Dreaming of Angels
(Barbetta Hayden):
----
It would have been difficult if not impossible to say who was more surprised; Captain Chris Larabee of the ATF, or the small child Chris had dead in his sights."Shit!" Chris quickly pointed his gun toward the ceiling and took a deep breath to steady his nerves. Hours spent searching the old, abandoned warehouse had left him both edgy and frustrated. "What the hell are you doing here?!"

Coming Home Again (Joy K)
JD stood quietly by the window staring sadly at the falling snow. Any normal five-year-old boy would have been jumping up and for joy at the sight and begging to go out and play, but JD didn't feel like playing. All he wanted with his whole heart was to go home to be with Mr. Buck and Vin and Mr. Chris.
JD turned and looked at his aunt. She was a nice lady and JD knew that she loved him, but this just wasn't home.

Drive(JK): https://blackraptor.net/m7fic-16/drive.htm
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When daddy let me drive

Summary
Timothy Jackson Drake-Wayne was kidnapped from his office one gloomy Wednesday morning by none other than the Red Hood, an action apparently carried out in order to, quote, "thwart an assassination attempt, Timerella, so shut the fuck up before I carry out the hit for them."
Somehow, this situation and the associated threat to his life, his dignity, and the cortisol levels of Wayne Enterprises' PR team quickly became the least of Tim's concerns. By Wednesday noon the forced bonding exercise with his sort-of-estranged sort-of-brother had evolved into inadvertent dimensional travel.
And there was something very, very wrong with this Gotham.

This Space Opera by AthenaAstrea
Fandom JAG, NCIS, Stargate SG-1, The Sentinel (TV), Various Fandoms - Fandom
15 Jun 2019
Summary
“Tony, I don’t want to scare the bejesus out of you or anything, but you are, like the hero of every space opera ever. Seriously, I’m getting Captain Kirk, Paul Atreides, and Obi Wan Kenobi all rolled into one here. The young Obi Wan I mean.” Guide Angela Montenegro
Guide Anthony DiNozzo thinks he's had his shot at bonding. He's met "his" sentinel and, for reasons that he doesn't want to talk about, he turned him down. That should be it. After all, if a person doesn't bond with their perfect match, they don't get another chance, right? Tony's former sentinel won't so much as consider bonding with another guide, even to treat his terminal illness.
Leave it to Tony to break all the rules and in doing so, end up in the middle of a goddamned space opera, complete with politics, aliens, and his very own Space Force general.
Okay, so technically, Major General Jonathan "Jack" O'Neill is Air Force, but by the time Tony is done, who knows, there may well be a sixth branch of the military. And who better to lead it than a guy who's saved Earth a few dozen times?

Two Nickels: Jack finding his guide in Tony leads to revelations for the SGC
----
"US troops make crap peacekeepers.”“Of course we do,” Jack said a little huffily. “We’re soldiers. We make war, not peace. I just don’t know why everyone is so surprised,” Jack groused. “Our job is to defend the US Constitution and kick ass— it’s right there in our Oath of Service, fer crying out loud. We don’t make good international hall monitors, and sometimes we literally can’t do the job right because it conflicts with our primary mandate. No, if you want global babysitters, you need a force that is specifically trained for peacekeeping and isn’t obligated on pain of court martial to put one country’s interests ahead of all others."

Summary
“Oh spirits,” Azula says, grinning widely. The Water Tribe is full of idiots. “You don’t want to marry Zuko, he’s useless. Also, he’s already engaged.”
“He is?” Yue blinks at her.
“Of course he is, he’s going to be the Fire Lord, he’s been engaged since he was twelve,” Azula says. A useless Fire Lord who she’s going to have to prop up, if not outright usurp, but Fire Lord all the same.
The things she does for this family, she swears.
