Summary
Geralt thought he was just doing another ordinary job - find the vampire and slay it, simple as that. But fate had other plans for him. Suddenly, a portal opens up, and he is transported to a whole new world filled with danger, politics, and dark magic. Now, Geralt must navigate through a land of treacherous court intrigues and sinister prophecies, using all of his skills as a Witcher to survive. Little does he know that this land of dormant sorceries is more dangerous than its inhabitants realize. The kinds of dangers only a professional like him can deal with.
Set after the main Witcher 3 story and the first DLC, Hearts of Stone. Pre-Tourney of Harrenhal.

Summary
Badly injured in the battle at Ashford, Robert Baratheon is forced to marry Cersei Lannister at Casterly Rock to secure the allegiance, and forces, of the Westerlands during the early stages of the rebellion, against the Targaryen rule. The ensuing pregnancy, and birth, of Harian Baratheon, will forever change the history of Westeros.
In another reality, Harry James Potter takes matters into his own hands. Desperately lonely and fed up of a broken, post-war world, he completes a sacrificial ritual to send him to a new world. His interference changes the direction of Westeros, and its fate, as the dark night closes in and yet another war threatens. His presence in Westeros will change history...and the people around him as he once again stands up as a hero to the world.
A life lived twice, for better or for worse, it matters not, for the price of cheating death is always a high price to pay.

Summary
I saw a post on tumblr suggesting a crossover where Murderbot meets Sam Vimes, and I couldn't not write it. Behold:
Murderbot, randomly pulled into the metropolis of Ankh-Morpork, must figure out how it got here, how to get home, and what the fuck is going on in general. Meanwhile, Sam Vimes of the city guard is hot on the trail of a suspicious-looking case at Unseen University—or at least he would be if he didn't have the baby at home to worry about...
I love TMB and Discworld so much, so I tried to make this as newbie-friendly as possible. If you're coming for the Discworld, the Murderbot stuff is supposed to be as understandable as possible, and if you don't know Discworld at all but love Murderbot, hopefully it still makes sense.
This is set after Exit Strategy but vaguely before Fugitive Telemetry; on the Discworld side, it's somewhere in between Night Watch and Going Postal.

Summary
Shen Qingqiu gets to participate in a Special Event in Medieval Knight Land! He’s assigned The Kingslayer as his personal bodyguard, takes needlework lessons and waits for his husband to come pick him up.
This certainly won't affect anyone in particular.(Or: If no one in King’s Landing is going to bro-down with Jamie Lannister, External Players would have to be introduced.)

Summary
A man wakes up in a frozen hut south of the Wall with no memory, no name, and a status screen. He dies of hypothermia three times before he figures out how to keep a fire going.
No noble birth. No convenient canon insertion point. Just a villager in the Gift in 288 AC, with a leveling system, an autosave that rewinds time when he dies, and the growing suspicion that he's not the first person the system has chosen.
Gamer AU. OC SI. Slow-burn progression fantasy. Canon divergence.

Summary
“I’m sorry…” Ivy begins. “I thought I just heard you say your name is Barbie, which can’t possibly be right, because that would be dumb as shit.”
“Now who’s being mean?” Barbie says, crossing her arms petulantly.
———————————————
Barbie is Harley; Harley is Barbie. Poison Ivy has a bone to pick with both of them. (Look, this is Margot Robbie’s fault for being a ridiculously compelling actor; I don’t make the rules.*)
*Except a whole bunch of metafictional rules I am making up for this fic as I go along
