Summary
“How can I help you?” he asks when his eyes land on a head of blond waves. The man’s facing the phone in his hand so intently, Merlin worries for his eyesight. “Sir?”
The customer’s eyes are cool and light when he looks up. They remind Merlin of his favorite tea. The blond clears his throat like he’s coming out of a daze.
“Apologies. I’d like a medium iced chai and… just a second.” His eyes flicker down to his screen. “I’m meeting someone here and they haven’t sent me their order yet,” he explains.
Merlin crosses his fingers behind his back and hopes for catastrophe. No matter how pretty the boy in front of him may be (and he’s very pretty, for the record. Upsettingly pretty), Merlin hopes his date is a trainwreck.
Karma for coming in at 7:30 when they close at 8:00.
Or: 5 times Merlin sees bad first dates + 1 time he sees a good one.

Summary
Eddie doesn’t realize until he gets back from the Upside Down just how much he’s ached for Steve.
That’s what he calls it when he confesses from his hospital bed: an ache. Not yearning or pining or some elementary crushing, but a physical pain that was always there, dull at times and downright searing at others.
But now that he’s home, he finds that Steve’s good at healing that ache in him.
(He’s really good at it.)
Or: an exploration of Steve and Eddie's relationship throughout the years following ST4.

Summary
It’s not as if everything’s sunshine and rainbows, of course. There are still times when Catra feels like bearing her teeth and lashing out against everyone she loves. There are still times when she flinches away from Adora’s touch. There are still times when, despite all the progress she’d made, Catra just can’t find the strength to let herself be happy.
It’s hard. Really, really hard.
But she’s choosing to work for it, anyway.
or: a small glimpse into Catra's mind as she begins to let herself heal.

Summary
When Jaskier, drunk and impulsive, applied to be on the next series of The Great British Bake Off, it was only as a joke.
Mostly.
When he was stood behind a seafoam counter while Noel Fielding asked about his earrings, it started to feel a little less funny.Or: Jaskier winds up on Bake Off and placed behind a tall, broody baker with beautiful hair. Panicked pining ensues.
