    Summary

    When Byleth first came to Garreg Mach, she was asked to choose which house she would teach.  Though she did not know the students yet, that selection felt as though it was bigger and more momentous than it should have been.  A shot in the dark, a flippant decision made from too little information to risk one's fate on. Despite Rhea's keen interest in her, any other new professor would also have been asked to choose between the Black Eagles, Blue Lions and Golden Deer. It was, at its core, arbitrary.

    The Ashen Wolf House got to know her as a vigilante problem solver before she was ever their professor. They got to see her messy strategies when she was more than a little bit desperate for the win. They got to preview the series of mysteries woven together to make her life. They saw how she could drag people unwittingly into the web of secrets, danger and ancient magic.

    And yet, somehow, despite all that...they chose her anyway.

    Summary

    Everybody had expected Monarch's defeat to be a moment of triumph. Nobody had expected Gabriel Agreste, unmasked and mind frayed from continual abuse of the miraculous, crying out to all who would listen and making Paris certain of one thing:

    His son, Adrien Agreste, is one of his sentimonsters.

    And now he's missing.

    Nobody can find him— not even the superheroes, and not even his closest friends. But Marinette, Nino, and Alya aren't ones to give up so easily. They'll find him, no matter what it takes.

    (But, geez, would it kill Chat Noir to lend a hand?)

    Summary

    (Updated 5/16 with a text transcript of the images!)

    If you've read "And Like The Cycle of the Year We Begin Again", and its sequel "Our Destinies Our Own", you'll enjoy this little text exchange, in which Merlin and Arthur share the news of their engagement with their friends in Avalon...

    ... with some unexpected -- and humorous -- consequences.

    Well. Perhaps not so humorous for Heath. But that's what you get, when you mock a sorcerer. :)

    Summary

    Steve has no plan. Not because he hadn't tried to make one. He'd tried to make lots of plans. Plan, adapt, plan again, tried to think of every contingency.

    And then he'd thrown them away, because there wasn't much point. What could you plan for? He couldn't guess the possible contingencies, the situations, the potentials. And he sure as sure hadn't figured on what's happened now, on coming back to his place and finding Bucky here. He hadn't even hoped for that.

    He hadn't realized he could.
