Summary
Lucky is a massive shaggy stray dog who belongs to ten-year-old Harry Potter. But just as Harry is not a normal boy, Lucky is not at all a normal dog.
Or, an AU where Sirius Black is an animal for 12 years, *not* Peter Pettigrew.

The Gift of Hobbits by MoroseBarnacle

Summary
The gift of hobbits is a secret not known to dwarves. Bilbo’s gift saves the Company—repeatedly—and they don’t even know it until after Smaug is dead. But by then, just about everybody knows there’s a hobbit in Erebor, and the invading orcs decide to keep Bilbo and his otherworldly gift for themselves.

Summary
A silly hobbit one shot.
Hobbits being beardless is cultural, not biological. Hobbit men shave. And for weeks Bilbo’s been shaving without any of the Company noticing. But Bilbo lost his shaving razor somewhere under the Misty Mountains, and by the time they reach Beorn’s, he’s got quite a beard going. The dwarves appropriately freak out (especially the royal brooding one). Bilbo doesn’t notice and makes pie.
Or, a one-shot featuring the dwarvish equivalent of the overalls-wearing girl taking off her glasses and putting on a sundress trope.

"Aghh," or: The Very Overdue Realization and Subsequent Actions of One Adm. James Kirk by a_most_beloved_fool

Summary
The realization struck him sometime after three o'clock on a Wednesday, just as he was in the middle of tidying his desk at Starfleet HQ.
Maybe, for anyone else, it wouldn't have come as quite so much of a surprise, but Admiral James T. Kirk, former starship captain and five-time winner of the Federation Bugle’s Most Eligible Bachelor award (some thirty-five years ago, at least), was much-versed in the skills of repression and denial, and when the revelation hit, it hit him hard: butterflies, flushed cheeks, shaking hands — the whole shebang — and no matter how he tried to phrase it to himself, the words didn't make any more sense than they did from the get-go.
He was in love with Spock. He was in love with Spock. He was in love with Spock.
Absolute nonsense.

Summary
Five years into his reign, Arthur faces a magical curse that spells doom for Camelot. Desperate to save his people, Arthur reaches out to Emrys for aid— and is stunned when the great sorcerer arrives in person. Emrys is mysterious and irreverent, refusing to even show his face and instead keeping it always obscured by a magical cloak of shadows. But as they work together to fight back against the growing curse, Arthur finds himself drawn to the sorcerer for reasons that feel far too familiar. First a friendship blossoms, and then Arthur is forced to ask himself if he's falling in love.
A feeling he'd thought impossible since Merlin's death five years ago, when Arthur's heart shattered into pieces.

Summary
Spock is a uniquely frustrating Vulcan.
McCoy has known this since the day they first met, and yet, the hobgoblin still manages to find new, inventive ways of irritating him.
Today, he is lying in a crumpled heap on the ground, insisting that he and Kirk leave him behind. McCoy very well may have done so if not for the fact that they are stranded in the middle of a tundra, dressed in nothing but their thin uniforms while a blizzard whips snow and ice around their ears.

Summary
The first letter arrived early in the afternoon.
Amanda had not expected it.
She had hoped, perhaps, in the quiet and private way she had learned to hope for things where Spock was concerned—carefully, without pressure, the way one hopes for rain in a dry season without demanding it of the sky—but she had not expected it.
Sarek had said nothing on the shuttle home from the Enterprise, and she had said nothing either, because there are certain things a mother understands about her children that do not require discussion with anyone, including their fathers.
So when the message came through, flagged with a Starfleet routing code and addressed in the precise, unornamented way Spock had of writing her name—Amanda Grayson, no flourish, no endearment, as though she were a colleague and not the woman who had read him Tennyson until he fell asleep—she set down her tea and sat with it for a moment before she opened it.
--
Or, Spock writes home, Amanda reads between the lines.Series
