Or: Clint is hit hard by a Disney movie, has angst, and gets really, really drunk. Now he keeps calling Natasha the wrong name. (Who's "Rachel" anyway?)

Summary
Spirits are dangerous, powerful, and unpredictable. That's why the Avatar acts a bridge between the worlds. That's why the barrier is respected. And why deals in Spirit Tales always, always go wrong. But the fools in Mother's tales were weak, and Father demands perfection. And the way to achieve perfection is to do it over until you get it right.
The Great Spirits rarely interfere. They are the laws of the world, the harmonizing balance that exists every day, in every place. So long as even the chance of the Avatar succeeding remains, they are content to watch. But a deal between a powerful bender and an ancient spirit is a threat to their harmony they cannot ignore.
But fate has aligned in their favor. Loopholes and old powers combined allow them to to give balance a chance. And while the dealmaker starts her second chance on the morning of the Winter Solstice, with the Avatar's help her opponent starts his in the evening.
Now Zuko just has to convince Uncle Iroh to believe him, the Gaang to trust him, and his crew that he’s not possessed so that he can help Aang save the World, the Fire Nation, and his sister from the consequences of her actions.

Summary
"He winced, then launched off into a tirade. "Okay, so like, we're soulmates, and so are you and, um, Margo, and, fuck, me and Margo, I guess, and i just, I mean, were you joking?" He glanced up, only for a moment.
Eliot tilted his head. "Joking?"
Quentin sighed. "That first day, about, like salves, and shit. Did you mean it?"
Oh, Eliot was so very, very fucked. Pretty nerd boys were his kink, but brave pretty nerd boys, just tie him up and call him baby already. He smiled, the face of a man usually so confident, now so far out of his own depth he could barely see land, and just nodded. Simple, easy. Quentin smiled, and oh, oh, oh fuck. Eliot was gone. And then they were kissing again, like it was the simplest, easiest thing to do."
Or
Eliot, Quentin, and Margo are all soulmates. They've all taken their own paths to here, in this bed, on this night, where everything is so blissfully simple, and no one has to fight to be loved.

Summary
Wooyoung peeked out of the doorway, clammy fingers and palms no doubt leaving imprints on the wood. The voices, distorted and unclear, belonging to many, were tingling in the back of his mind now.
When he peered down the hall, he saw San standing shirtless before the red obelisk, body tense in the flashing lightning crashes. He looked to be breathing heavily, muttering beneath his breath amidst the whispers that grew louder in Wooyoung’s skull.
Wooyoung watched in horror as San twitched, then sighed as long appendages emerged from his back.
Wooyoung gasped.

Summary
Clown is very good at keeping promises. Even if those promises probably (definitely) want him dead.
“Shh.” Clown stays still, willing himself not to move, to breathe, to think. “They’re listening.” He wants to scream, be quiet, be quiet, but he’s frozen.
Shift. Rattle. Something walks past their hiding place. Something that drags its extra limbs behind it with ugly scraping sounds. Clown feels drowned in the sounds of its harsh breath.
This is something that would kill him without a thought. He should be scared.
He’s not.
Clown wants to kill it right back.

Summary
Only the war could have brought Hollywood star Jyn Erso and soldier Captain Cassian Andor together. A chance meeting at the Hollywood Canteen in 1943 blossomed into something more. But years of war and its horrors shatter everything, and not every shard can be recovered.
This fic was inspired by "Frankly, My Dear Captain Andor" by randomdreamer01 and I highly suggest you read it. This is my attempt at continuing that story, because it left some interesting possibilities. I've also heavily referenced music of the 1940s throughout this fic.

Summary
Faelen is the Dovahkiin, and it came as an utter system shock, given that he was probably the least impressive Dragonborn in a long line of powerful ones. Barely hanging on, and running wild through Skyrim, he manages to accomplish some fantastic feats, all the while growing closer with his companion, Ghorbash, an older, stoic, but altogether surprisingly gentle soul underneath it all. But Ghorbash isn't the only man with his sights set on the Dovahkiin...
(I'm terrible at summaries but this is a definite slow-burn, very lore friendly, and it's also very polyamorous and the conflict does not come from straight up jealousy)

Summary
“Stop thinking about your dead prince charming, instead think about going back to work. Not to act like your mom, but you’ve been a shut-in for already a month.”
You would have imagined a similar thing to be said with apprehension for him, but that man had said it with disarming nonchalance. He walked around his kitchen, poured himself a generous amount of coffee and buttered a slice of bread, lecturing him about the death of the person he loved as if he was telling him the grocery list. -
