Summary
Jerusalem had fallen. Now, on top of the indignity of having to walk - walk! - to Alexandria to avoid getting shot out of the sky, Yusuf al-Kaysani has the double misfortune of being saddled with a filthy, empty-headed, exasperating Frank who doesn't even seem to know what his wings are for.
But after an explosion of temper reveals something about his enemy that Yusuf could never have fathomed in a thousand years, Yusuf finds himself looking at his companion in a whole new light. Suddenly tasked with helping Nicolo achieve a dream, an unexpected spark of compassion is born, that leads to forgiveness, to friendship, to all and more.
Every love story is a kind of dance.
Or - Yusuf and Nicolo live in a world where everyone has wings. It changes a lot about their world, and nothing about them.

Summary
Historical AU set during the Fall of Carthage (2nd century BCE). When Carthaginian merchant Yusuf first met Nicolò in Rome, he thought him simply a pleasant night's distraction from the looming threat of war between their respective homelands. He did not expect to meet him again in battle outside the walls of Carthage—or, well…anything else that followed, really.

Summary
Let’s switch up the timeline a little bit:
Maul is captured by Ahsoka before the Chancellor is being kidnapped, thus Order 66 doesn’t happen just yet. Instead Maul is taken to Coruscant to stand trial.
At the same time, an Exploration Corp finds note of an ancient artifact of great importance, but has trouble locating it. For the artifact to be located and activated, it needs both, a Jedi and a Sith. Good thing the Order has one at hand. Obi-Wan, unwilling to put another Jedi at risk, volunteers to work with Maul. Maul is, surprisingly, quite cooperative.
Together, they challenge destiny.

Summary
“I’m sorry, my love,” he whispered as he brought his swords up. “I have to do this.”
Zuko closed his eyes as tears slipped down his face, turned his head to the side, and brought his swords down towards Sokka’s neck.
or,
Zuko is sent to assassinate the spirit-touched Prince Sokka of the Northern Water Tribe, twenty years after the end of the Great War. It seems like any other mission at first, except for the fact that as they get closer, he realizes there’s more to Sokka than meets the eye. And he begins to think that maybe some orders… aren’t worth following.
