Summary
The bard doesn’t seem to notice Geralt lurking behind him until Geralt clears his throat, a low rumble, which makes him turn.
“Goodness,” he says. “Hello. You’re very… loomy.”
Now she’s closer, Ciri can see his face properly. His hair hangs lank around his face; stubble covers his chin, a little too long to be stylish; his eyes above are a bright shining blue. And yet there’s something faded about him, his clothes just slightly worse for wear, his cheeks hollow.
“Jaskier,” Geralt says, almost desperately.
After the mountain, a reunion. It doesn’t go that well, to begin with.

Summary
Zuko was not a good shifter.
Azula could switch between her wolf and human skins between steps. Not Zuko, he needed several minutes before he even started the shift, and that was on a good day. If it had been Azula who Animal Control found in that alley, they would have walked away convinced that their eyes had played a trick on them. There had never been a dog there.
But Zuko's long transformation would have only revealed his kind to the world. Father may think he has no honor, but he wouldn't stoop so low as that. Even if that meant being dumped in animal shelter, trapped as much by the 24/7 security cameras as by the cage bars.
He had the worst luck.

"Come on guys!" Aang said as he lead his friends through the clamoring barks of the shelter. "I want to show you my favorite dog! He's a sweetheart."
Aang lead the pair to where a monstrous beast of a dog was growling with raspy barks loud enough to drown out the rest of the shelter. His bright white teeth contrasted against golden eyes and a bright red scar that stretched over the side of his face as he lunged against the cage door.
Sokka laughed nervously. "Did the word 'sweetheart' change meaning when I wasn't looking?"- Language:

Summary
There’s a sharp intake of breath to Shane’s left, the memory of it polluting the air. The tense silence lapses over the two of them again, the shadow of fluttering moths dancing to the rhythm of Shane’s racing heartbeat. He’s a demon of old, he can destroy spirits with a snap of his fingers, he could pick Ryan apart molecule by molecule if he so pleased. But simple human emotion has led him to this -- all power over himself he has given to Ryan, and it’s up to Ryan to decide whether he’s going to cool the aching burn of Shane’s heart or leave it to rot in a case for all to see.
---
5 times that Shane screwed up and almost revealed that he was a demon, and 1 time Ryan revealed that he knew it all along.
