    Summary

    "First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."

    As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.

    "Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.

    "Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.

    "Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."

    Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.

    "A what?" he asked.

    Summary

    A captive mage to cruel hunters, Jaime has spent years hoping a werewolf pack would break through his wards, freeing the wolves and ending Eskender's quest for gold and blood.

    As a child, he'd dreamed they'd see his pain and be merciful enough to set him free, too.

    When wolves finally find them years later, Jaime only dares to ask for a quick death. He should have known he wouldn't be so lucky.

    Meanwhile, Dimitri and Hearthstone pack are grappling with the loss of their friends and resent their Alpha's choice to keep the hunters' mage and put him to use instead of kill him.

    As time goes on, Jaime's kind nature begins to win the wolves over—but none of them are out of the woods yet.

    Summary

    Conner had a pretty good life, all things considered. He wouldn't necessarily call it a great life, but it was good enough.
    Sure, living alone at Mount Justice with only a robot for company could get lonely sometimes, but he had his independence, his freedom from Lex, and his teammates on Young Justice.

    Unfortunately, no matter how content he was with his life, he could never quite shake the way he ached for Superman's approval. The way his insides twisted when his mistakes were met with harsh words and punishing hands. The way jealousy sunk its claws in deep every time he had to watch Superman and Jon interact. Still, he had a pretty good life, and that was all he needed.

    But when an accident ends with Conner being thrown through a wall and Superman learning that his clone isn't quite as tough as he seems, that pretty good life comes crashing down around his shoulders. Superman insists these changes are for the best, that he's trying to make amends and help, but Conner isn't so sure. Not that anybody ever seemed to care what he thought.

    At least Jon had a pretty cool video game collection. Maybe living with the Kents wouldn't be so bad.

    Summary

    “You’re the Prince?” Merlin says, eyeing him. He hesitates, then adds, defiant, “The Mad Prince of Camelot.”
    Arthur doesn’t move. There’s quiet for a long time, then he says it. “I am.”
    “You don’t seem mad,” he says.
    The smile wells up from somewhere deep, and very sad. “Well, Merlin,” he says, “give me time.”
