Summary
When they are born, they're called something extraordinary. The midwife holds each tiny elf up to their mother and proclaims with a beaming smile, "mirror image twins! We haven't had a couple little ones like this in centuries!" Their mother gives the midwife a blank smile, feigning interest, but doesn't bother to listen to the explanation. The explanation comes years later.
(Or, an exploration of Taako and Lup's journey through the planes.)

Summary
Bella sighed. “Goodness. Sometimes I wonder if it would just be easier if we did get married. It would probably save both of us a lot of headache.”
Arthur glanced over at Bella—the slant of her nose, the tight brown ringlets of her hair, the swell of her stomach—and said, “Well, then, why don’t we?”
.
As the evening draws on, Arthur and Bella discuss names, relationships, and the nature of love.

Summary
To say that John is interested in the stranger who’s been sitting at the far end of his bar for nearly three hours now would be an understatement. For one thing, the man has only ordered a single drink and is still nursing it, even though the ice is completely melted and watered-down whiskey is less than pleasant.
For another, in the low light of the club, he looks just like Arthur Lester.
.
Following the death of his daughter, famous film composer and pianist Arthur Lester drops out of the music scene and disappears from the public eye. Ten years later, Arthur now works as a private investigator and has no interest in performing or composing ever again.
John is intrigued by Arthur, who comes to his club to drink on the rare nights that there’s no music scheduled. As they meet again and again, they begin to grow closer. But Arthur isn’t the only one with a past he’s trying to run away from.

Summary
“I mean, how dumb does the mayor think we are? Offering us a permanent hotel room as a ‘gesture of gratitude for all our work for Paris’, like it isn’t clearly just some half-baked political ploy to place him more in the public’s favor after the whole school funding scandal, like we’ll allow ourselves to sleep in a hotel that we were publicly offered, making ourselves sitting ducks for Hawkmo—”
“It’s a pretty big building,” he countered, and at least he seemed amused, because she certainly wasn’t, “Nobody knows which room we were given but us.”
“It doesn’t matter!” she scoffed, “It’s still a security risk that he can narrow our location down at all! Also,” she jutted her arms out towards the bed a second time, “May I remind you? ONE. BED. ONE!”
———
Or, Ladybug and Chat Noir receive a hotel room from the city, which they most certainly will not use. After all, that wouldn't be very professional, would it?
Yes, it's a Ladynoir bed sharing fic.

Summary
Sherlock Holmes is a contradiction, an enigma, a force; at once the most generous spirit and the most self-contained man I have ever known. I've known more of him, I think, than anyone on earth. Yet for years I'd learned nothing about his boyhood, nor his fears, nor his future hopes, nor his father’s name. I never felt it as a lack until I knew he loved me.

Summary
“Flowers,” Arthur repeats dubiously. “Merlin is out… selling flowers.”
“The cornflowers sell especially well,” Gaius says.
Or: Merlin, on his trips to find herbs for Gaius, starts bringing home flowers. It doesn’t take long until the townspeople of Camelot start asking for specific flowers, and for Merlin to start taking orders.
Things sort of spiral.

Summary
Once again Arthur couldn’t help drawing comparisons between Merlin and the stable boy. They were both insolent and irreverent, had a penchant for getting under Arthur's skin, and neglected the use of his proper titles. Most of all, Arthur desperately wanted it to be him.

Summary
Mick is in the middle of a meeting with his publisher when his comms begin to blink - the name “Juno Steel” shining like an emergency flare.
"Listen, Mick, I’m calling to, uh…well, I’m calling to invite you to my wedding.”
Mick swallows the fondness and hope that flutters up through his windpipe. He knows Juno. This isn’t about friendship, this is a call for help, whether Juno is aware of it or not. And Mick made a promise to Benzaiten Steel over twenty years ago that he never planned to break.
“Wouldn’t miss it. Send over the details.”
Juno’s smile sounds incredibly genuine. Mick tries to settle his nerves.

Summary
Hob has been around death. Living in London throughout multiple plague outbreaks and fires, as well as making a living soldiering and dabbling in banditry, will do that to you. What he doesn't know is that Death has been around Hob as well. He has no idea that when his Stranger left him that night in 1389 after their first meeting, the woman who came up to him, laid a hand on his shoulder and said, “Good luck, friend,” was Death incarnate.
Hob doesn’t know that he is one of few things in this world that has been Touched by Death and lived. Had he known this, he might not have been as confused as he is when his body slams into the floor of a dim, candle-lit cellar and he finds himself surrounded by hooded figures and a gold circle on the floor. That is all he manages to perceive before everything goes blurry and consciousness slips away from him again.
Here in the Darkness.
*
Roderick Burgess' spell does not summon Death, but someone who has been touched by Death. Hob Gadling ends up in his cellar instead of Dream.

Summary
The first bit of flower she coughs up is a yellow rose petal.
It’s horribly unfair, actually, because Wednesday hates roses and the sheer intensity of the yellow is enough that staring at it actually, physically hurts her eyes. She would have preferred dahlias—the black ones, naturally—but if it had to be a rose, couldn’t it have been the thorny portion? Or at least a red rose, so she could occasionally lift a handkerchief to her mouth and imagine what it would have been like to be a 19th-century spinster, coughing up spots of blood before an inevitable death by consumption?
Oh, right. It also means she’s going to die.
-
In which Wednesday—despite her firm belief that it's impossible for someone like her—contracts hanahaki disease, and she and Enid learn what it means to define themselves on their own terms.
Post-canon (S1), one-shot.
