Summary
"Our tsar has three sons. Handsome lads, if one appreciates such things. None are married...yet." The old woman snorts. "That's why you're here, though, isn't it?"
"I'm to return the arrow to its archer. I know nothing beyond that. Other than it's," Vasilissa's mouth twists, "fate."
"So you find it cruel?"
The hut closes around her, the air warm and heavy. It's thick with the sent of rosemary and sage from the bundles of herbs hanging from the beams above them. The bones of previous suppers (hares and chickens and maybe even men) rattle in a hauntingly soothing melody. "I'd rather find it kind. But at the moment, I miss my shop." She shakes her head, and some of the syrupy warmth tugging at her mind fades. "It's childish of me, I know."
"And you're no child."

Summary
“Oh, come on. ‘Ferry Strike Drags On?’” Jaune complains, reading from the board. “It’s like Schnee doesn’t even want us to sell papers.”
“Better than another election puff piece talking about how great he is,” Oscar grumbles with a shrug. “Hawking that stuff makes my teeth hurt.”
“C’mon, guys, lay off. What do I always say?” Yang asks, tone dripping with cloying encouragement.
She’s rewarded with eye rolls and a ragtag chorus of voices ranging from unenthused to vaguely hostile: “Headlines don’t sell papes, newsies sell papes.”
[Or: Newsies AU! Blake arrives in Mantle with simple goals: stay away from the White Fang, keep her head down, get a job, and survive. The last thing she expects is to end up smitten with a charming fellow newsie like Yang. But when Jacques Schnee cruelly hikes the internal cost of the paper, Blake finds out that Yang’s been listening to all of Blake’s talk about fair labor practices and social justice a lot more closely than Blake realized—and the duo form a union that just might give both of them something to believe in.]

Summary
“I’m goin’ to die for them,” he says to Sophie, before he ever says it to Nate, and it is not a simple statement of fact but a barebones confession, the helpless bleeding of a wound that he was too smart to not know had been made but he’d been putting pressure of for years, hoping that with spit and a prayer that he could make it heal, but he never could, isn’t sure that the stitches that could close that wound have even been invented.
“Yes,” she says, “And how long have you known that?”

Summary
It was done, he told himself. Whatever change had occurred in the timeline, it was already in the past, irreversible as any other event. And after all, he’d known Marty for only a week. It was irrational to think of him as a friend. It was wildly irrational, to mourn something that had never existed.
After hearing about the birth of the McFly family's second daughter, Doc Brown can only conclude that the worst has happened and that Marty has somehow been erased from time. He resigns himself to being alone, but when he crosses paths with the new McFly kid he can't help but make a friend.

Summary
You may have heard it said that Aslan will never tell you any story but your own. Many are the stories told about Queen Susan: courtiers’ tales, Narnian legends, Calormene whispers, schoolyard taunts, British murmurs, odes and laments. Susan has her own stories — and they didn’t all end with a train wreck. (Which ones are true, you ask? That is up to you.)
