Of the Northmost Winds and Skies by xxiiyu

Summary
It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.
Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.

Summary
After living and long and somewhat tumultuous life, Ross Poldark dies full of regrets for the mistakes he has made in his past.

Summary
Mat burst into Rand’s tent, covered in blood and thoroughly disgruntled. This was all Rand’s fault! Mat hadn’t wanted to be anywhere near the battle for Cairhien and had tried to leave, but Rand’s bloody ta’veren pull had dragged him right back into the thick of it, and now somehow he had an entire army looking to him for orders, and as if that wasn’t bad enough—
“What is that?” Rand said, raising his eyebrows at the wailing bundle in Mat’s arms.
“Your fault, that’s what!” Mat said. “I found some bloody idiot giving birth on the battlefield while dying of a stab wound, and now I’m stuck with this thing!”

Summary
Due to an administrative error, Obi-Wan is deployed on a mission that Anakin's been undercover on for the last month and a half. Which would be fine with Anakin if their solo-mission styles weren't totally, radically different from each other.
See, Anakin adopts a cover, goes to ground, and works the case through a series of subtle investigative procedures designed to not arouse suspicion from the local population.
Obi-Wan, apparently, swans into the nearest cantina and flirts his way into his suspect's bed through a process of indulgent trial and error.
Which would be fine with Anakin if he didn't have to watch it. And if it were some other Jedi flirting with a criminal sleemo and not his master. Oh, and if Anakin and Obi-Wan hadn't accidentally gotten too drunk and slept together six months ago and never talked about it again.
Then it would be fine.

"I can appreciate a pretty face when I see one. And you, Kaz, are pretty. A pretty face and a pretty mind with perfect grades.”
“Does it seem ethical to you, to call one of your students pretty?”
“Are you going to argue ethics with me while standing in the house you broke into?”The job was simple. Take the class, sell the tests.

Summary
It’s funny, at least a little bit.
Because while Anakin was surviving through long and boring peace talks with the Separatists by entertaining himself with lovesick daydreams of never letting go of his master’s hand and waking late in the mornings to find his master curled up along his back and going on romantic excursions into the Lower Levels of Coruscant and picnicking in the High Street City Gardens and pressing his master down into a bed of expensive silk in the Open Circle colors, suitable for war heroes, Obi-Wan was standing two Jedi down from him with his hands clasped neatly behind his back and thinking, apparently, I should really get another padawan now that the war’s over and such.
Or,
Obi-Wan requests a new padawan after the war's end. Anakin isn't necessarily mad about it. Or, he swears that he wouldn't be if only the new padawan weren't such a Force-be-damned cockblock.

Summary
“I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”
“Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.
“I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”
”Father,” she corrects.
”Your father,” he agrees.
*****
An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

Summary
A year after the Winter Soldier failed his mission in DC, Bucky Barnes is doing his best to stay under the radar from both Hydra and Steve Rogers. His hope for a peaceful day-to-day life in limbo goes awry, however, when he meets Queens’ newest hero; a pure-hearted kid with a death wish and a ridiculous pair of red and blue pajamas.
The last thing Steve expects when he finally tracks Bucky down is that, not only has the man been living in Queens all this time, right under his nose, but also that, in the two years since they last saw each other, Bucky somehow acquired a kid.
Alternatively: How Peter Parker effectively fucks over Bucky Barnes, and also totally saves him.

“No kissing, boys,” Nurse Cho cuts in, still giggling, “You have stitches in your gums so you don't want the site to get infected.” She’s trying to sound professional, but the non-stop laughter isn’t helping her case.
“Aww, come on,” Suho whines, pulling back a little, “Look at that pretty mouth.” He squishes Sieun's cheeks together until his lips pucker. “So fucking kissable.”
Or, Suho gets his wisdom teeth removed and chaos ensues.

3 times people assumed Carl was gay, and 1 time they were right by IronyOfJoy

Summary
Weeks after closing his first case, a few people in Carl's life begin to question his sexuality, and relationship with his co-worker, Akram.
-
His string of thoughts were interrupted by Jasper finally speaking up; “Y’know, I don’t care if you're gay.”
Carl drops the plate he was scrubbing. Ah shit, he’s got to stop breaking things. “What? I’m not—why would you say that?”
“I just, well—you seemed close,” Jasper wants nothing more than to retract his words and sink into the floor. “That’s all.”
There’s another pause, then Carl speaks again, his words firm. “I’m not gay, Jasper.”
-
Please just read it, I promise it's decent.

Summary
“Then why untie me?”
The man grins, terribly amused, and awfully affectionate. Andromache wants to look away, but for some reason, can’t. Maybe because the look in his eye reminds her of herself, a lifetime ago. “Because my beloved is soft, and kind, and will flay me alive if he’d known I tied up a woman.”
