Summary
One year after the first plague wave nearly destroyed Ba Sing Se, the city begins to breathe again. The bells slow. The death carts lighten. Survivors cautiously reopen markets and homes while Khione, Katara, Sokka, Aang, Toph, and the Dai Li continue patrols beneath the shadow of lingering infection.
But the peace is temporary.
When coughing returns to Stoneflower Market, Khione realizes the plague has evolved. The second wave spreads not through explosive collapse, but through breath, contact, and routine. Pneumonic plague moves quietly through reopened streets, delivery routes, crowded homes, and hidden carriers. The city does not fall into chaos this time. Instead, Ba Sing Se enters a long war of detection, isolation, and endurance. As months pass, the plague doctors become a permanent part of the city. The Dai Li transform from secret police into containment wardens. Sokka builds tracking systems. Katara learns to heal within impossible limits. And Khione becomes known across the city as its doctor.
By the end of the year, the plague has not vanished. But Ba Sing Se has learned how to survive it.

Summary
In a world where Formula 1 belongs to the old guard—the factories, the fortunes, the families who've been racing for generations—Aldecaldo Racing shouldn't exist. A privateer team clawed out of the Arizona desert by a woman who refused to let her uncle's dream die, they have nothing: no budget, no sponsors, no reputation. What they have is a broken car, three mechanics who work for free, and a belief that speed doesn't belong to the people with the most money.
Then V gets behind the wheel.
Posting in sync with the F1 calendar. Next chapter: Belgium GP - Jul 17-19

Summary
"He's just like-"
“Like you were, when you first came here?” Xavier’s gaze was far too piercing. It sliced Logan to the bone, and he could feel his skin prickle where phantom blades cut through it.
“Exactly,” Logan growled, refusing to let Xavier see just how much that bothered him. “That’s why the kid’s dangerous.”
“That’s why he needs help,” Xavier pressed gently, as if he was chiding Logan for his hostility. “And that is why you are the best equipped to help him.”
__________________________
In which Logan accidentally volunteers to help babysit the latest addition to the Xavier Institute, a strange new student that was quite literally left on their doorstep. However, this student isn't quite a "student" at all; it is a weapon left without a handler. Unfortunately, the new mutant now thinks Logan is his handler. Even more unfortunately, Logan knows more about this situation than he would like to.AKA an AU that embellishes on the fact that Kurt was being used as a weapon by Stryker at the beginning of X2, turning the situation into a recovery scenario that ends up helping both Kurt and Logan overcome their Weapon X conditioning.

Summary
A thousand years ago, the sea grew angry. It rose and swallowed all that it touched beneath furious waves, smothering the entire planet. A handful of survivors fled to the tallest peak in the world in order to flee the rising tides. They were guided by a long lost prophet and witnessed as Mother Gaiya gave the people of the land one final gift, the Everscape. The Everscape was the name the survivors gave to the floating planetoid upon which the Goddesses’ children could survive the flood. After a millennium has passed, the residents of the Everscape have begun to tentatively explore the endless seas.
In this strange world, a group of adventurers, salvagers and knights must band together to undertake a grand voyage beyond the edge of the map in an effort to uncover an ancient conspiracy. From sea monsters to ancient curses to their own complete inability to work together, the crew of the Archelon will have to overcome many obstacles if they want to discover the truth sunken deep beneath the dark waters.
Writeup of a d&d game I'm currently running and enjoyed so much I thought I'd transcribe it here for players and the public.
