Batgirl/Community

Advanced Secret Identities by

goldenrod
There are reports of shadowy forces and a copycat Batman in Colorado. Batgirl is sent to investigate, and in the process discovers a new friend, a co-dependent study group, and a place that rivals Arkham Asylum for sheer lunacy. This was fun!

Spider-Man/Superman

Unforeseen Consequences by

mysterycyclone
Tony Stark saves the world. He dies minutes later. Peter comes back from the battle to a world that’s changed three times over: first with the Snap and his death, the next with the Reverse Snap that ends the Blip, and one more change, courtesy of an accidental thought during the Reverse Snap: the unification of two separate universes into one. This last results in a physically larger planet, and several new cities, fully formed and inhabited, popping into existence around the world. Gotham City. Metropolis, Keystone City. A few others.

Peter takes this news the only way he can: he accepts it and moves on. So he does. Peter is still reeling from the war against Thanos, but he keeps pushing forward. The realities of this new world find him later, when he visits Metropolis with J. Jonah Jameson for a conference. Spidey meets Superman. Oh heart.

Stratigraphic Context by

Aderam
"What's the plan?" John asked, redirecting the muzzle of the large gun towards the floor and pointedly taking it from Sam's hand.

"Run for the nearest exit," Sam offered ruefully, leading the way into the hallway. She could hear John's huff of disapproval behind her even over the sounds of people running in their direction.

"I don't think I like your plan," he replied. Post-movie John and Sam for me! I like how they keep rescuing each other, and I hope that they have a peaceful future free of UAC, and this story gives me both of those things. <3

The Art of Bluffing by

CousinShelley
"You're going to sit there until I fall asleep, aren't you? Staring me into submission."

"You wanted to be alone. In Hawkeye logic, that means you don't want to be alone. So I'm going to sit here, yes." She slipped her hand under the edge of the covers and took his, holding it firmly, thumb brushing over the back. "But if you tell anybody I've gone soft and tucked you in, I'll mix castor oil into your still."

"Blasphemer." Really lovely look at Hawkeye and Margaret's friendship. The ending definitely made me tear up. *sniff*

Hark the Herald Reptiles Sing by

Bow
"You see, in essentials we are not so very different. I believe it comes from—your previous life," she says smugly. "There's a kind of affinity between a good surgeon and a talented painter. You grow accustomed to looking inside of people, to seeing on levels that normal people can't reach. Pulling bodies to pieces."

"Some of us do our best to reassemble them," says Joan Joan and Moriarty share some similarities but it's the differences that are most important. Really nicely done.

Legend of Korra

psocoptera
Korra confronts the implications of energybending. Exactly what the summary says. Thought-provoking.

Understated, sweet, and lovely Morgan/Garcia story where Garcia owns a coffee shop instead of working for the BAU.

Guided by the Beauty of Our Weapons by

cjmarlowe
"Well, the nature of our relationship to one another is complicated," said Joan. "Even for your father—who does care about you, by the way, even if he doesn't show it in typical ways—who knows the particulars of my former employment."

"He thinks we should be clearer about the delineation between the personal and the professional."

"Well, I can't argue with that in principle," said Joan, "but since when do we let ourselves be defined by anyone else?"

"Since always," said Sherlock. "I believe that might actually be the definition of definition."

"Well, then it's time we stopped," said Joan. "You're my friend, and my employer, and my mentor, and I am your friend and your colleague and your sounding board. We can be all of those things, as long as we understand the nature of each of them."

"Clear boundaries," said Sherlock. "Consideration. Trust. Occasional bowls of late night ice cream."

Joan smiled at him. "I think we're getting the hang of it." During a case drought, Sherlock and Joan continue to negotiate their relationship. Nice slice-of-life story.

cj cregg meets margaret houlihan by

raven
"What's a community organiser, anyway," she says, "isn't that what we all do, if we're worth anything. I'm a nurse, Ms. Cregg. These days, more of a midwife."

"A midwife?" CJ repeats, again feeling useless and tired.

"Some things take longer to be born than others," Margaret says, and smiles, softly. "Good luck." *sobs*

Harry Potter/Avengers

Rise and Join a New Order by

igrockspock
Natasha Romanov is the Dark Lord's best assassin...until she's sent to kill the best fighter of the Order of the Phoenix, Clint Barton. Cool Avengers/HP fusion where Natasha gets recruited to the side of the good guys in a slightly different way.

well-behaved women seldom make history by

Raven
Right from the very beginning, she resolved to make the best of it. And having resolved to make the best of it, she made the best of cockroaches in the shower and scratching noises inside her tent; she made the best of Hawkeye Pierce and his Groucho Marx impersonations and his frightening disregard for everything and everyone; she made some clear-eyed decisions, her first night in camp, about herself and what she wanted and where she wanted to be, and made the best of Frank Burns. Five times Margaret Houlihan was really proud of herself. This is wonderful. <333

The Big Bang Theory

The Paladin Protocol by SpaceAnJL
Long, satisfying, if a little overly repetitive (and full of unnecessary emotional exposition) story that takes what Leonard and the others did to Sheldon's research seriously, as a cruel "joke" that had serious consequences, and melds that with a lovely, believable burgeoning Penny/Sheldon romance.

~*~

Parasol Protectorate

Corps-a-Corps by

violet_quill
Biffy and Lyall fence. Nicely subtexty.

Fringe

Olivia... In the Bathroom... With a Razor by

ziparumpazoo
Peter's always fancied himself as a smooth-talking ladies man with a 'Sweetheart' thrown in here or there to either charm or provoke, depending on his target, but he's starting to suspect Olivia prefers more of a James Garner over his Humphrey Bogart act. I enjoyed this a lot.

MASH

these are the days of miracle and wonder by

raven

There are women everywhere on the Mall, camped out and lined up and standing holding their signs: Women Need Constitutional Equality Now; Say Yes to the ERA. Hawkeye's stuffing ballot boxes for it up in Maine now. When they first started organising he sent her a cheque with an obscene message on the back; Margaret cashed it for the VA and sent him a note, put that damn mouth where your money is, Pierce. She misses him. *sniffle* Hawkeye et al, before, during, after. This is like checking in with old friends to see what they've been up to while you've been apart. Lovely.

Charles discovers a musical prodigy at the orphanage, and wants to do something about her. Oh, my heart. (Could use another beta go-round, but nothing too egregious.)

Sports Night

The Late Greats by

scrunchy
The Sports Night gang at a Halloween party. Wonderful. "Frankenstein," Casey bowed to her.

"The doctor. Not the monster, of course," Jeremy grinned. "Cunning."

Casey looked crestfallen.

"Just saying, if the whole reason you decided to be Victor Frankenstein was to get people into a situation where you could give them a little speech about how 'Frankenstein' refers to the man and not his monster, Casey, then I'm sorry, but you won't get me."

"Dan told you."

"Dan told me," Jeremy said.

A Basket of Cellophane by threeguesses
Adorable Charlie/Ted story. gets the voices just right. I don't even ship them, but Ted is totally the wife.

Three-Card Monte by

inlovewithnight
The mental image of himself is pleasantly pathetic, a beaten man who learned his lesson the hard way. He could be a cautionary tale. A comfortable, drunk cautionary tale with easy access to decent porn. Charlie takes Ted and Dani to Vegas. Ted wonders why. Smart look at all three of them through Ted's eyes, with spot-on characterization.

Exactly what it says on the tin. *sniffle* It's all so perfectly Charles, too. Haughty and yet underneath, a heart.

The Philadelphia Story

Moonlight Sonata by

pepperlandgirl4
Tracy made a glorious bride. She glowed, her happiness too great to be contained within the boundaries of her body. It broke from her, spreading like sunshine, until it touched every guest. They got drunk from it, like they were drinking the finest champagne. Of course, many of them were. But Mike was convinced everybody would be a little tipsy, even without the benefit of alcohol. After the wedding, Mike goes swimming with the bride and groom. Lovely, with wonderfully in character narration.

BJ, in the aftermath. It was just war. It was just death. It was just Korea. Heartbreaking and true.

Strange Bedfellows by Lyrastar
This was hilarious, and really captured the anarchic humor and the underlying sadness of the show. I think it's weakened by the sex scene – that felt completely unnecessary to me – but overall, a fine story.

This is like a perfect little mini-episode of Northern Exposure. The characterization rings so very true, and it's just so cute and funny.

Josh is back, and he's taking Biff to Disney World. Pitch-perfect voice and tone, funny and wistful at the same time.
