liberator! liberator! by ballantine

Summary
Brutus still cherished the idea that once Caesar was out of the way, Antony's generous nature, ambition, and love of glory would respond to the noble example set by the conspirators, and that he would join them in helping their country to achieve her liberty.
-PlutarchIn the run-up to the most famous political assassination in history, principled-to-a-fault Marcus Brutus tried unsuccessfully to recruit Caesar's right-hand man, the controversial and outrageous Mark Antony; in this story, Antony accepts. They will spend the next nine months staggering from one crisis to the next, fending off all manner of detractors, power-seekers, each other, and one particularly determined youth who in another life became the first emperor of Rome.

Summary
Goose has been dead for a week and a half when Iceman loses his first wingman in a dogfight with six Soviet MiGs over the Sea of Okhotsk.
Goose has been dead for thirty years when Iceman loses his second wingman to a surface-to-air missile on the tail-end of a mission he's responsible for: he's sent his family on a suicide mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility in Russia's Far East.
This is the story of those thirty years in the middle.
(Or: Tom Kazansky rises through the ranks while trying to stay a good man. If he ever was one to begin with.)

Summary
LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!
PLEASE DO NOT COPY TO WATTPAD. SERIOUSLY, WHY??

Summary
Men like Enjolras belonged in books: those of ancient history, once the uglier facets of reality had been dulled by a forgiving editorial hand, or in poetry; in myths and legends that were by design exemplary, idealised projections, their heroes far too perfect to be wrought of anything but paper and ink.
If Cupid had struck Grantaire with an arrow of gold, he had surely struck Enjolras with an arrow of lead.
-
Grantaire invites Enjolras into his studio, beginning a slow but profound shift in their relationship.

Summary
When the Enterprise got assigned to negotiate a trade agreement between a tiny desert planet with an elusive population, and the Federation, nobody could have possibly predicted the outcome.
Now stranded, the away team has some time to find the truth about the growing conspiracy threatening them before it becomes too late. Data and Geordi (who both seem to be hiding their real feelings), have much more than that to discuss.

Summary
By the time Rust met Marty, he hadn’t said his own name in ten months.
Longer than that since anyone had called him Rust. Morales, always precise, called him Cohle, or sometimes Officer Cohle, like Rust needed a reminder of which side of the line he was on: Rust had appreciated that. To everyone since Morales he had only been Crash.
Only two people had ever called him Rust. He didn’t like how easily Marty slipped into the number three spot, like it was waiting for him.

Summary
"No, it's fine," Julian said automatically. "But, Garak, is everything all right?"
"Captain Sisko wanted to see me," Garak said—which was so conspicuous a refusal to answer the question Julian had asked that it almost didn't qualify as an evasion. He pulled out the chair opposite Julian, and sat.
"Captain Sisko? Why?"
"Well, apparently," Garak said, "Cardassia has lodged a formal request with the Federation for my extradition."
(Or: Garak has a problem. Julian marries him to fix it. Except that means Julian also has a problem, albeit of a very different kind.)

Summary
'Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you…
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.'
- Kahlil GibranThe last few months on Enterprise have been turbulent ones for most of her crew... And it looks as though there's a lot more to come. (Set post-Terra Prime, before outbreak of Romulan War.)

He was one of the most unpredictable, bad-tempered, quick on the trigger, vicious hombres as you would ever hope not to meet, at least if you listened to the stories folks told; for my part, I never had a lick of trouble with him.

Summary
Uriel doesn't understand why the house party to which it and Little Ash were invited would be illegal, or why everyone keeps assuming that it wouldn't like the people there just because it's so frum. It especially doesn't understand why everyone is ignoring it while crowding around Little Ash.
But it said it would follow Little Ash anywhere, so here it is.
Contains a loving homage to early 20th-century LGBT culture, dancing, kissing, troublemaking, trouble-solving, adorable confusion, and lots of feelings.

Summary
We stared out the window for a while. When I looked back, Terry's drink was empty. Mine was too. A lock of his funny white hair had come loose and was hanging like a comma over one eyebrow. It was a little dashing and a little depressing.
"You know," he said, "I think that's the first time you've ever really asked me anything about myself."
"That's not true," I said, unsure if I was right.
He leaned forward and put his chin in one hand. "If you knew anything about me, I suppose you wouldn't like me anymore."
(Afternoon drinks in the rain)

Summary
Life after war has much more politics than Gimli thought, and much less Legolas than he would like, but the latter he knows (or believes) he has to get used to. Or: Legolas leaps, occasionally stumbling, into a new age, while Gimli can't see the wood for the (green)leaf.
"How do your people court then?"
The question was not as abrupt as it would seem, firstly because the news that his brother was courting had clearly left Legolas in deep thought for a number of days, secondly because Legolas had long ago confessed his curiosity about the lives and customs of Gimli's kin, and thirdly because Legolas' grace was well-known to be in his light feet and not his manners.
However, Gimli saw no reason to let him have his own way entirely. "And by my people do you mean the Longbeards, or the Dwarves of Erebor, or the wandering mender that I now seem to be?"
"I meant," Legolas said, "wandering jesters."
