The View from T'Khut by Laura JV (laurajv)
74860506The one where Vulcan is gone and Vulcan is not yet. So much Spock, in all the best ways. (Non-linear in the ephemera, so it will take a second read to absorb all of the details and breadcrumbs Laura JV left for us here.)
Kirk said, "Do we know where the Narada is headed now?"
Nyota nodded. "Their trajectory suggests they are headed for Earth."
"There aren't any other inhabited systems between 40 Eridani and Sol," Chekov added. "There is nowhere else it could be."
"Nevasa," Spock said, sharply; Earth starcharts used Earth names, and so did Starfleet. That had never bothered him before, but it suddenly seemed like another violation, as if erasing Nevasa's name was part of erasing his people. "Between Nevasa and Sol."

And I Know That It's Not Easy by Dira Sudis (dsudis)
157005Gregor and his son. I cried (good tears.)
It wasn't until he was nine or ten years old that he thought about what having a son would mean. He was sitting at breakfast, and Miles was babbling about something. Gregor had looked over at Aral and found that Aral was listening--really listening, and Gregor had recently learned how to spot the difference on his Lord Regent's face. Gregor had realized at that moment that Aral had always really listened to Miles, and he thought when I have a son, I will pay attention to him like that.

Care and Keeping of your Sand Gremlin by LordCombatWhiskey
82173701A more whimsical take on what it means to be a child of the force. (Hint: water = flowers)
A week of living with Anakin has Obi-Wan flummoxed. Even with cleaning droids sweeping the floors at night, there’s almost always a fine trail of sand from Anakin’s bedroom to the kitchen. Every time Obi-Wan sits on the sofa, he has to brush off the cushions. How is Anakin leaving this much sand everywhere?

Pu-erh by yeaka
82168711A single scene between the two chancellors, that is bittersweet for what it is and what it yearns to be.
She thrusts her thermos over, and he gets a faint whiff of something herbal and sweet. Visible steam wafts out of it. She gestures, trying to give it to him, and a part of him really wants to take it, but his brain kicks in, and he doesn’t. She rolls her eyes and pulls it back to take a long sip, idle and indulgent, but that means nothing—he knows her taste buds are as off-kilter as the rest of her. She tries to pass it back to him as though she’s proven it’s not poison. He knows she wouldn’t poison him. Probably.
He says, “That’s unhygienic.” They’re not at that stage yet. Maybe there is some world, far in the absurd future, where he and Nahla Ake are comfortable enough to share a tea cup, where the thought might even thrill instead of repulse him. It would repulse him with most people. With her, he hesitates, overrun with what ifs.

Four Times Ake and Kelrec Were Trapped Together and One Time They Were Trapped Apart by DoubleStashed
78380321Does exactly what it says on the tin. An alternative ending to the first season or some number or season(s) (although it could plausibly be running concurrently with the season through episode 8) with all of the great Star Trek tropes of being trapped somewhere that fits on a single sound-stage.

She nudged his foot again. “You know, in the early days of Starfleet they used to shoot rocks with their phasers to heat them, and use them to stay warm in situations like this.”
“Don't shoot anything.” He opens his eyes to look at her. “And there is no way that can be true. It's ridiculously dangerous.”

81190711The Doctor is into opera. Darem loves calica. And Genesis? Genesis likes professional wrestling.
Many years ago, when she was little and they had been stationed briefly on a little satellite with a fairly small population, she had become friends with a man who worked maintenance and always had time for a bored kid looking for something to do. He had taught her some mechanics and systems work, but the real treasure had been the day he made a reference to his favorite source of entertainment.

Последнее средство by WTF Star Trek Universe 2026
80833171The one where Nahla wakes Kelrec up claiming she needs tea to sleep. It’s a little true, and more sweet, as Kelrec accommodates her (the only way out is surrender.)
The story is in Russian, but I found the translation through Google Chrome to be delightfully readable and the story captured a feeling I see in their relationship - it’s sweet and romantic without filing the rough edges off the characters that make them who they are. So no writing sample here

Summary
He fell, and the galaxy kept turning.
Fifteen years after his fall, Luke Skywalker tends his gardens in a Force-null prison on Myrkr: isolated, monitored, and mostly forgotten by the galaxy he once tried to save.
Then Mara Jade shows up dying from a Vong bioweapon, and suddenly the Republic might have a use for a caged Sith Lord after all.
The question is whether Luke Skywalker can be trusted to save the galaxy – or if letting him out will just give them a different kind of apocalypse.
"When have impossible tasks ever stopped me before?"
Or: I present for your enjoyment: "what if the NR took Dark Empire seriously," combined with "what if the Vong War but you ignore all of the EU after Dark Empire," plus "what if dark-ish! Luke during the NJO." If that sounds fun, you are my people.

The Rook by vader_incarnate
73197566A lovely novel with a "dark-ish" Luke (he's working on it, sort of, okay?) pulled from a prison cell on Myrkr by Mara Jade because things with the Vong have gotten just that bad. All of the best of Ledgends is here, and I ended up binging it in a single evening because it was just that good.
"Luke." Mara's voice cut through. "You're having a breakdown about your niece's alcohol consumption now. That wasn't on the schedule."
"My breakdown schedule is very flexible," Luke said into his hands. Then he looked up at Jaina again. "You're really Han and Leia's kid. I can tell. The attitude is – " He gestured vaguely. " – unmistakable."
"Thank you," Jaina said, because she was choosing to take that as a compliment.
"That wasn't – " Luke stopped. "You know what, sure. Take it as a compliment. You're sixteen and terrifying. Just like your mother."
"And a delinquent," Jaina added helpfully. "Like my father."
"Yes. That too." Luke's smile was tired but real. "This is my life now. Constant heart attacks and terrible decisions."
"Welcome to the family," Jaina said.

There Shall Come Up Briers and Thorns by sentientcitizen
244842Per the Author’s summary: In the month of November, the year of our Lord two-thousand-and-one, Methos and Yeshua talk for the first time since Gethsemane. (I read this before the others in the series, and it’s my favorite of the trio; it stands just fine alone.)
It’s late November, the brisk air clouding his breath and leeching the nimbleness from his fingers, when Methos sees Yeshua again.
For one heart-stopping moment he finds himself frozen in the little coffee-shop’s doorway, unable to step forward despite the press of people behind him. The buzz of warning rattles against his skull as he stares at the familiar face, the dark olive-toned skin and broad nose so very different from what the so-called masters had painted. His curly hair, rich brown, has been cropped short, and his full beard is now a neatly trimmed patch on his chin, but it’s the change in his eyes that leaves Methos wondering for the briefest of moments if it really is Yeshua sitting there
Yeshua smiles, and raises his mug in greeting.

79519891Vance's point-of-view as he tries to recruit the Doctor to teach at Starfleet Academy. 100% perfect voice of the Doctor, and an excellent understanding of the sort of chaos that makes Starfleet Starfleet
“Has anybody on the Academy team ever worked with first year Starfleet cadets before?” the Doctor continued, warming to the subject. “Let alone second or third year? They’re not like your nice, disciplined, boring little War College students. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep them from finding inventive new ways to maim and kill themselves and each other? It’s like they’re born wanting to stick their fingers into the metaphorical plasma conduit of the universe while playing with the on/off switch and wondering aloud ‘what does this do?”

“I once had a host with the finest ass.” She glances mournfully at her own ass— which, in Reno’s opinion, is pretty fucking stellar. “You know how tall people feel the need to smack the top of every doorway they walk through?”
“Shut the hell up, that’s a thing here? Now?”
“Cross-cultural, eternal phenomenon,” Leeza confirms. “Anyway. It’s really funny to watch recently joined Trill who remember being taller in their previous host try and fail to hit the top of doorways. Like, ‘oh darn I forgot I was short now.’”
Reno cackles.

A Strange Adventure with Mrs. Nakamura the Safety Consultant by shiplizard
2603727276Outsider POV on a grown up Chihiro who works as a safety inspector. (Her real job is everything they pay her for and more.)
She had not done anything particularly strange in the five months that he had been assigned to her. She did sometimes come back to walk through a plant at sunset, speaking to no-one, simply peering into the shadows. Haruki had adjusted to this, as he had adjusted to the rest of his new routine. He followed Mrs. Nakamura as she toured power plant after power plant, through echoing hall after echoing hall, lulled by cool, conditioned air and the clip-clip-clip of her sensible flats on tile floors. It was all very normal.

Obviously, you turn to the dubious world of short-term vacation rentals.
The resulting Airbnb property has been variously described as "an instagram trap," "a vampire den but make it botanical," and "the weirdest bed and breakfast in the shared history of beds and breakfasting."

Walk Back to Paradise by DS9ItchtoScratch
After the Romulans, Julian and Ross have a moment and a drink. It turns into a porno and a drink.
“I will never forgive Sloan, or you,” Julian said mildly, “but any time you want to walk back to paradise, my door is open.”
Ross looked across at him and sighed, “Do me a favour, Julian,” he said with a sad sort of smile, “Don’t ever stop believing that. Please. Be one of the angels, in spite of all this. I need to know that it’s worth it, in the end.”
He poured them both another. “We are getting through this fast,” he commented.
Julian shrugged, “I won’t let you get alcohol poisoning,” he said.

Summary
About the size of a turkey, the velociraptors were basically feathery coyotes with sickle claws. The little buggers were escape artists too, and managed to escape their enclosure at least once every week. Once free they would usually venture into the guest areas and raid the garbage cans, beg tourists for food, and try and lure the pigeons into a false sense of security by fluffing their feathers and pretending to peck at the ground.
The Other Velociraptors on the other hand, were six foot tall, super intelligent, scaly freaks of nature that only existed because the science department was a bunch of nerds. Surprisingly however they were much better behaved than their smaller, more natural counterparts. Too bad the chief of security was an asshole, and their trainer had a habit of getting drunk and teaching them things they really shouldn't know.

The Trouble with Velociraptors by Feneris
17422232If Jurassic park were about 10x more like a regular zoo, only the experimental velociraptors were smarter than your average bear… (and Administrator’s POV of the fiasco.)
When Sasha Deling had first started working for Prehistoric Paradise dinosaur theme park, she had thought her job would involve things like escaping velociraptors.
She was right.
However instead of screaming people running in terror from prehistoric killing machines, there was garbage scattered across the food-court and people complaining to management.
About the size of a turkey, the velociraptors were basically feathery coyotes with sickle claws. And like coyotes, the raptors had adapted very well to human presence. After all, a sickle claw was perfect for disemboweling garbage bags, half-eaten fish sticks didn’t fight back, and tourists would just give your food if you looked at them and made the right noises

Summary
Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on a list of characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tagsSeries
