There, Ling is trying to find more allies in the political scuffle in his country and has decided that even the few republicans could be useful.

    Summary

    Ген Асагири — один из самых разыскиваемых преступников страны. Сэнку Ишигами — глава Спецподразделения Бюро национальной безопасности. Вот уже семь лет они преследуют друг друга в каком-то странном изобретательном танце из мести и справедливости, пока в один прекрасный день Ген не обнаруживает Сэнку на своём пороге — уставшего, забитого и явно истекающего кровью.

    Кажется, ему нужна его помощь.
    Просто смехотворно.

    Конечно, Ген поможет.

    Summary

    In Xing all appears calm for the time being. The status quo might be unstable, but it is holding for the moment, which means Ling can enjoy becoming a father. Edward and Alphonse are departing Central on their two month journeys to Xing, Creta and Aurego. Meanwhile the government of Amestris is potentially facing its first crisis, which came from the unlikeliest source. However, it is in Ishval, where this might cause the biggest problems.

    Summary

    The New Governments of Amestris and Xing are taking their deserved places. In the West they are preparing to restore Ishval and democracy, establish peace with their neighbours, and, hopefully, not bankrupt themselves in the process. Meanwhile in Xing they now have the awkward combination of a Reigning Emperor and a Retired Emperor - surely nothing bad can come of this. (This story occurs concurrently with Facts of Love, which is about the events in Resembool with focus, but not exclusively, on Edward and Winry.)

    Summary

    "There is one final thing." Adora trails off, unsure how to word the request—she’s never asked for something so selfish. She feels her allies stiffen at her back.

    "What more could you Eternians possibly want?" Queen C'yra's voice is rude, vitriol oozing into every syllable. Her chest heaves as she tries to collect herself.

    Adora points directly at the fiercest warrior the Magicats have, all fire and brimstone on the battlefield. She can't imagine leaving her behind, locked away in this tiny fiefdom.

    "I want her," Adora states simply. There are murmurs of outrage throughout the room.

    "My daughter? As your slave?" The Queen hisses from her belly a deep sound that would have intimidated most. Adora rolls her eyes at the mischaracterization. She looks at who she now knows is the Princess, she would clearly never be a slave to any mortal.

    "No obviously not. I would not insult you that way, your majesty. I meant as my mate. You do have mates here in Halfmoon?"

    OR

    Princess Adora the General of the Eternian Empire wishes to claim Princess Catra as her mate. Will they be able to overcome their poltical differences to find love? Decolonization AU.

Long is the Road into the 'Land abundant in Milk and Honey.'

    Summary

    Major Character Death occurs in the first chapter, then the time travel fix-it tag activates.

    The thing that most people across all timelines didn't realize, and that Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange tried desperately to forget, was that to do what he did in the fight against Thanos he needed to live through fourteen million, six hundred and five lives first. He didn't look on from the outside like some omnipotent specter nor observe everything in fast forward, but instead experienced each one as himself in a possible timeline.

    His mental health hasn't held up all that well.

    Summary

    Podfic of marry me a little by susiecarter.

    "No, it's fine," Julian said automatically. "But, Garak, is everything all right?"

    "Captain Sisko wanted to see me," Garak said—which was so conspicuous a refusal to answer the question Julian had asked that it almost didn't qualify as an evasion. He pulled out the chair opposite Julian, and sat.

    "Captain Sisko? Why?"

    "Well, apparently," Garak said, "Cardassia has lodged a formal request with the Federation for my extradition."

    (Or: Garak has a problem. Julian marries him to fix it. Except that means Julian also has a problem, albeit of a very different kind.)

    Summary

    Viserys dies shortly after his beloved wife Aemma. Daemon Targaryen, his brother and heir, takes the throne, as well as what he wants: his niece Rhaenyra.

    “My brother left you to me, princess. That means I have the rights of a father over you.”

    “Some father,” she snarls, slapping his hand as it reaches for the laces of her gown, only for him to grab both her wrists and pin them above her head. He pulls her up just a little too hard — why is he so damned strong — she’s stretched almost to tiptoe, helpless before his gaze. But she’s only lost her freedom, not her voice. “Some rights —”

    Summary

    It is Dragon 9:37, and war has begun. For two years the mage Viscountess of Kirkwall, Caitlyn Hawke, fought violence and obstruction as she expanded mage rights. But at last she and her husband Anders assassinated Meredith Stannard and declared the Kirkwall Circle independent, inspiring more Circle rebellions. Now the chantries of the northern Free Marches have declared a schism due to Divine Justinia’s support of Hawke, with former Grand Cleric Elthina as its “Divine.” Justinia cannot help, as the Templars and Seekers who aren’t joining the schism only care about keeping the other Circles in line. Caitlyn, Anders, the rebels, and their allies must fight the war alone.

    Challenges arise at home too. With an ambitious anti-war Coterie boss undermining Caitlyn from one side, mage supremacists from the other, and Grand Cleric Petrice urging Caitlyn to deal with foes ruthlessly, she is tempted more than ever to be a despot. Anders wants to help her keep to the light... but by 9:39, he has his own struggle, a dark voice that will not let him or Justice alone.

    (Canon-divergent Mage-Templar War that’s still mostly compatible with Asunder. Reading Parts 1 and 2 of the Spells series is advised.)

    Summary

    All Stiles wanted was to enjoy a drink at Pandemonium with his best friend and maybe end the night with a pretty human - or maybe a werewolf, it'd been a minute - to celebrate the end of his college career. Instead he got Clary Fray suddenly manifesting Sight, Shadowhunters all over the place, and the Circle popping back up like the dimension's least-likable jack-in-the-box. He'd hidden from the others of his kind all his life with the exception of his mentor and he had zero intention of getting sucked into Shadow World, Downworld, or the Inter-Realm, Multidimensional politics that was anything to do with demons, nephilim, and the Fae.

    Too bad fate had other plans, including a warlock who wore glitter like he was born with it and a shadowhunter who should not have a smile that sweet and shy.

    If he didn't know better, he'd think Ragnor cursed him after their last argument over Stiles's habit of locking away his heart, but he did know better.

    Even Ragnor Fell couldn't have planned for how swiftly Stiles's world could implode and all because one girl didn't have the sense to look the other way when Shadowhunters and demons were roaming the night.
