The Good Place

The Contractualism of Fair Play and Hot Wings by

Rockinlibrarian
Michael's got the perfect torture idea during a chili-pepper-based-restaurant-themed reboot: a hot wings eating competition! The humans would actually, willingly, compete to see who can burn themselves more! And competition always brings out the worst in humans, right? ...Right? Feels like it could slot right into the show!

Star Wars

Well It Goes Like This by

orphan_account
At the end of it all, the thing is: Palpatine breaks his heart.

(or the one where Anakin makes the hard choice, the right choice, the other choice. Then he keeps making it.) Anakin! On the run from the Empire! With a gaggle of Jedi younglings! This is adorable! (if in need of a good beta)

In Which Jason and Chidi Rob a Bank by

Rockinlibrarian
Chidi ponders the greater goods and lesser evils and may even come to (*gasp*) a decision about them. This is fun!

The Real Actual Human Life of Michael Realman by

1001paperboxes
Michael was a living, breathing, blood-pumping, organ-having human.

Goodbye fire squid, hello silver fox. Nice look at what Michael's life as a human might be like.

A really lovely series of snapshots of life in the Good Place.

Grace and Frankie

to know even in the deepest sleep that it is you by

millepertuis
Frankie has always had that effect on Grace, even before they liked each other, even before they made a home together: she makes Grace daring—a little too much, sometimes.

So it was Grace who pushed back, this time.

And Frankie didn't meet her there. this is really lovely.

esprit sur le toit (rooftop wit) by

funnefatale
The first thing she’s going to do when finals are finished, Steph decides, is hunt down every last paparazzi and throw batarangs at their cameras. Maybe their computers too while she’s at it. Whatever it takes to make sure she’s never written about again. Because, as it turns out, way too many people are invested in her love life. This is super cute!

Avengers/Brooklyn Nine-Nine

I'm Going Your Way Anyway by

gwyneth
"You got my name from Barton—you a friend of his?" She was glad to know that Barton had kept his word and used her most recent alias.

"Live in his building." Rosa nodded—he was the only Avenger who lived in Brooklyn besides Captain America, and the only one she'd ever met when she fixed up his purple Barracuda. It made her feel bad, sometimes, that she'd never told Jake about that, since he got so stupid about the Avengers all the time, but then the second of guilt would pass. Adorable crossover where Bucky and Rosa strike up an acquaintance.

"Is this heaven?" He laughs a little, as if to show that he's joking.

"My little corner thereof, you might say." Aziraphale smiles back. Chidi visits Aziraphale's bookshop. Oh heart. And the two sequels are here and here.

Rivers of London

The Legend Continues by

laiqualaurelote
Sahra doesn’t want to be legendary swordswoman of Chinatown. She just wants to learn new skills. If that means apprenticing herself to a man who sleeps on a piece of string, never has to pay for bubble tea and generates an unnecessary amount of unresolved sexual tension, then so be it. I enjoyed this A LOT.

The Good, the Bad, and the Fashionable by

Bad Janet wants a makeover, and finds a way to get Good Janet to help. This does exactly what the show does - takes a simple premise and then deepens it unexpectedly. I actually felt bad for Bad Janet!

I enjoyed this slice of life look at Chidi and Jason's friendship. It's odd, but it works for them.

Meanwhile, In Attempt #218 by

One way reboot 218 could have gone, with really good Tahani characterization.

Performance Review by

randomizer
Judge Gen has her performance review. This is both funny and spot-on for ridiculous performance eval jargon, and the ending is perfect.

the pleasure principle by

AU where Tahani accepts Eleanor's offer to share her motel room, AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES. Lovely slow burn - hot, sweet, and in character.
