Summary
Fjord pauses. There is, as always, the niggling sensation in the back of his head to lie, to deflect, to deceive. Essek is the right hand of a monarch who doesn’t entirely trust his merry little band, even if they did bring back her country’s precious beacon. But here, with soft candlelight warming the lilac hue of Essek’s skin, his eyes bright and sharp and focused solely on Fjord he-
He realizes something entirely too late.
“Mister Theylas, is-is this a date?”
(Essek courts Fjord, with a lot of input from Caleb. Fjord lets himself want, and ask for what he wants. It'll get smutty after all the angst, promise.)

Summary
Your protocols begin. The air is warm, and humid. Your four legs are on a stone floor, your arms and fingers move through their functions. Your sight focuses up first, to gauge the location of any astral bodies, clouds, or landmarks. You find yourself in a building, smooth white stone walls and arching windows letting in bright sunlight. Focusing forward, you find you are not alone.

Summary
Found families have to be found. Villains aren't villains until they act, well, villainous. Heroes aren't heroes until...you get the point.
Roll the dice. Sleep with a friend. Make mistakes, but cut no corners. Sing with the sun when it rises.
(This is actually an extremely self-indulgent non-powered au about how dnd brings all these people together to fight the bad guys.)

Bitchfits and Best Friends; Earth's Mightiest Heroines by CharlieBradbury
Fandom Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types, The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types
10 Oct 2013
Summary
Tony Stark started it, by not only being the most intelligent woman in the weapons business, but later by becoming the most recognized public figure across the planet.
Stella Rogers would argue that she actually started it, lying her way into the military and becoming the world's first super-soldier; in a skirt or not.
Lucy Banner doesn't want any of the credit; she just wants to find a sports bra strong enough to keep the Hulk in check.
Thora Odindottir wouldn't mind taking the credit, since she feels she predates all of the others but it is verily quite amusing to watch her shield sisters argue about something so petty.
Claire Barton's too busy pinging popcorn off of Iron Woman's helmet into the back of Cap's head to give a shit.
Nathaniel Romanov's betting on Stark to win this argument, if just to make Phyllis Coulson (almost) splutter to defend her hero.

Summary
The return of the Calamity has been foretold. And while the peoples of Hyrule are united in their preparations to oppose it, there are some who believe the current king of the Gerudo would best be kept under watchful eyes, if for no other reason than his name.
Fearing for his people’s wellbeing if he doesn’t comply, and all too familiar with the legends of his ancient predecessors, Ganon willingly places himself in Hylian protective custody until the threat of the Calamity has passed. He’s resigned to a lonely, unpleasant stay at Hyrule Castle, until he meets the Hylian royal guard assigned to protect him.
Sir Link surpasses his every expectation from day one, fiercely loyal and courageous to a fault, uncaring of the suspicions that surround Ganon—not to mention incredibly charming. But as they grow closer, Ganon can’t help but wonder if their fates will tear them apart again before this is all over.
“You should see royal guard training.”
Link gives him a cheeky grin that takes his already pretty face and makes it downright stunning, bruises and all. Ganon finds himself smiling back, even while he wonders what on earth the Hylians put their finest knights through.

Summary
At precisely the seven-and-a-half hour mark, Izzy prepares the cabin for landing. Ed’s crackly voice buzzes over the loudspeaker with the announcement. He’s not thinking specifically of Finance Consultant Guy, nor of anything bar the inevitable banality of deboarding, so it genuinely catches him off-guard when a hand closes over his wrist.
“Apologies for being forward, but what are you doing after this?”

Summary
He’d been stumbling through the untamed wilds for several hours, trying to find his way back after straying too far away from the road, his horse, and the rest of the Bell’s Hells.
He caught sight of the shadow standing in the trees, rising from a crouch to stand five– six– seven- eight feet tall.
He swallowed down the bubble of air in his throat as the shadow swayed, taking massive steps forwards. In response, Orym took a step backwards, maybe more than one. He wasn’t really thinking when the creature stepped through the undergrowth within a couple dozen feet from him.
It was a minotaur.
A very naked minotaur.Series
