Summary
“What are your feelings on the mutant threat?!” one of the reporters shouts, and Steve just looks at him.
“I think anyone threatening mutants should be stopped,” he says calmly, and the swarm of reporters explodes, a dozen camera flashes going off at once.

Summary
It is 1844. Britain is still recovering from the disaster in Afghanistan. Across the ocean, Morse has just sent his first telegram, racing invisibly across wires as thin as a ledger line. And in Europe, a red-haired pianist named Antonin Crowley is bringing audiences to the point of rioting with his dreadful compositions.
Aziraphale Fell doesn't care for that at all.

In which Harry Goodsir's wife is in love with his sister, and probably has been for some time now, and he very much would like to get away. But "away" comes with its own problems—namely in the form of a woman whose language he cannot speak and whose dog definitely wants to eat him.

Summary
“I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”
“Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.
“I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”
”Father,” she corrects.
”Your father,” he agrees.
*****
An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).
Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)

Summary
James is an aging professional tennis player making the run of his career at Wimbledon when his longtime coach, Sir John Franklin, dies unexpectedly. Left without a head coach and grasping desperately for what might be his final chance at glory (and personal validation) James begs retired legend Francis Crozier to step in as his coach, just for one match.
It’s a long shot--Crozier infamously dislikes James for reasons that remain opaque, and James isn’t helping matters with a long-simmering and ill-advised crush--but, miraculously, Francis agrees. Tensions run high, societal norms are challenged, sparks fly, and their unlikely partnership might just prove a winning combination.

Summary
Hildy calls Meryl at 7:30 AM on a Saturday morning. For obvious reasons, Meryl is sleeping in.
Meryl blindly smacks around on his night table until he’s able to snatch one of his phones (he’s only downgraded in some aspects. A man needs his luxuries,) and smushing it against his face. “Hello?” He says blearily. “If you’re harassing me at 7:30 on a Saturday, it better be good.”
“Meryl Streep, of all people, I should have been aware of this before you allowed the press to find out!”
“Quit bumping gums, What are you talking about?”
“I knew Stud was stuck on you like a fly on paper, but you didn’t tell me you two were goin’ steady!”
--AKA, a Star-Studded fake dating au. featuring; "I'm not gay guys, I bang women, I just don't like it," Stud Stampler not even trying to hide the fact he's in love with Meryl, and Willy not being homophobic, just hating Meryl in particular.

Summary
“Peter—look behind you!” The boy clasps Peter’s head, forcefully turning it around.
Peter’s looking.
And—
Well, Rhodey’s not looking at Peter.
He’s looking at a living memory—lightning wit and calculating brown eyes.
Rhodey’s lightheaded with it—with late nights hidden in lab cupboards as tired security guards search for the source of echoing laughter—with breaking into Tiberius Stone’s dorm room and stealing his pipsqueak best friend’s final paper back—with punching Howard Stark in the face, shaking his knuckles out without an ounce of regret—with bunny-eared yearbook photos and shared school hoodies—with ‘I got it! I got it—Rhodey—stop—It’s not even—even heavy’ and ‘It’s a two-hundred pound robot, of course it’s heavy, dummy’—and later—so much later—too late, alway too late—with searching, searching, searching and never finding—

Summary
A year after the Winter Soldier failed his mission in DC, Bucky Barnes is doing his best to stay under the radar from both Hydra and Steve Rogers. His hope for a peaceful day-to-day life in limbo goes awry, however, when he meets Queens’ newest hero; a pure-hearted kid with a death wish and a ridiculous pair of red and blue pajamas.
The last thing Steve expects when he finally tracks Bucky down is that, not only has the man been living in Queens all this time, right under his nose, but also that, in the two years since they last saw each other, Bucky somehow acquired a kid.
Alternatively: How Peter Parker effectively fucks over Bucky Barnes, and also totally saves him.

Silence.
Jim pulls back the comm to look at the little screen. They’re still connected.
“Spock?” He asks. Nothing. Jim is about to snap the comm closed in frustration, when he hears a ragged inhale.
“You’re on a roof?” Spock’s voice is deadly soft, flat and hard and…something else that Jim’s brain won’t process. Jim rolls his eyes. He grabs another drink and wrestles it open, taking three large swigs before he bothers responding.
~~~
After the events of ST:ID, Jim calls Spock from a rooftop. Spock misunderstands.

Summary
"I should probably tell you I’m going to sniff anything you show me."
The shopkeeper’s smile actually grows. "How interesting. Can you tell me what you’re sniffing for?"
Foggy already likes this guy, who looks to be about a hundred and ten but stands straight as a flagpole, but he's not about to admit that he's trying to make himself pretty for a blind man with four super-human senses, so he just smiles.
"Complexity."

Summary
An excerpt from A Guide to Shire Flora by Bilbo Baggins, collected by Frodo Baggins:
The Mile’s End is a rare flower found only in the four farthings of the Shire. While no one is certain when it was first recorded, it can be found in Hobbit art and embroidery patterns going back at least 500 years. The peculiar thing about mile’s ends is that they only bloom when in the presence of true love or rather, soul mates. In Hobbit culture, therefore, it is mainly used during wedding ceremonies. They are of particular importance to weddings between two brides or two grooms, for both relationship and flower are seen as precious and symbolic of Hobbit love for community and family in all forms.
Etymology: the name “mile’s end” is most likely derived from the Sindarin loth, meaning flower; mîl, meaning love; and henia, meaning understand. What originally was mîlothenia, became milothen and eventually milen. From there, Shire accent turned it into two separate Westron words: mile’s end.- Language:
