Summary
Sylvanas is an immortal banshee, a fairy tale monster who can see the deaths of people she meets. She's spent thousands of years like this, moving through the world from town to town, city to city, existing and trying to stay out of the public eye.
Which is part of what makes it so incredibly annoying to be captured by a research facility and imprisoned. That and the experimentation, of course.

Summary
In a heated duel at the height of a losing battle, Jaina casts a last-ditch portal. It's meant to send the Warchief to the center of Alliance command, where she can be subdued and put on trial for her crimes. Unfortunately the portal sends them to another plane entirely—where Jaina, stranded in unfamiliar wilderness and crippled by the magical backlash, finds herself dependent on the assistance of an experienced ranger.
Mutual need allows them to hammer out a truce, but even that can't keep them from falling back into old habits; once through the shock, neither of them wants to rely on the other, and they're both quite willing to lie, double cross, or otherwise manipulate the other to achieve their own ends. The tentative ceasefire seems doomed to failure, until contact with the residents of this strange new planet makes it horrifyingly clear exactly what kind of civilization they have stumbled upon.
Suddenly, everything has become simpler—and infinitely more complicated.
(Or: An archmage and a banshee take it upon themselves to fix Gor by any means necessary.)

Summary
The court at Lordaeron has many oddities: Both a Queen-Consort and a Dowager Queen, a Swan Knight who never speaks, three missing Princesses.
And at the center, Jaina Proudmoore, King Arthas's wife, a foreigner and a witch, and the woman who might be able to unravel it all.

Summary
It is so clear to Jaina that the Horde is rotten, that the Alliance is unable to correct matters, that the so-called gods are no such thing.
It should be clear to others.
If it isn’t, that surely means they cannot be trusted.

Summary
In which Saetan cannot, despite his honor, leave his sons to torture. In which, as a consequence, Surreal grows up loved and cared for, and takes a slightly different career path. In which, due to both of these, Jaenelle's tutors are less willing to leave her to be abused.
Too bad that's hard to explain to a child. And definitely too bad that this is a child who must be made to willingly cooperate.
(Or: In which Dorothea is nasty, but ultimately too weak to go toe-to-toe with the protagonists. So we need a bigger, badder--or at least more powerful--antagonist.)

At the End of All Things by tardigradetardis

01 May 2014
Summary
The Last Great Time War is the worst war reality has ever known. It scatters across timelines, destroying worlds and damaging universes. Objectively, Romana knows this; subjectively, it's a lot harder to remember that every variation of you has it just as bad when the Daleks are breaking through your defenses earlier than you had ever planned for.
Fortunately, Romana also knows the value of a backup plan. There is a select group of people, most Earth humans but some not, who, if brought together, could bring down the Daleks.
Some days, Romana even thinks she might win this war.

Republic of Heaven Community Radio by ErinPtah
Fandom: Fail_Fandomanon RPF, His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman, Welcome to Night Vale
05 Feb 2021
Summary
More than a century after the events of His Dark Materials, a Rusakov particle physicist (and lifelong Lyra Belacqua fanboy) brings a team of experimental theologians to Night Vale.
It was supposed to be a simple research trip. Instead, Carlos finds himself making a home, falling in love, and — with allies like the alethiometrist who adores his hair, a well-read middle-schooler who's handy with a knife, and a young woman accidentally displaced out of space and time — facing down a gathering crisis which threatens to topple the entire Republic of Heaven.
