Summary
Alexander takes the letter from my hands, and I know he sees the name on the envelope because he sets it on the table without opening it, quickly, like the words would burn him if he read them.
“Oliver,” Alexander says carefully, his voice a mixture of fear, wonderment, and grief. “Are you sure you want me to –?”
“I need to know if you can see what I see,” I tell him. “You’re the only one who could be objective about it. Meredith’s too prejudiced against him. Pip would just pity me. I can’t talk to Wren. You’re the only one who can be objective. You’ll tell me if it’s nothing. You always have.”

Summary
He wandered in just before closing, bruising all around both eyes, hair and clothes disheveled and a little soot-stained, with all the tell-tale signs of exhaustion. There was a pile of old books clutched in one arm, and in the other a handful of gold coins, which he dropped unceremoniously on her countertop, letting them scatter every which way.
“Fifteen shots of espresso,” he said, prompt and weary and just a little bit sharp. “Extra-bitter.”
“Fifteen?” Clarke repeated before she could stop herself. He glared down his nose at her, which is when everything clicked together; the books, the sharp words, the gold, the heat in his eyes and just the smallest of scorch marks on his upper lip—he was a dragon.

Summary
They gravitated towards Zuko whenever the temperature dipped even slightly. At night, he often woke to someone pulling their bedroll towards him, or slipping under his arm, or turning over in their sleep and colliding with his shoulder.
It alarmed him, at first. It had never been a good thing when someone woke him in the dead of the night.
It was strange, then, that he was on the run without Uncle, officially a traitor to his homeland, and for the first time since his mother left, he woke in the night sandwiched between bodies, feeling safe.
(Zuko becomes the group's heat-pack.)

A/N: Set a few years after CoS, with Roy and Edward sleeping together and unknowingly breaking each other's hearts in the process.
Summary:
A half hour later, and Edward is passed out sound asleep in Roy's bed.
He's wearing one of Roy's housecoats, and he's curled up in a ball with his head on Roy's pillow.
Roy stares at him for a moment before he turns and walks out of the room.
Brandy. Brandy, and paperwork. Right now, he can't deal with the man curled up asleep in his bed.

Summary
The day his mother dies, Bellamy Blake discovers his little sister is a witch.
It’s not that he didn’t know that there was something different – special – about Octavia before. Her cuts and bruises would heal too fast, her pleadings were always a little bit too convincing and sometimes, when she got really mad, Bellamy could swear he could hear thunder roaring in the distance. But the day Aurora Blake dies Octavia screams and every glass window pane in their rusty old house shatters with the force of her pain.
That’s when Bellamy knows they have to move.
That’s when Bellamy knows they have to find a coven.
(Or: Urban Fantasy/Witches!AU where Clarke's the head of the Sky Crew Coven and Octavia thinks she doesn't need it, Bellamy's just being a dork and overthinking this - as always.)

Summary
“Well, the General has always had a thing for blondes,” Breda points out from the part of the room Roy is decidedly not looking at anymore, and Roy twitches before he’s able to physically restrain himself from repeatedly headbutting the nearest available surface.
“Aren’t Generals supposed to be respected by their teams?” Roy mutters, just barely loud enough for his team to hear. “Aren’t subordinates supposed to gratefully defer to their commanding officers? At the very least, they aren’t supposed to personally attack their superiors with incriminating details about their personal lives.”

Summary
Every time Edward sees the circle on the back Mustang's hand, he wants to scream, wants to reach across the desk and shake him, wants to wrap his hands around the older man's throat and ask if it was worth it, if this desk and his rank is worth the screaming, crying, writhing, burning bodies of his people -
"Something to say, Fullmetal?" Mustang drawls.
Edward snaps the file shut, "Nope."

Summary
A woman’s honour is different than a man’s; men seek to cleanse their honour with blood, while any woman can tell you that it’s hard work that removes stains.
A kunoichi’s heart is strong and enduring; it bruises where a shinobi’s breaks.
Hatake Sakumo was a woman, not a man; her daughter Kakashi is the Silver Wolf, the legacy of the White Fang.- Language:

This will sound a little ridiculous, no matter how Sasuke phrases it. I see dead people is embarrassingly tacky, and I'm half-spirit seems like something Sakura might say when she's stoned sky high. So he settles for a shrug.
