Summary
Three months after the Battle of Endor, Luke Skywalker goes in search of a rumoured Jedi temple in a secluded part of the Mid Rim. He finds within the temple nothing but a strange artifact, which unexpectedly brings him much closer to the Jedi of old than he ever thought he would be.
When Luke fails to return from his mission, Leia goes after him, retracing his steps to the ancient temple — and to the past, to the time of the Clone Wars and the waning years of the Old Republic. Under suspicion by the Jedi Order, the twins struggle to find a way back to their own time while trying to keep their knowledge of the future from affecting the past.
This, however, turns out to not be as simple as it seems.

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

Summary
Picture your typical rom-com cliché.
Now picture Dean stuck in that rom-com cliché—with Castiel.
Because that's what happening to him; a crazy whirlwind of your typical-and-not-so-typical cliché's. He's playing the main lead in all of them and Castiel's his counterpart. Of course, the culprit's obvious—Gabriel's enjoying himself, lying back on his favorite cloud with a bucket of popcorn.
It's about time someone kicked the two knuckleheads up the ass.
"And... action!"

Summary
Religion! Horror! Exorcisms! Piercings! And Gerard is a priest.
Disclaimer: I stole frequently and unrepentantly from Joss Whedon and the makers of various horror movies throughout this whole series. Also I am not an expert on the Vatican or medical-type things, so please accept my apologies in advance for all the wild inaccuracies I am sure you are about to encounter. If everyone could just assume this is the Magical Made-Up Vatican, you know, like the religious institution version of those tour buses that drive themselves and don't carry anyone but the band, that would be awesome.

Summary
1966. The year Mickey woke up, miraculously recovered from a bullet wound to the back of the head, with no memory of who he was, no one to claim him, and extraordinary abilities: super strength, indestructible, inability to age. After accidentally outing his abilities to the world, Mickey becomes a reluctant - and lonely - vigilante superhero, until a chance encounter in 2016 changes everything.

Summary
It's summer in Chicago, and Carl Gallagher is finally released from prison. His brothers pick him up in the fancy car that Lip has stolen – no, borrowed – from his professor, and life would be good, if not for the fact that Ian and Lip are both distracted and weighed down by their regrets about past mistakes, about unfinished business, about friends and lovers lost. Because Carl is a horrible (or maybe great?) influence, they soon find themselves on the road, on an odyssey to find Mickey and Mandy Milkovich, the siblings who seem to have left the Southside of Chicago – and the men of the Gallagher family – behind for good. On their trip, the Gallagher brothers travel down memory lane, and realize that maybe Mickey and Mandy are not the only people they need to reconnect with to regain what they lost.

Summary
There was a house that nobody went into.
It wasn’t haunted. It wasn’t condemned. It wasn’t barred shut.
There were rumors about the house. Whispers about its life before it was a lockbox, about drug debts and jail sentences and families with more magic than they needed, or less, depending on who you asked. There were whispers that the house was cursed, and that the curse would rub off on anyone who got too close.
*
It has been a long time since anyone has seen Mickey Milkovich, and the neighborhood has all but forgotten him. Mickey’s name may have left the common consciousness, but there is one thing that everybody seems to know: there’s a house on Trumbull Ave. that nobody can go into, and something bad will happen to you if you try.
When strange things begin happening a few blocks away at the Gallagher house, it’s clear that the events have a magical origin. Ian suspects a curse, and looks for answers at the only other cursed location he knows of.
He finds answers. He finds something else, too.

Summary
It was as dark as it could get in the city, with its perpetual haze of yellow-gray light ringing the horizon. Mickey’s eyes were half open, unfocused, directed vaguely toward the one tiny pinprick of light that had managed to glow through the screen of rainclouds and smog. If he hadn’t been so out of it, Mickey might have thought it was a little weird that there was a star visible in the first place—almost seeming to hang in front of the clouds rather than behind them—but he didn’t. He peered through his lashes, eyes glazed over, as the only obvious light in the sky did nothing of interest.
Until it did.
*
When late summer comes to Chicago, it finds Mickey Milkovich listless, directionless, and truly alone for the first time in his life. Mickey is content to leave his empty hours empty, but the universe has other plans: A mysterious force attaches itself to Mickey and urges him to leave his life behind, to go, come on, come on--
--and so he does.

Summary
Something's gone wrong with the world, and the stars are going out. Mickey doesn't know why, and frankly he doesn't give a shit; his life has never felt more empty, more worthless. He can't shake the feeling that there's something missing - a life he was supposed to have led, someone he was meant to have met, voices in his head saying things that never happened... And then Lip freaking Gallagher is in front of him, telling him that it's his fault the stars are disappearing. He was supposed to be with Lip's little brother, but he did it wrong - and now he has to go back in time and change the past to the way it was meant to be.

Summary
“Who are you?” Ian demands, legs braced apart like he’s ready to take off running down the street. “How do you know my name?”
“Don’t go,” Mickey chokes out. “Please, just . . . just give me a second, OK?”
(AU set during 4x7. Mickey will do whatever it takes to get Ian back, no matter where it takes them.)

Summary
It was while he was unscrewing the strawberry jam that he heard the sound. A soft, rapping sound coming from his front door, like knuckles on wood, or maybe an infected trying to claw their way in. He spent a few moments listening, and, no, it was definitely knocking. He was surprised they hadn’t attempted twisting the handle, but rather continued knocking on his door as though he were naïve enough to let them inside.
'Little pig, little pig, let me in.'
A different take on the Alice Tetch virus.

Summary
Set around S4E11 into S4E18 (Or around that, at least, this very loosely follows cannon)
Oswald becomes Jerome's... whatever while sat in Arkham, waiting to plan his escape so he can safely get at Sofia Falcone and rescue his boy, Martin. He comes to terms with the arrangement quicker than expected. It's not awful, and Jerome's influence in the asylum helps make his stay more tolerable than it was the first time. It's not a huge price to pay.
He's working hard to move past Edward and their back and forth betrayals and he's pretty proud of himself for it.
But his eyes catch the shine of those idiotic glasses that frame his nose so well, and Oswald almost falls right out of Jerome's lap when he realizes that Edward has been arrested too. He's there. Imprisoned with Oswald... again. Because the last time they'd been locked up together had gone so well.
