The last angel - training ship of a space empire finds a massive derelict warship and starts exploring it. There are no signs of remnants of the crew and some suspect that the ship is not dead.

All the little boys and girls - mercenary unit and corporate researchers are going after the trail of the vanished unit from the same outfit and research expedition from the same corporation, who supposedly found the fabled lost research station DROP 47. But some things are better left lost.

I have never actually read any of the original stuff on SB.
 
Embers by Vathara, it's a fascinating ATLA AU which deals a lot more heavily with the mature themes the cartoon lightly touched on but couldn't explore in depth - I definitely can't say it hasn't influenced my own writing.
 
On another forum someone recomended this fic and why not, I made an account to check it out, totally worth it.

I Caligula - while being a guest of his uncle Trajan on the island of Capri, Caligula's mind is merged with that of a modern day person with considerable knowledege of Roman history. He is determined not to be remembered by history as the mad emperor and to save his family, but first he needs to survive his uncle's hospitality.

Since it is in the NSFW section of the QQ, you need to make an account to read it.

Oh yeah, that one is really good.
 
Crossroads
A Harry Potter AU in which he's not the boy who lived (Neville is), his dad was supposedly a deatheater, and Harry himself is a prodigy at transfiguration and duelling. He's also a cheeky little bastard ("Professor Umbridge!" I greet, putting on my best smile. "Allow me to congratulate you for having grown horizontally since we last met."). Starts in Harry's 5th year.
 
This here is easily the best DC fanfic that I have found, It's called Less than Zero it deals with an OC character named Max who is a down on his luck recent orphan that finds his scientist parents super suit. One chance meeting with Selina Kyle and he goes head first into the world of capes and crooks to keep the bills paid.
 
Reign of the Fire Lady Dowager by SnakeStaff.

This is an AU of Avatar the Last Airbender where Ursa, the wife of Ozai, murders her husband and takes control of the Fire Nation as regent for her son Fire Lord Zuko. While she is a better person than her husband she is still a warmongering imperialist who buys into her country's propaganda. However she is far more practical and less cruel than her husband would have been, making the war more morally ambiguous to the point where many readers are rooting for a Fire Nation victory. Characters change appropriately considering the difference in circumstances, whether that be for the better like Azula or for the worse like Katara. While it drags a bit towards the end I still recommend it.

Still being updated as of this post.

Mistress of the Night by Xitsune

Another AU, this time of the Silmarillion, in which instead of Melkor falling to darkness Nienna the Valar becomes corrupted instead. While a fair amount of this story adheres to the stations of canon enough things still change to make it interesting. Nienna is facinating as a dark lord as she operates differently than Morgoth would have, being more focused on subterfuge and corruption and less on military might. As such she has differing forces compared to Morgoth, for instance orcs do not exist here but she has access to giant spiders as a result of a full alliance with Ungoliant. Also, certain characters who would have joined Morgoth stay loyal to the Valar here, such as Sauron, and some who would have stayed loyal serve Nienna, such as Gandalf. Melkor still exists and he is still a self-aggrandizing douche, albiet one who ultimatly means well. A fair warning, this is written in the style of the Silmarillion, so if you didn't enjoy that you won't enjoy this.

Sheperd of the Stars by joesteg.

A crossover between Mass Effect and Sword of the Stars. I know that SotS is a bit of an obscure title but no knowledge of it is needed to enjoy this story. In the story the factions from SotS encounter the ones from Mass Effect. This and its aftermath are presented as a series of short stories and in-universe codex entries. I know this plot sounds like a million subpar Mass Effect stories where the factions of insert-franchise-here dominate the Citidel Council and show how cool they are compared the Mass Effect races but this story is different. What I like most about this is that the Council is not protrayed as weak or stupid. Complacent to be sure, which ends up biting them, but not weak. And it is so very rare to see all sides portrayed fairly in a Mass Effect story.

Sadly this fic is dead. And it died right before all the really cool stuff was set to happen too.
