I just finished this one and liked it a lot. Good word building and adding depth to the characters.

For the first time in *checks* 9 years, a new story from S'TarKan.
Here's chapter 1 of A Wyrm for Weaver
This a Worm crossover.
Chapter 2 has been posted on his Patreon.
For those that prefer to avoid the Pit of Voles, it's supposed to be posted on Royal Road at some point in the not-too-distant future.

What's the other side of the crossover? All searching for the character names gets me is links back to the fic.

The crossover is with an original story of S'TarKan's called Rhiyen's Deal.

mp3.1415player (relatively) recently posted as separate stories chapters from his "Bits and Pieces" threads on SB and SV.
The first is "Panic, See Her...", Where Amy Dallon goes on the warpath after something she created as a theoretical exercise got used by the E88 against her sister.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/60343981
The second is "Vespa", where Taylor browbeats QA into giving her an additional Changer power effect. This one has been getting additional chapters fairly quickly.

The Enemy is a Worm/GIJoe/80s cartoons fusionwhere, it seems, if you manage not to die a villain you live to become the antihero; after getting drawn out of retirement by rampant failure and corruption in the system striking at his own again Cobra Commander is going to make the world worth conquering whether it likes it or not. COBRA always did have the cooler toys anyway...
It also has the most absolutely balls-out crazy Leviathan fight I cqan recall, which with as many permutations have shown up by now is saying rather a lot.
SB threadmarks link
Note that the Side Stories threadmarks are also canon and prone to getting one-line referenced in the main story without further explanation, so best keep a second tab open for them and check post dates to read both sides of that in chronological order.

Harry Potter and the Silvertongue's Aid by MsStarryNightSky
A Harry Potter/ His Dark Materials crossover
Quote:Lyra figures out how to walk between worlds and for seven years has been searching for Will's world, with no luck so far. What she has found are countless other worlds, some of which are interesting, some of which are boring, and some of which have serious, serious issues that apparently the Powers-That-Be have decided it's *her* problem to solve. Usually these problems involve other-world-type issues - issues that Lyra might be the only person *capable* of fixing, like objects from foreign worlds that have been in the wrong place too long and are causing General Reality Weirdness.
When she's twenty-seven and one night she stumbles into the Forbidden Forest on the night Peter Pettigrew (almost) escapes, Lyra can feel something seriously, deeply wrong with this world - and there's also something wrong with this Harry kid, and Lyra has never been able to leave well enough alone in the first place. Let alone when it comes to kids that might need her help. First thing's first, she should probably stop these kids from getting eaten by that werewolf. Yeah. Werewolf.
Lyra can already tell this one's going to be a real headache.

Her Bark's Worse Than Her Bite by Double_D20
Worm
Quote:Amy Dallon. Panacea. Brockton Bay's only hero healer. Guilt-ridden, sarcastic, vindictive, an absolute mess of a teenager with a lot of issues to work through. Luckily she's discovered something truly amazing for her overall sanity. Beating people up is actually very theraputic

I have been greatly enjoying Grinding of the Sword Hero, in which Yumiella Dolknesss (protagonist of I'm the Lv99 Hidden Boss, Not the Demon Lord!) is summoned as the eponymous Sword Hero in the world of Rising of the Shield Hero. She proceeds to do Yumiella things in her typical spcially awkward/tactically terrifying/occasionally tooth-achingly cute kuudere way, inadvertently derailing a few bits of early awfulness, then intentionally interferes in some more as she becomes aware of it, and most recently got her berserk button pressed resulting in a truly Hidden Boss Fight manner. My mo3 jukebox started playing For Whom the Bell Tolls almost exactly on cue to have the opening bells as BGM for the line repeated from the previous cliffhanger and everything.
Written by Obloquy, whose spiky crescent avartar image I recognise as having been attatched to some good stuff previously too.
~120k words in 33 chapters, updates weekly on Saturdays judging by the last few
SB threadmmarks link
This fic really makes me want to see Maple from I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Put All My Points in Defense! as the Shield Hero, actually. It would be nothing like this, but she'f be so different from Naofumi (the OTL protagonist) while also javing the gimmick of relying on equipment special abilities in odd combinations that it's a natural match.

That is indeed very cute, but of all the places to leave off! I know all too well what a pain it is to write mass combat, but "they rode off to fight the demon army and were never heard from again" does not even imply a happy ending, you know?

Phoenix: Reignited Edition [Ranma 1/2]
Quote: A pair of curses have conspired to leave 17-year-old Ranma trapped in a feminine body she never asked for, and too physically sensitive to take a hit. Both are big problems for a martial arts master who used to be an arrogant boy. With no way back to the life she knew, she flees the home of her abusive father and leaves her fiancée behind in search of a life she can call her own.
But, life on the streets of 1989 Tokyo isn't easy. After months alone and barely surviving, she stumbles hungry and broken into the Phoenix, a dive bar run by a hard-edged but kindly woman and the four hard-luck girls she took in out of the cold.
Make that five.
Ranma's new lease on life - as Ranko - gives her the chance to work through her trauma and experience the first unconditional love she's ever known. Empowered by the support of her new family, the partner she never expected to see again, and a newfound passion for music, Ranko begins to embrace her new identity as a young woman and rises from the ashes of the person she used to be.

Just so folks know... this is a rewrite/expansion of an existing fic, which you can find in a few places, including Royal Road. So... if you're too impatient (like me) to wait for reposts, you can always race ahead with the original version.

The Once and Future Champion (Baldur's Gate 3/Dragon Age)
At the end of Dragon Age: Inquisition, Hawke makes the sacrifice play to save the world, only to find himself adrift in the multiverse, ending up a prisoner on a certain doomed Mind-flayer ship... Basically, the role of 'Tav' in Baldur's Gate will be played by an established veteran adventurer, who doesn't QUITE line up with the usual expectations of Toril.
Warning for work computers, it's on Questionable Questing, even if the fic is in the SFW section.

This would have been the perfect solution. Except...they chose Cloud Strife.
The Best Laid Plans is a completed FF7 time travel fixit by Loralei_Dawson, with the small problem that that character who's supposed to be fixing it is used to having his (and a few other people's) memories mixed up between times and ignoring mental voices telling him to do things.Somehow this results in a Best End?
