Summary
Jim Kirk, son to the Ambassadors of Earth, spends his days aboard the Enterprise performing mind-numbing duties that fall way below his skill set as a Starfleet officer. He wants to prove to his parents that he's capable of having a more important role on the ship, and that his passion for Starfleet's mission of exploration and discovery are being wasted in his lonely duties on the lower decks.
Spock, son to Vulcan Prime Minister Sarek and Vulcan Ambassador Amanda Grayson, also dreams of a life unconstrained from his parents' expectations. The upcoming alliance talks between Vulcan and the Federation are his chance to show them that he could be more than just a lowly scientist on Vulcan -- that his work could extend further into the galaxy and allow for greater scientific discovery. But personal obligations are currently keeping him tied to Vulcan, and he's prepared to do whatever it takes to leave them behind.
Both of them want more for themselves than the lives handed to them by their parents. And when the two of them meet, there’s nothing in the galaxy that will keep them apart.
It’s Romeo and Juliet, but make it Spirk.

Summary
Selected and edited by Mr. Frodo Baggins from a trunk full of letters and documents bequeathed to him along with Bag End. There are many more letters, particularly from the King of Erebor, Thorin Oakenshield, which are not included. The letters of Bilbo Baggins over this time, while many and varied, are preserved in the archives of Erebor and are not replicated here. The letters excerpted below cover a span of twenty-six years: from Third Age 2942, when Bilbo returned to the Shire from the Lonely Mountain for the first time, to T.A. 2968.

Summary
Four months after the Croatoan virus wiped out most of the world's population, Dean's sole objective is to meet his brother at their agreed-upon rendezvous point in Idaho. But when he encounters a mysterious, blue-eyed man in a barn, Dean's plans begin to change. The end of the world is no time for romance, yet there's something about Cas he can't resist. The problem is, Cas has a secret—and it just might prove more deadly than the Croats.

Summary
I am a 28 year old felon with no high school degree, and a dirty old van one year younger than me painted like Eddie Van Halen’s guitar. I can play anywhere between the ages of 20 and 29 depending on if i shave. I’m a line cook and work late nights at a bar. If you’d like to have me as your stictly platonic date for Thanksgiving, but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship with you, to torment your family, I’m game.
(Marty meets Rust for the first time on Thanksgiving. On Craigslist.)

Summary
EDIT: Alright, this is getting out of hand y’all. Let me say this for the final time: my brother is not a serial killer. He would NEVER lay a hand on a person, alright, the dude doesn’t even eat meat because he thinks it’s animal cruelty! He is a GOOD man.

Summary
It’s a beautiful, sunny day in Seoul and Gi-hun has exactly six days before the loan sharks come for his kidney.
It's only been five minutes outside and he’s already deeply regretting not taking the hundred thousand won from the salesman. What kind of post-slap clarity had made him refuse the money? Whatever it was, he sure wasn’t feeling it anymore. It’s not like the salesman needed the money either. He was clearly well off if he was playing such games with random men in the subway!
---
Gi-hun doesn’t take the money from the salesman. Somehow, everything turns out alright.

Summary
“Arthur.”
Merlin is stumbling, barefoot, ungainly, down to the water’s edge before he has even made sense of what he’s seeing. He stands there, too hopeful to breathe, and watches the spot where the water tangles.
A hand. A head. Shoulders, a cape of water, and Merlin is running, crashing through the water, to the figure climbing out of the lake.
They meet where the water is waist-deep, and there they stop, several feet apart.
But it isn’t Arthur.
It’s Merlin.
Or, a grieving warlock tries to bring back his king.

Summary
“Merlin.”
His hair, his eyes, his smile. Merlin knew it all by heart, but still it took him by surprise. It— the wonder, the love, the ache— crowded everything else out.
“Arthur,” he returned, and could not help but smile.
His name had always sounded like a smile.
“Hū lange slēp ic?”
Merlin froze.
Or, Arthur comes home— but what does it mean to come home, when the word for home has changed?

Summary
The first thing Arthur remembers is water.
And Merlin.
He wakes in a familiar Camelot that feels just slightly... wrong. The sun is too still. The smiles too perfect. And Merlin - always there, always watching.
He doesn't tell him the truth, though...

Summary
If you see an Orc, run. Run and do not look back. Find safety, find shelter, find a weapon -- do not let it near you. Orcs eat people, but their bites do not simply kill; they keep a person awake long after death. Ten minutes to live, ten days to die. It is a terrible death, and no one bitten can be saved.

Summary
...Bilbo had been shocked still, and had halfway convinced himself it was a dream. But the muddy prints and stench remained.
Bilbo realized, right then.
He had just spoken to something Other, and it sought his immortal soul.
(or, something follows Bilbo home after a picnic on the lake of his estate; it wears his husband's face.)

Summary
Erebor is stone, and Thorin is dead.
He won't remain that way long if Bilbo gets his way.
And Bilbo generally gets his way.

Summary
AU- Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies
On the road to Erebor, Thorin and Bilbo found love, but after Bilbo's betrayal before the battle their relationship shattered. At the battle, Thorin was never fatally wounded and so never reconciled with Bilbo. Fearing that Goldlust still clouded Thorin’s mind, Bilbo chose to stay near Erebor (despite his banishment) in order to better protect his friends. Set two years post-BotFA, Bilbo works in the kitchens disguised as a dwarf below and Thorin rules with regret aboveSeries

Summary
Thorin and Company have finally reached a safe house after a few crazy weeks on the road. After three days of goblins, orcs, and a massive bear that's chased them into the home of one of Gandalf's acquaintances the Company is quite exhausted and quite tired of surprises. Unfortunately for them, or fortunately there is another staying there.
Master Baggins is not who the Company expected to find, especially when he claims to be one of the only outsiders Durin allowed a title and a rank to. Although that's the least surprising thing about him.
Thorin makes some discoveries and has some observations.
Basically an AU where Bilbo is a skinchanger and the Company meet him at Beorn's on accident.
Back by popular demand with more chapters! Thank you for all the support.

Summary
“Wanna give it to Morelli?” Wayne asked. He didn’t know exactly what went down between Roland and Purcell in the years since the case was opened, but whatever it was had conflict written in every line of Roland’s face.
Roland dragged a face across his face, closed his eyes, and heaved out a sigh, considering. Finally relented, “Alright, let Morelli take it."

Summary
Roland knows this man, recognizes those hollowed cheeks and sheepdog eyes. The man’s eyes have gone to Wayne first. It’s like the moment after being thrown from a bull, when he hasn’t hit the ground yet, but he can see it hurtling towards him.
The man shifts his gaze from Wayne to Roland. His mouth opens. Roland can see the jolt of surprise across his face.
Roland moves fast. “Mr. Purcell, we’re with the Arkansas State Police. I’m Detective West, this is my partner, Detective Hays. We’re here to help find your kids.”
a.k.a. that one where Tom and Roland met at a gay bar first.

Summary
She remembers his blue-grey eyes – bright, with the delicious colours of the earth and sky serving as a backdrop to his smiling, crooked face. She remembers the dark fluttering of eyelashes against his skin, the tangles of blonde through his hair and the paleness of her hand against the dark stubble on his cheek...
