Summary
Grantaire’s first flower appears when he is two years old. It’s late, for a First Bloom, considering some children are born with their First already etched above their hearts, but Grantaire’s parents are warm and loving and wait to see what sort of child they have born unto the world.
His First Bloom, when it comes, is vibrant patch of yellow carnations. He is too young to know what it means, and his parents don’t tell him, just—withdraw, and a much smaller patch of yellow carnations appears on his mother’s ankle.

Summary
"The colloquial name is bloodstone," says the man from StrexCorp's Acquisitions division. "Heard of them?"
Carlos shakes his head. "No, but I'm not a minerologist. Are you certain this wasn't intended for the geology department?"
~
Carlos is a loyal company employee, who has never been to any place called Night Vale and never met anyone named Cecil…which doesn’t explain the mysterious woman appearing in his lab, or these dreams he’s started having…

The night that his research partner (and sort-of ex) shows up at his apartment with a gun, Carlos decides to take a mysterious but exceptionally well funded two-year research posting in a town called Night Vale.
A story in which Night Vale is there for the people who need it, Cecil's propensity to wear his innocent heart on his sleeve is perceived as a threat (until it isn't) and no one is allowed to hurt the Scientist. No one.

Summary
Yavanna created hobbits to bring blessings and bounty to the creatures of Middle Earth. However, after centuries of isolation in the Shire, most have forgotten almost everything about the halflings, especially how those blessings touched each of the races and what the presence of a hobbit did to the beings of Middle Earth. With Bilbo Baggins crossing the world to serve as the fourteenth member of the Company of Erebor, the races are about to be reminded.

Summary
Summoned to Erebor for his particular talents, Bilbo Baggins (formerly of Bag End) simply meant to explore the East, uncover the cause of old King Thráin's peculiar behaviour, and perhaps cast out a troublesome wraith or two.
He certainly didn't intend to kidnap the Crown Prince.

Summary
Last thing Jupiter Jones remembered was sitting with Caine at a downtown dive bar at one in the morning...
She didn’t know what had sent her back in time, but somehow it was the morning of the fertility clinic all over again. There were things she did know: Balem wanted to kill her, Titus wanted to marry her and then kill her, and —well, actually, she wasn't exactly sure what Kalique wanted.
But if Jupiter could avoid being kidnapped or killed, (or passing out from this strange exhaustion) maybe she could convince Stinger and Caine to help her claim her title and save the Earth all over again. What would she tell them though? Would they even believe the truth? She was the only one who remembered living through this the first time around...wasn’t she?- Language:

Summary
Éponine was often told the story of her birth, when she was small, before her parents took the kingdom and lost interest in their eldest child. Azelma was the first born royal, and Gavroche the first prince, but Éponine was the first child, and hoped-for.
When her mother felt the labor pains, the wind was whistling through the treetops, ice freezing on the roads and clouding the windows, the world so cold it hurt to breathe.
“I hope,” her mother said then, looking out the window, like a wish she wanted to come true, like a spell, “that the child is as fierce as this storm, and as wild as the wind.”
A Snow White AU.

Summary
"I don’t know how this happened. I don’t yet know why. But this is definitely Anakin’s fault."
Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master, Exile, and now Force Ghost, was pleased with the way things had turned out. The Sith were dead. His padawan had returned to the Light. And Luke Skywalker was beginning to lay the foundation for his new Jedi Order. And while Luke, Leia, Han, and the Rebellion cleaned up the last traces of the Empire on the physical plane, he and Anakin would devote the next stage of their afterlives to repairing the damage Sidious and his ilk wrought on the Force itself.
At least, that was the plan.
After a disaster on the cosmic scale that Obi-Wan is still trying to wrap his mind around, he finds himself back in the early days of the Clone Wars, Commander Cody loyally at his side, Anakin at his back, and Sidious plotting against the Jedi at every turn. He's been given an unasked for chance to do everything over again. And with the Force as his ally, he intends to set the galaxy on a brighter path than the one it's currently on.
