Summary
A recently-divorced Jaina Proudmoore is taking a break from overseeing the renovation of her soon-to-be-opened bookstore. A convenient time to finally introduce herself to the owner of the art studio across the street. She's watched her through the storefront windows more than she cares to admit, because how could she not? There wasn't really anything else to do in this town, after all.
That introduction, as inconsequential as Jaina intended for it to be, sets both their lives on a course that feels too perfect for either of them to believe. But Sylvanas has a secret. Sylvanas has so many secrets. Skeletons in her closet that haunt her even now. Even as far away as she's run.

Summary
“I’m not very good company, Lady Proudmoore,” Sylvanas said, though Jaina’s wandering eyes weren’t at all lost on her. She just didn’t know what to make of them. “I’m afraid my good company days have long past.”
“As have mine,” Jaina said with a sad smile and a shake of her head as she looked away from Sylvanas’s searching eyes. “You really should stop calling me that, you know. We are married, after all.”

Summary
Gideon managed to escape the Ninth House when she was fifteen years old. Chance dropped her on the Third House, where she's managed to make a decent - if not entirely legal - living for herself as a hired gun. The past is the past, until it isn't, and an unprecedented act of diplomacy threatens to pull it closer than ever.
Canon Divergence where one thing happened differently. Okay, maybe two.

Sergeant Nav by TanglesTLT

Summary
Sgt Nav’s soul was all that remained of her when Lt Nonagesimus arrived at the cratered remains of a Blood of Eden stronghold. She can’t remember the moment she bonded the soul to her own, much less what in the Nine Houses would ever compel her to do such a thing for that abrasive cuckoo of a Sergeant. Reverse-engineering the theorems will take all her skill and brilliance, but being stuck sharing her body with Gideon Nav is upending her comfortable Cohort life full of ritual and structure.

Summary
Quel'Thalas drove back Arthas once, but not without dire consequence. Sylvanas is a stark reminder of that, as much as the general elven population and her family try to pretend otherwise. Stifled in a crowded houshold, amongst a family she struggles to feel a part of, Sylvanas finds respite in restoring an old, decomissioned ranger waystation out in the wilderness of Eversong Forest. Hoping the project will provide her with some semblance of purpose- and perhaps the solitude and tranquility to begin working through her trauma- her wishful thinking is short lived when she discovers that the property comes with a very unwelcome stray.

Summary
Vol'jin lived. Varian lived. Everyone lived. And still, Sylvanas suffers. And still, she can't return to the comfort and familiarity of the Undercity. No, all her selfless heroism on the Broken Shore has earned her is more time in the spotlight that she never asked for, a position at the head of the interim Horde council in response to the Burning Legion's invasion and, worst of all, an indefinite two-way ticket to Dalaran where she will come up against her most fearsome adversary yet.
Okay, that might be a bit dramatic. But still. Jaina Proudmoore is hardly agreeable.

The Daring And Wondrous Space Adventures of Gideon Nav by pipistrelle

Summary
Space is big and colorful and exciting and Gideon Nav, of the boring ice-pit mining colony on Berel IX, wants to join Starfleet and see all of it.
Instead she picks up a weird, mean, unhealthily bone-obsessed passenger and gets sucked into a millenium-old religious conflict (like you do). Turns out roaming the universe kicking ass and getting babes isn't as simple as it looks in the holos.
(TNG-era Star Trek universe crossover.)
