Summary
After two years of murder attempts and terrible summers, ominous letters from the Ministry and adults who act like they care but never actually do anything, Harry decides to grab the basilisk by the horns. In the few weeks he has before school begins, Harry learns more about himself, his family, and his role in the magical world. When third year starts, he just hopes he's ready.
[A canon retelling starting in PoA through DH, with a Harry that's just a bit more perceptive, a Sirius with changed priorities, and a caring Theo]

Great magic-reveal fic. Characters are close to canon and I love the fact that the author didn't forget Merlin and Gwen's friendship! They're adorable friends in this and I love them.

Summary
It was a messy thing of leather and papers and rope. It looked like Phillips had carelessly thrown a bunch of documents onto an old piece of black leather and then rolled the whole thing up and tied it . . . The papers inside were all different sizes, everything out of order and haphazardly stacked, like someone had been in a hurry and just grabbed it all.

Very cute and humorous. Long, with a realistically psychologically awkward Harry. Draco is done delightfully over the top, but it works somehow. A really amusing read on his character and thought patterns.

Summary
It wasn't really him, though, he reminds himself. That was another James Kirk, one who grew up with a father, who never doubted his path in life, who was probably memorizing physics textbooks and The Art of War while Jim was busy skipping class and looking for something that would make his life feel less real.
He’d lost any chance of being that person long before he ever met Spock.
So maybe he's just jealous of himself.

Delightful. AU based off mostly book, not movies. Great handling of One mythos. Each chapter told from different dwarven perspective to great effect.

Summary
After ten years, Arthur thinks he has Merlin all figured out. But as he watches Merlin, he finds out that he has more questions than answers. The longer he thinks about it, the more uneasy he feels. So he pushes it aside. Except, he can no longer ignore the questions he has about Merlin.
Not your everyday reveal!fic.

Summary
Bucky Barnes leads quite the charmed life. He has a thriving tattoo shop, a son he adores, the world’s best dogs, and a great group of friends — almost all of whom are in relationships. And maybe he'd been the one nudging them towards each other, but there's nothing wrong with a little match-making. The world could use more romance.
As for him personally, well, he doesn’t need anyone for the long haul. Not when every girl he meets is someone who he thinks would be perfect for someone else.
But then Steve Rogers comes into his shop looking for some ink, and maybe that’s the problem right there. Maybe what he's looking for in a relationship isn't a girl at all.

"We’re alive in defiance of the law, now,” Natasha said bitterly.
“Well,” Steve said, and pushed his plate away. “We’ll just have to break in and get them.”
“Right, let’s take it from the top,” Natasha said wearily. “The Raft is a fully submersible supermax prison—“
“We can do it,” Steve said.
