Summary
The day after Scar breaks up with Grian, the dead come back to life. Knowing that venturing out alone is a death sentence, the sudden onset of the apocalypse forces them to stick together despite the tensions between them. In the wreckage of the world, they're forced to survive side-by-side, coming to terms with the fact that—try as they might—there's no one they trust more than each other.
“Go!” Grian shouts as the monster charges, putting his whole force into the blow.
Scar watches, frozen stiff as Grian fights until blood and gore and viscera mark the creature up like a Pollock painting.
“What are you waiting for?!” Grian snaps when he finally notices that Scar is still standing there. He grips his weapon tight and attacks a final time, slamming the zombie down—good and dead—and standing panting over top of it, strained but victorious. He starts rushing from the scene, calling back for Scar over his shoulder. “Run!”
And in a way that’s as familiar to him as breathing, Scar chases after him.

Summary
In the adventurer’s paradise of Aotearoa (NZ), Stede Bonnet has dreamt of being a travel guide since he was a boy.
Unfortunately, being the heir to coach tour company Bonnet Adventures means he’s doomed to a life behind a desk, planning experiences he’ll never have.
Edward Teach is what they call a world-weary traveler. Having guided nature tours in some of the most extreme environments around the world, he’s seen and done it all – and he’s bored out of his skull.
When Stede abandons his family to lead a trekking tour of the country, he quickly realizes that he’s in over his head, and looks to more experienced guide, Ed, for guidance.
Facing high-maintenance travel bloggers, treacherous natural elements and the ever-present feeling that they’ll never be enough, Stede and Ed find new purpose - and each other - on the adventure of a lifetime.

Summary
The stranger is wearing a science-green uniform dress with a bloodstained white apron over it and a red dressing gown over that, and they don’t look like any Starfleet officer BJ has ever seen.
BJ Hunnicutt is sent by Starfleet to a front-line medical ship in the Dominion War, where amid terror, boredom and daytime drinking, he falls for his sweet-but-crazy maverick of a chief medical officer.
(Hawkeye, as ever, is doing their best in a difficult world.)

Summary
“What if I told you the Edward you loved died on that dock?” He asks, a frightened animal, biting, growling. “That Blackbeard’s all that’s left, now.”
“I’d say they’re one and the same and I love them both.” He can feel Stede’s tears dripping onto his skin and they burn like candle wax, like hot oil for all they pain him to feel. “Even if they hate me.”
"What if I sent you away?"
"I wouldn't go."

Summary
It’s the total raging bullshit of this that sets Ed off. How can Stede stand there and claim unblushingly that he loves who Ed is when the only time he saw Ed without all the things Ed has spent his entire adult life wrapping around himself, he spent the whole bloody time looking somewhere between disturbed and horror-struck.
Stede thinks he knows what he’s getting into, does he? Fuck off. The fuck he does.

Summary
For ten years, Mary Allamby Bonnet has barely given any thought to her "late" husband Stede. She's been far too busy enjoying her life as his wealthy widow. Until the night that Stede appears at her door, badly wounded, in the arms of the most feared pirate in history.
Until that moment Mary had never truly believed the Wanted posters that claimed Stede as a "known associate" of Blackbeard's. Yet here he is, in her home, less the legendary pirate captain than simply Stede's Ed, a man terrified of losing the love of his life. He won't, though. Not if Mary has anything to say about it.
Or, Mary and Ed nurse Stede back to health and in doing so form a friendship.

Summary
“Do you think I could help in some way?” he asks.
Ed glances at him. “Like how?”
“I don’t know. You seemed to enjoy our little gag of trading places that one time.” Stede shrugs a shoulder. He’s wearing his pink satin waistcoat and matching breeches, no overcoat—too fucking humid tonight. Ed can see the shape of his arm through the thin linen of his shirt. “What if you pretend you’re the one who isn’t in charge, and I can pretend I’m the one who is. That would be fun, wouldn’t it?”

There is no law, neither among my people nor in the land of the Staryk, that says love is a chest with only one key.
I love all of these details, and these bits of their future, and Wanda coming into her own, and Wanda counting the years in her own way, and this beautiful ending.

The Repair Shop isn’t hard to find. But you can’t reach it unless you have an old and broken thing that needs the attention of masters of rare and forgotten crafts, as I found out after two weeks of trying to get there, despite being given perfectly clear directions.

Oh my goodness, this is extraordinary. I love a skillful "in space" AU, and this one absolutely fits that bill. I love The Repair Shop and how they bring things to life. I love all the worldbuilding here, and all the stories the author evokes without fully telling. And then that quotation at the end made me almost burst into tears, in a good way. I think this will be one of the standout fics from my Yuletide reading this year.

Summary
Toby's out for the night and Quentin and the gang are having a nice hangout. Which is, of course, when something unexpected happens. Set vaguely around A Killing Frost.
Happy Yuletide!
---
The trouble started when there was a knocking on the front door.
Chelsea paused her Metroid game mid-level and looked around the room, meeting the boys’ eyes in turn.
“Did anyone order any pizza?” she asked.
“Not me,” said Dean, shaking his head.
Quentin frowned and looked at the half-open bedroom door. He could just see a sliver of the hallway. “I don’t think we have any outstanding death threats.”

Quentin and May were right. Tybalt and Toby needed a night out, even if Toby was being the jittery new mother with separation anxiety. She'd earned the right to worry. In the long list of things she'd worried about, though, this hadn't even made the top twenty.

This is absolutely glorious. I love Tybalt confiscating Toby's phone, and the kitten on top of the fridge, and the way the author shows Tybalt's concern (through Toby' eyes) only as it's disappearing, and the radiant way he looks at them.
