Summary
When an underhanded hacking corporation swipes the personal information of Walt Disney World's newest interns, once-famed security consult Jeralt Eisner is recalled to his old haunt in a last ditch effort to save those whose identities have been compromised. Now Byleth Eisner, the newly-appointed Disney College Program Coordinator, must simultaneously mentor the students oblivious to this breach and uncover the villains scheming to manipulate them.
But to her students, this mentorship program seems to be nothing more than a competition - one meant to determine which of the Disney heirs deserve to inherit the company: the Black Eagles of Patterson Court, the Blue Lions of Chatham Square, or the Golden Deer of Vista Way?
One year to claim the victory. One year to conquer the villains. One year in the happiest place with the bleakest secrets.

Summary
“You...you did it!” From her hiding place, Peaches pointed at their unconscious opponent. “You did magic!”
The realization pierced Bethany more than any Mabari’s bite. A human. An ordinary, everyday, gossip-mongering human had witnessed the miraculous. Her friend watched her become what she hated the most: a criminal, an outcast, a heathen.
Imminent danger prompts a magical awakening within Bethany that forces her to accept the bitter truth: no matter what she wanted, nor how far she ran from sorcery, she would always be her father's daughter.

Summary
“You have had ten years to play. Speak truly with me, Morrigan: why have you come here?”
“Because you and I share a particularly insatiable appetite.” Morrigan rose from her resting place. Her heels clicked like newly-picked locks against Skyhold’s stone floors. “A hunger for answers. Answers we cannot, despite our best efforts, discover on our own.”
Leliana insists that the Maker show her a sign of her Warden's safety. Instead, He sends an unexpected - and unwelcome - answer.

Summary
Here, in a pocket between the planes, mother and son could forget the fears of their former world. Morrigan could discard her demons: impassioned templars, forsaken mothers, fathers who left their wife and child without sanctuary. All abandoned in a land beyond the Eluvians.
But Kieran could not forget what greeted him when his mind drifted into oblivion.
Morrigan comforts her insomniac son the night before their departure, out from the temporary protection of the Crossroads and into a world even worse than Kieran's nightmares could predict.

To Champion Their Cause by MidknightMasquerade
Fandoms: Dragon Age II, Dragon Age - All Media Types, Dragon Age (Video Games)
14 Jan 2017
Tags
Summary
"Well then, Fenris, I believe I only have one question left for you. Is that alright?" Fenris leans in, intrigued, but only nods. He appears to appreciate the request for permission. "What do you plan to do with your newfound freedom?"
Fenris' eyes fall to his lap, somehow seeming vulnerable for the first time since they started. "I had forgotten that I am free now, that I can do as I please. Not once in a decade had I considered it, but now...now I know." His face flips up, that same burning resolution he recognized in Aveline now ignited inside of Fenris.
"I will fight for others who cannot free themselves."
Hawke has sought a cause to fight for his entire life. Kirkwall crawls with crime, ridden by need and despair, yet no social injustice stirs his soul into action. Aveline has one last failsafe - the discovery of the recently-rescued sex slave, Fenris, could be the key to unlocking Hawke's inspiration. Between the Templars' prejudice and Tevinter's corruption, a revolution brews in the shadows. Perhaps a ragtag group of misfits can quell the conflict before it consumes the masses.

Summary
"That must be some spell you have them under."
"I'm afraid there's no real magic at play here. I'm no magician, and even if I were, I can't imagine I'd be a very good one." Rhajat rushes to react, but he holds up a single finger that silences her. "However, consider this - the arcane arts aren't the only type of magic that exists out there." Oh, how she wishes she could correct him. After all, she knows all there is to know about the supernatural. Shouldn't she be the one educating him? Still, despite her studies, she knew no answer to this enigma.
"Why, Rhajat, aren't you already aware? Melodies hold a magic all their own."
In which introductions between two unlikely allies leads to an enchanting connection - but all magic comes with a price. [Shigure/Rhajat] [Canon-Divergent Revelations Route]

Summary
They couldn't be telling the truth. None of them knew, not one? Not even Corrin? Kamui? ...no one? How could they stay secluded in their self-centered bubbles, their isolated little worlds inside of this university that stood so strong but could crumble in an instant, that they stayed clueless as to the current events? How could they be so blissfully ignorant? How sorrow claimed her soul then, how it wrung her heart dry. This single statement could break Corrin's heart. This single statement could rend their already-fragile families in two. This single statement could change the state of their entire world. With a broken breath, the harbinger of doom delivered her report.
"Hoshido and Nohr have declared war."
When college life meets modern warfare, two families torn apart choose to seek either reconciliation or utter annihilation. War, they say, is the answer of those who have no arguments left.

Envy by MidknightMasquerade for AlphaStarr
Fandoms: Fire Emblem: If | Fire Emblem: Fates
21 May 2016
Tags
Summary
“Are you envious of Felicia?”
What a ridiculous question. Such an absurd assumption from some mere stranger, spoken to a lovely lady like her - the nerve! Why, she had half a mind to mend such a misconception that instant. Or rather, she would, if only such accusations were false. “My, Prince Leo, what big eyes you have,” she mocked, her sarcasm as icy as the winter winds that wrapped themselves around the throat of her uninvited visitor. Winds were warnings to those who wound their way too deeply into her privacy. “Your perceptiveness is truly unrivaled, if you are to notice such truth with naught a hint to tell of it. Tell me, whatever gave it away, hmm?”
“For one, you might want to ease your emotions, lest that staff you’re holding snap in half.”
Envy (n.) - "a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck"

A Mother's Medicine by MidknightMasquerade

Summary
"Without another word, Flora wrapped her arms round and round that tiny torso until she enveloped her daughter in her embrace and she herself had found her face buried in the blanket of her baby girl. It smelled of the sunflowers that surrounded this estate, of the subtle scent of snow that sent memories of the Ice Tribe to the surface of her mind once more, and of the lingering aroma of illness that saturated the house of the diseased. 'I will never leave you, ever again.'"
Flora makes an unexpected stop at her daughter's estate to celebrate Mother's Day and discovers Kana sick as a wolfskin. What better medicine than motherly love, hot soup and the reconciliation of a dysfunctional family?
