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.
Kendal blinked. Yes, that was true. Falst had nothing to shield his upper body from the elements. Besides, even on a mild summer evening like this one, shirts seemed to be social convention. 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?

Summary
Vash rubs the back of his neck. "Let me try again: if I'm bothering you, I'll get out of your hair. If you want me to help fend off threats or do a bit of labor, though, I'm happy to do that."
Argist blinks.
Vash really is young, isn't he?
(Never mind that Argist himself is under a century old, still learning to bridge his varied and fractured domain, at times. Vash is younger.)
...A friendly hand wouldn't hurt.Or: the growth of an alliance, and a bond, between two vastly different city gods.

Summary
Dainix first wielded a knife when he was seven.
"Be careful," said his dad seriously. "It's very, very sharp, which is good for control, but it can slice your fingers as easily as it can slice those vegetables. Understand?"
Dainix nodded solemnly. His fingers, so much smaller than his dad's, curled around the handle of a gleaming chopping knife.
Or: a character study of Dainix and his relationships with the rest of the cast through the lens of cooking.

Summary
Draxum hands over four babies to a rat man and doesn't get attached at all. To any of them. Obviously.
The third child was far less noisy than the second, and didn’t have enough teeth yet to make his gnawing biting dangerous. He was, however, extremely wriggly.
Draxum had tried swaddling him too tightly to move, but after that resulted in horrible wails and screams, given up and simply let Donatello repeatedly attempt to climb up his arm.
“I clearly made the wrong one of you squishy,” Draxum grumbled. This earned him a threatening squint and a very deliberate chomp on his fingers. “Yes, yes, you’re very scary.”

Summary
She'd said he was smart. She definitely won't buy it if he starts acting all wide eyed and hanging on her every word – there has to be a balance.
And he’s certain he can find it – gradually agreeing with her more, acting like he believes what she says a bit more every time, asking questions about himself like he trusts her to answer with the truth – and the whole time, slowly, slowly, learning more about her. What makes her tick. What she actually wants. Figuring out how to pick apart her words to find what’s hidden underneath. He may not have his memories, but he does have a gut feeling that kind of thing is what he’s good at. He’ll make it work.Or: how do you play against someone who has all the pieces when you can't even see the board?

Summary
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.
There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.
“Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

Summary
Leo still has no idea what’s going on here, but if they’re not going to hurt him then there’s absolutely nothing to stop him from screwing with these assholes. He can do ‘recalcitrant and obnoxious’ with the best of them, as any member of his family could tell you. At length. He’s not going to cooperate at all.
He leans against the wall and smirks up at the camera with his third-smarmiest smirk. “Aw, do I get a cookie if I help you with your widdle tests?”
“No.” The door on the other side of the room opens. “You get a tomato if you do this maze.”
“Ooh, tomato maze,” Leo says, and walks through the door immediately.

Summary
The image of the buzzsaw flashed in Donnie’s head. The way it scraped and scraped against his plastron, when the uncomfortable fear turned into actual, blinding agony-
“Yeah,” Donnie said. One hand moved to cover the scratch, but Leo, as always, moved faster and snagged his wrist. “But I’ve been patching myself up, I don’t need your help.”
I don’t deserve your help, he did not say. Because they all knew, deep down, that Donatello provided a few useful gizmos, but it was outweighed by his constant mistakes and misadventures. All his brothers knew it, he didn’t have to say so.
———
After the events of Smart Lair, where Donnie has been hurt, he tries to hide in the bathroom and handle everything himself.
His brothers have other ideas.

Summary
At the last minute, Kraang Prime messes with Mikey’s portal, sending Leo to a very different dimension than the one he was supposed to go back to. When he wakes up, it’s to an apocalyptic hellscape, older versions of two of his brothers, and an older version of himself.
Leo would really like to know what he did to deserve this, though he’s pretty sure he knows the answer.
Meanwhile Future Leo, Mikey, and Donnie get a younger version of Leo on the verge of death spat out at their feet and scramble to figure out what to do. Especially when this version of Leo isn’t a version that his future self remembers at all.
(Or Leo gets sent to the Kraang Apocalypse Future that he really didn’t want to think about. Future Leo, Mikey, and Donnie are absolutely baffled by him. Nobody is happy.)

What catches Leo's attention is the way the necklace is glowing brightly.
“Euuoh boy,” he says, immediately bracing for pain when it flashes a poisonous green in his direction.
He flinches when the blast hits him.
