Summary
I had a useless academic background and a bow, and got stranded on the wrong side of the Atlantic when the world died. One look at the unexpected Pleasantville in the middle of biter-town wouldn’t do any harm, would it? Except I found a LOT more than I was expecting. A sheriff, a sword-wielding badass, a little old den mother and a man so rednecked he made my hand itch for some pepper spray…if only I’d known how we’d end up.

Summary
Daryl Dixon scares the hell out of you climbing out of that damn creek. It takes hauling his ass halfway across Georgia and taking a bullet for him to realise that you're not half bad. He slowly starts to come around, despite grumbling about how much he doesn't like your singing, or that you can't use a gun for shit - and don't get him started on that ugly yellow tent of yours. It takes him a while before he starts to see for himself that he's found a best friend for life, and that he doesn't actually mind the colour yellow that much, after all.

Optimistic FMC witha sense of humour and a backbone that grows with Daryl and their relationship. I like the time skips with the canon events or if something has changed the flashback to the change. Ends after Terminus, HEA.

Summary
Lavender takes one step forward and – just like the snap of a finger, the blink of an eye, the drop of a pebble – Hogwarts is left behind. There's no jump, no flashes of light, no whirlwinds of disconnected images. Just one little step; behind stood her war and in front stands 1947. "Huh," she says to herself, "didn't see this in the tea leaves."

Summary
Chrissy breaks the kiss and her cheeks hold a bright flush. She wipes the side of her mouth when some saliva has collected and smiles wide. “I think I like shotgunning.”
All Eddie can do is nod and stutter out, “Anytime you want.”
A spark in her eyes as she unwraps her legs from his and stands. Eddie misses her weight and his fingers twitch to hold her again.
“Anytime? You’d do that for me?”
Eddie would do just about anything to get her sitting on his lap again.
“Yeah, princess. I’ll do you the favor.”
-
She has to be careful. The feeling of being in control can get too addicting.
-
It never crosses Eddie's mind to deny Chrissy anything.

Summary
Mary Bennet agrees to spend the London season with the newly married Darcys. She discovers that she would still infinitely prefer a book. But hiding in the library at balls and parties is not the solution, as an odd young man keeps turning up there.
“'Miss Bennet', she says. I did not know my Conscience would have such an ordinary name.”
“I am not your conscience, sir,” Mary said, feeling made fun of and annoyed to be shaken out of her reverie for nonsense. “And whimsicality such as this, whilst charming in a child, is not so appealing in a grown man.”
“Wait,” he said. “Do wait. I am so used to speaking in that silly way with silly young women that I quite forgot myself. Please stay and talk a little more.”
(from the prompt "Mary's season in London. Her moralising is a trial to her sisters but in the end she outshines them all.")
ETA Thank you to Prinzenhasserin for helping me bounce around some ideas, and to Burglebezzlement for the offer of betaing!

Summary
During his brief stint as a prisoner of the Order, Draco Malfoy notices that Hermione doesn't look to be doing too well. He had always assumed that, given her brilliant mind and gentle nature, those on her side would ensure she is taken care of. Evidently not. Must he really do everything himself?
-
OR: Dark Draco decides he'd rather like to keep the pretty Healer for himself, since it seems no one else can take proper care of her.
A story about love and power.

Summary
Reborn just in time to join the rest of the younglings in asking Master Skywalker what they were going to do because there were too many of them.
Oh well, she had future knowledge, a tendency to be overlooked and forgotten about by the Creche Master, and the reckless abandonment of someone who knows when they die.AKA
Maria, a fan from our world, wakes up in GFFA and decides that she isn't here for a long time, but a good time. She's not here for the whole cult thing of the Jedi, but she will annoy the Sith whenever she can. Though if the Coruscant Guard could be a bit less good at spotting the unaccompanied Jedi child wandering the Senate, that would be appreciated.

Summary
She wakes with a of ghastly yellow chiffon curtain above her, with horrendous and large bedazzled flowers winking down in the faint light.
…
She looks in the mirror above a vanity that looks more like a desk, and Nicola Coughlan’s gorgeous face looks back at her. Pale and drawn face, red curls disheveled. Gauze wrapped around her head. She blinks. Once, twice at the pretty image. Moves her hand, and yes, Nicola’s hand moves with her. She touches at the gauze and has to wince at the pain in her head.
Or a very confused blogger extraordinaire wakes up as Penelope Featherington before the start of season one. Of course, in the nature of izekai, the story does not stay as it should.

Summary
How does one approach a man who lives a completely different life?
If their lives were a Venn diagram, there would be nothing in the middle.
They didn’t work together. They didn’t have the same status. One was a civilian, the other a shinobi. He asked if she was an artist, once. Clearly this was all the beginning of a relationship mentioned throughout the ages.
(Danie is beautiful. One day she wishes on a star because she's lonely - this triggers her rebirth).

What is worse than waking up in another person's body? Waking up in another person's body and finding out that you're the MAIN CHARACTER.
Oh well, at least it's only a love story and if she messed up a little no one was going to die. Just lead her own family to ruin and NOT have the epic love of a lifetime like this story was supposed to go.
Or, Elizabeth Bennet woke up on the day of the Meryton Ball and realized she was someone else.

Summary
And something exhausted and brittle in Tim just snaps. “Full disclosure: I don’t care what you think.” A thrill of fear shoots down his spine as he spits those words, but he pushes it down and steps forward, glaring. His heartbeat thunders in his ears. “Look, I’m here to make a deal and I am willing to pay. I want - ”
Between one blink and the next, a searingly hot palm presses against his chest. The demon is suddenly much, much closer. Her stare bores into him as she says, in perfect tandem with his own voice, “ - Jason Todd back from the dead."

Or, alternatively: Tim makes a deal.

Tim is an independent, clever, and super mature eleven-year-old. Unfortunately, his dopey neighbor, Bruce, can’t seem to understand that.
When he decides to disappear on a “solo camping trip” and run away to Canada, he figures it’s the perfect plan that will make everybody happy. He didn’t expect the Waynes would tag along with him and ruin everything.
A six-chaptered tale filled with identity shenanigans, s’mores, soon-to-be-brothers, and a kid who is in desperate need of a new family.

Exactly the kind of "Crack treated seriously" I love.
Tim doesn't become Robin (yet?) and instead thinks "yeah, this sucks. Maybe it would suck less if I faked my death, changed my name to Chase, and moved to Canada?"
All while Bruce is just running around trying to get a socially awkward child to just rely on an adult for 5 minutes.
The fake emails are freaking hilarious. -

Clarke isn't coping well with peacetime on the Eligius ship, and while Bellamy has woken some of the others (mainly spacekru) and tries to organise a trip to the ground, making decisions and considering all the variables, Clarke makes a choice of her own:
She'll take herself out of the equation.
OR: the post season 5 idea I had to write because all of the unresolved emotional turmoil this season is actually killing me and someone needs to notice that Clarke is in pain, for the love of god.
