Summary
It's been years since Doctor Ryland Grace saved Erid and Earth. He is content with his life, happy just to teach the next generation of Eridians and have the occasional game night with Rocky and Adrian in his dome. For the most part, nothing changes.
And that's the problem. Shouldn't Grace, y'know...age? When Rocky indicates that he should be sixty human years old by now, Grace can't reconcile the young face in the mirror with the time that his friend has religiously kept.
Things get more complicated when another undoubtedly human ship shows up at the edge of the 40 Eridani system. Suddenly Grace is playing ambassador between the two species, and tensions are rising between them. Will this be a successful second contact, or is the peaceful life Grace just wants to live too much to ask for?

Summary
"It's unusual for you to actually want to go on a mission into space. What's changed?" The mic pushed up closer to his mouth while the crowd eagerly waited for a heartfelt answer.
"Because I want to! Hell, I'm gonna be the first person to step foot on that damn planet!" He exclaimed out, startling those around him.
The reporter instinctively, took a step back.
"There has to be some reason... anything at all? Not even out of curiosity?" she asked cautiously.
Katsuki wasn't about to tell them the truth-that he'd become obsessed with the bright star burning in the night sky.
And he definitely wasn't going to tell them how the signal from that distant planet somehow felt meant for him.

Summary
We can turn lead to gold and fly on sticks, but we don't have a story of why we should bother.
Wizarding Britain, 2007. The Statute is in freefall. The ICW loses more members every day. The British Ministry is quaking. Across the Atlantic, the 'Free League of Merlin' has issued a terrifying choice: the right to know you’ve been wronged. A thousand thousand visions grow for the magical world's future.
Three hundred years ago, the Statute began. To hide wizards from Muggles. It rebirthed wizarding life into a monoculture known as Secrecy. And as that cloak falls away, witches and wizards of Earth are beginning to ask, "Who are we without it?"
And no one has the same answer.

Optimus Prime, already controversial among Autobot society for his progressive views and desire to seek lasting peace with the Decepticons, is granted a vision by the Matrix of leadership--the first Prime in seven generations to hear the voice of Primus. He is to leave Cybertron with companions of his choosing and travel across the galaxy to a small and mostly disregarded organic world called Earth, for what purpose he does not know, as Autobot political rivals and Decepticon opponents attempt to sabotage the mission or kill him outright.
Meanwhile, on Earth, a group of disaffected teenagers in a small town in Maine are about to discover that the galaxy is much, much bigger than any of them had ever suspected, and inexplicably full of giant robots.

He’s never had a pet before and this creature has a history of servere behavioral problems, but he can’t let the poor thing stay at the shelter forever without trying to save it.

Summary
When Jazz crash-lands on Earth, he expects a damaged ship, bad odds, and a long repair job far from Autobot help.
He does not expect Tony Stark.
Tony is small, organic, reckless, brilliant, and entirely too interested in alien engineering. He also brings coffee Jazz cannot drink, music Jazz cannot ignore, and enough stubborn genius to help repair a Cybertronian ship on the side of a mountain.
Jazz only needs to stay on Earth long enough to get home.
Three days should not be enough to leave a mark.
They do anyway.

Summary
Part 4 of *Star Trek: Expedition Andromeda* carries the stranded Federation expedition into a darker and more complicated phase of its journey. As Voyager, Asteria, and Vanguard uncover signs that the Borg threat in Andromeda is older, stranger, and more far-reaching than they first understood, the crews must also navigate fragile diplomacy between wounded civilizations, uneasy allies, and powers that have survived by hiding from one another for generations.
While Janeway and Seven confront the growing shape of the enemy ahead, Vanguard’s search for a possible new ally becomes a test of patience, command, and moral clarity far from the rest of the fleet. Across the season, exploration gives way to consequence, and Starfleet’s ideals are tested not by a single battle, but by the harder question of what trust, mercy, and resistance mean in a galaxy where survival has taught every civilization a different lesson.

Summary
You are profoundly alone. You have been for a while. Suddenly, you aren't anymore, and you are struggling to be normal about it. Pooling strengths and weaknesses with the strange creature on its explosive-atmosphere ship might just be the only way to save both of your stars, but it might also lead to more than just strictly scientific discoveries, and neither of you are sure how to feel about that.

Summary
Once upon a time, on a certain dark planet called Surcease live the Kaedekin.
Clones of a single magical girl, the Kaedekin have spent the last several hundred years building up from a single crashed ship and three thousand survivors into a planet-spanning civilization. It's been difficult. The life native to the planet is inedible, the heavy metal content of everything makes everything very complicated, the perpetual darkness blocking out the visible light of the nearby star makes everything very complicated, and the random kaiju created by the mutagenic void energies coming from certain spots on the planet make everything very... you get the idea.
Oh, and every year the chance that they'll finally make first contact with one of the many space-faring polities in that galaxy that they've been listening to increases.
Mahou Legacy Kuronu Uchuu Story is about to begin…!

Summary
And there amongst the stars
The span of the universe I see
Buried underneath
I feel the cold touch of promise
And the vastness of the void(sort of a fun experiment with halo's lore and universe. Very non canon. Very ooc. Somewhat of a throwaway thing for me.)

Summary
A routine patrol of the R.A.W. drops Sue and Kyrith into the Pelagris border… and straight into Valdemar.
The locals think she’s a Herald, the geas thinks magic is boring, and the portal thinks it’s an excellent time to become a permanent on‑ramp to the multiverse.
Sue ends up performing emergency marriages, outrunning Heralds, arguing with the Queen’s Own, yelling Vanyel awake, and negotiating whether Valdemar should join the Great Road.
It’s supposed to be border maintenance. It becomes diplomacy, ghost‑wrangling, and infrastructure planning.

Summary
After the Taumoeba leak, after I decided to die after all and turned my ship around to save Rocky, after Rocky's frantic calculations about food supplies, Taumoeba multiplication rates, and human caloric intake needs, after we realized that with some rationing and luck I would make it, but that we were headed toward the unknown territory of trying to rapid-prototype me a life support system and synthetic food supply on an inhospitable planet: after all of that, after everything, I shouldn't have been surprised that it only took a few months on board the Hail Mary for things to get weird.

Edit: I made some minor continuity and grammar edits on 6/20, this is the final version!
