The Scholar


The Scholar by Morena
Gen Merlin & Arthur

http://www.tthfanfic.org/wholestory.php?no=28215#chapter1

Very good story of Merlin while waiting for Arthur to be reborn gets involved in the Stargate Program as an old man. It just goes hilariously downhill from there. The story explores some of what happens although the timeline in SG1 is not really changed just added to. Then Merlin realizes that Arthur is ready to be born so before he leaves SGC He brings in a long mysterious package that when he unwraps it in the gateroom turns out to be a sword that he thrusts into the ground that rises around it until it becomes the Sword in the stone. Good writing, and as for the ending it was perfect especially the story of the dragon that lasts through generations. Not to take away from or make light of the author but this is the kind of refreshing story you need when you finish an intense, dark, or angsty story to help you recharge

Kirk/Wonder Woman

Awesome story, hands down the best  Star Trek crossover story I have read to date and trust me that is a lot of stories. It is so smoothly done that you don't think of it as a crossover. The characters remain true to themselves Diana doesn't just leap on this to her reincarnation of someone she loved. Actually she can't stand him at first because here is this underachieving, giant smartass child who is the spitting image of a brave, heroic man. Later after the third movie is when the plot really takes off and now she is dealing with a mature, seasoned captain. Still the relationship moves at a slow realistic pace as she doesn't want to be unfair to Kirk and see a dead love when looking at him. The explanation as why the world does not remember the justice league is heartbreaking. The fight scenes are outstanding and you will laugh and cry through the story. The ending was not what I thought it would be but it was perfect. The epilogue was beautifully executed and kept true to who the characters were. I mean Uhura as president yeah I could see that. I don't think I have read a story I enjoyed more and this one I will be downloading to my kindle for the next long car trip.

When Worlds Collide by elfinblue
Gen NCIS/Supernatural

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9018850/21/When-Worlds-Collide

Good story with a humorous twist to it. This is a crossover between NCIS and Supernatural. There are no real pairings just hints. This story is about Crowley's brilliant plan to get rid of the brothers by targeting Gibbs team and making the brothers look guilty. It doesn't work and you are dragged along for a wild ride as the crack team decides to show the Fed's how it is done. DiNozzo and Dean get along like two peas in a pod. The NCIS team come up with the idea that Dean and Sam are really chasing terrorists that they call monsters when they are actually monsters acting as terrorists. Abby is wonderful and really gets into the whole sigils and accidentally bans Castiel almost killing Dean. It's a good story, the brothers get to clear their name, the government learns what is out there and the team is tighter than ever.

Mischief's Heir


Mischief’s Heir Series by mad_fairy
https://archiveofourown.org/series/309447
Gen

Excellent set of stories I love how one small change can have a large cascading effect. In this case Harry prays to Loki the summer between 1st and 2nd year after being locked up and is answered. This begins a change of events that leads to the stars. It not only affects Harry but Loki as well. Each story is well plotted moving the characters along without making them too OOC. There are different pairings due to the different circumstances and Dumbledore is out maneuvered with ease by the trickster god. There is no character bashing just some characters that are being more fleshed out with better potential. Each story is funny with just enough drama to keep it real. I love what happened with Hermione because really she was that pushy. She shows actual development into a full 3d character with flaws as well as virtues. Dumbledore’s reaction to the “rescue” of Tom Riddle is funny. Even more hilarious is the reaction of Shield, Tony, and Peggy Carter. Thanks to the Unspeakables trying to keep the muggles busy while moving planets Captain America is found 20 years early, then comes the Winter Soldier. There is even a nod to the Avengers movie when Loki invades earth and Shield is sure the wizards are back. Luckily his wards have been looking for him and send Thor to rescue him. The Avengers have no idea what is happening and the ending is just perfect.  An enjoyable set of stories I hope the author comes back to show us their lives on the new planet.

The Adventures of Godiva, Mischief and Mayhem Series
1st Story: This Gonna Be Good by GStarshine
https://archiveofourown.org/works/8462437?view_full_work=true#main

Fem Harry/Fred/George

Excellent story with a lot of action, humour, sarcasm, and a general vengeance is mine attitude. While not a great fan of fem Harry I do enjoy a good one. This is already past 400k and does not seem to stop. Harriet loses everyone thanks to traitors Ron & Hermione and a power hungry Dumbledore who has aligned with Thanos. This includes her soulmates Fred & George and her infant son. While dying she inadvertently triggers a Phoenix power and travels back to just before Hogwarts. This time she is going to save her family which includes the Avengers and watch those that betrayed her burn as her world once did. She wants her family of choice back and decides to make friends anonymously with the pre-Avengers. She is determined to save them all including Loki which really pisses of Odin. Turns out there are Phoenixes Laws in Asgard and being considered one of their flock is an honor. Odin paranoid that a Phoenix will rule against him and take the throne tries to enslave her and pays dearly for going against a Phoenix as well as someone under phoenix protection.  A hell of a read with ghosts, transforming animals, suspicious Not-Avengers, a pissed off Fury and a Dumbledore who can't believe how bad his plans are blowing up in his face. Harriet Potter has stacked the deck and is playing to win. The characters are well written and the story flows smoothly. Even is you did not know the background stories the characters are fleshed out enough without being redundant. Of course changing the future is not easy and one change can start an avalanche.

A Second Chance
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4260190/31/
Gen Harry Potter

Great story and one of my favorite story lines where Harry is raised by his future self. In this one he is raised by James's blood adopted brother Diablos Potter. Who we later find out is Harry from another timeline. The action is great and the heroes flawed. With Harry being raised differently all the interactions are different especially with Draco and Hermione. There is no pairing but still the interactions among the characters shows the deep affection and trust that motivates them to protect each other no matter who stands in the way. The depiction of Dumbledore in both lives is disturbing because there is a very fine line between devoted to a cause and a fanatic to a cause. I love the loyalty and sassyness of Diablos house elf. There is a follow up story I have not read yet but I am sure it is just as good.

Tony Dinozzo, Undercover Marine
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11550174/19/
Tony/JJ

Great story with a premise I have not seen before. Tony DiNozzo is actually Major Anthony DiNozzo, USMC who is undercover in NCIS to seek out corruption. In the sixth year of being Agent he meets JJ Jareau of the BAU and falls in love. He eventually receives permission to read her in and this is their story. There is romance, angst, wedding, and pregnancy in addition to the usual bullets, crime and team drama. Very entertaining and one I read before and lost. You really feel for poor Tony who is nothing like his NCIS persona but he is the best at what he does and is a dedicated marine. The author focused on how hard the relationship was and just how many compromises they had to make as a couple which included hiding everything about Tony to her teammates. I wish the author had continued with an epilogue of what happened when the baby is born but all in all a great story with a satisfying ending.
