This is a long, fascinating Harry/Draco story, full of melancholy and hope.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

charm/blade by BeatriceEagle
Any hope Mai had of killing her crush ended the day that she made a wrong turn on the way back from the privy and stumbled across Zuko practicing with his swords. The sword was not Mai's weapon, let alone the dual dao, but she knew blades, she loved blades, and Zuko, with his shirt off and the firelight glinting off his sweat and the dao alike, was a blade. Really sharp (sorry!) look at Mai and why she makes the choices she does.

The Expanse

Emersion by Northland
Drummer and Avasarala have an interesting conversation. Oh gosh, I'd love to see these two interact and this story delivers.

When Neal gets de-aged to about 4 years old, El and Peter take him in. This is adorable.

Five Times James and Sarah Made Each Other Happy (& One Time They Didn't) by marina
Does exactly what it says on the tin, and is really lovely in doing it.

home (where i wanted to go) by Contra
Taking Steve's choice in Endgame to a logical conclusion. Ouch.

To Boldly Go by heyjupiter
A brief but necessary coda to WandaVision in which we see where Monica goes next.

Crossover

WandaVision/Star Wars

A Witch's Favor by phoenixyfriend
This is a fun crossover where Wanda (and eventually Monica) end up on Tatooine. Wanda is taken in by Shmi, and she ends up freeing the slaves, which of course, brings her to the attention of the Jedi Council. Anakin just wants to see his mom, and Obi-Wan needs so many drinks.

Batfamily

The 70 Days After Groundhog Day by Ptelea
Jason goes through a time loop and figures out how to break it, but that's just where the story starts. this is fantastic. Highly recommended.

and the shapes that you drew may change beneath a different light by good_ho_mens
Tim makes an effort to be there for Damian after Dick's "death". Oh heart.

Batfamily by kuzujuk
Three stories where Damian is having a hard time figuring out how to be Bruce's Robin instead of Dick's. Lovely.

Catch Me (All Records Indicate) by Engineerd
"I'm a cool brother!" Dick shouted back from the bathroom. "I'm the coolest brother you have!"

Damian pulled his shoes out from the shelves where Pennyworth carefully stored them. "Todd is cooler than you, Grayson! He has a leather jacket!"

"Jason!" Grayson shouted back, outraged. "Last time he saw you, he shot at you!"

"That makes him even cooler!" Nice look at Damian's growing appreciation for Dick. Ends a little abruptly though.

Everybody's Heard (Bird is the Word) by tabletoptime
Batman overhears several conversations about Tim over the course of his journey to prove Bruce is still alive. Oh Tim.

Gotham City Sirens - Spoiled! by Hinn_Raven
Harley Quinn knew Crystal Brown in college. She doesn't exactly expect it to come back around when Stephanie Brown needs someone to look after her while her mom is in rehab.

Spoiler Alert, things are going to get interesting, especially when Steph realizes who, exactly, she's going to be living with. This is adorable.

Handle with Care by takadainmate
Dick gets sick while Alfred is away so caretaking falls to Damian and Bruce. They handle it. Oh heart.

if you just call me by BeatriceEagle
Dick and Donna, after the action, through the years. I love their friendship so much. *sobs* This is so lovely.

the maybe man by dustorange
Bruce and Dick haven't spoken in years. The Court of Owls changes that. This is a good look at how Bruce gets in his own way in his relationships and also features an excellent Robin!Jason.

Meeting the Family by ProsperDemeter
This is a really sweet (I mean, tooth-achingly sweet) series where Dick is much younger when his parents die and Bruce takes him in, and Clark is instantly Uncle Clark and completely happy about it.

something's gotta turn out right by Nokomis
Steph and Jason get trapped in a sewer together and bond. Then everyone thinks they're dating. Two adorable Steph/Jason stories! <333

The Study of Birds by MaskoftheRay
Tim and Damian find they have something in common, and slowly learn to negotiate their relationship around it. This is lovely.

successor by envysparkler
Tim figures out Jason is back before his murder spree, and therefore reunions happen in a more timely fashion.

Temporary by daringyounggrayson
This is a really sweet retelling of the story of how Bruce ended up fostering Dick.

un haeng il chi by danishsweethearts
This is a really beautiful look at Cass and her relationships with her siblings and Steph. <333
