Summary
The Sun-Plagued Captain, Aeternitas, has hundreds of the same painting. A hundred golden eyes, etching a thousand words onto her skin. She doesn't know what they mean but she can hear them.
A closer look will suffice, she decides (did she really decide for herself?), her curiosity taking over all rational thought.
And so, Icarus flies closer to the Sun.

Summary
In the beginning, when it was just the odd spot of mycelium reeking behind The Barge and lonely strands of fungi crawling up the Town Hall, when Scar had been bright-eyed and fresh-minted as Mayor, riding the high of victory and possibility, he thought he could stop it if only he could get close enough, get through to–but that was before the Mycelium Resistance was run underground, before it spread to the streets and covered every crevice, before it became Mother Spore.
(If there ever was a beginning, Mother Spore wouldn’t know.)

Summary
In the realm of Ravenloft, a land of chilling mists governed by dark, mysterious powers, some of the most twisted and unabashed villains from across the multiverse are kept imprisoned in realms based on their deepest desires and fears. They are known as Darklords, and they are trapped, unable to leave the plane, kept in idealized realms that give them everything -- everything but the one thing they want most.
The Dark Powers are always hungry, and always watching for those who might fall under their sway and become new Darklords in their own right. They will tempt the denizens of Ravenloft with promises of power and glory before pulling them into the abyss.
This is the story of one such creature, the servant of a Darklord with ambitions to surpass their master, one determined to accrue whatever power they could grasp, through any means necessary. It is also a story of one of the oldest widely-renowned infinite loop exploits in D&D 3.5e, dating back to the venerable Spring of 2003, when it was still just 3rd Edition -- and an exploration of how that exploit might have come to be achieved by a character.Series

She was asked to save Faerun. She was tasked with defeating the Netherbrain.
She did.
They never tell anyone that saving the world will earn you no gratitude. But that's fine. Tav can take it.
--
A post bad (control) ending oneshot of Tav seeing absolutely nothing wrong with anything she's done. In fact, people should be grateful. (And absolutely no other party involved approves.)Bookmarked by NineNineNineNine

Summary
After the highly public and highly violent execution of Emperor Palpatine, the Sith Empire is under new management. It doesn't make much difference to Fox whether the Emperor is an evil murdering Sith Lord or an evil murdering cyborg, but as Fox accompanies the Emperor throughout the early days of the new Empire, he realizes there's something--or someone--strange hiding under that faceless armor.
Someone hauntingly familiar.

Your eyes widened with terror as the truth became apparent. You could see only blackness in those eyeholes… Not even the slightest hint of human presence. Around the face, under the hood, you couldn’t see even a wisp of hair… Nothing but more darkness. As you watched it, it seemed to move and wriggle in a horrifyingly familiar way.
Investigating rumors of a cult-like group frequenting a remote abandoned cabin, you discover there's more going on than you could have guessed.

Summary
Luke, reeling from a tragedy that redefined the course of his life, has thrown in his lot with Doctor Aphra, rogue archaeologist (and also the first person he saw in the spaceport with a ship large enough to stow away on). Everything goes fine until Aphra's boss sends them on a mission to Geonosis.
Target? Unknown. But the weight of Luke's own history is immense. Dealing with the history of Geonosis might break him.
And Aphra? She's doing what she always does: cause trouble.
