    Summary

    “Only one of you can leave this room.”

    Summary

    When Jaime Lannister rides into Winterfell seeking absolution and a place in the war against the dead, he finds a queen in all but crown. Sansa Stark is steel wrapped in snow-white velvet, and she does not forgive. Between blades and blizzards, they circle each other: wary, wanting, walled. An assassin from the south shatters the stalemate, and blood on Jaime’s sword opens a door neither can close. Through the Long Night, the fall of Cersei, and a North that stands alone, Sansa learns the dangerous comfort of control freely given, and Jaime learns he wants nothing more than to kneel for the woman who commands him to rise.

    Summary

    It's been just over ten years since the massacre that claimed most of England's royal and noble families, and since Peony awoke in an infirmary with no memory, no identity, and no explanation for how she wound up floating in the Thames.

    Now, at one-and-twenty, she's hit the age of majority and been tossed out of the orphanage to make her own way. She decides to leave England, hoping that the words “Together in Athens” engraved on her pendant—the only link to her forgotten past—will lead to answers about who she is and where she came from. But in order to leave England she needs board a ship, and in order to do that, she needs a ticket and a visa.

    Con artists Colin and Benedict see this as the perfect opportunity: Who better to assist than a pair of brothers who find themselves in need of someone to impersonate the Princess Penelope, who is rumoured to have survived that dreadful night, so that they can defraud the exiled Dowager Queen?

    Peony hesitantly accepts their offer to take her to Athens, in hopes that she might finally find her family. But as they set out on their journey, she soon learns that she is not the only one who's haunted by ghosts.

    Summary

    “Didn’t even look like Sonic, honestly-” Amy starts, and Tails continues.

    “Green spikes, really messy bangs- brown eyes I think? I think he called you Arthur first- said a friend told him you were here.”

    “He did? I didn’t even hear that- he was so quiet asking the receptionist. I didn’t catch it-” Amy tilts her head as she processes the new information. Tails nods, but stops as he notices Sonic has gone deathly still.

    “....Sonic?” The hedgehog in question blinks as he remembers where he is. He looks to Knuckles, who has very conveniently gotten very quiet. A ping comes in on Knuckle’s communicator, and Sonic glances down at it for a moment before making eye contact with an increasingly uncomfortable echidna.

    After Sonic Forces, a certain hedgehog has had enough with the lack of contact from his brother, and finally makes a move

    Summary

    Sesshōmaru was once saved from a high council trap. Kōga, from an eastern rebellion ambush. The only thing in common? Anonymous messages from The Peacekeeper.
    Kōga has the letter framed. Sesshōmaru keeps his in a sealed box. Both are signed The PeaceKeeper. Both letters saved their lives.

    When a string of demon and human leaders confess they too were spared by anonymous messages, suspicion turns to obsession. As they begin to hunt her identity, they find disturbing patterns: files smuggled out of locked demon libraries. Council assassins who were killed just before their blades struck.
    She’s everywhere. And nowhere.

    Summary

    Chase hesitates for a long moment before raising his hand to the door. He knocks once, twice, and waits, unsure what emotion swirls in his chest.

    For a moment it is simply quiet.

    Then a thin, raspy, “Come in.” answers him.

    Chase takes a calming breath, in and out. He pushes the door open and lets the soft wash of light carry him in.

    The Queen is resting on her sickbed, surrounded by shadows, with only the light of a small lamp hanging above her head. It casts her in gentle spotlight, like a lantern sunk in a deep ocean. When she sees him, her eyes widen slightly and a small smile spreads across her lips.

    “Hello darling.”

    -------------------

     

    Spurred on by a sleepless night, Chase goes on a solo adventure into a book. It seems like the standard fairytale of a princess looking after her kingdom, but... Buddy is nowhere to found and family responsibilities soon start piling on the princess' shoulders.

    Summary

    Yuri feels like he’s forgetting something crucial. Life threatening crucial—which is odd, seeing as his life is anything but. Double shifts at the coffee shop are hardly life threatening, no matter how much his best friend argues otherwise.

    But deep down, Yuri can’t help but sense something is very, very wrong.

    Summary

    On the day Theseus Hendrick Mycroft died, no one cried, not even him. He was a despised man, the crown prince only in title. Many would claim he was shunned even by the gods but they would be wrong. See, there is an ancient law that even the gods must listen to, the law of free will. If the mortals walking the earth decided Theseus was unworthy of love then there was little the gods could do to change their minds.

    At least, not while he was alive. A fancy little loophole, a favor from Time who adored Theseus just as much as the rest of the gods, and Theseus would live once more, now with divine favor bleeding from his skin. The Kingmaker System would ensure he will live to see the end of his fate, to be the greatest king the world has ever known.

    But... a small issue. The morality of the gods is much different than the morality of man and the system was designed with their view of morals and what makes a good king in mind.

    The descent into depravity is slow but inevitable.

    Summary

    Mon Mothma had been there, holding Padmé's hand on Polis Massa, she'd watched as the first friend her age who hadn't been chosen or assigned to her died, slowly and pained.

    So when Masters Kenobi and Yoda had told Bail and Mon to take Padmé's memory, her children, both had agreed.

    Mon accepted the boy, "Luke" Padmé had murmured, with her last breath, and rushed back to Coruscant.

    This changes things.

    Summary

    Viktor wasn't chasing the fame, or glory, or wasn't bathing in people's cheers, and Jayce just wanted him to stay by his side, so the world could acknowledge his hard work too.
    He was the face of their inventions, but Viktor — Viktor was the heart.

    The truth, stark and brutal, hit him with the force of another blast. He had put Viktor in the line of fire. He had, by his very presence, by his very identity, endangered the man he loved.

    Summary

    Kaladin is sworn to protect. She’s a spy sent to betray. And their relationship could save—or break—both of them.

    Kara has always walked between worlds: lighteyed noble and Diagram loyalist, spy and scholar, failsafe and free spirit. Sent to Urithiru with vague orders and no backup, she plans to lay low, map the tower, and stay unnoticed. But when she ends up as a scribe for the Windrunners, Kaladin refuses to drop his suspicions, and she can't quite tame her curiosity. Turns out, lying to Bridge Four is more difficult than she anticipated. As suspicions rise and war rages, Kara must navigate dangerous secrets, a stormy Windrunner Captain, and a budding group of Windrunners that makes her wish she could give honest answers for once.

    Secrets unravel. Storms gather. And Kara’s past returns. Violently.

    Sometimes, survival means trusting the person with the sword at your throat.

    Weekly updates (or more)

    Starts a few weeks after Oathbringer. Canon Divergent.

    Note: This Kara is an original character and not the Windrunner Kara who appears later in canon.

    Summary

    A Forward by the Scholar Zuyen:

    It has been a long upheld truth of our great nation that after the twin falls of the disgraced Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Azula, and their subsequent imprisonments, neither of the two ever regained contact with our well-respected Fire Lord Zuko. While Fire Lord Zuko ensured the humane holding conditions of his estranged father and sister immediately after his ascension to the throne, he reportedly never saw a need to continue communications with them. Before writing this book, my answer to such an obvious statement would have been, "Blasting flames—well of course he didn't!" Now, though, my answer would be quite different. But best leave that til later.

    Fire Lord Zuko, when questioned about such matters, only ever gave one answer in response, saying: “A true leader has no need for snakes and scoundrels. Dragons are far superior.”

    Given his far more professional reply, it is no wonder that he was the fire lord and I am a less-than-humble scholar.

    Summary

    Un frisson parcourut l'échine d'Allen.

    « Tu connais le nom du chef de notre clan rival, mais tu n'as jamais vu son visage, non ? » dit Luberrier en affichant une photographie devant lui.

    Allen hoqueta. Que… ?

    « Je vais te donner une mission de la plus haute importance, Oméga. Une mission que je ne peux donner à aucun autre, qui va te donner l'occasion de faire tes preuves. Cet alpha a coutumes de courir les omégas, il ne ratera pas une occasion de t'avoir. Au contraire, tes particularités risquent de l'intéresser. Invente-toi une histoire, mens, fais ce que tu veux. Ne lui dis rien sur ta véritable identité. Je veux que tu le séduises, à tous prix. Une fois que tu auras endormi sa méfiance, tue-le. »

    Ce visage juvénile qui lui était exposé était le bel inconnu rencontré en ville. Ainsi était donc son nom : Kanda Yû.

    A/B/O. Alpha ! Kanda. Omega ! Allen. Improvisé assassin, Allen est un oméga chargé de tuer Kanda, un alpha de l'armée rivale de son clan. Il n'avait pas prévu que celui-ci serait si beau, ni qu'en cherchant à se rapprocher de lui pour le duper, il serait celui qui tomberait sous son charme. Ses sentiments pourraient causer sa perte… ou l'amener à se découvrir.
