Summary
“If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.”
--Gail SheehyIt seemed to Sollux that his brother Mituna was the best--he was popular, he was smart, he was athletic, he was attractive, and yet that all changed after a fateful accident which resulted in Mituna permanently damaging his brain, and issues that would stay with him for the rest of his life--and, by extension, Sollux's life too.
That was three years ago. Today, Sollux is fighting to keep his disabled brother out of trouble but at the same time out of his sight, to keep his friends from breaking into pieces, and to keep his family and his family's bee farm from failing--all while trying to navigate through the hellish high waters of high school, puberty, and young love, just as any other teenager.
*I haven't tagged certain ships or warnings due to spoilers for the fic. I'll post warnings in the author's notes if they apply to that chapter. *

Summary
"To Sebastian, Grandda was warm and jovial, and sometimes he would lift Sebastian up to sit on his broad knee and he would listen to the stories that Ma or Da had no time for, asking questions and laughing his great, deep, rich laugh that shook through Sebastian's chest and left him feeling loved."
Sebastian had to pick up his talent for archery somewhere, right? This is headcanon about the relationship between Sebastian and his grandfather, and how that relationship shaped Sebastian's character. A few minor canon details have been shuffled around to suit the plot, but nothing material.

Summary
"How's the forty-second state?" asked a voice almost as familiar to him as his own. Cory. Matthew's eyebrows raised even as his shoulders relaxed slightly. (A counter-intuitive reaction, given how much trouble Cory tended to trail in his wake, but it was always nice to have proof-of-life.)

Bookmarker's Notes
This fic is all done in the style of epic verse! A inspiring, thought-provoking proposal to cherish both one's virtues and one's vices. Novel, indeed!
A refreshingly non-legalistic take on morality/religious virtues.

Let us consider the fact that the Jedi Order is a monastic religious organization based out of a temple, with five basic tenets of faith.
Ch 1: Death, yet the Force (meeting Anakin)
Ch 2: Chaos, yet Harmony (teaching Anakin)
Ch 3: Passion, yet Serenity (teaching a teenaged Anakin, good grief)
Ch 4: Ignorance, yet Knowledge (Anakin is a Knight now, why is he still Obi-Wan’s problem?)
Ch 5: Heresy, yet Orthodoxy (actual plot? Ie, Clones and Sith)
Ch 6: Emotion, yet Peace (epilog)Ch 7: extras / deleted scenes

Rated by Proper Dave to be his Fourth-Favourite-Sherlock-Fic of all time. A boring story, with certainly an element of comedy, about the stuff between the lines.

Bookmarker's Notes
Possibly one of the most important pieces of fanfiction ever written, and probably one that few will dare to experience. This story does more than entertain; it teaches. It shines a light on the things that really matter, both Within the Narrative and in life.

Summary
Hanzo would never believe that Hana Song could give such stellar advice or display such wisdom beyond her years. He never expected to make a home for himself among the members of Overwatch. To make peace and find hope in life once again.
But he did.
He also never expected to get lassoed onto a mission with the most reckless, infuriating, irritating man he'd ever meet.
A man in serious need of some guidance.
With Hanzo Shimada as his best bet for a clear head? Not being weird is a lot harder than it sounds.Author's note: This work is not officially completed and has a very round-about ending. I do not plan on ever writing a true final chapter but would still consider the work worth reading. Thanks!

Bookmarker's Notes
John schools not-quite-Uncle Sherlock in the mysteries of babysitting a 7-month-old. Sherlock realizes that his own impulses and baby Watson's are often similar.
begin quote Sherlock looked down at Gemma who was craning her neck to look back at the fish, and turned so she could see them better.“What now?” he said to John. “How do I entertain her?”
“She is entertained,” said John. “Look at her face.”
Sherlock looked down. She was rapt. He frowned. “Merely from watching?”
John shrugged. “Observation,” he said. “It's not like I haven't see you entertained by an hour or two of watching crowds.”
“Do you think she's deducing?” asked Sherlock.
“Probably not,” said John. “You'll have to teach her how when she's a bit older.”
Sherlock imagined that. He rather liked the idea of passing on his skills to someone who was not yet so set in their thinking that they refused to stretch their minds. quote ends
