Summary
Peter’s been distant lately. Edgy. Angry. On his best days, he moves through his life in a vague daze, skipping meals and sleeping. On his worst, he’s hit with fits of anger that border on unthinking rage.
Monday afternoon, he breaks Flash Thompson’s hand.
Wednesday evening, he goes missing.
That night, the first headless corpse appears in Queens.

Summary
“Please, Arthur,” and it’s only as Arthur steps into Merlin’s personal space that he takes a step back. Merlin can see his reflection in the metal of the sword, metal he had polished just that morning, and his breathing quickens. “Please, I have not betrayed you.”
“But you have,” Arthur growls, and whether he realises it or not, he holds his sword up slightly.
And Merlin…
Merlin drops to his knees, in line with Arthur's sword, and leans forward.
“Then, kill me,” and it’s an order that Merlin speaks.
Arthur drags Merlin along on a hunt.
They discover that Merlin is more than willing to die, but only if it’s by Arthur's hand.

Summary
My growing, canon-compliant companion series to Suzanne Collin's masterwork. Depicts events Gregor didn’t witness, or key moments from other perspectives. Attention is given to background characters, showing the effect of major events on the common creatures of the Underland. Will climax in my "sequel," set 8 years later. There's some chronological overlap (especially with Epilogues), but here's the recommended reading order:
Son of the Sun
Bring Us Back Light
He Leaped
Evil Cloaked In Armor Bright*
Home Front*
Warrior In Training
Die Not the Baby
Forged By Loss*
Excursion*
Useless*
Ripred's Ward*
Summer Vacation*

Summary
Samirah snickered, “yeah, he’ll be fine.”
“So it’s not contagious or anything?” Alex inquired, letting Magnus grab at her hand and play with her fingers mindlessly.
“Not to you, at least,” Samirah scanned his room, turning towards the giant tree and mish-mashed garden in the center. She examined it for a few seconds. “It’s probably fine. It’s like demigod allergies, or something.”
“Pretty sure I’ve never had demigod allergies, or something,” Alex quipped back. Magnus was preoccupied with the ridges of her knuckles. They were quite fascinating, honestly, so delicate and nimble, and also dexterous.
“Your hand is so perfect,” he muttered with awe.
“Gee, thanks,” she smiled, then used her slender fingers to open his palm to deposit a pill. “Here is your Advil, good sir.”

Summary
Homecoming AU.
Ben and May divorced before Peter’s parents died, so when Ben is murdered Peter goes into foster care. It takes just a tiny taste of superpowers for Peter to decide he doesn’t want to put up with his horrible foster father anymore—the streets are infinitely more appealing. All he wants is to be Spider-Man anyway.
So he leaves.
Simple.
Simple, that is, until Iron Man needs Spider-Man’s help. Peter isn’t about to turn down an opportunity to fight alongside Tony Freaking Stark, but he also isn’t going to let his hero know that his recruit is a fifteen-year-old homeless dropout. So they strike a deal. Peter will help Tony. In return, the mask stays on.
And that’s when things get complicated.

Summary
One night, after a case had tracked them to an abandoned warehouse, John watched as the milky moonlight bathed the grass and their skin like some sort of filter. He looked at his hands, turning them over, studying them; sometimes he almost doubted if he existed at all.
Or; John has a depressive episode and knows he needs to tell Sherlock.

Summary
NOT ABANDONED. I'm just struggling with inspiration at the moment!
Anakin Skywalker never left Tatooine. Qui-Gon Jinn never died. Padme and Obi-Wan never met Anakin. The Clone Wars began anyway.
This is the story of a wildly Force sensitive Anakin who wants nothing to do with the Jedi and who is immediately assumed to be a Sith. This is the story of a slavery hating Padme who has to choose between the Republic and what's right. This is the story of a conflicted Obi-Wan who comes head to head with the Jedi Order's flaws and mistakes. This is the story of a living Qui-Gon Jinn who has to come to grips with his part in all that has gone wrong.
This is the story of how the Clone Wars end.
Rated M only because of violence and mature themes (noted in the tags or in chapter notes).

Summary
The man moved with the same predatory grace he always had, and if he had aged in the past five years (it was a bit hard to tell from a subpar camera on the other side of the street) then he had aged well. Which was all entirely predictable of course. No, what had thrown Q and everyone else in the ops center who had ever met Bond or read his file was the way that he was dressed - faded blue jeans with holes in the knees, a t-shirt from some unidentifiable but probably local surf shop, and-
“Are you wearing Converse?” demanded Q before he could think better of it.
Bond’s eyes unerringly found the camera through which Q was watching, an expression of vague displeasure. “Well, I don’t generally make a habit of wearing suits to fix my boat, and I doubted you had the patience for me to change.” .James Bond has been retired for five years. But when a highly sensitive mission goes to hell just a few miles from where he as settled down Q is forced to ask for his help. Bond and Q return easily to their old ways - they are also forced to finally confront their feelings for each other.

Summary
There are several things that the dwarves don't know about the hobbit that is traveling with them. Things that Bilbo is glad to let them find out for themselves along the way.
The first is that he's prepared for anything. His mother used to quiz him about what he'd do in any situation - from relatives to trolls - and Bilbo never disappointed her with his answers. Riding a pony all day gives him plenty of time to plan for everything.
The second is that he can throw a stone or any other small object hard enough to embed it several inches into a tree trunk. His accuracy is uncanny even by Shire standards. He's quite proud of it.
The third is that he doesn't actually say so many proverbs when at home but it seems to annoy the dwarves so he spends time thinking up all the ones he's heard before.
And last, hobbits scold like it is no one's business. The Dwarves he's traveling with really have no idea what will happen if they truly piss him off.

Summary
Anakin hums thoughtfully. "Your blue light? Is that the force too?"
Obi-Wan nods. "Yes, that‘s the force flowing through me. It flows through you too."
"What does it look like?"
"Like the brightest star I‘ve ever seen. You‘re a supernova."
Qui-Gon Jinn never lands on Tatooine and never finds a small slave boy called Anakin Skywalker. This is the story of said slave boy.

"It wasn't as if he had stopped writing entirely. Quite the opposite, in fact. It was just that most of what he wrote ended up thrown into the fireplace at home. What was the sense in keeping something that was sub-par?"
