Remember all those post-Avengers fics where Tony worked himself into the ground desperately seeking the approval of the Avengers and constantly worrying about being 'kicked off' the team? This... is not one of those.

AKA, "Five Times Tony Stark Lacked Commitment to Sparkle Motion".

Self-Insert. Gregor Clegane was one of the worst people to have ever existed. But what if someone else lived his life? What if a modern person of sound mind and honorable character was reborn as The Mountain? How would his rational and reasonable mind impact the ultimate outcome of Westeros? He just might be able to change the world for the better

The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

How in the world did I not have this bookmarked yet??

The Red Wedding has happened and the Old Gods are getting worried about what has happened. They have no choice. Robb must return.

Shmi leaves Tatooine with Anakin and goes to the Jedi Temple. To become Yoda's Padawan almost instantly.

Hermione life suddenly changes, courtesy of an experiment conducted by herself from an alternate, future universe. You'd think messages from the future would have more then vague hints and a headache. Or was that from fighting the troll.

The Dursleys have done one good thing for Harry Potter’s continued safety: their neglect has made him suspicious, sneaky, and cruel. A brief explanation of how things might have gone differently.

Bilbo didn’t mean to do this. Well, of course he didn’t. This isn’t his fault.
One moment he was sitting in front of the fire where they were camped in the forest at the edge of The Lonely Mountain, clicking his tongue at Fili and Kili chucking bits of bread at Balin, the next they were under attack.
It all happened so fast, Azog and his Orcs embarking on a brutal slaughter before they had the chance to raise a sword in defence, and Bilbo somehow managed to claw his way through the forest and to the foot of the Lonely Mountain where he comes face-to-face with… Thorin… who Bilbo was certain just had his head chopped off a moment ago.
To make matters worse, he doesn’t seem to recognise him. And Erebor is… well, not a charred and blackened empty tomb inhabited by a dragon.
And yeah, Bilbo’s fairly certain this isn’t going to end well.

They've saved the world, but now comes the hard part; surviving each other. Steve has apologies to make, Bruce has some soul searching to do, and Tony admits, at least to himself, that he is lonely. But they'd better get their act together soon, because a new enemy is declaring war on mankind... an enemy that Tony Stark is dangerously vulnerable to...

Thorin and Bilbo's child hates Thorin for hurting Bilbo. Somehow, this changes everything and nothing at all.

"Meriadoc Baggins, son of Bilbo Baggins and Thorin Oakenshield, at your service," he finished mockingly, complete with an exaggerated bow. The hall went silent at the announcement.

Another way it might have gone, if Charles had found the right words, and Erik had listened.

The Gold Sickness mounts a heavy toll on the line of Durin. Thorin loses his mind and perhaps his soul to the very thing that fell his grandfather. Fili will not permit his family to go into darkness. With Kili's help, he makes a simple decision that will change the entire fate of Middle Earth. The two brothers face terrors unimagined, separated and desperate. Will fate ever show them mercy? Will they be able to keep Erebor safe from the dark powers that swirl around their souls? Will Thorin return to sanity, or will Kili have to upsurp his King?

The adventure doesn't end after the Battle of Five Armies. Bilbo lingers in Erebor while Thorin recovers from his wounds, and soon finds himself caught up in politics, romance, and the occasional kidnapping.

The one where Bilbo speaks for comatose Thorin.

In which Bilbo Baggins does not just find the Ring of Power, he learns to use it. Dark Lord Bilbo AU, featuring badass hobbits, disturbed wizards and irritated Nazgul. And a curious dragon.

(Now THIS is completely different! And awesome!)

Certain events in Bilbo’s life were always destined to come to pass, but the will of Belladonna Took is not to be trifled with, and her choice may yet change the lives of many.

This is the story of how Bilbo became the kin of the Eagles of Manwë, and all that happened after.

Hobbits always survive; even where trained and experienced soldiers don't. Has no one ever wondered about this? Thorin and the Company learn that it takes more than luck to be small in a big world. Bilbo has unexpected (Hobbit martial arts :D!!!) skills and Thorin finds he likes them.

Stiles doesn't really care if other people think he can fight. He knows what he can do. And he knows exactly how to save his pack when they're captured by the Alphas.

He was a genius. He could paint, play music, talk to snakes, control fire. He was more powerful and intelligent then any knew. He had strong 'friends'. The problem was, he had few emotions.

The Dursleys didn't raise Harry Potter to be a very good boy. He calls himself Moriarty nowadays.

Smarter Voldemort launches his conquest of Britain immediately after his resurrection. Smarter Harry, Sirius, and co. are the only ones who can stop him. Unconventional tactics.

Sherlock does not like the interest John takes in Jim from IT.

There's someone following him. He's excellent at it, but doesn't quite keep himself out of John's peripheral vision, always drawing himself back like he's chomping at the bit. Impatient, then. A quick glimpse of the man in a shop window shows a wrinkling in his jacket on the side of his torso – some sort of weapon hanging beneath his arm, either a pistol or a knife. Probably not one of Mycroft's friendlies - they tended to better dress sense and squeakier shoes. John sips his coffee a little slower and lets his feet wander aimlessly towards a nearby alley, loosening the lid on his cup as he does so. He sighs a little – Sherlock had appropriated the teapot and the kettle for yet another experiment that morning, this had been the only non-instant cup of caffeine he'd had the whole day and now he wasn't even going to get to finish it. There! The edge of a sleeve in the corner of his eye - John pivots, ducks down and whips his steaming hot coffee directly into the man's face.

Baskerville AU, things get a bit more aggressive after John storms out on a terrified Sherlock.

Twenty things John does to rebuild his life after Sherlock's fall.

Young Harry liked numbers, he liked using numbers and working out the value of things. When he found out that he was a wizard and had a big pile of gold... well, he had something new to calculate.

The CIA's Marcus MacTaggert attempts to recruit Doctor Charlotte Xavier and her sibling Raven to assist in the capture of suspected Communist Sabrina Shaw and her unusual associates. Thrilled at the thought finding of more mutants, Charlotte and Raven agree, but are soon put off by the CIA's misogynist attitude and decide to track down these other mutants by themselves. They do find more mutants, but not the ones they were expecting. Charlotte starts to build a community of mutants but Raven finds that many of them can't even accept themselves, let alone someone who doesn't belong within familiar definitions of gender. Erika's determination to kill Shaw, Shaw's quest to recruit more mutants, and world-threatening political brinkmanship collide with deadly consequences: Charlotte, Raven and Erika must decide what kind of world it is that they want to create.

Two years have passed since the secret of the planet Miranda got broadcast across the whole 'verse in 2518. The crew of Serenity finally hires a new pilot, but he's a bit peculiar.

...But so much more. This is THE Firefly/HP crossover story. All others can not compare. Wow. All the stars, all the hearts. Book of Jayne, anyone. 292,520 words of awesomeness. READ THIS!

Jim Kirk in Middle Earth: There, and back again.

Being seventeen sucks. So does moving to a Hellmouth, discovering the girl of your dreams is a Slayer and that you just might be in love with a vampire. Or, How Leonard McCoy Got a Stake, Got a Life, and Got Laid.

Captain and Captain. Jim and River dance. Jim Kirk and Simon Tam. They have words. Jim Kirk versus the Operative. Kirk and McCoy reunite.

Winona is called to fix the cock-up of the Yorktown's engines. She uses one of the science-bitches to help her do it. & This is not exactly what Jim thought the 'exploring strange new worlds and exotic civilizations' was about. Also, Vulcans are kind of crazy. Jim and Spock go through a alien ritual, which, yes, changes everything -- he's hoping for the better. Spock just wants to get through this with his sanity, if not his dignity, mostly intact.

Destiny requires the existence of universal constants. Is the multiverse governed by random chance, or is it held together by the threads of universal constants - and if the latter, are Kirk and Spock two of them? With their universe threatened by the Q Continuum, AOS Kirk and Spock must discover how similar and yet how very different they are from their TOS counterparts, with highly unexpected results - including the reunion of two iconic figures having been parted for over ninety-five years.

When Leonard McCoy is kidnapped and held for ransom, Jim Kirk and the Enterprise crew have no idea that the kidnapping is connected to McCoy's past as a young doctor on Tarsus IV.

Starts with the shuttle trip from Riverside Shipyard to Starfleet Academy and picks up from Kirk and McCoy's conversation in the Reboot film. Suddenly, it's an epic, sprawling monster that fills in the gaps of the Academy years, the Narada, and the early years of the five-year mission. Humorous, dramatic, angsty, sexy, ridiculous -- it's got it all?

“And just what is the plan, Sherlock?” John shouted. “Go to prison? You assaulted a police officer – no court won’t convict you.” He ran a hand over his face. “What could possibly be worth risking your freedom?”

Actions always have consequences. Commander Spock learns this the hard way.

John Grimm, now the Chief Medical Officer of the Enterprise and a fairly likeable man named Leonard McCoy, is beginning to feel like a human again. Then the Enterprise encounters the SS Botany Bay, and events quickly spiral into chaos. The Reaper meets an opponent not unlike himself; except Khan believes the strong has an obligation to rule the weak, and the only way to stop Khan from commandeering the Enterprise is for John to balance on the edge between human and Other, without losing sight of what it means to be both.

Her first year at Hogwarts, Hermione had asked Ron, "What happens to the wizard kids who don't go to Hogwarts?"

How the movie could have gone much differently with Logan around, being a general badass.

Lex sues for custody of Superboy. ... “I won’t fight for you Luthor.” At that Lex couldn’t suppress a chuckle. “Please, I’m not Lionel. I don’t want you to be the best Luthor possible. I want you to be the best version of you. Let me worry about conquering the world, you work on being successful at what you love. If it gives Superman and my father a heart attack in the process, then great.” Please let him grow up to be a communist vegan musician, Lex quietly prayed. Please.

Sif hunts, feasts, fights on Loki's behalf, wears armour most of the time, throws Loki down and rides him after a long day sparring. She brings him treasures from her quests. Loki reads, likes looking pretty, gets fought over, likes Sif being rough with him in bed, has learnt healing spells to play nursemaid to Sif when she gets all bruised. People in Asgard give them a hard time over their 'bizarre' relationship.

Her crew doesn't know that Serenity's new passenger, a carpenter with an 'unusual upbringing', is a relic from the past. And Xander's not looking for trouble. Then again, neither are they. Not usually, leastwise. It just tends to come calling anyway.

Really, the title does say it all, except to tell you how fun it is. :D

During a routine investigation, Elliot Stabler learns he has another daughter. How exactly will he handle the shockingly brass brunette who seems to have no regards for her own safety and a penchant for leather clothing?

Sam kicking ass. In college. :D

*scroll down* Multi-fandom vid. JackO'Neill/DeanWinchester/JohnCrichton/MalReynolds man-angst. Main character drama. Kick-ass vid to a kick-ass mashup of Greenday and Oasis!

Smallville, Clex. Trailer for a BigBang story. The music is Juno Reactor's Mona Lisa Overdrive, which I love, and it is so ...immense. This vid tells a story. And what a story.

A multi-fandom action vid about "super" females. Kick-ass!

This vid, succeeding in vidding all of Firefly and Serenity down to a T, is sharply and wittily edited, relentlessly pacy, and very beautiful.

Dead Zone vid. A day in the life of Johnny Smith. ...This is THE VID that one's got to play for newcomers so that they'll be convinced of fanvid's brilliance. This one. No other. *!*

They are closer than friends. Closer than brothers... Neither can imagine life without the other. War has forged their two lives into one... They're a team. They're the team. And both of them are sure they always will be.

Obi-Wan, depressed by his master's death on Naboo, finds it hard to find peace as a new Knight, Master to Anakin. Then one day he get around to construct himself a new lightsaber... And the epic story begins. A peculiar quirk of this saber is that, when switched on, it transports Obi-Wan to a different dimension, an 'if'. Obi-Wan uses this chance of fate to find himself a Qui-Gon Jinn that fits him, meanwhile he encounters dozens of realities that challenge him.

5 year old Harry Potter overhears his Aunt complaining to his Uncle about the "freaks" camping nearby. Maybe if they are the same type of "freak" he is they will want him?

Harry Potter has been missing since he was eight. Now, seven years later, Severus Snape has a one night stand that just doesn’t seem to end. How long will they be able to keep their secrets?

Yay! :D

It's not like this is the first time she's slept with her best friend. First time she's slept with the best friend who has no chance of impregnating her, maybe. Which, really, can only be seen as a plus.

Read up to chp 12. There are certain people in this word who are the diffrent- special. Pike has been instructed by Federation to and gather as many of these "Others" as he can. The rarest of all the Others are called the Immortal Ones. They are brilliant, strong, fast, beautiful and practically indestructible. Pike has located two of these magnificent beings. But Bones and Jim are going to be a... difficult addition to say the least.

Four years after the Mutant Riots in San Francisco, Lois Lane interviews a member of the X-Men, supposed leaders of the mutant anti-registration movement. She expected an action piece; she found something a little closer to home.

In a timeline where the Vulcans never allowed Earth freedom from their oversight, Jim Kirk doesn't fit in. All he needs to get away is a fast ship and a crew as crazy as he is; luckily, some things are universal constants.

"What I'm saying is that Lex Luthor is my son's best friend. He has been since he crashed into our lives two and a half years ago. You're implying that Lex is some sort of pedophile. I'm assuring you that he isn't. Has he given Clark advice on wooing young women that most fathers would cringe at? Probably."

I've read quite a few stories where Harry gets sold off / forcefully married to a Death Eater after the war is over (usually Lucius or Snape) resents it at first, then accepts it, then falls happily in love... This is nothing like that.

John is the best retrieval expert the British Army has, and so naturally it's him that's sent in when some man with little sense of self-preservation keeps getting himself taken hostage - again, and again, and again.

What if Voldemort didn't just unknowingly give Harry some of his powers that night? What if he gave him all of his memories, memories that are now just waiting to come forth? ...The One with the Custosae

Charles sees the events of the missile crisis and subsequent weeks when he uses Cerebro to touch the mind of a mutant with the power to see the near future. When he wakes up he is determined that he will not allow them to happen and he will not lose the people he loves.

Moran doesn't think much of John Watson. Until their paths cross and John beats the crap out of him. Featuring Moran being a little too overconfident for his own good, and John being a badass.

Through an accident Harry and Voldemort's Horcrux begin to interact and Harry slowly begins to change. He becomes stronger and slowly grows aware of the sinister events that have perpetuated his entire life.

Sherlock breaks John's heart. Moriarty is there to pick up the pieces and introduce John to the London criminal underground.

Beginning with Draco's unexpected arrival at the Dursleys, Harry's summer after sixth year becomes filled with activity and many secrets. As his summer progresses, Harry generates several unexpected allies as he finds himself actively becoming the leader of the Light side.

Vala Mal Doran and her partners, renegades Jehan abd-Ba'al and Meredith McKay, hijack the Tau'ri ship Prometheus and leave the Milky Way behind in search of the Lost City of the Ancients, Atlantis.

Standing firm and unaided, John touches his sister's mobile in his pocket. He looks up at the windows of 221b Baker Street and thinks, Oh, what the hell.

"An All-Life. Two-Made-One," the Wraith said and Rodney started to get a really bad feeling about this. "Male and female combined in one form. They are food only for the Queens. They must not be fed upon by others."

The first advantage he notes to being Hufflepuff is that Dumbledore stops looking at him like something he would scrape off his boot. Instead, if he looks at Tom at all he looks bemused, as if he cannot understand how someone so clearly destined for a house with a brain could end up in Hufflepuff. He seems to forget everything he heard of Tom at the orphanage, everything he despised without thought, simply because Tom now wears black and yellow.

A Victorian era AU where Sentinels and Guides are members of everyday society.

On the case of a suspected Arms Dealer, John finds himself roped in to accompanying Sherlock on a Reunion Party from Hell. Why has everybody at the party already heard all about John? Why does Sherlock keep behaving so oddly around one of the guests? And what does any of this have to do with a car crash that happened 20 years before?

She lifted her head and said, to nobody in particular at the table, "They're recalling us back to Earth. We're leaving the Pegasus galaxy. And we're taking the city." They all sat there, thunderstruck. And Sheppard heard a voice, his own voice. "No," he said.

A world in which Sherlock is an artist, not a detective. Though that doesn’t mean he can’t help solve crimes.

A different outcome to Harry's discussion with Albus at the end of OotP.

Harry receives a mysterious letter from Gringotts on his 15th birthday asking for a meeting. He learns that his mother was descended from a squib of a pureblooded line and his great-grandfather had arranged a portkey to transport him to the past. He takes the portkey and finds himself confronting Grindelwald. Harry is under compulsion charms from Dumbledore and Grindelwald immediately removes them. He goes to Hogwarts and befriends Riddle, helping him with his Dark Lord plans. Then he returns to his proper time and we get to watch how the plans are realized.

John became a special type of deadly operator who is able to analyse situation and people after a second for Mycroft while in Afghanistan, and when he returns to England he is hard pressed to be normal again. Then he meets Sherlock Holmes
