They say that boys go to war, and men come back from it. When Sergeant James Barnes is deployed to the front lines in 1943, he learns that living through war means living in the shadow of death every minute of every day — and that even in the thrall of that dark shadow, hope and love can blossom in the unlikeliest of places.

Inspired by Silver Queen's "Dreaming of Sunshine." Ripples turn into waves and crash upon the shores of what is and what could be, and I was just someone else who got pulled under. I didn't realize that even a drowning person makes waves of their own. A SI OC story.

On the anniversary of their father's disappearance, three sisters set out to hike around their favorite lake. A freak storm sends them far from their average lives and into the arms of peril. On their adventure to find a way home they meet new friends, terrible enemies, and great love. The way home holds the greatest of costs, however.

Converting elf fans to dwarf fans one chapter at a time.

Once, a man driven by love nearly ended the world in hate. 200 years have passed since Meteorfall. A film crew documents a derelict mountain village shrouded in snow. Isolated from the world, it's rumored the Lifestream runs black there and spirits of the dead stalk its grounds. Their guide is Wolf, a man with odd blue eyes. He likes to smile. He also says some memories never die.

Bucky struggles to find himself. Takes place post Winter Soldier, pre Civil War.

From Rohan he came, but he was not one of the Rohirrim. Thorongil he was called, the Eagle of the Star, and he was the son of no man. Strong was his sword arm, unfailing his courage. Yet not all welcomed the stranger to Minas Tirith...

A rogue stick grenade blasts 2nd Lieutenant Ernest Thornhill and Sergeant Bertie Davies far from the Battle of the Somme. It would be a welcome break from the mud, if they could communicate with the locals...

"Look in the mirror and see yourself for what you truly are. You're a New Yorker. You're a hero. This is your Hell's Kitchen." Noriko paused for a moment and looked around at all the people that walked past her. The teenager subconsciously reached under her sweatshirt and felt the spot where a straight, vertical scar ran for about an inch. "Welcome Home."

Post-Meteor, WRO scientist Tess FitzEvan struggles to build a new life on Gaia. Not the easiest task on a wounded, alien planet where old threats linger, new ones loom, and a charmingly infuriating Turk keeps whirling in and out of her life like a red tornado. It will get worse. Can it get better? [Sequel to "The Unwelcome Guest"]

Being ripped from the world I knew without warning was more than uncomfortable. I could have used the warning to put clothes on, but the soul ripping? Could have done without it.

I have no idea where this was going I just want a PM/Naruto crossover where San and Ashitaka are mistaken for misplaced Inuzuka/Hatake and Nara. I don't own Naruto or Princess Mononoke.

A series of connected one-shots that happen after season five. 1: "Derek's Homecoming"; 2: "Isaac Returns to the Pack"; 3: "Jackson Returns"; 4: "The Truth Cannot Be Long Hidden"; 5: "just wasting my time on the moon"; 6: "See How They Run"; 7: "Reforging Bonds - A Prequel to After"; 8: "Hemicorporectomy"; 9: "The World Knows Our Name"

"They're turning you into a soldier, aren't they?" she asked, running her fingers through his hair. He closed his eyes whenever she did this, trying to pretend he didn't know it was happening, as though he was more likely to get away with it that way. (The strands reached past his shoulders by then, and slipped between Ifalna's fingers more smoothly than Aerith's ever had.)

Some 'Neighbor' AUs taken from a post on tumblr. All are Darcy Lewis-centric who interacts with various Marvel characters ;)

Hydra takes an interest in the Nogitsune (and how Stiles was able to remove him). The Avengers take an interest in Stiles (and Malia). The Beacon Hills pack (mainly Scott and Lydia) realize they should have taken a little more interest in Stiles and Malia from the start. Now Hydra is after Stiles and the Avengers have adopted a boy and his pet coyote. (Stiles&Malia friendship)

"But mostly Ulmo speaks to those who dwell in Middle-earth with voices that are heard only as the music of water. For all seas, lakes, rivers, fountains and springs are his government; so that the Elves say that the spirit of Ulmo runs in all the veins of the world." A series of drabbles involving the waters of Middle-earth.

It's just as it says on the tin; there's Tolkien-themed limericks within. Some silly and glad, some mournful and sad. I hope that you'll give it a skim.

The fearless leader of the Rebel Alliance, Princess Leia Organa, once again falls into the hands of the Empire. AU Story.

Cissnei thinks emotions only happen to other people. Reno explodes in violence whenever his are triggered. Both are teenagers trying to find their place in a world that already failed them. Both are offered a future they thought they'd never have. She wants it. He doesn't. Neither really understands what it'll cost them, but what they gain in return might just be worth it.

"...Thus, when I awoke outside on a warm, muggy day, blades of grass pricking my cheek, with no memory at all of how I could have gotten there, I calmly sat up and observed my surroundings." Semi-self insert garbage. An attempt at realism, I guess? Disclaimer for the whole story: I own nothing.

The Herald of Andraste is an enigma to all her companions, and their discussions of her origins (and more questionable attributes) leave them with more questions than answers. Honorary mentions: Yoda.

A peculiar ranger of southern Ithilien is reassigned to Osgiliath with his unit, finding himself serving under Faramir and his elder, Captain-General brother. The man would rather be reading books and harassing Haradrim at his former post than combating orcs from Mordor with the Steward-sons. Will they come to learn something from this quirky, novel-reading man? Is he a man at all?

Matt Murdock saves people all the time. They usually don't send people after him to repay him. Repayment is usually not in the form of a new bossy roommate.

Phoebe receives a special letter from a special little boy. A very special little boy.

May the Force be with you, Carrie Fisher. We will never forget you. *Death wasn't new to her. She had seen her planet destroyed, and her friends and fellows die to save the universe. She had felt it rip her father and then husband away from her. Now… now it was time to rejoin them.

Nina was unexpectedly dropped into Middle Earth in company of an irritating Mary Sue. Follow Nina on this insane adventure as she tries to stop everyone falling in love with the Sue, stop the canon from being destroyed and avoid death by orcs. Now rated M for language and violence.

What happens when a modern woman is summoned to Thedas? She's imprisoned to start with.

Ashy steam rises from the depths of Skyhold's waterfall. It's a wonder no one ever thought to investigate its source. Or: What do you do when you find a four ton, fire-breathing, flying lizard living quite comfortably under your recently renovated castle?

With a wounded comrade to bear, Aragorn stumbles into Staddle on a rain-soaked evening. Seasons of Bree-land Quartet: Spring.

Because sometimes the law is stacked against women, and sometimes the law is an ass, and sometimes we need a good fantasy about a shieldmaiden who can right wrongs. (Trigger warnings - rape, albeit off screen, rape trials, horrible defence arguments).

Sirius doesn't scream when he is thrown into Azkaban. Not once. Instead, he whispers. To himself, to his friends that are either dead or traitors or a hundred miles away, to his family that has abandoned him long before he went to Azkaban, and he never gets an answer. Until, one day, he does.

Werefox!Stiles AU. Scott gets bitten by a rogue Alpha and there is no way Stiles is letting the Hales have him.

A healer can only watch and wait as the Black Breath kills his patients.

In which Peter is captured, crash lands, and captured again. Coming home wasn't going how he thought it would.

Intercision; the practise of severing the bond between human and daemon. When children begin to go missing, everyone fears the worst. When the children are returned, their fears are realized. There's no treatment. There's no cure. And for a member of the BAU, trapped within the facility itself, there's absolutely no time. [Runner up Best Team/Case for the 2016 Profiler's Choice]

Face it, girls, there's not much you can do if you fall into Middle Earth all alone and helpless. Rated for language, themes, and a couple swearwords. Character death in the final chapter. COMPLETE.

Waking up in the middle of a death battle with needles flying at him hadn't been one of Cloud's better days. Seeing a limp black-haired body cradled in his arms with said needles sticking out of his neck made it even worse. But that's just the beginning: "Hey you, makeup guy. You've been quiet. What's your beef with Konoha?" She pointed at him. Kankuro sputtered, "It's face paint!"

My take on what would actually happen if two random best friends fell into Middle-earth.

Addenda to 'A Long and Weary Way', including supporting information and a series of short stories set after the War of the Ring.

Amidst the flying battle involving seven Potters, one just so happens to disappear; and it's the original. By some stroke of madness, Harry finds himself drenching wet from the river Thames and face-to-face with a man wearing an eyepatch. Demands are made. A strange new world is thrown in a wary young man's face while Aliens bring chaos. (REVISING)

Leia thinks about telling Han something

Stop Sephiroth. Save Zack. Defeat Jenova. It all seems impossible; I'm just one person. But if I'm going to be trapped here, thrust into the world of Final Fantasy VII by some forces beyond my control, then I have to at least try. Maybe along the way I'll find a way home. Self-insert.

Rey dreams of a dead man. No, not that one.

We know how they died, but how did they live? A story of Wardens without a blight. Chapter 74: "I'm no bloody Orlesian and I'm hung-over. I hope you don't count on my participation."

Takes place near the end of The Force Awakens. Leia has a vision after the events of the Battle at Starkiller Base. Major spoilers for the new movie; don't read if you haven't seen it yet!

Theoretically, JARVIS was only a computer program; but 'theoretically' and 'practically' weren't the same thing. Especially not to Tony Stark, who'd been blowing past benchmarks since the day he'd built his first circuit.

The one where Rey grows up alone on Jakku. Well, not completely alone. It turns out her grandfather knows a thing or two about living in the desert. (speculation fic, soon to be AU)

Being alone for hundreds of years can do things to your head. Thaunâris knows this for a fact. Spending her days tormenting the rangers of Ithilien, she faces a sudden change when she finds herself in the dungeons of the Dark Lord… Poor Sauron. And he thought Melkor was annoying? Ha. Possible Sauron/OC? *title subject to change*

A missing cat causes problems for Faramir and his family.

After fifteen years of fruitlessly searching for the creature called Gollum, Gandalf forsook the hunt. Though Aragorn persevered for a time, tracking his quarry on the marches of Mordor, he too despaired at last and began his homeward journey...

'PVT James Bight, Royal Berkshire Regiment. K.I.A.' We are now aware that Sergeant Davies and his platoon commander were whisked off to Rhudaur on the first of July, nineteen-sixteen.

'Dear Gods did he not know any better after all this time than to bet with Damrod? ' Faramir deals with the repercussions of his actions. Inspired by Annafan's wonderful betting rangers in "A Tight Space". T for language.

Ever since the Lord of the Rings movies came out, Mary has been a fan of Tolkien. She's read and re-read every book, knows everything there is to know, yet even she could not have foreseen that she would be chosen to go to Middle-Earth.

Hawke is thrown into a strange new world, a place where magic is a valued skill, demons live in glowing marbles, and the people are just crazy enough to be her friends. "Hurtled into the chaos you fight, and the world will shake before you. Is it fate or chance? I can never decide..."

When a nasty bunch of rogue Templars discover her young son's got magic, Lilith rushes him away from their home in the Hinterlands.

And when the Inquisition comes knocking, they both find themselves in more trouble than they could possibly imagine.

Tatooine wasn't home for her in the way it was for Luke. But for Leia, who would never go home again, Tatooine – at least, this part of Tatooine – was strangely comforting.

Shmi tends her injured son and shares the old, old story of how Ekkreth the trickster escaped slavery. And Anakin will remember.

How many geniuses does it take to change a lightbulb? Or in the case of the SGC: figure out the dohickey that could be a weather manipulator, a bomb or a fancy, intergalactic tape dispenser? Well, that depends on who you ask. And whether or not Daniel's involved. Because Daniel's not above cheating... Takes place some time after the end of SG1 and the Avengers movie. One-shot

The Avengers are battling a new threat when a newcomer- who just so happens to have the same power as the enemy- helps the Avengers out, and S.H.I.E.L.D obtains their first ever wand-wielder who just so happens to be Steve Rogers' new friend. Whoever said America was a great place for a fresh start was sorely mistaken.

Seriously, the number of times Stiles has been caught in the vicinity of a dead body by cops you'd think he'd be good at lying his way out of trouble. -or- The time Tony gets kidnapped by this really weird cult and he should really learn to listen to Gibbs gut, because he's pretty sure tall, dark and intense over there is going to just end up killing him

A "Blood Curdling Sight Seeing in the Middle Earth" off-shot. A "what if" exploring the scenario where Olga and Boromir had not fallen at Morannon. Lovingly betaed by annafan, without whose prodding this piece would never have been written.

"Right, because everyone needs a little more soap opera in their life." Of all the things Stiles was expecting, he could safely say that long-lost relatives were not at the top of the list.

Four times the BAU profiled the Avengers, and one time the Avengers returned the favor.

Aragorn and Faramir encounter a mysterious bartender, an inquisitive girl, and a remarkable cat at their favourite tavern.

"And what do you turn into?" "Abominable Snowman," Stiles dead-panned. "But it's more of a seasonal thing." Except it kind of wasn't seasonal at all. A drabbly series about how Mama and Papa Stilinski met and had Stiles. And how Stiles kicked butt.

In which Natasha is a witch and Clint's useless in a fight. That is, just because your heart's outside your body doesn't mean people see it (Loquis lands on Clint's nose, and spreads her wings like a gossamer mask. "Oh baby," she laughs, "we're all monsters here.")
