“They’re setting up for the live band,” Geralt observed, finishing his pint of ale in one long swallow and gesturing to Eskel to hurry up. “Let’s go.”
“They’re supposed to be decent,” Eskel answered.

Summary
The problem, Bilbo would later tell Gandalf in aggrieved irritation, was not so much the unannounced visitors, oh no, but the fact that due to the lateness of the hour and sheer merciless fate, it came to be that at the respectable age of forty, Bilbo was being introduced to a real, live king while wearing striped pyjamas and fluffy slippers.

Bilbo liked Erebor, he really did. Even if everyone seemed convinced he was going to leave.
In which soil causes international incidents, Thorin is over-dramatic, and dwarves are rubbish at keeping secrets. Oh, and they build a garden. Eventually.

Summary
and there are some like us,
just walking, making our feet move ahead of us,
a little bored, a little lost, a little angry,
walking as though we were really going somewhere,
walking as if there was something to see at Adelaide or maybe on King,
something that will give a fair return for this use of shoe-leather,
something that will make us smile with a strange new
happiness, a lost but recovered joy.- Raymond Souster, “Yonge Street Saturday Night”

Summary
Bucky looks like he’s had a difficult month, what with the eviction notice and all, but that’s not the reason Steve gives for allowing him to stay on his couch.
“You have somewhere to go?” Steve questioned, crossing his arms and attempting to look casual, not like he was worried for Bucky. He stepped into the apartment, ignoring how bare it was.
Bucky paused and gave him an exasperated look. “I’m not completely hopeless.”
A fic spanning from mid-November to early-February.

Summary
Shiro and Keith are princes from neighboring kingdoms whose friendship blooms into something more, the kind of something they can only bear to admit to themselves in clandestine letters and precious gifts.
Not all secrets, however, are meant to be kept – and not all kings are meant to have queens.

Summary
"What do I do?” Steve appealed into the phone. “I’m freaking out.”
There was silence on the other end of the line. It lasted so long that Steve pulled the receiver away from his ear and frowned at it. Pay phones were old. Maybe this one wasn’t working despite the obvious dial tone when he picked up.
“Ok,” a stranger’s voice said over the phone. “First acknowledge the fact that you dialed the wrong number, but be quick about it because my cab is a few blocks away from my own plans and I’m about to drop some truth bombs on you.”

Summary
“Do you believe in destiny?” Bucky asks then. “Soulmates, that kind of stuff?”
“I don't know,” Steve says with a half shrug. “Maybe. Why?”
Bucky turns his head to meet his eye and says, “I think we were destined to meet again.”
OR in which Steve flies to Italy to hike through the mountains in a desperate need to get away after the death of his mother. He expects it to be hard, both physically and mentally, and it is. But what he doesn't expect is to run into his childhood best friend at the airport.

Summary
“What do you want to do?”
Steve pauses and looks at them.
What he wants is to stay with them. He doesn't have any family left, they all died before he even joined the war and became... this. Captain America turned whatever he is now. But Natasha and Sam have become his family over the years. Not just because they're on the run together, fugitives and vigilantes, but way before that too.
He doesn't want to leave that.
But he knows that, realistically, he can't stay with them and they can't stay with him.
So he looks at them with a smile and lies. “I don't know.”
OR; In which Steve retires and finally finds a place to call home.

Summary
Steve's own hair is flat. It falls down over his forehead in straight locks and sweeps slightly to the left and while it's cut as nicely as his ma can with their old scissors because they can't afford to get it cut professionally, it looks nice and neat and like every other boy in the neighborhood.
It's boring, unlike Bucky's.
Steve is nine and thinks this is jealousy.
AKA Steve's ongoing journey on his love for hair — specifically Bucky's.

Summary
“Keith,” Shiro repeats, more urgent, his voice shaking along with the rest of him. He doesn’t know if it’s from pain, shock, fear, or a terrible cocktail of all three. He does know that Keith is Galra.
Keith lets go of him. “What?” he asks, brow lowering and eyes wide. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
He doesn’t know. Shiro sucks in a sharp breath. Keith is Galra, and he doesn’t know.

Summary
They cross paths while Keith’s fleeing the scene of a one-sided fight, tearing his way across a field at a breakneck pace with knuckles still smarting from clocking some bullying upperclassman who’d cornered him behind the gym.
And all Shiro can think about for days after is how desperately he needs the brawling boy with the golden legs to join his football team.

Steve has no idea the dog's a SHIELD agent on the run from HYDRA, but he is starting to suspect that the dog? Isn't really a dog.
