Still not long enough
Works that are (preferably much) longer than 50k words—and leave the reader wanting for at least double that much again.
The writing is at least good, and often excellent. Sci-fi, fantasy or supernatural elements notwithstanding, the characters and situations are so very human. The plots are often complex, and deftly handled.
Fandoms range from extremely popular to obscure.
A series is considered a work as a whole; occasionally a single work is under the word count, but the series collectively exceeds it.

General Note
========*Works vs. Bookmarks*
Since it is possible for collection owners to hide works, which then hides the work entirely everywhere, some authors choose not to approve the addition of their works to collections directly, only as bookmarks.To ensure that the reader will not have to try to reconcile works in the Bookmarks tab vs. those in the Works tab, I will aim to include all the works in the Bookmarks tab.
Where allowed, I will still add works to the Works tab as well, as this enables others to find this Collection when reading a work they enjoy, allowing them to find other works that might similarly satisfy.

Summary
Someone has to teach Jim Kirk how to take care of himself, ‘cause he sure as hell isn’t picking it up on his own.
Snippet:
“You don’t have an epichip, and you’re allergic to,” McCoy’s eyes go back to the screen, “a zillion things? How are you even still alive?”Jim blinked a few times, and muttered something under his breath.
McCoy scowled. “I could be wrong, but it almost sounded like you said ‘liberated medical supplies.'”

Summary
Twenty years ago, the Warlord of the North came down out of the mountains and slew the king of Kaedwen, taking crown and kingdom for his own. Everyone expected him to be overthrown almost immediately, but he has only grown ever more secure in his position. Finally, the other countries around Kaedwen have begun to negotiate with him as they would any other king.
To seal the new treaty between Redania and the Warlord, Lady Milena de Roggeven, third daughter of the Duke of Roggeven, has been sent to marry whichever of the Warlord’s men he chooses.
Milena is starkly terrified of everything about her new husband; every rumor she has ever heard about the barbarians of the north seems worse than the last, and Lambert clearly despises the very thought of marriage.
Lambert of the Wolves is still grieving his lost lover, dead more than three years now. The last thing he wants is to be married off to a terrified stranger, and he can’t imagine why Geralt and Eskel think he of all people is suited to a diplomatic marriage.
And neither of them suspects the treachery that lies behind the treaty which binds them together.

Summary
“How did you get past the wards?” Derek had put them up, with Peter’s grudging assistance, after the Alpha pack had made themselves at home a few times too many.
The guy pulled a face. “You mean the wards a five-year-old girl with the mental ability of a goldfish could deconstruct?” He blinked wide eyes at Derek. “Gee, I don’t know. It’s bound to go down as one of life’s great mysteries.”
Derek despised him.

Summary
Jason Todd is seriously injured during patrol one night, and is forced to stay at the manor to recuperate until his injuries are healed. To pass the time, he makes a list of things he never got to do before he died.
Except there's one small problem: most of them involve Bruce, and Jason doesn't really think Bruce cares all that much about him anymore.This is a story about how wrong he is, but I made it sad anyway.

Summary
While trying to take down a drug cartel that deals with memory altering drugs, things go awry, and Batman wakes up with no recollection of the last five years.
As a result, his family must now race against time to find the antidote, while also having to deal with a Bruce who still thinks Jason is Robin. A Bruce who doesn't recognise most of them. A Bruce far less jaded and cynical than the one they're used to. A Bruce who still cares.
