    Summary

    She had to appreciate both the lesson and the warning in the realization that an established course, one of reason — however twisted that reason had been — had changed so easily with nothing but a word.

    (The Course of Reason) Can Change with a Single Word by xfphile
    The Rogues are about to get pardons, and Tony Stark has been forced to present them. Of course, Rogers throws everything back in his face... but they're unaware of their audience.
    Best singular breakdown I've seen of everything wrong with CW.

    Summary

    In this world, Anakin Skywalker is not Force-sensitive. His mother, being very loving and very smart, makes sure that he gets sent to the Jedi Temple for training anyway. This changes a lot, but not as much as you might think.

    that time a kid pretended to be force-sensitive to get off Tatooine, by killbothtwins
    SW AU fix-it. Anakin is a con-man, Obi-wan's an enabler, Jar Jar has the strangest luck and the galaxy will never know what hit it. Great reimagining of Anakin that feels in character while giving him some depth and common sense.

    In which I (with my tongue firmly in my cheek) lay out evidence for why How to Train Your Dragon is a post-apocalyptic story - set in the far future of Jurassic Park and its genetic manipulation of dinosaurs.

    Anachronism and Inaccuracy: Resetting How To Train Your Dragon in the Post-Apocalypse, by afterandalasia
    Meta speculating that HTTYD is actually a post-Apocalypic world resulting from Jurassic Park's genetic tampering. Honestly makes more sense than canon. 2 chapters.

    Summary

    It becomes apparent that the spell is a sleeping spell. Unfortunately, that's the only thing that becomes apparent. Unlike any other morning, the problem can't be solved with Merlin grasping his shoulders and shaking him awake; it can't be solved by the stream of sunlight through the window aimed unerringly at his bed or the tantalizing scent of his favorite breakfast at the table or even the promise of tormenting his servant through one more exasperating day. If Merlin tries all of these things, it is only out of his own growing sense of desperation, not because he actually expects any of them to work.

    At times Arthur has the nerve to snore or sniffle in his sleep, turning this way or that to find a more comfortable position, grasping for his pillow. In moments like these, Merlin will sit at the edge of the bed and talk with more urgency, trying to draw him back into consciousness, daring to hope that if he says just the right words, Arthur will wake.

    But the prat sleeps on, unimpressed.

    And hours turn into days turn into a week.

    (Or: A sorceress puts Arthur into an enchanted sleep. That's just the start of the problems.)

    twist of fate by sulky_croissant
    Arthur is hit by a sleeping spell. Merlin realizes that to save his friend, he's going to have to try something new: honesty. Magic reveal, politics, friendship, canon-typical violence. Not my show, but I like this story.

    Summary

    After waking up 70 years in the future, Steve thought that dealing with his fraying emotions while trying to lead a group of misfit super heroes would be the worst of his problems.

    That is until he's fighting a doppelganger version of himself who whispers three impossible words.
    "Bucky... is... alive."

    And then JARVIS has some interesting footage for him and Tony to see, and Steve soon finds himself doing something he never could have imagined; diving deep undercover in Hydra.

    Alternatively by 16woodsequ
    The Time Heist has... side effects. Post-Avengers Tony and Steve realize that they're surrounded by Hydra, and Steve goes deep undercover to take them down. Interesting reimagining of Data Dump - if it *had* to happen, it should have gone more like this. 20 chapters.
