In your arms I shall not fear the night by Swimmer963
Fandoms: Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey

Summary
This is a rationalfic take on "The Last Herald-Mage", inspired by HPMOR and other works. Accessible regardless of whether you've read the original series. Though far from perfect, the characters are trying to do their best with the information, intelligence, and skills they have. Unfortunately, their enemies are also doing that, and sometimes even reasonable decisions can turn out badly.
[Meta note: this starts out a bit slow, and book 1 is kind of a different genre from the rest. In particular, the rationalist content is fairly subtle at the start, and the effective altruism themes come out a lot more towards the end of book 2 and early book 3. If you’re moderately enjoying book 1 but a little bored, try sticking it out until the end of book 2.]
Ashamed of him, Vanyel's father sends his disappointing son to live with his strict aunt, the Herald-Mage Savil. Although he knows things will change, Vanyel dramatically underestimates just how different his life is about to become. Sparks fly as he discovers both love and magic.

Summary
Tylendel doesn’t offer last chance to turn back, even in his thoughts. He’s fairly sure that if he did, Vanyel would turn around right here and head straight back to Haven.
Vanyel groans and rubs at his face. “We’re nearly there now. Are you ready to face the Ashkevron hordes?”
“With you beside me?” Tylendel says. “I can face anything.”

Summary
Home is where the heart(s) is (are), but what about when you no longer know where you fit in to the story?
Feeling rather out of place once he gets back to his own Universe, the Master has to figure out just who he is now, while also being the only person aware of both the Doctor's slowly collapsing Timeline, and Death's dissapearance.
Note: The author of this is no longer interested in the Harry Potter fandom, however they will continue to update this until it is finished, this may take a few years, however, as it depends on when they have the inspiration to write it.

Summary
"So let me get this straight," Roy leaned back in his chair as if the physical toll of processing this information was too much. "You were thirteen yesterday, but you fused with your future self and now look eighteen, the military is full of monsters, we need to kill the Fuhrer to save the country, and you've apparently time-traveled to tell us all this."
Edward grimaced. "I didn't time-travel on purpose, and I'm fucking twenty-eight, you bastard."
Roy cracked the smallest smile at the retort, and the expression shot an arrow straight through Edward's chest. Shit. He didn't know it was possible, but his heart was breaking more and more each time Roy looked his way.
"I see your fond nickname for me hasn't changed over the years." He chuckled.
Edward felt something inside him break. The realization barely hit him at that moment; Edward was completely and unequivocally *still* in love with this man.
Fuck.(AKA time travel fic where Roy and Ed DID end up together originally, but it didn't work out so well. Edward is hurting, Roy is trying, and both are trying to not make the same mistakes-- though it's an extra challenge considering Edward won't tell anyone what even happened in the future--)
