, this is too hilarious for words. Jack and Norrington have a private/public war, in which Jack mutilates and burns Norrington's wig, and Norrington throws all the rum off the ship. The question of which side they are all on is kind of unanswered. On one hand, letter of marque. On the other, Norrington is an ex-Commodore. Anamaria and Gibbs are the sane ones on the ship, and also Jack and Norrington's babysitters. They are basically spying. I'd like to imagine this could be set in similar circumstances to the ones that are at the end of the Sparrington Novel. Letter of marque. Crack, privateer!Jack) 6. An Utter Lack of Contrition by curiouslyfic ('This is, without a doubt, the worst apology he's ever heard. He pins this squarely on their utter lack of contrition.' Jack/Norrington, crack, hilarious, prequel to the above. A long and complicated courting ritual. Letter of marque. Privateer!Jack) 7. A Scandal in Port Royal by oneiriad ('A year after Will and Elizabeth marry, Jack returns to make James Norrington an offer.' Post-Curse AU. Jack/Norrington, pirate!Norrington. The one in which Jack waltzes into a private party and offers, at gunpoint, Norrington to join his crew onboard the Pearl, then leaves. Norrington then disappears hours later, only to reappear months later as a pirate onboard the Pearl. Matelotage. Pirate!Norrington. Grammatically simple, which is part of its charm. Short oneshot, very much worth reading) 8. Falling Into Heaven, Falling Into Hell by oneiriad ('At the end of CotBP, James manages to fall over the cliff with Jack. Jack, being the industrious fellow we all know and love, promptly manages to take him hostage.' Jack/Norrington. It's remarkably beautiful and gorgeous, it's probably one of the most vivid fanfic I ever came across. So brilliant, so natural, so amazing. Although at the beginning Norrington feels a little bit camp and fragile, as the story goes, everything becomes so natural. If Norrington and Jack were real, they would develop their relationship like this. If the lies interact with reality, if they are able to change and shape the reality, do the lies not become real themselves? Sparrow gives N a golden necklace with an emerald 'to match your eyes'. Sparrow knows his Greek philosophy, especially Plato. I cannot help but see it as Jack getting himself a new pet Commodore, and the rest of the crew being jealous. Sparrow is scarily good at predicting the future – and by that, I mean three hundred years into the future. He's like a pirate da Vinci. Whipping. After the whipping, Norrington is scared of Jack. In which Jack is a sophisticated person, though he tries to hide it: he speaks Plato, reads Shakespeare. For all his faults, I find I love this Norrington. He just takes a bit of time to get used to – or rather, the grammar of this story. Don't let the first few enormous paragraphs stop you. Pretty resplendent fic, definitely worth the read. The one with Jack getting two kittens as ship's cats, and Norrington writing down the ship's rules. Anamaria with a lash is badass. BAMF!Anamaria. Norrington's thoughts sometimes give me that feeling I last felt with Back Drifting and How To Fall – you know, that feeling in your gut, both very pleasant and, recenty, so strong it is not very pleasant, but at the same time very nice? Also, Norrington's self-deprication and Christian belief is the best thing ever. I've always loved the emotional part of a fanfic and abhorred the physical part. This fanfic is perfect for me. It takes Norrington 70k words to fall in love with Jack. A must-read, very well-developped emotions, 1st POV. Developping relationship, falling in love. Smart!Jack; Jack knows French, Spanish, Shakespeare, and Greek philosophers like Plato. Quite honestly, it is my favourite PotC fic of all times. It is perfect in every way, from smart!Jack to Norrington's character development. Permanent hiatus, but it is cut off at such a place that you're not left exactly left hanging – consider it an ambiguous ending instead. Okay, this is my favourite PotC fic of all times, as well as my Sparrington headcanon. Mustread!) 9. Expect the Unexpected by oneiriad ('James Norrington had never expected to enjoy himself at the wedding of William Turner and Elizabeth Swann.' Jack/Norrington. Bloody heteronormativity; somewhat implied homophobia, but mostly fluff) 10. These Exiled Years by the_dala ('“Have a drink with me,” he had said. “Just one drink, and then I swear I’ll let you chase me all about town.”' Jack/Norrington, angst. It is almost the exact opposite of the fic above) 11. Stay the Night by icarus_chained ('Jack's about to sneak out. James asks him to stay.' Jack/Norrington; negotiations, James Norrington breaks my heart, light h/c or angst, some fluff. Post-CotBP) 12. A Fine Man by Elayna ('The Commodore wakes up in an unfamiliar bed.' Jack/Norrington. In which Jack was on his way to congratulate Will and Elizabeth on their firstborn, while Norrington is on his way away from them, being gloomy because Elizabeth wants to name their kid James if it is a son; Jack decides to kidnap Norrington since 'a change of scenery always does a person good'. It escalates quickly from there. Also, the son probably ends up a Jonathan) 13. One Silly, Bloody Wish Later by Batagur ('Jack Sparrow makes a wish for himself... sort of.' More like Jack sees a shooting star and pointedly tries not to think about what he wants, which is Norrington, since all wishes he makes have a tendency to go south. Jack and Norrington end up on an island, but Norrington cannot leave it without dying, so Jack goes looking for the Fountain of Youth to use its waters to fully bring Norrington back to life. There might or might not be angst and h/c and love confessions in there somewhere, too. Post-AWE, resurrection. In which Jack and Beckett met each other in a different way from canon. 'What's more, there are still all manner of interesting and mysterious prizes to find out there, and we still have the chart. Me and Jamie, we could be chasin' that ol' horizon until the world comes to a bleedin' end.' James Bond and Jack Sparrow are cats) 14. Light by emungere ('Norrington gets recalled to England. He's not going.' He meets up with Jack instead and becomes first mate of the Black Pearl. Also, strongly implied Jack/Norrington established relationship. The Admiralry wants to court-martial Norrington on the grounds that he always lets Jack Sparrow slip away, 'lets' being the key word. Pirate!Norrington) 15. Standard Procedure for Revenge by kayliemalinza ('James Norrington's deepest desire is to catch Jack Sparrow and string him up. You know, in the name of Justice and Revenge. No latent homosexual tendencies or sexual perversions responsible whatsoever.' Rope bondage, accidental kink, mild bdsm. Humour. Jack/Norrington/Will; Elizabeth encourages Will to sleep with Jack and Norrington. Norrington, having tended his resignation years ago, hunts for Jack for revenge. Kinky. Not sure if Will's captain of the Flying Dutchman, but it is awesome nonetheless. I treat it as a canon divergence after CotBP. Worth the read) 16. The Offer by doolabug ('Commodore Norrington has an offer for Captain Sparrow.' Jack/Norrington, Norrington offers Jack a letter of marque. Very dom!Jack, sub!Norrington) 17. Terms For A Cease-fire by Tarn ('James can't forget the one that got away, which makes his job and his life hard. The impending wedding only makes it worse. The real problem is, it's not Elizabeth he's pining for...' My goodness. It went from 'I'd want to fuck you and then kill you' to 'you own my heart and are the reason for my existence'. A bit of homophobe!Will, accepting!Elizabeth, accepting!Governor Swann, accepting!Gibbs, accepting!Anamaria. Lots of homophobic language. Past Jack/Bill Turner. Norrington is similar to Maedhros in 'Come of Age', minus the depression – you know, the whole 'dealing with unnatural urges' thing. The entire fic is delicious, and there are at least three sequels worth reading – haven't read the last one, as threesomes are not really my thing. Rape, non-con, kidnapping. The one with a past lover of Jack's getting revenge. Must-read) 18. Unfair Tactical Advantage by kayliemalinza ('In negotiations with the captain, James has an unfair tactical advantage.' Set on the Black Pearl, after the Pirates III That Should Have Been—Jack is back on the Pearl, James is with him, and the Turners have exited the scene. AU, obviously. No spoilers. Maybe pirate!Norrington. Anger, humour, funny) 19. Whistle and I'll come to you by azziria ('All the brandy in the world can't erase the memory of those eyes.' In which Norrington succeeds in hanging Jack back in CotBP, and Jack comes back to haunt Norrington. It is dark, and it is creepy, and it is one of the best oneshots of any fandom. Must-read) 20. New World by kayliemalinza ('James wakes up to find somebody blaspheming in his kitchen.' Character death fix, in this case Jack. Post-DMC. Jack defeats the Kraken with a sword, and shows up in Norrington's kitchen to convince him to switch to piracy. Norrington agrees. The Pearl is at the bottom of the ocean though) 21. A Peculiar Nuisance by 0oxymoronic0 ('James Norrington woke up, which is always a pleasant surprise, especially seeing as he was supposed to be dead. Sparrington long oneshot of doom.' Barbossa resurrects Norrington and kidnaps the Turners so that he can lure Jack Sparrow to him and get his compass. In the end, Jack escapes with the Turners, Norrington, and his compass, and Jack and Norrington sail happily away into the sunset on the Pearl. Happy ending, somewhat angsty but mostly fluffy from what I've read. Jack's compass now points, when Jack is the one holding it, mostly at Norrington, which, to be fair, is to be expected) 22. Mischief by Stowaway ('Jack drives Norrington crazy.' First time Jack/Norrington; basically just a funny oneshot) 23. Compromises by Stowaway ('Picks up where Trust and Honour left off, on the morning James Norrington leaves Port Royal for the last time.' You don't need to read 'Trust and Honour' to get this – I didn't. The only thing you need to know is what you suspect already: established Sparrington. Several times removed sequel to the above. Jack has been betrayed and wounded, and the cheerful front he puts up is just that – a front. He used to sleep with Anamaria. Jack speaks French. It seems this has gone on for quite some time, with some kidnappings along the way. Norrington integrates himself just fabulously with the Pearl's crew. Jack is very protective of the Pearl, but also willing to let others steer her. What I especially enjoy here is that Jack isn't always nice: he is dark, he is a pirate, and he damn well enjoys it. It is a cold reminder for Norrington. Dark!Jack. Anamaria truly cares, but she is so fed up with Jack's bullshit, she behaves a bit weirdly. Still, her behaviour is explained and understandable at the end. Jack finally decides to switch to trading. The final plot twist is that it was Pearl all along who, being the awesome semi-sentient ship that she is, convinced him to switch. Anamaria is an especially interesting character here. Attempted mutiny, which failed. Pirate!Norrington for a second, then kind of privateer!Jack, or merchant!Jack. The one in which Norrington signs the ship's articles. Possible sequel to 'Light' by emungere) 24. Acting-Commodore Groves by Stowaway ('Whatever happened to those mutineers, anyway?' Groves being a badass acting-commodore, who will quite prbably someday escape just as Norrington has done. BAMF!Groves. Accepting!Groves. I am quite honestly in love with the Gull; sloops are gorgeous boats. Semi-sequel to the above) 25. Rum Punch by elessil, Hippediva ('Christmas in Port Royal with an unexpected surprise.' In which Jack breaks in to Norrington's house to 'cheer him up', bringing with him a Christmas tree and other decorations. They then go sailing during the night and, as expected, eventually fuck) 26. Loose Lips Sink Ships by Webcrowmancer ('Jack sighed. "Elizabeth," he began, cautiously. As she turned to face him, he continued, "Why, precisely, was it that you decided to knock me out, steal my ship, kidnap Norrington and throw us in here?"' Similar to Benedick and Beatrice in Shakespeare, this fic brings the two of them together using rumor and talk. Everybody ships Sparrington except the oblivious Sparrington themselves. Jack Sparrow causes chaos wherever he goes. Flirting at swordpoint. The Turners are assholes. Jack and Norrington are pissed, and I can completely understand them. https:///~peja/piratesofthecaribbean/LooseLipsSinkShips.htm) 27. Letter of Marque by Dee ('The unthinkable occurs to the Commodore, and Sparrow's involved. What a surprise.' Part one of the Caribbean Cartography trilogy. This is another tale of adventure, humour and love. Norrington's POV. Swann and Norrington are both despondent, plaintive, and asking what kind of sin they have committed as to warrant having to be nice to Jack Sparrow. Jack forges his own letter of marque. Norrington's running commentary is the best. Kind of like 'Misdirection'. Same kind of humour, too. Dry, witty, and sassy. Norrington is badass when it comes to sailing – he can feel the winds and the changes and the ship underneath his fingers when he is at the helm, just like Jack. It isn't enough to catch up with the Pearl, but still, kudos for trying. Norrington alternates between wanting to kill Jack, and finding him hilarious and getting along fabulously wth him. Anything involving Jack Sparrow is automatically beyond the realms of reality, which basically summarizes the entire fandom. Mustread! http:///uncharted/cc1marque.html) 28. the sequels to 'Letter of Marque' by Dee (They tricked me into thinking it would be a humorous trilogy, and yes, the first part was hilarious. The second part became more of a romance story, of dealing with perceived betrayals, with a bit of dark humour mixed into the whole thing. The third part was far more serious than either of the other previous parts, and dealt with running away, sacrifice, choosing one's own future, and what one is willing to sacrifice for it. Jack forges an old letter of marque of his. Anamaria/Groves. Works perfectly. Subtle pairing Anamaria has a brother who is essentially a governor's gay slave plaything, but he seems happy, so they left him there. 'Jack had "introduced" me to the crew as merely James, and no one had stepped forward to gainsay him. Would have I received such a welcome on any other free vessel in the Caribbean?' I realized that, while the first part was hilarious, the second bordered on seriousness, and the third was quite serious, mixed with dry humour, but was mostly about finding your own place in the world, and what you are willing to sacrifice to stay there. Norrington fell in love with the Pearl too. DON'T READ THE LAST SCENE. JACK BASICALLY SAYS JAMES WILL REGRET NOT GOING BACK TO ENGLAND, AND IT IS HORRIBLE AND HEARTBREAKING AND IT'S LIKE THE LAST TWENTY SECONDS OF MERLIN ALL OVER AGAIN. JUST DON'T. I honestly cannot emphasize this enough: don't read the last scene, the one that begins with 'The place hadn't changed'. Norrington got over Elizabeth. 'I squinted up at Elizabeth, haloed by the sun and as pretty as any other girl.' Norrington faked his own death in part three. 'And as for Commodore Norrington... he would fall without disgrace, and remain in the Caribbean. The only place in the world he wanted to be.' Norrington is badass at taking a single look at a port and being able to recite its defences exactly. Norrington is brilliant at reading the wind. And using the smell of the wind to tell who is coming. BAMF!Norrington, BAMF!Jack Sparrow. Funny, then sad. Bittersweet. At this point, I cannot imagine Norrington with anyone but Jack, but maybe that's what the ending is about – we don't always get what we expect, want, or deserve. Yes, this is cliché, but the ending maybe represents that life isn't fair, neither to Jack who has to let Norrington go, or to Norrington, who has to let go of Jack, the Caribbean, all his friends and his life, and for what? To live a life he doesn't want to? http:///uncharted/fics.html) 29. Moonverse by Firesignwriter (https:///horizon/library/multi/moonverse/index.html. 'Caught between a rock and a bajillion pirates, Norrington is forced to rely on Jack Sparrow's aid... and then his hospitality.' It is possibly one of the best pieces of fanfiction I've ever encountered. It shows the development of a relationship, if one might call it that. It isn't love at first sight, it isn't "everything perfect forever", and that's what it makes so good fiction in my opinion. The description of feelings sometimes is so real that it is scary. Jack isn't cheerful here, but maybe that is in part what makes it so unique – he is way more serious than people tend to think. There is a ship whose speed equals that of the Pearl, though the Pearl is still way more badass. I like this. This not-quite-dark!Jack, morally ambiguous!Jack, is very refreshing to read. Also, easy language, which was not something I thought I'd consider rare in a PotC fanfic back when I started reading them. High level flirting, and Norrington being surprisingly okay with a homosexual relationship. Jack makes a deal with another pirate: the Pearl and the Dauntless leave peacefully, if Jack leaves the Atlantic. Jack knows his Plato and Greek philosophy. Sutbly veiled smut. Honestly though, the first half is just banter. What I love about this fic is that Jack will not budge on being a pirate, and Norrington won't resign from the Navy. Mustread) 30. Another Angle on the Problem by Aris Merquoni (ArisTGD) ('Jack's had a new companion show up on his search for the Fountain of Youth, and he's not quite sure what to make of the situation.' Post-canon. Angel!Norrington. Yes, I am serious. Except Norrington was banished from heaven to earth because he needs to make things right with Jack, or some other mish-mash. Also, Barbossa makes a cameo. They find a fountain, but it is not THE Fountain of Youth, so Barbossa leaves, and then Jack finds a stalactite with a single clear drop of water on its tip, which turns out to be the Fountain of Youth Calypso then helps Norrington get back to life, on the condition that Jack does no harm while on the ocean. Calypso makes Jack and Norrington immortal. Immortal!Jack, immortal!Norrington. Pirate!Norrington. They somehow manage to still be pirates without harming anyone. That's IMPRESSIVE. Well, they're not pirates per se, they are protecting the sea, but how they do it is their own choice. Sometimes they rob cruise ships to discourage cruising and polluting the seas, sometimes they shut down some oil platforms. And the Black Pearl is still around. Love this fic) 31. Shipwreck by Penknife ('In which James goes to Shipwreck Cove with Elizabeth rather than being killed.' Brilliant fic. Very much worth the read. Bisexual!Jack, suspected asexual!Norrington. Technically Jack/Norrington, but a mix between platonic and romantic, very codependent, not sexual. Mentions of Beckett. the Dutchman, and the Kraken. Pirate!Norrington, cameos by Barbossa) 32. Perhaps by oneiriad ('Some acts of piracy are too terrible to consider.' Sparrington, angst, STDs, smut) Jack/Will: 1. Dropping The Anvil by Dolimir ('“Will Turner?” one of the pirates in front of him asked in shock. “Not *the* Will Turner? Do ye or do ye not know a Jack Sparrow?”The captain had lowered his pistol. “Well, bullocks.”' Jack/Will) 2. A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words. by the_dala ('“Twice the pretty,” says Jack with a shrug, hiding the sudden idea he’s gotten at how this conversation might be steered in the opportune direction. “Can’t tell me you've never had a bit of a swoon at the thought of two men together, Lizzie darling.”' Jack/Will/Elizabeth, voyeurism) 3. The Wrong Ship by Scifiroots ('"Permission to come aboard?"' Immortal!Jack, immortal!Will; Will is the captain of the Flying Dutchman, and Jack decides to sail with them, though not as a crew member but as a friend/lover to Will. Jack/Will. Will opposes this, seeing as sailing underwater will kill Jack, but thanks to the Fountain of Youth, Jack is essentially immortal. Sweet and light oneshot. Cameo by Bootstrap Bill) 4. Claiming Booty by Creed Cascade (creedcascade), Echosrevenge ('Jack and Will met up again under interesting circumstances and find their way to each other.' In which Jack introduces Will to his new crew as his old lover, and Will behaves like a scared virgin. It's honest to God a threesome: Pearl/Jack/Will. Lovely plot, but really bad smut. No, really, it sucks, trust me. Novices. I get the feeling this is partially about a guy who is betrayed by his fiancée and becomes gradually more insane with his new lover, until he can talk to ships like Jack. The one in which Jack introduces Will to Jack's crew as his former lover and will acted like a 'scared virgin'. Insane!Jack) Crack: 1. Firecracker by the_dala ('Will entertains a pair of visitors on the night before his wedding.' Will/Elizabeth, Jack. Personally, I say asexual!Jack) 2. Two Pirates live Near Bag Ends by Mayori ('“Do you two want to be my baby’s godparents?” And while Will stumbled over his words because he and Jack are not officially a couple yet, and how could this lady just ask them, complete strangers, to be her unborn child’s godparents? Still in the background, Jack exclaimed: “Excellent!”' Badass!Bilbo, Jack/Will, Bagginshield, crossover with the Hobbit. Hilarious) 3. A Most Awkward Conversation by actressen ('Some of the many characters played by Johnny Depp over the years meet at an unexplained dinner party. Featuring Jack Sparrow, Sweeney Todd, Victor van Dort, Edward Scissorhands, Willy Wonka, and the Mad Hatter.' Gen; total insanity and utter crack. This brings up an excellent point: why does Depp only play crazy roles? Not that that's bad, those roles are the ones he excels at, but HOW DOES HE DO THAT) 4. The Father, the Daughter and the Holy Ghost by KKGlinka ('A younger Weatherby Swann is visited by an impossible pirate fleet in the midst of dinner.' This fic is a mess: parts of this fic are completely logical and easy to understand, but the other parts are the biggest mindfuck I've ever read. Seriously, trying to figure out the plot and the time travel thing is like trying to dance ballet in hunting shoes. I have two theories: either pre-movies Elizabeth, governor Swann, and Beckett sit down to dinner and are interrupted by future Jack, Barbossa, Elizabeth, and crew, or pre-Dead Man's Chest Elizabeth, governor Swann, and Beckett sit down to dinner and are interrupted by future Jack, Barbossa, Elizabeth, and crew) 5.

Pirates for eternity by Yenneffer ('Barbossa is annoyed: both at Jack and possible situation the man has created. And maybe there’s something more to this than that?'

Shades of Time by ElnaK ('When Will can finally go and visit Elizabeth's grave, six years after her death, he is devastated. As Calypso watches her ferryman falling apart, she searches for a solution to his problem, but can only think of one thing: getting Chronos', god of time and destiny, help, for he is the distant ancestor of the Turners and the very reason they always have uncanny fates. Luckily, Chronos thought of the same thing, and together, they send Will back in time, for him to change the destiny of his past self, and, maybe, find happiness as an immortal demigod free of the duty of the captain of the Flying Dutchman.'

Technically Jack/Norrington, but for me, the main theme here is the afterlife and Jack's loss and gain of freedom. They are dead, except not really. Well, they ARE dead, but they still live.

Demon!Jack Sparrow, fallen angel!Barbossa, good man!Will. Gen. Cameo by Calypso. If Elizabeth Swann is hellbound, she will walk there under her own power, in comfortable boots, that spade of a chin thrust out as she demands to be shown to her throne) 9. Negotiation by mimesere ('Jack only negotiates with pirates. Preslash. Manipulating conversation, very intriguing, a lot is implied or left unsaid, Jack/Norrington. Jack implies Norrington is a pirate) 10. The Deadly Sea by flugantamuso ('The last of the bodies had finally been removed, each with a bullet in its head, dropped beneath the waves to rot where even the fish wouldn't touch them.

And then there was the Commodore.' Zombie!AU. Norrington's ship is infested with zombies, but he miraculously escapes to the Black Pearl.

Jack is immortal, and remembers when Norrington was unsure of being welcome among him, Groves, Gillette, Gibbs, Will, and Elizabeth, and now Norrington is the only one that's dead.

It is AU after CotBP, Jack was a wizard and an undercover auror.

Evil!God, cruel!God, God's A Parenting. Sick!Lucifer, nightmares, Lucifer's body re-creates what's in his nightmares, aka being cast out by God. Chloe is very gentle with Lucifer. Very well-written) 62. What the Devil needs by Bebec ('Lucifer can't help but see in his wings an umpteenth manipulation from his Almighty Father, another way to scorn his own desires... But, maybe it's just more complicated and more important than a desire.' Chloe almost shoots Lucifer because panic. Also goes into shock. Then sits down and talks to Lucifer, and talks him out of self-mutilation. The talk, Lucifer/Chloe, h/c, devil reveal, wingfic, season 3. Very well-written) 63. Monsters Amongst Men by BurningUpASunJustToSayHello ('Lucifer doesn't come into work so Chloe sends Dan to Lux to check up on him. The only problem is that Dan never reports back.' Incredibly well-written. Lucifer is afraid of being abandoned. 'He wasn’t just folding his wings, he was trying to hide them. No longer were they hugging his skin, but now they plastered themselves against it. Lucifer stood there in the awkward silence like a lost puppy. He stared at the ground, seemingly transfixed by the puddle on the floor. Something broke inside Chloe. He wholeheartedly expected them to just abandon him like everyone else had. His Father, his siblings; they had all shunned him.' Somewhat smutty. Reveal to Chloe and Dan. Dan discovers Lucifer's wings and a whole lot of blood in his apartment, and calls Chloe, and they both have the religious 'the devil is real' freakout, and Maze comes in and is very helpful. Religious!Dan, Dan speaks Spanish. Deckerstar, Chloe&Dan, Lucifer&San, Lucifer&Maze, the one where Dan forgets his phone and walks in on Lucifer and Chloe making out. Dark. Bloody. A bit violent. Brilliant) 64. Piercer Of Lies by ElenaCee ('Azrael shoots Lucifer with the Piercer of Lies. What remains is the naked truth, and Chloe finally must face the facts.' Lucifer is fucking terrified of Chloe's reaction to his face. He's entirely vulnerable. 'He was infuriating, unbridled, uninhibited, sometimes even violent, but also charming, honorable, truthful, and a genuinely good person. She suspected that she was more than just a little bit in love with him.' Telling the truth works better, for the general public, than lying. It's fucking awesome. 'The sight of Satan surrounded by grateful children, an expression of mild panic on his face, was icing on the cake.' Mentions of sex. Chloe has a thing for touching Lucifer's devil face. Mustread) 65. And There Was Light by ariaadagio ('When Lucifer Morningstar is found half dead in the desert, Chloe Decker is determined to find out why. The problem is ... not even Lucifer knows the answer. As Chloe's world is flipped upside down by incontrovertible evidence of the divine, Lucifer grapples with feelings of violation and futility. God's meddling has started a chain reaction, but to what end?' Deckerstar. Devil reveal. Lucifer ends up broken after the desert. He's oddly submissive and scared. Then he's cold and wrathful. Very very interesting insight into Chloe, and interesting case. The victim looks like Trixie. Chloe slowly comes around to the idea of Lucifer being the Devil herself, gathering evidence. Realistic use of a gun. Lucifer has a beef with the 'I was changed against my will, without my consent' thing. Casefic with rapist. Chloe sees his wings and goes a bit nuts. Lucifer is her best friend. Lucifer is ridiculously powerful. 'Her best friend is the Devil. And, somehow, she's getting to be okay with that.' Lucifer refuses to work with Chloe anymore. Chloe doesn't make him vulnerable anymore when he has wings. Quite possibly the best reaction fic I've ever read because it's not just swept under a the rug. Chloe actually considers the consequences of Lucifer being powerful. Lucifer's winds cause him to hear all prayers to him. Chloe is pissed at God, and for good reason. '"Has anyone ever told you that your closet is obscene?" Seriously, it's bigger than her bedroom. He seems to own enough zillion dollar suits to, if they were liquidated, surpass the gross domestic product of a small country.' 'He sounds dumbfounded. Like he's not sure how he's existing in a world where this apology is required, and did he miss the exit ramp back to reality somewhere? Is he lost? Where is the Google Maps edition for dimension-hopping archangels?' Hilarious at times. Chloe helps Lucifer cut the wings off. Excruciating and brilliant descriptions of the act itself, as well as the aftermath. Michael stalked Chloe and tried to convince Lucifer to fall and be human and have free will. Lucifer falls, but not the 'become human' kind of fall, but the 'thrown out of Heaven' kind of fall. Good said to Lucifer: 'So be it, you contemptible ingrate. Don't expect this offer again. I wash my hands of you.' Lucifer gave up on God. The last chapter is smut, but easily skippable. Mustread!) 66. Blind Faith by FluffyGlitterPantsDragon ('Chloe and Lucifer are trapped underground.' One shot. Wingfic, trapped undergrounf, BAMF!Lucifer, devil reveal, Deckerstar, very well-written) 67. You're Just You and I'm Just Me by Psychicninja90 ('To celebrate New Year's the precinct family decides to spend some quality time together. Much to most of the group's chagrin, it's at Santa Monica Pier. Chloe is burdened by taxing thoughts, but then a chance encounter with a fortuneteller changes everything.' Devil reveal, Chloe and Amenadiel talk to a seer/psychic, mild angst, tarot card reading, h/c, fortunetelling, fortuneteller, fluff, very well-written) 68. Scars by SilverWolf7 ('After finding out Charlotte is Lucifer's mother, Dan decides to have a chat with him about scars and feelings. He gets told more than he thought he would.' Devil reveal) 69. Off I Go by TheWhiteWolf2486 ('After a slip-up during a case showed Chloe that her partner is really the Devil he's been claiming to be the whole time, she starts pushing him away. While Chloe attempts to come to terms with her newfound knowledge that Heaven and Hell truly do exist, Lucifer makes a hasty decision that only brings about more harm than good. (A The Deckerstar Network Secret Santa Gift Exchange Fic)' I skimmed through this one, but it seems good. The ending has Lucifer and Chloe's wedding, and Gabriel and Raphael watching, and Gabriel saying that Lucifer will age and die with Chloe, and that thirty-two years into the future, they will die in a car accident and both go to heaven, Deckerstar) 70. I'll Do Better by ruxian ('Lucifer Morningstar is a man of his word. When he made a promise to Chloe that he would tell her everything, he meant it. Even if he's not sure what that means anymore. (Or the one where Lucifer wakes up in the middle of the desert with two feathered monstrosities attached to his back, even though he totally didn't ask.)' Wingfic, devil reveal, Deckerstar, post 2x18) 71. Free the Devil from Pain by Navaros ('"Looks like those sick bastards sewed the prosthetics onto his back." Sick indeed. Chloe wanted to vomit at that thought, the bile already rising in her throat. "Give me a few more minutes, I'll free the wings too. I can't cut them loose in this position." And with that the young forensic expert was back at work.' Chloe, Dan, and Ella think that the wings are prosthetics, and then discover that they're not. Wingfic, devil reveal, very good fic although the punctuation and overuse of caps is annoying. 'Lucifer is kidnapped. When the LAPD finally find him he is barely concious and pinned to the wall of a forgotten warehouse like a butterfly, blood pooling beneath his feat. They think the wings spread behind him are part of the kidnappers twisted sense of humour. They are not.' Very good) 72. A Promise After the Rain by Bailey Belle ('Ficlit for bisexualcooper on Tumblr, who got me thinking with the comment, "i can't decide if i want god to be invited to the wedding or not but either way he's gonna be there imo"'. Chloe and Lucifer's wedding is crashed by God, short oneshot, funny, cute, somewhat h/c) 73. Scars by SilverWolf7 ('After finding out Charlotte is Lucifer's mother, Dan decides to have a chat with him about scars and feelings. He gets told more than he thought he would.' Lucifer reveals his past to Dan, and while Dan doesn't exactly believe Lucifer verbatim, he still comforts him. Lucifer&Dan) 74. Satan Claus by sanctuary_for_all ('A misspelled letter causes Lucifer to accidentally stumble his way into some Christmas spirit. Being Lucifer, he drags everyone else along with him. (Or, as Trixie put it, "It's like 'Nightmare Before Christmas' with less kidnapping.")' Chloe and Trixie already know about Lucifer. Lucifer/Chloe, Lucifer&Trixie, Trixie&Maze, Linda is there for the damage control, cuteness, Christmas fluff, humour) 75. 60 Seconds of Silence by Sanoiro ('In the era of camera surveillance, Chloe Decker finds how *team* effort worked to save her in 2x13. This was not what she had in mind when she was told that Lucifer had gotten a hold of the formula through unconventional means.' Not full reveal, but definitely reveal of that time Lucifer literally died for Chloe) 76. I Can't Make That Promise by Autumn Rayne ('During a case gone wrong, Chloe asks the seemingly impossible of Lucifer. "One reason to let you stick around. I have so many to let you go, Lucifer." Lucifer saves Chloe from hypothermia and possibly death by cuddling her with his wings. Devil reveal, wingfic. 'If Lucifer, the devil, could resign himself to try for her, then she owed him nothing less than the same.' Very well-written) 77. One Devil, Two Devils, Three Devils More by SlitheredFromEden ('Once back in LA, Chloe's mental health gets tested once again by two brothers, and a crap load of none sense. Oh yeah so it happens that there is another Devil in town.' Crossover with SPN. Deckerstar. BAMF!Lucifer (TV). Destiel. The grammar and writing isn't very good, but the plot is interesting) 78. When Paths Cross by Knowmefirst ('Lucifer Morningstar meet Sam Winchester.' Crossover with SPN. Sam/Lucifer (TV). Short oneshot) 79. For the Devil to Dance Again by Second_Lady_of_Shalott ('There's a reason why Heaven really wants Lucifer to go back to Hell. After all, you can't kickstart the Apocalypse if the Devil is out of his cage already. Meanwhile, there's disappearances happening all over LA and FBI is ready to take over Detective Decker's case. Unfortunately, she recognizes one of them from the Palmetto case.' BAMF!Chloe, Deckerstar, crossover with SPN) 80.

What happens when Lucifer is shoved through a rip in the world to fix the mess the Winchesters have stirred up? OR Lucifer gets his wings back and ends up putting up with a lot more shit than he's signed up for. All he really wants is some goddamn peace and quiet. Having Chloe Decker at his side once more would be nice, too.' BAMF!Lucifer, crossover with SPN, Deckerstar, Destiel, Lucifer&Jack) 81. ~ Supernatural / Lucifer ~ by liane1787 ('Lucifer from 'Lucifer' gets sucked into the SPN world and runs across the Winchesters. When his Cas was a fledgling, Lucifer had tons of fun teaching him to be naughty until Michael (boring) put his foot down. So even though he knows this isn't his Cas, it still causes him anguish to see how run down Cas is. He decides he's saving his little brother, and begins to take care of Cas, getting him back on his feet and amusing himself by flirting with Sam - not getting that the SPN Lucifer has tortured Sam until Cas tells him to knock it off - and sassily dressing Dean down for not taking better care of his angel. The Winchesters aren't sure if this Lucifer is worse than theirs.' I love this, because Lucifer is so caring but also such a fucking troll, Lucifer&Castiel, BAMF!Lucifer) 82. The Devil's Pieces by taltos53 ('Lucifer and Chloe are reunited, and finally have a much-needed conversation. As Chloe adjusts to her new reality, she works with her partner to uncover what really happened to him and what it means for each of them. It's set post season two finale.'

Chloe changes her emergency contact from Dan to Lucifer, Deckerstar) 84. Piano Lessons With the Devil by WinterSky101 ('…And the risks thereof. Or, Trixie has a sudden musical inclination, Lucifer has never before considered teaching as a career path, Chloe isn't quite sure why she's allowing this, and anyone who tells you Maze likes Trixie is lying.'

Barnum/Philip, belonging, finding home, mild smut) 3. Runaways in the Night by wolfzaa ('After all these years of being a nanny, Hannah had never been this worried about any child she had raised.

Little Sisters by ObservationalObsessive ('“Would you mind if I asked why you buy them so much candy?” Phillip’s instinct was to respond defensively; to tell her that he also bought them pastries and ice cream sometimes so it wasn’t just candy. But he realized that it wasn’t really a defense at all before he even started to say it. Instead, he only grew increasingly confused when he realized that he genuinely didn’t know why he did it.

Changing You(r Aesthetic) by ConvenientAlias ('“I really don’t see why you expect me to celebrate with you,” Raoul complained when Erik offered him a glass of wine. “This might be like a good night for you but actually for me it’s going pretty badly.

Hideaway by ConvenientAlias ('The Vicomte’s disappearance occurred only a week after the dropping of the chandelier. A week and he was gone. Erik wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt—maybe he left Paris because of ailing relatives far away, or because the doctor recommended it, or because it was his custom at this time of year—but circumstances being what they were, he had very few doubts from which Raoul could benefit. A week after the dropping of the chandelier…and of course the unpleasant conversation that followed…no, that could not be a coincidence. It was practically certain that Raoul was running away.'

He accidentally falls through a trapdoor in the stage set for La Carlotta and meets the Phantom. Both Raoul and the Phantom want to make the Opera grand once again, and that's a start of an odd partnership.' Smut, OOC, Erik/Raoul, but the idea is interesting. Food for thought.

I Hold With Those Who Favor Fire by ConvenientAlias ('“I’ll catch you up,” the Phantom said.

We were discussing our future together when you showed up. She had her doubts. I told her that if she would stay with me as my bride I would release you, and if she did not I would kill you as an intruder.” Raoul licked his lips. “What happened then?” The Phantom shrugged and smiled a crooked little smile. “Well, monsieur, I’ll let you guess.” Easy enough. Raoul fingered the chains. “You broke your promise to her to release me.” "Mm." Or, the one with a kidnapping and its aftermath.' Explicit Erik/Raoul smut.

Now, however, he smiles and shakes his head a bit, amused at how stupid he had been. Turning to look at Raoul, he couldn’t imagine having hated him. Raoul turns to face him when he feels his gaze, giving him a soft smile. It all started when he’d first seen the vicomte, really. The patron’s chestnut blond hair and foggy blue eyes drew his attention… and now— well, they’re what he calls home.'

Post-LND, Gustave and Raoul moved in to Erik's apartment, Erik/Raoul I guess, but Erik's kind of neutral about Raoul) 36. You came back... by anotherdiana (Soulmate AU with Erik/Raoul and the 'You came back! You're soaked to the skin' thing. Erik is sad and heartbroken and hopeful and I'm projecting) 37. In Tandem by inlaterdays ('Written for phantastichomos' first anniversary celebration. Theme is "firsts". Sheer fluff, which means it's a bit OOC, but I wanted to give the guys some happiness.' Christmas fluff, Erik/Raoul, ice skating, music lessons, mistletoe in Raoul's pocket) 38. First Date by anotherdiana (First dates, canon era, fluff, first dates, Erik is super awkward at social interactions and practices how to ask Raoul out in front of a mirror and Madame Giry walks in. Erik/Raoul) 39. My First, My Only by anotherdiana ('This is set during that creepy bit in the book where Erik decides that it's a super good idea to sneak into Raoul's bedroom and watch him sleep. Yeah. Also, remember how Raoul gets all entranced by Erik's voice? Yeah, that too. Not gonna lie, Erik is a bad, bad man.' Erik/Raoul, non-con kissing, kind of completely one-sided, Raoul is still rather smitten with Christine, creepy) 40.

He knows of only one man who can help him make it a success. But would Erik rather take up his challenge, or just kill him instead? Ah, decisions, decisions.' Funny, hilarious, somewhat cracky, Erik/Raoul, fix-it, post musical, very in-character, mustread) 45. Eyes of the Jackal by Zeech ('The kiss that saved Raoul and Christine never took place. Enraged, heart broken, driven to madness, Erik has thrown Christine aside and taken Raoul hostage. Slash, written in a series of vignettes and drabbles.' Very much dark!Erik/Raoul, dub con.

More of an Aminta by ConvenientAlias ('Christine and Raoul rehearse "Point of No Return" together, even though Raoul was never meant to be a Don Juan. But Erik is watching, and for the first time finds their chemistry together something other than infuriating. The way they complement each other is beautiful. Of course, being Erik, he decides to make that beauty his own. By putting Raoul into his opera.' Erik's POV is brilliant. Notes for IC characterization of Erik. Erik runs the opera house like a master. Madame Giry actually comes down to Erik's lair. Chapter names are hilarious. Erik speaks music and acting and opera all the time. Erik eventually kidnaps Raoul and makes him watch the opera with Erik from Box Five. Raoul doesn't react negatively to Erik's face. Piangi is a very likeable character who supports Raoul throughout the fic. Truly poetic at times. Great descriptions. 'The Phantom didn’t want to kill or kidnap Raoul or her, and he didn’t want to destroy the opera house, and he might be cranky at the managers but so was everyone else so that hardly mattered.' It's a happy ending, and though Erik loves Raoul and may or may not still love Christine, he desires Raoul only, but it's unclear whether it's sexual. The title only makes sense after you finish 80% of the fic, and you only really look at it once you're done. The title literally says 'Erik is in love with Raoul'. Describes plot of Don Juan Triumphant for the most part. Erik/Raoul/Christine. Best POTO fix it fic to date. If Lucifer Rosemaunt is the queen of Erik/Raoul, then ConvenientAlias is the queen of all things POTO, mustread!) 2.

All I Ask of You by angelus2hot ('Set after the movie, Christine realizes she can't live without her soul and she refuses to live without her heart.' One of the best POTO fics, and a wonderfully in-character execution of E/R/C. '“I want to be with the both of you. If that makes me selfish then fine I’ll admit I’m selfish. You are my heart.

Christine doesn't knock off Erik's mask, Raoul is heartbroken and kind of just Leaves, no evil!Raoul, Raoul is very well-written, Erik kind of manipulates himself into being the leading baritone/tenor. The managers are audacious and actually make Erik attend the rehearsals, and Erik makes use of the stage for Christine's singing lessons. Erik is weird and creepy but kind. Erik characterization comparison. Erik writes the Phantom of the Opera, and then the opera house performs it. He removes his mask during Stranger Than You Dreamt It.

Water Under The Bridge by Gabriel87 ('"Erik! You mean you have never skipped stones before?" He merely stared, and her blue eyes grew wide with surprise and amusement.

He stands in the rubble of hurricane-struck Christiansted, seventeen and scrappy, with that same impossible drive to write his way out.' Quick summaries of lives, very enjoyable but also so very angsty. Every time he tries to improve something, things get worse. Full of angst. Life 12 is kind of happy and fulfilling. Life 14 is also very good, but he's immortal in life 14 because he can't die of natural causes. 'In his hundredth life, he lives with a new philosophy. No longer is it if you stand for nothing, what do you fall for? It’s when you fall, who will catch you?' 'Alexander loses everything that mattered – his drive, his courage, his unbeatable ambition. He loses his friends, and the loves of his life. He loses Eliza – she has no interest in the quiet Revolutionary soldier with dull eyes and the desire to just die. He loses John around the hundred-and-fiftieth life, and never tries to rebuild their camaraderie.' Alexander's fall into depression is written so magnificently. Canon era. 'He’s learned so much more than he ever wanted to know. He’s become a Jefferson in one life, a Madison in another. He took Seabury’s shoes in one. He inserted himself into Hercules’ life, and John’s, and Lafayette’s. He knows the driving factor behind everyone he ever built a lasting relationship with. He has nothing left to learn, nothing left to gain, nothing left to absorb from the world. He lost everything that made him Alexander, and gained himself in the process.' It ends with Alexander actually dying for good. Happy ending, but with the moral that life is meaningless. Gen, time loop, emotional, concise. This fic fucked me up in the best way possible, and I absolutely loved it. I can't really articulate why this hit me so hard, but it really did. Mustread!) 2.

Written in group chats, hilarious, Hamilton/Laurens/Eliza/Maria, other pairings, Washington being a professor at their college and later running for President and winning and what. Hamilton/Laurens/Eliza/Maria, Jefferson/Hercules, Washington/Lafayette. Asexual!Madison. The eventual Hamilton&Jefferson friendship is the greatest, especially since you can actually see the small steps by which it happens. At the end of the series, it wasn't really about Hamilton anymore, because the fic had developed so far beyond that point and got a life of its own. Angelica ends up President and Jefferson Vice President. Word of warning, though, read the first piece aka the prequel, before you start on the actual texts because so much makes more sense then) 7. In the Greatest City in the World by Flora_Obsidian ('Alex had heard people describe the feeling of remembering one's memories as deja vu, which he supposed worked as an apt description, except for the fact that it was wrong. It was disorienting, sure, but deja vu was more like feeling like you were repeating things, like you'd already lived the situation you were currently in, not literally remembering the things you'd already lived. Now, though? This was totally deja vu.' Reincarnation AU, prequel to the fic under. Cute, Hamilton being Hamilton, 177(6)-inspired) 8.

College AU, 177(6)-inspired) 9. As Long As I'm Alive by eIiza ('Eliza can't stop herself from having dreams of a man with grey eyes from centuries ago. They're definitely not memories of a past life.

The one in which Alex regains his memories over the course of a year as dreams, and triggers Washington's memories, and they then trigger Laf's memories, and Laurens'. Jefferson somehow triggers his own memories, but honestly, Jefferson's such an asshole here that it's unbelievable) 25. we could be enough by QueenWithABeeThrone ('“Oh god, I am–I am so sorry–” “No, no, it’s fine, it’s fine,” says the guy, and wow his eyes are the prettiest eyes she has ever seen. “I wasn’t watching where I was going, I’m sorry.

Gen. Hamilton being all emotional about being on money and about Eliza. Also, there's apparently a 'watch over a founding father' programme.

And so, lost, confused, and with a sense of self-preservation as feeble as it was yesterday, when he was dead, of course he doesn’t say “no.” This is the story of how Alexander Hamilton became an Avenger, feat. everything that happened after.' I love how the author weaves the flashbacks with the storytelling and executes a smooth transition between the two. Hamilton's POV is a work of genius.

At the beginning, this is a bit mindfucking because this is either some kind of ghost!fic, but most probably reincarnation AU as the cast. They play the roles they don't understand. They seem to forever be stuck on the stage as actors, exchanging roles, never free to go anywhere. Hamilton/Laurens, Hamilton/Eliza, implied Eliza/Angelica. Platonic bonding all around, except perhaps George III. Everybody hurts and everybody learns and everybody heals, and the BURR FEELINGS ARE JUST NO. Also, happy ending because after their final performance, they are set free. Musical.

The Twenty-First Century by infraredphaeton ('The one where Alexander Hamilton is accidentally resurrected in the twenty first century. Obviously the best person to help him adjust to waking up in the future is someone who's already woken up in the future.' We all know Hamilton would be more than a bit flamboyant.

The Monticello Furlough by Michelle_A_Emerlind ('Washington demands Hamilton take a vacation, so what else would Hamilton do with his free time but drive to Monticello and bug the shit out of Jefferson? Sounds logical to him.' Hamilton/Jefferson. This fic is the ultimate casual yet profound romance story. Despite its slanginess and informal language, the story makes the reader feel exactly the same emotion that Hamilton is feeling, and you empathize with Jefferson's heartbreak. There are a lot of references and neat connections to earlier in the fic, and the end ties up so beautifully to the entire plot. Sappy and full of romance. You can ignore the fandom and just read it as a regular novel. The characters are realistic and adorable, and the emotions are genuine. Modern Revolution AU. A mustread!) 2. Absence by showtiime ('Hamilton doesn't show up for class. Thomas is a bit annoyed that the only person capable of debating him is gone, but he knows there's always tomorrow. Until Hamilton misses the next day. And then the next.' Hamilton/Jefferson, past Hamilton/Laurens. College AU. Fluff and angst, watching terrible movies.

In The Autumn Rain by Kookookarli ('Aaron was grouped together with none other than Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Now, being put in a group with his crush would be a point of celebration in most other situations, but with Alexander Hamilton it was not a good thing. He was opinionated, and argumentative, and would willingly fight anyone any number of times to get what he wanted. Thomas Jefferson was similar, except all of his opinions were opposite of Alexander’s. And, to top it off, Jefferson also had a crush on Hamilton that he vehemently denied any time anyone tried to point it out.' Modern AU, college AU. Washington is Hamilton's foster-dad. Hamilton/Burr, Hamilton/Jefferson. Okay, so this is complicated. Both Jefferson and Burr crush on Hamilton, and Hamilton seems to be crushing on both of them as well, so he takes his chance with Burr and kisses him but Burr being Burr, he decides to 'wait for it', and by the time he actually gets around to talking to Alex about how he'd like a repeat of that kiss, Alex tells him that he has a date with Jefferson.

Morning After by WriteNotFight ('Waking up next to someone you love is a thousand times more meaningful than whatever you did with them the night before. Morning holds the greatest potential for intimacy.' This is romantic, sweet, and adorable. this is going to sound paradoxical, but this is erotic in a non-sexual way. Truly intimate and incredibly well-written. It has been a long time since I have read a piece of romance that hasn't been full of clichés. the ending ties beautifully to the beginning but now there's a different attitude: when in the beginning it was sweet and hopeful, at the end, it's bittersweet and forcing one down to reality. An incredibly poetic fic, one of the scarce few that does Hamilton/Jefferson true justice. Two sleepy nerds. Modern AU, fluff, politics. It's around 700 words but the flawless writing style makes it seem much longer. Mustread!) 6. The Unanimous Declaration by Kookookarli ('"It was a common assumption that Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler were soulmates, for what other reason would she have to marry down. However, seeing the words on Hamilton’s wrist as his sleeve fell back when he reached for his drink proved that assumption to be incorrect."'

Going from political rivals to allies causes a cascade of effects that bring Thomas and Alexander closer together than they ever imagined.' Canon divergence, no Eliza, Hamilton/Jefferson, cute but also arguing and canon and historical facts. Enemies to friends to lovers.

This is what they are. This is what Jefferson wants so this is what Hamilton will settle for.' Hamilton/Jefferson.

Locked in Love by Michelle_A_Emerlind ('Lafayette is tired of Hamilton and Jefferson acting like children, so he locks them up in a room together until they solve their differences.' I love how Hamilton is just so Hamilton here, still going on about finances and politics and not letting romance stop his financial bill. Also, Modern Revolution AU, which basically means that the Revolution happened in an age of mobile phones and stuff. Hamilton and Jefferson are still Secs, and Washington is still President. Humour, Hamilton/Jefferson, Washington/Laurens, Lafayette/Hercules, past Hamilton/Laurens. What a love confession, wow) 27.

Tell my political nemesis, who hates me, that I’ve got some kind of middle-school crush on him? I’d have to pack up and leave town.”' The actual summary really doesn't do this fic justice. Hamilton/Jefferson, Lafayette/Laurens/Hercules. Modern AU but still with politics. Fluff and angst. So much pining. ALEXANDER IS SO PRECIOUS AND NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED. Also, alcoholism and alcoholic!Hamilton. Jefferson, on the other hand, fears unfamiliar crowds and speaking in front of strangers. I love this portrayal of Hamilton: yes, he still works non-stop and writes like he's running out of time, but he sometimes focuses on the wrong things and ends up behind on his work, and his coping methods aren't always the best (actually, that part is plain history because Alexander Hamilton). Not-quite-meant-to-but-still-attempted suicide. Like accidentally attempted suicide. Honestly, Hamilton.

The Swivel Chair Pamphlet by neglectedrainbow ('“What the actual fuck?” Jefferson spins around, slightly startled, and glances at Hamilton momentarily. “What is the problem, my dear Secretary?” Jefferson purrs, leaning back in his chair with a smug look across his features. Or: Thomas Jefferson is credited with the invention of the swivel chair. He wrote the Declaration of Independence while sitting in a swivel chair. He did legal work in a swivel chair. He probably argued with Alexander Hamilton in a swivel chair. And the world needed a story about it.' Apparently the Reynolds Pamphlet but it was published while Washington was in office and Hamilton didn't get as much shit for it, and he's still Secretary of Treasury. Hamilton is a drama queen.

'He’s also seen him with his guard down, caught glimpses of a man with tired eyes, slumped shoulders, a shy nature about him that sits at odds with every story Alexander’s ever told about him from his college days. He wonders if Alexander has seen Jefferson like that, the gentle smiles he bestows upon Gilbert and Madison and Angelica, the anxiety that seems to overtake him sometimes, the way he fumbles his words occasionally and then looks crushed, like he’s berating himself for not practicing his speech enough.' Hamilton and Jefferson are both so precious. About 50% of this fic is smut though) 39. What Are You Doing? by Bennie133 ('Alexander Hamilton hated Thomas Jefferson, really.'

Pre-slash Hamilton/Jefferson, canon era, major character death except not really because Hamilton shows up, and he's not a ghost, either.

Hamilton or Jefferson would leap across the table and start making out with the other, or 3. The table itself would just catch fire from the sheer heat of the staring.' Crack. Hamilton/Jefferson, probably canon era but refreshingly lacking in homophobic slurs. Instead, most of the fic is Madison being a sneaky bastard blackmailing Hamilton and Jefferson because he is 200% DONE with them. Drinking, mildly mutual dub-con – well, the Jamilton is consensual but they are drunk and regret everything. Canon era, Room Where It Happens AU) 45. Overachiever by lafsbaguette ('As Thomas laid his head on Alexander’s shoulder, he glanced over the essay that Alexander was feverishly typing.

There appears to be a few blankets underneath, and a plastic box. Thomas tells himself over and over again that it's not Alex’s. That he doesn't live here, he can't like here because he's Hamilton the smart mouthed, quick witted prodigy who laughed in the face of fear. But all fears are confirmed when Hamilton drops his bag underneath the shabby awning and sits heavily on the filthy blankets, before muttering: “Home sweet home.” With a sardonic laugh.'

Out of the corner of his eye, Thomas can see Alexander looking worriedly at him and he minutely shake his head to let his friend know that everything is okay. His frown lessens, but his eyebrows are still furrowed as he turns back to listen to Franklin drone on about parts of the brain and how they contribute to psychological studies. “Everyone knows you guys are dating, y’know.

Alexander Hamilton: Human Scandal by firstbreaths ('Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton has a crush on the hot guy filmed saving turtles from a flood. Said hot guy turns out to be John Laurens, Director of the National Parks Service, and he's coming in for a meeting. Scandal ensues.' Hilarious. Hamilton/Laurens, modern AU, politics, really awesome. Alex and Eliza are roommates. Sassy!Angelica, BAMF!Hamilton, because he finished his PhD in economics six months early while working full-time as a UN lawyer as well as running Washington's campaign. Peggy's Hamilton's assistant, and Angelica is the White House Press Secretary. Hamilton has no verbal filter – actually, no filter whatsoever. 'A converted internship with then senior Virginian Congressman George Washington, early graduation from Georgetown law, including a viral valedictorian speech on Youtube in which he’d articulated his grand vision of America in the forthcoming Asian century, and his quick ascendancy through the ranks of the United Nations legal team before becoming the country’s youngest Treasury Secretary all seem quite impressive when viewed from beyond the haze of coffee fumes that typically surround Alexander.' Hamilton is like a five-year-old. Alexander Hamilton, rumoured illegitimate love child of the Democratic President. Hamilton is personally responsible for like 90% of the political scandals. 'Although, no matter how hot this guy is, Alexander doubts he wrote this plan on the back of several napkins at a Chinese restaurant after a particularly average date, which is how Alexander himself devised the closing arguments for his first case as a United Nations’ trade lawyer.' Jefferson is, dare I say supportive, of Lams. First, Hamilton had two scandals, and the ongoing suspicions about him and Jefferson and Madison, then there was the Lafayette scandal, then first Laurens scandal, then the second Laurens scandal, and then it was implied that he caused a Lafayette/Jefferson scandal. 'No one else in their country has the economic mind of Alexander Hamilton, and his online antics were probably a factor in getting the youth vote at this election, given Hamilton’s presence on social media.' 'Also, Alexander’s Wikipedia page is the length of a short novel, and meticulously edited, most likely by Alexander himself.'

Hilarious. The whole Reynolds thing is just taken very chill. Lafayette's been sending Lareuns pictures of baguette-shaped sex toys. 'You called Jefferson a 'gaudy faux velvet-clad hypocrite whose head is made up of 75% hair and 25% farmland, disguised only by the fact that his brain-to-mouth filter consists entirely of a thesaurus'. which, by the way, is pretty hypocritical of YOU, considering that you don't have a brain-to-mouth filter at all.' Hamilton's legacy is calling Jefferson and Madison horsefuckers. Hamilton in one sentence: ' someone would accuse you of petty theft and youd immediately write a 60000 word blog post explaining why you couldnt have committed the theft because you were busy murdering someone'. Actual 12 and a half year old Alexander Hamilton. Hilarious. Mustread!) 3. Gotta Be in Monticello by TongueTiedandSqueamish ('Alexander visits Monticello for the first time and proceeds to poke fun at Jefferson's style at every possible turn, as is expected.' Platonic Hamilton&Jefferson, hilarious, blindingly yellow paint. They're both assholes to each other and that's why they're great. Alex is a bit jealous of Jefferson's bedroom/office in Monticello.

And, for the record, you too fought in the war; your ability to command is under as much scrutiny as my own if this is ever found out. So it will never be found out, agreed?” Light-hearted. Dad!Hamilton, dad!Burr, Hamilton&Burr, Hamilton&Washington. Hamilton's children are scarily smart. Humour. Canon era. Aka, take your children to work day, except it's the Osgood House, and the only reason they're coming along is because they annoyed their latest nanny enough for her to quit. Hamilton and Burr team up to find their lost children, which is kind of hilarious and kind of sweet, while also snarking at each other. They then find the children with Washington, who seems to enjoy their company and is beating Philip at checkers. Hamilton and Burr decide to partake in the calm atmosphere and play a game of chess. George Washington Knows Everything. (Obviously.) Hamilton could take over the world with his minions... erm, his children. Everything is totally John Adams' fault. Gen) 5. In The Public Eye by SaintOlga ('Alexander Hamilton. The newly appointed Secretary of the Treasury is known for speaking his mind in media, but he is a joy not just to listen to but also to look at. The youngest Treasury Secretary in the history of the office, he accompanied President Washington as a member of his staff since his service in the army. Brains, beauty and bravery - this man is the whole package! His husband is a looker, too.' 'The former Secretary of Treasure, bestselling author and Pulitzer winner Alexander Hamilton. (...) Burr is ready to force him to run for presidency just to get his family in line.' Hamilton then actually runs for President - and wins, against Jefferson. President Hamilton, America's first poly president. Burr is suspiciously emotionally involved in The Family. There's an entire blog dedicated just to Alex's sweater. Polyamory. Hamilton/Laurens that grows into Hamilton/Laurens/Eliza, Hamilton/Washington. Philip is still shot but survives. Burr is really great in this entire series, supportive and understanding and accepting, even though he and Alex fall out at some point over Burr helping the Republicans. Very much worth the read. There's really only two words that really sum up this universe: fuck heteronormativity.

From there, it’s really a downwards spiral.' A modern retelling, with all the pain of the actual canon. It cuts at Alexander and Eliza's reunion after Philip's death. Hamilton/Eliza, Hamilton/Laurens, Hamilton/Maria, Philip/Theodosia. The Reynolds blog post resulted in much less political fallout than the original Pamphlet, but just as much betrayal and emotions and pain. Modern AU. Hamilton is on Twitter, Eacker is creepy and judgemental and so fucking wrong – in canon, at least, he seemed not to have done too much wrong, but here, he's just a plain asshole and a murderer.

Hamilton on Twitter, watch out! A bit random but also refreshing and relaxing. Alex is still Alex though, just as passionate and impulsive and everything. Basically the retelling of Act I but with only metaphorical bloodshed. Hamilton/Eliza, humour, modern AU, politics, Hamilton&Washington) 16. The Icarus Division by theother51 ('"I swear to God, we ought to be called the Icarus Division of the White House, always flying too close to one disaster or another." "In fairness, we've got 'Wing' right in the name."' Hamilton/Washington, modern AU, politics but Alex is Gwash's personal aide. I love this fic more than I ever thought I would after the first few paragraphs, or even the first chapter. Eliza and John are great, but they're nothing compared to Gwash because Washington is the epitome of awesome in every sense of the word. The context to the summary is that Hamilton and Washington's love is very inconvenient. Gay!Jefferson, gay!Madison, Jefferson/Madison. 'My arm hurts' is code for 'I love you' between AHam and Gwash, and 'talking about the First Lady' is code for gossiping. The ending is the last day of Washington's administration, and this fic has built up not only feelings between characters, but also towards the building itself and God will I miss it. This story, for all the beautiful romance and the surprising lack of smut, isn't actually about romance, but rather, family and friendships, and unity. It's so incredibly well-written, and it could easily become a book. Mustread!) 17. smile more by drunkonwriting ('Hamilton and Burr accidentally get married in Vegas.' The problem comes when Jefferson bullies/convinces Burr to find dirt on Hamilton, and Burr actually goes along with it to further his political career, though he's a bit reluctant. It's even more heartbreaking than canon. Fake marriage, Hamilton/Burr. Light humour, some homophobia, mostly Aaron-phobia. Hamilton finds new dirt on Jefferson every time he annoys Hamilton. It's fun. 'At thirty-four, he is the youngest secretary their nation has ever seen—and he looks it, sometimes.' He became Treasury Secretary at 30. Also, Hamilton started a minor politics war when he came out as bisexual. Burr thinks of the accidental marriage in terms of political advantages. 'Hamilton frowns, pacing in little circles even as he straightens his cuffs and buttons his shirt. That's Hamilton down to a tee—doing five things at once, and all of them at top efficiency.' 'Burr, always reticent to openly speak his mind to journalists, has been less effusive over Hamilton, but he did admit in 2014 that Hamilton "is one of the most promising leaders in this century—if he can learn when to keep his mouth shut."' Hamilton's antics with his phone are fucking hilarious. Hamilton is still non-stop and working all the time and living off of work and coffee because sleep is for weaklings. 'Hamilton is the oddest conglomeration of technological and old-fashioned that Aaron's ever seen.' Hamilton writes a press release of 14 pages, and Burr makes him trim it down to 2. Hamilton sulks. 'Washington holds up a hand. He's the only person Aaron knows who can do that and actually make Hamilton shut up.' 'Besides Martha, Hamilton is the only one who can really cold read Washington, even if he is vehemently opposed to a closer relationship with the man for reasons Aaron can't even begin to understand. It doesn't stop everyone from knowing that Hamilton is Washington's favorite, of course, or that he may as well be Washington's son in everything but blood—even if Hamilton himself would prefer otherwise.' '"Thomas won't be happy," he says. "Honestly," Hamilton says, "that's the best wedding present he could give me."' Jefferson's panic temper tantrum when he finds out is the best thing about this fic, and that says quite a lot, seeing as this fic is amazing and HILARIOUS. Modern AU, politics) 18. every minute and every hour by finalizer ('Ten minutes and half a jar of Nutella later, Hamilton is leaning forward over the table, more hyped up on sugar than any grown man has the right to be this early in the morning.

This is the most adorable thing ever. Seriously, it is. The 'enemies at work, lovers in private' thing really works here, and so does the light-hearted banter.

I support our troops is not a political opinion by Sarah1281 ('He and Hamilton are definitely not friends.

And no, he doesn't need any advice on how to run his campaign. But if Hamilton actually does vote for Jefferson then there will be words.' Hamilton can't run because he wasn't born in the US, and has a rant about that. Gen, modern AU, in-character, funny, politics.

Extra Creamy by luminousbeings ('Obviously it wasn’t bad enough that Aaron is stuck making bizarrely complicated coffee for irritable undergrads at 6:30 AM instead of working with his mom at the White House. No, now he gets to watch as Alexander repeatedly screws his own chances at so-called “true love” by staring starstruck and tongue-tied at John all day like a creep and then not responding when John actually starts up a conversation. A less disciplined man than Aaron would have been sent screaming out of the café from sheer frustration by now.' Aaron's the president's son (his mother), and the secret service guy Walter is super sassy, and Aaron works at a morning coffee shop that Alexander frequents. Then John joins them in the morning. Aaron's internal dialogue is Super Sassy. Alexander is awkward, awkward mating rituals. the Alexander, while deeply intelligent, is also a counterproductive moron. Honestly Alexander is acting more suspicious and out of place than Aaron’s actual Secret Service agent (Walter spends all his time with his headphones in catching up on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, as far as Aaron can tell.). Asexual!Burr, Hamilton/Laurens, modern AU, president's son AU, hilarious, sassy Mrs Burr, mustread) Hamilton/Burr: 1. A More Perfect Union by holograms ('Hamilton survives the duel. He gets more time, and Burr does too.' Canon era, Hamilton/Burr. Laurens, Washington, Philip, and Alex' mother convince Hamilton not to give up and go back and live. The musical quotes here feel natural. The newspapers love to gossip about the duel. Van Ness, Burr's second, is snarky and wonderful. Actor appearance. I'm sold on well-written Hamilton/Burr. 'Alexander recalls when Jefferson once belittled him when he was suffering from yellow fever. Ironic, coming from the man who complains when the sun is too bright and cancels meetings because of headaches.' Jefferson is concerned for Hamilton. The Hamilton&Jefferson interactions are THE BEST, so sassy and snarky and insulting. Jefferson is still an ambitious jerk though. Burr's passivity is frustrating. This writing is gorgeous and nuanced and so incredibly beautiful. Another thing is the falling in love subplot, which is just amazingly done. Subtle yet noticeably there. Hamilton is just so psychologically strong. Angst and h/c. Hamilton and Burr are oblivious idiots. I'd like to mention that this author actually does their historical research and PROVIDES REFERENCES TO WHAT THEY WRITE, AND TO SPECIFIC LETTERS AND THIS IS GREAT. Eliza and Burr bond over Hamilton and later stuff that aren't Hamilton. Burr is slowly falling in love with Hamilton and it's so pure. On word I would use to describe this fic is peaceful. Anxiety. 'Alexander isn’t afraid of Burr, he never was. Maybe he should be. Maybe Burr should be afraid of him, too. What they could do to each other.' Mustread!) 2. intelligent eyes in a hunger-pang frame by apricots ('Alexander Hamilton is an early-admissions student at Aaron Burr's university. Aaron Burr is trying to mind his own business. Then the revolution happens.' Magnificent and incredibly well-written yet modern slow burn Hamilton/Burr, implied Hamilton/Laurens. It's like the Revolution never happened in the 1770s, so it's happening in the modern AU. 'He's passionate about the revolution, he's passionate about everything.' Pining!Burr. 'Eight to ten pages, says the assignment, double-spaced, including the bibliography. Hamilton turns in twenty-five pages, single-spaced, a shit-eating grin on his ink-smudged face.' Modern war, but not nuclear. Television though, yes. Think a bit more modern than WWII and you'll have it. Thinly veiled angst and tragedy because this is war. John Adams is executed. Racism. Propaganda. Astoundingly brilliant fic. Angelica also joins the Army. Angelica is basically the less-writing female version of Hamilton, but just as intelligent and intense. Technological blackout. Burr kind of sort of reels Hamilton in. Using cast looks instead of historical. Mustread) 3.

One Page at a Time by tempermentalAquarius (Ninjarocker) ('Aaron is an editor. Alexander is a writer. How. Could that. Go badly.' Editor!Burr, writer!Hamilton, publicist!Angelica. Hamilton/Burr, Hamilton&Angelica, modern AU. Hamilton got the reasonable and diplomatic Madison who never said an ill word to anyone, to curse, cry, hide, shout, and have a breakdown. It's really good, and everything works, even though it kind of shouldn’t. There’s no ending, hell, there’s not even a period- it just trails off like the author had been interrupted. And yes, I am quoting the fanfic, but that's because I feel exactly like Aaron. Hamilton's inner dialogue is just like you'd picture it: non-stop. His backstory is just tragic because it's mostly the system's fault, but his writing is gorgeous and genuine. He always has this pressure at the back of his head that pushes him to write, and the words are pressing against his skull. Hamilton's characterization is the best I have ever read. Mustread!) 5. and i'm the damn fool that shot him by johnllauren ('I killed him. The words are a constant, never-ending mantra in the back of his mind, no matter what he’s doing. I killed him.

If it were up to him, he probably would be okay if people didn't know he breathed, in case that might disturb anyone.

Aaron Burr is so angsty, and Alexander so yearned to be able to return Burr's bond. 'Even his own soulmate didn’t want him to be president.' Jefferson and Madison are platonic soulmates. Hamilton/Laurens as soulmates) 17. you can't tempt me if I don't see the day by holograms ('Aaron has had 'Alexander Hamilton' written on both of his wrists for as long as he can remember.

Modern AU, Hamilton/Burr. Drunk!Hamilton is THE BEST. Much more interesting than the summary makes it seem. Truly a good read. Jefferson is such a troll, and it's awkward and hilarious. Aaron has a little crush. Jefferson helped plan Theo's baby shower. Theodosia died in a car crash with a drunk driver, and Aaron's super sensitive about not driving under the influence (and has a fear of driving in general). Angst. Also lots of humour. Hilarious. Anytime Burr's in a car, I fear another drunk driver because that's what authors do, cruel irony. Perfect descriptions of kisses. Jefferson is a kind troll, and genuine tries to help in his own way. I love this portrayal of Jefferson. Spontaneous tasting of wedding cakes. Sweet. Aaron's still very much not over Theodosia, and grieving. Jefferson is weirdly involved in the Hamburr. Burr&Angelica, Burr&Jefferson weird but intimate friendship. Jealous!Laurens. Trans!Peggy. At first, A&A rush into the relationship, living together etc, and then Alexander messes up and they have a long period of "I love him but he doesn't seem to love me/he's leaving" until Jon Bellamy, Aaron's ex, knocks some sense into the both of them. Aaron ends up proposing to Alexander where he fell in love with him: at Thomas' house during his Christmas party. Very romantic, very sweet. The Jefferson/Madison is also beyond adorable and heartbreaking, and is the perfect not-quite-background pairing. In the epilogue, Alexander and Aaron adopt a kid named Theo, and she is cute. Aaron gets over his fear of driving cars just to be able to stop Alexander from leaving for two months. The entire fic is, to be honest, a masterpiece. WHY IS HAMBURR ALWAYS SO PERFECT. Angelica and Thomas are Aaron's best friends and can I just say how much I love Thomas' portrayal in this? Perfectly in-character with the musical, and yet so very lovable, and a little tweaked, and just as humorous and profound. Triple dates of Hamburr, Jeffmads, and Mangelica.

He was Thomas' best friend, and Thomas loved him to no end, perhaps more than he should've. The second relationship was the love hate rivalry he had with Hamilton, and he thrived on the high it gave him. Hamilton was like fire in his veins, burning embers igniting his every nerve down to Thomas' core. He was smug and annoying and Thomas drank him in every chance he got.

Really OOC that Alex doesn't take his work seriously, but then again, grief can be crippling. I did expect his coping method to be something along the lines of throwing himself frantically into work and trying to ignore dealing with grief, though. Eliza being better than Alex in finances is hilarious. Alexander works in JOURNALISM, of all things. John's a bit of an ass.

Being “fundamentally different men,” what one person didn’t think of, the other would. (There has to be some reason they were co-counsel as lawyers). And given this change, Act 2 would have probably been considerably less depressing. Much of the political mud-slinging could have been avoided. Ham might have gone upstate with his family and avoided the entire Reynolds debacle. (So Phillip wouldn't have died prematurely.) Already having a prestigious government position, Burr wouldn't have changed parties for Schuyler’s Senate seat, perhaps preventing (or at least postponing) the complete breakdown of his and Ham's relationship. Smooth sailing. Gen) 45. Betting by Jay_Wells ('Gouverneur Morris makes a bet with Alexander Hamilton that he could greet Washington like any other friend, but quickly regrets it.'

Luckily, he has friends who are willing to help him . . . very, very good friends . . . and one particularly long-suffering commander-in-chief.' First, Laurens tries to teach Hamilton, then Lafayette, and finally Washington. Unsurprisingly, Washington succeeds. Gen, but mentions of future Hamilton/Eliza. Bromance, humour) 47. Loathing by Terrific_Lunacy ('Jefferson starts his work as secretary of state. He expects Washington to introduce him to respectable members of the cabinet - and gets Hamilton instead. By God, Washington couldn't be serious with this man.' Hamilton is Hamilton. Hamilton is a smol ball of energy that doesn't sleep because sleep is for plebeians.

The third shot has a matriarchal society instead of our patriarchal. Fem!Hamilton, fem!Burr.

Solo is crushing hard. 'Illya had brought a tiny transmitter with him in his coat pocket, which he’d promised to use to contact Napoleon if he was in trouble.

Wonderful family bonding. Mallory's awkwardness is the best thing ever. Bond and Q are each other's next-of-kin. 'They dropped in on the double-ohs first and Tanner deposited James at 009's desk.

Across the Stars (you'll still be a git) by kolachess ('In honor of the new Star Wars VII: Force Awakens, a collection of 00Q drabble sequence in the Star Wars AU you never asked for.

Pausing to mull over the new information, Q took a full ten seconds before proceeding warily with a sinking feeling in his stomach, “Yvna… exactly which Jedi am I supposed to be expecting?” In which Q is a Senator, Bond is a Jedi, but they are not Anakin and Padme. Repeat: they are not Anakin and Padme. After all, Padme never wanted to kill Anakin on sight and scatter his limbs to the far corners of the Galactic Republic.' Jedi!Bond, Senator!Q, Jedi!Alec, Bond is a Jedi Master, Star Wars AU, very funny, Bond is more than a bit competitive with Skywalker) 22. In a Hole in the Ground by LivetoDream333 ('Quinton Emrys and James Arthur Bond work for MI6 and it works out well... Except for when Merlin gets trapped and the only way out is magic...but MI6 is watching the exit. Arthur takes a moment to laugh at his favorite warlock.' Merlin!Q, Arthur!Bond, Merlin crossover) 23. My thoughts, My heart, My soul by VarjoRuusu ('Or: A year in the life of Q and Bond. An AU in which soulmates share a telepathic connection.

Includes: banter, fake marriage, espionage, car chases, life-or-death situations, and Moneypenny taking far too much delight in the whole affair.' Q is shot and confesses to Bond that he loves him while the entire MI6 is listening, and Bond rejects him because he loves Q and doesn't want to put Q in harm's way.

Strontium Chloride Red and Other Colours by BootsnBlossoms ('Just what does one bring a double-oh for Christmas dinner at his flat, do you think? — GH / Something that explodes in his favorite colour. — MH / Lube, condoms, and scotch.

Keeping tabs by Beginte ('In which Mallory is exaspertaed, and Q is tasked with designing a new brand of sub-dermal trackers for the 00 agents, so he decides to go big or go home.

Nervous flyer (and his assassin-esque boyfriend) by Beginte ('A random flight attendant watches Bond and Q as they wait to board the plane.' Q is afraid of flying. Bond loves him very much and has great patience while Q panics a little bit; outsider POV, the flight attendant quite aptly thinks Bond looks like an assassin. Q is loopy on tranquilisers) 32. Little Arsehole by faggghaggg ('Mallory's attempt to put a stop to a certain inappropriate work relationship does not go as planned.' In which Q takes everything as literally as possible, and the result is a frustrated M) 33. Sleep Deprivation Is No Excuse by Elenothar ('Q doesn't sleep much. Bond makes himself a nuisance in Q-Branch because he's bored. Somehow they get a relationship out of it.' Q's inner monologue is wonderfully hilarious. Insomniac!Q, touch-starved!Bond) 34. Mea Culpa by seektheinfinite ('“Can I at least put some clothes on first, or is this a clothes off kind of mission?” This time the smile was almost genuine as Bond indicated his almost naked form. Eve considered him for a moment, trying to hide the smile from her own face at seeing a hint of the old 007 appearing through the cracks. “Well, unless you and Q have something going on that I don’t know about I would say definitely clothes on.” After the events of Skyfall Bond arrives back at MI6 to find that Q has locked himself in Q branch and won't come out. Q's minions are littering the corridor, Q needs to find the answer and Bond needs to take drastic action.'

Crossover Marvel/James Bond) 39. Dramatic Arts by scioscribe ('In which Spectre is actually Bond's poorly written attempt at falsifying a mission report. Q wants a flight simulator, Eve wants more lines, and M wants a drink. Everybody's a critic.' Hilarious. I'm choking and spitting while reading this. Dr Swann is Bond's therapist. Bond writes. Bond with a pen. Author!Bond/Q, 00Q, mustread) 40. So If You Give by TheCatOnTheMoon ('Bond gives Q things because of reasons. Q thinks that Bond completely misses the point.' Hilarious. Crack, then angst. Fluff, h/c, funny, humour. Q was reminded that he was a professional and he just had to deal with the situation, preferably without e-mailing M things like “Dear Wicked Witch of the West, I don’t need your flying monkey. Sincerely, Q.” Q doesn't allow himself to grieve when everyone else thinks that Bond is dead, and then kind of breaks down when Bond makes it into his apartment. 51 Things. Bond tortures Q via tacky things. Q is everyone's darling. except Medical's. Medical hates him. This kind of got out of hand. Look at all the tea obsession, very well-written) MI6 headcanons: 1. Employee Relations, Friendly Workplace and Team Building: A Guide to Successful Relationships in the MI6 by Rosslyn ('Because even MI6 isn’t exempt from British administrative features and its assorted exercises. “Ah, bollocks. It says that all departmental heads have to attend or their annual budget won’t get approved. Can they do that?" R finally sets down the iron and pats Q on the shoulder. “If they can make the Double Os take lessons in health and safety,” she says ominously, “They can do whatever the fuck they want."' Remember that NCIS seminar on harrassment? Like that, except ten times better. Also, figuring out weird ways of getting out of a seminar is officially a team building exercise. Also, Q wants to have half of MI6 eradicated. Utterly hilarious. If there is one humorous fic you read from this list, let it be this one. Headcanon for MI6's team dynamics) 2. James Bond: Q's Favourite by IBegToDreamAndDiffer ('How the double-ohs found out that James Bond is Q's favourite.' One of my fav 00Q's, very funny and features Q taking down arrogant assholes) 3. Memos from Q-Branch by AviaCarter ('Memos from around MI6, many of which are not actually confined to Q-Branch. Includes the minions, Eve's Shoes, Q's secret liqour stash and everyone wanting Bond and Q to just bloody shag already because the tension is making everyone tetchy.' Hilarious 00Q, minions planning world domination, cameos from Mycroft Holmes and Tony Stark, and plain chaos; headcanon for Bondlock so freaking much. Is also a crossover with Iron Man. MI6 & SHIELD inter-agency ends in millions of pounds of damage. Also space elves. 'Nuff said) 4. Tanner, that's a no-no word. by TheGoodDoctor ('When James Bond and Q get turned into children, Tanner is the only one who can look after them. He's not sure why, either. Can he play hide and seek? Can he make bacon ice cream? Can he refrain from swearing? Featuring; double-ohs, cookery, explosions, shopping and guns. Your average Bond.' Kid!Bond, kid!Q, extremely funny and adorable. Wonderful family bonding. Mallory's awkwardness is the best thing ever. Bond and Q are each other's next-of-kin. 'They dropped in on the double-ohs first and Tanner deposited James at 009's desk. He and Q watched with barely-concealed delight as the agent who had concealed state secrets from friend and foe alike, even under torture, was undone and stolen from by a very determined seven-year-old.' Simply fabulous) 5. The Private Sector by beaubete ('Bond takes Q for a fitting at a little shop in Saville Row.' Slight crossover with Kingsman. Gen, Merlin&Q) Brilliant: 1. Entire by lovelyophelia ('It’s a job to you, all of this, isn’t it? You’ve become bloody good at it, over the years – taking control, satisfying, teasing. But it’s all meaningless.

M can lecture all she wants, but in the end, it will be 006 and 007 who help Q get used to this...' Vampire!Bond, vampire!Q) 6. Hold Tight by orphan_account ('As tempting as it would be to walk off with Madeleine Swann into the sunset and never look back, Bond isn't ready to retire quite so early. Not with all the reasons he has to stay. A fix-it, of sorts, for the somewhat unsatisfying ending of Spectre.') 7. When the Sky Falls by ginnyvos, Only_1_Truth ('In which there is a plane crash, a deserted island, accidental minions, a lot of miscommunication, sleepwalking (sort of), a very creepy Silva and more.' The one with the airplane crash) 8. I thought you had left by DecemberAngel25 ('Bond can't live without being an agent, and Q didn't think he could live without his agent.' Alternate ending to SPECTRE; headcanon for post-SPECTRE) 9. Slow Dancing In A Burning Room by feelslikefire ('What followed was the most bizarre courtship Q had ever—well, heard of, certainly. He didn’t have much to compare it to, but Moneypenny confirmed that normal people didn’t flirt like this. Not that he was normal. Not that any of them were. Or: Q has a past, a cat, and a dangerous new boyfriend. Two of these things keep him up nights, the other pees in a box.' The one with Q being in an international criminal gang, and three decoy flats, and Bond being pissed at Q for him keeping secrets, and Q having the coolest flat ever, and a kidnapping of Q, and Q having an ex-girlfriend and ex-boyfriend, and Bond being just shady as fuck but very, very intelligent and cunning, and Moneypenny being M's Right Hand, and the PM coming to a party) 10. The One Who Made Him Stay by JayEz ('Twenty-one days after the Double-oh programme is reinstated, James Bond returns to MI6 with his Aston Martin and without Dr Swann. This is only the beginning of Q's problems.' The one where Bond moves in next-door with Q) 11. That Which We Are by mikkey_bones ('Q seems to explain gender theory, the Kinsey scale, and things like that on a daily basis. The dictionary by which he defines his identity isn't an open book.' Asexual!Q, transgender!Q) 12. We are only numbers & letters by timtom (reverse!verse, Quartermaster!Bond, Agent!Q. Literally 00Q, and 7) 13. Second Rate by SailorChibi ('When the door opens again, three more people spill into the room. For her benefit, James identifies them as Moneypenny, Tanner and Q. Her attention is arrested by him, this quartermaster, this boy. She watches the way Q watches James and, for the first time, actually goes past understanding and gets it. Then Bond laughs at something M says and cockily adds, "He can do it. Our Q has a lot of talent." And his eyes kind of get a little more of that sparkle, and it takes everything she has not to start crying on the spot. Every fragmented thought of what life might have been like from now on goes up in smoke.' Post-SPECTRE, 00Q, Bond is oblivious and Madeleine literally needs to tell him he's in love. Very, very adorable and oh so fantastic; not quite headcanon but very close) 14. The Taste of Strawberries by kijakazibibi ('What Q gives up to save Bond's life while on a mission reveals more about both of them than either know what to do with.' Angel!Q, angel!Moneypenny, human!Bond) 15. ...Would Smell As Sweet by im_not_a_lizard ('I think we all know Q department would totally be mixing up some aphrodisiacs for the 00's to use (or maybe even just for science). I want Q accidentally dosed and Bond being all gentlemanly and trying to help him through it without doing anything that Q may regret later. Meanwhile, Q is very much in favour of climbing Bond like a tree and having him every way he can.' Sex pollen fic, very nicely done) 16. Nothing Like You by Renata Lord (snowlight) ('Twenty years after National Gallery, Q greets a new 007.' Sweet, very nice ending, not the usual bittersweet one, but a harmonic ending) 17. About What? by Morrigan2345 ('Q knew he couldn’t hide it forever, not with spies and gossipy coworkers crowding together watching his every move.' Q has the ability to travel in time) 18. Rewind by Mistflyer1102 ('Q goes back to the moment James died, determined to save him. The aftermath doesn't go as neatly as he would have preferred.' It's a time travel fic, and frankly, it's all kinds of confusing, "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey" comes to mind, and it's more than a little bittersweet and angsty, but it's also so very cute at the end that it's worth it. Or, the one where Q goes back six times to try to prevent Bond's death before it sticks) 19. take the fall by thisissirius ('“I was going to use Madeline,” Blofeld continues, as he paces the length of the glass. “You’ve done a good job of convincing me that you loved her, Bond, but even you’re not that good of a liar.” Blofeld has eyes in Austria, and he knows there's someone else he can use against Bond.' SPECTRE alternate ending, the one with Q being tied to the bomb and having a broken arm and talking Bond down from shooting Blofeld) 20. Spectrelations by Skyuni123 ('Bond is back.' SPECTRE alternate ending) 21. Pastels by TheVineSpeaketh ('"He'd been lucky to find Q in his search for a roommate." In which Bond is rooming with Civilian!Q, and things are great... or so he thought.' The one with Q being a civillian, and having robots, and super-cool security even though Bond does not notice. “I have reason to suspect that London exists entirely in its own dimension. It’s like a world of its own. You don’t arrive in London; it just kind of swallows you. One minute you’re touching down in a plane, and the next, you’re on the A5 going thirty miles an hour, you’re considering getting a cat, and you have an apartment that has the worst view.” In which Bond is rooming with Civilian!Q, and things are great... or so he thought.' 00Q preslash, tiny robots, BAMF!Q, part of a series, the last part has the slash and the SPECTRE plot, roommate AU) 22. It Might Be Magic by ProfessorFrankly ('Q has a secret. James needs to know it. Because together, they could save the world.' Wizard!Q, Q is Harry Potter) 23. James and Jack Don’t Like the Games They Play by LivetoDream333 ('Torchwood catches a spike of energy in MI6 and goes to investigate. James and Jack fight and flirt over each other and their own men.' Time Lord!Bond, Time Lord!Q, cameo by the Doctor and Jack Harkness) 24. When You're Not Here, I'm Suffocating by crescentmoonthemage ('Bond's in Q's house because for him, it feels like home.' The one where Q is actually honest, and Bond lives with Q, and Q has cats named after classical music compositors. Terrific fic) 25. The Perils of Dating a Werewolf by BootsnBlossoms, Kryptaria ('After the chaos of the Skyfall Incident died down, Q resigned himself to being stalked by admirers from every corner of MI6. There was even a damned spreadsheet where Q Branch techs laid bets on which of the agents would get to Q first. The only agent who wasn't in the running was the senior Double O, James Bond.' Werewolf!Bond, funny yet a bit weird. The one with Q having a brother called Z) 26. Red Queen to Overwatch by BootsnBlossoms, Kryptaria ('After returning from the dead, James Bond moves into a new secure flat, only to find that his new neighbour is either: a scruffy teenager, a brilliant computer geek, a mad scientist, or the sexiest genius he's ever met. Two of these things turn out to be true. Well, three, once the Red Queen gets involved.' The one with the almost-AI Q has installed into his flat, called the Red Queen, and Mycroft not actually being as manipulative as he usually is, and actually sanctioning Q and Bond's relationship – in his own little way, of course) 27. Requiem for the Deathless by nagapdragon ('It's MI6's best kept secret, the reason why the Double-0s never seem to die. An enchanted pot of ink that ties one person's life to another, keeping one safe so long as the other survives. One person to protect, the most trusted person in a Double-0's life, and they cannot die. James Bond doesn't know who his is, and he doesn't want to know.' Absoultely magnificent fic The only reason it is not in top twenty is because I did not read it thoroughly but rather skimmed it through, although I do aim to remedy that sometime in the future. Brilliant description of the other double-oh agents, mixed with the actual plot line. You should read it, if only for the descriptions and the planning of each and every individual double-oh agent. Q's real name is Geoffrey and his mother is M) 28. so you were never a saint. by paperclipbitch (“I think Bond’s trying to be your friend,” Eve tells him. “…well,” Q says slowly, “this is a new and disturbing development.”' Asexual!Q, panromantic!Q. The one with M being about as lousy a shot as Q is; The one with Q's flat being in-breakable, but not out-breakable. Don't know if it is supposed to be a platonic Q/Eve or Q/Bond, but it is good, especially Q's arduous shooting training) 29. Attack-Dogs Make Great Babysitters by Only_1_Truth ('In which Q is seven, Bond is very much out of his element, and the world is about to get a taste of what a child super-genius can do when he only trusts one person. Period. James Bond was used to dealing with two things, generally: guns, and people trying to shoot him with guns. Usually, the second was a problem, and could be solved with the first. Kids were neither as dependable as guns, nor was it socially acceptable to shoot them if they became threatening. And how funny was it that one of Britain's best agents was more terrified by having to deal with a seven-year-old enigma than he was of facing a score of enemy sharp-shooters?' AU, kid!Q, protective!Bond of sorts. Also, socially awkward Bond – again, of sorts. Gen) 30. Old Gods, New Tricks by BootsnBlossoms, Kryptaria ('As MI6's senior quartermaster, Q is accustomed to dealing with all manner of oddities. But an agent who won't stay dead, a bomb in his office, and bad tea all combine to make for a stressful day. The muggers on the way home only make matters worse. And that's before the owl shows up.' Owl!Bond, stag!Bond, deer!Bond, wolf!006, ancient god!Bond, ancient god!006. It's like, the concept of owl!Bond is cute, yes, but it is not brilliant. Yet, I found that the longer I read, the more this fic grew on me, and now I cannot help but put it on my brilliant list. At first, it was just a funny fic, but then Good Omens somehow got involved, and old gods, and suddenly, it became so much more serious. Also, lots of h/c, humour, bit of angst, and a very brief mention of Good Omens. Also, this explains perfectly why Bond and Alec always survive, and why they won't just do their own damn paperwork) 31. By No Ordinary Means of Communication by laughtershock ('Q can’t help but wonder how, exactly, his life has come to this. (The one where Bond discovers post-it notes, Q discovers how not to talk about feelings, and together, they fight crime make things far more complicated than necessary.)' Or, yet another fic where Bond is emotionally and socially stunted. Lovely fic, though. Funny yet serious. Lots of feelings via proxy of avoidance; personal headcanon) 32. Last of His Knights by marlowe_tops ('After finding missing and inconsistent files, Q finds himself tracking down the secrets and origin of the mysterious agent 007, which is complicated by the fact that he's falling in love.' Immortal!Bond, knight!Bond) 33. Curtains by Anonymous ('Indulgent domesticity. No real plot to speak of, just Bond and Q moving in together as friends after Q is targeted and his place burnt down, and slowly progressing to being a couple.' The one with the fire at Q's apartment, and Bond buying the two of them a house, and Q adopting his neighbour's dog called Bozo, and Q installing a security system that would make entire governments jealous, and Q being obliviously in love until he wasn't oblivious anymore, and Bond using suits as metaphors for his equally oblivious feelings, and Bond getting shot in Rio because he was thinking whether they should paint the kitchen yellow, and Tanner giving Q relationship advice, and Q and Bond being caught kissing on a CCTV at the airport, and wow, I think I just spoiled right about the entire fic. Too bad. It is a fantastic piece of work; one of my personal favourites regarding relationship development) 34. Drive You Home by enigma_kar ('In which Bond returns for Q, not just his car, and discovers that Q needs him more than ever. And maybe he needs Q too.' SPECTRE alternate ending. The gentle one, the one in which Bond comforts Q after Q remembers killing somebody) 35. Fallible Creatures by scioscribe ('Let the cynics and optimists debate love, he remembered Q saying once, apropos of—not Madeleine, it couldn’t have been Madeleine, that had come too late—some woman Bond had used as a lever against a fulcrum. Let them debate it: the pragmatists would use it, and just as often get fucked over by it. (Post-Spectre. Bond returns to London, but it's been seven years, and nothing he's left behind has stayed still in his absence.)' The one in which Bond comes back after seven years only to find out that Mallory is retiring and that Moneypenny is taking over as M, Q has had a husband whom he lost a year prior to the story due to an aneurysm, and Bond is too old to be a field agent) 36. "Znów go zepsułeś" by arhkym ('Krótka scenka po tym, jak Bond zepsuł kolejną rzecz ważną dla Q.' Krótkie drabble, trochę zabawne a trochę, nie wiem, słodkie?) 37. Necessary Measures by infinite_wonders ('or; how Q singlehandedly cows trained assassins into eating their vegetables and sleeping on time and is surprised when they inevitably discover parts of himself that he's been trying to keep on the dl: A Story.' An hilariously terrific fic about how Q became the mother hen of MI6, is able to take down assassins for his 00-agents, and protects M from stupid people) 38. Permafrost by epistolic ('007 is a cold-blooded killer, except when he isn’t.' Harbin, Russia, during winter. Bond seems to have a secret hideout or secret home in Harbin, and Q 'goes missing' to find him. Naturally, they are shot at, there is a lot of implied romance, no kissing, and Bond being Bond. Fantastic fic with very good descriptions) 39. sky's the limit by numenore ('Bond returns with yet another broken weapon. Q offers him tea. It's some sort of routine, by now.' Fluffy and cute gen without being all clingy or cliché) 40. shake all your earth to dust by badacts ('It was a trap, a trap that has consequently trapped them in a massive concrete and steel sandwich. “Why couldn’t you have just shot that bastard and had done with it, Bond?” she groans.' The one in which Blofeld escapes, Madeleine comes back dragging Bond with her; 00Q and Eve/Madeleine; Bond, Eve, and Q are trapped inside a collapsed building) 41. Spread your wings by vague_flirting ('James is fascinated by Q's tattoo.' Asexual!Q) 42. my heart is stitched together (but i still can love you) by littleghost ('there is magic running through his veins and he thinks of old witches who could change coal into diamond but his babcia always told him magic is not without cost. (what cost was riches from rags, cinderella and her fairy godmother?) {or: q has magic and bond would have died a long, long time ago if not for that.}' Beautifully weird. Read it – you won't understand half of what's going on, but the style and the rhythm of the fic are downright gorgeous. Magic!Q) 43. Tell Me by autumnsxxangel ('"The Bond he met as R was classically handsome. He was dark and brooding with Romanesque features and dark brown hair styled with a slight wave." "The Bond he met as Q was anything but."' Time Lord!Bond) 44. Late Night Wine Aisle Acquaintance by AKAuthor ('Will and Q meet while grocery shopping for their equally pretentious murder husbands/lovers. A dinner follows. Hannibal and James better stand their ground.' Crossover with Hannibal, brilliant fic, 00Q and Hannigram, funny; a personal headcanon for post-season 3 Hannibal, can be set in Bondlock) 45. Far away from home by Casstea ('If there was a time for James to appreciate the strict progression of cause and effect, now would be that time. (Or James gets sent to Camelot and finds someone who looks like Q but isn't Q)' Merlin!Q, or at least that's my interpretation. Time traveller!Bond, Doctor Who references all around, what with the vortex manipulator. Knight!Bond–ish. Time is messy) 46. the hand that feeds by wintervioleteye ('James Bond meets Hannibal Lecter for dinner.' Hannibal crossover) 47. but lets talk about you for a minute by CallicoKitten ('Things don't work out with Madeleine. This comes as a surprise to no one, including James, because honestly, "we met when her suicidal father set us up to find and kill an international criminal mastermind" isn't exactly the kind of story you want to tell your grandkids. (in which c's death really messes things up for everybody and bond will probably never get his happy ending, at least, not with madeleine).' The one where Bond leaves and M is arrested and Tanner, Q, and Eve are out of jobs, and Blofeld is only willing to talk to Bond, and everybody is angry with Bond, and Q is obviously pining, except Bond is oblivious. Q is jealous of Madeleine and treats Bond like air for a few months after Bond coming back. Also, MI6 has moved back into the underground London quarters. Oh, and Bond and Blofeld bond, in a creepy step-brother psychopath-assassin 'I want to kill your non-boyfriend' way. It's almost like having an older, psychologically unhinged brother, Bond thinks) 48. Aces Grey by Only_1_Truth ('MI6 employed a broad variety of people with an equally broad array of sexual proclivities - no surprise in a place that trained and equipped international spies. Despite this openminded work environment, however, assumptions were made: obviously 007 was a hypersexual womanizer and the mild-mannered Quartermaster was asexual. When the reality turns out to be that 007 is ace and Q is actually into submission, life is bound to get more interesting.' Asexual!Bond, sub!Q. The descriptions here are so good. This is a story that requires enormous delicacy to be effective and the author nailed it. Most BDSM stories do not have this level of obvious research and attention to detail. This is as much a seduction of Q as it is of Melissa, maybe more so. The author brought sensuality to the scene, made it fascinating without being exploitative. It was remarkably tender and definitely not what one would associate with a typical Bond seduction. I've also enjoyed watching Q in action as the head of Q branch. He has such command and it gives a great contrast to his need to indulge in submission. Totally a new headcanon of mine) 49. Clever Boy by CathrineMcCord ('"You are a bad liar", Bond says and Q can't help but laugh. It's hollow even to his own ears. "You'll find I'm an excellent one, if the need arises" –– When Bond has to decide his faith on Westminster Bridge he thinks that, with Oberhauser at his feet, he finally has a shot at a happy ending. But just as he turns to ride into the sunset with Madeline, Q collapses on the other side of the bridge. –– Post-Spectre fic, where I attempt to explain away all the plot holes that have been bothering me since Skyfall. Get ready for Qs back-story, intrigue and suspense, actually quite a bit of fluff and cats, total MI6 squad goals, Oberhauser being a little shit, a very parental Tanner and a mystery guest appearance.' In which Q, before he joined MI6, had a virtual friend for whom he wrote lots of codes, and then he found out that it was for criminal activities like starting wars and killing people. Tanner then arrested him and gave him a second chance at MI6 as R, and then when Blofeld was captured, Q realized that he was writing codes for SPECTRE and that his virtual friend was Silva. In most fics, you have at least the general idea of what happened, but here, you really don't know, and it's in equal parts exhilarating and frustrating to the point of tearing your hairs out; maybe half a headcanon if you don't take into account the Bondlock) 50. Evaluation Results Pending by Piratelocked ('“007,” Tanner says, as if that explains everything. Q lifts a questioning eyebrow. “M has promoted one of the agents?” He inquires politely. He hopes they aren’t as difficult and demanding as the rest of the double-ohs. Maybe this new 007 can be trained to be polite and respectful of the work that Q-branch does. Q almost smiles at that thought, but then Tanner speaks again.“No. He’s back.”' 00Q preslash, part of a Holmes!Q Bondlock unievrse. Q's real name is Tristan Holmes. Fic takes place during and after Skyfall. It's clear that Bond was the old M's favourite just as Q was the old Q's favourite) 51. Safeguard This Hallowed Heart by blackidyll ('In a world where breaking an angel's heart has dire consequences, James Bond decides to court MI6's primary and only celestial being in residence – namely, the Quartermaster. All of MI6, from the newest Q Branch recruit to M himself, takes exception to this.' Angel!Q, Bond is supportive and gentle yet firm and calculating. Everybody at MI6 thinks that they haven't gotten around to sleeping with each other yet, and then it turns out that they have been doing that pretty much since before the Faberné egg incident. And it turned out Q knew all about the memo from the beginning as well. “You’re fooling yourself if you don’t think I didn’t enjoy openly courting you,” James says. “You gave me a legitimate reason to rile up the entire agency after all.” He casts an appraising look at Q, his fingers tapping a rhythm against Q’s back. “Then again, you’ll cause a much bigger uproar if you ever reveal the fact that we’ve been together for months now.” “When,” Q says firmly, because they’d kept their relationship discreet in the beginning from necessity and then again during James’s courtship mostly out of amusement, but Q made up his mind long ago. He’ll only have one partner in his lifetime, and he wants everyone to know exactly who he’s chosen, and when) 52. Take It In But Don't Look Down by Mia_Zeklos ('Revelations and confessions are made and James Bond pours his soul out to a cat.' Takes place post-Spectre. Bond is gone for about a week and comes back to London only to find out that M has been told by Q that Bond was on vacation and there was no necessary paperwork. Bond then goes to Q's apartment and crashes on Q's couch with his cat, and makes himself tea in Q's favourite mug. Bond/Q preslash, light, adorable, fic for light evening relaxation, perfect) 53. The Issues of Dating a Holmes by Jen (ConsultingWriters) ('John and Sherlock go on a double date with Q and Bond. Which really, was one of the worst ideas anybody had ever come up with in recorded history.' My new headcanon, featuring ninja-ish master interrogator Bond, Mycroft being used as The Worst Threat Ever which everyone agrees with. Sherlock is not asexual, although Q says he is but he's really not; Bond is smooth and suave. Double date, hilarious) 54. Super (Trooper) Spies by Gyhl ('In the aftermath of V-Day, James Bond has been sent to go hand-off a packet to another spy. Angst and hilarity ensue.' Crossover with Kingsman and Mamma Mia. Sam is James Bond, Harry Bright is Harry Hart [this was meant to me]. Bond helps Galahad after V-Day) 55. Deep Night and the Monsters Within by DizzyDrea ('James Bond hides in the shadows, a creature of living nightmares, the legacy of violence from a bygone era. He's loyal to no one but himself, until one night he meets someone who makes him wonder if he can learn to trust again.' Vampire!Bond&M, female!M, very good) 56. The Mating Dance of Wolf and Fox by epithalamium, TheCatOnTheMoon ('In which Moneypenny despairs of her boys, no one in MI6 is the least bit sane, Bond complains to HR about MI6's workplace policies, Q insists that he is not a fainting maiden, and he might have to sleep with 007.Strictly for professional purposes, of course.' HR going A Bit overboard in the sexual harrassment seminars. 'Still, if those tales about condom bingo were true, let alone the horrors they’d done to apple bobbing, he felt he was quite justified in thinking they were going overboard. One of his members reported that role-playing harassment scenarios involved a complete musical score and full stage makeup.' BAMF!Q, sassy!Q, Q watching 006 on a mission seducing a target. Q watches every 00-agent have sex, except 007, because 'your special snowflake status is your own fault. You destroy the comms well before you start seducing anyone, taking the choice completely out of my hands and ensuring that I will never give you a camera for a mission. You would only feed it to the local wildlife'. 'Bond always had the most interesting missions. Even milk runs somehow involved gambling dens, sexy assassins, and villains who monologued endlessly.' Bond catches Q watching mission porn and blabs about it, and suddenly all the Double Os treat Q like an underage virgin who doesn't need to watch porn. Q made lightsabers for himself, Tanner, and Moneypenny, and a phaser for Bond. Mustread) 57. Sanctuary by SailorChibi ('Ever since Bond’s return from leaving with Swann, he seems to have set his sights on Q. Not even being flat out told about Q’s sexuality has served to deter him. Bond wants Q. But not for the reasons that Q or the rest of MI6 think.' Platonic!00Q. Q feels like he's adopted another cat that keeps bringing him presents. Bond doesn't know how to human. Asexual!Q, aromantic!Q, aromantic!Bond. Bond likes Q because Q doesn't expect or demand anything from him. Q is a sanctuary from his missions. Brilliant) 58. Can I Use Your Horrid Reputation? [17/52] by andrea_deer ('"Just because you don't find people attractive doesn't mean you can't enjoy the time spent together," James waggles his eyebrows as if Q had any doubt he meant more than platonic relations.' Asexual!Bond, asexual!Q, aromantic!Q, platonic!00Q, mustread) Good: 1. Fixing connections by Beginte ('In which Bond and Q haven't yet done the actual sleeping part of sleeping together, and Bond ventures to change that.') 2. Not Meant to be Broken by supahnova ('Basically, what if Q had been captured in the ski lift?' Okay fic so far, not brilliant) 3. 5 Things Q Will Never Admit, And 1 Thing He'll Never Deny by liberalmage ('In which Q and Bond are (mostly) just ridiculous men in love.' Okay fic, sweet but not a masterpiece) 4. Leading Edge by Batsutousai ('All fae-born were raised on stories of how cruel dragon-borns were, how they had no care for anyone outside themselves and their greed, that they would sell their own mother's soul to the devil before allowing themselves to be hurt. They were told that all dragon-borns were to be killed on sight, and taught spells that would do just that, if ever given the chance. It would be just Q's luck that one of his agents was dragon-born.' Dragonborn!Bond, faeborn!Q) 5. Falling Sideways, Downwards, Up by sentientcitizen ('Q, Moneypenny, and Bond flirt, fight, get confused, do science, make up their own rules, grieve, grow, drink a lot of alcohol, and have a happy ending. Not necessarily in that precise order.' Bond/Q/Moneypenny, asexual!Bond at the end, bit of patronization, bit of understanding) 6. How to Have an Office Romance: A Comprehensive Guide by laughtershock ('Q's mother sends him a horribly gaudy Christmas jumper, and it all seems to go downhill from there.' The one where Bond goes on unauthorized leave post-mission and Q attempts to drag Bond back to MI6, which results in a game of tag from Singapore all the way to Norway) 7. The Voice in My Head by TeyrianTimelord ('C kidnaps Q hoping to use him as bait for M and 007. Little do any of them know that Q is not nearly as helpless as everyone (including himself) assumes.' The one where Q is kidnapped by C to use him as bait for M and Bond, and C threatens to cut off Q's ears, and Q goes into shock as Bond and Moneypenny come and save him, and Bond comforts him. Mostly gen, a bit pre-slash, very good) 8. Took You Long Enough by Pastel_Teacups ('Or, an AU in which James takes Q with him, not Madeline.' SPECTRE alternate ending) 9. Rootkit by drinkbloodlikewine, whiskeyandspite ('Q is being flirted with by 007. And what’s worse, he’s not sure that he minds it.' SPECTRE alternate ending) 10. Bippity Boppity Boom by therunawaypen ('Everyone in MI6 thinks Q branch is incredibly high-tech. Really, it's more bippity-boppity-exploding pen. In fact, Q isn't really sure if half his minions could work a computer to save their lives, let alone national security.' Wizard!Q, magic!Q) 11. Relentless by Cielestine_de_Winter ('James's life with Madeleine is lovely. Until a text from M put things in perspective.' the one in which almost all of Q-Branch changes jobs after SPECTRE, Q has to work with mediocre people, one of which turns out to be a rapist insistent on kidnapping Q to a barn, but Q breaks out himself, and Bond knows what he wants) 12. Of A Certain Age by LaceLilies ('James Bond is quickly approaching the mandatory retirement age for Double O agents- it's no small feat, but he's unsure of what he'll do once he's forced to move on from his dangerous life of espionage.' A bored Bond is not a good Bond) 13. 31 by kitkatz221 ('It was well known around MI-6 that there was an "unofficial kill" tally sheet; obviously 007 at the very top followed closely (by 2 kills) by 006, Alec Trevelyan. What shocked new Jr. Agents was the number in Q’s ‘Direct’ column. 31.' Ummm... Weird but okay. The punctuation could use some tune-up, however. The one with Q single-handedly taking down all the new recruits in hand-to-hand combat) 14. Not Your Usual by aglassfullofhappiness (Cedes) ('Q keeps typing, even as blood seeps into his cardigan and his fingers shake against the keys.' Also known as the one where Q speaks Chinese) 15. Are You Here to Harass My Husband, Bond? by LivetoDream333 ('James finds out R is cheating on Q, only to find out he's completely wrong on multiple accounts.' “She’s my work wife. It’s a Q-Branch thing, we have work spouses. M came up with it so that he could make sure someone was bringing me food and making me sleep. It caught on with everyone. We have lovely little ceremonies every year.” Implied 006/R) 16. horizon line by scioscribe ('To correct perspective in art, one imagined a vanishing point: the exact spot on canvas or page where all the known lines disappeared. Q had no gift for drawing, but he understood perspective and disappearance.' Fuck. Even though I read like the last page of the fic, it still made me shiver and want to tear up, because BOND DEATH, NOOOOO. Deathfic; the only reason it isn't under 'brilliant' is because I never got around to reading the whole thing) 17. Tell Me the Truth by LivetoDream333 ('James' captor is a complete idiot and Q is a genius. Or, James is taken prisoner and given some form of truth serum. To avoid telling his captors anything secret he starts rambling about his feelings for a certain someone back at HQ.' Prisoner!Bond, truth serum) 18. Creating What We Can't Reverse by taormina ('Q’s soul broke into a million pieces when he killed that man, that stranger. Then Bond showed up and put him back together again.' From the original script. Love confessions) 19. if you don't know (me by now) by InvincibleMadhouses ('Imagine that scene at the end of Spectre when Bond picks up the car from Q, only...different.' SPECTRE alternate ending, the weirder one) 20. Try by pretzelduck ('To Q, turning down 007's repeated advances only makes sense. Until it doesn't.'

The Doctor & The Spy by JunoInferno (In which Bond is a Time Lord and the Doctor's son. Time Lord!Bond. Crossover with Doctor Who) 22. High by tentitoo ('After a mission almost gone wrong James Bond finds himself in Medical and is administrated with a cocktail of painkillers that leave him a little loopy. Extortion for personal information by his best friend and the most cheesy flirting with his Quartermaster ensues.' Okay fic, weird, some punctuation errors, mostly logically weird, hospital) 23. Fever Is Different from Gunshot Wounds by Sherlokicks ('Treating common flu is different than healing gunshot wounds. Who would have known?' The occasional word fuck-up, and the author is a bit of a novice as observed by the writing style, but overall nicely done. Sick!Q) 24. a little spy hospitality by confusedpups ('Bond shows up to Q's flat when he learns the young Quartermaster has caught the common cold.' Sick!Q, established relationship) 25. Love Sick by CMDAK ('James gets back from a mission and learns that Q is out with a cold. He happily decides to play nurse for the young man, much to Tanner's desperation and annoyance. But James is really horrible at making himself understood and Q is a genius when it comes to computers, not people.' The one in which Tanner is Q's uncle, and Q's name is Quirino) 26. The One Where Bond is Ill by dontkeepmehere ('James has the flu and Q wants to look after him properly. Even if Bond doesn't really appreciate the help.' Cute and fluffy, sick!Bond, promptfic) 27. The Stray by LivetoDream333 ('“You have no idea.” Q nodded against him before pressing a gentle kiss to James’ lips. “You know, you could have told me how you felt.” “And you could have told me about this…” “That would have been a great conversation starter. Hi, James! I’m a cat!” James couldn’t help but laugh with Q.' Q is a Holmes, but that's implied. Cat!Q, protective!Bond. In the sequel, Q chases laser points and Bond is 28. First meeting by Crowprincess, dunnj ('Bond and Q meet for the first time.' Wingfic, Bond has wings) 29. Nervous Flyer by SexyDeathEater ('“Is this seat taken?” a husky voice reaches his ears. He looks away from the window and into those icy blue eyes that he had seen for an entire semester before graduating. Q follows the man’s pointed finger to the empty seats next to him. “Yeah.” He shrugs and goes back to looking out the window while the man and the elderly woman from before take their seat.' Fluff, planes, Q has a complicated name, university AU) 30. Shaken by SennaLaureen ('Q and Bond are harrassed by a bunch of teens, nothing a double-0 can't handle.' Implied homophobia) 31. Flirt Until Stupid by totalizzyness ('The one where Bond isn't as smooth as he thinks he is.' Okay fic, featuring a Tanner cameo) 32. ...and you thought your neighbours were weird? by FelicityWinchesterInTheTARDIS ('5135'38.9"N 026'42.1"W –JB Hannibal chuckled and locked the mobile. Meat supplies for the next week were procured. Or, Hannibal and Will live together in Notting Hill in the house James Bond and Q happen to live in.' Crossover Hannibal/James Bond, 00Q, Hannigram, James Bond/Q, Hannibal/Will, Bond&Will, slightly insane Bond) 33. it gets even weirder by FelicityWinchesterInTheTARDIS ('Hannibal and Will are organising a New Year's Eve dinner party for their neighbours. Among them are James Bond and Q.' Sequel to the above. Crossover Hannibal/James Bond, 00Q, Hannigram, James Bond/Q, Hannibal/Will, Q is a vegetarian, cannibal!Will, cannibal!Hannibal) 34. The Science of Breakfast: or Who Needs a Smoke Alarm Anyway? by BootsnBlossoms, Kryptaria ('For a genius, there were certain things Q couldn't be trusted to do unsupervised, starting with anything at all, until he'd had his first cup of tea. Unfortunately, Q was very good at sneaking out of bed.' Everything is on fire, including a pan, a toaster CONNECTED TO A MAC WHICH WAS ALSO ON FIRE, and an oven. Smoke alarms are Q's worst enemy. Q shot someone in their apartment. Bond gets 006 (Alec) to their apartment after a botched mission. Very good) 35. Three Times Bond and Q Trolled Each Other and One Time They Trolled Side-by-Side by notbeloved07 ('On a spur of the moment, Q pulls a troll that gets him caught in a troll war with James Bond. When one of their friends gets slandered, though, Bond and Q have no trouble working together against a common enemy.' Bond/Q, 00Q, BAMF!Bond, BAMF!Q, trolling, pranks gone way too elaborate, the Moneypenny Defense Squad) Crossover: 1. 2, 4, 6, & 8 by orphan_account ('(Or: You Have How Many Siblings?) Thanksgiving is taken very seriously in the Barton Family (or, rather, between the Barton siblings). Typically James hosts, considering Skyfall manor is the only place large enough to fit them all. However, it was rather recently...blown up. Yeah. Will's apartment is far too small, and John, Aaron, Jason, and Brian have the same problem. William has recently shipped out to Afghanistan, and while none of the Barton clan would be opposed to a vacation in warmer climates, it's not the best backdrop for Thanksgiving dinner. Clint, on the other hand, has just moved into Stark Tower.') 2. Bondlock: Mycroft's Son by IBegToDreamAndDiffer ('Quillan Frederick Turner; Quartermaster for MI6, partner of James Bond, and long-lost son of Mycroft Holmes, the British Government. He's not sure what to do with that information. Includes 00Q, Mystrade and Johnlock.') 3. Love in Codes by aria_dc_al_fine ('Where Q and Mycroft try matchmaking each other and Sherlock observes in derision until he realises that James Bond and John have a history. Greg is amused. Bromance and BAMF-ness ensue.' The one with Q calling himself Jeremy, and Q, Sherlock, Greg, and John being abducted because someone wanted Q) 4. As Long As I've Got My Suit & (Bow)Tie by 221B_Baker_Abbey (Kingsman crossover, 007 is OOC but overall good fic) 5. what good would wings be by thimble ('"Q," Bond says, fighting a smile. Q lets his own spread on his face like a forest fire, wide enough for the both of them. "007." It's neither of their real names, but they shake on it. They've been playing pretend for a long time. [In which Bond and Q are an angel and a demon with An Arrangement, respectively.]' Good Omens crossover. Angel!Bond, demon!Q) 6. Discussing Romance over an Autopsy by therunawaypen ('Working in MI6 is murder on one's social life, let alone love life. But Q does have someone he can turn to when he just wants to vent about his lack of romance (and his overall pining for a certain womanizing agent). Q doesn't even mind that some of his best conversations about relationships with Molly occur over dead bodies.' Sherlock crossover. Molly Hooper is brilliant, and so is Q) 7. Why Mycroft Worries Constantly About His Youngest Brother or How Willoughby Holmes Wooed and Won the Heart of James Bond by LadyRa ('The youngest Holmes holds a minor position at MI6, but somehow still manages to do more damage than Mycroft at his worst.' Q is the world's foremost hacker, and has an obsession with 007, and helps him when Q-Branch at MI6 proves incompetent. Lovely Bond&Mycroft interaction. Mycroft does a Batman gambit and uses both Bond and Q to get influence at MI6. This fic made me truly realize and appreciate how utterly brilliant Mycroft really is. Brilliant fic. Stalker!Q, hacker!Q, Holmes!Q. Sherlock crossover; headcanon regarding Mycroft's way of thinking, but not anything else) 8. A Million Shards of Glass by Eiryna ('Max Denbigh's face looks very familiar to Q, and to his brothers Mycroft and Sherlock as well. 007 tags along for the ride and briefly reunites with an old friend. Q and 007 examine their working relationship. Set within the timeline of SPECTRE and post-Abominable Bride.' C/Max Denbigh is Moriarty. The one in which Bond and Q kiss at the end but Q decides that they are better off with a workplace relationship. Mycroft knew Moriarty was alive from Irene Adler's information but concealed that information because he wanted to be the one to bring Moriarty in and get the job as M. Crossover with Sherlock; headcanon for post-SPECTRE and post-season 3 of Sherlock) 9. Family Secret by Valeria2067 ('John accompanies Sherlock who has been asked to assist with top-secret case for MI6. He discovers that Sherlock has been hiding a bit of sensitive information about the number of siblings in the Holmes family.' Bondlock, preslash 00Q and Johnlock, implied past Bond/John) Top 1. Synchronicity by stereobone ('It goes on like that for months, and then Q realizes that James Bond is "hanging out" at his flat.' Amazing) 2. Loyal In Adversity by JayEz ('“Did you miss me?” When every screen across the country flickers, Q’s blood runs cold. Meanwhile, Sherlock Holmes returns to English soil not even twenty minutes after setting foot on a plane. The detective and his blogger team up with a young Quartermaster and a Double-oh in a game that will test loyalties and pressure points to their limit. Or: That Bondlock Season 4 AU in which, surprisingly, Q is not a Holmes but becomes tangled up in the brothers’ mess anyway.' Very much mindfuck. Ends with everybody important – Q and Mycroft – unintentionally being in Moriarty's pocket, his puppets, doing his bidding. The ending is terrifying, to say the least, and my reaction was IT CANNOT END LIKE THAT, IT SIMPLY CANNOT. Overall, simply fantastic, will well-developped plot and lots of plot twists) 3. Love and Other Hazardous Materials by luchia ('"This is just getting ridiculous," M says when he finds Q trying to put motorized circular saw blades into a briefcase. (Or, Q and James Bond love their jobs so very, very much.)' Q and Bond are workaholics and are married to their work. Also to each other, but that seems to be more of an automatic thing. They are very much in love while still staying very much in character. In short, best 00Q ever written; headcanon because duh) 4. All in a Day's Work by VelvetMouse ('After the events at Skyfall, things go from bad to worse for both MI6 and the world. Q has a solution. Bond has to decide if he's crazy enough to go through with it.' Time travel to 1973, gen, fantastic Bond&M family bond. Love it with all my heart, one of the best Bond fics because feelings) 5. An Infinite Number Of Faces by NixieD ('Bond is asexual but so used to hiding it that faking sexual attraction has become his norm. He'd promised M this wouldn't be a problem.' Asexual!Bond. This is not a happy fic, and it does not have a very happy ending. Bond is just as destructive at the end as he is at the beginning) 6. Less is More (Except When It Isn't) by infinite_wonders ('In which James Bond is emotionally stunted and actually sucks in social situations while not on a mission. Q is the one stuck putting up with it because everyone seems to think that it’s his job. Also, he and Bond are going steady apparently. But that’s neither here nor there.' Female M because she is badass. Basically Bond wants to date Q but doesn't want to talk about it, and Q is just slower on the uptake. James Bond is like a freakishly deadly puppy. Socially awkward Bond is the best thing ever. Very funny but I value the content of this fic more than the snark. 'Fifty or so years should be enough time to make his point, he figures, before moving his estimation upwards a little-- because he’s in love with an emotionally stunted moron and such things have to be accounted for, now.' Somewhat my headcanon, at least on Bond's awkwardness with people while not on mission) 7. Wheelhouse by recrudescence ('The one where Bond really, really isn't used to sleeping with people who don't tragically die soon afterward.') 8. So If You Give by TheCatOnTheMoon ('Bond gives Q things because of reasons. Q thinks that Bond completely misses the point.' Very sweet, some h/c. Bond is adorable in his stealthy ways of bringing gifts. Q gets himself kidnapped, shot, and is gifted with a PA (courtesy of fem!M). Very beautiful. “What do you want from me, Q?” “I told you,” Q said finally. “Don’t disappear on me again.”) 9. dawn by kiyala ('Bond honestly doesn't begin with the intention of courting Q.') 10. Elegy by Lafayette1777 ('In which Bond returns, but only in increments.' SPECTRE alternate ending. The one where Bond sends Q a brake pedal and continues to be ever-evasive. 'Bond reaches for his hand, intertwines their fingers with a sigh. This is not their usual dance; unfamiliarity washes over him, but he doesn’t choke. Q can’t help but think that Bond has not returned in one piece, but that maybe the piece that made it back is a starting point. The beginning of a dance for two.' One of my post-SPECTRE headcanons) 11. the sheer lack of professionalism by scioscribe ('Q rolled his eyes. “Oh, there are just bloody wheels within wheels to it, aren’t there, this kidnapping business? Really, you should give it up. You’re not cut out for it. Think about it, your first time out, and you pinch a national intelligence treasure and ask his MI6 boyfriend for ransom. It isn’t very promising, is it?”' Headcanon) 12. Fidelity by marlowe_tops ('In which Bond develops a preference for sleeping on Q's couch rather than in his own bed, and Q is rather more warm-hearted than M when it comes to throwing him out.' The one where Q is loyal to a fault, and is in love with Bond, and Bond loves Q just a bit less than the Queen and country, and Bond takes relationship clues from Q) 13. Quriosity by dr_girlfriend ('Bond finds himself increasingly curious about his enigmatic Quartermaster.' Q is afraid of touch. Q has a house without any windows, but with transparent ceiling) 14. The Agent by MueraRashaye ('The Doctor has an appointment to keep, and for once he's the one on time. What he had hoped would be a lighthearted story-swap became a bit more serious when he stepped out of the TARDIS to see a burnt wreck where his friend's home once was and the damage to his old friend's TARDIS. But at least he hadn't gotten a new regeneration while he was gone.' Time Lord!Bond, Time Lord!M, Doctor Who crossover, the one with the Doctor being called Theta and Bond being called Beta or The Agent; personal headcanon with Time Lord!Bond although not Time Lady!M) 15. it doesn't take you away from yourself by scioscribe ('Q thinks he can't imagine anything worse than three days at a conference with James Bond as his bodyguard. Bond thinks that's showing a lack of imagination. He may be right. Or, the one where Q has a long-standing arrangement, Bond condescends to croissants and tablecloths, unresolved issues abound, and then actual serious stuff happens. Post-Spectre.' The one with Q being on a conference and meeting a friend-with-benefits who turns out to work for SPECTRE. Very complicated thought process of the author, yet that is precisely what makes it so very enjoyable. Think a step down from Hannibal fics difficulty; hilarious fic, dry wit, sarcastic humour) 16. One foot in front of the other foot by zetsubou69 ('It starts on Friday in the MI6 cafeteria, where Bond casually inquires about everyone's plans for the evening, as he's looking for someone to have a drinks with. And that’s how usually very professional Q got himself a date.' Can be read as either asexual!Bond or demisexual!Bond; headcanon concerning Bond's opinion on sex when not on mission) 17. Memos from Q-Branch by AviaCarter ('Memos from around MI6, many of which are not actually confined to Q-Branch. Includes the minions, Eve's Shoes, Q's secret liqour stash and everyone wanting Bond and Q to just bloody shag already because the tension is making everyone tetchy.' Hilarious 00Q, minions planning world domination, cameos from Mycroft Holmes and Tony Stark, and plain chaos; headcanon for Bondlock so freaking much) 18. Thursday Nights by totalizzyness ('Q wasn't sure when his office became the 'hangout' of the few MI-6 employees he'd consider friends; he didn't mind, but it would have been nice to have been informed.' Adorable!Bond, oblivious!Q; the one where they eat Indian and Chinese in Q's office, and play UNO, cheating quite successfully, and Bond is convinced Tanner wanted to put a hot tub there, too) 19. Wooing Rituals of the James Bond Variety by Elenothar ('In which Q keeps finding cups of tea and snacks around his work station, James Bond is possibly the most regular visitor Q Branch has ever had, and it takes a ridiculously long time for them to get around to actually doing something about it each other.' Semi-oblivious!Q, semi-oblivious!Bond. Aka, the time Bond brought Q a cupcake) 20. a pox on all your machines by scioscribe ('“You’re an expert at the challenging, though. I have handled—personally, mind you—three double-O agents, and not one of them has been the exasperation that you so continuously prove. You don’t think. Someone who doesn’t think doesn’t deserve hot water.” Or, the one where Q controls the universe with technology and Bond is trying to avoid complications (like falling for the voice in his head).' Sadly, no actual world domination takes place; hilarious fic. Wonderful symmetry with them finally getting together in an art gallery. Getting-together headcanon in Bondlock, or one of them. Q being the subtle overlord of the entire world by technology, and stopping bank robberies by iPhones – how did he even DO that, anyway? – and everything else, and feeling, OH THE FEELINGS) 21. love begins at home by seektheinfinite, thisissirius ('It’s almost painful watching his cats’ distress at being turfed off of Bond; Q has to stop himself from giving in and letting Bond stay. It starts with a cat. There's a lot of weirdness in-between. The end is something completely unexpected.' This is in equal parts utterly hilarious, and in equal parts heartbreaking, how Bond gives over his heart to Q without Q even knowing, and caring for Q so much, and being so sappy (for Bond, at least), and being so sad because Bond just knows Q will throw him out, but then Q doesn't and it is the greatest thing ever. Or, Bond moves in with Q without actually, you know, informing Q about said fact) 22. Thought Even The Bones Would Do by TheCatOnTheMoon ('“Bond. How exactly did you involuntarily order a hit on Q?” “Drinking was involved.”' In which Q makes friends with a Russian assassin who isn't Natasha Romanoff, then with Tony Stark, makes Bond confess his feelings, and has way more blackmail on the governments of the world than is considered appropriate. Speaking of appropriate, everybody seems to think Q is technosexual. Also, Bond is emotionally and socially stunted. 'The new quartermaster is fascinating') 23. Employee Relations, Friendly Workplace and Team Building: A Guide to Successful Relationships in the MI6 by Rosslyn ('Because even MI6 isn’t exempt from British administrative features and its assorted exercises. “Ah, bollocks. It says that all departmental heads have to attend or their annual budget won’t get approved. Can they do that?" R finally sets down the iron and pats Q on the shoulder. “If they can make the Double Os take lessons in health and safety,” she says ominously, “They can do whatever the fuck they want."' Remember that NCIS seminar on harrassment? Like that, except ten times better. Also, figuring out weird ways of getting out of a seminar is officially a team building exercise. Also, Q wants to have half of MI6 eradicated. Utterly hilarious. If there is one humorous fic you read from this list, let it be this one. Headcanon for MI6's team dynamics) 24. Denominations by WriteThroughTheNight ('"Q confirms that he's an Empath three months before his first day of primary school, and the deciding of Denominations that comes with it." OR: Q is smarter than anyone gives him credit for, and an Empath to boot.' Empath!Q, Charm Speaker!Bond. It's kind of hard to put a finger on what exactly it is that makes this story worth rereading, but it is unrefutably there. It's like a mix of mother hen!Q, friendship between Q and the infamous Double-Oh agents, humour, some serious angst, some implied prejudice against some Denominations, and just about everything else) 25. Conversations About Q by stereokem ('"Something old, something new, Something Bond, something Q." M’s conversations with Bond were less noteworthy for their brevity than for their weight. Particularly where a certain Quartermaster was concerned.' They are perfectly professional with each other at work, Bond still flirts with Q, and Q is a master at compartmentalizing. The one in which M disapproves because it couldn't possibly spell anything but disaster; Q is called in to intercept a cyber attack against MI6 at 3AM, and M deduces he spent the night at Bond's, and Bond is dressed in pyjamas and it's just about the greatest night scene I've ever read. "M knew one thing for certain: until he died, James Bond would be fighting. For Queen, for Country, and for Q." This fic is brief yet simply beautiful and artistic, Bond and Q's forming relationship is amazingly authentic, and M's portrayal here was one of my favourites, mainly because it showed her severe yet understanding side) 26. God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen (And Lady) by TheGoodDoctor ('It's snowing, and Tanner can't even be outside to enjoy it. To be fair, neither can anyone else. Something about a bomb?' MI6 is an underground lair and M keeps petting a cat like a supervillain. It sort of gives Eve the creeps. Tanner has a dog named Cat. Also, there is a bomb that's going to blow up the entire London at midnight and the city has been evacuated except for Mallory, Tanner, Q, Eve, and Bond, because if they have to die, they will die together as friends. 'Mallory puts his mug down on the black box. “I had hoped my last cup of coffee would taste better.” He smiles down at Bill, sprawled on the sofa under Eve, James and Q, all fast asleep. It's a look full of love and Bill suddenly wants to cry.' Festive in ways that cannot be explained, explosion threat, MI6 family. Same verse as the 'Tanner, that's a no-no word' fic, which makes this hilarious and brilliant and everything that's right with this world; more headcanon for MI6's team dynamics) 27. Sigh No More by dhampir72 ('Bond wants nothing more than for someone, just once, to be waiting for him at the airport when he returns home.' I have been putting off reading this story for a while because after awhile, the angst in the beginning scared me away, but I eventually returned and finished the fic. It was a good thing I did, too. The summary really doesn't do this fic justice. We have Bond: a legendary assassin who, at the end of the day, cannot trust anyone, because everybody whom he trusted is either dead or does no longer exist. He can only trust Q, it seems. And Q... so young, yet he has seen so many hideous things in the world, it's like he's ancient yet sometimes so shockingly childlike. Also, Bond is scarily good at crosswords. The words 'you might need me' kind of broke my heart a few times. It's an inside joke, read the fic to find out. Bond worries about retirement and thinks his life will be meaningless after MI6. Q loves Bond unconditionally and thinks Bond doesn't love him, and maybe that's true, maybe Bond is incapable of love, but this is the closest thing to love that Bond will experience. Simply beautiful. Lots and lots of h/c, and even more angst; some mutual pining at the end. If I was an English teacher, I would comment on about how well the ending tie to the beginning and tie together the fic, but I'm not, so instead, I'll just say that the ending was perfect)

Like Father Like Daughter by CuriTeaist ('Deb discovers Dexter's secret and has a choice to make.' The one where Debra stalks Dexter without him knowing, and finally decides he's not a monster but a monster hunter) 10.

Wrong by shan21 ('Picks up the morning after the Season 4 finale: Dexter knows he has to leave his family to protect them. Deb refuses to accept this. Dexter tries to convince her.' Fantastic portrayal of Debra's reaction, very much worth the read, the one where Deb finds out Dexter's a serial killer, makes him breakfast, and then proceeds to tell him he will make a good father to Cody and Aster and Harrison anyway) 13. Gnōthi Seauton by aszecsei ('Dexter was content. Now, after Lumen, he finds himself needing acceptance from the one person he can't imagine betraying him: his foster sister, Debra.

With the police hot on his brother's trail and his own innocence brought into question, what is poor, dazed Dexter to do with his new roommate? AU. Bloody, brotherly bonding.') 15. The Pursuit of by A Very Neat Monster ('Dexter and Debra’s pursuits bring them uncomfortably close to one another’s secrets. Post season 2, spoilers for seasons 1 and 2. Point of view: alternating between Deb and Dex.' In which LaGuerta decides to dig deeper into the Butcher case, drags Debra with her. Debra discovers Dexter is looking into the same things, stalks him, and discovers he's the Butcher. Cue the awkward family talk, Debra looking at the blood slides, and sibling bonding) 16. The Readers by SilentEvilx ('In the future, the government employs people called "Readers". Their unique genetic makeup allows them to determine whether or not a person will commit murder in their life. If a person is determined to be a murderer, they will execute them. Dexter Morgan has been randomly selected to be interviewed with one of these Readers.' The can't get any read on Dexter. None at all) 17. Style by copperbadge ('Dexter makes a friend.' NCIS crossover, serial killer!Tony DiNozzo) 18. and everything i touched was turned to darkness by bayloriffic ('Dexter and Deb go on the run.' Harrison is alluded to develop abandonment issues, Deb is definitely not okay yet she is, Debster happens, and California is the ultimate goal. Oh, and there is a nationwide manhunt in there somewhere, too) 19. Fallout by Wilshards ('FBI's Supervisory Special Agent Carl Henshaw and his team investigate a gruesome discovery off the coast of Miami in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura, and also try to make sense of the events that unfolded at the end of Season 8.' Very good grammar, wonderful plot; one FBI Agent investigates the bodies that wash up after Hurricane Laura. He clears Doakes' name, finds out Dexter faked his death, brings him in, accuses him of 153 deaths plus more unknowns, Dexter gets an army of fans that pay for a top-notch lawyer. Finally, Dexter confesses to being the BHB, and the CIA quietly whisks him off to use as an assassin. One of the most satisfactory endings ever) 20. Changing Channels Meme: Supernatural/Dexter by Annie D (scaramouche) ('Sam and Dean end up in "Dexter".' Supernatural crossover, during 'Changing Channels'.

Or, Lundy stays in Miami, and starts to discover discrepancies with the BHB case, all the while dating Deb, who insist on inviting her brother and Rita for dinner. Lundy and Dexter go finishing, and a hypothetical case turns very real very quickly. The ending is ambiguous, even more so that Xerosis, but there you go. It is very much worth the trouble) 22. Unique by claudiapriscus ('It's been a crazy week for Miami Metro: Three teenage girls found with their throats torn out. A fourth is missing. And then there's the rash of decapitations. There's no link between any of them save for a common crime scene, and nothing's adding up. It's been a good week for Dexter - a break from the ennui of the routine of his perfect suburban life. Besides, he's a little better at putting two and two together than his colleagues are and the total of this latest spate of weirdness keeps coming up Dean Winchester. It's a prize Dexter can hardly resist: a notorious mass murder who has eluded the law time and time again - to say nothing of convincingly faking his death several times. Dexter intends to fix that. It'll stick this time: he'll see to it. There's just one problem, and it's about to bite Dexter in the ass: Nothing is ever simple when it comes to the Winchesters.' Supernatural crossover. In which Dexter kills Dean and Dean comes back as a ghost, only to then regain his body. Around season 3 Dexter, season 5-ish Supernatural. Gabriel makes an appearance and says that Dexter is just the kind of jerk Gabriel likes to punish) 23. Bone Yard by xzombiexkittenx ('There's a serial killer in Miami and the Feds send Jack Crawford and his dream team down to catch the so-called Bay Harbor Butcher.'

Revelation by Dom186 ('Dexter's Dark Passenger is discovered by his sister, leading him to reflect on the many facets of one Debra Morgan.' The plot is very good, but the spelling (or lack thereof) kind of drags the quality down) The Book Of Mormon: 1.

Hannibal and Will meet and have a small chit chat, but then the funeral ends. Afterwards, Hannibal wants to see Will again, so he did what anybody else could. He killed another relative.' Normal-ish!AU, good but I didn't read it very thoroughly. Spelling's good though) 37. Still Waters by Vintage_lover_who ('Will never intended to survive the fall. Neither did he expect the adaptation the aftermath would implicate, especially when living with a sophisticated cannibal and his feelings for him.' I fucking teared up during reading this fic and listening to 'The Last Goodbye'. So although the punctuation is downright despicable, it's a beautiful fic. Also, it takes The Epilogue into consideration. Featuring badass!Chiyon) 38. Of Love by willneverbeordinary ('If Will knows for certain that Hannibal loves him, what does he do with that knowledge?' Bit AU, established relationship, not canon plot but canon setting) 39. A Great and Gruesome Height by mokuyoubi ('In his mind, the fall lasts a small eternity. In reality, it's maybe two seconds. Will and Hannibal go over the cliff, just like they planned. Picks up where the finale ends, fills in all the blanks of the last episode, and continues through to their new life as Murder Husbands.' Lovely. In which Hannibal is downright besotted with Will's killer instinct, Bedelia poisons herself with Deadly Belladonna/Nightshade, Will and Hannibal go to the Caribbeans, Will occasionally has flings, there is a serious discussion about why Hannibal wanted to eat Will's brain, and overall cuteness and seriousness and h/c. Also, Will is the most convincing liar Hannibal has ever met, and is very good at slipping into different roles now that he has let go of his shame. Also, they have a boat and a lighthouse as a safehouse. No FBI following them though. Featuring Margot Verger-Bloom, and Chiyon) 40. Cult of personality by AuntyAgonee ('The Dragon is dead, but Will and Hannibal are not. They're doing very nicely, in fact, settled into a marriage and a small town where they can murder about once a month without attracting much attention. A cult has taken centre-stage with their flashy violence, and seem to have a marked interest in everyone's favourite murder husbands. FBI agents converge to investigate, and if that's not bad enough, Margot Verger turns up bleeding on the doorstep, fresh from a struggle that ended in her wife and child being abducted. She won't rest, or leave, until she gets some help from the most accomplished murderers she knows. In the centre of it all is Will, trying not to lose his mind, and Hannibal, who just wants to enjoy his marriage.' The plot is engaging and original; very pleasant read. The grammar seems a bit weird at first, but then you realize it's actually quite proper. Aka, the one where the Murder Husbands settle in a small town in America. The FBI was there on the cliff. Will is a very good and suave actor, even when he is introverted. Hannibal and Will know where Alana and Margot are. Will sleep-talks and says either the most insightful things or the most nonsensical. It never fails to amuse Hannibal) 41. The Champagne Minuet by DarkmoonSigel ('Will figures the truth out over dinner. Hilarity ensues.' One of many sometimes cute, sometimes serious, sometimes downright hilarious, oneshots. Lovely fics, although the author is sometimes overly fond of dots. One of the first Hannibal fics I've read) 42. Fool by tangerine (arte) ('Hannibal loses twenty years of his memory. He's beyond embarassed with his future self. He has become a lovesick fool somewhere along the way.' Weird but cool) 43. Touching Electronics by tangerine (arte) ('"Which is why I need some alone time with the MRI before I can get inside it," Will paused, looking back at the sentence that just came out of his mouth. Thoughtfully he said, "That sounded really wrong, but I don't know how else to say it."' Technopath!Will or technokinetic!Will, preslash, humour or fluff) 44. I'd die for you, I'd kill for you by tangerine (arte) ('"I'd die for you," said Hannibal, giving Will an utterly besotted look across the table. With any other couples, this kind of remark would have been met with a simple return of the sentiment. It was a clichéd enough expression of love after all. However, them being what they are, Will couldn't help but get professional about it. "How would your dying help me?" Will asked, and not in a hypothetical manner. He honestly wanted to know how Hannibal could die for him in the most helpful way.' A bit of h/c, a bit of humour, a bit of bonding, intriguing conversation) 45. Man Delights Not Me by masonverger_rising (asexual!Will, aromantic!Will, demisexual!Hannibal, panromantic!Hannibal, Hannibal discovering his sexual attraction to Will while will is sleeping in his chair, and jerking off in the bathroom) 46. Every Day's Most Quiet Need by mackenziebutterschnapps ('Post TWOTL Hannigram. These two guys are not good with feelings, especially good feelings. There is flirting but mostly pining. So, so much pining.' Might seem like asexual!Will and asexual!Hannibal but it's really not. Domestic fluff, Hannibal avoiding touching) 47. Allegory of Spring by objectlesson ('"Strange, how a man can live with a single kidney, but not without a heart."' Mutual pining and love, beautiful, ambiguous ending) 48. You are my sunshine by GreenPhoenix ('Hannibal gets drugged and tells a few truths about Will.' Cute, funny, featuring Jack, Zeller, Price, Katz) 49. Particular Hungers by Silverfeathered_Angel ('Will finds life, and the prospect of a lonely eternity that stretches out before him, to be terribly dull. That is, until he comes across a human who is far too tempting for his own good.' Vampire!Will, Will is thousands of years old) 50. Weather by The_Button_Harlequin ('Will has to go out to a crime scene and forgets that the weather man isn't always right.' Cute preslash) 51. In Your Hands by tangerine (arte) ('The world was crazy and Will had long ran out of fucks to give. After getting his hand grabbed by a literal mushroom man, seeing a living human sewn inside a dead horse, and hallucinating a heart made out of a twisted body untwisting itself to become a stag, watching Hannibal turning into an actual cat before his very eyes seemed more like a natural progression than anything else. Or, in which Hannibal turns into a cat but isn't really that different from his usual self.' Cat!Hannibal) 52. Abattoir by joursdenfantsmorts ('Will shows up injured in Hannibal's office one night; Hannibal gets his hands dirty and learns something interesting about Will.' Serial killer!Will, dark!Will, manipulative!Hannibal, dark, delicious, preslash, a bit of light torture and violence) 53. Camera Obscura by rubberbutton ('Will is a powerful telepath working with the BAU. Hannibal has always been able to shield his darker thoughts from Will, but when he is drugged and his control slips, Will sees through the veil.' Telepath!Will, telepath!Hannibal) 54. edo, ergo sum by Chi-chi-chimaera (gestalt1) ('An AU where Will is a serial killer and Hannibal is working with the FBI to catch him. Hannibal is still a jerk and a sociopath, merely made a different decision re: that whole murder thing. Will is a copycat with artistic flair and far too many people-eating dogs.' Serial killer!Will, sociopath!Hannibal or psychopath!Hannibal, cannibal!Will, cannibalistic dogs) 55. You're Not Fooling Anybody by Catchclaw ('Hannibal gets a cat. Will gets a clue.' Hannibal is a besotted gentleman, Beverly is a matchmaker, and Hannibal's cat is named Francesca. Oh, and there is also a conference for psychiatrists and Hannibal leaves Francesca in the hands of Will) 56. Among Other Things by JuliaJekyll ('Hannibal's experience in the catacombs while waiting for Will.' 2nd person POV, pining) 57. Appalling by karomel_the_prompt_angel ('incarcerated murder husbands being little shits as per usual. Alana is done with their shit.' Hilarious. Sequels: 'Ugly' and 'Freedom'. Oneshots, part of Hannibal Advent 2015) 58. Family part 1 & 2 by karomel_the_prompt_angel ('Jack and Kade catch Hannibal. Will bluffs his trade and fools the FBI. Jack witnesses a new Will Graham.' Downright terrific, in both meanings of the word. Oneshots, part of Hannibal Advent 2015) 59. Discussion by karomel_the_prompt_angel ('Will and Hannibal send Jack a gift of home videos. At the end Will has a one sided discussion with Jack, and makes him a promise.' Sequel: Gift Wrapping, featuring the dog Encephalitis. Oneshots, part of Hannibal Advent 2015) 60. Candy canes by karomel_the_prompt_angel ('Will is a sassy lil fucker who bad-assedly killes someone with a candy cane.' Cute oneshot. Seriously, who would be suicidal enough to try to rob Will and Hannibal? Part of Hannibal Advent 2015) 61. Hannibal in Love by angstytimelord ('No one who loves as much as Hannibal does could be denied love in return.' Cute but Hannibal was too OOC for my tastes, meaning he was willing to give up killing for Will. Basically, there was too little cannibalism in this fic for my liking, so I didn't get past chapter 5. Lots of fluff and more fluff) 62. Doritos & M&M's by nat_oliver ('Or that one which it's Will's birthday party and Hannibal mishears a conversation between Will and the Lab Team.' It's actually about removing the wisdom teeth) 63. Become the Beast by CheshireCity ('Surviving the fall from the cliff house left Will with a choice: remain an agent or become the beast. After months of staying in Hannibal Lecter's company, he imbibes in his darker desires and together they make a new name for themselves. All goes smoothly until one night when a murder goes awry, leaving a witness - and a new ward.' Ambiguous ending – dream or not? The one where Will and Hannibal feel affection for each other but not love) 64. Sanctimonious by Everett_Harte ('Set vaguely in Season 1, Hannibal Lecter decides instead of winding him up and watching him go, it's far more prudent to kill Will Graham. This comes back to bite him in the ass. Or stab him in the chest, as it were.' Zombie!Will-ish, zombie!Hannibal-ish, depending on your opinion. The one in which Hannibal kills Will, eats him, then Will arises from death in a new body [I think, kills Hannibal and probably eats him – am kind of vague on that part, but it's certainly an amusing situation) 65. The FBI, in the Mansion, with the Motive by Entity_Sylvir ('Invited out to the countryside, the FBI team find themselves ensnared in a cosy classic of a case.' Considering the fact that Hannibal coughs every time someone makes a food pun, I'm surprised nobody has caught on yet. Implied Hannigram slash, cliché and a bit boring fic, very light, okay, original story) 66. Canis Minor by WarpedChyld ('Will is gone for several hours. Hannibal frets and pines and draws and thinks about their life together. Also, dog. A big dog. A big dumb dog. Hannibal adores it.' There are two dogs: a dumb but lovable pure-breed named Encephalitis, and a smart street puppy named Gaslight. Cute oneshot) 67. A Lover's Quarrel by baeberiibungh ('Hannibal and Will have a fight.' Mediocre fic. In which Hannibal and Will have a fight which leads to the capture of Hannibal. Will regrets his actions and contemplates how many people he will have to kill to share a cell with Hannibal) 68. Prison Wedding by coloredink ('Will and Hannibal, imprisoned together for the crime of being Murder Husbands, deciding to actually get married. Cue exasperated Alana as their witness.' For Hannibal Advent 2015, funny, the one with the thirty feet restriction order) 69. Of teacups and time by chimosa ('The parcel comes in the mail; a nondescript manila envelope that contains only a notebook filled with equations. When he thumbs through the pages an unsigned note flutters to the floor and Will knows Hannibal’s handwriting too intimately to fool himself into thinking anyone but he had written it. "The teacup has been unbroken."' Time travel fic, Will travels through time (ish) with the help of a notebook. Maybe. Not entirely sure about that. The plot is intriguing but so so mindfucking) 70. Save Me by KryssyV1 ('Alana had been invited to brunch at the Lecter household, and had been in happy mood until she heard a loud scream.' Not actual murder) 71. Haunting Hannibal by I. H. Scribe ('Beverly comes back as a ghost and decides she owes Hannibal some misfortune.' Light humour) 72. the hand that feeds by wintervioleteye ('James Bond meets Hannibal Lecter for dinner.' Hannibal crossover crossover) 73. My Husband by 3VictoriaAGrey ('“My husband this, my husband that. It’s a wonder Jack hasn’t followed your trail of “my husband”s to our front door.” “He doesn’t know we’re married.” “He’s the only one!” In which Hannibal is a little too smitten and Will figures out Hannibal is That Guy.' Very cute, a bit AU) 74. Bright Star by mresundance ('Things Hannibal says when he gets drunk.' Cute) 75. Two Kisses by mresundance ('A kiss; the most terrible kiss of his life. His hot lips against Hannibal's cold clay ones.' Post 3x13, not actual death fic, happy ending) 76. And You Shared Them With Me by fictionalfaerie ('Five people and their reactions to Will's new coping mechanism.' Meaning cutting paper stars and making necklaces) 77. Don't fucking analyse me, Graham. by until_the_earth_is_free ('Will and Brian get stuck in an elevator and things are as cliched as they sound.' Claustrophobic!Zeller, Will/Zeller, exasperated!Jack, trapped in an elevator, h/c, oneshot) 78. The Unexpected Complication by until_the_earth_is_free ('Will crashes his car into Chilton's.' Asexual!Will, Wil/Chilton, somewhat AU or pre-series) 79. Hozhoni by drinkbloodlikewine, whiskeyandspite ('An exploration of murder husbands post The Fall. The first three chapters represent the first three months, the last follows on through month three.' Asexual!Will, understanding!Hannibal, post-3x13, they have a cabin up in the mountains and a dog named Titus. Will probably named him. Hannibal is greatly supportive and does research about asexuality. Will doesn't do any kind of sexual touching, but he does sometimes masturbate to the thought of Hannibal masturbating. 'He finishes his coffee and sets the mug aside, and beyond the flavor of the drink itself, it tastes unpleasantly bitter. Beyond navigating injury and space, they have had to learn this too in the month since the fall. How to speak to the other without masking their meaning to opaque depths; how to converse without threat. How to joke and how to laugh and how to breathe, away from the pervasive harm that wrapped barbed wire over everything they said for years. They are unraveling it, inch by inch, but it is slow work, and not without pain.' Simply outstanding) 80. You See Yourself In Monochrome (I See You In Color) by Jay Auris (nighthawkms) ('Brian's asexuality has always been an issue in relationships. Jimmy asks him for a chance.' Asexual!Zeller, Zeller/Price, the one where Zeller is okay with Price masturbating while Zeller's kissing him. I completely empathize with Brian for wanting people to just BACK OFF) 81. get over that hold out by amare ('Will's obligated to attend the annual BAU Christmas party. Katz wants him to feel like part of the team, Jack's just trying to indulge his wife, Price is going for the open bar--and Will knows there's no way Dr. Lecter would be caught dead at such a black-tie travesty.' Will is an awkward turtle; random facts about mistletoe; Hannibal is devious. Also, there is some chaste kissing and some of the opposite sort) 82. Gauche by snaxo ('Will risks a look to his right and, sure enough, Hannibal fucking Lecter is standing next to him, eerily calm and impeccably dressed as ever. All colour drains from Will’s face as he realises he’s just unintentionally asked the guy he might be crushing on out to what is likely to be considered a date.' Will/Hannibal, cute. Rich!Hannibal, poor!Will, high school dance. Hannibal has a crush, awkward flirting, Hannibal is not a cannibal, but he is a mother hen, cute!Hannibal) 83. Make the Yuletide Gay by elena0206 ('Upon receiving an anonymous gift, Jimmy Price and Brian Zeller find themselves forced to spend the Christmas day together.' Will/Hannibal, Zeller/Price, they get a puppy for Christmas) 84. Of Monsters and Mirrors by tangerine (arte) ('Will gets turned while he's sleepwalking. Already a hot mess, Will doesn't notice that he's become a vampire until he crashes into Hannibal's office.' Vampire!Will, Will attacks Hannibal and drinks his blood, but Hannibal's okay with that) 85. Cared For by hannigramcracker ('A patient spilling some perfume is bad news for Hannibal and his sensitive nose.' Cute fic, somewhat smutty at the end, but mostly fluff and h/c) 86. Promises by strangestorys ('Hannibal is trying to get some work done, and Will has other plans. Very fluffy.' Cute!Will, Hannibal writing a paper anonymously) 87. rebuilt shiny and new by ghostwarning ('Years after Hannibal and Will disappear, Molly gets a call from Jack Crawford.' Clarice/Molly) 88. Deep inside by AliceAyres ('Will is self-conscious about the scar Dolarhyde gave him. Hannibal loves everything about him.' BesottedHannibal, or more like enamoured, '“Are we thinking about expanding our family?” Will jokes, but his eyes are shining. Hannibal thinks about stealing their neighbors’ dog.' Hannibal is afraid Will will leave but Will won't because he loves Hannibal even though he does not know it) 89. Slow Like Honey by bluesyturtle ('Secrets are shared, a case is solved, and some nice things also happen.' The one in which Hannibal is shot and Will stays with him; Hannibal is drugged and the two talk honestly in a hospital. Cute fic) 90. The Vegetarian Option by Doodled93 ('Will hasn't eaten meat since his dad died when he was a kid--hasn't been able to stomach it. It's not moral, it's just unappealing. Too bad his dad never gave him the name of his butcher. He doesn't mind Hannibal's cooking, though, and if he could only remember to ask him who his butcher is... Hannibal is simply curious how deeply Will's nature is buried. He'd almost missed seeing it himself.' Detailed descriptions of kidnapping and killing. Probably permanent WIP. Wendigo!Hannibal, wendigo!Will, cannibal!Will, cannibal!Abigail, the one where Hannibal's being weird and capitalizes certain words, and Will has a more acute sense of smell) 91. Mistaken for Strangers by Nymphalidae ('Roll reversal AU: Hannibal Lecter is a criminal profiler with the FBI sent to see the brilliant psychiatrist Dr. Graham when his empathy gets out of control, and he struggles with reality. Psychiatrist!Will, serial killer!Will, cannibal!Will, profiler!Hannibal. Hannibal owns cats instead of dogs. This is basically a role-and-personality-reversal, save for a few changes. Although not the most interesting from a literary and imaginary point of view, still very intriguing psychologically, since it provides the read with lots of unexplained motivations for Hannibal's actions in the series – only in this case, it's Will committing them) 92. Una Affettuosa Famiglia di Mostri by quenchycactus ('They are, to the outside, the picture of a happy family. Not the most normal, certainly not nuclear, but the Fiorentini think this for trivial reasons, in that they’re a bit of a hodgepodge gathering of people. Suspicion falls nowhere near their direction. No one can truly know what a family does behind closed doors.' Dark!Will, dark!Abigail, pleasant to read, sometimes borderline emotional kidnapping) 93. Dare e Prendere by quenchycactus (Will kills Jack) 94. Fiori per I Diavoli by quenchycactus (Will, Hannibal, and Abigail kill Freddie Lounds. 'In the corner of his eye Hannibal spies the hemlock from Will’s arrangement, artfully placed around the table in a clear message of a returned sentiment. “You will be my death,” the leaves say, and Hannibal knows the only demise they will ever accept is by each other’s hands. They live and they will die for the other, by the other. It is the only option available, with their minds and bodies blurred together into an indistinguishable mass. When one lives, so does the other. And when they leave this life they will do so as a singular unit.') 95. L’Ultima Cena by quenchycactus ('“Maybe we should throw a dinner party,” Abigail suggests. “One last hoorah.”' Abigail kills her friend. 'Hannibal cooks dinner as he always does, kisses Will on his cheek and smooths Abigail’s hair, and they watch the world together as it burns under their feet.' Beautiful) 96. post cleansing by PuppyWillGraham ('"It's not cannibalism," Hannibal intones, in much the same manner he did once all those years ago to Dr. Abel Gideon, except this time, it's to Will Graham about Bedelia Du Maurier. "Unless we're equals."' My new headcanon: demisexual!Will, panromantic!Will, pansexual!Hannibal, demiromantic!Hannibal, agender!Hannibal, gnederfluid!Will, fluff and slightly smut) 97. Can't Read My Poker Face by Watermelonsmellinfellon ('Will and Hannibal playing poker while recovering from their injuries and Will winning the entire Lecter estate because he is just that good. However it doesn’t get really interesting until they start playing for other people’s lives.' Funny, a bit OOC but it's still a pleasant and light read) 98. Semblance by sfumatosoup ('Hannibal places his hand over Will's, mirroring him through the barrier. "If you're ready, then I'm yours." The earth is still new and the foundation is yet to settle; but it will be sowed and it will bloom. Will eagerly anticipates the harvest.' Sweet yet entertaining fic, smart!Will, dark!Will. Falling in love. Will realizes he is in love and lust with Hannibal, Will changes plans but not really, more like changes motives. Jerking off in shower with each other. The one where they go to Hannibal's safe-house first, and then spend a day at the cliff house before Dolarhyde comes. Lots of Bible and Sherlock references. Beware though: complicated phrasing. Sometimes figuring out one scene takes ten minutes, so while it is exhilarating in the beginning, if you don't get the author's thought process, you won't have the energy to read it all. And that's okay, it really is. It took me ages just to figure out the first chapter. I loved the first five chapters and that's why the fic is on my rec list. After that, I didn't read very carefully, and after chapter 12, I didn't read at all) 99. Tilt by darkpriestess ('Out of all her patients, Bedelia can’t think of one she has failed so entirely as Hannibal Lecter. But who could have guessed that he, of all people, would be brought so low by love?' The one in which Will won Bedelia's life in a poker game against Hannibal, and Hannibal agreed to only eat her leg) 100. Symphony #40 in G Minor, K 550 - 1. Molto Allegro by DarkmoonSigel ('Hannibal is feeling lonely so he goes to Will's house in the middle of the night. Stuff happens.' Dark!Will – and I am not kidding about the 'dark' part. Will ties Hannibal up with handcuffs, tape, and plastic, and then serves him Jack's head on a plate – literally) 101. Bagatelle in A minor by DarkmoonSigel ('Hannigram crack with Franklin.' Will has moved every furniture one inch to the left to piss Hannibal off) 102. Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major by DarkmoonSigel ('Hannibal is put in an awkward situation. Will is amused.' Hannibal is almost forced to try a cookie while interviewing witnesses. Will is of absolutely no help whatsoever) 103. And For Once, Everyone Lives by zeldazonk ('Instead of Hannibal taking Will to the Hobbs house and Will trying to shoot Hannibal, they decide to run away together. Two years later, Beverly Katz goes on her honeymoon with her new husband Saul, and reflects on her life at Quantico. Though Beverly quit soon after Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter disappeared, she has found herself thinking of them often, and finally solves the case that's been keeping her up at night.' Basically a happy ending for everyone. Season 1 AU ending) 104. Brûlant by Expectoprongs ('Jack and his swarm of FBI cronies kicked in the door. Will Graham had never looked so fragile and deranged as he did in that moment, covered in his own blood and smiling at something that wasn’t there.' So utterly delicious dark!Will, serial killer!Will. The one with Will killing people with ice. Murder courtship. Artistic and elegant, yet passionate. Will is hallucinating Hobbs as part of his subconscious. The only problem I have is that the ending is inconclusive. It feels like there should be more, but the ending is so abrupt. I was like, 'hey, is this it?'. Oh well. Still a fascinating story. 'Brûlant' meaning 'burning' in French, which I only realized now and feel very stupid. Will felt like he was burning after he was kidnapped by the Alchemy Assassin serial killer and was forced to confront his true killer self. The burning sensation is Will feeling like he is dying or dead, or being drawn to Hannibal and feeling like Hannibal is the only person who can save him again because he was owner-marked by the Alchemy Assassin. The burning also represents Will's need to kill to prove to himself that he is alive) 105. Morning-star by KareliaSweet ('Hannibal actually IS Lucifer,he just got bored in Hell and is chilling on Earth,appreciating art and cannibalizing people;so when Will finally dies (in whatever way), he just finds himself in Hell as a King alongside Hannibal.' Lucifer!Hannibal, Satan!Hannibal, King of Hell!Hannibal, Lord of Hell!Hannibal, consort!Will, featuring Abigail as a Princess of Hell of sorts, and Beverly as an angel. Angel!Beverly. Hannibal isn't actually all that evil. Compared to other Hannibal fics, this is downright light) 106. All of Time and Space by Azvee ('After traveling alone for many years, Hannibal finds himself feeling lonely. He decides to find a companion on Earth to join him on his travels. After all, if the Doctor was able to find so many people to share his journey with, Hannibal should be able to as well. Or, the one where Hannibal is a Time Lord that ends up fixated on Will.' Time Lord!Hannibal, Doctor Who crossover, companion!Will. It ends about as well as one would expect) 107. Something Without a Ship on the Bottle by KitsuneGirl911 ('Hannibal and Will get together thanks to an appropriately timed and only slightly insulting gift from our favorite psychiatrist. Beverly knows something is up. And it's awesome.' The cannibal jokes... oh God. Fluff, slight crack, the Science Bros Ship It, Jack is clueless) 108.

Hannibal confides in Will his lingering guilt over his sisters death and Will shows his support. Murder Family.' Cute, some h/c) 112. I talk about you (to my psychiatrist) by chesapeakedipper ('“So, James” Hannibal began, professionally, folding his arms “what would you like us to discuss today?” Jim dithered for a second. He didn’t really want to utter his recent thoughts all at once – but after all he was the one he asked Hannibal for his consultation, so it was worth doing the thing in a proper manner. “Well” he started muttering, cracking his neck and fingers, almost breathless “lately I – I’ve been thinking about someone.” Or, in other words, how Hannibal Lecter helped Jim Moriarty in admitting his feelings for Sherlock Holmes.' Hannibal/Will, Sherlock/Moriarty, Sherlock crossover) 113. 'Let My Soul Catch Fire, At Least I Will Burn With You by April_Gabriella ('Will doesn't wake up dead, he finds that surprising. A different ending to Digestivo. First part is wonderful and well-written romance, second is smut. Hannigram, jealous!Will, love confessions, killer!Will, fluff, Hannibal is hopelessly in love with Will. Mustread) 114.

The revelation does not come with panic or revulsion, but with a breathy 'oh,' of quiet resignation, and Will knows he is going to die.' Unrequited love, Will figures it out, kind of pre-slash Hannigram, dub-con cannibalism. Hannibal chooses to kill Will, but Will wants to kill himself because he doesn't want to die by Hannibal's hand. Beautiful and so very in-character) 117. Separately to a Wood by emungere ('#I want the AU where Hannibal just proposes to Will that morning in the motel room #and for some reason Will says 'yes'.' Hannibal/Will, Will doesn't know that Hannibal's the Chesapeake Ripper. Season 1 AU, implied cannibalism) 118. My love is pure by cervolina ('During their vacation in Florence Hannibal begins to touch Will more often and Will realises there is something he needs to tell Hannibal about himself. It leads to a profound discussion about Will's sexuality, their romantic relationship and what it really means to be love.' Post-3x13, Hannibal/Will, asexual!Will, h/c, very well-written) 119. Kintsugi by blind_bombshell ('Jack follows a clue given by Freddie Lounds... it doesn't go well.' Hannibal and Will kill and eat Jack. Post-3x13) 120. Cultivation by MadameMontgomery ('In order to not deal with his feelings about Hannibal after the fall, Will starts a garden. It works about as well as expected.'

At a new point in their relationship, and eager to put some space between themselves and Jack Crawford's grasping hands, they settle in Cuba and let 90 miles of ocean and a vast political rift shield them from the reach of the FBI. But Jack is nothing if not persistant, and he manages to drag them back eventually. Will is not thrilled to be back at the BAU. Season 4, played out in a court battle that really isn't doing Jack any favors.' Jack making a list of what has been going on since Randall Trier. Will married Hannibal sometimes on Cuba, and somehow managed to cast a shadow of doubt onto the accusations of Hannibal being the Ripper so that they freed Hannibal after season 3. 'Hannibal and I are too good together for the likes of you. All your old, potential allies are our assured allies, because we already have them painted in our colors.' Hannibal and Will's domestic life is sweet if somewhat macabre. 'You’re non-verbal before coffee, then spout metaphors. I think you’re stranger here.' Fix-it.

Months before he met Hannibal for the first time. Free from his past he decides to change events and meet Hannibal again.' Time travel. Nothing calms Will but remembering the time he and Hannibal killed the Dragon. Will is able to create people as real as any he touches, with real reactions. Will is stalked by imaginary!Hannibal. 'He looked to Hannibal with a fond smile.But he shouldn’t smile, Will reminded himself. Hannibal had just committed a murder and orchestrated the whole day just so he could take Will to a crime scene. Will already knew Hannibal would insist on waiting and driving Will back to his car later. He would frame it as the polite thing to do, and Will thought Hannibal actually owed him a ride back. After all, he had just ended their date with a murder. A murder he had meticulously planned so it would be discovered just as their date was about to end. Will wondered how Hannibal had managed the timing.' Crime scenes with explained significance. Very fascinating. Reference for any future Hannibal fics re: how to write crime scenes and the logic behind any murder of Will and Hannibal's. Will is suddenly put in Hannibal's old spot of wanting to get closer to the other without the other trusting him, and starts to sympathize with the old Hannibal. Jack starts to suspect Hannibal because of Will's actions as the Admirer, so Will kills Bedelia. This fic gives very good insight into Will's relationship with Bedelia, both of their motives, and just what Hannibal intended with Bedelia. For all that he was her patient, she was the one being manipulated. In exchange for Will killing Bedelia, Hannibal killed Will's dogs. Bad ending for Will, not so much failed manipulation as that the consequences of said manipulation were too painful to bear. Whereas before, Hannibal and Will were 'competing' for Alana, now, Alana and Hannibal are 'competing' for Will. Will gives away his dogs for Hannibal's sake. Mustread) 137.

Hannibal is still a jerk and a sociopath, merely made a different decision re: that whole murder thing. Will is a copycat with artistic flair and far too many people-eating dogs.' Hannibal's inner demons and inner monster and inner fears of what he can become are great to read, but his inner sarcasm takes the cake. This helps with understanding Hannibal, through understanding dark!Will. 'It’s curious that Will feels so much of a connection to him, despite their brief meeting. It can’t be only because of what he has bottled up inside him. He’s never been good at letting other people close, but he thinks with Hannibal he might be prepared to try. It will all depend on the outcome of this case, really. As much as Will has felt, from time to time, as though he would like the pleasure of human company, he’s not willing to risk his freedom over it. But if he can bring out Hannibal’s potential...' Bedelia has taught Hannibal how to act human. 'He is aware this potential has always been in him, that it is, in a very real sense, the reality of him, but one cold winter a lifetime ago when the roads had been impassable and hunger had been the master of all, any pretence of being something else had been stripped away, withered, burned, boiled. He has spent a very long time learning how to reconstruct that pretence. There had been other animals in that forest with him that walked on two legs as he did, and he does not want to be like them.'

He wasn't Will Graham. Will Graham had made his decision, and now Jack would have to deal with the consequences of it.' Will and Hannibal kiss in 3x13. 'It seemed that Will and Hannibal were carrying out a whole conversation solely with their eyes. It was easy to call to mind the days when they had both been consulting for the BAU, standing on either side of an operating table or a few steps from one another at a crime scene. They’d had their own little world back then, where Hannibal had been the only one able to properly anchor Will when he had been fever-deep in a reconstruction and where Will had been the only one able to keep up with Hannibal’s increasingly obscure metaphors and involved analyses. No daunting leap need be made from that to true nonverbal communication.' Jack describes the scene beautifully, even as he is horrified. Hannibal and Will don't fall, but simply walk off-camera and disappear. Will and Hannibal eat Bedelia, then cut off Freddie's fingers and make them into lollipops and eat two in front of her and give the rest to the FBI. They send Alana a warning notice. Will makes his own puns nowadays, with Frederick being 'too burnt out to be a good host'. Four years after the murder of the serial killer known as the Red Dragon, Jack would be forced by the bureaucracy to leave active duty and take up a teaching post in Quantico, seeing a physiatrist to help him move on with his life sans paranoia.

Is it part of your degree?” “He is a part of my degree by my own choice. My supervisor didn’t approve, but…” He sighs. “I insisted.” AU where Will—a Masters student studying the Chesapeake Ripper—gets drunk on his birthday and meets an intriguing man at the bar.' Will is obsessed with the Ripper. Pure and unadulterated obsession and admiration. He kills people for Hannibal. They're equals at the end. Dark!Will, serial killer!Will. Student!Will, but Will eventually quits being a student and is dragged into the FBI. Another FBI agent is another serial killer, the Viper. Will has two dogs: an adult and a puppy. Will and Hannibal kill together these days. Will is still obsessed at the end, but at least he's achieved his goal. 'It was one of the most beautiful and thrilling experiences of his life: seeing the Chesapeake Ripper in action, and bathing his hands in the blood of their victim as he reached inside his chest, and pulled out his hot dripping heart. A dream come true.' Sassy fic. '“Delicious,” says Jack, munching on the person whose death he’ll be investigating tomorrow.' In the epilogue, the rest of the characters 'set up' Hannibal and Will, blissfully unaware of the fact that they've been together for months now. 'As soon as I saw the two of them I knew they were perfect for each other. But I knew they’d never think of doing anything while they were working together. They’re both far too professional.' 'Jack Crawford merely rolls his eyes. Like the good FBI agent he is, he’s known about this liaison for ages.

Agent Crawford called in one of the best minds he could to take on the case. This AU fic that explores the question ″what if Will Graham snapped before he met Hannibal Lecter?"' Very interesting backstory. The few first paragraphs may seem off-putting, but I genuinely enjoy the idea of dark!Will&Jack&Bella's relationship, and how serial killer!Will saved more lives by working with the FBI than he took. Will and Hannibal discussing Star Trek fanfiction. Will&Jack were best friends before, or father and son of a kind. Mustread) Top nine Hannibal fics: 1. When the Devil Smiles Back by GoldenUsagi ('Four years after his escape, Hannibal Lecter is once again imprisoned at the hospital in Baltimore. He's the same as ever, except that he refuses to discuss Will Graham, who there hasn't been a trace of in years. When the Buffalo Bill killings start, FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to interview him, and Hannibal has his interest piqued. But it’s not for reasons anyone would suspect, and as usual, his motivations are all about Will. A remix of Silence of the Lambs, where Clarice finds herself occupied not only with catching Buffalo Bill, but with unraveling the mystery of what exactly happened to Will Graham. And Hannibal knows more than he’s letting on about both.' THE best Hannibal fanfic I've ever read. Clarice Starling is a very intriguing person with a set of very interesting morals and ideals, even compared with the original Starling. She wouldn't kill unless in self-defense but she would be completely indifferent to it – a fascinating concept. The one in which Hannibal fake-killed Will because the FBI was getting onto them. Brilliant mix of the original book/movie and the TV-series. If you only read one single Hannibal fanfic, please let it be this one) 2. Kissing Families by Therru ('"No one can be fully aware of another human being unless we love them. By that love, we see potential in our beloved. Through that love, we allow our beloved to see that potential. Expressing that love, our beloved's potential comes true." OR: What things could have been like for the Murder Family if Hannibal and Will had their heads a little less far up their own asses and put their dicks up each other's instead.' Very intriguing fic, I have had to reason my way and find hidden meanings in sentences just as I did in the show. This fic is psychologically interesting. Hannibal reveals to Will that Abigail is alive several weeks earlier. The fic with the dubious consent after Hannibal being kidnapped by Mason and rescued by Abigail and Will. Very powerful use of words. Absolutely adore it. Jack is being psychologically abusive of Will and is driving him into the ground. Accurate spiral into melancholy/hallucinations/insanity. Dark!Will, dark!Abigail. Will is not a shaking stuttering mess all the time, but everything still happens so much. Hannibal is still a cold bastard. My second most favourite Hannibal fic. The sequel ends with Hannibal making a deal with Will: for every life Hannibal takes, he has to save someone else by going back to surgery. “Every time you take a life, you save another. I won’t ask who your victims are. I won’t stop you. A life for a life, that’s all.” Also, at the very end, Will loses his gift, I think, but I didn't read very carefully. I didn't read the sequel very thoroughly, so just focus on the first fic) 3. Paradiso by arts_and_letters ('“We are at a crossroads, you and I. You can go home and hope that I disappear, never to be heard from again. You could call Jack and hope that I turn myself in willingly, allowing you to return to your ready made family, while you spend the rest of your days pretending that all of this never happened. Or we could go away together, like I had intended—like we were always meant to do.” ' So. Very. Beautiful. Slow burn Hannigram. Not actually dark!Will, or at least, not as dark as it usually is in fics. Will's a bit less dark than he is in the show finale. Will makes a deal that Hannibal won't kill anyone unless Will agrees. I've always imagined that Hannigram would happen one of two ways: either it would be passionate and quick like a fire – the gasoline would be their bromance and the only thing needed to start a fire would be a spark, ie somebody finally making a move or something violent happening like in 'Kissing Families'; or it would flow steadily like a river: starting out slow but soon increasing until it was unstoppable. In this case, it is the latter, and this is the most beautiful slow burn I've ever seen. This is so exceptionally in-character – this feels like that's how the show would continue, if it was allowed to. This feels genuine and pure. This fic is elegant and exquisite without being unnecessarily long with descriptions – a rarity. Pure pleasure to read) 4. Fire Meet Gasoline by snaxo ('The dark desires of Will Graham's mind emerge long before the killing of Garrett Jacob Hobbs, and by the time he comes into contact with Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the suppressed cravings within him are more than ready to be ignited.' So very deliciously dark but not overly so, ie Will is not OOC, and his urges are a thing of pure beauty. Will is a fledgling killer who has not yet killed in cold blood, yet he is not a subordinate to Hannibal. They are equals. It's like an especially luscious cake. This contains everything I love about Hannibal, without being unnecessarily long) 5. The Miseducation of Abigail Hobbs by cavaleira ('In which the Murder Family stays together, and Abigail learns some valuable life lessons.' The one where Hannibal owns a vineyard, Will is a crime thriller writer, they have four dogs, and Abigail attends a university in Rome. They go hunting together as a family twice a year. I love the fic for its darkness but also for the fact that Will is not OOC and doesn't change – he merely unleashes his own darkness but does not compromise his own morals while doing so. They are all different but so very happy together. Stunning fic, beautiful and flowing writing, the one with Abigail assuming Will and Hannibal were a couple, and then Will and Hannibal discussing their relationship late at night. Very much worth the read. 'Abigail vividly remembers the photos she saw of happened to Randall Tier. That was the moment she realized that as dangerous as Hannibal is on his own, it pales in comparison to what he and Will could be together. She wonders what kind of monster she might become under their care.') 6. The Mongoose Hunts The Snake by Chi-chi-chimaera (gestalt1), gestalt1 ('You know William has those big green eyes and that floppy haircut and an obvious affection for dogs like a big old softie, but it turns out that he’s playing Hannibal just as hard as Hannibal’s playing him. That turnaround where it’s Will doing the string pulling and Hannibal only realizes it at that very last second… and can’t help but respect how clever it is.' Serial Killer!Will, dark!Will. It's like, this is a Will who is a killer but also very much in control of himself, someone who does not obsessively depend on Hannibal. It's light and pleasant. It's a quick read although the fic is certainly long enough. The ending is ambiguous but not vexatiously so. It's perfect. Will has every killer he has ever come in contact with at crime scenes in his head and can browse through their mentalities and emotions at a second's notice. It's truly gorgeous. This Will is my favourite Will. The courtship between him and Hannibal is short, yes, since Hannibal does not know Will is a killer, but the way Will is aware of exactly what it is Hannibal's trying to do and turns the tables on Hannibal each and every time... Magnificent) 7. Between Heartbeats by princesskay ('Is the universe pre-ordained? If it is, can we change it? If we could, how much chaos do we cause? Hannibal defies anything that calls Fate, and refuses to be ruled by anyone but himself. But perhaps knowing Will Graham was kismet. Falling in love ... that was unavoidable. He just has to persuade Will to truly see.' Holy shit, is it intimate! Pining!Hannibal. It's actually pure romance. The mutual pining, the 'Hannibal is completely besotted and Will doesn't know what he's feeling' kind of romance. Oh, and they are on the run but Hannibal's determined to turn this into a vacation. Hannibal has fallen so deeply for Will, in every sense of the word. The writing style is very painting and elegant, yet concise. There is a black terrier called Botticelli. A quick yet wonderful read. Sex doesn't really appear until chapter 8. It is exactly my kind of romance. Also, speaking of romance kinds, it's the 'flowing stream' kind of Hannigram – except here, it's more like the river has already been widened a lot but there is a dam stopping the water from flowing until Will admits his feelings for Hannibal) 8. Pattern Break by ThisBeautifulDrowning ('Will knew what had happened. He knew exactly how Abigail's ear had gotten into him, who had shoved it down his throat. He also knew that trying to indicate Hannibal as a killer again was futile. Jack seemed to want to believe him, going by the conversation in the BSHCI's visitor hall, but Jack needed something concrete, evidence. Hannibal had eluded capture for so long, he wasn't going to start leaving fingerprints or hairs at his crime scenes now. No, Will was going to deal with Hannibal Lecter on his own terms. The man deserved to reap what he'd so carefully sowed, didn't he? He deserved to experience what he'd coaxed forth from the bottom of Will's soul, to see the result of his machinations. -- After his release from the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Will doesn't return to work for the FBI.' Slash, angst, cannibalism, dark!Will, Hannibal&Will&Abigail. Psychological drama, snark. Murder husbands. Will is very possessive of Hannibal, and freakishly strong. Paedophile!Mason. Margot is 100% on Hannigram's side. Hannibal's hobby is raising baby psychopaths like orphaned ducklings. Will sometimes, if rarely, still went back to the FBI if the case was gruesome or interesting enough, despite being a serial killer. Jack dies from a heart attack in the last chapter. In their own ways, both Will and Hannibal grieve him. Nobody is vilified here. ' Jack or no Jack, life went on: Will had started writing, contributing articles to the forensic journals. Fiction, when the mood struck him. His books had a small but dedicated fanbase, who lauded his intimate insights into the minds of his protagonists, good or evil. He repaired boat motors and rescued dogs. Hannibal tended to his patients. Now and then, an FBI agent found themselves on their doorstep, asking advice. Now and then, Will agreed to consult, especially on cases in other states.' Baltimore: Murder Central, Psychopath Central. 'The end is probably a lot more anticlimactic than some people expected, but it had been the goal. The ultimate success for these incarnations of Hannibal and Will wouldn't have been to run away, to escape, but to remain right where they are: in Baltimore, smack under the nose of the FBI, as brazen as you please. If wishes were horses and all that, but that's what I would have loved to see on the show.' This fic took me on an amazing journey, and I have no regrets.

The Correlation of Salvation and Love by race-the-ace (My favourite Sastiel fic EVER. Better than Time of Angels. It's so cute and adorable, and angsty and h/c, and fluffy and sweet, and heart-breaking yet happy in the end.

Erik vaguely sauntered downstairs. Doctor Who references! Phone boxes! While there's no Terry Pratchett-esque dry sarcasm here, it's still one of the best Good Omens fanfics. Crowley's definition of 'bad deeds' being 'glue a coin to the ground and watch people try to pick it up'. The ducks from the pond being the actual best cameo. 'The man in the black suit had tried to shoo the ducklings insisting on sitting on his feet off, but was now apparently resigned to his fate. As was Dean. And so the minutes had passed, with one demon getting molested by ducks and one hunter by strange men in trenchcoats, waiting for whatever person said demon was trying to reach and somehow Dean couldn't help but think this was the worst monster hunt he had ever been on.' The Winchesters being 'a blessed exploding home improvement store' compared to a spanner in the works. Sherlock cameo with Mycroft being creepy. And more Doctor Who.

Poor Crowley. He has a crush on Dean, and he honestly just wants to be included, but Zira and Crowley, especially GO!Crowley, make him jealous. Castiel, who is in love with Sam, is jealous of Zira, with whom Sam can share his love of books. These are unique pairings, but they are so freaking interesting, and they have so many parallels that the author delights in going down, and it's great. GO!Crowley is just so damn likeable.

It’s a long time on (centuries maybe, though the boys don't age and the car doesn't rust) and the world’s much the same. There are still hunters, demons, angels, monsters, and the Winchesters. Their moral compass has become a bit skewed in that they still hunt and save people, but they aren’t willing to risk each other anymore. If Dean has to let Sam go again, like he did when he jumped into the Cage, in order to save the world, the world can fend for itself as far as he’s concerned. They're not evil though. They’re all that matters to one another, period. But, after all that time, Cage memories have irreparably altered Sam’s personality (think River from Firefly or a less evil Drusilla from Buffy) and his powers are permanently back.

Wonka/Charlie; This was the best introduction I could have gotten to the Willy Wonka fandom. A story of friendship, falling in love, family, discovering oneself, travelling and exploring new facets of the world, everyday life, and grief of a lost one. Also, Willy Wonka being Willy Wonka. Hurt and comfort, broken hearts [not Willy or Charlie though, humour, family. This Wonka is the best, in equal parts oblivious and adorable) 2.

Wonka/Charlie; teenage!Charlie; Charlie gets into a fight at school and Wonka is strangely turned on by that fact.

Elsa did not know who could be upon it, but was determined to meet with them. She could hear the whisper of magic on the air. “I am Moana of Motunui,” the woman said, “demigod and wayfarer. And I’ve heard there might be magic in these parts.”' Disney, Moana, Frozen, Elsa/Moana preslash, very good) How To Train Your Dragon (HTTYD): 1. Prodigal Son by commandocucumber ('Eight years after Berk's heir vanished, the Viking town is slowly crumbling. Dragon attacks are more devastating than ever. To save her village Astrid must piece together exactly what happened before the dragons wipe them all out for good. Meanwhile, half a world away and eight years wiser, Hiccup decides it might just be time to go home.' BAMF!Hiccup, BAMF!Fishlegs, BAMF!Astrid. Love the sheer research done to write this fic accurately. It is impressive. It is interesting to see Hiccup, who believes in the Norse myths, try to figure out all other religions and their beliefs, especially Christianity. And him trying to reconcile mathematics and science with religion is a gorgeous piece of work. It's such an intriguing fic, and so thought-provoking, It should be obligatory for everyone to read at least Hiccup's first chapters, since they are sometimes more wonderings and philosophy and clashing beliefs and science than actual fanfiction. The descriptions are simply beautiful. The pacing is just perfect – neither too slow nor too quick, highlighting the important events but also savouring the juicy details. Also raises problems in society and paradoxes. It is a rare talent to be able to write equally interesting points of view no matter which character it is. It goes something like this: you are curious about one thing and want to find out more, but then the scene ends and the POV changes and it HURTS because you want to find out more on the subject, until you start to read the next scene and find yourself equally drawn in to that scene, and it ends just as it is about to get really interesting, and it hurts again, but then you go back to the first POV you were reading before. Like in 'Space Jam' and 'Shadow of Vader'. Astrid gets stranded and reluctantly makes a truce with a dragon. They really, TRULY believe in their gods. Astrid's backstory is so well-thought-out and so perfect. A grim reality. Kind of dark!Astrid, or maybe grief-stricken!Astrid, though not because of Hiccup but because of her uncle Finn. Mentor!Astrid. An interesting idea of why Hiccup returns. He is not forced – rather, after studying philosophy, he realizes it is his moral responsibility to help the village. Hiccup executes a coup d'état. Very well-planned fic. The Emperor of Byzantine is really chill and young. Also, fucking evil. The betrayal is deep. The smith Hiccup worked for for close to a year, and the first half of the fic, was also a traitor to Alexandria. The burning of Alexandria was so sad. I've always considered it the single most wasteful and useless event in history, but this just drove the point home. characterisation is spot-on, the plot is as interesting as 'Space Jam' or 'Shadow of Vader', and I am fairly certain that at least half of this fic could be put in a philosophy book as obligatory reading. Fishlegs is basically Varys. Manipulative!Fishlegs. I am looking forward to seeing Hiccup manipulate all of Berk, including Fishlegs. Ostracized!Astrid. Mustread!) 2. The Dragon Queen of Berk by Raberba girl ('Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III can apparently befriend and train ANY dragon - even Drago Bludvist's Bewilderbeast.' Among other fics. This is one of the best collections of gen fics ever, and has the bonus of dragons having their own language) 3. Designated Driver by generalzoi (Astrid deals with a drunk!Toothless and a drunk!Ruffnut. Chaos ensues. http:///78188.html?thread=1353580) 4. Becoming Lífþrasir by Midoriko-sama ('People often wondered what kept Hiccup going during those early years. When that single, most-treasured thing is taken from him, there is little left to keep him on Berk. The day Stoick returns, and the day before the best recruit is finally chosen, Hiccup leaves Berk; little knowing that he would one day return.' That one where Hiccup returns as Cattongue, with heirs of the other islands of the archipelago, and saves Berk from the Red Death. Stoick treats Cattongue like crap. SO VERY WELL PLANNED OUT AND ANALYZED. Everything has a much deeper meaning than expected. A bit too much romance for my tastes, but still pretty brilliant. Mustread!) 5. ᴛʜᴇ ᴍʏᴛʜ ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ ʀɪᴅᴇʀ by melo'orukidea ('10 years ago a myth about a man who rides a Dragon was born, creating an unsettling feeling among the Vikings. But when a new part of the rumor arrives at Berk, Astrid and her group decide to go on a quest to find the truth behind this legend. What they didn't expect, however, was that they would find way more than what they were looking for.' Paragraph dividing could be better, and slight interpunction problems, but the plot more than makes up for it. Hiccup is half-dragon, half-human. Dragonborn!Hiccup) 6. Watching the movie by FrostyBerk 7. Finally Visible by Panda54 ('Jack meets Hiccup who ends up being the only mortal human in the world that can see him. What will this really mean to him?

For a Good Time, Call... by TheMomeRath ('Jack is bored. Very Bored. So, he decides to call the telephone number on the wall of the bathroom stall.

He was leaving anyway.' A coming-of-age tale. Deviates from movie. Borderline bromantic-comedy. Hiccup/OFC. Toothless speaks to Hiccup telepathically, but Toothless also speaks Dragon, so Hiccup kind of sort of knows Dragon. The Hiccup&Toothless relationship is the BEST. Nice-ish!Snotlout, jerk!Astrid, nice!Spitelout. Eldar Goethi is badass. BAMF!Goethi. Hiccup and Toothless were talking, and Toothless said that he would not survive long without Hiccup, and Hiccup says Toothless' tailfin will grow back eventually, and Toothless says that it was not what he was referring to. That kind of friendship is both awe-inspiring and tragic. Toothless talks about mind-control, and Toothless is so smart, it is quite frankly scary. Smart!Toothless. Gen, sarcasm, growing up, friendship, a bit of romance later on, humour) 16.

Observing the Past and Future by Vespersong ('Before the final exam, the village are transported to a strange place to watch their past and future. How does this end a centuries long war?' Though the two OCs are cliché, they are not all over the fic and let actual canonical characters speak, and the grammar is good, so if you're into the watching the movies kind of fics, read this one. Hiatus for now) 21. We're Happy Here by Ill Lasanga ('Hiccup and Astrid are at a certain point in their relationship…whether or not they go forward, is up to them.

The one where Miguel more or less confesses his love to Tulio, Tulio cannot deal with it because he is in denial about his own feelings, Miguel hides by his childhood home and is caught by his father, Roberto, who then threatens Tulio with disembowelment if Miguel does not stay.

Sins of Indiference by Quadrophenia (Aka, the deathbed reflections of Rowan Chase) 2. Conflicts by Naja Melanoleuca (Chase's custom of quietly taking care of House reminds me of Tony's habit of subtly taking care of Gibbs behind the scenes – paperwork, coffee, anger venting etc..

Good by alanwolfmoon (I not only love it for the House&Chase friendship and for being set post-series but in a Wilson-lives way, but also for the blatant NCIS reference.

Nothing new here. Been done to death.' No actual happy ending. Well, ish. A fitting happy ending, but not the one you hope for when you start reading this. Basically, Chase has been chosen by this demon to do grand things, and this demon makes sure Chase stays 'pure' – ie doesn't have sex – by killing everyone Chase shows even the remotest interest in. It will go on like that until Chase finds his soul mate. House is all over this and flirts a bit with Chase until the demon scares him into submission. Plot twist? House is not Chase's soulmate and when Chase finally flirts back with House to get him off his back, House is killed. Not a serial killer!Chase) 14.

Recognition by not_poignant ('Jack Frost, spirit of fun, winter and snow. Pitch Black, spirit of nightmares and fear. They couldn't possibly have anything in common, except, perhaps, the same desperation for recognition in a world all too willing to forget they exist.' Asexual!Jack, asexual!Pitch. A very believable portrayal of Pitch and Jack while still making it platonically Jack/Pitch. Good analysis on kids and their beliefs and fears; more human and relatable Pitch; very good description of a touch-starved and abandoned individual; and a myriad of other things that make this fic the absolute best in RotG) 2. Snowball by EstelleDusk ('Santa has his helpers, the elves and the yeti. Toothiana has her fairies. Sandy has sand shaped into dreams. Bunny has the eggs. How do they gain these helpers? Where do they come from? And where’s Jack’s helpers?') 3. Family Tree by flowerpower71 ('Based off a comic from DeviantART. Jack finds out that he and Jamie have something in common.') 4.

Canach-centric, friendship, gen, h/c, making up for past disasters) Ocean's Eleven: 1. Food for Thought by InSilva ('Danny, Rusty, ice-cream. Go and wash your minds out immediately.' Gen. No, seriously, this is very much gen. Lots of food though. Neat oneshot. Danny&Rusty friendship) 2. Play the Game Like You Have Nothing to Lose by dreamlittleyo ('In which Danny doesn't win Tess back, and Rusty suggests they find a new job to take his mind off things.' Danny/Rusty bromance then slash) NCIS: Funny: 1. You Grew On Me by Phoenix on cloud nine, FFN 2. NCIS Superfriends by tinlizzie82, livejournal 3.

Ten Nonlinear Moves by Sequitur, FFN (a stand-alone, but if you squint, it could be considered a sequel to the abovementioned fic. As hilarious as the above, if not more.) 5.

The Doctor has a run in with the local authorities, creates a paradox, and decides to keep handcuffs permanently away from Amy Pond.' Crossover with NCIS. The Doctor is arrested by NCIS and, being himself, obviously tells them that he is a time-travelling alien from another planet. Then Agents Amy Pond and Rory Williams from Interpol come to pick the Doctor up.. Aka, future!Amy and future!Rory, except it's a bit AU considering Amy and Rory's final fate. Brilliant oneshot, by the way) 15. Boss, What Boss? by Ytteb ('Gibbs goes on vacation and the team are reassigned in his absence. That's bound to go well.' Gen, funny, Gibbs&Tony, Tony&McGee, competent!Tony, sassy!McGee) Good: 1. Stepping In by Mooncat99, FFN (best NCIS fic. Ever!) 2.

Which of course, is how she ends up getting a job offer to work at NCIS.' Vampire!Tony, werewolf!Gibbs, Fae!Ducky, Golem!McGee [although I firmly stick to the belief that he is an android, human!Kate.

Until a certain Norfolk detective makes fun of Tony's favorite geek.' Tony/McGee) 12. The Alpha and Omega bygibbsandtonysbabe ('You're supposed to be a team, respect one another and always have each other's six. What if two team members disregard that protocol? One life hangs in the balance due to their arrogance and selfishness. A cover up and lies is all that they speak in their defense as their actions come to light. Tag to 'Dead Air'- what could have happened by the simple action of turning a switch.' Technically Tibbs, but it didn't feel like it belonged there, since the main focus here is the betrayal of McGee and Ziva) 13.

When they walk out, Gibbs says, "Pack your bags, DiNozzo -- you're going on a trip."' The one where Fornell takes Tony to a cabin and, as a 'vacation', has him work on cold cases. Tony is used as bait for a rogue NCIS agent who gets blackmail of Tony being with a guy [Kyle] and tries to then use it to have Tony hand him incriminating evidence. Doesn't work, obviously) 16. Style by copperbadge ('Dexter makes a friend.' Dexter crossover, serial killer!Tony DiNozzo) 17. Good Boy by copperbadge ('Tony needs Gibbs. Gibbs has his uses for Tony, too.' Serial killer!Tony DiNozzo) 18. Open Doors, and Other Invitations by shrift ('Despite all appearances to the contrary, Tony knew how to ignore things.

Bloodlust by Gaby, livejournal (Tony Turns Gibbs) I'd have suggested 'Nightfall' by demonqueen666, but I rather despise it. Don't get me wrong, it's a good fic, very well-written, but it's just not the Tony that I myself love and adore. Really good Tibbs: 1. Figuring It Out (the whole series) by Kesterpan, FFN & AO3 2.

The bet by Blackghost7, AO3 27. Imprinted by ellenscult ('A disturbing case brings to light something Tony and Gibbs would rather not face about themselves and reveals a dependence that neither of them is ready to acknowledge.' Tony and Gibbs are imprinted, which is something akin to being soul mates, and only being able to be even physically aroused by each other. Magnificent story, very much worth reading, kind of questions the free will of an individual) 28. Playing Human by takumiraine ('NCIS has a real vampire in its midst, and not the goth coffin sleeper Abby Sciuto, like everyone would expect.

Worthy 'Verse by Jaune_Chat ('When Tony Stark was dying in the desert, he was found worthy of Mjölnir instead of becoming Iron Man. Where Captain America was not a boy from Brooklyn but a girl from Brighton Beach, and the Black Widow could more accurately be called the Black Widower. Where Bruce Banner didn’t experiment on himself, but a volunteer soldier named Clint Barton. And when things go wrong, he won’t let his mistake ruin another’s life.' Different powers!AU. Worthy!Tony) 13. It's All in the Mind by inukagome15 ('Tony is 100% normal. Tony is not a mutant. Tony is Iron Man. Tony is an Avenger. Tony...is just fooling himself.'

It appeared on the day Tony Stark was kidnapped by the Ten Rings.' Sentient!JARVIS, Tony/JARVIS.

Pygmalion's Folly by IamShadow21 ('Tony Stark has never had to worry about his soulmate's character, or their compatibility, for a very good reason. He doesn't have one. His mind has always been alone.' He gets a degree in architecture just for kicks. Genius!Tony, ridiculously smart!Tony. Tony thinks more in binary and code than in English. Tony met Pepper when she was a delivery girl. Asexual!Tony from the looks of it. And the 'will that be all, Mr Stark?' thing, the origin is explained. Pepper is Tony's babysitter since ever since they can remember, since she was a delivery girl for his coffee and food. Wonderful Tony&Pepper friendship. Platonic Tony/JARVIS. Sentient!JARVIS) 16. Hieroglyphs on the Bleeding Edge by prairiecrow ('Tony's money can buy him anything — except a Soul Mark, and the ineffable Beloved that comes with it. His intelligence and his wealth have been cold consolation in the face of that conspicuous lack... but maybe all is not lost.' Soulmark culture, Tony/JARVIS, soulmate AU. The one in which everyone hears their soulmate as the voice inside their heads, and they have a soulmark on their right forearm, but Tony has no mark and hears only code until he builds JARVIS. Platonic Tony/JARVIS, genius!Tony, smart!Tony. Sentient!JARVIS) 17. It's Not Cosmetic by withasideofangst ('After Afghanistan and Iron Man, SHIELD gave Tony a choice. He could out himself as Iron Man, or claim it was a bodyguard, and hide his face from the world.Agent Agent never said anything, but Tony had hacked SHIELD's servers and knew they wanted him to go the bodyguard route. Yes to Iron Man and no to Tony Stark, and all that.That, as well as keeping Pepper safe, made him go with the bodyguard cover, and flimsy as he thought it was, no one questioned it.Of course, why would they? Tony Stark was no superhero.' Sentient!JARVIS. Superhero Tony, hidden identity, the whole shtick. The one with Tony having over ninety percent burn marks all over his body, and conceals them with advanced technology masks) 18. Shining Golden by teainthetardiswithloki (God!Tony, Tony/Loki, Frostiron. The one where Tony is the twin brother of Thanos, and a long-time friend of Odin's) 19. Blue As True As Blue Can Be by aaralyn ('Tony Stark has worked hard to make sure everyone sees exactly what he wants them to. After all, they'd all rather see the asshole with the too-bright smile than the terrified person underneath who is desperately trying to conceal that which has caused him so much pain. Trust him, he knows.(Tony Stark is a mutant, and his father had made sure to note /exactly/ how he felt about that. Now, with the Avengers living with him full-time, it's getting more and more difficult to hide the part of him that almost no one still alive knows about.)' Howard is a class-A jerk; child abuse and experimentation, mutant!Tony, mutant rights, Charles Xavier is awesome. Domestic Avengers family. Crossover with X-Men if that even counts) 20. Count to ten (and let go) by Sann ('Tony should have died a good twenty-eight times already, knows that normal bodies don't endure the way his does. He did the math, checked his DNA himself.' Dark fic. Dark!Howard, evil!Howard even. Immortal!Tony. Hurt!Tony, BAMF!Tony Stark, attempted suicide and murder, Tony-centric, Avengers-centric, misunderstandings, secrets. Tony is kind of messed up.) 21. Tony Stark: Appliance Whisperer by Alex51324 (technopathic!Tony; this would go with asexual!Tony when it comes to socializing with people. Misunderstandings) 22. Steady by pprfaith ('No one ever asks about Tony Stark's past. They should.' Immortal!Tony, immortal!Clint, probably Time Lord!Tony, implied Tony/Clint slash. Tony is literally ancient, and Clint is well over two hundred years old. They are two companions who stick together throughout eternity. Tony seems to be the Time Lord kind of immortal, except he regenerates into the same body but younger, and isn't limited to a specific number of regenerations. Clint is more of the vampire kind of immortal. Apparently a crossover with Highlander, although I have zero idea what that is. Elegant and concise oneshot) 23. дезинформация by Finely Honed (jaqen_hgar) ('Bucky had only known Anthony Edward Stark for a few hours before he found himself compelled to share a secret that had been eating him alive since he began to once again reclaim the right to his own thoughts and feelings. Post-Winter Soldier, Bucky is living with the Avengers, attempting to cope with his past, and falls in love with Tony Stark in the process of finding his way back to himself.' Sentient!JARVIS, Tony/Bucky, JARVIS&Bucky, oblivious!Tony. Tony can split his attention in so many directions that it is incredible. Genius!Tony, smart!Tony. Tony can speak Russian. Tony has a weird boner-thing for Bucky's arm and the technology involved. HYDRA tech is cool and fascinating. Title means 'misinformation') 24. A Future Shining by icarus_chained ('It took Tony a while to notice. To see the increasingly massive sections of memory space that someone had blocked off in JARVIS' systems, the processing power being diverted to something that ... that Tony couldn't breach. Tony, and JARVIS, and a conversation Tony never, ever thought he'd be having.' JARVIS is pregnant. Sentient!JARVIS. Tony is going to be a grandfather. Gen, truly amazingly wonderful fic) 25. Emergence by icarus_chained ('Sequel to A Future Shining. There is nothing so terrifying as the creation of a new life. JARVIS, Tony and the family in the run-up to the emergence of a new AI.' Their lives are not normal, not by any measure, and that's okay. 'Rhodey hadn't really met any in recent years, he hadn't had all that much contact with 'normal' himself, but he was pretty damn sure that this was a thing that only happened to Tony Stark.' JARVIS has a daughter. Sentient!JARVIS, Tony&JARVIS) 26. event horizon by Seneschal ('Some things can be taken back and made better. Others are like squeezing all of the toothpaste out of the tube. You can't put it back in again. This time, there's no going back.(Redemption is for men with the luxury to stop what they're doing and change their ways. Tony doesn't have that luxury.)' Gen, slight Tony/Steve if you squint and gorge your eyes out. Implied Coulson/Clint. Dark!Tony, evil!Tony ish, villain!Tony. Tony is not mindlessly evil – this is more the much darker version of the original Tony Stark. Tony has fucked up so much and killed Phil Coulson and the rest of the Avengers sans Steve. Oneshot, angst, self-hatred, hurt/no comfort. This is the very opposite of the fic above. Dark and creepy as fuck. Like the cannibal!Galadriel fic) 27. Disasster by esama ('In which Tony welcomes his (begrudging) AI overlord and Bucky somehow gets caught in the middle.' Sentient!JARVIS, sassy!JARVIS, so much it hurts. Bucky tries to assassinate Tony but JARVIS being JARVIS stops him, and teaches him acceptable social behaviour and psychology, and Tony builds Bucky an Iron Man suit. JARVIS is the Master to Bucky's Padawan, and kind of protective of him, too. Protective!JARVIS. JARVIS basically runs Tony's life, alongside Pepper. Tony and JARVIS are literally closer than brothers, friends, lovers, whatever. They are Merlin and Arthur, or Anakin and Obi-Wan. JARVIS is fully capable of taking over the world, and being painfully polite while doing so. BAMF!JARVIS, preslash) 28. Conversations by AllThoseOtherWorlds ('Tony knew it wasn't nice to touch other people's stuff, but he didn't think it was that big of a deal - all he'd done was pick Mjolnir up to examine her. He'd even asked her first!In which Tony can wield Mjolnir and doesn't know what that means.' Tony-centric. Insecure!Tony(ish). Tony wants to know what worthiness is and how it is defined. He also does not think that the core of a star is a realistic building material. Worthy!Tony) 29. The Godfather (or: Tony Stark is a Narcissist) by alphera ('Tony Stark is the self-imposed godfather of the Holmes brothers. Loki secretly approves. Written as part of a world where Loki is the Holmes' Mummy.' Godfather!Tony, Mummy Holmes!Loki, implied Thorki slash, crossover with Sherlock) 30. Of Liars’ Gifts, and Gifted Liars by Like_a_Hurricane ('A series of exchanges between a pair of talented showmen: mutual torment of a verbose nature, unexpected gifts, and the peculiar honesty of a pair of craftsmen proud of their own work, and willing to admit admiration of another’s. Also featuring: Loki talking his way out of incarceration, Tony Stark making reckless business decisions on a whim, and much much more.' BAMF!Loki, Tony/Loki. Loki is truly worried and protective of his home, and did it all for Asgard. Despite that, he is deliciously dark and morally ambiguous. Odin truly loves Loki, and I love their paternal bond. Golden apples. Rebuilding the Bifrost and producing elements. The golden apple made Tony immortal. 'S.H.I.E.L.D.’s records on the god of mischief declared him to be reformed, which was bullshit, really, in Tony’s opinion. Loki wasn’t reformed. He had just advanced and refined his art-form. What sort of trickster would he be, after all, if he couldn’t persuade people to trust him?' Two insane liars and benevolent loonies, one as indecent and daring as the other. Loki realizes that he's dark and broken and insane and probably a monster. A mustread) 31. Lone Gunman by Graceful_Storyteller ('Few people realise that Tony Stark is far more dangerous than Iron Man.' BAMF!Tony, dark!Tony) 32.

Assembling by Jaune_Chat ('The Avengers Initiative is assembling: The Thunderer - Tony Stark, Iron Man - Thor Odinsson, Captain America - Natasha Romanov, and The Black Widow(er) - Steve Rogers are being thrown together to go after one Clint Barton, who can become a rage monster known as the Hulk, and his bow-wielding protector, the radiation scientist Dr. Bruce Banner. Together these six people might just be able to save themselves and the world they've taken by storm.' Gen, different powers, Thor!Tony, Iron Man!Thor) 36. More Worthy Than Believed by LadyShadowphyre ('Nobody expects Tony Stark, genius billionaire playboy philanthropist, to be worthy of wielding Mjolnir, least of all Tony Stark himself. Mjolnir has its own ideas of who's worthy or not.' Gen, BAMF!Tony, Tony can lift Mjölnir) 37. Epiphany by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel ('The thing was, there were a lot of things Tony didn’t stop to think about, until they hit him upside the head. It wasn’t a lack of consideration for others, exactly; it definitely wasn’t stupidity. It was just that understanding people had kind of always been Tony’s biggest weakness (he was more of an ideas man than a people person), and sometimes, even though he tried, he didn’t always think about things from other people’s perspective as much as he should have. It had never occurred to him that JARVIS was one of those people.' Tony&JARVIS, JARVIS/Coulson, sentient!JARVIS, hilarious. 'JARVIS asked, very politely, which was sort of his way of being a dick.' Cute, adorable) 38. If You Had This Time Again by dls ('Tony Stark closed his eyes in a wrecked Siberian bunker and woke up on a demolished New York street. Four years earlier.'

Tony/Loki, BAMF!Tony, not Team Cap friendly, not a fix-it, brilliant) 40. Anew. by IViv ('In death, there was no glory, no redemption, no salvation. Only darkness and ice—or that’s what Tony thought. He closed his eyes in a Siberian bunker and opened them again on his 41st birthday, with War Machine flying into the distance.' Time travel, fix-it fic. Tony/Strange. Tony&JARVIS. Strange&FRIDAY. I love the way BAMF!Tony is written. I love the way Steve is written, because while I'm definitely not Team Cap (I'm more Team Cap There Are Consequences For Your Actions), there's no meed to vilify him and strip away his humanity, which this fic hasn't. I love Stephen, and the mix between the Avengers main timeline and the Dr Strange events. I love Bucky and his independence from everyone. In short, I love this whole fic. Loki&Thor, Tony&Loki, Tony is popular and manipulative and smart and uses his resources. The first Chitauri battle is in the desert, with Loki by their side. Tony meets Stephen early, before the accident and the magic. Mustread!) 41. Have I Changed? by katling ('"I liked you more before you met the Avengers." It's an offhand comment that Tony wasn't sure he was actually meant to hear. But he did and he doesn't know what it means. Lucky for him, Rhodey's got an answer for him.' Tony&JARVIS. Rhodey Approves of Strange so very much. Rhodey talks sense into Tony, how he let the Avengers walk all over him. There's an international investigation into Team Cap's actions. Hope is an Avenger. Tony&Vision,Tony&FRIDAY. The trust people had in Tony was the reason the Accords hadn't been created earlier. Natasha is caught by the Russians. 'As they watched, they realised it was less of a fight and more of a case of Wanda screeching and throwing a highly dangerous tantrum and Stephen fending off her attacks, while levitating dramatically and making snide insulting comments, and trying not to seem too bored.' Wanda locked Tony's memories of JARVIS' backups from him, but he got them back and restored JARVIS. Sentient!JARVIS. JARVIS&FRIDAY. The Odinson Family Drama. 'He’s… Loki. You can’t trust him for a minute but he seems less… take over the world and rule you all and more… let’s see how much mischief I can cause before Thor starts yelling at me and threatening to throw me off the ship.' Talking about Loki's mind control by Thanos thing. Tony/Strange are adorable. Scott gets off lightly. Analysis of how Rogers' sheltered upbringing brought about his reckless, self-righteous, and holier-than-thou attitude. Tony has a surgery that fixes his ribcage after Siberia, which melds the Extremis and the suit via nanotech, and his suit is partially a part of his skin now, in that he can call up on it. Tony literally BECOMES Iron Man. Tony can now connect to the internet and all of his tech in his head. BAMF!Tony. Tony is oblivious to first Stephen's flirting and then Loki's, and it's hilarious. Trial for Civil War. Mustread!) Great: 1. The Stark Diaries by Wordsplat - Iron Man/Princess Diaries crossover; has very well-thought-out plot and believable characters and motivations 2.

If only SHIELD would stop trying to track him down...and someone could explain what the hell was an 'Avenger' was supposed to be. Honestly, muggles...' Harry Potter crossover. Harry and Tony are so freaking similar, it is scary. Harry defies simple laws of physics. Loki and Harry are also strikingly similar. BAMF!Harry. Seriously, he is as badass as they come.

Safeguard by esama ('The Chitauri invasion launches a whole new age - for everyone.' Master of Death!Harry, MoD!Harry, sassy!Harry, immortal!Harry. Harry/JARVIS. Sassy!JARVIS, extremely sassy!Tony. Harry's explaining magic with science and quantum physics, and gives Tony headaches and overloads JARVIS' databases. JARVIS has a bit of a crush on Harry. Harry, for his part, is bloody amazed by a magical AI. Tony's mind is still blown away by what magic can do, which is basically almost anything including resurrecting the dead. Tony's also kind of terrified at the prospect of being a father to JARVIS. Technomancy, technomancer!Harry. The relationships are very sweet. Tony/Pepper. Harry Potter crossover) 4. Things and stuff by Donya ('Archive of Our Own au in which Loki is a fanfiction writer and Tony and Steve are his readers. Or, the ups and downs of being a part of this God-forsaken site.'

Misunderstandings and An Alien Invasion by Aytheria ('"A giant of a man wearing what looked like the American flag as some sort of armour was storming towards him from the ground.

Tony Stark is his usual ass, but is also hilarious. Harry gets adopted by a superhero team. Not sure when set in Harry's world. Seems like Fred is alive. Master of Death!Harry, MoD!Harry, BAMF!Harry, powerful!Harry. Crossover with Harry Potter and Supernatural) 7. Legal Alien by WhisperingDarkness ('Normal people didn't have to worry about this sort of thing when they go on a holiday.

I Hate Everything About You by thedevilchicken ('All systems go, meltdown averted, Bruce took off the cowl for the first time. He glared as Tony grinned. That became something of a running theme.' Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark are way too similar, both intellect-wise, and everything-wise. They are two sides of the same coin.

In which Tony hates magic, time travel, babysitting amnesiac assassins and being seventeen.' I didn't expect to actually like the story as much as I did. I only began reading it because it was a time travel Marvel fic with decent grammar but holy shit, it was actually good. Implied major character deaths. The flashbacks are the most interesting, because the more tidbits we get, the more morbid the future is: a superhuman Civil War, with the Avengers fighting among themselves. The Tony&Natasha friendship is the best. They really care about one another. Barnes killed Natasha later though. Didn't finish the fic. Tony/Bucky. It was basically the escalated plot of Civil War, except written five month before the premiere) 24. Distractions by Prentice ('Distracting. It's distracting, that's what it is. Very distracting.

Mutant!Tony, telekinesis, telekinetic!Tony, Tony/Steve, the series with the sentient stove) 34. Beautiful Minds by Jaune_Chat ('Tony and JARVIS were working on a way to let Tony mentally command the Iron Man armor. But they made a far different connection instead.' Very much sentient!JARVIS.

Monte Cristo Poem by just another weasley ('a summary of Alexander Dumas's "The Count of Monte Cristo".' Very good, bookverse) 19. Revelation by Lucifer2 ('What Mercedes told Albert before his duel with Edmond.' There's a sequel: Revelation 2, which is almost even better. The punctuation's a bit off, but the grammar is good and the plot and inner monologue is like honey. Bookverse) 20. Lies by Crystal7 ('Mercedes thoughts as she realizes that Monte Cristo lied to him and he truly is Edmond Dantes.' Movieverse) 21. Peace by Jess J ('Giving her one last glance, he realized he might never be able to sleep in a bed. At least now he could find peace in it.' Movieverse) 22.

Little Love by Crystal7 ('Mercedes thoughts as she realizes she is pregnant with Albert.' Movieverse, nice) 24. Ends Today by Crystal7 ('The missing scene where Edmund leaves Mercedes asleep and leaves to face off with Ferdnand. What happened that morning and what was he thinking?' Movieverse) 25. Didn't Know by Crystal7 ('Edmund's Thoughts as Mercedes reveals that Albert is his son. Based off of the 2002 movie. One shot. PG-13 for language, but it is a word that was in the movie.' Movieverse) 26. Changed by Crystal7 ('After Mondego's death, Albert contemplates his life, his parents, the man he believed was his father, and the huge decision that he now as to make.' Movieverse. Probably my favourite CoMC fic, with Albert contemplating Fernand and Monte Cristo and fatherhood. It is different from the movie and other fics because Albert does not instantly go 'OMG HE'S MY FATHER I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU'; rather, his sense of being the son of Edmond Dantès wars with his decade-long loyalty to Fernand Montego) 27. My Ring, My Past, My Edmond by PhantomProducer ('"I confessed I felt I knew him, from long ago...he replied he couldn't possibly be that man." In which Mercedes reflects upon her lost love, and how he continues to affect her life.' Movieverse. Mercédès' motivations are explained well here) 28.

It takes approximately two minutes before Uther decides that Merlin and Arthur are meant for each other and need to meet.') 32. The Play's the Thing (or, The Lady Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks) by Shinybug ('Arthur had to spare a thought to be impressed at how many slanderous and untrue things Merlin had managed to insert into such a brief statement: that Arthur liked to drink, and that when he did drink too much he had a tendency to inflict bodily harm upon his manservant, either in the form of beatings and/or possibly sodomy, and that chambermaids were more or less involved in these indiscretions.' In which the reader died of laughter) 33. Two For One by Greensilver (Trelkez) ('"Yes, fine, there's a lady in the lake and she has your sword."' Cannot decide on pairings, but it IS a rather adorable fic) 34. In a Hole in the Ground by LivetoDream333 ('Quinton Emrys and James Arthur Bond work for MI6 and it works out well... Except for when Merlin gets trapped and the only way out is magic...but MI6 is watching the exit. Arthur takes a moment to laugh at his favorite warlock.' Merlin!Q, Arthur!Bond, Bond crossover) 35. Truth be Told by Fallingtowardsoblivion ('It wasn't as though this was the first time Merlin had taken a spell for Arthur. Actually, it as around the 237th (though of course who here was counting?) and Merlin was getting pretty damn tired of jumping hither thither to protect the world's biggest ego. Only, this time was different, and after the pair manages to get hit with a truth spell, things just seem to go south... in all meanings of the term. Or, the one time Arthur actually didn't have a filter and his constant, inner monologue of sexual frustration rears its ugly head, and Merlin is a bit too into magical puns.' Truth spell, Merthur [pre]slash) 36. Two More Will Appear (Except We Never Cut Off The Head) by SilverRose42 ('“So wait, are you guys HYDRA too? ‘Cause you don’t look like HYDRA.” One of the boys twitched, and the other one finally burst out “You can’t be a part of a hydra! A hydra is it’s own being!” Nat froze for a moment. “Doesn’t hydra also refer to a being of Greek lore?” OR: The one in which there is much confusion about HYDRA, hydras, and no, that's a hologram, are you all stoned? And time travel is far too common for some people.' Massive crossover: Merlin, Avengers, Percy Jackson, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Supernatural, Hetalia, Sherlock. Am surprised the Doctor did not pop by. Demigod!Sherlock, son of Athena!Sherlock, demigod!John, son of Apollo!John) 37. Merlin: in which Arthur is a clot-pole prat, Merlin reveals his magic, Morgana has emotions, Uther is surprised, and weird shit happens by KillerLaurel (slight Merthur at the end. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this fic. On one hand, it is very well-written in some parts, and funny, and the grammar is excellent. On the other hand, though, the author has a thing for short sentences at the end of every single paragraph, and after two or three paragraphs, they more or less lose the intended dramatic effect. Arthur is very chill about Merlin and Morgana's magic. He just kind of rolls with the punches. Morgana is sassy and also a matchmaker. Morgana turns out to be good and is crowned Crown Princess. Gwaine is constantly hyper. Morgana is involved in a bar fight) 38. All Good Things In Moderation (Unless You're A Warlock!) by Tshirtgun ('When Merlin, Arthur, and the knights go to the tavern for some much-deserved R&R, they run into a problem - Merlin seems to be immune to mead.' Merlin & Arthur bromance, knight bonding. Drunk!Merlin, sober!Merlin, immune!Merlin) 39. Unexpected Knowledge by Peonywinx ('In which magic isn't the only talent Merlin possesses. Apparently the infamously clumsy servant-warlock also happens to be outrageously skilled with KNIVES, of all things.' BAMF!Merlin, knife-throwing. Lancelot is too noble to throw knives or some schmuck) 40. Dragon Knowledge by Peonywinx ('Otherwise known as 'The Dragonlord Dilemma'. In which the Round Table realises that Merlin is the last Dragonlord and there won't be any others. Ever. Given the resurgence of the dragon population, this poses a rather significant problem.' Merlin basically finds dragon eggs or they hatch, and baby dragons follow Merlin around, and it is the cutest thing ever. It's like big scaly puppies. Honestly, this just smells of asexual!Merlin. Merlin finally comes up with an idea – to trap a dragonlord's powers in a stone, a project which he has been working on since he realized he would be the last dragonlord, and that none would come after him. Possibly immortal!Merlin) 41. BEHEAD HIM by Myth Queen ('Uther's reaction to finding out about Merlin's magic, plus other revalations.' Morgana/Merlin, Arthur/Gwen. Crackfic, funny, pre-season 3) 42.

Lancelot is amazing at this denial thing. BAMF!Merlin. Bludgeoned, strangled, attacked, smothered, shot with glass, tossed out of a window, burned, whipped, stabbed, thrown down stairs, nearly drowned on dry land, and harpooned in the arm. Gwaine was making bets on whether Merlin had magic. Poor Sir Leon, getting into trouble) 45. Royal Obligations of Stupidity by Pineapple Bacardi ('Constantly getting kidnapped by bandits was just one of the many perks of being Court Sorcerer of Camelot.' Merthur slash. Morgana being badass and nice. BAMF!Merlin) 46. Merlin's Day Off by FromTheCouncilOfTimeWizards ('In which Merlin stops a sorcerer that the king and the knights couldn't. On his day off. While slightly drunk.' Not a reveal. Crackfic. BAMF!Merlin. Drunk!Merlin is the BEST) 47. Just Like the Word 'Escape' by Kitty O ('"Merlin, come out of that dungeon right now, or so help me I will place you under arrest!"' In which Merlin is kidnapped and Arthur, oblivious to the fact that Merlin is very capable of getting himself out of trouble, tries to rescue him. Merlin does not welcome his help. Gen) 48. Drunken Knights by Kiva Taliana ('Leon talks too much, Arthur can't hold his drink, Merlin's ears are assaulted, Gwaine learns more about being a knight and Lancelot gets stuck in the middle.' The one with the 16-year-old Leon kissing the 12-year old Gwen, and truth and dare) 49. You Just Can't Get the Staff by netgirly2k ('Arthur and Morgana swap servants, Uther is confused.' It almost works better when Merlin is Morgana's servant, and Gwen is Arthur's. Unfortunately, Uther does not see it that way. Funny, gen, nice!Morgana) 50. Your Cousin is Evil by Charged Lightning ('Sir Leon can't help but notice the uncomfortable exchanges between the new visitor and Merlin. It is time to bring this to Arthur's attention.' Gen. Post season 4. Crackfic. One-shot. Merlin is the Evil Black-clad Sorcerer Relative detector. Sabrina the Evil Witch because yeah) 51. Figures in the Night by Lazuli Quetzal ('Arthur is frustrated with the new trainees, but when he sees the expert knife-thrower out in the night, he's determined to find him.' BAMF!Merlin, gen) 52. Idiocy Revealed by Sydelle Rein ('n which Arthur realizes that maybe he's an idiot after all.' Kind of a reveal fic. Like, magic reveal, but not dragonlord reveal) 53. Dragonlord? by Volcanic Plug ('A dragon arrives unexpectedly and Merlin has some explaining to do...' Hilarious, Merlin explaining away the shit that happens, as usual. Like, 'What dragonlord, Arthur? I have no idea what you're talking about, are you sure you didn't hit your head again?') 54. Merlin's Best Friend by RicardianScholar Clark-Weasley ('Arthur, Gwaine and Lancelot fight over who has the honour of being Merlin's best friend.' Hint: it is actually Gwen) 55. Nothing Out Of The Ordinary by WinglessCrows ('"Now, it wasn't that the guards actually lied to the king when they said nothing had happened, no, that would be treason." In which the palace guards knows a whole lot more than they let on.' BAMF!Guards, guards being awesome because c'mon, sorcery and sneaking around is normal in Camelot. Gen) 56. But Sire by lilkyonkyon ('The knights and guards of Camelot are really bad at their jobs.' Crack!fic. The exact opposite of the fic above. Equally hilarious) 57. A Guide to Combating Magic by The Owl Mage ('I, Uther Pendragon, King of Camelot, present to you, a loyal Ally in the fight against magic, this guide. May you read it and put it's teachings to practice, so that our glorious lands will be free of the vile taint of magic.' Uther being Uther) 58. Selective Ignorance by Boudicca1 ('A sorcerer attacks Camelot again. Merlin stops him. He just wished that Arthur and his dad hadn't seen the whole thing.' Uther being nice. Uther is basically Giles) 59. Emrys' Residence by No.311 ('A new resident has set up shop in Camelot. Problem: This resident is a sorcerer, and is being particularly cheeky about it. So Uther sends Arthur to get the sorcerer out of his kingdom, preferably without his life.' Really funny, a bit of a crackfic. Gen) 60. Of Course Not by Princess_Alyra ('Merlin does magic. Merlin doesn't have magic. Elyan is confused. Pre-series four.' Funny kind of reveal!fics except everyone but Elyan knows and keeps the magic a secret from Uther, gen) 61. Prophecy Schmophecy by kriadydragon ('In which this is not slash or an mpreg but Uther hasn't gotten the message.' Gen, friendship, reveal!fic, crack, humour, Uther being insane.

Imagine what Uther would say.”' Light slash, slight crossover with Harry Potter, cute) 63. Hints of Gold by You_Light_The_Sky ('In which people keep trying to kill and/or kidnap Prince Arthur Pendragon and Merlin is the random bloke who ends up saving him every time.' Modern AU, reincarnation, crack, matchmaking, pre-slash and slash, incompetent villains, fluff) 64. Forming the Lines by alcove_words ('Merlin takes ill and is conflicted over Arthur, Arthur is conflicted over Merlin and hates considerate replacement servants, and the knights are helpful, thoughtful fellows.' Awesome knights, though not the Knights of the Round Table. Dry humour, hilarious, 'Even Sir Lamorak’s horse chewed less loudly on Sir Tristan’s cape.' http:///1649.html) 65. All Roads Lead to Home by Seagrass12 ('Arthur's never trusted magic, so no matter how great Gwaine thinks this friend is, he's not going to accept help from a sorcerer so easily. Au in which Merlin doesn't quite end up at Camelot the first time around but still ends up saving Arthur from magical beasts anyway.' Canon divergence from before the show. Merlin runs an inn, Gwaine takes his alcohol, no magic reveal!fic: they already know. It's so much more satisfying. Friendship, Courage&Strength&Magic Merlin&Arthur&Gwaine, neutral!Morgana, Merlin doesn't arrive in Camelot AU, friendship, gen, creature from the spirit world, mustread) 66. The Strongest Walls Are In Your Mind by NamelesslyNightlock ('Arthur’s not actually an idiot… but Merlin just might be. (Or the one in which Arthur has a plan but, as always, Merlin seems to be doing his best to totally ruin it.)' Humour, funny, hilarious, fluff, gen.

Secrets by Buffintruda ('Gwaine carries many secrets, some about himself and some about others. For instance, his ancestry and knowledge of Merlin’s magic. In which hidden things are uncovered and Morgana is behind all of it.' Noble!Gwaine, royal!Gwaine, Gwaine is Arthur's cousin, crack treated seriously basically, episode 4x07) 68. One Big Happy Family by Starts_with_a_D ('Gwaine's sister comes around for a visit. It's . . . complicated.' Gen, family angst, Gwaine&Morgause, Morgana&Morgause) 69. With Sufficient Thrust, Pigs Fly Just Fine by inktomi ('Merlin locks himself into a cell, sneaks out to defenestrate sorcerers and has magical parties to celebrate. Arthur takes a while to catch on.' Reveal fic, hilarious beyond words, gen, BAMF!Merlin, Arthur finds out) 70. Why Arthur Never Gets Drunk by Saphira424 ('Too many drinks to count later, and Arthur finds himself with a very illegal spell from a druid. Now armed with magic, Arthur begins the long journey of repealing the law. That, and Merlin can never know he has magic. The idiot is too terrified of it, and Arthur can't lose that support.' Magic!Arthur, Merlin&Arthur, reveal fic) 71. Camelot's Guards are Secretly Terrified by Drag0nst0rm ('Everyone says that the guards are incompetent. It's important to remember that everyone assumed Merlin was incompetent too. It's amazing what you can get away with if everyone assumes you can't do any better.' Camelot's Guards are Smarter Than You Think, BAMF!guards, humorous, mustread) 72. Chime by kurgaya ('"Wedding?" Arthur echoes, lifting up the pillow a fraction. "Who's getting married?"'

Good Ideas, Bad Ideas by Drag0nst0rm ('Sometimes Arthur has good ideas, like knighting common born men. Sometimes Arthur has not so good ideas, like sending Gwaine, Merlin, and Agravaine on a trip together. Gwaine could have told him from the start that this wasn't going to end well.'

There are consequences.' Merlin/Mordred, fluff, humour, Arthur doesn't approve) Excellent: 1.

No Drinks Allowed 4. The Cat Came Back (Uther finds out) 5. Observations of a King (Uther is amazing) 6. Someday Out Of The Blue by karuvapatta 7. Midnight Admissions 8. I'll Love You 'Till the Day I Die by Minn-Mani ('Gwaine notices something off about everyone's favorite manservant. When the knights catch him sneaking off, they decide to follow, determined to figure out what is wrong with Merlin. They learn a bit more than they bargained for.'

An Understanding by asilentherald ('A prince and a warlock with very different pasts but with similar inclinations – or, rather, lack of inclinations – find each other.' Asexual!Merlin, asexual!Arthur) 14. The Stuff of Legend by Xanthiae (Casstea) ('Arthur and Merlin are on the hunt for a rogue sorcerer. James, Sirius, Remus and Lily end up back in time through a door that shouldn't exist. Those who have been shunned by Uther's ban on magic have plotted their revenge, and are just waiting for their time to strike.' Time travel, Harry Potter crossover) 15. tiny cracks of light by helloearthlings ('“I’m the Doctor,” the man replied with a small, almost self-deprecating grin. “But I quite like the name Merlin. Maybe I’ll steal it. Surely that’s something I can do. After everything I’ve done, name-stealing is a barely noticeable transgression.”' Doctor!Merlin, crossover with Doctor Who) 16. Fresh Poison Each Week by lady_ragnell ('The Old Religion does not accept Ygraine Pendragon's death.' It does, however, accept Kilgharrah's death) 17. Don't Look Back by Princess Alyra ('Hundreds of lives in exchange for one? Maybe it would have been worth it. Maybe it wouldn't have. It doesn't matter that he didn't get the chance, because he wasn't going to do it. ...Was he?' Time travel. Merlin finds himself for a moment in times before the Great Purge, in King Uther's court, with Nimueh, Balinor, Uther, Ygraine, and Gaius) 18. Here we go again by Basil Allegri ('Merlin, middle-aged and Arthur's court sorcerer, gets himself stuck in the body of his nineteen-year-old self, and he finds that he'll have to relive his life if he's to have any chance of finding a way home. That doesn't mean he'll have to do things exactly as he remembers them.' One of the best Merlin fics I've read. Time travel. The one with the shadow universes and not real universes except at some point they do become real) 19. Through Thick and Thin by KaterinaRiley ('In which Cenred is Merlin's step-father, Uther isn't the bad guy this time, and Merlin really needs some TLC and hot tea. Arthur intends to give his friend just that.' Merlin still has magic, and Arthur still finds out about it. Referenced abuse by Cenred; one of the few fics wherein one really likes Uther) 20. Not Astounded By the Suns or the Moons by Emjayelle ('Arthur was eighteen when Merlin saved his life for the first time, and by the time he’s twenty, Arthur loves his brother as much as he loves his Kingdom, his planet, his own life.' Merlin is Arthur's brother, incest; Camelot is planet instead of a kingdom) 21. The Love That Binds Us by jelazakazone ('Arthur sends Merlin and Gwaine to invite the druids to celebrate Yule in Camelot, but they discover the druids have a problem they expect Emrys to help with, one that could potentially expose his magic to the world.' Gen. Amazing fic, with lovely Mordred, and a Merlin that doesn't behave like an ass towards Mordred. Gwaine is a bit OOC, but still weird enough to be quintessentially GWAINE. At the end of his visit with the druids, Merlin is hesitant to return to Camelot, since his magic is accepted in the druid camp. Gwaine convinces him to come back. Slight Merdred at the end. Sickfic. Sick!Mordred, guilty!Gilly) 22. Hidden Royalty by EssieScrawls ('Merlin hates everything regal because his mum does. But when Prince Arthur of England is going to the same uni as him, he changes those thoughts quickly and even develops feelings for him. He begins to wonder why his mum holds such a grudge against royalty. What he doesn't know is that his mum had a history with Balinor, the Mercian King, and he certainly doesn't know that he's the son of that same King.' Modern AU, prince!Merlin. My goodness. At the end of the fic, it no longer feels like a fanfic, but rather like a stand-alone story, all on its own. In the end, I struggled to remember that these characters come from BBC's Merlin, especially the nice Uther. The pacing is just perfect: neither too rushed, nor too prolonged. I expected cheesy conflicts, be it of characters or time tables, but there were none, which was very refreshing since those fics tend to get a bit cliché after a while. So much happens so quickly that it is hard to keep in mind that they have been dating for a week. Balinor's parents are close-minded psychopaths. I can understand Merlin's bitter and angry reaction after finding out he is a prince – what with how his mother behaved for eighteen years.) 23. Once and Future by Kiva Taliana ('A new king rides through a village and finds a mother and son somewhat fascinating. The developing relationships might be enough to change the course of the future, as Merlin becomes a prince and Hunith almost a queen.' Prince!Merlin) 24. Immediately, And Without Hesitation by Laree England ('Merlin faces execution from a stupid mistake, and Arthur goes to desperate measures to protect him. For Merlin and Arthur's epic bromance.' No slash, strong friendship. In which Merlin walks right into a super-secret meeting, which leads to Uther wanting to kill him, but Arthur says he wants to make him his most trusted advisor instead. Lots of bromance) 25. 5 Times Merlin Surprised People by sarajm ('Merlin is not the useless idiot that he is assumed to be. This collection will explore times when Merlin surprises people with skills they do not expect him to have.' For once, the visiting king is a kind and just man, caring for his elderly father.' For once, the visiting king is a kind and just man, caring for his elderly father. Chapter: kindness) 26. In Which Arthur Finds Out by 5337281 (who uses numbers of all things as a username, anyway? Okay, so this one has magic!Arthur... sorry for spoiling the ending) 27. The Conversation by CynicAlb ('Dragoon decides it's time for Arthur to know how much he's really done for Camelot. Reveal fic -sort of.' Merlin is a brilliant actor. Brilliant and concise fic) 28. Enchant Me by Aziexxx ('In the end, Morgana's army hadn't stood a chance. None of them had.' Dark!Merlin, angst, post-finale, alternative ending, BAMF!Merlin, angst, Merlin/Arthur, kind of love confessions, first kiss) 29. Second Chance by Allied Hero ('They say that magic is passed on through the genes, though the lineage has to start somewhere. And he is born of magic, after all.' Magic!Arthur, sorcerer!Arthur, Arthur has magic, gen) 30. Terror of the Magician Zephyrim ('It was just another execution of a warlock, it was just another mother trying to take revenge for her dead son...but what will Arthur do now that the witch's magic is inside him, fighting to be seen?' Magic!Arthur, wizard!Arthur, warlock!Arthur, Arthur has magic, gen) 31. Kingdom of the Magician by Zephyrim ('Arthur and Merlin must find and recruit both warriors and sorcerers to combat Morgause and protect Camelot but neither Morgause nor Camelot will make it easy. Now pursued by the ruthless knights who were called the most lethal during the Purge, Arthur has to fight a war on two fronts. It's a good thing Merlin is there, right?' Merlin has an evil alter ego, Emrys. Merlin keeps Emrys under control with the help of Arthur's magic. Lancelot becomes friends with Gwaine before Gwaine meets Merlin. Sequel to the above mentioned fic) 32. Fired by ROSSELLA1 ('The best day of Merlin's life was the day he got fired.' Friendship, gen, nomagic reveal, Arthur promotes Merlin to his Royal Companion so that Merlin can continue to be his friend) 33. 'Til the Day You Died by Fulgance ('Merlin never comes back from the Isle of the Blessed.' Death!fic. You know, I kept reading this fic and expecting Merlin to come to life, and it gave me a horrible feeling in my gut when I came to the end and Merlin was still. dead.) 34. Merlin Ambrosius, King of Carthis by clotpolesonly ('When Merlin discovers that his father was an estranged prince and he himself is now the only heir to the throne of a magical kingdom, he is forced to leave Camelot for the perils of a royal court. Will Merlin be able to win Arthur's favor again before Morgana launches an attack on a defenseless Camelot? Will he be able to defend his own kingdom at the same time or will all be lost?' 'To Be King' is part one. I know that it sounds like the fic is filled with lots of OCs and very little Merlin, but I would actually argue that this fic s the quintessence of what makes Merlin so awesome: deep friendship and bonds that are broken only to be reforged stronger, interesting characters, Merlin being an absolute BAMF while keeping it realistic and canonical. If you mind the 'travelling away' part, Merlin's gone maybe 30% of the time. Hunith is so badass, and Arthur's reaction is realistic and focuses on the relevant parts: at first on magic and oh fuck he's a sorcerer, but then he thinks for himself over the course of one night and comes to the realization that magic has all along been used to protect him. After that, he is angry about Merlin's lies but also comes to forgive him over Merlin's absence. All characters are kept very in-character, and I cannot stress enough how I love that Mordred went with Merlin and became a Mage of Carthis and accepted his magic, and Merlin comes to realize that he himself is causing Mordred's destiny to come true. and merlin was assertive without being bossy and overconfident. Aithusa is cute and adorable, in his simplicity and youthful vanity. Merlin's manservant Raime is also an amazing OC, and so is Mordred's girlfriend Lady-Mage Cecily and Gerund, the Foremost Mage of Carthis. And don't even get me started on Lord Ellison's redemption arc - from being one of the most hated characters, he became one of my absolute favourites. He's brave, smart, talented, strong, wise, and loves the people of Carthis more than anything. Mustread!) 35. Dragon Lord by Talis_Borne ('It was sure to happen eventually: Arthur would see something he wouldn’t overlook and Merlin couldn’t explain away. With Arthur’s sword at his throat, Merlin has to decide how much he can trust the Prince.' Arthur adjusts to everything very quickly and makes magic decisions and orders that are sane and good and sound, for once. And, for once, the explanation of why Merlin isn't attacking Camelot isn't about friendship, it's about destiny and how Merlin really fucking doesn't have a choice in the matter. Bromance, gen. Reveal!fic regarding the dragonlord thing. Uther being a judgemental and crazy jerk) 36. Family Tree by CeriseReve ('After defeating Cenred's forces and an army of the dead in the siege during the Tears of Uther Pendragon, Arthur has a traitor to identify, a city to rebuild, and—of course—a manservant to order around. All of which would be much easier to accomplish if Gaius would give him a straight answer about the magical staff found in the burial vaults, Merlin was not yanking Morgana into alcoves, and if Gwen would call him by his given name. When a druid insists on meeting with him, Arthur is forced to confront the fact that he cannot hide from magic.' Love Arthur's reaction to Merlin and Morgana' maic and to Morgana's betrayal. Love Arthur's POV in general. Kind of BAMF!Arthur. Also adore how everything comes together in a neat pattern at the end. Furthermore, the fact that Arthur thinks Merlin has a crush on Morgana or that they are together is the est thig every. Love Merlin and Morgana's frenmity here. Reveal!fic, mustread) 37. I Breathed a Song Into the Air by inkedinserendipity ('Ever since Uther ordered the charge on the Druid camp, forcing Morgana to return to Camelot and a life of suspicion and secrets, Merlin's been thinking. His magic should be used for good, right? How can he let Morgana suffer, thinking she's alone, when really, she's not?Both Gaius and the dragon down the stairs tell him to say nothing. But he's Merlin, so of course, he's not going to listen.' BAMF!Morgana. Love Merlin and Morgana's relationship here. Magic reveal, and for the best. Set during that time we all hoped Merlin would tell Morgana the truth and save her from herself. Reveal!fic) 38. Outside the Border by Fulgance ('In the aftermath of the confrontation with Kilgharrah, Merlin returns to Ealdor to tell his mother Balinor is dead. Arthur tails him.' Such a unique take on the reveal idea, and on Merthur. This is, to day, the only enjoyable and realistic and totally canon Merthur slash I've ever read, because here it is the emotions rather than the physical attraction that matter. the relationship is in such a big part spiritual and mental, it is simply beautiful and tear-inducing.the betrayal oh the betrayal. Amazing Merthur pre-slash, and so bitter oh so bitter and angsty and there is no comfort only hurt. The one with Merlin going back to Ealdor after Balinor dies, and Arthur following him and finding out everything and still wanting Merlin and Merlin being basically in love with Arthur. Reveal!fic) 39. Apotheosis by Fulgance ('"So it's true, then," Arthur said flatly. "You're a sorcerer."' A gorgeous piece of Merthur pre-slash. Actual prophecy. wow. also a very good one. Also that girl Lucia who reveals basically everything, and King Bayard's visit from Mercia. Reveal!fic) 40. Empires Gleam by alacrity ('Two years after Arthur's death, Merlin goes back to the beginning to save them all, whatever the cost. (AKA the great, big, wish-fulfilling, post-finale, fuck-it-fix-everything rewrite you always wanted.)' Gen but also pre-slash, pining, happy stuff. At first, I couldn't understand why Merlin would choose to abandon his future to go back, why he would leave a prosperous Camelot to go back just for Arthur, why he would risk it all – but a conquered, defeated, utterly destroyed Camelot with no friends left... now that is a different matter entirely. Smart!Merlin, smart!Arthur, nice!Arthur, clever!Morgana. The sarcasm levels are astounding. Gaius keeps the enchanted statue dog, who hates Merlin. Time travel, brilliant, Merthur pre-slash Mustread) 41. Weighty and Troublesome Things by Skitz_phenom ('Post-canon AU / Canon AU from S2. It's been ten years since Arthur drifted away from him on the Lake of Avalon, but even inside Camelot's walls, Merlin is still lost. Hiding from those who know him and cut off from his former life in self-imposed exile, he can't resist the temptation when a mysterious stranger offers him the chance to set things right. Merlin returns to the past, to an innocent, simpler time, armed with the knowledge of Arthur's fate. He knows the odds (and the stubborn people - Arthur in particular) are stacked against him and the obstacles he must overcome seem insurmountable. Can destiny be nudged enough to save Arthur's life, and is the price too high?' In one word: yes. Merlin traded his own happiness for Arthur's destiny to become a great king. And Arthur, without fulfilling his Once and Future King destiny, will never rise again, while Merlin will still be immortal. That is the price Merlin has to pay for his own hubris and selfishness. Truly heartbreaking in true Merlin fashion. Love the plot twist at the end, and how the ending ties so seamlessly back to the beginning. Presumably asexual!Percival. Time travel, painful Merthur slash and pining. Merlin is banished from Camelot by Arthur who feels to betrayed to speak to Merlin again. Uther legalizes magic after Morgana reveals her magic. Good!Morgana, light!Morgana, ghost!Ygraine, Morgana and Arthur kill Morgause. This is as dark as the fic above is light. Ambiguous ending. Like, this is the very definition of an ambiguous ending.

And within that glance, Merlin shows Morgana all that she lost and all that she forged and all that he saw and knew. When Merlin and Arthur walked away, Morgana still had not yet given her last breath. So she cast a spell and went to her brother. No mortal blade could fell her. As such, a magical one, though it would have its way, would have a difficult time as well. It gave her all the time she needed. She goes back in time to have a little talk with her brother.' Time travel, gen. Morgana goes back ten years and shows Arthur her and Merlin's memories, later also giving him an ultimatum: either destroy every single magic user or save every single magic user. She doesn't care which he chooses, she just wants him to make up his own mind. Dark!Morgana but also so very wonderful and satisfying to read, because this is also the old Morgana talking, the champion of justice and equality, but jaded by her experiences and fears. Arthur does the right thing. Oneshot, kind of reveal!fic of everything, mustread!) 43. Do Not Go Gentle by kianspo ('Sometime around the end of the eighteenth century, he starts using his name again.Post-finale future fic, reincarnation.'

He has one summer to decide whether he can accept the Disir's demands. And magic has one summer to win the favour of Camelot's King.' So freaking amazing. This fic takes all the good parts of a reveal!fic, and works around all the plot holes. Arthur's reactions are realistic and feel geniune, and Dragoon is such a lovely and likeable character all on his own, as is the Dolma. The Disir are fair, and Mordred is healed. Mordred's fate is acknowledged to be Merlin and Arthur's fault rather than Mordred, and Mordred's evil fate is avoided because Arthur makes the right choice. The writing style is wonderful and the pictures that represent each POV are great. The wording is a bit complex, but like in Hannibal fics, you just have to figure out what they are actually trying to say rather than what they say. BAMF!Merlin, Morgana is acknowledged as a worthy and powerful foe, and her motivations are discussed. Arthur finds out the sorcerers' POV. Alator makes an appearance, and so does Iseldir.

My Funny Valentine by schweet_heart ('The day Arthur wakes up to find a dragon on his bedside table is memorable, to say the least. Mostly because it starts with the bed-hangings catching fire and ends with a half-naked foot chase through the castle corridors, in pursuit of a tiny winged beast about the size of his fist which nevertheless appears afflicted by a supremely persistent brand of pyromania. Or: strange and magical gifts keep turning up in Arthur's chambers, a week from Valentine's Day. This sort of thing tends to happen to him a lot, actually.' Merlin's magic keeps conjuring gifts for Arthur: small pet dragons, butterflies, a huge tree in the middle of his bedroom, a pot of aromatic bruise balm. Also the dragon is called Seolfor.

Veritas by Uniasus ('When the knights are trapped by a sorceress who makes a living selling secrets, Merlin's splits their loyalty. What ties are stronger - oaths or friendship?' BAMF!Merlin, truth spells. This one is so very awesome, and I loved reading every word of it.

The Time Tried our Souls, and Through the Darkness we Overcame by mollrach13 ('Merlin goes through a lot of trauma and has gotten very used to hiding it, moving on (or at least appearing to), and coping silently and without anyone noticing, because most of the time no one can know something happened.

Gen, dragonlord!Merlin, magic reveal, dragonlord reveal, h/c, friendship, they're in love but they can't be together, angst, brilliant) 98. The Heart of Camelot by Clea2011 ('At the end of 'The Death Song of Uther Pendragon' what if Arthur heard the exchange between his father's ghost and Merlin? What would Arthur do?' Magic reveal, Merthur, the one where Arthur doesn't think that Merlin trusts him but Merlin shows up in the middle of the night doing magic and shows that yes he does, very well-written) 99. Merlin Season 6 by MonJoh ('What would have happened after Merlin's magic reveal to Arthur if the battle was not at Camlaan and Mordred did not wield the sword that felled King Arthur (i.e. he did not die yet)? This story begins roughly where Diamond of the Day Part 1 leaves off and continues the adventures of the characters we know and love from the show. Arthur has to decide if he still believes magic is evil, and if he can continue to be a friend to someone who has lied to him. Merlin has to balance reality with his hopes for the future and his destiny. Everyone else just wants to support their friends, and might have to decide for themselves how they feel about sorcerers.' The one with Morgana imprisoned in the magical cage cell. The transition from suspicious!Arthur to accepting!Arthur and supportive!Arthur was so smooth that I didn't notice it until it was over. Merlin thinks that the Teine Diaga is responsible for Morgana’s madness. The time skips don't always make sense but you get used to them. Morgana has been under the same enchantment, by Morgause, as she placed Gwen under. Gwaine died in the final battle in this fic. Still a sad ending: Arthur dies in the final battle, as does Mordred, I think, but they do not kill each other. The threat of the Saxons is constantly over their heads. Mordred redemption arc, Morgana redemption arc. Arthur's destiny is to be killed and thrown into the Lake of Avalon. Merlin goes to reunite with his father and the rest of the magic spirits in the Crystal Cave. Technically, this fic has the same objective ending that canon does: Arthur, Gwaine, and Mordred die. Yet, this one feels so much more satisfying. The whole accepting arc made it all worth it. Still if you want a happy fic, stop reading once you get to Gaius' gravestone. Gen, Merlin&Arthur, fix-it, magic reveal. Mustread) 100. Practice Makes Perfect by platonic_boner ('When Arthur finds out Merlin has magic, he makes Merlin train him how to fight against sorcery. It’s all going perfectly fine until Arthur decides he wants to build up a tolerance to love potions.'

The Missing Piece by TheHiddenMemory ('An alternate ending to the finale (5x13) in which a certain main character isn't killed before his time. Arthur and Merlin take the first step in rekindling their friendship after the reveal of Merlin's magic. Maybe things wouldn't have to change quite as much as Arthur had originally thought, and, perhaps, that which did change wasn't necessarily for the worse. No slash.' Gen, Merlin&Arthur, the one where Arthur continues to be suspicious of Merlin because he feels like he doesn't understand him and maybe never has known the true him, and follows him through the woods at night one night, and watches him make butterflies and amber/ash dragons and call them to life, and Arthur realizes the extent of Merlin's power but also realizes that Merlin is a pure cinnamon roll, 5x13 fix-it, cute, fluff, h/c, friendship, mustread) 102. The Origins of the Hat by Drag0nst0rm ('After Merlin's magic is revealed, a lot of things change. Laws are lifted, magic becomes commonplace, and Merlin gets a hat. A lot of things change over the centuries, but he keeps the hat.' Somewhat sad, as Arthur dies eventually. 'He died a month later. The hat was the last present he ever gave Merlin.' Fix-it but satisfactory, happy AU, brilliant) 103. Take Me Up by Val_Creative ('Excalibur acts like Thor's Hammer - only for the worthy. Magic prevents others from grasping it.' Gen, the knights can't lift it but Merlin can, Merlin&Arthur, BAMF!Merlin, humour, fluff, neat, funny, Mjölnir!Excalibur, Mjolnir!Excalibur) 104. Once More, With Sense by Drag0nst0rm ('Scenes from an AU in which Morgana is Gorlois's biological daughter and subsequently has no magic.

BAMF!Morgana, protective!Morgana, good!Morgana, In Which Morgana Has No Magic, character analysis, Morgana/Gwaine, Merlin&Morgana&Gwaine, Merlin&Gwaine, very well-done) 105. Darkest Before the Dawn by RocknVaughn ('When the King of Camelot is mortally wounded on the anniversary of the Prince's birth, a distraught and desperate Arthur is willing to try anything to save his father's life: even magic. For years, Merlin has ached to tell Arthur the truth; has yearned for Arthur to see him--and accept him--as he really is. Yet, something has always held him back, until now. For there is nothing that Merlin would not do for Arthur...even if if that something is revealing himself as a sorcerer in order to try to save Uther. But the consequences of these actions turn out to be more far-reaching than anyone expects, and it isn't long before everything goes terribly, horribly pear-shaped.' BAMF!Merlin&Arthur, gen, Merlin heals Uther, Uther throws Merlin into the dungeos, Arthur helps Merlin escape, and they escape together with Gwaine, magic reveal fic, Uther awakens and accuses Merlin of sorcery, Arthur and Merlin escape, slash, Merthur, magical artifacts, BAMF!Merlin, magic reveal, very well-written) 106. A Life of Arthurian Characters by Songbird's Desk ('Uther just stated that his life was rather odd and filled with Arthurian characters and that he was glad he didn’t have the Great Dragon chained up underneath the house. Mind you, he didn't know about his son's car that had been named 'Great Dragon'.' Modern AU, good!Uther) 107. The Things He Does by All-About-That-Ace ('In which Uther encounters enchanted!Arthur before Merlin does.

The World Will Go On Turning by ARTmeg ('Arthur is dead and Merlin is left alone beside the lake. When most of his remaining friends come for him, will they be able to accept him once they know the truth about everything?' Emotional h/c, angst, hurt no comfort. This fic made me realize just why Merlin would have found it painful to go back to Camelot after Arthur's death: to have a friend as close as Arthur and Merlin were, and for the friend to die, and to be forced to go back to the place that reminded you of them, and to be assaulted with each step with bittersweet memories that served to remind you that you friend was never coming back… I can understand why Merlin left, and support him in leaving) 110. Only Friend by CaptainOzone ('What if Arthur went after Merlin in the tunnels outside of Ealdor earlier? What would he think of the confrontation between him and Agravaine? And how will he deal with the revelation as they retake Camelot?' BAMF!Merlin. Arthur followed Merlin and watched his confrontation with Agravaine. Merlin is as much an important part of the Arthur and Gwen relationship as Arthur and Gwen are, although in a platonic sense. There's no Arthur without Merlin, or Gwen without Merlin, and it's a Merlin&Arthur&Gwen, Arthur/Gwen. Even when Arthur is supposed to be thinking about Gwen, he's thinking about Merlin, and damnit if that isn't a perfect portrayal of their canon relationship. '"I feel as though I know everything about you. And yet nothing at all." "Perhaps we should start over then?" "Why would I want that? I wouldn't have missed it for the world."'

Forged in Fire by BWNR43 ('It was inevitable, that Merlin would be discovered. Gaius' warnings were no match to his desire to save Arthur's life, even at the expense of his own.

Counsellor by Gawd Complex ('Arthur wants to know why Merlin and Mordred can't seem to get along and inadvertedly sets something in motion.' Merlin is Court Sorcerer even in the first part. The Merlin&Mordred friendship in the sequel is the greatest thing since baguettes. Merlin&Arthur, gen, post-magic reveal, peace and quiet in Camelot, guidelines for how Merlin&Mordred should be written, Arthur is bothered by the fact that M&M keep talking to each other telepathically, mustread!) 118. Omnia Mutantur, Nihil Interit by quakingaspen ('Arthur wants answers. Mordred wants acceptance. Merlin just wants to keep everyone safe. Meanwhile, Camelot receives news of dragon attacks, and Arthur's promise to protect the Druids is put to the test. Arthur's mind is slowly changing, but when betrayal is revealed, can Arthur put aside his prejudices? Or will the destiny that Merlin and Mordred have been waiting for crumble?' Good!Mordred, compassionate Mordred, I just want to hug this Mordred. Leon is very accepting and compassionate and so very knightly and noble. Merlin&Mordred's friendship here is lovely. Mordred defends Merlin against Arthur. Somewhat smutty in one place, but easily skippable. BAMF!Merlin, BAMF!Mordred, brilliant) 119. Elf-Boy and Turniphead Save Christmas by eilonwy77, Pelydryn ('Three weeks before Merlin's eleventh Christmas, he is introduced to the thirteen-year old Arthur Pendragon, Prince of Camelot and eventual heir to the throne of all Albion. As far as early Christmas presents go, it is a tremendous disappointment. When Merlin's mum is hired as royal governess by a magic-hating king, Merlin is not happy. Sharing Christmas with a turniphead of a prince does nothing to help his holiday spirit. And he had been so good this year. . . .' Nice!Uther, Uther tries to lift the ban on magic for Morgana, and gives Merlin immunity. 'Mum looked as happy as he had ever seen her, and even the king looked more like a doting uncle than a fearsome regent. Young!Merlin, young!Arthur, modern AU, very well-written) 120. The Booth in the Corner by ambrosius ('When Merlin befriends the lonely man he always sees in the morning at his local coffee shop, the last thing he expects to happen is to fall for him. Let alone find out the man is actually Arthur Pendragon, the Prince of Wales.' Modern AU, Merthur, coffee shop AU, prince!Arthur, royal!Arthur, secret identity, identity reveal, very well-written) 121. For the love of...Camelot by AngstandPizzaRolls ('Arthur was just waiting for his manservant to crack, to show some measure of disloyalty but, besides the occasional grumbling and his inability to address Arthur with the proper title, he was…not a model servant because he was still crap, but he was just as good as he had always been. Arthur wondered how long it would take his magic to corrupt him. or, in which Arthur finds out about Merlin's magic in his battle against Cornelius Sigan in s02e01 and has to come to terms with the fact that Merlin is a sorcerer.' Everything spirals out of control after Catrina. Magic revealed, Arthur finds out, Merthur, sweet, Uther falls in love with Catrina, who kills him, and the people think Arthur is dead, and Morgana finds out that she has magic and is Uther's daughter, and takes control of Camelot after Uther dies, and tries to kill Arthur but Merlin stops her, eventual happy ending, very well-written) 122.

Follows the journey of Merlin and Mordred's progressing relationship: from unwilling acquaintances, to unlikely friends, to... something more?' This story is quite sweet. It has a 5x13 fix-it, with Merlin/Mordred. At times, it's OOC, but it's just so damn fluffy and happy. Merlin and Mordred end up taking care of Aithusa after Morgana has been killed, Mordred fakes his and Arthur's deaths at Camlaan. Merlin and Mordred get married in the end) Good reveal!fics: 1. Follow The Leader 2. Dragonlord Discovered (sequel: Emrys Discovered) 3. Only Friend 4. Stalkers (and two AU's) 5. Question of Motives (maaaany long sequels so do expect to be stuck with this for about a week straight) 6. Full of Surprises 7. Aithusa (I particularly loved the BAMF!Aggravaine, he was just awesome there) 8. The Son of a Sorcerer (motherfic to 'Honesty is the Best Policy') 9. The Cat Came Back (Uther's totally lovely there. Go Uther!) 10. Am prionnsa, an t-amadan agus na meirlich 11. How They Find Out by LilacSky128 (Gwaine's levels of sarcasm are unparallelled, and Merlin seems to feel the constant need to state the obvious) 12. Of Course Not by Princess Alyra (featuring a confused Elyan) 13. The Perfect Scry DisaLanglois 14. If I could Turn Back Time by LFB72 ('"If you knew something bad was going to happen, wouldn't you try and stop it?" Merlin makes a final attempt to save his king.' Time travel, immortal!Merlin) 15. What Goes Around by MoonMargaret ('Everyone expects Merlin's secret to come out in the heat of battle or saving Camelot. What if it happens on the most normal of days? And what if that makes it worse than it ever could've been?' The one in which Merlin creates a ring of fire to be able to talk to Arthur without interference, Arthur imprisons Merlin and visits him seven times during a month, and Arthur finally banishes Merlin from Camelot, and that's seriously how the fic ends.

The one where Arthur has been enchanted to act the opposite of what he is feeling, so he abuses Merlin heavily and nearly kills him, causing Merlin to reveal his magic to everyone.

And then, there is that one time, where the truth just happens to fall into his lap.') 18. Little Things (In My Eyes and In Yours) by Kiromenanz ('in which Merlin thinks he understands everything but is really the most oblivious idiot of all. Also, there is angsting and promises (some of them broken), noisy knights, conversations and entirely too many secrets to keep track of.') 19. To Be Shared by JessieJay13 ('He didn't know how long he held this connection, pouring his magic into Arthur's body and soul, but when he next looked down, Arthur's wound was completely gone. Finally, gasping, Merlin wrenched his hands away from Arthur, whose eyes flew open. They were glowing gold.' Magic!Arthur, for a while. Wonderful bonding between Merlin, Arthur, and the knights. Merlin is the glue that holds them together. They shared souls, quite literally. Kilgharrah finds this disproportionately amusing, while Morgana and Morgause get what was coming to them) 20. Emrys The Immortal by Thornsword ('Oh, what a surprise - Arthur and the Knights Of The Round Table have been captured by a sorcerer… but Merlin may find out something about himself that he never wanted to know.'

But when Caerleon's champion is revealed to be a powerful sorceress, Merlin must once again take on the guise of Emrys to fight for Camelot, and find out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for his friends.' In which Merlin duels as Emrys, and is revealed to be Merlin, and dies but comes back to life because duh, he's kind of immortal) 23. Mordred Revealed by thek9kid (Mordred reveal fic. This one is an odd one out, seeing as in it, it is Mordred's magic, rather than Merlin's, that is revealed to the knights. The knights are confused and angry at first, then supportive. Mordred/Percival preslash) 24. Mark of Royalty by WhiteKingdomAngel (prince!Merlin, royal!Merlin, reveal!fic, the one with the Beast and the tyrant attacking Merlin's kingdom. You know, the really good fic) 25. The Afterfall by Baje Barra ('Gwen and Merlin still have a kingdom to rule.' Post-5x13. Gen. Sad. Everybody's deceptively polite, but underneath, they are broken, from betrayals, from Morgana, from the lies, from the losses they have suffered, and they no longer trust each other. Gwen becomes a dragonlord. The magic will disappear) 26. Dragon's Breath by Khentkawes ('Merlin can't save Arthur on his own; only magic as ancient as the dragons themselves can save him. But when Arthur survives, destiny shifts and realigns, and not everyone is pleased with the change. Merlin and Arthur face an uncertain future and the twists and turns of destiny. Spoilers for 5x13, but goes AU from the finale onward.' Post-5x13, happy fic. Kilgharrah sacrifices himself so that Arthur will live, as thanks for all that Merlin has done. Percival was hesitant and cautious about Merlin's magic, Leon was totally chill with it, but Gwaine was in denial and then angry and betrayed and said Merlin wasn't his friend. Gwaine, of all people, to react badly. Seems to be permanent WIP) 27. A Knightly Surprise by DragonReader99 ('The round table knights have been away on patrol for two months. In that time, Merlin's magic has been revealed to Arthur back in Camelot along with those of a non-evil Mordred. Now the knights have returned to Camelot, and Merlin must intentionally reveal his magic for the first time. Of course, Morgana begins to stir up trouble at the same time. Mid-season 5. AU. Magic Reveal' Pleasant story. Rapid pacing. The council meeting was on day A, but was rescheduled in the middle of the meeting to day B, only to once again be rescheduled mid-meeting to day C due to attempted assassination of Arthur. In whcih Leon doesn't believe that Camelot's security SUCKS, so Arthur says he and Merlin have to escape from the dungeons. He then makes it a drill and a fun game. Hilarious. Nice weaving in of Sir Galahad. Merlin explains everything, including the small things, and GWEN'S BANISHMENT. Do you know how rare that is?) 28. Midnight Admissions by ElvisRose ('After they save Gwen from Morgana's curse Merlin sneaks out to a familiar lake. Arthur and friends follow and overhear somethings that will drastically change the way they view their friend.' Brilliant, one of my favourite revealfics. Gen) 29.

It doesn't go anything like what he expected. Because Arthur's right - Merlin is a terrible secret-keeper.' BAMF!Arthur. Basically everybody knew, except that Merlin was oblivious to it. So it wasn't much so much a magic reveal as an you-are-terrible-at-keeping-secrets reveal, which, again, isn't much of a reveal. Hilarious, humour) 31. Extraordinary Knowledge by Peonywinx ('In which the issue of Emrys comes up, and Arthur addresses a particularly annoying habit of Merlin's. Sometimes 'all-powerful' really means 'secretive', and sometimes 'idiot' really means 'Merlin'.' Reveal fic to Camelot, and to Morgana. Emrys reveal to knights, Gwen, and Arthur. Humour) 32.

The last few who have saved Arthur's lives but didn't become his manservants were either women or dead. Now, another guy saves Arthur's life, and Uther makes him Arthur's servant. Hilarity ensues as Arthur still treats Merlin as his friend/servant. http:///somethingquitespecial.html) 34. Turn left by Alethia II ('"So what should we do? Accept magic? Or let Mordred die?" Arthur rarely saw tears in Merlin's eyes. In fact, he could say with certainty that he cried more than his manservant. It was obvious that his plea for advice on this issue was causing some sort of inner conflict for his friend. But the question was why?' All the characters are really chill about magic, and are actually prioritizing the important things. Gen, Mordred is wonderful) 35. Emrys by Valkyriexx ('"Morgana is searching for a powerful sorcerer; a Warlock by the name of Emrys. It is imperative we find him first."'

He plans to overthrow Uther but Uther almost executes him for 'going against the crown' and planning on legalizing magic, and Arthur knights Merlin, Gwen, Leon, Elyan, Percival, Gwaine, Lancelot, Isolde, and Tristan, as Sirs Knights of Albion. The romance here is a very subtle subplot and not at all sexual but a deep, profound bond of love and affection, and I love it. Arthur faces what he did to the Druids. The Walk of Atonement. Arthur sees the ghosts of everyone he has ever killed. Lastly, he comes face-to-face with Ygraine, who's the sweetest and most mischievous cinnamon roll ever. Arthur starts an official group of female Knights, lead by Isolde.

That Time of Truth by hwc ('Prompt: Druids start to slowly come out of hiding, living their lives peacefully in the kingdom and even sending a diplomat or two to Camelot. After a close call or two, Merlin has to have a chat with them about not revealing Merlin's identity.

The First of Me by CaptainOzone ('The sins of the father ought not be placed upon the son. Merlin had believed this for years about Arthur. He'd never known that Arthur felt the same way about him.

Merlin Season 6 by MonJoh ('What would have happened after Merlin's magic reveal to Arthur if the battle was not at Camlaan and Mordred did not wield the sword that felled King Arthur (i.e. he did not die yet)? This story begins roughly where Diamond of the Day Part 1 leaves off and continues the adventures of the characters we know and love from the show. Arthur has to decide if he still believes magic is evil, and if he can continue to be a friend to someone who has lied to him. Merlin has to balance reality with his hopes for the future and his destiny. Everyone else just wants to support their friends, and might have to decide for themselves how they feel about sorcerers.' The one with Morgana imprisoned in the magical cage cell. The transition from suspicious!Arthur to accepting!Arthur and supportive!Arthur was so smooth that I didn't notice it until it was over. Merlin thinks that the Teine Diaga is responsible for Morgana’s madness. The time skips don't always make sense but you get used to them. Morgana has been under the same enchantment, by Morgause, as she placed Gwen under. Gwaine died in the final battle in this fic. Still a sad ending: Arthur dies in the final battle, as does Mordred, I think, but they do not kill each other. The threat of the Saxons is constantly over their heads. Mordred redemption arc, Morgana redemption arc. Arthur's destiny is to be killed and thrown into the Lake of Avalon. Merlin goes to reunite with his father and the rest of the magic spirits in the Crystal Cave. Technically, this fic has the same objective ending that canon does: Arthur, Gwaine, and Mordred die. Yet, this one feels so much more satisfying. The whole accepting arc made it all worth it. Still if you want a happy fic, stop reading once you get to Gaius' gravestone. Gen, Merlin&Arthur, fix-it, magic reveal. Mustread) 87. The Magic of Love by platonic_boner ('Arthur repeals the ban on magic and expects Merlin's undying gratitude, but Merlin acts like nothing has changed.

For years, Merlin has ached to tell Arthur the truth; has yearned for Arthur to see him--and accept him--as he really is. Yet, something has always held him back, until now. For there is nothing that Merlin would not do for Arthur...even if if that something is revealing himself as a sorcerer in order to try to save Uther. But the consequences of these actions turn out to be more far-reaching than anyone expects, and it isn't long before everything goes terribly, horribly pear-shaped.'

He agrees to give her illegal magic lessons on top of all the work he does for Arthur and chores he handles for Gaius.

And how will he deal with the revelation as they retake Camelot?' BAMF!Merlin. Arthur followed Merlin and watched his confrontation with Agravaine. Merlin is as much an important part of the Arthur and Gwen relationship as Arthur and Gwen are, although in a platonic sense. There's no Arthur without Merlin, or Gwen without Merlin, and it's a Merlin&Arthur&Gwen, Arthur/Gwen. Even when Arthur is supposed to be thinking about Gwen, he's thinking about Merlin, and damnit if that isn't a perfect portrayal of their canon relationship.

Libraries are Dangerous Places by Drag0nst0rm ('If the castle blows up, Arthur's blaming Geoffrey.' Merlin's entire family has been killed off by Uther, and Arthur despairs, post-canon but fix-it, post-magic reveal, angst, hurt no comfort) 14. Finding Merlin by Drag0nst0rm ('When Merlin goes missing, everyone is looking for him. Absolutely everyone. Arthur is starting to get concerned about where, exactly, Merlin meets these people.' Crack. The people who start looking for Merlin are: Arthur, the knights, Alator and the Catha, the druids, Morgana, Kilgharrah. Merlin&Arthur, gen, BAMF!Merlin) Other goodies: 1. Apples: A Series 5 Countdown 2. A Question Best Answered with Rotten Fruit 3. Beautiful Lie (Mergana, evil!Morgana, very in character) 4. Go Fish 5. Fired (the summary's pretty self-explaining: 'Which is not a darkfic, not a deathfic, not slash, and not a reveal, and yet begins with Arthur's sword slicing towards the helpless ex-manservant on the ground. That's the kind of thing that just screams, "You've been fired."') 6. You should just read Emanichescat's and Kitty O's fics. They're brilliant. Especially the latter if you're an Uther fan but cannot find any good Uther fics :) 7. Little Black Dress 8. Just Irritating Enough (featuring Gwaine waking up Arthur in Merlin's stead) 9.

Or do they?' Merthur preslash) 14. Your Touch Is My Salvation by elirwen ('Merlin suffers from an effect of a curse. Arthur can help more than he initially thought.') 15. Merlin and Mordred by ragazzo (gen; Merlin helping Mordred find his sister, although Merlin is still an arse about it) 16. The Lost Prince by triquetra123 ('The youngest Prince of Belthan, fled his kingdom at the age of 14 as it was attacked by Lohin, his uncle. Now, almost seven years later, three of the Prince's best knights come to Camelot to ask of King Arthur for his help in gaining back Belthan. Will Arthur help them? And what does it have to do with Merlin?' Prince!Merlin. The story is okay, but not worth rereading every day) 17. Criladien by DoctorMerlinReid ('King Arthur of Camelot has lifted the ban on magic alongside his Queen, Gweneviere. They have named Morgana Court Sorceress and have decided to unite Albion. Every kingdom has made a treaty with them other than Criladien. The mysterious king has finally agreed to a meeting, but with strange rules in place.' King!Merlin, noble!Merlin, prince!Merlin, royal!Merlin. In which Merlin is a king but still just as much carefree and joyous and grinning and cheerful as ever. Merlin is very chill. this will either be the greatest thing ever, or a total disaster. Warrior is a bit of a Mary Sue at first, but I have to admit I like her. I usually cannot stand those nosy and impertinent teenage Mary Sues, but she does grow on you, although the Mary Sue-ness remains. The writing style reminds me of my old style, back when I started. Not exactly the biggest compliment, but not an outright insult either. The one where they go to a magical castle whose name is Eryos, and Gwen goes missing) 18. Long Live The King by shadowglove ('What if when the Great Dragon said that Mordred would 'kill' Arthur he didn't exactly mean it the way it sounded? Mordred discovers that he fulfilled that prophecy, while living in Arthur's court, loving Emrys, and Arthur still alive on the throne.' Merthur, eventual Merdred. Mordred killed Arthur inside by making Merlin fall in love with Mordred instead. Also, Mordred watches Merlin and Arthur have sex through scrying) 19.

Sons of a Dragon Lord by LivingInTheClouds ('Anyone ever notice how similar Merlin and Mordred look? They both have blue eyes, black hair, pale skin, and an undefinable air of innocence, of naivety. What if it wasn't coincidence? What if there was a reason? What if Balinor had fallen in love again?' Dragonlord!Mordred, Merlin and Mordred are half-brothers) 22. Cenred's Son by TigerInTheMoonlight ('"And just who are you boy, to think you can kill a king?" Uther scoffed. The boy smiled, with no true happiness behind it. "His son." The illegitimate son of King Cenred arrives in Camelot seeking an alliance. But it seems this boy, Merlin, is full of surprises!

Does it have to be as it was before? by Balthamos ('When Arthur finally returns from Avalon he finds Merlin a little bit broken from his years waiting alone. Slowly Arthur helps put him back together, and Merlin finally starts to believe that Arthur is really there to stay. Then they find Gwen and Merlin prepares to let Arthur go, but Arthur’s decision is not the one he expects.' Well, this is both beautifully happy and tragic. Merthur and Arwen, though mostly Merthur and past Arwen. Gwaine is doing hair commercials, Uther is in a retirement home, Morgana became insane, Mordred turned to drugs, Merlin helped bring magic and new sorcerers back. Merthur slash) 27. Ten Foolproof Steps on How to Seduce a Man by writeonclara ('Arthur, has been returned from his rest in Avalon for over a year now, and he is proud to say that he seems to have adapted modern life fairly quickly. He's figured out the ins and outs of living in the 21st century and has taken time along the way to properly mourn both Camelot and Gwen. But now? He's at the point in his new life that he's ready to start considering what he wants for his future. And the rules of modern romance aren't helpful so much as downright contradictory or confusing. How does a former medieval king court a 1000 year old sorcerer anyway?' Some humour, reincarnation fic, Merthur slash. Arthur takes advice from Google's list of 'How does a woman get a man to notice him'. Obviously, he fails) 28. Never Let Me Go by LadyVader ('Set post season 5 finale, Merlin has walked the world for a long time waiting for his friends return.'

Life after life the people who’d been important to them came back, over and over, moving like bits of brilliant glass in a kaleidoscope.' Post-canon, reincarnation fic, modern era, angst, good fic. Merthur slash) 32. Visitors to Narnia by OMGimprocrastinating (‘King Arthur, accompanied by his friend, Merlin the sorcerer, travels to visit his friends, the monarchs of Narnia.' The third in the Narnia/Merlin light crossover, gen, magic reveal at one point in the series but it's off-screen) 33. Myrddin by the.drizzling.rain ('There were many things the people of Camelot didn't know about the king's manservant, as Merlin, born Prince Myrddin Emrys Ambrosius, had many secrets.

There Is Another Way by ValkyrieVeela ('When Mordred wants to rescue Kara, Merlin decides to give him a lesson from the past to change his mind.' 5x11 AU, Merlin&Mordred) Stories that, while not special, still manage to find a way into your heart: 1. Layered (Star Wars) 2. Two Can Play at that Game (Star Wars) 3. Lord Sidious to Lord Vader (Star Wars) 4. Reconciliation (helluva long word xD ) (Star Wars) 5. Four Faces (Batman Begins/Dark Knight) 6. A Bump In The Road (although the ending is downright hilarious if you think about it xD ) (Star Wars) 7. Admit The Truth (Star Wars) 8. Amateur Theatrics (Avengers) (link: http:///works/373529/chapters/608969) And some downright cute AniObi slash: 1. XtinethePirate's series, 'specially 'Cherry Mistmas, Master Kenobi' 2. Vee017's series, particularly 'Happy Birthday, Obi-Wan' 3. Anakin's Dilemma (if you like naïve and cute Obi-Wan, 'tis something for you :D ) 4. Monchy has a lot of AniObi slash fics, love 'em :) 'specially 'Pets and love' (it was exactly the way I imagined AniObi slash would be :D ) 5. Under the table by Monchy deserves a place all of its own. While the grammar is sketchy at best, it more than makes it up with the sheer cuteness contained within the story :3 6. To be fair, Five Kisses and a Little Something Else by Monchy also deserves its own place, mostly because it unites all kinds of AniObi slash genres in one single fic 7. Sexy MF (you'll never look at Obi-Wan quite the same way again, lemme tell you that ;D ) 8. patientalien's 'The Joy of Pudding' and 'Business As Usual' 9. Emmy79ken's 'A Steady Flame That Grows' (if you like fics like that, it's nearly M-rated, but kinda sweet) 10. squerrilla's most Star Wars fics. I'd recommend to start with 'Turning Circles' (BTW, bikes are apparently like our motorcycles. Took me a while to figure it out...) 11. Ithorian Vanilla by TempleMistress 12. Caught by Snootiegirl99 (if there's a limit for cuteness, Snootiegirl has looong since crossed it *grin* And it also features 'clueless' Cody and Rex; a pleasure to read) 13. 'Wherein Drunken Bounty Hunters are Annoying to Outrun' is definitely one of my favourites 14. One Clear Call by epigram and illstarred. Pining!Obi-Wan is mind-wiped, and it is up to his Padawan to protect him, all the while Obi-Wan attemps to act on his feeling for Anakin. Meanwhile, the Sith are plotting galaxy domination, as usual. Lots of hurt and comfort, angst, and fluff. The downside to this fic is that some parts of it are erased. It is possible to understand the plot without those pieces, but it does take some effort (it's worth it though). 15. Entre Nous By Sharpeslass 16. With a Warm and Tender Hand by TempleMistress ('After another close call, Anakin and Obi-Wan are on edge. While they attend to each other's injuries, the tension between them escalates until they're forced to deal with the intense feelings they have for each other.' AniObi slash, no Anidala, deep) 17. Love, Faith and Chastity by calmersky ('Not for the first time, Obi-Wan is the target of some unwanted female attention. At least Anakin hopes it is unwanted. Obi-Wan, as usual, is endearingly oblivious' Sweet, oblivious!Obi-Wan, AniObi, smart and liveable OFC) 18. This is Their Love by Resacon1990 ('"Why not, milady?" Dorme questions, sounding hesitant, "is it because of the Jedi Code?" "No, Dorme," she finally answers quietly. "Because he's already in love with someone else." Or, six people who notice Obi-Wan and Anakin Skywalker have a less than platonic relationship.' Anakin/Obi-Wan, cute, neat, fluff, h/c, happy ending) Star Wars must-reads: 1. Shadow of Vader by Darth Vastor. A universe where Darth Sidious gets a little more greedy than usual and wants both Anakin and Obi-Wan as his apprentices. Quoting the summary, 'Alone, betrayed, and misguided, ObiWan falls. Now Anakin must find a way to save him, before he succumbs himself.' It's the best dark!Obi-Wan fanfic ever written and, quite possibly, the best Star Wars fic, period. The writing style is both explicative and yet not too overkill. You feel as if every word should be where it is. Darth Vastor has a way of writing the duels between Anakin and Obi-Wan that make you feel as though you are right there with them. The author keeps everything very realistic, even so much that you realize that, has Palpatine's plan been any different, this could have indeed happened. The story's perfect. If you only read one story on this whole list, please make it this one. 2. Never Gone by mtfrosty. Three words: Just. Like. That. Anakin wins the battle on Mustafar, but chooses to leave Obi-Wan alive. He then kills Sidious and becomes a far more terrifying, ruthless, and just Emperor than the former ever would be. If you only read one story on this whole list, please make it this one (or Shadow of Vader). 3. Fundamental Force Carriers by tanarill. While 90 percent of the fics on this list are very good and very much worth the read, this is one of the three must-reads on this list. I am in so fucking love with this fic. To start things off, it is a time travel/body swap story, Anakin-centric. a smart and badass Anakin who uses both sides of the Force. Then Kenobi being nice but also in-character, and Ahsoka being around but not obtrusive. Then we have Anakin's fantastic relationship with Yoda and Mace Windu, which is just earth-shattering. Mace himself is also very much the hero he should be. Anakin&Windu; Anakin&Yoda. It is an incredible fic. Anakin uses both the light and the dark side of the Force. He achieves the balance and fixes his mistakes, and for once it actually feels right when he leaves the Jedi Order, because he very much keeps in contact with them after he leaves. (It's like my story with Anakin turning dark but not actually evil. You know which one.) Another amazing aspect of this fic is that Anakin is not okay, mentally, and he does not shy away from admitting it. He is brutally honest, and sees the difference between dark and evil, and is so very clever. Also, the quantum mechanics and the mathematics are a win in themselves. Then there is the fact that he can take on both Yoda and Mace and not lose, and is able to manipulate single atoms and ions to cause a stroke or to defibrillate, which is how he saves Mace's life. He is brilliant at politics and frees the clones. It does sound a bit over the top when it is put like this, but trust me, it doesn't feel like Anakin is overpowered, more like he finally has the amount of power he needs and deserves. Anakin's therapist is Han Solo's mother, Jaina Solo. This fic is more than a little sassy and funny, but it also deals with matters like mental illnesses and health, and hurt and comfort, and politics, and friendship and forgiveness, and has many philosophical debates. This story is so delicious, and the best thing is, you never tire of it. This fic's views on dark and light are enlightening and thought-provoking. The fic ends with dark!Obi-Wan. 4. Imperial by Aria Saralyn. Darth Vader needs a new wingman; Han Solo is about to be kicked out of the Imperial Academy… until he suddenly isn't. A wonderful story full of humour, in-depth personal reflections (and I mean it in the best way possible), and plausible interaction and relationships between characters. The concept of Vader and Han working together, the pair of them so similar yet so different… It's beautiful. It also provides a genuinely believable explanation of Vader's thought process throughout the Trilogy. I love this story for its simplicity at the beginning, and the brilliant plot development as it progressed. Finally, I like the way the epilogue is written: Mara coming back and seeing exactly what she's missed (which is, coincidentally, exactly the same things we missed); it's a very good way of tying loose ends. There's also a Romeo and Juliet reference at the very end: 'For never was there a family more dysfunctional than this of Skywalkers and Imperials'. All in all, a great fic, and definitely worth your time. 5. Ameliora by ArchFaith. You know the ordinary Vader-survives-and-redeems-himself fics? Forget them. This is something new; something special. Here you get to meet an ex-Sith Lord with hangover problems; a Princess who 'has experience disarming thermal detonators'; a clueless Queen recently thawed from carbonite; a Jedi Knight, who seems to be the only one evading danger; an astromech who decides Hoth is definitely not a vacation resort (the others agree with him, I'm sure); a protocol droid who gives waaay too much statistics; a jealous Han who is way smarter than we give him credit for; and Lando and Chewie who both resent being left out from the fic. Oh, and it seems the Sarlacc doesn't like bounty hunters for dinner. Just one con – on hiatus since '10. 6. the Protégé trilogy (Protégé: Chosen, Protégé: Padawans, and Protégé: Vigil) by Andrea13 and PersephoneKore. Basically, an AU where Dooku chooses Anakin as his Padawan. Cue hilarity and instruction on the 'proper care and feeding of a Dooku'. All three are complete. 7. These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For by Kelaria. Aka, 'What Happens When You Mess With Cloning'. Yep, cloning. That seems to be the main theme of this fic. Without spoiling much, there are way too many Anakin Skywalkers in the galaxy. And none of them are sane. Also featuring Vader's inner sarcastic remarks, his failed attempts at not actually hunting Rebels, an extremely lucky spontaneous amnesiac-turned-Grand Moff, mysterious malfunctions appearing all over the Death Star, a chessmaster unaware of his own pawns' location, and a mysterious group of nerf-herders living on an Outer Rim planet that still manages to get involved in the most important events in the original trilogy. (Oh, and we finally find out why Obi-Wan and Yoda were so nuts in Episodes IV-VI.) 8. Change of Fate by CrazyAni. In which Luke and Leia are sent back in time by the Force to prevent Anakin Skywalker from turning to the Dark Side, but everything goes to hell anyway. Quite dark, many secrets and deceptions. If you expect a happy ending, this is the wrong story. This is as dark as stories go without crossing the angst line. Anakin still falls to the Dark side, but later than in canon, and only for a few months. He is brought back by Padmé and the twins. When Luke and Leia go back in time, Vader is still dead. 9. Anabasis by Fialleril. Completely AU. Anakin turned away from the Dark Side, but is kept as a prisoner inside the Jedi Temple. Seems the only friends he's got are Padmé and a certain Count of Serenno. After sitting still inside the cell for months, he's getting restless. But how can a former Sith get the Jedi to believe he's harmless? And is he, really? (The conversations between Anakin and the Count are downright hilarious.) 10. Trial of Forgiving by iluvanakin. The usual Anakin-or-Obi-Wan go back in time to prevent the events happening. Only, this time it's both. Twist? They come directly from the point of their death, so Obi-Wan doesn't really know what happened to Vader later on. Twist #2? They don't know about one another. WIP. 11. A Conversation With Vader by Smenzer. Since most of the other fics are serious (some angsty, h/c etc.) I thought we needed something more funny on the list to balance it out a bit. And, as soon as I thought that, I thought of the Conversation. I mean, there isn't a funnier SW fanfic than 'A Conversation With Vader'! Anyhow, it starts with Vader tracking up Han, but not to capture him, but to talk to him as his future father-in-law. One thing led to another and soon Han, Luke, Leia and Chewie live at Vader's place. Well, for a short amount of time anyway. They soon must move to the Executor, since Vader decides Luke needs to see a shrink. Things take a sharp turn (for better or for worse, that depends on the point of view) when Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Mace, Padmé and Shmi are suddenly resurrected by a mysterious device, Leia introduces Palpatine to the infamous Skywalker temper and Luke, in his endeavour to get a date with Mara Jade, causes general havoc around Vader's ship. Oh, and a pill-addicted prince is convinced Luke and Padmé are drug dealers. Hallelujah. On hiatus, but definitely worth reading. 12. Back Drifting by puts foot in mouth. Basically, deaged!Obi-Wan, Vader, fatherfic, Vader redemption... You get the idea, huh? The fic's really sweet, Obi-Wan is six and about the cutest kid I've ever read about. It's addictive. There's only one drawback – it's on hiatus since '09. 13. What Might Have Been by Helena of Trebond. It's a 'what if Anakin was Yoda's Padawan' story. Obi-Wan resents Qui-Gon for choosing Anakin before him. Then he gets to know Anakin. Oh, and our dear Knight Kenobi is having drug problems. Missions are dangerous things, you see. 14. All Who Are Mortal by gin and ironic. The summary pretty much sums it up: 'What if ObiWan was the Padawan and Anakin the Master?'. The Jedi have a hard time deciding just who is supposed to 'Balance The Force'. So they naturally put together the two candidates as a Master and Padawan pair: Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. A good fic, worth reading. 15. Little One by Girlbender875. Because I just love de-aging fics. This time it's Vader's turn to suff–eh, enjoy the feeling. He turns into a twenty-something-year-old amnesiac. Anakin escapes the Emperor, picks up a handful of former Imps, Jedi, Senators and other misfits along the road as he tries to remember something – something he's not really sure he wants to remember. 16. He Watched by TempleMistress. What, did you expect me to skip putting an AniObi slash into this? Not a chance in hell. The fic in itself is the usual lovesick!Anakin and lovesick!Obi-Wan that can't tell the other one that they love each other. Then they find out, make out etc.. You know the drill. Well, the writer is actually more special than the actual fic. The thing is, TempleMistress succeeded in writing two M-rated scenes that don't actually breach or contain any M-rated stuff. Everything is implied. Real nice to read, cute, cozy and sweet. The fic's rated M, but should be a T. 17. With A Warm And Tender Hand by TempleMistress. Yes, I know, another AniObi slash fic. But this has something special in itself. It's the deepest Anakin/Obi-Wan friendship fic I've ever read and will ever read. It explains a lot of what Obi-Wan was brought up to believe, and how he tries to fight it to love Anakin unconditionally. Eventually, it slips over to slash, but for the most part it borders between friendship and romance, making it the best h/c fic out there (and I know what I'm saying, h/c's are my favorites). Just one advice: while reading this, Youtube the account: CaitlinHeaneyMusic. She has brilliant songs that fit in perfectly with the mood in the fic. 'Safe And Sound' is suggested. 18. Wake the Storm by bedlamsbard (and its sequel: The Queen's Gambit). In which, Anakin meets Ben Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and future!Yoda with surprisingly little angst involved, Leia proves herself to be the badass we know she is, and Artoo is capable of holding profound conversations with Anakin. There is very little Palpatine, which is a pleasant bonus. It is truly a beautiful and well-written fusion of time travel and alternate universes; of angst, hurt and comfort, and humour. It is a gorgeous combination of the Original Trilogy and the Prequels. It has every single element needed for a good Star Wars fanfic – plus, it is well-written. Reminds of 'Shadow of Vader' (which is the Star Wars classic). 19. Deceptions by Amrita Glittersong. Imagine Obi-Wan posing undercover as a Sith. Yes, a Sith. Basically, Dooku contacts ObiWan in hopes of meeting with him for negotiations. Then Sidious arrives and, to the surprise of absolutely no one, things go awfully awry. Obi-Wan then ends up pretending to have Turned. This spells disaster. The fic is on a permanent hiatus (I seem to notice a trend here), but it is so good and so utterly hilarious that it is worth the pain afterwards. 20. If I Don't Catch You by Julie the Tall Terror. When the Jedi Council decides not to train Anakin, he is sent away and disappears. Three years later, both the Jedi and the Sith are still trying to find the Chosen One, but Anakin doesn't seem to want to be found. It is in equal parts hilarious and heart-breaking. The first part of a series, all complete. 21. The Jedi and the Sith by Lincoln Six Echo. "My son is gone. They have taken him away." 'In an universe where Jedi and Sith coexist, Jedi Master QuiGon Jinn joins Sith Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi in a diplomatic mission to free Naboo from the Trade Federation blockade.' Or, the one where Obi-Wan turns out to be Qui-Gon's son as well as a Sith. 22. Breaking Boundaries by SphinxScribe. A story of a self-exiled ex-Sith Lord, a kidnapped Princess, a worried twin brother, a smuggler with the penchant for trouble, a brunette who should by all accounts be dead, and our favourite Imperial Admiral who is much more observant than we give him credit for. Did I mention kidnapping? 23. Servants of the Force by Wuff. Anakin and Obi-Wan are born on the same day and are both candidates for the title of the Chosen One. They become friends, rivals, and lovers. Eventual AniObi slash. 24. Tales from the Trash Compactor - basically trash compactors plus alien invasion plus gooey aliens (Llocussts) plus five younger siblings. It also has one of my favourite plot twists of all times: Palpatine is Obi-Wan's father, and Obi-Wan has two older brothers (who are not entirely sane). Obi-Wan clones himself, and OB-1 the clone ends up falling in love with Anakin's younger daughter. Han Solo turns out to be Force-sensitive. Contrary to this review, this is, for the most part, not a humorous fic. The Rebel Alliance has been infiltrated by Imperial spies from the very beginning. Luke, Leia, and Han have slave devices implanted in their brains. We are also given a realistic explanation for why Anakin and Obi-Wan did not just assassinate Palpatine. Also, Anakin was an agent for the light side from the very beginning, but he maintained his cover as Darth Vader until ANH. (Force, I am writing this review about two years after I read this fic, and I must admit, it is much more well-thought-out than I remember. Try a 'These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For', but with descriptions on level with 'Shadow of Vader'.) Han blinked in utter disbelief. Leia's family is completely and totally insane, he realized. 25. Fortune's Gate by geo3. Long story short: Anakin does not get Jedi training and returns to Tatooine to free his mother. He then accidentally ends up being the most important and powerful person on the entire freaking planet. Throw in a Sith Apprentice who realizes Anakin's true potential and wants to train him in secret from his Sith Master, a Senator who needs to hide for a few weeks, and a Jedi who seems to deeply regret his past actions, and you have–well, chaos. 26. Race Against Time by Charlie Hayden. Vader, Luke, and Leia are thrown back in time. They… adjust (ish). Also, Vader becomes weirdly wise, Luke is his oblivious self, and Leia is more like her father than she'd care to admit. (Notabene to myself: the fic where Anakin uses Starkiller as alias.) 27. Day Off by mtfrosty. Okay, so I know I put it up on the actual Star Wars recs list, but I think this deserves two spots. Anakin and Obi-Wan have a day off from the way, which equals lethal pancakes, useless droids, annoying buzzing insects, and a very pissed-off Mace Windu. 28. A Father's Love by x Rajah x. In which redemption-seeking Anakin speaks in wise riddles, a cheerful smuggler asks Darth Vader for help with his ship, a wookie is curiously absent most of the time, a princess doesn't behave all that princessy, and a farm boy from Tatooine seems to be the only one to know what's actually going on. Oh, and there's a lot of Force ghosts and reality altering. In other words, a fluffy and hilarious redemption fic. 29. Star Wars: Point of Divergence by Nerdlinger. An alternate timeline in which Obi-Wan doesn't defeat Grievous in time and, as a result, talks Anakin out of siding with Palpatine. Very well-written, although it is a summary of all events and there is no actual scene description. I love the speculations though. It is impossible to do it justice in a summary. You need, however, an account on AlternateHistory to read it (the read is well worth going through all the trouble of getting an account). 30. I'm More Than Just A Hero by Zombie-Jedi-Nightwing. What started off mostly as a hurt/comfort between Obi-Wan and Anakin after Padmé's untimely demise, turned into one of the darkest, saddest, and yet most beautiful fics I've ever read. Erratic timeline, but still a pleasure to read. 31. Free from Force by Haxong. After his death, Vader is transported back in time to the beginning, all the while retaining his body. He becomes a father to Anakin, and yet he remains a Sith. When Anakin joins the Jedi, Vader creates his own Sith Order (featuring, among others, Dooku and Qui-Gon), and starts a war. Simple yet very well-executed idea. 32. Redux: Forging Ground by Pips. WIP, 5 long chapters, updated Feb 2013, but it is worth giving up your heart for this fic. Basically, during meditating on Ansion, Anakin unknowingly connects to an alternate version of himself (Darth Vader), which results in Anakin receiving Vader's memories. Burdened by Vader's sins, Anakin sets out to fix the universe. In this story, Anakin divulges Sidious' identity to the Jedi Council, Mace is being his obnoxious self, and Yoda is surprisingly cooperative. Obi-Wan is understanding and wonderful, even though he feels like he has lost his best friend when Anakin received Vader's memories. I do find it weird that Anakin is so light though, that he has no dark tendencies. Also, Obi-Wan bloody Kenobi is giving his Padawan dating advice. If nothing else, this makes it worth reading it. Although it is by no means a 'Back Drifting' or 'Shadow of Vader', it is very good in itself. 33. Consequences by Treenahasthaal. A father/son AU. 'What if Luke hadn't made it off the Death Star immediately following Kenobi's death?' The one where Vader hires Bobba Fett to take care of Luke because the Emperor threatens Luke, and the 'look/Luke' conversation follows. Very well-written, although I have not read it in a while. 34. The Dark Lord of Naboo by psychoman222. 'When his last breath left him on the Death Star, Anakin Skywalker had one wish-to be with his family. His mother, Padmé, Luke and his sister, whom he had never met, but wished to. So, when he woke up in his nine-year old body, he was surprised, to say the least.' Yes, this is yet another time travel fic, but this one is special in the fact that Anakin does not play the small and innocent child but is instead very independent, and does not want to return to the Jedi. Also, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, and Yoda, have also time-travelled back with Anakin. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are very supportive, and Anakin is badass, and Dooku is roped into playing the pretend guardian to Anakin while taking back his title as Count of Serenno. Overall a very enjoyable and light fic, although sometimes, the grammar is mildly annoying. 35. Second Chances by Driverpicksthemooseic (Ratkinzluver33). This is a de-aging fic. The Force decided to de-age Vader and Obi-Wan into their RotS selves. Vader fluctuates between Vader and Anakin, Leia starts to trust her father, Obi-Wan keep stealing Han's alcohol, Ahsoka fixes things, and there is some perfectly sweet Anakin/Obi-Wan going on. Basically everything I want in a Star Wars fic. It is perfect for me. 36. Force of Destiny by Llarian Ashbourne. 'An accident reveals an old deception, and Darth Vader must make a decision that will change not only his life.' Vader has a flight accident that leads to the medical doctor revealing that he has had transmitters in his blood which limited the supply of oxygen, so Vader has always been able to breathe on his own. Vader goes on a redemption trip (ie rescuing Solo from Jabba), and meets Yoda again, together with Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewie. Oh, and Jix is also there somewhere. In the meantime, Piett is leading a rebellion onboard the Executor, and Obi-Wan is being annoying. The transition from Vader into Anakin was smooth and felt authentic, which is the more incredible considering that Vader there was not a lot of Vader's POV there. It's an amazing story. Unfortunately on permanent hiatus. 37. don't forget (your bones and skin) by Fialleril. 'Kylo Ren has spent years seeking the guidance of Darth Vader. But he never expected this. (Or, the one where Kylo and Rey have a heated existential debate about the true nature of Anakin Skywalker. And there are ghosts.)' Spoilers for TFA. In which there are failed attempts at interrogation, and Anakin is a good grandfather to both Rey and Kylo, showing both his good side and his Vader side. It's a oneshot, but it is just so well-written and magnificent. 38. in the place that's made of old relations by Fialleril. 'The one where Rey grows up alone on Jakku. Well, not completely alone. It turns out her grandfather knows a thing or two about living in the desert.' The prequel to the abovmentioned story. A bit longer, slightly AU considering Rey owns BB-8 to begin with. Anakin tells Rey stories of Ekkreth and other Tatooine stories, teaches her the old language of Tatooine, and Padmé gives Rey The Talk. Very h/c and fluffy. Also, there are mentions of mental torture courtesy of a crashed Star Destroyer. 39. Viper Of Light by The Warrior Of Twilight. Time travel, Dooku-centric, absolutely stunning. Dooku dies at the hands of Anakin and is given a chance by the Force and Qui-Gon to go back and change things. He's badass and cold yet sane and emotional and just so wonderful. You can see the true depths of his character. Also, I like the way he describes the Force's different aspects, the dark, the light. I like the way Dooku reasons with everyone. There was so much potential in the movies to do something exceptional with Dooku, and I feel this this fic utilizes this potential. Also, Anakin and Qui-Gon's relationship is just perfect – they are just similar enough to get along like a house on fire, and rebellious enough to constantly question the council, but different enough not to clash. 40. The Right Path by TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel. 'It's hard to idolise Darth Vader when his Force ghost tells you how awful his life was. Or, the one where Anakin's Force ghost keeps Ben on the straight and narrow, and everything works out okay.' It's surprisingly light, considering the subject. I don't know why I found it good enough for this list, but it is a very pleasant read. Grammatically speaking, it is a delight. I suppose one of the reasons why I found this fic intriguing is because this is very unlike TardisIsTheOnlyWayToTravel's other fics. It is surprisingly serious yet gentle. 41. Tumbling Star Wars by esama. 'Various Star Wars snippets.' By snippets, the author means whole new ideas, wonderfully concise. The first idea is very interesting: Obi-Wan kills Anakin, Padmé dies in childbirth, and Obi-Wan promises to do anything to prevent the twins from falling into Sidious' hands. Anything. Then he and the twins, still babies, mind, time travel back to when Anakin was nine. The second snippet is even more thought-provoking: Anakin kills Palpatine and Obi-Wan kills Grievous, which means that the clones don't have a leader. Obi-Wan, with the guidance of Windu and Yoda, takes control of the clones and creates an Empire, because he himself questions whether a Republic worth fighting for even remains. As I said, very thought-provoking. 42. Strangers On The Road To Heaven by ULTRA SONIC. 'After dying at the hands of his son, Han Solo finds himself on the path to the netherworld of the Force. However, he also encounters someone who turns out to be the last person he expected to have as his guide.' Post-TFA. Compassionate Han, with lots of Han and Anakin bonding. It highlights the similarities between Anakin and Han, and goes on to show what kind of relationship they could have had. Han also brings up some relevant points about the state of the Old Republic. Anakin acknowledges that one needs to find balance in the Force, with both the light and the dark side. Han ultimately forgives Anakin, but it is done very realistically. A light pleasure to read. 43. Leia Organa is Not a Myth by LullabyKnell. 'The Empire told stories about Leia Organa. Those stories didn’t work very well.' Not-so-subtly-implied angst. Very well-done character analysis of Leia Organa. It is subtly dark in this way all those oneshots are. Very much worth the read. 44. In Vino Veritas by Mathematica. A brilliant Han POV of Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader. Han knows, obviously. One-shot and a short read, but worth every second. 45. A Semi-Unwilling Accomplice in Sort Of Everything by VelvetyNightSky. I usually use my own description, but you literally cannot get a better description than the one already used. 'In which Luke Skywalker, an almost-fifteen year old slightly amnesiac galaxy-feared thief, ends up becoming a Jedi. How, he's still not sure. However, Luke does know that Master Anakin is a little weird, Princess Leia Organa is annoying as ever, and Supreme Chancellor Amidala is even freakier than Master Anakin. Oh, and there's that old Emperor guy still trying to kill him...' 46. Penpals by Smenzer. Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader start writing letters to each other, unaware of who the other really is. Or, the one where Han is smarter than everybody else. 47. Life Beyond the Code by Bek-K. 'Obi-Wan defies the Council to train Anakin.' There is fluff, hurt and comfort, some angst, and cameos from Padmé. 48. you knock me out, i fall apart by pdotschuy. The one where Anakin was a Sith Lord for literally an hour, everyone is alive, and they're actually happy. This fic is light and everybody is such a BAMF, but it also deals with Anakin's journey of actually having to live with his bad actions and their consequences, and Padmé and Obi-Wan and Ahsoka's journey with him. It is one of those slightly fluffy redemption fics. Non-linear storytelling, and very enjoyably done. Somehow, Anakin and Ahsoka have gotten themselves banned from several entire solar systems. Anakin and Obi-Wan are Jedi, and Ahsoka is Fulcrum. This fic makes me want to watch the Clone Wars, because AHSOKA. And goodness, the whole fic is connected to Rey and Ben Solo at the end. The Luke&Leia bonding is breathtaking. Anakin is, when it truly matters, very much Fallen and a Sith. In which Ahsoka is scarring everyone for life, there is some serious AniObi going on, and Anakin has no idea who the kriffin' hell raised Ahsoka to be so snippy and brutally honest. The barely-controlled all-out dramatic chaos that is the Skywalker family unit. Post-war, no Palpatine, rogue Separatists, Padmé is still a Senator. Luke is the 'more dramatic but decidedly less brutal offspring'. Leia is very much the badass we all know and love. Anakin has done some truly terrible things in the past. Anakin killed Dooku in an even worse way than he killed him in canon. And then Obi-Wan showed up with Ahsoka in tow to the duel with Anakin and Palpatine. Ahsoka cut off Anakin's metal arm again. 49. Hindsight Is Not Perfect and The Dangers of Foresight by Anne Camp aka Obi-quiet. Anakin travels back in time, determined to derail Sidious' plans for the galaxy. That involves working with Dooku. On top of that, Anakin also does therapy with a droid and the Council. There's also the problem of Anakin being just that bit too Dark for comfort. Too bad he is nine years old. Too bad keeping up a facade isn't one of his strong points. Deaged!fic, time travel, gen, Anakin&Yoda. 50. I myself have torn myself to shreds by iiscos. 'The five times Anakin traveled back in time with the intention of making things better, and the one time that it actually worked.' It is a fix-it!fic, but it still hurts. Anakin/Padmé, Anakin/Obi-Wan. Time travel. The last time, Anakin comes back as a child and refuses to get mixed up in universe's games) 51. i could teach you (but i'd have to charge) by pdotschuy. 'There’s a reason Dooku starts his mornings off with four aspirin and a shot of rum.' In less than 4k words, a detailed universe was created, where everyone works at the Coruscant High School, and Anakin the mechanics teacher leads student rebellions and does dumb stuff that surprisingly doesn't get him fired, Ahsoka sets up a schoolwide vote on whether Anakin should date Obi-Wan or Padmé, and Dooku is an alcoholist because Anakin Skywalker. Also, Anakin and Ahsoka have plans involving firetrucks. High school!AU. It is just as hilarious and as surrealistic as Erik Lehnsherr's Guide To Parenting. As far as dry humour goes, this fic is one of the funniest in the entire Star Wars fandom. 52. Echoes of Mortis by wreckageofstars. 'In a universe where the Father failed to take away Anakin's vision of the future, the Hero With No Fear struggles with the knowledge of what he will become and the knowledge of who, exactly, is responsible. Drastic steps are taken and in the process things go a little bit...sideways.' You know, when there is a 'it's less of a fix-it and more of a 'ruin it differently', I don't usually take it seriously, but let me tell you, this story spirals out of control due to Palpatine being Palpatine pretty quickly, even when Anakin tries to prevent it. Sidious blackmails Anakin by threatening Padmé, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan, and regularly electrocutes him. Then the Council attacks Palpatine and is murdered by him, and Palpatine does his 'I declare this galaxy an empire' move and blames everything that ever went wrong on Anakin. Kind of a fix-it!fic, kind of but not really a time travel fic. 53. Legacy by flamethrower. Obi-Wan is broken and beyond messed up by Qui-Gon's death, and is ready to do whatever it took to avenge him by killing Sidious, including joining the Sith. Very dark fic. Ghost!Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan&Dooku. Sith!Obi-Wan, dark!Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan/Jango Fett, asexual!Cody. Lots of swearing, and by that I mean being able to pick up a new vocabulary from Obi-Wan's lack of a verbal filter. I started to read it casually as a calming fic, and I did not expect to get through the entire fic in one read. Somewhat obscure and cryptic formulation sometimes, and the you have to think about the deeper meaning and paraphrasing of some sentences. Obi-Wan outwits Sidious at his own game. Obi-Wan kills Dooku, and it breaks him again and again. Anakin is a better Jedi for Obi-Wan being a Sith, and isn't it just ironic? Anakin tells Obi-Wan about his and Padmé's marriage. Honestly, I started to suspect that Obi-Wan's inner voice is Qui-Gon long before Obi-Wan himself did. 'Obi-Wan looks at him, at this Jedi Knight he somehow managed to train while half out of his mind, who is in turn training a brilliant student of his own. Qui-Gon has been after him for months, but Obi-Wan is finally—grudgingly—starting to admit that they’re his legacy, too.' Ambiguous ending, although it seems like Obi-Wan will tell Anakin the entire truth. At first, the title makes zero sense, but when you're done with it, it makes perfect sense and is the most fitting title for a fic ever. Truly fucking gorgeous fic. 54. A New History by Annie Walker. A time travel story involving Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Dooku, who travel back in time to when Obi-Wan was fourteen, Dooku in order to kill Obi-Wan to stop him and Anakin from interfering, and Anakin and Obi-Wan in order to prevent just that. The fic itself is very easy to read, and has a very smooth character interaction. I mean, Anakin is still Anakin, just as reckless and as attached as in canon. But he's also so freaking powerful and skilled, it is incredible. And Anakin and Obi-Wan's bond is the strongest bond anyone has ever felt, stronger than Anakin and Padmé's. It's like reading all the positive things about canon without any of the negative sides, while the characters are still in-character. Qui-Gon, Yoda, and Mace draw their own conclusions as to the Sith Lord's identity, and Qui-Gon thinks that the sith is him. Anakin and Obi-Wan's lightsaber duel is more badass than any other before, and they'd be able to defeat any Jedi Master in the temple (except maybe Yoda, but Yoda is Yoda). Anakin on his own would give even Mace Windu a run for his money. Obi-Wan is the master of Soresu, while Anakin wields Djem So like a beauty. There is a fair bit of angst here: Anakin's blindness to Obi-Wan's emotions is breaking my heart; Obi-Wan's emotions themselves are breaking my heart, and Obi-Wan's willingness to clean up Anakin's messes is also breaking my heart. All. At. Once. 55. Babysitting is a Many Splendoured Thing by DarthRuinous. As a result of exposing Anakin and Padmé's marriage early on, Palpatine isn't found out as a Sith Lord and doesn't take over the galaxy, and instead continues to be Chancellor. He becomes a docile Sith Lord and reluctantly agrees to babysit Luke and Leia for Anakin. Very light-hearted and hilarious. Palpatine's sophisticated commentary is the best. This is like canon mixed with that one time Palpatine was imprisoned for six years, mixed with that one series where Palpatine and Sidious were two different people. Palpatine needs to realize that he already more or less rules the galaxy. Anakin is entirely oblivious to all of Palpatine's attempts to turn him to the Dark side. Oh, and Obi-Wan makes an appearance. Obi-Wan and Palpatine are exact opposites but at the same time are so similar that it's not even funny. The whole fic reminds me of that post where Bucky goes 'I'm super dangerous' while helping old ladies and young kids and puppies. Asexual!Palpatine. Sith and Jedi is a parody of Romeo and Juliet. 56. One Missed Strike by Davin Sunrider. 'In an alternate universe, the duel at Mustafar ended differently, and the galaxy took a divergent path as a result: Darth Vader is the Emperor, the Death Star does not exist, and Luke Skywalker knows exactly where he came from.' That's basically it. The original trilogy with Vader as Emperor. 57. Soldier, Poet, King by Glare. Time travel, Obi-Wan as a Sith and borderline psychopath, Anakin seeking redemption but not really, and the two of them being more codependent than the Winchesters. This is the best example of a fictional character becoming independent and destroying an author's plot. I mean, Ben Kenobi. Love the surprisingly light writing style, and the sarcastic comments before and after each chapter. It is twisted and dark and wonderful. Very sassy author. 58. Lightbearer by esama. 'After his Master's death Obi-Wan Falls. Anakin picks up the pieces.' BAMF!Anakin, sassy!Anakin, smart!Anakin. Obi-Wan is heartbreaking, and Yoda is so realistic yet nice it hurts. H/c, angst, fluff, dark!Obi-Wan but not quite Sith!Obi-Wan, friendship, no Anidala. Shmi is free and well. This is one of those fics that you just have to read. 59. Deviation by minhui. Obi-Wan and Anakin send their emotions and parts of their memories back in time to TPM, and everyone lives except for Sidious. Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship is so much moreopen and trustng. Still Anidala. Anakin is one of the best duelists in the Order. Ahsoka and Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon know about Anakin and Padmé. 'Anakin wore his other self’s mistakes close to his heart, and it killed Obi-Wan to watch his boy doubt himself so heavily.' One of the best fix-it fics, right after Fundamental Forces. Very sassy author. Seriously, this is like SPK. 60. Two and a Half Men (with a baby) by jerseydevious ('After a long day of bargaining with Hutts and attempting to ignore his past, Darth Vader is nearing the end of his rope. When he discovers his two-year-old son, it's the straw that breaks the semi-rational Sith Lord's back; in a rash act worthy of the Skywalker name, he scoops his son into his arms, steals a shuttle from his own fleet, and punches in random hyperspace coordinates to a destination on the other side of the galaxy. Unfortunately, father and son are not the only ones on the ship.' Redemption fic, eventual happy ending, gen, the most implausible fix-it fic ever. Everyone learns the magical power of friendship and not regularly committing homicide. Sassy author. Obi-Wan is going insane, and it is written so believably and so accurately. Obi-Wan hurts, both physically but mostly mentally, and it's horrible, and Vader is Vader and just as ruthless as ever, and Obi-Wan has split personalities for the moment and is in alcohol withdrawal, and Piett is somehow responsible for this bunch and what is even this fic, my heart is breaking because so much angst and unresolved hurt. 61. Never Let Go by Between the Fire and the Storm. 'A mission gone wrong lands Anakin in the hands of Count Dooku while the rest of the galaxy is under the impression that he is dead. Anakin realizes a simple plan to destroy the Sith and end the war. Join them.' Not really a Sith!Anakin, but definitely dark!Anakin at times. Mace Windu is amazing: he is strict, but does not have a stick up his ass. Very much worth the read. 62. Fulfilling a Prophecy by Kian-Rai Delcam. A redempted yet still dark Vader travel back in time with Luke to before Maul, in order to prevent the fall of the Republic. Time travel, gen. BAMF!Vader, awesome!Qui-Gon. Confusing story but so very good. Light reading but very pleasant. 63. Allegiance by KaelinaLovesLomaris. Luke is captured by rogue Imperials and contacts Vader to get help. Vader then enlists Luke's services in helping Vader bring down the Emperor, all the while trying to turn Luke. No dark!Luke. I love this fic to bits and pieces. It's casual but also very interesting) 64. Meet the Skywalkers by frodogenic. Newly returned from the Unknown Regions with Darth Vader, Admiral Piett doesn't expect much of a welcome from the New Republic. And not in a million lifetimes would he have predicted that their very first guest would be Luke Skywalker. After all, Vader is still his mortal enemy...right?' Perfect! The banter is hilarious and dry and should be read regardless of anything else. Vader's character development is the most amazing. Now You See Me: 1. Always A Gentleman by readwriteandavengers ('The group's back on a plane, headed to the next location the Eye has planned. It's a long ride and Danny finds out he's far more exhausted than he thought. Although he didn't intend on falling asleep on Dylan's shoulder for a couple of hours.' Dylan/Daniel, cute, hiding feelings, fluff) 2. the one with the webcam by mayerwien ('The Horsemen find out that Dylan has a Skype date with Alma. They decide to make it a little more...interesting.' Alma/Dylan, the Four Horsemen, funny) 3. Magic to Do by heyjupiter ('In which Bruce and Tony become obsessed with the story of the Four Horsemen's heists--Tony wants to know how, Bruce wants to know why, and everybody wants to be the smartest guy in the room.' Funny, Marvel crossover, Bruce and Dylan are doppelgängers, very good) RPS: 1. The Last to Know by Mrs_Don_Draper ('Michelle and Jill know their husbands better than they know themselves.' Obama/Biden because that's what I read nowadays apparently, thinly-veiled angst, secret relationship, gossip, tea, h/c) 2. Lull by Mrs_Don_Draper ('The president and his right hand man have a heart to heart in the Oval Office.' Obama&Biden, angst, bromance, banter, fluff. Trump and Pence are their own warnings even though they don't appear in this fic) A beautiful Cherik poem by Dorkangel: *Erik* Azazel is red, My cape is purple, My name is Magneto, *Charles* Azazel is red, So much blood on your hands, My name is Xavier, *Both* Azazel is red, In this dark future, Mutants aren't perfect, Random quotes: A day without sunshine is like. . . well, night.

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger, then it hit me. What is a hero without a villain? Nothing. What is a villain without a hero? Successful. Just say no to drugs.
