    Summary

    Celegorm and Curufin, desperate and afraid for Celebrimbor's fate, take up an offer from Namo. They will leave the Halls of Mandos into unraveled threads of the tapestry of time, and go back to a moment that put the course of their doom in motion.

    They end up back in Nargothrond, several years before Beren and Luthien come seeking Finrod's help in their quest for a Silmaril. This time around, they choose differently. This changes everything.

    (It starts with smothering a much-confused and rather-pleased Celebrimbor - and Finrod - with love and attention.)

    Summary

    Six months after Jin Guangshan's death, three young adults undertake a journey to collect the last member of their fragile new family. Three-year-old Mo Xuanyu joins his siblings - Jin Zixuan, Meng Yao and Qin Su - as they navigate their way to a future built on stubborn car-seats, rainbow sneakers, plush seals and tomato-egg rice.

    A character study disguised as a once-in-a-lifetime roadtrip. An exploration of generational trauma, imperfect healing and finding the courage to be a family.

    Told through the eyes of Jin Zixuan, this is an effort to give the Jin siblings a kinder, gentler ending than canon while acknowledging the long and difficult journey of confronting cycles of inherited pain.

    Summary

    Jin Guangshan gets Jin Guangyao out of JinLinTai almost as soon as he is recognized as his son, marrying him into the Jiang Clan in a rare, matrilineal marriage when Jin Zixuan declines to renew the XuanLi engagement.
    Jin Guangyao is panicking. Yanli is fascinated by her kind, secretive husband who has told her on their wedding night that he expects nothing from her that she is not willing to give. Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian just want to make sure that he's someone worthy of their shijie.

    With Jin Guangyao now at Lotus Pier, things change; he begins to notice that something is amiss with Wei Wuxian's cultivation. Jiang Cheng gets a politically savvy brother-in-law with some very particular insights. Yanli gets a husband who is utterly devoted to her kind heart.
    And A-Yao gets a family that he never knew he wanted.

    Summary

    Jin Guangyao dies at the hand of his closest friend…and then wakes up in the room he once shared with his mother, a month before his fifteenth birthday. Determined to defy his previous fate, he takes his mother away to Laoling, where he blackmails Madam Qin into paying off Meng Shi's debt and giving them work in the Qin Sect.

    Two years later, Meng Shi is Madam Qin's bosom companion, Meng Yao is Sect Leader Qin's head clerk and trusted right hand, and Laoling Qin's prospects are rising as they prepare to host a gathering of sects great and small. This is all very well and good, except for Meng Yao's failure to consider that such an event must inevitably lead to him coming face to face with his former life's closest companions and greatest regrets—that is, Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue.

    Who both think he's fascinating.

    Summary

    Johnny Cooper is a roguish, impulsive, queer man and the youngest of the original L Detachment of the SAS. He's a terrifyingly competent and sometimes brutal soldier. But in October of 1943 his number comes up. In saving his best friend, Reg Seekings from a shelled truck in Termoli, Italy, Johnny is hit in the back by a sniper. His injuries at Termoli are life changing. He's paralyzed, and convinced he won't survive. Instead he is at the center of a medical and social revolution. Before now paralyzed men were left to die, but under the care of Dr. Ludwig Guttmann he stands a fighting chance. During the First World War almost no one with Johnny's injuries survived. However, with improved field medicine and the advent of penicillin by the end of the Second World War there are hundreds of men with spinal injuries who can live long and happy lives and must fight for their place in a world that doesn't accommodate them. Johnny's story follows the early days of the disability rights movement and the advent of the Paralympic Games. And yes dear reader, Johnny Cooper will be armed once more, just not quite in the way you might expect.

    Summary

    In an alternate timeline with no betrayal from the coven or Armand, and significantly less hatred towards one another, the Théâtre des Vampires moves to a new venue in San Francisco. It's going to be difficult to make a name for themselves out here... unless a clueless, cocaine-filled journalist just so happens to stumble right into their arms.

    Summary

    Daniel gives himself a moment to digest everything.

    Two extra copies of Armand. One wearing tights and screaming in Italian – or whatever dialect they spoke in sixteenth-century Venice – and one that looked like he just crawled out of a French sewer.

    “So this is what you were trying to hide from me? You, what -- accidentally Boys From Brazil’d yourself?” 

    Armand turns to look at him. He’s got that cute little frown line between his eyebrows, the one he gets when he’s so distracted trying to figure something out that he forgets to care about how his face looks.  

    “You are not taking this the way I anticipated.”

    Or: Daniel and Armand... and Arun, and Amadeo, and Armand (Gremlin).

    Elrond fights his way across Eregion and saves Celebrimbor from a cruel death at the hands of Sauron; in turn, he gets captured by the Deceiver, and no one is able to save him.

    On the very edge of Middle-Earth, a very ancient elf turns away from the sea he cast one of the cursed Silmarils into. He turns East, towards a lingering shadow, and sets off to find the child he raised.

    (Alternatively: The story of how Elrond Peredhel had the worst month of his life, but got to punch one of his father figures in the face by the end of it.)

    After the theft of the Silmarils Melkor is livid and decides to punish Mairon in a way that he later comes to regret.

     

    There may still be some tags to come and maybe I'll add smut - hence the rating, but it's also because of the themes of the fic. It could have probably been mature, but I'll keep it with explicit just to be safe.
