4. Omegaverse AU: Acorn by yaoigirl22 - Hobbit Fandom (Gen)

Summary:

Bilbo Baggins fears for the day when the Breeders will come for him, as that day draws closer an old friend visits, bringing along with him Dwarves, adventure and most all….

Hope.

5. Superpowers/No Powers AU: Mission Control by LuckyBishop - Teen Wolf Fandom (Peter/Stiles)

Summary:

Stiles is at his wit's end trying to keep Scott and The Pack safe. It's not like there's a manual on the care and keeping of your superhero friends. So he seeks out the next best thing - The Alpha, Beacon Hills' original hero that disappeared years ago. It takes a lot of digging, and what he finds isn't what he expected. Can he break through The Alpha's reclusive nature and protect his friends?

Teen Wolf superhero AU where Stiles is the guy in the chair, Scott's the team leader, and Peter doesn't want anything to do with them.

9. Road Trip: Hunting Pains by Ragga - Teen Wolf Fandom (Peter/Stiles)

Summary:

It was a sad day when one had to resort to time travel because things were just so fucked up. Stiles should know. He went back to undo the whole ‘Beacon Hills is a death trap’ thing but for now he would just settle for knowing where the fuck he was. Even the year would be a nice start. Someone? Anyone?

Or, the one where Stiles travels back in time, karma comes to bite him in the ass, and he ends up as Kate Argent's hunter mentor. He didn't take Peter Hale into account either, and he definitely didn't sign up for everything that came after.

His life.

13. Mission Fic: Beyond the Pixels by Ticklesivory - Hobbit Fandom (Bilbo/Thorin)

Summary:

After a devastating climate event, the population of Middle Earth is forced underground. Five hundred years later, to escape his rather tedious existence, Bilbo purchases a virtual reality gaming system and enters a world that used to be. During gameplay, he meets a dwarf - a character by the name of Thorin. Thorin is advancing through the game at a steady pace while Bilbo is having trouble. Thorin agrees to team up with Bilbo and help him. When their relationship becomes too real, Bilbo is forced out of his comfort zone in order to save a friend.

16. Secret Identity: The Burden of Choice by Fantasyinallforms - Hobbit Fandom (Bilbo/Thorin)

Summary:

Thorin Oakenshield is the crown prince of one of the strongest kingdoms in Middle Earth, but in the last year, the kingdom has struggled to keep its place among the ruling powers of Middle Earth. Erebor was held under vicious siege by the dragon Smaug, who terrorised the land and wiped out the nearby human settlement of Dale. The hardship forces Erebor into a difficult position, creating no other choice but for King Thror to seek alliances with other kingdoms and races through the bonds of marriage. Will Thorin see this as his duty to his kingdom or take another path entirely?

18. Mistaken Identity: Where There’s Smoke by Diner Guy - Psych Fandom (Gen) re-read

Summary: Shawn finds that looking like a criminal may not be a good thing. Especially when an enemy of that criminal comes looking for payback.

20. Under the Influence: Just a Bunch of Junk by MusicalLuna - Psych Fandom (Gen) re-read

Summary: One would think that one could go to the bathroom in peace in the police station, if nowhere else. One would be wrong.

For Whumpathon 2009.

23. Pre- or Post Canon: Living Stone by northerntrash - Hobbit Fandom (Bilbo/Thorin)

Summary:

It didn't take long for it to become clear that no one had actually put any thought into how to rebuild a kingdom. The fact that it was haunted wasn't making things any easier.

In which Bilbo is going to fix things, come hell or high water.
