Peace In Smytheley by Jaspre_Rose

Summary
Post-divorce, Rose Stone née Tyler needs a change. Taking a chance that could very well come back to bite her in the arse, Rose moves to a small town she’d only ever heard about from a childhood pen-pal and settles into a beautiful home that was 4,000 miles away from her previous life in London. In Smytheley, she flourishes and finds peace, happiness, and a circle of friends she couldn’t imagine life without.
The M rating will only apply to events towards the end of the story. Just covering myself here.
Very brief appearances of Rory Williams, mentions of Lee McAvoy, blink and you'll miss it reference to Adam Mitchell, mentioned but deceased Jack Smythe Sr, mentioned but deceased Anna Victoria Smythe née Shadle
This story was one of the cutest things I've ever written. I spent a good portion of the writing process just smiling to myself. If you enjoy this story even half as much as I did, I'm gonna give myself a gold star and call it a win. Alright now. Enough with me nattering on. Without further ado, I present Peace In Smytheley. Enjoy!

Bookmarker's Notes
Author describes this as the cutest thing they've ever written, and I agree 100% because it's the cutest thing I've ever read. They love each other so much, and I love these friendships so, so much. 100% recommend if you want to read approximately 300k words of Rose and the Doctor in love with each other.

Robin’s never been regular. Her period, that is.
(Not that she’s particularly ordinary herself either, but… well, that’s a subject for another day.)

There's not a lot of fics that imagine any of the Crows as old and happy and retired, and I love this fic for that.

Bastards in Crime by timeandspace_lord

Summary
In which circumstances conspire to push Nikolai and Kaz closer than ever. AKA a fake dating crack-fic that got extremely out of hand, but has been my baby for most of a year. Book canon, post-RoW. Is it OOC? In some ways, yes, very. In other ways, I understand these characters as well as Leigh herself and that is reflected in their dynamics in the fic. Written for and with my partner.

“I say we let them do it.”
Zoya lifted her head and cocked an eyebrow. “And you’re okay letting Kaz and Nikolai play at romance? Together?”
“It would not be the strangest role Kaz has played for a job, your majesty. And, as Nikolai pointed out, it would shift almost all press attention to them.”
“It would also,” Mila said through a bite of waffle, “be fucking hilarious.”
A smile fought its way onto Inej’s face. “That’s an added bonus, as well, yes.”
Zoya threw her hands up. “I guess!”

The DeKappel Heist (and other tales) by Daroliolia
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
18 Sep 2021
Tags
Summary
Reports of the record-breaking deal hit the newsstands two days later, much to the delight of the other Dregs. Kaz had limped down the stairs that morning to find copies of the papers covering the DeKappel sale littering the landing, the Dregs milling about the parlor watching him closely with barely disguised mirth. Perhaps, Kaz considered, he’d made art theft too much his signature. Might be time to lay off.
OR: Kaz is definitely not going to steal that DeKappel. He is definitely not falling for the Wraith. He is definitely not planning on taking over the Dregs. A lot of things aren't happening, except that they are

Summary
There was a man, dressed as an Oprichnik, who was limping. He was by himself, no partner in sight, and he was, for lack of a better term, looking rather shifty. He was walking with purpose, eyes scanning the corridor in front of him, as if searching for something in particular.
Aleksander took all of this in within a moment and knew he had found the agent planted by Zlatan.
____________
Or that story where Jesper is discovered as a Durast and taken to the Little Palace. Kaz and Inej go to get him back, with Kaz disguised as an Oprichnik. Now if only the Black General would stop interfering in Kaz's rescue plans.

Summary
Ketterdam is a city of sin, but also a place where impossible dreams can come true. Inej Ghafa arrives with strong moral convictions and lofty ambitions, hoping that her law scholarship will be a ticket to a privileged world from which she can speak for those without a voice and make a difference in the lives of others. But something happens that shakes her faith to the core, and suddenly she finds herself on the precipice of accepting an offer she should refuse – from a man with blood on his hands, vengeance on his mind and hatred in his heart.

Summary
“It’s Eddie. He—” Dustin sobs, and Steve’s blood runs cold. “He chose to be a hero.”
That’s it. Eddie has to live. He doesn’t have any other option because Steve is going to be the one to kill him. Eddie doesn’t get to ignore Steve and break Dustin’s heart and then just die to get out of the consequences. No. He’s going to live, and Steve will never let him do anything this stupid again.
“Holy shit,” Steve breathes as he skids to a stop, falling to his knees beside Eddie’s limp body. He shoves Dustin off of him, wincing at how unintentionally rough that was, but he can’t slow down, can’t hesitate; he needs to act now. He doesn’t waste time checking for a pulse, just locks his fingers together, one hand over the other, and presses down on Eddie’s chest.

Um, amazing? Loving Steve's knowledge about vampire bats and venom and he exasperation with everyone when they just sit there and question him instead of trying to get out of the Upside Down.

Summary
“Back in tenth grade, he’d done his final report for World History on prophecies. The Greeks were kind of the last people who’d really made a big deal about it, even though there’d been recorded True Prophecies well into the 19th and 20th centuries. It was more that people had gotten weird about it — didn’t want to believe in predestination and a concrete future, even though it was something like a one in a billion chance you’d get a True Prophecy about yourself or even someone you knew; people just liked to feel special, Eddie thought, and hated when they weren’t — and so it had slid to the fringes of society and anyone who might have Sight got swept into the insular embrace of the Priestesses of the Quiet Sisters.” Or: Steve dies at the end. Or: a story about prophecies, love, and loopholes.

"Is there a reason you're calling this late at night?" Tony asks, worried in spite of himself. "Tell me what's going on, kid."
“Everything is one-hundred-percent fine,” Peter says. “Seriously, I've never been better. But I should let you know I have about thirty bricks of cocaine in my bedroom. Also, Karen won't let me turn off Instant Kill Mode. Also, Walmart discontinued my special razzleberry pink squeezy lemonade. Which isn't related to tonight's patrol, I'm just bummed about it.”
