The last thing Jason expected to see in the middle of some damp alley on the northern edge of Crime Alley at a ripe 4 AM was Tim Drake buying drugs. But life is full of wacky surprises, isn’t it?

Wonderful Tatooine Folktales- they tell a striking narrative, woven together, of Tatooine Slave Culture.

The night that his research partner (and sort-of ex) shows up at his apartment with a gun, Carlos decides to take a mysterious but exceptionally well funded two-year research posting in a town called Night Vale.
A story in which Night Vale is there for the people who need it, Cecil's propensity to wear his innocent heart on his sleeve is perceived as a threat (until it isn't) and no one is allowed to hurt the Scientist. No one.

Brilliant capture of Night Vale in all its eerie familiarity- I wish I knew who wrote it, for I would read their work a million times if I could.

Summary
Iroh accepts, mournfully, that it's going to be a long, long time before Zuko ever feels safe again. If Zuko ever feels safe again. Because of that, because Iroh thinks he already knows the reason for his nephew's silence, he doesn't look closer at just how quiet Zuko has been since waking.
Iroh should have noticed.
He wonders, later, if this, too, is his fault. If something he said while his nephew was still drifting, barely aware of his surroundings, had struck deeper than he meant it to. If even something as simple as a well-meant shh, Zuko, shh had a hand in this.
If Iroh had somehow taken his original mistake and deepened it, rather than trying to make up for it.
(If this is the shape of the scar that Iroh left on his nephew).

Summary
Eighteen-year-old Obi-Wan struggles to support Qui-Gon, who never recovered from the losses of Xanatos and Tahl. He's in pain from a blocked lifebond. All he wants is knighthood and a future with his bondmate. As Qui-Gon's mental health deteriorates, that dream seems to be slipping through his fingers.
-How could Obi-Wan's childhood trauma from his Legends backstory have happened in a Jedi Order run by responsible, caring adults, and what would his recovery from it realistically look like?
-Good people make harmful choices for understandable reasons (unprocessed trauma, unhealthy attachment, insufficient institutional safeguards...)
-Quinlan/Obi-Wan, because I wanted more of that so I wrote it
TWs: discussion of slavery, being a child soldier, emotional abuse/neglect, substance abuse, and brief mentions of sexual violence

Summary
" “I’m not a child,” he tells her, his voice somehow both slurred and raspy, and sounding very much like a child even to his own ears.
“Yes, you are,” Hermione replies. Her voice isn’t mean. It isn’t even her usual bossy tone. It is soft. Sad. "--
A study of Hermione and Harry's relationship, starting with Harry's coping (or lack thereof) with Umbridge's detentions in 5th year. Part 3 of the "The Sun Also" series but can be read on its own just fine, if you prefer.

Good character study on Harry’s struggles- examines both the abuse suffered and those effects on his mental health, through the lens of concerned friends.

Summary
As usual, Merlin has utterly failed in keeping a low profile by inadvertently getting himself dragged into a mess of a situation that appears to have something to do with a seemingly unkillable snake man, a toad woman, an order of phoenixes, and a boy named Harry Potter who, he quickly finds, is equally bemused by his current predicament. When he discovers how lost the boy is, he resolves to help him and his friends get rid of this dark lord--as well as their malignant (and worse, ineffectual) new teacher.
