Summary
Everyone assumed that Anakin Skywalker was dead.
But they were wrong.
Buried deep within the confines of his own dark and twisted soul whom he calls Vader, the light of Anakin Skywalker lives on.
This is the story of Anakin Skywalker coming back to the light, and of finding himself again. Of finding forgiveness, hope, and love.
This is the story of Icarus, rising.
** Initial canon-compliant exploration of the Kenobi show focusing on Obi-Wan and Anakin's feelings during the events; eventual canon-divergence for Part VI followed by an intense slow-burn romance between Obi-Wan and Anakin and a post-canon fix-it story of Vader/Anakin's redemption. **

Summary
They are two halves of a whole, two stars inexorably pulled together by gravity, forever rotating one another, forever caught up in each other's orbit. They are Anakin and Obi-Wan. They are Darth Vader and Ben Kenobi. It doesn't matter. Names mean nothing. Not for them. They should be enemies. They are a Jedi Master and a Sith Lord. And yet... nothing can truly keep them apart.
NOT VADERWAN!

Heart of Ashes Verse Anthology by InFamousHero
Fandoms: World of Warcraft, Warcraft - All Media Types
24 Sep 2022
Summary
Showing up to Sylvaina 2 years late with starbucks and a plague mask but I'M HERE NOW.
Please enjoy whatever indulgent nonsense I come up with for these two.
Anthology containing:
On Good Behaviour
[Pre-Heart of Ashes] - WotLK Era
With the defeat of Yogg-saron, and Azeroth spared from clinical eradication, a celebration is thrown in Dalaran to mark the victory and bolster morale for the coming trials in Icecrown.
While everyone else makes the most of it, a certain Archmage and Banshee Queen find themselves drawn together.
Taste Your Beating Heart
[Pre-Heart of Ashes] - WotLK Era
Sylvanas is badly injured in the process of killing a frost giant in Icecrown Glacier, and the lack of living creatures in their near vicinity leads to Jaina offering an alternative solution to mend the Banshee Queen’s wounds.
The Judgement of Helheim
[Pre-Heart of Ashes] - Legion
Odyn's arrogance and ego have long run unchecked. He casts himself as an undeserving victim of Helya's attacks and resentment, never admitting to the fact that Helheim and Helya herself are products of his disregard for others. But the truth has a way of getting out and in the end, his thoughtless cruelty will be the instrument of his own undoing...
Heart of Ashes
That damned smirk remained. “Are you volunteering?” Sylvanas asked in a low, conspiratorial voice that positively oozed with provocation.
Anduin, Genn and Nathanos were deathly silent, the kind of silence one fell into when they desperately hoped to go unnoticed.
Nostrils flaring, Jaina glared. “And what if I am, Warchief, afraid of one little mage looking over your shoulder?”
-
AKA Battle for Azeroth but what if there wasn't a faction war and it's about two traumatised women falling in love at the end of the world?
Take My Breath Away
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
And just like that, Jaina found herself confronted with the image of Sylvanas Windrunner, feared Banshee Queen, Dark Lady of the Forsaken, and Warchief of the Horde, looking for all the world like a startled deer.
Tides of Darkness
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
Two months after surviving the trials of Kul Tiras, Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner and her Witness, Archmage Jaina Proudmoore, stand in attendance at the Maelstrom as the Earthen Ring clears the skies of Azeroth, bringing back the sun after Sargeras's attack on their world nearly smothered it in ashes, secure in the knowledge that the fledgling peace between the Horde and the Alliance grows stronger every day.
But the machinations of a vengeful queen and an Old God are not to be underestimated, and as wounds wrought by decades of conflict are inflamed, threats to the peace will come from within as readily as they do from without...
Burning Shadows
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
Living with the lingering effects of the weapon that destroyed her home was something Jaina had long since resigned herself to.
Lady of Silver
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
Jaina likes to remind Sylvanas just how loved she really is.
Firecracker
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
As part of the Lunar Festival celebrations, a ball is thrown in Lordaeron, and Sylvanas has plans for her wife.
The Pains of Yesterday
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
Determined to scrape together something resembling closure, Sylvanas returns to Windrunner Spire to dig through the memories and recover everything that remains.
The pain is more than enough to drown in, but that’s why she isn’t doing it alone…
Boiling Over
[Post-Heart of Ashes]
A busy day is the perfect excuse for Jaina to rile up her wife until Sylvanas just can’t stand it anymore.
Companions
Katherine sends Jaina and Sylvanas a cat.
Glass Heart
For Sylvanas, control was everything after having it so brutally ripped away, her very will and sense of being violated down to the fabric of her soul, forced to do things that would remain with her for the rest of her days. To wilfully give in, to surrender knowing that the person she submitted to was not going to hurt her and would respect the slightest sign of discontent—it allowed her to shrug off the heavy chains she held herself together with.

Anthology containing:
Make It Through the Night
“Ben,” his dad's voice rang out.

This time was different. Ben was by her side and she had so much more to lose.
(Or: back in time, Rey and Ben try to fix the events of TLJ and TROS. Sequel to Make It Through the Night.)Shelves: Star Wars Fics

in too deep to find a safe way out by queerofthedagger
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
03 Jun 2022
Summary
“That was rude,” the boy says, but he doesn’t look particularly annoyed. In fact, he looks amused, of all things.
“Who in Salazar’s name are you?”
“I’m Harry Potter,” he says, and now he is definitely grinning. It disappears as quickly as it appeared, and he takes Regulus in once more. There is something far too knowing in his gaze. “And you are Regulus Black, here to steal Tom Riddle’s Horcrux.”
Regulus never wanted to be saved, but Harry Potter is nothing if not stubborn. As it turns out, they might have both needed each other, really, and if they save a few more people in the process, well... that's a rather lucky side-effect, isn't it?
