Summary
Jaina watches the dragon for a few seconds, breathing ragged. She’s getting dizzy from the blood loss, and she tightens her hand on her staff to stop herself from toppling over. “Why won’t you just help me kill him and stop more bloodshed from happening?”
“Would you prefer to stop the bloodshed or to prevent it?”
Jaina looks at him, then moves her eyes to the valley below. The butcher is somewhere inside, probably boasting about his so-called victory, as if attacking a peaceful city could be considered anything but an atrocity.
How many lives?
“Countless, my child. The ones you grieve today, the ones you grieved years ago, the ones you will grieve in years to come if you continue down this path.”
Or: the time travel fix it no one asked for but the Muse demanded so here we are.

Summary
Alastor has always been an opportunist. When a good opportunity falls into his lap like a red apple fell onto Sir Isaac Newton's head, he'll take it and use it to his best benefit. But the thing Alastor finds a little bit pathetic about himself is that, unfortunately, he IS also an Altruist. Besides, sometimes replanting that apple, making it grow and thrive, could bring him more benefits than gorging on it the second he gets it.
Written after s2e5 and s2s6 aired! So spoilers up to then, but not for future episodes!

Summary
Heavily canon-divergent AU.
Exiled to Drustvar and trained by Thornspeakers, Jaina is flung out of Thros when a final battle goes awry—into a dead city where a relentless spirit offers a pact: rescue her family and avenge her people, and she’ll return the favor. From burned groves to winter crowns to Drustvar’s bramble, they'll learn trust the long way round—hopefully.
Slow burn; grief, magic, eventual romance, & found family.

Summary
The transfer cable snicked into the port, a horribly loud click.
She had seconds, now, a few hundred heartbeats. Every movement was too loud, every step or breath echoed in his office.She undid her hair, mussed the front of her blouse. Creased a pleat into her skirt.
And then Jaina slid the hard drive and her phone into her briefcase and calmly headed towards the stairs of Menethil Industries like she did every Wednesday.Urban Fantasy AU roulette prompt!

Summary
“You,” the captain said into the intercom. “What did you just do with my ship."
“Nothing your ship didn’t agree to,” the medic sung, balancing on the balls of her feet like she was preparing to dance.
The line went quiet for the two heartbeats it took to file the information away under not to be discussed until we are alive enough to argue about ghosts.
“Jump lane in range,” Crisp said.
“Calculate,” Gaoshun said, without thinking about the fact that he was not the captain and without caring that the hierarchy mattered less than the rhythm of these particular seconds.
