Summary
The ghost of a line from a long-forgotten Jupiter Jim movie stirs in the back of Leo’s mind. If only there was a way to change the future, Red Fox! it whispers.
Then why don’t we change the past, Captain?
Leo’s eyes widen.
“Donnie,” he says. “What about time travel?”Or: The conversation that led to Casey Jones Jr. getting sent back in time, years before the events of the movie. Three brothers, surrounded by loss, trying to keep a shred of hope alive.
Hope is, after all, a ninja's greatest weapon.

Summary
"D'you think God's real?"
A simple question with not-so-simple answers—and the motivation behind the question is more complex than it first appears.
(Or: a conversation between the brothers, written as a character study rather than as a theological discussion. Meant to be safe and respectful of all belief systems and values. If religion is super triggering for you, then feel free to skip, but no beliefs are presented as of greater value/worth than another, and the author has no religious agenda.)

Summary
“In secret places we can think and imagine, we can feel angry or sad in peace. There is something to be said for just being, without worrying about offending anyone.”
- Frances Hodgson Burnett, “The Secret Garden”When the recently orphaned Jeon Jungkook moves to the Korean countryside to live with a relative he’s never met, the mysterious and solemn Kim Namjoon, he expects to fade into the background like he always has, a politely quiet shadow. Instead, unexpected friends quickly coax him into visibility through laughter, light, and conversation, and he finds himself happier than he’s ever been. Still, there’s something off about his new home, something—someone?—hidden and hurting, and soon Jungkook finds himself entangled in a spool of secrets, including his own.
The earth aches for a doctor, and Jungkook’s always wanted to garden.
Or: BTS meets The Secret Garden, the AU only I asked for

And why was her tío so insistent that she never tell any witch her real name?

Summary
Most of the challenges that Ted Lasso encounters when he begins coaching at AFC Richmond were more or less what he expected: still not really understanding soccer, people getting upset when he says things like 'soccer,' etc. He's got a whole new team full of players to get to know, who've all got their own stuff going on.
The part he didn't see coming is the kid he meets on his first day. Ted quickly learns a few things: his name is Jamie, he's fifteen years old, and he's the part-time groundskeeper's assistant at Nelson Road. The more time Ted spends with him, the more he learns about where Jamie fits into the Richmond ecosystem, and the more concerns he develops about just what, exactly, is going on in the kid's life outside of this building.
It's going to take Ted's determination and patience, an unlikely main ally in Roy Kent, the entire Richmond community, and Jamie's own willingness to be brave enough to let someone help him to stop Jamie from drowning. Then maybe, just maybe, they can bring him safe onto dry land.
(AU that follows the events of the three seasons of the show, with one major difference. completely gen, no ships.)

Summary
AU of movieverse. It is many years since tragedy struck the line of Durin when the youngest heir was lost to a pack of orcs. Now Bilbo Baggins, having agreed only to stealing treasure from a dragon, finds himself instead tangled up in a web of tragedy and revenge. Perhaps it's foolhardy of him to get involved at all, but really, someone has to try and keep these dwarves out of trouble. As for the rest, well, what is lost does not always stay lost forever.

Summary
Magic thrummed through her, vibrant, electric, glowing green. Her mind expanded, fractals upon fractals, growth that felt out of control, and plunged into the watery depths. Past the churning waves. Past the currents. Past where sunlight could reach, if any had been able to pierce through the storm.
Something stirred down there--something tremendous.
Or: a look into Alinua's mind during those visions of the leviathan, and an exploration of what might have become of her.

"I need a new shirt," said Falst suddenly.

Dainix was an exception, but he still had his wyrmsilk cloak.Or: Kendal and Falst spend a day in Argist together, getting up to shenanigans. What exactly happened after Kendal and Falst went up to the rooftop? How did Falst get that shirt? Was it actually totally legal?

After I touched Her mind... everything else just got so small.
There are some things that human minds simply are not meant to undergo.
