Summary
Every couple has a history but few get their stories recorded in the history books. Fewer still get to write their own history. A very few special exceptions have the privilege of living on to keep the knowledge of history pure and actually teach their story to the younger generations. (Someone grew up with the wrong definition of privilege.)
The story of Yuri Plisetsky and Lee Seung-gil is unusual. People throughout history can learn from the mistakes that were made and avoid them in the future. This isn’t usually how it happens and when everything gets messed up, people suffer needlessly.
This is the story of how they met as told by Yuri Plisetsky, recorded for the historical archive.

Summary
Uhtred knew they were coming seconds before they descended on them from the tree lines.
Cold dread seized his heart, a full-grown panic that made him dizzy. This was an impossible position to defend, he knew it. He grabbed for the handle of his weapon and, for a fraction of a heartbeat, looked at Alfred, who was looking back at him with wide eyes, pale and fragile, clearly unprepared. Uhtred drew his sword.
“TO YOUR WEAPONS!” he shouted from the depth of his chest. “DEFEND THE KING WITH YOUR LIVES!”

An AU InuYasha Fanfiction
Marriage is sacred. It is meant to be between two people who held love for one another. Meant to start a happy and joyous life together.
That is, unless you're royalty. Then, you don't have much choice in the matter.
Kagome had just reached her 15th birthday when the Shikon Jewel was sent to her, an act of proposal on behalf of the Inu-Yokai clan, asking her hand in marriage to their Hanyo prince, Son of the late, great Lord Toga, as an act to secure his half of the western lands, Musashi.
Now, 3 years later, Kagome is finally to be delivered to her husband, a far less than willing participant in his father's affairs that lead to a mortal woman being laid on the doorstep of his palace wrapped in silks like a present.
~Once the red strings of fate become tangled, it cannot be unraveled~

Summary
When Renbob was summoned back down to the surface of planet HC-6, he expected to be needed for his good vibes and plentiful supply of dog treats. What he didn't anticipate is the need to traverse his cousin's increasingly befuddling love life, which is somehow both incredibly blatant and going straight over Rendog's head.
