Summary
Since the beginning of time, Agni had not joined his fellow Spirits. He stayed up in the Sky, called the material world his home, and wanted no part of his brethren's Realm.
Since the birth of the Avatar, Agni recognized no bond with them. He had a chosen, the ruler of his people was his own bridge to the mortal world, and the Avatar could thus speak for all Spirits except for one.
Since the beginning of the war, Agni was cursed by his fellow spirits as a traitor to his kin whilst his people trampled the world. And Agni raged and seethed at his people, at the Fire Lord who had turned away from him whilst still claiming to speak for him.
For the past three years, Zuko has just wanted his father and the Sun's forgiveness. He does not yet know those are not the same.

Summary
After demonstrating his brilliance in the latest Military campaign, Major Armitage Hux of the Hussars ought to have been rewarded by the respect and admiration of England’s Upper Crust. Instead, he finds that blood and heritage are still the sole currency of value, and that his merit is worth very little in the face of the mediocre House his father has saddled him with.
However, when he finds himself implicated in a covert plot to restore England to the past glory of its Imperialistic days, he sees the opportunity to satisfy his ambition and achieve the greatness he deserves. To reach the top of society, it is far easier to bring it down first.
It would have been a straightforward plan, were it not for the intervention of one Lord Kylo Ren. All too soon, Hux finds himself swept away by an impossible man, the rise of appetites and affections he has long tried to bury within himself, and the discovery of a power that goes beyond what mere science might explain.

Summary
There once was a lead soldier with a crack on his face, who lived under the bed where forgotten toys go.
There once was a doll on the upper glass shelf, where fragile things are kept out of reach.
There were many things between them: a whole room, a whole shelf, a Shadow that slithered under the bed. And something bigger still, that would allow them to overcome all of it.

Summary
Ever since the day the nameless prince met the cultivator with golden eyes and yellow robes, he had been aware of the monstrous thing in that cultivators shadow. Ever since he’d heard the whisper ‘this is the will of the heavens’, he’d known the truth about Shang Qinghua and his ‘System’
It did not matter if the shattered aspects of his primal god were preying upon each other. All that mattered was setting Shang Qinghua free.- Language:

Summary
Geralt is just supposed to pass through the quiet Lettenhove area. He's not anticipating being begged by its people to help save their viscount from a curse that keeps him from daylight. Lord Jaskier, they call him, and he's likely dying.
As Geralt struggles to untangle the ugly web of history that has lead to the increasingly complicated curse, he finds himself spending more and more time with the strange young viscount and wondering just what he might have been before the curse, and who he might be after. But things are not always as they seem, and as the curse tightens its grip on Jaskier, Geralt is forced to face the fear of failing yet another person whose choices were stolen from them.
Or-
Jaskier is kept from becoming a bard. Geralt finds him anyway.

Summary
"Why -" he gestures expansively towards Jaskier, his lute, the forest around them, his swords now strapped to Roach "- are you doing this?"
A bard seeking fortune wouldn't watch Geralt across the fire with eyes half-full of tears that he didn't bother to blink away. An artist looking for a muse wouldn't press close, desperately close, against Geralt's side until he finally gave in and turned his head. A young man after a quick fuck wouldn't grip Geralt to him hard enough to bruise even a witcher.
The way Jaskier looks at Geralt makes him think he should know the answer already, but he doesn't, he doesn't.
"Because I know you," he says at last. "Because I have known you. Because I will know you. Isn't that enough?"
(One day, Geralt will understand that it was the closest thing Jaskier will ever have to a goodbye, and it's enough, it's enough.)

Summary
“Hello?”
She whirls around on her knees, gasping as she looks up at the most handsome face she’s ever seen. He’s tall and broad-shouldered, red on his breast like a robin, his eyes the prettiest blue, wide and staring at her.
He seems just as struck by her as she is by him. Her cheeks color, flushing under his scrutiny where she is on her knees. She tries to right herself, but finds that her knees are unsteady, her ankles weak. She stumbles and he reaches forward to catch her, his strong arms wrapping around her without thought.
He’s warm and so large, he’s perfect. The machine flashes with joy inside her skull, urging her onward, filling her with the urge to touch him, to press close, to soothe his aches and reward his bravery for finding her.
She stares up into his eyes, smiles so brightly, and puts her hand upon his chest. His heart is racing too, at the same pace as hers. “There you are, Darling,” she murmurs, and cups his cheek. “What took you so long?”
