Just a bit of a spotlight for some stories of varying fandoms that have stood out to me in the last few months.

Rating: Teen and Up

A series of short vignettes centering around Hugh Fitzcairn. I've found every chapter of this to be an absolute delight, and the author writes and incredible Fitzcairn. I laughed aloud at several parts of this collection of tales. Most of the dialogue especially is truly excellent.
Copper Prayer, byAedenSolus
Fandom: Warhammer 40k
Rating: Not Rated
Words: 70,695
I'm a bit biased on this one, Aeden and I have been good friends for over a decade. That being said, I am not in the Warhammer 40k fandom in any way. I know very little about the setting, and this story is incredibly engaging and compelling despite the fact that I went in pretty much canon-blind. The characters (all original) are magnificent, the story is a ton of fun, and it's really just a great tale all around.
Destination Everywhere, byLithiumDoll
Fandom: Calvin & Hobbes
Rating: General Audiences
Words: 490
A brief and absolutely wonderful story featuring a college-age Calvin. I thought this little tale was so perfectly in keeping with the feeling of the Calvin and Hobbes comics. I first read this a number of months ago, and I still think about the last line of it especially on the regular.
The Rubicon, byGallusRostromegalus
Fandom: Star Wars - All Media Types
Rating: Mature
Words: 9,615
A really incredible look at a force-sensitive child whose parents keep them from the Jedi, and what happens when they truly come into their abilities without any sort of support or training. This story is a really hard read at points, but it's so beautifully written, and has some really fascinating worldbuilding and character development.
Only Violets are Blue, bymisura
Fandom: A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking - T. Kingfisher
Rating: Teen and Up
Words: 154
A very brief story that made me laugh aloud the first time I read it, and continues to make me snicker whenever I give it a reread. Honestly, what retail worker doesn't fantasize about becoming a notorious assassin on occasion?
