I'm honestly surprised there's no CK2 mods for Conan the Barbarian, Elric of Melnibone, Wheel of Time, Dragonriders of Pern, Sword of Shannara, or Discworld, given how popular and influential they are in the fantasy genre.

I'm also surprised there's no straight-up King Arthur mod for CK2; Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain would probably be the best source material for an Arthurian mod, given its detailed history and genealogy.

S.M. Stirling's Emberverse books are fairly niche (but then again, "post-apocalyptic neo-medieval fantasy" is already a niche genre), but have a really CK2-ish flavor to them.

While Priory of the Orange Tree is technically set in a world that is more EU4 than CK2, I figured it'd work better as a CK2 mod (especially since EU4 doesn't really have Enatic Succession like CK2 does).

Tortall Universe, Xanth, Myth Adventures, and the works of Sarah J. Maas were thrown in as "why not?" ideas.

As for the "not-so-honorable mention", I was seriously debating whether or not to include it (because of the "the author's un-disguised fetish, the author's politics, the author's masculine power fantasy" worldbuilding), but I figured some CK2 players would want to play such a mod anyway (if only to indulge in ShitCrusaderKingsSay type activities), so I included it as a "not-so-honorable mention". If nobody likes this idea, I can replace it with A Practical Guide To Evil in an updated version of this meme.

Last year, I saw Amazing Dinoworld 2 on CuriosityStream, and one of the episodes discussed how long the non-Avian Dinosaurs could have survived after the impact, up to and including showing a scene of a Hadrosaur as the only large animal in a Danian-age jungle.

Ever since then I've been fascinated with the idea of a relatively "milder" Chicxulub impact that, rather than creating a single year(s)-long impact winter that caused the Dinosaurs to starve to death by killing all the plant life ("the plants all died, then the herbivores all died, then the carnivores all died"), would have instead left enough survivors for the non-avian Dinosaurs (and Pterosaurs, Mosasaurs, Plesiosaurs, Ammonites, etc.) to become a Dead Clade Walking for up to a million years post-impact; the apex predators and the largest/rarest herbivores would have suffered so many casualties in the initial event that they'd suffer a severe genetic bottleneck and basically inbreed themselves to death (not unlike what happened to the Wrangel Island Mammoths millions of years later), while smaller animals would be gradually replaced by mammals, sharks, and other 'modern' animals working their way up the food chain and/or gradually die off during the long-term climate instability resulting from the impact.

(BTW, yes, I got the image on the right from THAT scene, because THAT scene is exactly what I'd expect a Werewolf Alpha to do in that situation.)
