nice family moments, and good use of people actually talking things out and getting answers to their questions

Over two dozen metakittes worth of Chaos.

No one's plans accounted for this.

Nobody Speaks English In Space

Author: JUBE514

Fandom: Voltron

Monsters in the Dark

Author: orphan_account

Fandom: Arrow

Tags: au, first season rewrite, fantasy elements, a little bit of actual magic, olicity

Summary: Felicity has the ability to see guardians, spirits that protect the majority of people. Some guardians talk, others don't. Oliver Queen's is a sassy, chatty beast. She starts helping Oliver, forming Team Arrow, and getting drawn into the pull that is Hurricane Oliver.

I rewrote their first meeting and season 1 plot, because it's no fun to copy what's already been done verbatim. The fantasy element was strange, but my muses are weird...and dark, apparently. Despite that, this story is pretty light. No Tommy death - Walter is still kidnapped. Cursing, so if that offends you, avert your eyes. Protecting the city. And major bonding between my girl and her boy wonder.

fun fantasy and good drama, the sassdragon is absolute best

Breaking

Author: Grimreaperchibi ( @grimreaperchibi )

Fandom: Homestuck

Tags: Moirallegience, mental violation, self-mutilation

Summary: There was a lot of lab space that never got explored, so it stood to reason something else might be lost in there with them. There was, and it struck in the one place few would ever be able to reach. Too bad it chose to target the one troll who's moirail could hear madness, a best friend who was a powerful psionic, and all three were known for their stubbornness issues.

good angst with a hopeful ending

Unchained Melody

Author: AvocadoLove ( @awesomeavocadolove )

Fandom: Avatar: the Last Airbender

Tags: humor, ghosts, character death (technically)

Summary: Sokka is a man of science, and science says ghosts aren't real. So, he can't be dead... Right? Too bad science can't explain why the only person who can see or hear him is Prince Angry Jerk. (Sokka/Zuko)

Fanfiction link

lots of fun with Sokka and Zuko snarking at each other and reluctantly working together (so far)
