Summary
AU Sarov isn't willing to take any chances with the detonation of the bomb in Murmansk. Rather than taking Alex with him, and risking the boy he views as the reincarnation of his dead son, Sarov drugs him and sends him ahead to Russia. When Alex wakes, it is to a world in the midst of a nuclear winter. Numbed by grief and terror that the general isn't done, Alex must learn to navigate his new role as Sarov's beloved son and try to carve out some room to shape his own identity under the shadow of the general's oppressive regard.

Summary
On a cold winter day, Alex encounters a strange boy who claims to be Alex Rider. The kid knows too much about Alex's life for it to be a coincidence, but at the same time has fundamental details wrong. One thing is clear, though: he needs Alex's help.

Summary
The first thing that Alex notices when he wakes up again, is the radio playing. He probably should have focused more on the fact that his hands are bound uncomfortably behind his back or that he’s lying on his side in a moving vehicle. But it’s the radio that he latches onto first. It’s a terribly kitschy Michael Bublé rendition of I’ll be home for Christmas.

Summary
Han Solo was trying to rescue her Royal Annoyingness from the Death Star when he runs smack into Vader's kid. Naturally he does the logical thing and takes him hostage. This is where the story starts.
ORLuke just wanted to get some snacks when he ran into a Wookie, a Princess and a Space Pirate. The day's pretty much downhill from there.

Luke is a genuinely good person despite everything the world has thrown at him. I really enjoy this characterization and his complicated relationship with Vader

Summary
The Darkling's tent was large and ominous and quite a distance from the cartographer’s tent, but Alina ran to it, slamming up against the oprichniki at its entrance instead of a proper stop, breath thready and voice high with exertion.
"Please," she said between great lungfuls of dusty air. "I need to see the Darkling."
"You don't belong here, Shu bint."
The urgency running through Alina's very blood coiled around itself, an anger boiling in her veins that she pushed away, willing it not to dull the momentum of her singleminded mission.
"It's about the Fold," she breathed, frustrated, muscles singing with exertion. She pulled out one of her maps from the last month out from underneath her arm, shaking it in the face of the closest oprichniki.
"It's shrinking."Two months before Mal and Alina are charted for their journey across the Fold, Alina enlists the help of the Darkling when the Fold begins to shrink. One Shadow Summoner-- and a Sun Summoner who has practiced her power every night since youth underneath thin duvets.

I really enjoy the interaction between the Darkling and Alina and Alina’s characterization as someone striving to be a good person in a complicated world.

Summary
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)
