Summary
Napoleon was about to launch into his carefully scripted spiel of punctuated disdain when he hesitated, hands still cupped over the delicate little Soviet-made devices that he had found in his room. There was a faint but unmistakable sensation crawling under his skin, a prickling, restless buzz, like getting light-headed off good champagne, and Napoleon narrowed his eyes, script forgotten, studying an increasingly irritated-looking Illya with a new light.
Illya, on the other hand, had folded his arms. His bowtie looked ridiculous with his suit, highlighting the far too long expanse between his shirt collar and belly, and he was starting to scowl. “What?” he demanded again, a flat curl of annoyance making his tone harsh, and Napoleon nearly flinched instinctively back before all the enforced training kicked in.

Summary
In the first month of being co-opted into working with Illya Kuryakin full time at U.N.C.L.E., Napoleon stole Illya’s father’s watch four times, twice out of spite, once out of drunken curiosity, and once out of sheer boredom. After the fourth time, Gaby sprained one of Napoleon’s fingers and threatened to do worse if he did it again.
“You are not a spy,” she told him firmly, dangling the watch out of reach as Napoleon curled in a wincing, fetal position on his Le Corbusier couch in his upstate apartment. “You are a thief with the self-control of a child. Now give me back my ring.”
“What ring?” Napoleon asked innocently, even through the pain.
“How fond are you of your nose?” Gaby shot back blandly.

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
“Have you ever lived with anyone before?”
At Wade’s question, Logan pauses to think. Scratches his balls for a second, and says, “I lived at Xavier’s school for a while, before I left. Lived in a clapboard boarding house about seventy years back. A couple of times, I slept in a park with other people nearby. Do those count?”
“That was a rhetorical question,” says Wade. “Some might even call it an accusatory one. Mostly because—dude. I’m a fucking mess. But you’re even worse.”
(two loser loners, falling in love.)

When Merlin first hears that Arthur has been betrothed, his ribs pull inwards with an odd little hitch, and he only allows himself a second—which he needs in order to coordinate spinning in place without falling on his face—before he’s running to Arthur’s chambers.

Summary
After a mission in Mexico goes wrong, SHIELD Agents Barnes and Rogers are given the job of hunting down the notorious Hawkeye and the Black Widow, the only problem being: no one even knows what they look like.
On the other side of the law, Clint's enjoying messing with their new SHIELD shadows, especially seeing how close he can get to Agent Barnes without him realising, but he makes the mistake of getting attached, and that makes everything more complicated.

Summary
Clint Barton's Super Secret Snipers' Club. (Invitation and pending mental health evaluation required.)
"When Steve brings Bucky back to the tower for the first time, Clint’s first thought is that Tony Stark’s pride and joy is quickly becoming a less of a very tall and expensive ‘fuck you’ in the faces of investors who don’t believe in self-sustaining energy, and more of a superhero rehabilitation center."
Boyfriends, compromises and learning to like oneself.

Summary
Edwin Payne and Charles Roland are not Orpheus and Eurydice. They are not tragic figures of myth, children of gods and spirits, immortalized in verse by the poets of old. They’re nothing special at all – just two boys too stubborn to move on.
With that said, however… Edwin must admit that there are certain similarities.

Summary
Far is a new term for them. They didn’t really have too far, before, which Charles supposes is because he assumed they were already as far as they could go. He’d given up his own personal forever for Edwin, back when he only knew him as the lonely spirit who’d said he wasn’t good with people, even after he’d spent an entire night comforting a complete stranger.
They’d talked about it, after.
I had forever, Edwin had told him, smiling ruefully. You only had a few hours. What is that compared with an eternity?
I want that eternity, Charles hadn’t said. Those “few hours” convinced me to sacrifice a lot, Charles hadn’t said. Thirty years convinced me to sacrifice everything, Charles hadn’t said. Everything but being with you.

When Charles stopped pacing, he stopped on the opposite side of the room. “I figured,” he told Edwin, “I figured I’d need that light again, one day. Figured I’d always need it.”

Or, the first thing Charles put in that backpack was a knife. The seventh thing was a lantern.

Edwin hesitated. He did want to tell Charles about the Cat King. He also wanted literally nothing less.
Charles was already so close to Crystal’s door. Red, for courage, Niko’s voice whispered in his head.
“Charles -” he started.

Summary
Geralt of Rivia made his way to Kaer Morhen during the Summer of the 78th year of his life, believing himself ill.
*
“Some would consider the extraordinarily rare gift of a soulmate something to be grateful for, Geralt. A side effect of your mutation to be celebrated. Although, I can understand why having an empathic bond with a newborn creature might be making you feel a bit bratty.”
Minutes of silence stretched between them, interrupted only by the sounds of the wind whipping through the valley outside. Eventually, Geralt lifted his head and stood.
“Fuck.” He said after a time, with finality.
“Hmm,” Vesemir agreed.
*
In the 97th year of his life, Geralt met a bard named Jaskier.

Summary
“You know,” the old man says with a knowing smile, “if ever there was a place where you could recite and sing of Kaer Morhen, it is within her walls. Perhaps your stay will bring some lightness to all of us and not only the child and Geralt.”
Jaskier hides the stab of pain at the implication that Geralt might be glad to see him, instead he offers another simple bow and thanks Vesemir for his hospitality before fleeing into the room.
“Oh, you fool,” he whispers to himself as he falls into a nearby seat, “you bloody heartsick fool, you should have run. Why don’t you ever run?”

After a year of training Ciri in monster-hunting and Chaos, Vesemir and Yennefer agree that her education needs a boost of court politics and wordplay, which means bringing an angry heartbroken master of the seven liberal arts to Kaer Morhen.

Summary
Jaskier is a very good kisser, and almost kisses Geralt often enough, which is a damn sight closer than most people get. Even when he’s paying for it, he doesn’t get kissed enough. Jaskier gets close, though.
He pulls back, eventually—regrettably—and grins up at him, face flushed and expression delighted. Geralt’s chest aches just looking at him.
“Sorry, I think I’m early,” Jaskier says apologetically, then kisses him again, and again, and . . .
Geralt has no idea what he thinks he needs to be sorry for.

"It was not new, this exquisite desire. It had painted Arthur's days and haunted his nights for far too long, but he had never dared to act upon it. Yet with the turning seasons, it only seemed to grow in strength, intoxicating and full of promise."

Summary
'The potion in question was, as far as I can tell, of suitable strength to do its job. Merlin's power would have offered him no defence. There is, of course, one universal antidote against any magics that meddle in matters of the heart...'
'Which is?' Arthur demanded, raising his eyebrows.
Gaius sighed, casting a tired, apologetic look in Merlin's direction. 'If the target of a love spell is already truly, deeply devoted to someone – if they love another without question or pause – then no spell can take hold.'
'You're saying that it didn't work because Merlin already loves someone?' The words felt thin between his lips, straining to get past the sudden, leaden feeling in his chest. It felt like someone had plunged their hand inside him and caught his heart in the cage of their fist, and Arthur was left breathless as he tried to speak around the awful sensation.

When a love potion fails to affect Merlin because his heart has already been claimed, Arthur is left wondering who has earned Merlin's devotion

Summary
The disbelief knocked the air out of Arthur’s lungs, harsher than a fight or a battle wound ever did, like a bang straight to the chest. It was all he felt at first, and he wanted to double over with it, to scream that this couldn’t be either fair or true. Merlin couldn’t be a sorcerer—he just couldn’t. But it soon dissolved, and Arthur’s feet were steadied by abrupt smoldering rage, blinding the familiarity of the boy in front of him.
“Are you going to kill me, Arthur?” Merlin asked, a bittersweet smile on his lips, with the tip of Arthur’s sword flashing at his throat.
