Summary
There’s more to peace than the absence of war. The work is as hard and uncertain as any Shinobi mission.

Summary
Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.
Even the Dragon-King's temple floods.

The Stone Gryphon by rthstewart, Syrena_of_the_lake

Summary
The Stone Gryphon is a sprawling Spare Oom story of war, espionage, immoral acts done in service of moral ends, natural history, dinosaurs, Alice in Wonderland, cunning corvids, tequila, D-Day, theology, spirituality, love and sex. If the Dawn Treader can be on the wall of a spare bedroom in Impington, Narnia can be found in other places, too. The Friends of Narnia just have to learn where to look. And upon returning from Narnia, the Pevensies probably didn't just sit around waiting to die in a fiery train wreck.
"No, no! The adventures first," said the Gryphon in an impatient tone: "explanations take such a dreadful time."
L. Carroll, The Adventures of Alice In Wonderland"Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."
Francis of Assisi"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Summary
This is a rationalist and effective altruist take on the Last Herald-Mage trilogy, inspired by HPMOR, r!Animorphs: The Reckoning, and other works. From a starting point of "what if the characters were trying to be reasonable?" and "what if Leareth was a human being with real, complex motivations, rather than a cartoon villain?" I am seeing where it goes.
Meta note: this fic is accessible regardless of whether you’ve read canon. It starts out a little slow, and book 1 is kind of a different genre from book 2 onward. Additional warning that book 2 onward gets pretty dark and this doesn't really let up. There will be 11 volumes.
Major themes include the complexity of thinking about ethics, the challenge of taking on problems in the world that seem insurmountable, and trying to do good while dealing with serious mental health issues. The characters do not start out masters of rationality, but they do learn from their mistakes and grow as people, and do their best to help support each other.

Summary
Anybody ever tell you that their city sucks?
I get it, nobody likes bad public transport, shitty roads and sidewalks, and the homeless wandering around made the rich and affluent irrationally angry, my city though? It wins a fucking award for being at the top of the shit scale. We have Nazi! Like literal Nazi! I can go out at night and expect to see Nazi’s, it's so fucked up here. There is also the drug problem, the forced prostitution problem and the snake in the basement, but like, literal Nazi’s that nobody is doing anything about.
Well, for the most part.
