Summary
All thoughts leave Callist as she stares at the creature in one corner. There are probably worse ways to die than to be eaten by a deathworlder, but at the moment Callist is beginning to wonder if death by torture might actually be the kinder option. Or perhaps it will amount to the same thing.

Summary
The Crossing of the Bridge is a ceremony that requires each new emperor or empress, on the first solstice of their reign, to walk the entire length of the bridge over the Istandaärtha from eastern to western shore, alone save for their nonecharei, carrying nothing but a brazier of incense. We can be relatively sure that this tradition traces its roots to the very creation of the Wisdom Bridge, and that the first emperor to enact it was Edrehasivar the Seventh.

Bookmarker's Notes
I love this!!! The beginning -- "why DO we do thisthing?" The old woman who grew up with the bridge!! The careful walk, so he didn't trip!!! The whole conversation -- of COURSE he'd do that, to obliterate curse rumors so thoroughly that future historians found no record of it! Csevet's comments in his notes of the discussion!!! Just lovely!!! Aaaaah!!! Go read it!!!

Summary
The Gn’ael’ya convoy had chased the Khanre Steadfast for 47 galactic cycles when they finally responded to the desperate hails their quarry had been sending on a four-hour repeat. A wall of silence since their initial “prepare to be destroyed”, but they were ready to negotiate, the message said. A party was welcome to come to the flagship and discuss “terms that would be pleasant to both parties”.
It didn’t take long for the relieved discussions of how their pursuers were finally ready to talk circulated the Steadfast’s halls, and that relief was as-swiftly followed by hushed explanations of how exactly the Gn’ael’ya negotiated. And then there was an expectant, waiting silence, crew members glancing at each other and wondering.
Or: in which an ability to eat hot peppers and toss back shots comes in really handy.

Summary
"Don't tell me," Poe says. "You can't swim."
"I can so," Rey says indignantly, and Poe just laughs, soft and amused. His eyes go teasing, and Rey looks away, glances at the way the water breaks in rills against the sand.
"Can so what?" Finn asks, coming up on her other side. Poe looks at him over Rey's head, and she doesn't have to use the Force to feel whatever it is that's building between the two of them.
"Swim," she tells him, and Finn's eyes go wide.
"Can we?" he says. "I've never- I mean, is it- do people like it?"
"I like it," Poe laughs, "especially on a hot day like this. It's a good way to cool off. I can teach you, if you want. Rey already knows." The way he looks at Rey, the way he tilts his head, is just a little challenging, daring her to admit she's lied. It makes her bold, makes her reckless.

Summary
After a few agonizingly slow seconds of exhausted, confused pondering, Zuko decided there was only one logical conclusion.
“You’re right," he told the assassins, "I’m here to help you kill the Fire Lord.”
Like a genius.Caldera City is holding a festival to celebrate finally having enough funds to hold a festival! Although Zuko originally deemed himself too busy to go, Sokka managed to cajol him into attending his own party, in a knock-off Blue Spirit disguise for security purposes. Zuko sneaks back into the palace right in time to catch a group of assassins sneaking out. They failed to find the Fire Lord and assume he's reinforcements.
Zuko needs to find who ordered a strike on him before they do something stupid, like order a second one. Obviously, the most reasonable thing to do is join the assassins and hope they don’t figure out who he actually is. Obviously. There’s literally no other option.
Feat. Zuko's only two coping mechanisms (mortal peril and improv theater), the world's most incompetent hit team, and another knock-off Blue Spirit who's determined to prove this "Li" isn't who he says he is.

Summary
“He’s a—he’s a what?” Zuko wasn’t sure he’d heard her properly.
“Our father, Lord and Leader of Agni’s people, has undergone a ritual that turned him into a chicken,” Azula stated again, sounding annoyed she’d had to repeat herself, which Zuko didn’t think was really fair. “To increase his strength.”
“A chicken.”
“Yes, for strength reasons," Azula said, examining her sharp fingernails. "It’s a form of advanced spiritual meditation.”
"A chicken."
Deep in the depths of the Fire Nation's palace, Ozai and the Fire Sages (side note: that would be a sick band name) have unearthed a mysterious artifact, which fell from the sky many centuries ago. The accompanying scroll promises to grant those who complete a certain ritual total domination of the natural world. Fire Lord Ozai, the man that he is, completes the ritual with no hesitation.
The ritual then swaps him with a chicken.
(The Ozai is a chicken and nothing changes AU, that nobody asked for but everyone deserves)

Summary
At this very moment, Hermione Granger is a tiny muggleborn child who's tried half a dozen spells. No one is scared of her. No one knows to expect her.
"We're really doing this," Pansy eventually says, breaking the silence. "We must be insane."
"We're saving the country." Hermione tears her gaze from the sunrise across the treetops of the Forbidden Forest to find that Pansy is already looking her way, something resolute in her gaze. It's too solemn of an expression for a child, but Hermione's probably isn't better.

time travel fics set in the era of the Golden Trio, so the run of the regular books. most will follow the same story line, but i might throw in some other fics like my "seer" harry idea, as long as there is time travel and it takes place in this era.

Summary
Kibeth had expected to wake to guard an infant Queen, one born of the Clayr and recognized by them for what she was. Lirael was not that in any way. The Clayr should still have recognized what she was, but they had not.
Lirael had not summoned Kibeth even a day too soon. The girl had probably been a darling toddler who could have been persuaded into all kinds of mischief, but, by the time Kibeth woke, Lirael had deep scars from throwing herself repeatedly at a closed door through which she could never pass.
As if Lirael stood at a crossroad with dozens of possible ways forward but could only see that one option.
