The Game Is Not Played Alone by [archiveofourown.org profile] Killbothtwins
The Sith's favorite assassin was not always what he is now, and the Dark's influence is starting to slip. Anakin Skywalker will stop at nothing to get him back. But in the end, it's up to Obi-Wan Kenobi to save himself. (With a little help from his friends.) Long, enjoyable Winter Soldier AU.

Good Omens

Devilishly Heavenly Bakes by [archiveofourown.org profile] junkshopdisco
Twitter vicar Reverend Aziraphale and former lead singer of the Hell Hounds Anthony Crowley have both enrolled for a special festive edition of the Great British Bake Off. Aziraphale needs to win to prove to the diocese that he can take a more modern message to the masses, while Crowley is looking to rehabilitate his image as a Devil-worshipping bad boy.

Early on, they identify each other as tough competition and set out to secure victory—tackling unexpected weddings, storms, and Sargent Shadwell, who may well accidentally blow the tent up before they make it to the Show Stopper.
This is really lovely.

Mustard Gas & Roses by [archiveofourown.org profile] husborth
Anakin doesn't turn to the Dark Side, but he does get a little set on fire in the fated battle that destroys the Sith, and Padme for reasons somewhat relatedly to the fact that a Sith Lord was in charge of the Republic decides to have something of a nervous breakdown and flee the Republic. After committing some light treason. They fuck off to Naboo and have run-of-the-mill Good End AU adventures, kind of, and Obi-Wan tags along, kind of. I'm enjoying this AU quite a lot - 4 stories so far!

The Astute Tourist's Guide to Ketterdam by [archiveofourown.org profile] terribletruths
Most sensible people avoid the Barrel during major celebrations, out of a healthy sense of self-preservation and fondness for their limbs and wallets. Kaz, on the other hand, does not have the luxury of avoiding everyone else's good cheer. What he does have is a useless gang full of teenage idiots, an irritatingly persistent three-legged dog, a few memories he'd rather forget, and a time limit. Oh Kaz. This is a lot of fun.

Life Imitates Art by [archiveofourown.org profile] teacup_tyrant
"Inej," Marya started, placing her cup and saucer down carefully on the side table. "I wonder if you would consider sitting for a portrait for me. Have you ever had your likeness taken before?"

"I... no, I haven't," she said, heart fluttering at being paid such a high compliment. Having a portrait of herself had never even crossed her mind. She knew that the process took time and effort and usually a lot of money. It was a frivolous thing that the wealthy and important would commission to line the walls of their grand staircases so they could watch over their future generations. Paintings were not for someone like her.

"I wonder..." Marya began, a sly grin spreading across her face. "Do you think we could convince Kaz to join you?"
This is really lovely. (It's marked 1/2 but it appears to be complete)

Spider-Man

Through the Wilderness by [archiveofourown.org profile] Traincat
"Now you are suitable – completely untouched. Pure as new snow. All that trapped fire, in more ways than one… The perfect sacrifice."

Johnny's face had gone bloodless, his mouth hanging open. It took Peter a second for the reason to catch up to him, busy as he was, but then it hit him like the proverbial freight train: he'd said it himself, after all. He made a poor sacrifice because he wasn'’t a virgin.

Johnny, apparently, was.

--

An encounter with some cultists leads Peter to an interesting revelation about Johnny that he can't stop thinking about. Another encounter at Security College gives him something to do about it.
Aw, this is a lot of fun.

After more than ten years, they are almost ready to make some decisions, but first they decide to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail together. Along the way, Gansey revisits memories of the childhood that turned him into a lover of forests, mysteries, and traveling the world. Meanwhile, Ronan and Adam are creating their own family back at the Barns. Thoughtful and wistful look at Gansey as he and Blue make their way back home.

Blue Rendezvous by [archiveofourown.org profile] beepbeepsan
When Zuko frees Appa from the Dai Li, he’s forced to flee Ba Sing Se along with Sokka. Separated from Iroh and the Gaang, the two boys end up camping together while waiting for the dust to settle.

The catch? Zuko is still disguised as the Blue Spirit, and Sokka wants to be his friend.
Sokka's life-changing road trip with Zuko happens a little earlier than canon. I enjoyed this a lot.

Both Kaz and Inej have been known by many names throughout their lives--Dirtyhands, the Wraith, Bastard of the Barrel, Lynx. Some are more preferable than others.
