    Summary

    "I'll ask once. Where's Rumi?" Mira practically spat out the question, grip tightening on her gok-do.

    She was looking at Rumi's shoulder. The leader followed her gaze, and her whole world flipped on its head.

    Her patterns were out.

    OR

    Rumi actually manages to kill Jinu in the bathhouse. Shame he already ripped her costume...

    Summary

    Six years ago, Lucerys and Aemond blew up their families and the kingdom when they suddenly eloped to Driftmark and took themselves out of the battle for the throne. No one knows how or why they got together, but their marriage is valid, and their refusal is firm. But now the years of estrangement are about to come to an end when they are summoned back to court to once more pick sides in the ongoing battle for the crown. Unfortunately for their families, though, the side they pick is not the one anyone was expecting.

    Tldr: Luke and Aemond are reborn and decide to live their lives for themselves this time around. Neither their families nor the realm is prepared for the consequences of this decision.

    Summary

    Kim Soleum, barely qualifying as an omega due to his nonexistent pheromones, lives his life blissfully unaware of his own biology.

    Baek Saheon, despite being an alpha, paid little attention to his endotype, believing he had non-dominant genes responsible for his weak sense, and that had never troubled him before.

    Until they meet each other— and their scent clashes.

    Or Kim Soleum’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, when his own second gender decided to betray him.

    Summary

    But it’s true. David Hollander is normal about hockey. He has a life outside it. He goes to work at the Treasury. He goes on long walks. He volunteers at animal shelters. He puzzles. Well—he works on puzzles? Ilya still is not sure how the verbs work there.

    The point is: David Hollander built a life outside of hockey that was fulfilling—that remains fulfilling. This, in its roundabout way, and though Ilya could never admit it, saves Ilya’s life.

    Summary

    “If you don't mind getting your hands dirty," Ada says. “I can help you fight for the greater good, and you can help me get my hands on… slightly lesser goods. How’s that for a mutually beneficial arrangement?”

    That does make him chuckle, despite himself. “Ada Wong, fighting for the greater good? I stand corrected. You really have changed.”

    Or: Two years after going their separate ways in Spain, common goals bring Leon and Ada back together for an unlikely partnership that might lead to... something more.

    Summary

    This is a complete Muichiro centric series exploring a part of him which is often left unseen. The fact that he is just a child beneath that label of a "Hashira."

    It is going to include character study, is going to emotionally heavy at certain times and a little humour and fluff.

    Summary

    He’s at Dodger Stadium, flat on the ground, looking up at his assailant. Hard concrete and nacho chips dig into his back. Blood pools in his mouth. He wonders if he could roll himself under the seats - similar to how Buck rolled himself underneath a firetruck all those years ago to save him, except Eddie can only save himself now -

    At least the kids are safe.

    She promised.

    “Where is she?!” the guy screams, pointing the gun at Eddie.

    Fucking Taylor Kelly is going to be the death of him.

    *

    Or - Eddie takes Chris and Theo to a Dodgers game. He doesn’t know what’s worse. The fact that he’s seated in the same section as Buck’s ex-girlfriend and Buck’s current boyfriend, or the fact that they’re all going to have fight for their lives soon.

    Summary

    Had she seen? What kind of question was this? Of course she had. Even if it didn't feature her Ilyusha, him and his Jane, there was no single hockey fan in North America who hadn't seen it. She and half the planet had seen.
    [...]
    "Did you know?"
    And that was the question, wasn't it? She swallowed, refusing to let her calm exterior break. Not now.
    Because that was the crux. She hadn’t.

    After the video of Shane and Ilya gets leaked, Svetlana gets a call from her father.
    Canon compliant character study except I made her aromantic.

    Summary

    Zanka falls where time shouldn’t exist.

    An alley of rot. A body gone cold.
    A child with wine-colored eyes that haven’t learned how to hurt properly yet.

    He knows what that child will become.

    He’s held the aftermath.
    Faced the noise.
    Felt the damage.

    But this—

    This is before all of it.

    And when the boy clings to him, crying like the world already ended, Zanka realizes something he was never meant to:

    Some things aren’t born broken.

    They’re made.

    And he’s standing at the beginning.

    Summary

    It’s like they’re in a fucked up game of relationship chicken now, increasingly doing things together that Shane can’t describe as anything other than domestic and romantic and boyfriend-like. They text constantly, detailing their days and sharing everything from complaints about teammates to jokes about other players in the league to the kind of quiet worries about family that don’t need to be responded to, just heard by another person.

    Or maybe it’s like Schroedinger’s cat. As long as Shane doesn’t ask, doesn’t speak out loud, he can have this. It can exist, and it cannot exist at the same time as long as Shane doesn’t press too hard. Doesn’t want too much.

    It feels increasingly like agony now that he’s realized that he loves Ilya.

    ...

    Tunameltdown AU where Ilya makes him tuna melts and says his name and Shane doesn’t freak out and run away. Well, he does freak out, but he also stays. Or the one where Shane doesn’t realize that Ilya’s his boyfriend for a solid three months.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a man who thrives on structure, routine, the solid ground of a ten-year plan. Ilya likes that about him, likes the embracing squeeze of having a life organized in tandem with Shane.

    No one would call Ilya a man who thrives on structure. But it’s there, if not in his DNA then in the patterns of his brain. A call-and-response of: they do this, I do that.

    When Ilya’s life is flayed open for the world to dissect, how will they push-and-pull their way back towards what was once a well-organized life?


    “I thought we could go through the schedules and figure out what days we’ll be in the same cities this season, or when either of us have a couple of days off in a row. Maybe make a shared calendar, so we c—”

    “A sex calendar? Your parents are arriving in thirty minutes, and you are proposing making a sex calendar?” Oh, this was delicious. He’d be able to eat out on this for years, if Shane was willing to give him that long.

    “It’s not a sex calendar! It’s just … when we might be able to see each other,” he finished, already sounding defeated.

    “And what are you planning on doing when we are seeing each other? Not fucking?”

    Summary

    "Sometimes what you want isn’t good for you, but you still need it to feel alive. And sometimes what you swear you don’t need is what brings you back from the edge of the cliff, and you don’t want to lose that feeling. Sure, it can never be normal. Still, they’re not normal, so maybe it’s ok."

    In the almost immediate aftermath of Spain, Leon can't move on and fate has a funny way of messing with his peace.

    Or, in which Leon and Ada decide they don’t want to go their separate ways.

    Summary

    “Gentlemen. Ma'am,” he greets. Eddie looks over the man's shoulder to see Buck unfold the letter, his face falling deeper into despair the further down the page he gets. “I am Lieutenant James Francis of the United States Navy SEALs. I have already spoken to your Chief, but I wanted to come here personally to explain the situation. As of this morning, Evan Buckley has been officially reinstated for active duty.”

    OR

    Things after the lawsuit haven't been easy. What happens when Buck gets called away for deployment before anyone has a chance to say goodbye? What happens when they realize they're the ones who owe Buck an apology? Now, they may never get the chance.

    "Any word from Egg?" Daeron asked.

    The last they had heard, Egg was in Dorne with his hedge knight, and Dorne had since closed its borders. Reason suggested that the boy was as safe as he could be. Safer than the rest of the family. But Daeron was no man of reason. He was a man tormented by dreams that foretold the death of all his family over and over and over again. A madman, some might say.

    "No, from King’s Landing," Maekar said.

    The Great Spring Sickness is devastating the realm. News arrives at Summerhall.

    Summary

    It’s been nearly 27 years since Eva Stratt forced Ryland Grace to board the Hail Mary and sent him off to his death for the greater good of mankind. Meanwhile, Eva and the Project Hail Mary team have been fighting a losing battle against the cooling sun—and their own demons—trying to make sure there were still people to be saved by the time the crew could send a solution home. Right on schedule, the beetles are returning to Earth, hopefully with the answer to saving the world. But Eva has something else to worry about; there’s every possibility Ryland Grace’s last words would be coming home, and all the time in the world couldn’t make her ready to face the consequences of her actions, or what will happen when her colleagues find out what she did to their friend.
    It was time to find out if it was worth it for her to sacrifice Grace, and her soul, to save humanity. And to find out if she was ready to face him after all these years…
