Summary
Samantha Stewart is not the Simurgh. This is obvious.
It is also obvious that she is not one of the world's most powerful telekinetics, precogs, postcogs, Masters, and Tinkers. Sam is just an ordinary human with an ordinary job trying to live an ordinary life where she may or may not be mentally coerced into transforming into a fifteen-foot-tall angel and decimating a major population center every now and then.
It is fairly obvious that she needs therapy, though. Losing her job doesn't help, and neither does getting caught in the middle of a violent cape battle. But maybe, just maybe, this means that Sam finally has the opportunity to do some good for a change.Soar is heavily inspired by Learning to Sing and lightly inspired by Case.
Full-Work Content Warning for major depression and self-hatred. Things will get better, but hoo boy do they start off bad.

Summary
Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.
Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.

Summary
Adrian’s below us. A beautiful swirl of greens. With a view like that, I can only stay a little mad at it with the little “almost killed us” fiasco. Unfamiliar constellations and the arm of the Milky Way fill the rest of my view. I start panning my view closer to Tau Ceti when I spot it.
It’s another Hail Mary.

Summary
After being poorly summoned to a Fantasy world and ending up being dumped in the middle of nowhere rather than being brought to the summoning circle of the Hero, Korey wants nothing more than to transform into something they never felt like they could be in their original world. A Dragon! That's definitely why they never felt right in their skin before, and they are going to make sure they find every bit of magic they can to make that dream a reality. And maybe along the way they'll meet people who will make this new world worth living for.

Summary
Disaster strikes the Hail Mary on its way back to Earth. The taumoeba escape their breeding tanks, and make it to the fuel lines. Stranded in space just outside the Tau Ceti system, Dr Ryland Grace can't do anything. He can't go save Rocky, he can't go save Earth. Exhausted, out of options, and distraught, he fills the ship with nitrogen, and takes his final breath.
Next thing he knows, his eyes flutter open in his San Francisco apartment. It's a year before ArcLight touches down on Earth, but he remembers the Petrova Task Force.
He's not the only one.OR: Time-Travel Fix-It AU but it's not just Grace who came back in time.

Summary
"It takes me another moment before I realize that I wasn’t hurting from the fall. There’s no struggle to get air back into my lungs. I’ve tumbled end over end, and sort of landed upright. All my limbs are sprawled in every direction.
Rocky skitters down to my level, right up against the xenonite. “Grace fall! Hurt question? Okay okay okay?”
With all my brainpower, I focus on responding. 'Y-ye-es,' I manage to chirp. I freeze. Process.
That was definitely not English. Or any other human language. I didn’t move any muscles to speak.
'Y-ees,' I say again, and the same chirping note comes out. Inside me, I feel the shifting of five gas-filled… things. That note came from me. But it sounded like Rocky."...
In which Grace wakes up as an Eridian. And then a human. Eridian again.
Figuring out how to walk and sing is the first step. The rest will have to come later.

Summary
The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.
There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.
Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?

Summary
Arxet is an urchin, a thief, and a rat bastard. Abandoned by his noble parents at a young age for the taint of cold magic upon his brow he has struggled to survive every day of his life and been abused and neglected by the greater world. All of this is about to change as an ancient dragon and her rider choose him for a new destiny: to become a dragon.
This is a trans egg story. In the first handful of chapters the protagonist does not realize she is a trans woman and the narration will treat her as a man until her transition begins. There will be some action but my focus is more on the protagonist's relationship with herself and others.

When Eva Stratt called an unexpected meeting, nobody expected it to be about a message from off-planet, from an alien species who wished to share knowledge.
Especially when the voice translating the message was Ryland Grace's.

Summary
Bad dreams suck. Grace wakes up from a nightmare of being on the Hail Mary, which is utterly impossible, but his throat hurts like he really did have a tube pulled out of it.
Turns out, he wasn't the only one to have that dream. Which was even more impossible than him actually being on a ship that's not even fully built.

Summary
Eight months ago, a perfectly spherical object appeared in Earth's orbit, unmoving and unaffected by gravity. Far-Tech Scientists around the world can't make any more sense of it than the mundane kind. Mages can't figure out what it is either, and most superheroes can't fly high enough to investigate it properly. It sits there, watching, waiting.
Seven months ago, a coalition was formed by several countries with the goal of sending a team of scientists to observe the anomaly up close.
Five months ago, each member of the team had been chosen, and would spend every waking moment preparing for the mission ahead.
Today, Areia Sinclair has finally achieved her dream: Becoming an astronaut, and getting to investigate the Spectator Anomaly. As long as nothing cataclysmic happens, she's going to make history.

Summary
You can’t entirely believe this is happening in front of you, like you’re ready for some stranger to come in and shout, “And scene!”
It never comes. Time moves forward unabated.
Before they can make their fateful wish at the Favor Tree, a mysterious voice pops into Siffrin’s head and says, “Don’t do it. Just tell them how you feel.” This seems like the best of both worlds — keeping his found family without subjecting himself to time loop torture. But the problems they faced before don’t just disappear, and sometimes a fella has to make their own mistakes.

Summary
Calliope Mondegrene has always felt like a bit of an alien among her fellow humans. A nerdy self-proclaimed loser sleepwalking through life in a Bostonian triplex, her introversion seems to be boundless, to the point where it leads her to avoid social interaction at the parties she's forced to attend--by getting really, really, high.
Too high, it turns out, when she sees--and is seen by--something beyond her understanding that, for some unfathomable reason, takes an interest in her sad little life.
