Summary
Beta male Theo Norcott had fought tooth and nail to prove himself in the ruthless world of corporate finance, only to be overshadowed by Nicholas Hale, the company’s most infuriatingly confident Alpha executive who just bagged the promotion Theo had dreamed about. Their rivalry is legendary, Theo convinced the Alpha teased him simply due to genetics.
When a major client pitch forces them to work together, old wounds reopen, the balance between them shifts. Suddenly, every late meeting, every elevator ride, every stolen moment crackles with tension. Nicholas isn’t just watching him — he’s hunting him, testing the edges of Theo’s resistance with a patience that feels as dangerous as it is magnetic.
Theo tells himself he can hold his ground. That his sharp words and stubborn defiance will keep Nicholas at arm’s length. Yet the more they clash, the clearer it becomes: Nicholas doesn’t want obedience. He wants him. Every part of him.
Yet Alphas are never interested in Betas, right? It’s always the Omegas. But it seems that Nicholas never got that particular memo. And the most dangerous part?
Theo isn’t sure how much longer he wants to fight.

Summary
It seems that near enough every day, a new tale comes whispered of Lucerys Velaryon.
They say that he drowned beneath the waters of Shipbreaker Bay, that what arose from the waves was only the shade of the boy that fell from dragonback.
They say that he struck a bargain with the Stranger or worse god yet to live again, that any life reaped by him and his dragon forms some terrible payment to cheat death over and over.
They say that his dragon is no child of Valyria at all, but a demon from the seven hells, one that sees human and dragon alike only as carrion for the feed.
Aemond scorns each and every story for the absurdities that they are. Luke is as he always has been - a greedy, grasping bastard, bent on his ruin. No ghost, god or dragon could alter that.

Summary
Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
The house he grew up in.
Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
He wonders if they can see it.or
Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?

Summary
“A life by the beach?” he laughs bitterly, “Pretending everything was worth it and that everything will be all right?”
"Think again, Eren, that’s even more delusional than your ideals of freedom,”He knows he has gone too far the moment Eren’s hand closes around the collar of his shirt, and he drags him up and closer to his face, and even when he knows that a hit is coming, Armin keeps his eyes on him.
Yet the punch never comes, and Armin blinks slightly taken aback.
Or
Eren brainwashed Armin and they literally live a happy ever after (of sorts).

Summary
Returning from a spectacularly successful mission, which is absolutely not a lie, and having secured a scroll of a particular interest to the clan, Tobirama comes across a child in need, whom he absolutely cannot ignore. The issue, though, lies in the fact that the child is undeniably an Uchiha spawn, and its guardian won’t hesitate to make themselves known in due time.
As push comes to shove and things turn from bad to worse, Tobirama thinks that the scroll might have been cursed. If it was cursed for eternal misery, however, or for true love, remains to be seen.
Wherever the road leads, his only choice now is to take it.
