Summary
Azula, his baby sister, the one person he’s never been able to save, who he loathes and wants dead and loves more than anything.
(A desperate plea for her to join him even though he was already long gone. He’s a coward. He’s pathetic.
He’s her brother.)

Zuko is trapped in the caves with Sokka instead, and ends up joining the Gaang early. Azula goes home empty handed. Somehow, they still find their way back to each other.Bookmarked by ElsaFowl

Summary
Vivi was a worrier. She didn’t want to be. It was exhausting, always fighting back against the voice in the corner of her mind. That little voice that started as just a whisper, offering the slightest suggestion that things could go wrong. Just one disaster away from snowballing into the worst case scenario. She knew it was irrational, just her anxiety and fear getting the better of her, but right now she felt the voice was right—and she didn’t know how to drown it out. Nami might die. Nami was dying. And it was her fault. If they never met, Nami wouldn’t be on her deathbed right now.

Summary
“Who better to stand in my stead, to stand as the Crown,” Viserys raises his hands, like he’s about to shock them all with his wisdom, “Than its trueborn heir.”
Rhaenyra preens at the praise, the recognition. “Thank you, Father.”
“And the Queen.”
The smile drops from her face.
OR
[Post-1x06] The King sends Rhaenyra and Alicent to strengthen ties with the North. Alicent lasts two days with a chill that reaches her bones; and then she finds a solution.
(the bed-sharing fix-it that wonders if dragon blood really runs that hot)

Bookmarker's Notes
Fanfic so good it should be a published book + I literally read it twice, which is a RARITY for me. Truly, a gem. Rhaenyra & Alicent are so well characterised and written, but we also don't loose the complexity and darkness of the HotD world and politics, but we also get a happy ending that truly makes sense. So yeah, can't say much else without spoiling stuff, but if you haven't read this story yet you better get started ASAP! ✨️❤️

Summary
“I hope you’ll eventually share your secret–” Robin’s mind is blank just looking at Nancy’s upturned gaze through her long lashes, yet she continues talking.
Nancy cocks her head at her, “Secret?”
“To getting everyone to fall in love with you.”Or: Robin Buckley cannot stop talking whenever Nancy Wheeler is around.

My comment:
"THIS IS MY NEW CANON 😍 Spirits, it would have been so simple to make these scenes fit into the actual plot of s04. Like, for real, you wrote it seamlessly, why was that so hard to do for the actual writers of the show?
SPOILERS PART
But yeah, one part I truly love is how they're able to communicate about liking (loving ❤️) each other without even saying a thing. Nancy's "I don't believe you" is such a great illustration of, not only Nancy's investigative mind, but also of her no-nonsense attitude. And Robin's "You're right. I know what I meant" is also such a great response, because it, not only validates Nancy's claim (and like, I love how Robin is always the one to support Nancy's in her investigative efforts - while other characters like Jonathan or Steve or even Mike don't believe her or trust her), but also really makes Robin be the brave person she is. I always felt like Robin didn't... really believe in her own bravery. Like she thinks she's only helping because she was at the right time right place (or more like, wrong time wrong place, but whatever) and not because she's a truly good person. She's scared, for sure, but she still goes with them to the Upside Down and she wants to help. And even outside of the overall plot against Vecna, Robin is also pretty damn brave with her feelings and who she is. It's a process sure (one we do discover more in her POV book, "Rebel Robin"), but she's probably one of the bravest and emotionally aware characters in the show. I mean, compare Robin to people like Nancy, or Jonathan, or Mike, or even Steve? She seems pretty self-aware. And I love that.
Nancy pushes for the conversation and won't let it go. But it's actually Robin saying the words - starting the conversation in the Creel's house, and finishing it by admitting the truth to Nancy. I LOVE IT !!!
END OF THE SPOILERS PART
I'm bookmarking this, I truly thank you for sharing your work with us. ✨️ Hope I'll be reading more Ronance from you soon, but until then, take care ! Byyyyyyyye"

Summary
The thing was dead.
Very dead. Extremely dead. So dead that Robin was pretty sure it had been dead for at least thirty seconds now, which was approximately twenty-nine seconds longer than Robin had expected to be alive, so that was—that was good. Great. Fantastic. They'd won. They were alive. The monster was not.
OR: The one where Nancy Wheeler invents a reward system, Robin Buckley becomes emotionally attached to a crowbar.

Summary
Nancy Wheeler doesn’t like being touched.
At least, that’s what Steve, Mike, and Jonathan have always believed. Each of them learning her careful rules in different ways.
So when Robin Buckley enters their lives and Nancy’s rules begin to dissolve, they’re the first to notice.
A story told through observations.

Summary
Robin Buckley sees dead people. To her, it’s just one more reason on the long list of reasons why she’s a freak. So far, the only bonus is her best friend, Steve, who died 10 years ago. So, it still kinda sucks.
Until Will Byers’ body is found in the quarry and she realises she can’t find his ghost anywhere. Will Byers is not dead.
Something is afoot in Hawkins.

My comment on this story (CAREFUL IT HAS SOME IMPORTANT SPOILERS, but the summary is IT'S GREAT AND GO READ IT):
"You know, your story is what makes me believe that Steve dying in the canon story could actually work. Sure the context is different - he's already dead in your story, but it's still a death. Robin still loses her best friend. And the others also know Steve for a little bit, even though they don't really see him or interact with him much (except for Eleven). But yeah, it's such a gut-punch, it's not even funny. Poor Robin. But also, how beautiful is it, that Steve feels it's time for him to go, right at the moment where Robin finally finds other people to share her life with, to love? It's heartbreaking, but it's also heartwarming in a sense. Steve knows he can move on, Robin won't be alone. Maybe that's why he stuck around for so long. And heck, even after he's gone, he's not truly gone - it's a soft "C U LATER" 😭
But yeah, this entire story is a treasure, seriously thank you for writing it and sharing it with us. I love how... slow it is? Like, it doesn't feel like Nancy & Robin just fall for each other, or even become friends or trust each other, right from the get-go. Even if there is some crush around here, but it's not the main focus - we have an overall plot and different characters relationships as well. I'm loving how the romance progressed, but I'm also loving how well you portrayed Robin & Steve becoming best friends - especially without the entire Starcourt arc from season 3, that's a tall order to just... not have this foundation for them to be best friends. So yeah, thanks for that!
I'm bookmarking this, it's one of the best Ronance fanfics I have ever read (but also, just one of the best Stranger Things fanfics as well, you know). Thanks again, take care, and I'll see you around, byyyyyyyye ✨️"

Something is wrong with Jennifer. Needy knows it, deep in her gut. Hell, even Jennifer knows it.
The story we know and love, but a little bit different. Or a lot different.
A character study and further exploration of the Jennifer/ Needy dynamic, plus, writing demonic possessions are just too fun.

Summary
Rumi hadn’t meant to cause such a scene. She just wasn’t thinking straight.
Celine had told her Zoey and Mira would kill her if they found out what she was, and Rumi had come to the conclusion that she was probably right.
Her plan, as tenuous a description as that word was, was to cut the patterns out. If she could cut out the parts of her that made her dangerous, that made her less than human, that made her so unloveable, maybe she’d stop feeling so fucking guilty every time Mira or Zoey opened up to her.
They loved each other from the start, but it just wasn't that simple.

Summary
Nancy Wheeler was lying down on the railroad tracks.
That was weird for a lot of reasons, besides the obvious one. It was weird for Robin to see anybody out here at all. It was weird to see Nancy Wheeler anywhere but school. She was born for school, Robin thought. Their school didn't have a uniform but Nancy practically wore one anyway, every day a different pastel cardigan and a skirt landing appropriately below her un-skinned knees. White socks and mary janes. She was wearing jeans and a red corduroy jacket now, though. Sneakers. Her hair was pulled back off her face and she was lying down on the train tracks with her eyes closed.
It was weird.
or
4 times the train didn't come, and 1 time it did.

But she didn’t have much time to dwell on that.

My TOP ONE Ronance fanfic 👌 Seriously, that's what got me into the ship, it's just such a good story. And like, the best part is that, it's not only Ronance. It's a GREAT rewrite, starting in s1, of the entire show (well, it's canon divergence I guess, so it doesn't follow all of the same plot points, but still). It's really a Nancy-driven character story, the author just GETS HER so well, it's magnificent. Secondary characters are also really well-written and important to the character and plot. Yeah, it's just a treasure - like every fanfic by this author, btw. GO READ IT.

My spoilers free comment:
"Not gonna lie, this story was pretty great ✨️ seriously, I hesitated to read it at first, because I'd rather read fanfics in-universe and your description was... well, intriguing. I wasn't sure we would be in Storybrook, in the OUAT-universe, or if it would be an alternate universe. I guess it goes well with your nothing vibe - we don't really know. But I gave it a shot, and I didn't regret it for ONE SECOND. it's a definite tour de force, writer, because you manage to grip me despite the unfamiliar setting, despite having some OCs (i mean, I guess Tamara and Gwen are OCs? I can't remember the show that well, I watched it when I was 14/15 yo - almost 10 years ago now - it's been a while), it's just THAT good.
Yeah, honestly every single characterization felt authentic and made sense in the story, the mystery was gripping while not taking too much of the plot and the relationship drama, the relationship drama didn't take too much of the mystery plot (which I appreciate as well), the fluff and the angst have their moments, I just love the balance of it all ❤️ it's also neither too long or too short of a story for what you're telling us, so thank you for that as well.
I don't know if you wrote any other story of this very special sort, but I would be happy to read you again! thanks a lot for sharing this gem, thank you for making me smile like a dummy for the entire last chapter, and no thank you for keeping me awake until 4 am when I was working the next day lmao. See you around, take care, byyyyyyyye"

My (almost spoilers free) comment: "Here I am, reading you story more than 10 years after you posted it on Ao3, and giggling like a fool at Chloe's and Becca's antics - how amazing is that, seriously? ❤️ really truly thank you for sharing this little gem with us. It's mostly fluff, but also has a healthy dose of angst and even sadness, character development (especially for Chloe, but I feel like Becca follows her own journey, even if we are not privy to it), and loooooove ✨️ You just set each character in this story so well, even the secondary characters - they all just feel very real. And this love between Chloe and Becca also feels so grounded - that'd partly why Becca's courage when she confesses her love for Chloe feels so... certain, so coherent with their relationship up until this point. Chloe's backstory, her relationship to her parents, to love itself, I mean, I had a little tear in my eye. It makes so much sense for her to fear it, yet she hides it so well under her confidence and beauty and flirty persona - but as soon as it gets serious, she's the one persuading herself (and others) that she's not feeling it at all. Yeah, truly a little masterclass, thank you"

Summary
As soon as Shauna stepped outside, she remembered how to breathe. She plopped down on a small bench outside the store, and reached for a pack of cigarettes in her back pocket. Being a mother has taught her many things. Her favorites being the wonders of liquor on the rocks and smoking a cigarette in the crisp air. She lit her cigarette, took a long inhale and let everything go. She closed her eyes and dropped her head back, not sure if she’d rather slow down the minutes of her break or speed them up so she could get the fuck home.
“Never would’ve taken you as a future smoker, Shipman,” the nickname blasted like a siren through her brain before she could even register who it came from. A voice she hadn’t heard in years cut through her ten minutes of peace in an instant.
Shauna lifted her head back up to its normal position without opening her eyes. She squeezed the bridge of her nose. “Jackie.”

Summary
It was wishful thinking. It had to be the truth. Glinda may not know much but she knew performance, and the more she thought about it the better it fit. Elphaba’s death didn’t make sense. Glinda had seen it with her own eyes and had stupidly believed that was proof it had happened.
Elphaba’s melting shadow had been wearing the hat. Glinda wasn’t sure of the scientification of melting, but surely either all or none of her clothes should have melted. Surely Elphaba herself shouldn’t have melted. Fiyero’s body was missing, and Elphaba’s hat was in her hands.
Glinda stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she realized she must have been crying. She looked crazy. It didn’t matter.
Elphaba was alive.

Summary
Stopping a computer was simple, really. The lab had a physical override, cutting off all sources of power - including LuthorCorp’s power generators. But the lab would explode. A kryptonite bomb, from the sound of it, that even Supergirl wouldn’t be able to survive.
With a trembling hand, Lena pulled her phone out of her pocket, selecting a name she hadn’t called in months. After a moment, a tentative voice answered. “Hello?”
“Kara,” Lena said, her voice shaking. “I need you to evacuate LuthorCorp.”
“What’s going on, Lena?”
“Please,” Lena said. “You have ten minutes to get everyone outside. And don’t go to the basement lab.”
“Lena-”
