Summary
All Clarke Griffin wants is to stop a war (and maybe get through her heat without suffering too much). All Commander Lexa wants is to protect her people (and maybe forget the tragic death of her mate for a few days). When a sudden burst of acid fog leaves them stranded together in an isolated bunker, the two of them will have to find a way to deal with each other—and with their very inconvenient desires.

Summary
"Eloise did not dream of white knights on trusty steeds or gallant princes from faraway lands come to whisk her off to a castle that might as well be a jail cell. Once she might have dreamt of a handsome printer’s assistant in a grubby print shop. Once she might have dreamt of the smell of rose water on skin and the sound of a tinkling laugh that delighted in everything she said. Now she dreamed only of freedom."
In which Eloise is an unsatisfied spinster and travels to Wales to meet a friend.

Summary
Welcome to most AU to ever AU (some weird bastard hybrid of high fantasy and sci-fi).
Alicent comes from the most patriarchal nonsense world imaginable, and her planet (Westeros) began a war with Rhaenyra’s planet (Valyria) because Criston Cole is a homophobic ass.
Following the war’s end, Rhaenyra realizes during treaty negotiations that Alicent (Cole’s fourth wife) is living her worst married life, and so demands that Alicent remain on Valyria as a sign of goodwill.
Alicent is scared out of her mind (Rhaenyra gained a terrifying reputation during the war) and traumatized beyond belief.
Rhaenyra is determined to show Alicent that she isn’t a threat (while also dealing with her own baggage on the side).In short, this is a hurt/comfort, eventual romance slow burn wherein Alicent finally gets some therapy and Rhaenyra just wants to hug her and wrap her up in a warm blanket (as do we all).
They will eventually fall in love.
Or:
Rhaenicent set on a world I’ve spent the past 20+ years building because I have no life or chill.Series

Summary
Ten years ago, Regina and Emma made headlines as the top fighting team in the United Realms. Together, they won competitions and wowed the universe. And then, on the eve of the championship match, Regina disappeared. Emma kept fighting, but never with a partner again.
Now, Regina has returned to the fight with a team of women determined to take the entire championship at any cost. The only thing standing in their way? A hurt and angry Emma Swan and her team.
And in the arena, the fight for victory will take more out of both of them than they'd ever anticipated.

Summary
Just days after Emma announces her engagement, Regina is found in her vault without any memory of the past five seasons. The newly returned Mayor Mills is caustic, scheming, unnerved by her own future, and loves only Henry– and she might see more clearly than anyone around her.
Then again, that might not be for the best.

Summary
It had been a simple dare, one that had made sense when Emma had been two drinks away from passing out. She doesn’t know what exactly Ruby had done to bind it– is still very new to magic as a real thing, flowing through Storybrooke– but it’s now a dare she can’t back off on.
Ruby had laid out the rules, more and more smug as she had gone on. “So if Regina wears a red dress, you have to pick a fight with her.” Emma hadn’t questioned that one. “But if she wears blue, you have to give her a compliment. And if she wears grey, you gotta call her Your Majesty.” She’d been a little drunk, too, enough that she’d gotten bold. “Light colors mean you have to tell her whatever’s on your mind. Whatever.” Her eyes had narrowed in ominous delight. “And for black…for black, you have to flirt with her.”

Summary
Emma almost has everything. She's got a wonderful son, a beautiful, tender friend and co-parent, and a family she can count on. It was all she ever dreamed of, once upon a time. At times, she thinks she finally understands what authors mean when they end their story with: they lived happily ever after.
But the feeling always leaves her by the morning. Sometimes she thinks her real happy ending has disappeared somewhere in the past, somewhere in between the curses and forgotten memories. And now it is only a possibility lost to her memories.
If she could go back...
(or in other words, season 6 emma goes back in time and accidentally makes season 1 regina fall in love with her.)

Summary
“It’s only the first year,” Rhaenyra used to say, broken down at the breakfast table by the window in their London flat with her head in her hands. “It’ll get better, after this. We just need to right our ship.”
It was loving in the beginning.

Summary
What I have attempted to do is to write a Conqueror story as if it were written for X:WP instead of HTLJ. In addition, there’s a bit of Remember Nothing in here, only this time, it’s Gabrielle who has the memories while Xena does not. Confusing? Read on.

Summary
Xena the Merciless feels like her world is finally settling down into something she might even start to enjoy. The summer harvest was good, people are showing up for her Harvest Festival, and Gabrielle has traded some storytelling to a Persian prisoner for some tips on massage. The only clouds on her horizon besides the usual winter storms was that message she sent to the King of Persia along with his daughter's head. What, really, could go wrong?

For years now, Lunacy has been after me to write a Conqueror story. I never was that fond of Armegeddon Now, but Lunacy lives in Miami, and knows where my house is. So – as a compromise, I decided to write a sorta kinda conqueror type story and here it is.

Clarke is only three days into being a runaway when she realizes that she did not fully think this through. When she walked away from Camp Jaha, she took only herself, a handgun with limited ammunition, and the gnawing guilt inside her. Three days without food, water, fresh clothing, or bedding of any kind, however, and she is painfully aware of how foolish that decision had been.

Summary
Clarke feels a pair of strong arms wrap around her before she can reach the ground, holding her steady.
“I’ve got you, Clarke.”
Lexa’s voice is impossibly soft, and she continues to hold her upright with relative ease. Clarke moves to grip the front of the jacket Lexa’s wearing tightly with both hands, devolving into sobs before her.
“Don’t let me go,” Clarke chokes out, balling the jacket so tightly in her hands that her knuckles begin to hurt. "Please don't let go."
(or, an epilogue)
