Summary
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known - 1 Corinthians 13:12
Two souls entwine in a dance unlike any other, with steps like scars in the fabric of reality. A meeting that will challenge the foundations of both of their peoples.
Miev is a crafted courtesan turned trophy assassin to a Rogue Trader, the true genius that runs his dynasty. Verithrax is an Archon of unchallenged power and terrifying martial prowess, facing an eternity of agonising boredom.
Both are yoked to a diminished life, doomed to fates they cannot escape, determined by forces far greater than they.
What begins as a gambit - she to increase the affluence of her master and he to stave off his endless ennui - becomes something more. Games of wit and word, of lies and lust, of power and promise unleash something that neither have ever encountered before.
Something they will do anything to pursue, to have, to claim, to protect.
Even unto ruin.
- OR -
A Drukhari and a Human go on a journey of self-discovery together and what waits them at the other end may be a pretty Big Deal. If they survive long enough.

Summary
Courier Six is aligned with the NCR. On paper, at least. But what happens when Boone dies and her loyalty is tested by Vulpes time and time again? A man who isn't willing to give her up so easily?
_____________________________The story begins somewhere mid-way through the game. Benny is dead and Six has started making alliances for the NCR. She has been in a 'relationship' with Vulpes, if you can even call it that. But at the same time, she'd been in a casual relationship with Boone.

Ruination and Renewal by SharkThighSocks

Summary
Scorching the surface of Rykad Minoris left Odessa von Valancius a broken shell of the woman she was becoming, but with no one able to get close enough to look deeper, the Rogue Trader's mask still worked as a face. Until she was forced to dance on the strings of greater powers that led her into the path of a Drukhari Dracon, Marazhai Aezyrraesh. After they predictably kept clashing and unexpectedly kept surviving, he'd have done anything to capture the haughty little human who humiliated him in front of his underlings and kept spoiling his raids.
When Marazhai's trap for her went off without a hitch and his gamble in the Obsidian Court paid off, Odessa found herself trapped in the Spire of the Reaving Tempest, the special little plaything of the newly ascended Archon.
Or more succinctly: Nazrakhei decided to be more self-interested than he was spiteful, and act 3 played out very differently for Marazhai and the Rogue Trader. Contains spoilers for act 4 and 5 plot points.

Summary
Aerianna Targaryen was born second — two minutes after her twin brother Aerion, and in his shadow ever since. At Summerhall, she holds her family together after their mother's death: managing a grieving father who speaks in silence, brothers who need more than she can give, and a twin whose cruelty is matched only by the bond she cannot sever and he refuses to name.
When a courtship draws her to King's Landing, Aerianna must build a life of her own for the first time — away from the keep she ran, the brothers she raised, and the twin whose absence burns worse than his presence ever did. But the distance between them reveals what proximity concealed: that the thing tethering her to Aerion was never a choice, and the thing keeping him from her was never indifference.

Summary
If this were a better outcome than death you would need someone who had died to tell you. A shard of knucklebone lodged itself into your cuticle as you picked loose fibers from your pocket, and you pushed down harder. The burst of pain centered you, and sordidly comforted you—in a world of unknowns, you prided yourself on adaptability. But you did not know what to do with yourself when it came to Ianthe Tridentarius.
And the castle reeked of her.
After her death was stolen, Harrowhark Nonagesimus explored the volatile situation of living with the spare princess of Ida.

It was a curse to be born the second half of a whole.
Aerea just wants to live. To have a life wholly her own, a life of peace, freedom, happiness. But her twin won't let her. They were bound; two halves of a whole, who had come into this world together.
And if Aerion can't have her, he'd make sure no one else did.

Summary
By day, Courier Six and Benny are New Vegas’s golden power couple: polished smiles, stable rule, a story the Mojave can believe in.
Once a month, she vanishes into the desert with a plausible excuse that always leads to the same nowhere town, and the same bed she’s been crawling into since Nipton burned.
Vulpes has never been good at letting go of what he believes belongs to him. Six needs the relief more than she wants to admit. So they keep feeding the habit, even with a ring on her finger, even knowing eventually one of them will have to pay for it.
