All’s Well That Ends Well (To End Up With You) by aRegularJo
Fandoms: Bridgerton (TV), Bridgerton Series - Julia Quinn

Summary
Anthony Bridgerton does *not* want to marry Kate Sharma. And Kate Sharma definitely doesn’t have time to date Anthony Bridgerton. But a friends-with-benefits contract? That’s rational; in fact, it’s really just good sense.
Things escalate quickly.
Or:
A modern, deconstructed Bridgerton (mostly) rom-dram. Kate, Anthony, their issues, and their families romp through a season in London.

Shrouded Destiny by Gladiusx
Fandoms: A Song of Ice and Fire - George R. R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms
17 Feb 2025

Summary
The Song is sung, and the Dawn is won, but the victory is bittersweet, and the cost is too high. Yet there is little that could not be done with magic if you were willing to pay the price. Dues are paid, fates are changed, and even destiny itself is covered with a shroud. AU + Time travel. Or alternately:
The Battle for the Dawn is won, but everyone Bran knew was dead, so he throws a tantrum of epic proportions and drags Bloodraven into tossing unsuspecting and just freshly killed Jon Snow back into the past by sacrificing themselves. Messing with time makes ripples in the timeline, and some things are not the same.

Summary
Witness the ripples of changing one aspect of Jaime's time as the Mad King's guard...
A canon-divergent Jaimsa. A character study on Jaime Lannister. A 'what could have been', or, IMO, 'what more likely would have happened'. Or, if I'm honest, a 'what I wish happened'. Despite dark experiences in Jaime's past, which haunt his present, this will be a fun, fluffy, funny, smutty fic.
GRRM's sandbox, I'm just playing in it, hopefully not shitting in it.
Fan Praise for An Honorable Man:
"Easily one of my favorite Jaimsa Fic!!"
"You deftly weaved the different pov's into a great narrative... I couldn't put it down."
"Gotta be one of the best fanfics I've read"
"Genuinely one of the best fics I’ve read... I've read every ship imaginable. This is one of two to actually accomplish everything it said it would. Fucking brilliant."
"my favorite Jaime/Sansa story... Your writing is lovely and some of the best I've seen across all fandoms."
"I loved this story from beginning to end"
"A wonderful Jaime and Sansa fic, the best one I’ve read."
"One of my favorites on this site. I must've read it completely at least five times."- Language:

Summary
“Any other ideas?” Tommy asks.
His brother is at least a little less snappish now, like distribution of responsibility across all four of them has at least let him relax slightly. It’s a small enough accomplishment, Joel considers, but it is still something.
God knows they need at least one win.
“See if one of the bird dogs can flush him out?” Tess suggests dryly as they all look back over to Maria jerking forward before Ollie’s delighted shriek rings out once more as he evades her yet again.
It’s Maria stopping Ellie from crawling in that gives him an idea he partially wants to discard at once. All four of them are too big to fit through the tiny entrance into the space–and God wouldn’t he love to ask whoever the fuck designed it in the first place what the hell they were thinking–but Ellie…
Ellie would have no problem at all crawling right in.
(when 2 year old ollie gets into the crawlspace and won't come out, 6 year old ellie is sent in after him) (surely this will go well and not terribly at ALL)

Summary
Watching him with Ellie feels like observing a stranger driving Joel’s body.
“What?” He asks more than once, clearly self-conscious when he catches her staring.
“Nothing,” she always says immediately.
She doesn’t know how to tell him that things are clicking into place for her about him, watching how he parents. Even still determinedly grumpy, he’s gentle like he can’t help it, sweet with Ellie in a way that makes her eyes sting a little bit. He’s firm on rules and still acts a bit like a dick because he can’t admit that the kid’s cute and endearing, but she watches him negotiate naptime and stick hot food into the freezer to cool it down for a little mouth and sit on the floor to color and get bossed around playing imaginary restaurant, and all she can think of is that she feels like she’s really seeing the true him for the first time, the full scope of the man she’s only gotten to know through the cracks in the walls he’s built. She’d thought she’d done good work chiseling a way in over the years, but seeing him with Ellie makes it clear that there was a gate she was never going to be able to get through on her own.

a half-step to the left by PenAndInkPrincess

Summary
It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.
And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.
There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.
So, trailing them at a distance it is.
(AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

Summary
When he dreams, he dreams of Winterfell.
He dreams of the Stark estate, nestled deep in the Vermont countryside, he dreams of running through the halls with Robb, snowball fights with Arya and Bran, watching little Rickon teeter around on his tiny legs, helping Sansa gather flowers from the gardens. He dreams of playing hide and seek, running through the woods, breathless and joyous and free.
He dreams of Ned's hand on his shoulder and Catelyn's warm hug.
He dreams of coming home from school one day to the bodies of Ned and Cat on the floor of the kitchen and Robb's body by the back staircase. He dreams of hearing a small noise upstairs and finally finding the rest of them huddled in a closet on the second floor, Sansa with her arms around the others and fear in her eyes.
