Summary
Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi has just lost his mentor and agreed to his dying wish—train Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One who will bring balance to the Force. The Force has other ideas. As a result, the Council refuses to sanction Skywalker's training. Obi-Wan defects from the Order and returns the boy to his mother on Tatooine, intending to train him there. And then he starts to feel strangely ill—symptoms Shmi Skywalker, who once carried a powerful Force user herself, recognizes intimately.
What follows is a lifetime filled with the struggles of found family, a galactic road trip, and quiet heroism in the name of the abandoned and silenced. A story about a quieter kind of balance, and what it costs to get there.

Summary
It’s so clear, you see, that if we’re to begin living in the present, we must first redeem our past and then be done with it forever. And the only way we can redeem our past is by suffering and by giving ourselves over to extraordinary labor, to steadfast and endless labor.
Anton Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard
Set long after the Battle of Hogwarts.
Draco Malfoy is abruptly and unwillingly called home after spending the last twenty years living and studying abroad. It seems that there are things at Malfoy Manor which need to be put to rest, and the Ministry of Magic has determined that as the sole remaining Malfoy by blood, Draco is the only one who can do it.
But curse breaking is not Draco’s area of expertise, and so the Ministry has found someone willing to help.

Fandoms: The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
10 Dec 2023
Summary
Stories that exist within the Build Up a New Us continuity. The series Maeglin in Gondolin also belongs (more loosely) to this continuity.
Anthology containing:
Your Name On My Bones
Set in Utumno days. Mairon pushes the boundaries, and Melkor thinks about what he really wants.
Flying Like A Bird To You Now
"He’d betrayed his lover in more ways than he could count; no joyful reunion with the Lord of Trees could be expected. He owed apologies and more to an awful lot of people, but first and foremost to Oromë. That’s where he’d start, and when his beloved had crushed those futile hopes, perhaps he’d be able to move on."
Celegorm is re-embodied in Valinor.
Child of Shadows
Maeglin finds no peace in the Halls of Mandos, so Námo sends him to seek it in the living world. He's broken and haunted by the past, and he never wants to see his father again. Celegorm knows what it is to live with the shadows of the dark things he's done. Aredhel was always dear to him. He hopes taking her son under his wing will be good for them both.
a new skin
A little prequel/parallel scene to Build Up A New Us, from Melkor's point of view.
Nienna comes to Melkor in the Void.
Build Up A New Us
After Mairon's defeat in the War of the Ring, he must face his past and decide what kind of future he will build.
Through the mercy of the Valar, Melkor is restored to him, but finding acceptance and a place for themselves in Aman won't be easy.
Sunlight
It's springtime in Valinor, and Maeglin and Celebrimbor's affection for each other is deepening. Maeglin is ready to explore sex again, if he can only get out of his own way long enough for it to happen.

Summary
Harry is a child. Why is it his job to save the school? Why is it his job to do anything other than attend classes and do homework?
It’s not his job, but it seems Dumbledore is trying to make it Harry’s job.
And well, after living with the Dursleys so long only to end up under the thumb of a brand new manipulator, can Harry really be blamed for running away?
If no one else sees value in Harry, then it’s Harry’s job to find value in himself. That is a job he can live with.
*
An eleven-year-old boy goes on a journey of self-discovery and self-love.
Let’s see what happens.(And he also maybe saves the world?)

A/N: I got some questions in comments so to clarify: the disability tag WILL NOT apply to Harry at any point in the fic.

Greater Than Your Hoarded Gold 'verse Anthology by Quietbang
Fandoms: Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types, Star Wars - All Media Types
09 Jan 2023
Summary
Anthology containing:
Greater Than Their Hoarded Gold
Anakin doesn't burn on Mustafar.
15 years later, the Tatooine Free State is formed.
In truth, these two events are only incidentally related.
This is a story about rebuilding a society after genocide and fomenting armed anti-fascist resistance against an insurmountable foe. It is also a story about spies, politics, the power of solidarity, and anarchosyndicalist clones.
this year we are slaves; next year we shall be free
In the middle of fighting a galactic war, our heroes pause to remember another.
There are some things which have always been true about Obi-Wan. He is stubborn and charming and smart, he can talk circles around everyone, and for as long as he cares to remember he has tracked exit routes in every room he enters, has days or weeks where everything feels sharp and wrong and abrasive and in response he buttons himself up as hard as he can and works. He greets the Force like a bride, every tenday, and hums the old songs and stories to himself.
There are some things which have become true about Obi-Wan. He talks less, these days, and often only with his family. He sleeps in a flak jacket, sometimes, just in case, even when he’s planetside. Ever since – the most recent event – he gets lost in his thoughts more often than he used to, and can’t always find his way back, the benchmarks in the Force muddled and painful. He loves the Jedi younglings they have managed to save with all of his heart, and also, he cannot be in the same room as them for too long or he begins to sweat.Shelves: Star Wars Fics

Summary
It’s not Draco’s fault that Potter is seeing things and Scorpius’s campaign to be the Ministry’s Creature Liaison is struggling, it’s not.
Draco didn’t ask for Potter to walk into his Ocularistry Clinic in Northern Ireland fifteen years after they last saw each other, demanding to know why the Spectroculars Draco invented malfunctioned while Potter was painting and cost him an eye.
Scorpius hadn’t asked for any of that either, though, so when Potter and the rest of Draco’s patients start to see mysterious symbols through their prosthetic eyes, and the resulting blow to Draco’s public reputation drags Scorpius’s campaign through the mud, Draco is determined to fix it.
If that means trudging through a boggy moor in search of a fictional species Luna thinks is causing their problems, Draco will just have to pluck up the courage, march in with a team of Gryffindors, and be ready to battle any beast they meet.
Even if that beast looks less like the large, bipedal talking toads they find and more like the Ministry of Magic as a whole.
