Summary
“These are the images the media most often presents to us, making it all too easy to forget that beyond the patriotic facade, beyond the singular act of heroism we like to recall of a young man desperate to take up his country’s cause, Captain Rogers was a brilliant strategist with an eidetic memory and,” you paused and chuckled, unable to help yourself, “Somewhat known for being a major pain in the backside to his superiors.”

Summary
When the Human natal sun started to turn really red, it wasn’t that big a deal at first. It’s a very important, very sad event for any species, but it happens to everyone eventually.
Then the Elves sent us a message.
(A "what if humans are space orcs" take on Dagor Dagorath.)

Summary
Jessamine isn’t used to getting her hands dirty. There are people on staff at Dunwall Tower whose entire job is to make sure it never happens – but she isn’t in Dunwall Tower any more. Her Spymaster is slaughtering her people, and she’s in the gutter far below, trying to fathom a way to reach up so she can bury him in the diseased muck he created. Six months ago, she died. But she still has a job to do, a daughter to find. If she has to turn her hands black with the Void to save her family and her Empire, she will do it.

Summary
“Corvo, I can't do this anymore,” Piero says. “I know, I know, I was the one who gave the terms on our first meeting, but this... arrangement of ours. I can't keep up with you.”
The workshop looks like it was recently vacated by a dragon. Piles of money glitter beneath tables and in corners. Loose coins can be found jammed into delicate machinery and sitting at the bottom of Piero's morning coffee. A mixed heap of Overseer masks and raw munitions walls off the table across from the entrance. A line of rolled-up paintings leans against the stairway.
Corvo shrugs – not his problem – and goes on emptying his pockets onto Piero's floor.
It takes most of an hour.

Summary
Ezio said, “She is his; the Gift the Apple bestowed upon him.”
Not knowledge and the ability to use it, as Altaïr had asked, or for renewed youth and purpose, as Ezio had. No, when holding the Apple and the ability to wish for anything he desired, Desmond had humbly asked for nothing more and nothing less than the smallest of companions. One that he knew. One that he’d lost, at some point in his too few years. One who was more than willing to cross time and space to be at his side again.

Twelve Lies I Told Shingen Takeda by Twelfth_Night_Project

Summary
Courier, scout, daredevil, housemaid … liar: Katsuko has had many identities in the seven years since a wormhole sent her back in time to feudal Japan. After she and her mentor Akihira help Shingen Takeda fight off bandits, “Katsu” finds herself working for Shingen as a messenger.
He thinks she’s a boy.
She thinks he’s the biggest womanizer in the province.
But there are others forces at work – an old enemy is closing in, her new boss has a fatal secret, an assassination plot threatens the lives of Katsu’s new friends, war is on the horizon… and that’s just in this timeline. With all that going on, it’s good that he doesn’t know she’s a woman.
Isn’t it?
Loosely inspired by William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night… and Othello (because, Kenshin).
Ignore the kudos count - I've been hit by "the bot."
