Brightest in the Dark by SooperSara
Slightly AU for Crossroads of Destiny - instead of Aang and Iroh, it's Azula who interrupts Katara and Zuko's conversation, and things go a little differently. This is lovely, with some quality Zuko pining.

The Crown Hangs Heavy by monpetitpois
This is a lovely tag to the Boiling Rock, in which Zuko and Hakoda have a conversation about fathers and honor. Oh heart.

Family Matters by WinterSky101
This duology is a nice entry into the "Hakoda parents Zuko" genre.

Avengers

Never Look Before You Jump by oh_simone
When Steve goes back to see Peggy, things don't go exactly as he planned. This is a lot of fun.

The Parent Snap by follow_the_sun
AU where Thor gives Bucky the time stone and he uses it to rescue baby Thor, baby Loki, and baby Hela from Odin's parenting. Sweet and hilarious.

You Feel My Heat (I'm Just a Moment Behind) by innie
Steve and Bucky during the pre-war years, through Steve's artist's eyes. Achingly lovely.

fightin' for my trust (and you won't back down) by LullabyKnell
Jeff works on his relationship with Miles, and eventually, the truth comes out. Oh my heart.

till one day they call your name by laiqualaurelote
"You know how when you're little, people make you feel like you've been chosen for something great? And then one day it's like it all vanished when you weren't looking. Like you've disappointed them, somehow."

Nine years after almost causing the end of the world, Adam is working backstage in university theatre when he meets a high-strung, melodramatic, manipulative American director who happens to share his birthday. This is adorable.

Andy takes a night to rest. Lovely.

Entrainment by domarzione
Lovely look at Nile settling in with Joe and Nicky and Andy.

life is very long by kaydeefalls
Andromache tells him: "The Greeks used to have seven different words for love. Well. More, probably. But I remember seven." She shrugs. "There are many ways to love one another, and life is long. We've time enough for them all. It's the only thing that makes it worthwhile."

Nicky and his immortal family, over the centuries. Lovely.

Star Wars

Like Fire in Our Bones by acuteneurosis
Post-RotJ Leia gets sent back in time to Shmi Skywalker just before the Clone Wars start. This is a lot of fun and also has some lovely moments for Leia and Shmi and Padmé.

Living Among Things by pipionem
Ahsoka crash lands on Tatooine and runs into an old friend. Lovely.

the lovers, reversed by aradian_nights
Excellent look at Padmé during the end of RotS.

Ripples Upon the Tide by Shadaras
Padmé is crowned Queen Amidala, and sits in meditation in the sacred waters of Ma-Urru. There, she hears a woman's voice speaking to her. That's strange enough. Even stranger, the voice sounds like it might be her own. I enjoyed this look at Padme beginning to make changes for the better when she's sent back into her own timeline.

The Voyage of the Daystar by ambiguously
This is a really lovely AU where Anakin doesn't fall and the Empire doesn't form, but both he and Ahsoka are at loose ends after the wary, and they meet up again several years later, and their relationship changes.

Batman

Affection and Care is a Dumpling, Bursting by whaleofatime
Jason helps Alfred make dumplings. This is adorable.

American Ninja Worrier by DangerBeckett
Tim embarks on a project requiring him to hire a ninja intern. Jason finds this extremely worrisome (and even more so when Bruce doesn't). This is hilarious.

Didn't See The Way You Missed Me by GoldfishForHire
Due to fear toxin, Jason gets to see Bruce relive the moments after his death. It's not as satisfying as he thought it'd be. Ouch.

Like Drowning In A Desert by geckoholic
Sweet, hot, mildly angsty Dick/Jason with some breathplay thrown in. (some minor typos)

Midnight Book Club by Badwolf36
Cass and Jason talk books while Jason is injured. <333 #siblings!

a million dreams by CaptainOzone
In the moment before their deaths, Mary and John Grayson are pulled forward in time to meet their son's adoptive family. Oh my heart.

Override Two: Family Protocol by zombiesbecrazy
A really good, long Dick-becomes-Talon AU. I thought I had recced this a long time ago, so here it is. *g*

Pup by lurkinglurkerwholurks
Damian watches over Bruce after he's injured. <3

Redrawing the Lines by BirdChild
Dick finds out that Damian cut Tim's line and they all have some very necessary conversations.

run killer run by badacts
When Tim accidentally kills a man in self-defense, he goes to Jason for help. This is a meditative look at the Batfamily, and at Bruce and how he's still learning to handle his kids.

Runaway Robin by DangerBeckett
One night, Robin spots a kid with an overnight bag on a rooftop, and he jumps to the obvious conclusion: the kid's trying to run away. The kid is doing a really bad job of it, though, and that's the sort of thing Robin just has to correct.

Except the kid is Tim Drake, and Tim isn't actually trying to run away. But "running away" does sound a little better than "stalking bat-themed vigilantes through the crime-infested streets of Gotham every night." So he lets Robin have this one.

Besides, that's the end of it, right? Robin might have found Tim once, but no one ever looks for Tim a second time. Robin can think whatever he wants. They'll never see each other again.

(They see each other again.) This is adorable!

salespeople know (listening is the most important part) by Mayhem10
Tim's life takes a different turn, so he doesn't get involved in Bat-business until a few years later, but he does get involved. I enjoyed this.

sweetness and light by badacts
Damian and Jason find an injured puppy on patrol. Oh heart.
