As a fyi, the SpaceBattles, Sufficient Velocity and Questionable Questing forums ("Goblin Queen") has non-canonical omake which are amusing... they've gone meta. Also, Goblin Queen has a TV Tropes entry/page. 17th arc is one... more something. :3

It's been a while since the girls have seen their good friend, Harry Dresden. They tried inviting him back, but between his new job and new apprentice, Dresden always claimed to be too busy. The solution was obvious; he couldn't come to them, they needed to visit him. Besides they say Earth is lovely this time of year. What could go wrong?

One little push and all his troubles would be over – if only that darn cub wasn't so cute! (Rational!Scar raises Simba as his own. COMPLETE!)

Granted powers from another world, Taylor Hebert must deal with a Cape world that is out to kill her when they discover that she can permanently steal powers.

Some said there were places out there where you couldn't possibly have too much power. Some said Earth Bet was one of these places. Some were wrong. They were very, very wrong.

What if Professor Oak was a reasonable man who didn't send Red out into the world, alone, at age ten?

Bonnie sets off on her journey. Kalos is so not ready for this. One-shot collection.

Taylor thought she had kept her powers hidden from her parents. Little did she know, it was actually the other way around. Kleptomania ensues.
