Yearning for Time: A Words before Powers remix by Caesia390

Summary
In Corrieander's "Words Before Powers," Alexander and Alina are soulmates with their first words inscribed on their skin. They say each others' words before either of them realize she's the Sun Summoner. This remix (with gracious permission) extends that premise when Alexander delays the crossing to inspect the skiffs.
How will Alexander cope as he comes to grips with the fact that his soulmate is not the Sun Summoner but rather a scrawny Otkazat’sya cartographer? How will Alina handle a soulbond with the dark and distant Grisha general?

Summary
Once upon a time there was a bitter old woman who lived by herself in a dark hut in a dark wood in a dark, cold land. She had lived so long alone by herself that, even though she detested other people, she began to long for a child to be born to her to keep her company and to share her long, lonely life.
This old woman knew powerful magics, so one night she called upon the darkness itself to grant her wish and give her a son. Nine months later it came to be, and a lovely, dark-haired baby was born to her. She named him Alexander, but most often she called him Darkling.

South Side Fairy Tale by Caesia390

Summary
Alina is a working class girl who falls for a handsome rich man. Who turns out to be a car thief with a secret life. Who then gets into a car accident and winds up in a coma. Which is how Alina Starkov, Dunkin Donuts employee, winds up as the alleged fiancee of the very wealthy mayor's wayward son.
The family lawyer, Alexander Morozova, is initially suspicious of Alina and has the feeling that there's something deeply wrong with her engagement to Nikolai. But it could be that the real problem he has with it is that she's engaged to Nikolai and not to himself.
Starts as a mashup between While You Were Sleeping and Shameless Season One, but then slides straight into a class conscious, sugar daddy adjacent Darklina. And yet also a surreal folk tale..? ..I dunno, y'all, it's just all the things.

Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”
