Summary
History hinges on little things. A proposal averted, a football game that someone was not meant to attend. When Anne and Gilbert begin their junior year, a mishap of Blythe/Shirley proportions threatens to undo everything that the two of them have worked for. The only way to get out of the resulting mess is the same way they got into it- together.

Bookmarker's Notes
A truly delightful marriage of convenience AU starting partway through Anne of the Island.
Phil cleared her throat then. "Alright. So Gilbert wants you to stay."
Anne shivered. "Yes." She lay her head back on the chair, her grey eyes stormy. "He thinks that we should get married like Professor Daniels suggested." The girls were silent, and she clenched her teeth. "We are halfway through college- neither of us is well off, and he would be shackled to me for all time, for a mistake that I made."
Phil's eyebrows were raised, and she nodded doubtfully. "Ye-eees, although him being shirtless certainly made circumstances a lot more sinister, I think."

Summary
Sansa finds it difficult to look at Jon’s face, with its weathered lines and cragginess. It is the face of the North and a face that northerners trust; the face of Sansa’s brothers and her father, who had been loved and respected by their tenants as their forefathers had been when they were kings. How can Sansa feel anything but resentment, looking into that face and knowing that all of her years of hard work will never earn her the respect that that profile engenders within seconds?
But she does. It is a small, burning coal of something that must be smothered.

“Oh,” Sansa says. He’s not standing close to her by any conceivable metric, but his eyes are holding her in place as though he has put his hands on her shoulders. She feels herself begin to flush at the thought. “Yes, all right, then.” And then, softly, because she is losing her battle with composure: “Jon, at home. Sansa, with family.”
“Thank you, Sansa,” Jon says, and then, horribly: he smiles at her.

“Thom,” Alanna said, trying to avert disaster, but he barrelled on.
“Your sister just killed the Duke of Conté. Mine-”
Alanna punched him in the shoulder. “Thom!” Trying to keep her expression neutral, she said, “I’m sorry, Duke Gareth. Some of us didn’t have the benefit of page training to learn manners.”
“I’m not sure I want credit for your manners.”

Summary
It was not his idea of a good time.
Nikolai had many ideas about good times—ask anyone—but remarkably, none of them involved a dilapidated shack near the Elbjen, the snow coming down faster than you could blink it from your eyelashes, a wind with a mind all its own and grievances to tell, and the dull throb of newly forming bruises.
Even fewer ideas about a good time involved Vasily.

Summary
"I didn't even get to say goodbye," Sansa sniffled into his tunic.
"I was going to send her bones to Winterfell," Ned said slowly. "But the men found a weirwood tree near the road, about an hour north of here. They will bury her beneath it, and the old gods will watch over her."Lady is buried beneath a weirwood tree, and Sansa prays to the old gods for Lady to stay with her. Her prayer is answered, in a manner of speaking. Everything changes.

Deeply satisfying, with excellent world-building, character voices, and subtly foreshadowed plot twists.
Life is not a song, sweetling, Lord Baelish's voice echoed in her head. Sansa's blood hummed with fury. Then I will make it a song.

Bookmarker's Notes
“But it’s more than just tonight,” I said. “I’ve been a burden ever since I’ve lost Mal. You and Nikolai and Zoya went through so much worse than me, and yet I’m the one who’s crying and broken while all the rest of you are strong enough to pull through and carry on.”
“Do not go around comparing who’s had it worse,” Genya said, her voice suddenly iron. I lifted my head to look at her. “Some of our scars are more visible than others, but we all survived something that cannot be quantified, that cannot be compared. And just as some scars are more visible, so is some of the healing more visible. But what is above all visible in you, Alina, is strength. Your strength doesn’t come from not being broken, it comes from having what it takes to heal.” -

Summary
“Who are you people?” asks Martha’s husband, moving closer to Martha. “Do I know them?” he says in a stage whisper, smiling and kissing her cheek.
Martha grins, pushing at his chest. “No, you big goof. This is Yaz and Ryan, and Graham,” she says, gesturing at each of them in turn. “This is my husband Mickey, as you probably figured.” Ryan smiles and Yaz waves, subdued. Graham does a small salute with two fingers.
“Nice to meet you all,” says Mickey, lifting the grocery bags awkwardly. “I’d shake your hands, but-”
“Yeah, of course,” says Graham. Martha is smiling still, but it looks strained.
“And of course, Mickey,” she says, trying to look casual and failing utterly, “you already know the Doctor.”

*bangs pots and pans together* Your regularly scheduled reminder that Martha and Mickey deserved better!
“I’m not trying to scare you,” she says, willing them to see the sincerity in her eyes. “Please believe me. You just have to keep the lesson I learned in mind.”
“What was it?” asks Yaz. Ryan is silent.
“You don’t need the Doctor,” she says. “You can stay with her forever, if you want; if you make it that long. But you need to know that you can leave. You need to know that you’re valuable and special and just as good without her. You can make your own life without someone else, much less an immortal alien who’s terrible with emotions.” -

Ughhh, this is so good! Zoya/Alina is an underrated ship in both book and showverse, and the author executes it beautifully without sanding down Zoya's edges too much or making Alina a pushover. Delightful banter.
(Note: According to a reply in the comments section, this fic happened in an AU where Zoya didn't call Alina a racist slur, and consequently it isn't dealt with within the fic.)

Ahsoka wondered, here and then, if these demonstrations would have been more helpful to her if she had learned the way Anakin himself had, through hours of dedicated sparring; but when Anakin had tugged, gently, one of her lightsabers out of her hand, and flipped it around, and said, try deflecting now, his glove had been soaked in blood. The smears of it on her lightsaber hilt had wet her palms when she’d taken off over the top of the ridge, bouncing blasterbolts away from her with one sword, the other slashing through the droids in front of her.

Summary
Quinlan gave in first. “Fine. Ask him for help.”
“But remind him he’s not in charge,” Cody added. Obi-Wan knew that getting Cody to like Hondo was probably a lost cause, but he still hoped. Cody might put up with the Pirate Captain, but that was the extent of it.
Obi-Wan reached for his comm, dialing in the familiar code.
It took only a moment and then Hondo was answering, an exaggerated scowl on his face. “My betrayer!”
Obi-Wan rolled his eyes, not bothering to respond to the all too familiar accusation. “How do you feel about stealing something big?”
Hondo looked like he was debating with himself as to whether he wanted to continue being churlish and accusing or whether he wanted to steal things. Thankfully, in this, Hondo was very predictable. “You have drunken too much, my friend, if you have to ask.”

For a given value of "luckily." He has a bad feeling about this.

Dryly funny, foreboding, and emotional, with smooth writing and highly enjoyable takes on the characters.
Obi-Wan smiles at him for the first time and Anakin rubs engine grease into his bristling hair. Thereafter, Obi-Wan does not smile at him again, even after Anakin takes him to the wash station and instructs him on getting it out. Obi-Wan doesn't even speak to him outside terse 'Yes, Knight Skywalker' and 'No, Knight Skywalker.'
Anakin can't believe he's been treated like this by a nine year old. He has changed his mind about wanting a padawan. -

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the most realistic "The Darkling Wins" canon divergence bookverse fics I've encountered. The Aleksander/Alina bits are genuinely disturbing while also being oddly sweet in a twisted way; the understated David/Genya moments provide a much-needed counterpoint to Aleksander/Alina; and everything about the Alina and Genya friendship is *chef's kiss*. It's an appropriately depressing story without descending into full grimdarkness, and does an excellent job of maintaining the complexity and tension that are so necessary when writing a fully-dimensional The Darkling | Aleksander as well as his complicated relationship with Alina.
“I didn’t do it to please you,” Genya replied stiffly. “She’s my friend. I’ll always help her.” She paused, and added, “She’ll always have a home with me.”
“She has a home.”
“A prison is never a home.” -

Poignant and evocative.
The final time Elia is permitted to leave King's Landing, it is under a veil of grief and suspicion. King Aerys's eyes are hard and cold as he takes leave of her, lending credence to the claim that Varys had to persuade him that she was no threat. That Elia of Dorne is simply a mourning daughter, off to attend her mother's funeral, not a woman capable of toppling a kingdom.
