Summary
Loneliness is an insidious thing. When Merlin looks at Arthur, he sees not just a prince waiting for his time to rule, but a young man struggling to find his place in the world, with little help from anyone else.
The truth is, Arthur needs more than the friendship Merlin can offer. He needs people he can trust: men and women who will become his court and his confidants, and if he is going to survive to take the throne and lead Camelot into its golden age, he needs them sooner rather than later.
Finding loopholes in Uther’s laws is no easy feat. Court life is a dangerous game, but it’s one Merlin has every intention of winning so that Arthur can have knights of his choosing by his side.
And then there is the matter of his magic…

Summary
Still reeling from Tony and Natasha's deaths, Steve goes back to 2012, using his knowledge of the future to alter the timeline. This time, they'll stop Thanos without losing anyone. This time, he's going to do things right, whatever it takes.
What he failed to anticipate, however, was developing feelings for the one person who is strictly off-limits.
It should've been simple. All he had to do was keep the Avengers together, save the world, and not fall in love with Tony in the process. Instead, one change after another sends events spiraling off in a new and unpredictable direction. Now, the future he remembers is gone, and his meddling might just cost Tony the very thing he came back to protect.

Summary
By an old Republic law, all members of the Jedi High Council are senators in the Galactic Senate, and can thus be voted in as chancellor. A Senator from a less prominent planet has had enough of Chancellor Palpatine's incompetence and calls for a Vote of No-Confidence and the installation of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.
This one action becomes the catalyst that changes the direction of the galaxy.

Summary
Badly injured in the battle at Ashford, Robert Baratheon is forced to marry Cersei Lannister at Casterly Rock to secure the allegiance, and forces, of the Westerlands during the early stages of the rebellion, against the Targaryen rule. The ensuing pregnancy, and birth, of Harian Baratheon, will forever change the history of Westeros.
In another reality, Harry James Potter takes matters into his own hands. Desperately lonely and fed up of a broken, post-war world, he completes a sacrificial ritual to send him to a new world. His interference changes the direction of Westeros, and its fate, as the dark night closes in and yet another war threatens. His presence in Westeros will change history...and the people around him as he once again stands up as a hero to the world.
A life lived twice, for better or for worse, it matters not, for the price of cheating death is always a high price to pay.

Summary
The Coruscant Guard may be the worst posting a clone can land, but those who wind up stuck on Coruscant have two things that their vode do not: regular interaction with the entirety of the GAR, and lots of free time.
It doesn't take very long for those unfortunate few to get bored—and bored troopers left to their own devices are going to get up to something.
What that 'something' is, well...
They call it the GARNet.

Summary
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
****
“70 …” 68 said slowly, taken off-guard. 70 wasn’t a brother normally inclined towards ghost-tales. “Ben isn’t real. He’s just a baby story--something the tubies like to pretend is real.”70 shook his head, his face set in stubborn lines. “He might not be. No, listen--” he gave 74 a glare when it looked like his brother wanted to interrupt again. “I’ve heard the stories, and they’re always the same. The tubies all know what he looks like. They all know he’s a jetii, before anyone ever told them what a jetii was. You know how the longnecks keep batches of tubies separate. There’s no way any of us, or any of the older vod, could have told them about him. But it doesn’t matter. All the batches know about Ben.”
