Summary
This story was originally written for the LGBT Fest challenge on Livejournal. The prompt was to write a Twilight Zone episode dealing with the issue of homosexuality. I chose to interpret this as 'how The Twilight Zone might have chosen to tackle the issue of homosexuality'; in other words, the script is written as it might have been in the early 60's.

Summary
Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.
She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.
She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.
She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-
She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.
(Susan Pevensie goes to Middle Earth)

Summary
The Crown Princess of Gallifrey has been brought up to put duty above all else: she is to secure the royal bloodline, and protect the fragile peace that was forged following a devastating war almost thirty years ago. But the Princess carries a heavy secret – one that threatens to destroy the very peace she is sworn to protect.
City Guard Yasmin’s career dreams are coming true: she has been chosen to become a member of the illustrious Princess’ Guard, a troupe of elite soldiers trained to protect the heir to the throne of Gallifrey. But nobody knows that Dame Yasmin has met the Crown Princess once before - and has promised to not only protect the Princess, but her fateful secret as well.
The newly elected Lord Master of Karn is done with peace and alliances, and has only one goal: to take the power he believes to be rightfully his.
And he will stop at nothing to make his darkest dreams come true.Series

Summary
“You’d think I wouldn’t be happy to return to Arcadia Bay.” Rachel’s voice was a honeyed melody, warped through their moonlit phone calls but harmonious here, healing, stitching the crevice her absence left in Max’s chest. Hazel eyes sparkled, veering between her and Chloe. “And yet, happiness looks a lot like the two pretty ladies before me who clearly only got out of bed ten seconds ago.”

Summary
2395, Stardate 72842.7, 19:10, and three of Starfleet’s newest ensigns are huddled together on the couch in pristine new uniforms, each with a single shining rank pip. They’re not talking anymore, but the silence is a comfortable one. Like him, they’re keeping watch. They’re wondering when they will see this again, so many of their family and friends gathered together in celebration. Ben could tell them the answer, of course. He could look into all their futures. He won’t, because if he does, the present may be lost to him forever, and the present is all that matters, in the end. But the present is made of pasts, because that’s what linearity means.
Or, a study in the myriad ways children are influenced by experience, circumstance, and the adults around them (sometimes in ways those adults didn't intend).

Every Moment Points Toward the Aftermath by HiNerdsItsCat (HiLarpItsCat)

Summary
In a strange sort of way, this is the story of how, in the final days of the Clone Wars, Mace Windu saved the galaxy by taking a nap.
With sleep had come peace, and with peace had come clarity: Mace volunteered to find General Grievous himself because, unless Obi-Wan Kenobi stayed on Coruscant, a calamity would ensue beyond anything they had ever seen before.
Which was how Anakin Skywalker found himself in his current predicament: falling a thousand stories to who-knows-where in the depths of Coruscant's lower levels.
Sure, Palpatine had betrayed him to a extent that he was only beginning to understand, there were three murdered Jedi in the Chancellor's office, he didn't know if Padmé was going to be alright, and it was completely possible that he was going to end up as a bloody smear across the windshield of a speeder, but the fact remained that he and Obi-Wan had just spent the last ten minutes shrieking at one another like a pair of younglings to such a degree that they forgot about the Sith Lord in the room.

Who did you lose today? by notdeannatroi for Curator

Summary
I read Curator's amazing work "The Autobiography of Kirsten Clancy" and left a comment to which she responded: “Okay, so I’m going to need you to write a fic entitled, “Who did you lose today?” because that is haunting me. Goosebumps. (I know you love Crusher/Troi. Maybe a Dominion War fic for them? I’m not picky, though. I just think you could write an amazing fic with that title.)” So here we go.
It is exactly that: a Dominion War fic about the Battle of Betazed, about the losses Deanna suffers, and about her grief.

Summary
The answer was right in front of me all along. I sometimes wonder if that was literally true, if someone or something out there was actually trying to tell me something, but that’s not really important anymore. The answer was butterfly wings. You know that saying, a butterfly flaps its wings in Hong Kong and there’s a tornado in New York? Very tiny differences can have really big results. That’s what I needed to do. Not big things. Incremental changes. A nudge here, a push there. Minor alterations, far away from what I actually wanted to change.

Beverly finds herself tangled in a messy situation and decides the only place she can go is to her best-friends-slash-old-flames on Nepenthe.
Set prior to ST: Picard; canon-compliant in the sense that it doesn't contradict anything that's shown on-screen, including Deanna & Will’s marriage; assumes that off-screen, the three of them had some sort of casual relationship/friends-with-benefits-situation following The Host.Bookmarked by Metacity
