I read a lot and wanted an easy way to rec things. Most everything is complete or if the series is not, it still comes to a satisfying close.

Summary
The story Hippolyta told her daughter when she was a child was that she carved her from clay. That Zeus breathed life into her, this child she so desired, that she came into being.
This, Diana learns, for all that it was a kindness, was a lie.
Diana tells her daughter the truth; that she was born of love. Imperfect, too brief, human love.
The truth, Diana thinks, the ticking echo of Steve’s watch pounding away in her head - her heart - is rarely a kindness.
Or Diana; after.

Summary
Geralt tries to puzzle out why Jaskier keeps following him into danger after danger... completely missing the obvious. There's too great a gulf between what his witcher senses pick up, and what his damaged heart is willing to accept.
//
"The bard’s heart always beats faster whenever the witcher draws near. That isn't unusual. So do the hearts of most humans he encounters. Not only do they blanch and recoil at the sight of his white hair and amber eyes, but they begin to sweat, the stench of their fear a sour tang at the back of his throat.
But the bard never seems to reek of fear."

Summary
Harry Potter dies a second time of, of all things, quite surprising and unanticipated old age. Once again arrived at King's Cross, he is offered his rightful seat on the Onward Train, but, in that one split second between Life and After, he discovers that though one can take the horcrux out of the Boy-Who-Lived, the crotchety, intensely private family man and world-renowned Auror who grew to take his place is not quite immune to fear-of-death by association. Not quite time travel, it's yet a trope... But... Not.
An epic tale of love, hope, renewal, second chances, revisited priorities, and thoroughly buggered plans and plotlines... None of which are nearly as accidental or incidental as one might imagine. Part One recommended for context.

‘Stop right now. Or I’ll bite you.’

‘I will bite you, Jason,’ Tim promised, ‘come near me and I will bite you.’
‘No biting in the elevator.’
‘Silence, Richard! I am eager to see how this progresses.’
Or: The batboys get stuck in an elevator and it goes just as badly as you’d expect.
