Summary
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
****
“70 …” 68 said slowly, taken off-guard. 70 wasn’t a brother normally inclined towards ghost-tales. “Ben isn’t real. He’s just a baby story--something the tubies like to pretend is real.”70 shook his head, his face set in stubborn lines. “He might not be. No, listen--” he gave 74 a glare when it looked like his brother wanted to interrupt again. “I’ve heard the stories, and they’re always the same. The tubies all know what he looks like. They all know he’s a jetii, before anyone ever told them what a jetii was. You know how the longnecks keep batches of tubies separate. There’s no way any of us, or any of the older vod, could have told them about him. But it doesn’t matter. All the batches know about Ben.”

He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian by ErinPtah

Summary
Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood).
But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.

Summary
“They must receive an allowance from the Order,” Kote said.
“How much, then?” Rex asked up at him.
Kote tipped his head and just stared into Rex’s eyes endlessly, the way he did when people asked him questions that made him want to swallow them whole with their own ignorance.
“No way of knowing without intrusive measures,” he determined.
“We gotta ask one,” Bly translated for Rex.
(The troopers make a discovery of the fiscal variety, which causes them to realize that they may have more in common with the jedi than they previously thought.)

Summary
The Council had had less than three full days’ notice that Initiate Kenobi had been demanded back by his parents before the date their “emmisaries” were going to arrive to claim him. Three days hadn’t been much, not nearly long enough, but they’d tried.
Three days went by—more than enough time to reach Stewjon from Coruscant, even with the hazards in the densely populated Deep Core... Yaddle started to feel a sense of disquiet, of unease.
Something had gone wrong.
-
Sure, keeping the Jetii’adiik really would be a bit dini’la, but… Well, Jango had always wanted to be the ori’vod, for once.
“You want to… adopt me,” Obi-Wan said slowly, blinking at Jaster.
-
No, Ben thought, this hadn’t gone quite to plan, but looking at his new family (sweet Force), Ben was more than satisfied with the outcome.

An expansion from the one-shot collection, because I have zero self control and all of you lovely readers are enablers! XD

Summary
“My name is Obi-Wan Kenobi, leader of the Young.” Obi-wan repeated, unwavering. “And I must speak to the Mand’alor about an urgent threat to his life.”
“How did you get this comm code, child?” the Mandalorian said, a disapproving tilt to his helmet.
“I am a General,” Obi-wan snapped, impatience taking over. “And I have limited time before Kyr'tsad breaks down the door. I’d very much like to get this sorted before then.”

Summary
“And what do you know about it?” was the snarled response. Not promising. Murtagh looked truly miserable. Despite the lack of exertion, he gleamed with sweat, and a thick, sweet smell was rolling off of him in waves. Ointment or magic? Distracting, certainly. It made something in Eragon’s stomach tighten.
“I know that we can help you,” Eragon shot back.
Murtagh laughed, harsh and low. “I would not have expected the offer from you.”
Murtagh goes into heat. Arya’s plan for how to handle it goes off the rails immediately.

“Viktor, hey,” Jayce tried again, reaching up to brush Viktor’s cheek. When he felt wetness at the corner of his eye, Jayce froze. For a moment, the low buzzing sound of the alchemical lights was deafening.
And then, Viktor began to cry.

Summary
“I’m on a pilgrimage!” Alina said. “It’s just… it’s what we do! All the eldest and most staid of my sisters have done it. We get restless, and we know it’s time to fall, so we come down here and we find the thing that completes us, whatever we lack that has left us feeling so out of sorts. A purpose. And I came down here, and everyone immediately seemed so certain of my purpose, of what I could do, and who I came here for. You all handed me the instructions on your doorstep. So I thought it would be easy!"
--
Alina isn't a Sun Summoner, but a fallen star. The only problem is, no one knows that fallen stars are a thing that exist - least of all the Black Heretic.

Summary
The only reason Sasuke keeps coming back to Konoha is because of that mattress. The bed is his only respite. And perhaps the dumbass who owns said bed might be worth it, too.
Or, another canon divergence 699 that showers Sasuke with too much (deserved) love and attention that we all need for these unprecedented times.
Title means "Bonded Light". It'll make sense when you're about 100K in.

Summary
Post unmaking and remaking. Dream has been oblivious to the needs of his creation, and Corinthian voices his longing, loneliness, and misery for the first time. It becomes a healing time for both of them. Include a very intense scene that isn't /just/ sex, though it very much resembles sex haha. I'm not sure how I feel about sharing my erotic writing in public but since it is anonymous, I will give it a go. Might take down in future, idk.

Summary
His freedom seemed all too good to be true. His allies, albeit with their own quirks and damages, were the only allies he’d ever had. Now one of them was desecrating a corpse in the woods.
And by the way he’s looking at you, boy, I’d say you’re next.
--
Days after his abduction and meeting his new allies, Astarion catches Tav in the middle of performing a gruesome slaughter. When Tav offers the starving vampire some fresh blood in exchange for keeping this quiet, a new alliance forms. Over time, they discover how deep their similarities go, and how much they need each other to be free from the shackles of the monsters that bind them.

Summary
The kid was going to die at this rate, whether or not Jason had anything to do with it. Apparently dead Robins were just a thing, now, and Bruce didn’t give a shit whether they lived or died.
There was something almost comforting about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
There was something fucking infuriating about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
Well. If those fucks didn’t care about their baby bird now, Jason would just have to make them care. And he had a few ideas on just how to do that.
Robin might get a little broken in the process, but what was a little kidnapping and torture between friends?
***
a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Steph. And Dick. And Cass. And...
Jason may have a problem.
Less crack-y than it sounds. This is mainly hurt, angst, and reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come! There *will* be a happy ending.

Summary
“My life is a nightmare,” Dabi muttered blankly.
“Nah, this is hilarious,” Hawks said, and while he wasn’t explicitly laughing, Dabi knew that those weird little chirps he was letting out were pointed at him. “Imagine if we go through all this effort and you don’t even have some sort of dramatic background or tragic backstory to justify you being this emo, you’re just a hot topic junkie or something.”
“That’s fucking worse.”
Or,
Dabi has amnesia and keeps reading conspiracy theories about himself in an attempt to figure out who he is, gets the League in on it, and they dismantle organized crime, revolutionize society, and ravage the hero system in the process. Hawks suffers.

Civil Wars, Whistleblower Tactics, Schematic Drafting, And The Finer Points Of Sith Adoption: The Essential How-To Guide For The Engineering Jedi by Jackdaw_Kraai
Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
28 Jul 2024
Summary
When Luke Skywalker—operating under the name of Luke Lars—accepts a job offer from none other than Darth Vader to become the next Head Engineer aboard his flagship, The Executor, a.k.a. The Lady, he hardly expected his life to take as much of a turn as it did.
Learning how to navigate his way through the microcosm of culture that is the Lady, Luke finds that life is far from quiet in his new home. Friendships and rivalries are made, inventions and politics throw everything into disarray, and throughout it all, Luke and Vader slowly find themselves drawn closer to each other, much to the relief and awe of many of the Lady's crewmembers.
Follow our favorite engineer from the twin suns as he goes from strangers, to friends, to adoptive family with his mysterious new mentor, and changes the face of the galaxy forever in the process. There are mysteries about the past to be unraveled, inventions to be made, wars to be fought, and family bonds to be forged in the fires of revolution and rebellion.
They say that Darth Vader has no heart, that the Empire and its Emperor are eternal, that the Jedi are dead and gone, and that nothing will ever change.
"They" have obviously never met Luke Skywalker before.

Summary
A loose retelling of the plot of Baldur’s Gate 3 told from the perspective of my female Durge, Kalliope. Kalliope is a “Way of the Shadows” tiefling monk.
She doesn’t understand these bloodthirsty desires or thoughts, but sees their use in battle. Her monastic teachings are very contradictory to this seductive, dark muse in her mind that urges her to “KILL-MAIM-END!”
__________
Sample:“I do believe, my plant-happy friend, that we’ve just shared everything we know with you. Now, are you going to help us or not?” Astarion sounds as nervous and impatient as you feel.
[…]
Nettie’s lips thin into a tight grimace.
“…Kalliope…” tries Gale.
“No. I’m not taking poison from a woman I can’t trust. You’ve done nothing but deceive us since we crossed that threshold,” you flick your hand angrily, pointing to the door you passed through just moments before. “Despite us answering every question that you asked.”
The dark whisper snakes up the back of your skull, the killing calm begins warming and filling your body.
“It’s just for insurance,” tries Nettie once more, “take it only if you feel yourself changing.”
You sneer. And then, your vision goes red.

Summary
“It’s too bad you’re not secretly some rich fuck, laddie,” Seamus mused with his chin in his hand, “You could always just buy the place yourself, or build your own.”
Hob sat up so suddenly the barstool wobbled like the lip of a preschooler. The world only spun a little as he pointed a semi dramatic finger at Old Seamus. “That’s it Seamus, old chap! I’ll just buy the place!” Seamus of course only chuckled at him.
“Oh aye? With what, the vast wealth you’ve accumulated over an immortal lifetime? Yer drunk, boy.”Series
