1k+If I Could Start Again »
Stormbreaker strikes Thanos a couple inches to the left of where it does in canon, with much more satisfying results. However, revenge alone won't fill the voids left behind by all that Thor has lost. Time travel canon-divergent AU. Heavy focus on the Brodinsons. No slash.Avengers, T, English, Family & Adventure, chapters: 88, words: 295k+, favs: 2k+, follows: 2k+, updated: 5/28/2024 published: 6/7/2018, Thor, Loki
1k+Off by a Single Degree: Part I »

23Five Ways Katherine Is Thwarted Early (And One Way She Isn't) »
5 unrelated mini-AUs set across 5x11-5x13 where Katherine doesn't get away with her plan to possess Elena, followed by a slightly more canon-compliant AU where she does, except that it unfolds in a way I would've enjoyed watching a lot more. Main players are Elena and Damon but most of the main cast gets involved here or there. Delena, faint hints of future Steroline.Vampire Diaries, T, English, Horror & Supernatural, chapters: 5, words: 14k+, favs: 27, follows: 17, updated: 3/7/2023 published: 3/3/2023, [Elena G., Damon S.] Katherine

No Thoughts, Head Empty
5x04 fix-it because sometimes things that are canon...are worse. This is the fic for anyone who found Damon and Elena's (and, more importantly, the show's writers') initial approach to no-memories Stefan extremely aggravating and nonsensical. Also Elena's not sugar-coating the reasons she and Stefan broke up. Delena. Pro-Stefan, but anti-the whitewashing of Stefan.Vampire Diaries, K, English, Drama & Supernatural, words: 4k+, favs: 21, follows: 10, 2/25/2023, [Damon S., Elena G.] Stefan S.
5 Love Is a Dagger

50My Brother's Keeper »
Avengers 2012 canon divergent AU. After Thor grabs Loki off the Quinjet, it takes Tony a couple minutes longer to reach them. What was it that Thor wanted Loki to listen to? Can it make a difference? Bro feels, no slash.Avengers, K+, English, Family & Adventure, chapters: 6, words: 9k+, favs: 194, follows: 215, updated: 4/12/2019 published: 7/1/2018, Thor, Loki
103Interventionism »
Johann Schmidt's experiments with the Tesseract have not gone unnoticed by the Gatekeeper of Asgard, but there didn't seem to be a need to act until Schmidt himself landed on the Rainbow Bridge. (Listing this as a Thor fic instead of a Thor/Cap crossover because it will primarily focus on Thor and Loki being bros.) Thor&Loki and possibly Thor/Sif. Not slash. Enjoy and review!Thor, T, English, Adventure & Family, chapters: 20, words: 55k+, favs: 185, follows: 181, updated: 11/19/2018 published: 3/31/2018, Thor, Loki, Heimdall, Sif
16 Child of Winter, Child of Summer »
The night after Odin shows him and Thor the artifacts in the Vault, Loki is visited by a familiar nightmare. He has a plan for how to overcome it, but he gets much more than he bargained for. Goes AU right after the flashback scene in the first movie. Low angst. Lots of cuteness. No slash.Thor, K, English, Family & Friendship, chapters: 4, words: 16k+, favs: 103, follows: 44, updated: 11/1/2018 published: 9/18/2018, Thor, Odin, Loki, Frigga
18 The God of Mischief »
Infinity War spoilers! Loki has been waiting for Thanos to catch up with him for years. Does anyone really believe the best plan he managed to come up with was a frontal attack with a dagger? (I wanted to write something to flesh out both the mid-credits scene of Ragnarok and the beginning of Infinity War. Asgard isn't going down without a fight.) Loki/ValkyrieThor, T, English, Adventure & Romance, chapters: 4, words: 10k+, favs: 150, follows: 83, updated: 5/23/2018 published: 5/19/2018, [Loki, Valkyrie/Brunnhilde] Thor, Sif
8 The Rightful Heir
So why didn't Hela just use Gungnir (Odin's spear/scepter) to open the Bifrost like Odin and Loki did in the first movie? Maybe because she couldn't. Canon-compliant Ragnarok one-shot.Thor, K, English, Family & Drama, words: 1k+, favs: 65, follows: 16, 4/29/2018, Thor, Hela
251Finding Joy in Your Long-Distance Relationship »
Sequel to "Worlds Apart". For now, this doesn't really have its own plot; I'm just riding on canon S4/Angel S1 and mainly writing Buffy and Angel's interactions and however they impact the episodes. Enjoy and review!Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, T, English, Romance & Friendship, chapters: 16, words: 42k+, favs: 169, follows: 193, updated: 3/15/2018 published: 1/24/2011, Buffy S., Angel

33 Unconquerable Souls »
Wishverse, sequel to "Windows to the Soul." With the help of the White Hats, Buffy and Angel have, for the most part, taken Sunnydale back from the monsters. Now, one thing after another keeps coming along to make sure they can't enjoy the fruits of their labors, from a lengthy Council inspection, to the fine print of Angel's curse, to the return of Darla.Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, T, English, Romance & Supernatural, chapters: 12, words: 22k+, favs: 51, follows: 23, updated: 12/13/2017 published: 12/2/2017, [Angel, Buffy S.]
36Stronger Together »
Buffy/Angel. AU from before the final scene of "Disharmony" and about the middle of "Intervention." After the events of "Epiphany," Darla is on her way out of Angel's life for good when she finds out about his visit to Sunnydale in "Forever." She's not going to stand for it. Will potentially become a fairly long canon-diverging thing.Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, T, English, Humor & Drama, chapters: 10, words: 12k+, favs: 50, follows: 48, updated: 12/10/2017 published: 12/2/2017, [Angel, Buffy S.] Darla, Spike

288Off By a Single Degree: Part II »
Continuation of "Off by a Single Degree." AU. Plotty ensemble fic with slow burn Damon/Elena and minimal love triangles. We continue the saga of Mystic Falls if Damon hadn't compelled Elena to forget meeting him and Grayson and Miranda had lived.

52 Dancing with Death »
Buffy/Angel AU, written for IWRY 2016. It's NYC in 1927. Angelus is a private-eye who's trying to make up for his grisly past. It's not the most reliable profession for keeping the bills paid and the icebox stocked with blood, and he's beginning to lose track of how many times he's been dumped in the Hudson with cinder blocks strapped to his feet, but someone has to do it.Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, T, English, Crime & Mystery, chapters: 10, words: 32k+, favs: 55, follows: 26, updated: 12/9/2016 published: 12/1/2016, Angel, Buffy S.
10Coffin for Two
AU from the episode "Angel." What if the Darla in Buffy S1 had been more like the Darla in Angel S2? I think she can do better than framing Angel for attacking Buffy's mom, don't you? Buffy/Angel. IWRY Marathon 2015 submission. Enjoy and review!Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, T, English, Romance & Horror, words: 8k+, favs: 36, follows: 10, 11/23/2015, Angel, Buffy S.
