I did the book cover for a supervillain web series, The Tragedy of the Titanium Tyrant.

Someone's leading a sci-fi worldbuilding project called the Atmaverse. It is, so far as I understand, intended as hard scifi plus an FTL method. There is a significant focus on alien civilizations.

People who dislike isekais with slavery will perhaps like the John Brown Isekai.

I recommend a lot of Saphroneth's work. It's better-organized on AO3 but more up-to-date on SpaceBattles.

Comprehension Castle (Part 2) is a set of 'screenshots' from a fake game.

If you want to see someone's overpowered OC beat up everyone, Mitraka is fun. I have some complaints but I keep reading it.

The first several Starship's Mage books feel like the author was like "what if we had a bunch of cool stuff all in one setting? wouldn't that be super awesome?" and then committed pretty hard to it. (I haven't finished the series yet.)

1632 sends an entire town into the past. You can read the first book free.

The Wicked + The Divine is a finished comic series.

Chunks of Worm is a set of Worm snippets. (I haven't finished Worm, so take my Worm recommendations with a grain of salt.)

Of the Coming of the Star Warrior is a brief Kirby/Silmarillion crossover.

The Background Noise of Defiance is a cute Star Wars series.

Justice, Justice Shall You Pursue is an HP fic where the non-wizard government gets involved.

The Legend Of Zelda: Speedrun Of The Wild: What happens after speedrunner Link beats up Ganon in his underwear with improvised weapons?

Something to Fear / Someone to Fight: Steven Universe post-movie fic.

Wolf Incident Postmortem is a Boy who Cried Wolf epistolary fic.

Spinning Silver is a fairy tale inspired work in which lots of minor characters all have their own goals and take actions towards those goals. It feels very well-put-together and complete.

Karl K. Gallagher does some decent short stories.

Conditional Release is a fic in which the Valar take a different strategy with Melkor.

Empty Graves, the fic where Martha Kent keeps encountering time travelers.

Sherden Pact is someone's Khornite faction in Warhammer 40K which is focused on Effective Murder Maximization. This sermon may be a decent intro.

Constellations is a Worm/Ōkami crossover where Taylor gets a canine friend.
