Summary
What should have been a simple night at an auction house - pick up anything too dangerous to be left lying around, watch a bunch of humans argue over fake occult items and then return to the bookstore with Aziraphale for copious amounts of alcohol - goes terribly wrong when Crowley discovers the auction house owner, Mallory, is hiding something far more dangerous in his vault than he was letting on.
An Ethereal something to be exact.
Which leaves Crowley to wonder - how exactly did he not realise Aziraphale was missing?

Summary
"And it is told of Maglor that he could not endure the pain with which the Silmaril tormented him..."
The Silmaril did not burn Maglor, as one had burned Maedhros. But that did not mean he was free of the burden it set upon him, nor the pain of so many past misdeeds.
A short introspective What-If piece.

Summary
There are two times when absolute stillness is required, his mother had told him as a small dwarfling. The first is when someone upsets a horde of angry Elves and hiding is the best option...The second is when you find yourself nose to nose with a very large dragon and you do not wish to find yourself eaten...
Gimli, son of Glóin, displeased with his first solo adventure to the Iron Hills, sets off on a different far more ambitious task: to bring back a supply of the much-prized obsidian, also known as Dragonglass from the Withered Heath. But the Grey Mountains are forbidden for a reason, and Gimli quickly finds himself trapped in the nest of a young dragon with whom he must forge a tentative alliance if he ever wishes to escape.

(From here on out, Gimli will pay for their ale, thank you)

Summary
Without meaning to, Obi-Wan Kenobi slips across worlds into a universe where Obi-Wan is not a failed Jedi and small-time private investigator but a proper Jedi Master and diplomat and High General. A universe where the Clone Wars rage on and Sidious reigns at the head of the Republic, slowly weaving an invisible trap to eradicate the Jedi and the rest of the galaxy with it.
Obi-Wan is not a hero--not even really a good man--but he can't sit idly by when innocent lives hang in the balance. Even in a universe that isn't his, even for a family that doesn't know him, he will dive into the heart of the Republic Army to unearth the truth and save them all--even if it means facing down the Master Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi himself.

Summary
Twenty-two years ago on Melida/Daan, Obi-Wan left the Jedi Order to fight in a war. He never returned to the Temple.
Now, a few months into the Clone Wars, a Jedi Knight shows up in Obi-Wan's office in Coruscant's undercity, looking for help with a blackmail problem. Blackmail would be simple enough, but this--as with all things involving the Jedi--has something much bigger behind it. Trouble might be Obi-Wan's business, but this is a little above his pay grade.
