Ocean Stars Falling (Naruto SI/One Piece) has updated after a couple years hiatus
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12418477/21...rs-Falling
the last old chapter (linked) has been modified, as well as a new one added.
And may I say that the new chapter of Cross Purposes has a moment that I approve of and heartily endorse.
Gee, I wonder what that moment could be...
Bob, you need to get to LA and start wrangling!

Stitches in Time (the Doctor Who/slightly modified As N Approaches Infinity crossover) continues, as Kisuke upgrades his phone, Nemu receives a text, and Sayaka conveys other information to Hitomi, in a chapter that could only be called Unfulfilling Prophecies:

Summary Wrote:After his name came out of the Goblet of Fire, Harry woke to a disturbing reality. The wizarding world only saw him as an expendable pawn, his carefree attitude towards studying left him struggling to survive, and he had never truly appreciated the one, constant companion at his side—Hermione Granger. It was high time for change.

Hey, kids! What time is it?

From Aesir To Yggdrasil: A Norse Primer Wrote:Weregild: Archaic term for a fine made as legal reparations for an unlawful death at the hands of an offending party to their victim's family or clan.  The precise value of the payment was based on the legal and social standing of the victim, with no division set between murder and manslaughter.  A freeman was generally used as the base payment amount, with 200 shillings being the value assigned in 8th century Anglo-Saxon law, and this amount then modified appropriately according to the local mores—for example, among the Alamanni, the weregeld for women was twice that of an equal-status man, while among the Saxons, it was half.  An envoy from Charlemagne was worth three times his normal value if killed while in active service to the king, and a priest was worth an extra hundred shillings if he was killed during the reading of Mass—presumably, both of these circumstances occurred enough to warrant the variance in the legal codes.

While these payments seem to be preposterous to a more modern outlook, it is important to note that, in their era, which lacked centralized law enforcement and more modern legal punishments, weregilds functioned as a system that allowed for deescalation of tensions, as opposed to the other option for restitution that was available: the victim's family going out and killing the killer, which would spark a cycle of revenge that would spiral into vendettas and feuds. 

That's right, it's A Thing of Vikings time! Fishwings arrives in Vedrarfjord with deliveries of varying degrees of specialness, and Cami arrives on Berk for the run-up to her wedding. In Constantinople, Sigurd and Sophie get to steal a moment. Back on Berk, Toiréasa makes plans, then gets caught up in Heather's plans. Returning to Constantinople, Igna gets some information from, and about, Gudmund. And on Berk once more, Wulfhild has a reunion with her brother; Stoick receives the Glenfinnan weregild from Dagur; and, finally, Cami becomes part of Heather's plan to collect a price of her own from the deranged one...

Also, I regret to put before you that, for what I consider good and sufficient reasons, this fic has been removed from the Pit of Voles.
