The Alternate by Themadwomanwhoisunfortunatelylackingabox
Fandoms: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
30 Jun 2021
Tags
Summary
Due to a transporter accident, Garak is switched with his counterpart from another universe. A universe where the wormhole doesn't exist, no one has ever heard the word "Dominion", and Garak was never exiled from Cardassia. Instead, he's a Legate. And happily married to one Mr. Julian Garak.
Suffice to say, the Alternate Garak takes the transition about as well as he can. The supposedly straight as an arrow Dr. Julian Bashir...not so much.

"This Be The Verse" Verse by Vermin_Acolyte (Vermin_Disciple), Vermin_Disciple
Fandom: Star Trek, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation
08 Dec 2023
Summary
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
-Philip Larkin, This Be The VerseOr, Vermin’s insane Babies Ever After Kidfic AU Extravaganza, which is not quite as cynical as the poem it’s named for.
The primary points of AU canon divergence here are that the baby Changeling from “The Begotten” (S5E12) survived, Jadzia was not killed in "Tears of the Prophets" (S6E26), Bashir and Garak managed to resolve all those years of UST sometime in the later seasons, and all this resulted in (nearly) everyone’s canon endings getting scrambled.

Summary
Three weeks ago, Mycroft Holmes picked Lestrade up outside New Scotland Yard and made him an offer he'd been unable to refuse, despite his best judgement. Mycroft had sucked his cock, dropped him off at home, and Lestrade hadn't heard a word from him since.
Now, the door of the black car swung open as Lestrade drew level with it. He could just see Mycroft's profile, hawkish nose and shallow chin limned by the orange glow of the streetlight.

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

Summary
-This is the last book of the series LIAB, please go read the other two books before this, or you will be very confused-
Zuko has been taken by the Earth Kingdom army to who-knows-where, and Sokka is determined to get him back.
But he can’t do it alone.
With Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors by his side, Sokka is headed to Ba Sing Se to find Katara and Aang so they can go rescue his fire bender.
Things aren’t as easy as he had hoped. Corruption, lies, and unknown horrors await them inside the city’s walls. None of this is helping Sokka’s mental well-being.
Hakoda and his men face a problem of their own as Azula approaches with the intentions of making it rain fire.
Sokka and Zuko will both find themselves having to reintegrate back into a life they thought they left behind, with people they hardly remember. It isn’t easy for anyone, especially when they don’t recognize the person standing in front of them.

Summary
Hakoda ends up a prisoner of Zhao on his ship mid Book 1 (circa the episode Bato of the Water Tribe) and ends up with an unlikely cellmate, Zuko. Zhao is an absolute vile creep towards Zuko, which sets off all of Hakoda's parental alarm bells. Zhao has his way with Zuko and Hakoda does his best to pick up the pieces.
Its me mashing together tropes I like : Zuko getting more parental figures, Zhao being a vile cockroach of a man, Hakoda in general.
I've seen similar plots with Zhao imprisoning Zuko and Sokka, and I've seen Hakoda and Zuko trapped together, but not the combination.Bookmarked by TheBraid

Summary
Canon divergence AU. For the purposes of this story, the events of Discovery Season 2 still took place but Michael and the ship were able to return to the present, at the cost of depleting their spore drive completely. Michael now captains the Discovery. Sybok, who diverted from the path of logic as a teen, emancipated himself from his father and sought refuge on Earth, where he now resides and works as a trauma-informed counsellor for Starfleet officers.
Jim is serving as a tactical officer on the Farragut, and Spock remains chief science officer of the Enterprise, with Sam Kirk as part of the team. Several starships have just returned to Starfleet HQ in San Francisco for a large conference, and during the first evening of downtime Sybok has arranged to meet up with his brother and sister. Spock and T’Pring have recently separated, and his siblings are encouraging a reluctant Spock to try to meet new people. Meanwhile, Jim and his brother reconnect after several years too far away to meet in person. A chance meeting has the older siblings noticing a surprising connection between Spock and Jim.

Summary
[Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.
“Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.
What the fuck?
“Sokka, I—”
Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.
“What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]
Or:
An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.
But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.
Yeah, nah.
