closer [vid] by Anonymous. Wonderful recap video of Ghostbusters with an emphasis on the friendships.
Afterlife by Anonymous. Makes you want to take this journey with The Good Place characters...or at least rewatch the whole series.
[VID] I Want You to Want Me by Anonymous. Lively and uplifting vid of Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing.
Still Life With Flerken by copperbadge. Wonderful speculation on the relevance of Goose to Nick Fury post-Captain Marvel.
Weighty and Troublesome Things by Skitz_phenom. "Post-canon AU / Canon AU from S2. It's been ten years since Arthur drifted away from him on the Lake of Avalon, but even inside Camelot's walls, Merlin is still lost. Hiding from those who know him and cut off from his former life in self-imposed exile, he can't resist the temptation when a mysterious stranger offers him the chance to set things right. Merlin returns to the past, to an innocent, simpler time, armed with the knowledge of Arthur's fate."

Time-travel is the ultimate fix-it format, but what is striking about this story is less what Merlin does as opposed to the cost he bears of doing so. The ending makes it clear that this is the focus of the story, and I love that it does not tie things up neatly.
