    Summary

    "Get back out there,” says Padmé, pressing a button on her headset and calling for five minutes. “Use the break to tell your man to shape up.”

    Satine, already striding back toward the tent, throws a wicked look over her shoulder. “All I’m ever trying to do is shape him up, Paz.”

    Summary

    “It's my birthday, Alex.”

    “I know that, James. The meal I cooked for you and the wake-up sex we gave you this morning made that pretty obvious. But Pato won’t tell me what dessert is,” Alex complained as they made their way from the proper dining room and back to the kitchen itself where Pato had already headed.

    “And your meal was very lovely, babe. That chicken marsala rivals anything I have had recently. Pato got the dessert around this afternoon when you went to work-out. But it still needs to be plated.”

    “Umm, do you want me to serve you? I can, I guess. You just have to tell me what I am getting.”

    “You're my plate. Dessert is on you tonight.”

    “I'm your what?”

    Summary

    A slow-burn, emotionally layered dark fantasy set in a bioluminescent mire, haunted by the choices of a fallen empire. A land so tangled by rumors, its very name spoken like fable: Kymera.

    Spiders crawl through the in-between, slipping through the cracks of reality. Grass hums your name before pulling you beneath the mud, muffled screams to never be heard. And somewhere between it all, the specter of a pale-beastman haunting the woods, wielding nature as blades. The land made mythical, horrific in its beauty.

    Cael runs from his past, pursued by hands that would see him caged and sold. Straight into Kymera, and into the domain of a reclusive fox mage who clearly didn’t ask for this, nor the trouble that followed.

    There’s no grand prophecy. No chosen one. Just a mage, his apprentice, and a world that would consume them both without blinking.

    Summary

    “Come on Vander! I’m sure it’s not far from here.”

    “You said that half an hour ago Felicia!” Huffed the older of the two while hoisting himself over a stack of vents to join the other atop the warehouse roof.

    “Ok yeah, but now I know we’re close. Can’t you smell the river?”

    She crouched down and reached her hands out to help her friend up.

    “Wow…” Felicia whistled in wide-eyed amazement. “Now I understand why they call it Topside. Just look at those columns!”

    Summary

    In a world where strategy wins wars and miracles demand impossible prices, Erin Solstice finds herself in Baleros teaching chess in the Academy. Fraerling-sized, battle-worn, and carrying secrets no one believes, she becomes both a puzzle and a wonder—forcing [Strategists], students, and even the great Niers Astoragon to confront truths beyond their understanding.

    Spoilers up to 10.38 E. I deliberately omitted some characters and changed some of the original plot.

    Summary

    After the battle to defend the Earth, Klein tries to help Amon feel better by spending time with him. Little does he know, the Crow ends up helping him too, far more than he had ever imagined.

    5 times Amon stole happiness from other people to give to Klein, and 1 time he shared his own.

    ~

    Basically, set after COI, now that Klein has lost his less intense emotions, Amon makes it so that Klein can still feel the small happiness in life like the happiness after eating a good meal and all that by stealing and giving it to Klein. Up until he himself has enough emotions and love to share with Klein, hence the title. If Klein can no longer feel love, Amon will just love Klein enough for the both of them.

    Summary

    And then Eddie exhales, shaky and uneven, the words spilling out before he can stop them. “I think we should kiss,” he says.
    Buck blinks. “What?”
    Eddie laughs once - a short, nervous sound - but the words keep coming, unstoppable now. “Just… to see what it’s like. I hadn’t really thought about it before now, not seriously, but - there’s something different about tonight.”

    OR

    It's not about the fire.
    It's about what comes after - the quiet, the burgers gone cold, the shared milkshake that always tastes a little too sweet.
    Buck talks too much. Eddie doesn't say enough. Somewhere between the laughter and the late nights, something starts to shift - soft, unspoken, inevitable.
    Three nights. One confession
    And all the things they never meant to say out loud.

    Summary

    In the eastern empire of Fahlgren, slaves aren't just a source of free labor from petty criminals, victims of lost wars, or those desperate enough to sell their souls for a bite to eat. They are also sought after as the most valuable exotic artifact a noble could buy...

    The Duchess of Tuania was a nation renowned beauty, known for her charm and appearance ever since her grand debut decades ago and infamy between her and the Tuania brothers, but most of all, she was revered as a generous woman who rescued little Opal from the mud.

    Malori Hemsley was a name unknown to most, there was no Malori, only the rare little girl, little Opal, the adorable little thing that Nian supposedly cherished almost like daughter.

    (In other words, this multi part fic will delve into the messed-up aspect of slavery in the remarried empress since the original story clearly doesn't want to do it)

    Summary

    “Blow your fucking candle, idiot,” Bakugou grits out. “Make a wish.”

    Eijirou straightens up, boring deep into Bakugou’s eyes, challenging him.

    “Are you gonna make it come true, too?”

    When you’re in the circles of some rich and mighty, it starts feeling like you are on the periphery of all the rich and mighty.

    But still, Katsuki hadn't expected the redheaded star from a few months ago to walk into his restaurant, and Eijirou hadn't expected to find himself in the notorious chef's talented hands for his birthday.

    So it goes.
