    Summary

    The morning after her and Byleth's wedding, Emperor Edelgard von Hresvelg wakes up in her old bedroom in Garreg Mach to discover that she has brown hair, only one Crest, ten happy and healthy brothers and sisters, and a bad habit of sleeping through her professor's lectures. Hubert is unusually cheerful, Byleth teaches the Blue Lions, and nobody has heard of the Flame Emperor. Instead, a figure known as the Hurricane King and his sinister cohort the Death Knight stalk the monastery.

    No sooner has Edelgard sought out this new world's Byleth than she finds herself standing in the eye of a storm of continent-spanning conspiracies centered on a young man with snow-white hair — one that will engulf Garreg Mach, the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, the Adrestian Empire, and Edelgard's own family as it carries the roaring winds of war across Fodlan. A threat from a past so ancient it predates even Fodlan's oldest and murkiest myths is stirring, threatening to tear time itself asunder — and it may be her only way back home.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A fic this long should not have pacing this excellent, and yet it does. By far the best-executed time travel fanfic I've ever read. There is no free trip back in time to fix things, and everything is so different that the 'traditional' preternatural foresight of a time traveling protagonist is hamstrung from the very start. Past, present, and future all exist in nebulous parallel, time loops *must* come full circle, and who says the past can't reshape the future even as the future alters the past? I cannot say enough positive things about how this fic handles a trope that I'm usually very wary of, and that's not even getting into how well done the characters and their interactions are. I love Edelgard here so much, I love her relationships with the Blue Lions, and the bonding and angst that arise from it are both equally delightful.

    Also, Ingrid. I love her. She's my girl, and it's a crime that she doesn't have supports with Edelgard in game because they could have such a wonderful friendship/relationship, and this fic fully realizes it. It does so much justice to my girl.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I just really love this fic. It does such an excellent job converting Touhou's whimsical setting and cast into urban paranormality, and it gives up very little of what makes Touhou so special in the process. Everyone's a little different, but all still very much themselves, and while the incidents, as they were, are definitely reduced in scale and scope, they make up for their lack of over the top danmaku battles with a layer of investigation and intrigue that translates far better to a literary format. This is just such a well-done adaptation, and it's so different from all the other Touhou fics out there.

    Also, the authour uploaded the whole Luna Nights soundtrack to their youtube channel, which was really very nice and helpful of them.

    Summary

    When the message came, there was little left of Cassiopeia Black in her — soon she would move on, shed her face and her name for another. But, at the last possible moment, she found a reason to carry on, the smouldering embers of her identity sparking to new life. Unfortunately, adopting the Boy Who Lived came with complications.

    This bookmark is kind of a stand-in for all of InwardTransience's 'recent' fics, because I adore her worldbuilding. She transforms the world of Harry Potter from poorly thought out nonsense into a fleshed out, fully realized, and above all *functional* society. I cannot imagine the effort it took to properly align all the moving pieces that make up the history, politics, and social evolution that comprises the setting, but all that work shines brilliantly in the final product.

    Also, I love fics where the protagonist is violently adopted by better parents, and I fucking adore Cassiopeia Black.

    Summary

    Banette is a pokemon that exists to give meaning to abandoned and discarded things. They evolve from their first form, the ghostly Shuppet, by possessing abandoned dolls. But when an ill-treated boy dies alone, a friendly Shuppet he named Diya takes it upon itself to give his life meaning. Diya possesses and revives his body, becoming a Banette, and sets out to make the boy's dream of becoming a pokemon trainer come true.

    Along the way Diya makes friends, fights some pokemon, finds a deep and abiding love of scarves, blurs the line between living and dead, accidentally becomes a necromancer, and to everyone's surprise even finds the time to accomplish its original goal and catch a pokemon or three.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Rare is the fic that so perfectly embodies what made me fall in love with pokemon, but this is that fic. A brilliantly heartwarming tale borne out of tragic beginnings, I love this fic for a lot of the same reasons that I love the work of Becky Chambers; it's chicken noodle soup fiction - writing that warms and heals the soul.
