Summary
To be good at politics, you have to understand people; Zuko’s perception of his own skill in this regard swings wildly on a pendulum between ‘hey I’m actually pretty good at this’ and ‘why am I such a fucking idiot’.

The fic that made me realize I actually really like Mai/Zuko. Note to self: Come back here for inspiration when you write that Mai/Zuko fic you're planning.

Summary
Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.
A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

Summary
Sokka is a man of science, and science says ghosts aren't real. So, he can't be dead... Right?
Too bad science can't explain why the only person who can see or hear him is Prince Angry Jerk.

Summary
Aang knew those swords. He’d seen them every day, felt the warm, if rough, presence of their owner in all his hardest moments and coldest flights. He was a strong figure, gentle in his own way. A Firebender who still used swords.
***
There needs to be more platonic soulmate AUs, you guys. Come on. Who wants to see Zuko get dragged into his redemption arc by his soulmates?
-
Tags
Summary
For his first thirteen years, Zuko was raised in a palace. And yet somehow, it's the three years outside the Fire Nation that seem to count more – at least to the palace staff, who act like he's been raised by fox-wolves.
At first, this only annoys Zuko.
Until he begins to think that the Fire Nation needs more than a formerly-banished prince.

Summary
Caleb Widogast is excited to come across a genuine new spell scroll, even if he can't fully be sure of what it does. Much to his consternation, it turns out to be a love spell -- one he can't turn off! Soon everyone in the Nein has fallen jealously in love with Caleb except for, confusingly enough, Mollymauk. What exactly is it that makes Molly different...?
-
Tags
Summary
Whenever Caleb travels via familiar, he trusts the others to keep him safe. Mollymauk thinks the Mighty Nein take this responsibility too lightly. He’s right.
He knelt in front of the vulnerable wizard. It gave him satisfaction that the human fit neatly between his knees. If he’d wanted to make this short, he could have snapped the man's neck. Instead, he breathed. Something, the warmth or the smell, reached beyond the fey veil. The man stirred and gave a very slow blink, as one in the midst of a dream. His chin tipped up, gazing at the enemy looming over him with unseeing eyes, and in a soft, accented voice that Talisman remembered from the square, he asked, "Fjord?"
An actual sigh of pleasure slipped from his lips. It was too perfect. "No, my dear." He lifted two fingers, and in a voice of Power, he touched the man's temple. "Lock."

Summary
It’s been two weeks since Geralt shouted Jaskier away from him on that mountain and Jaskier has been handling it like a champ by forlornly wandering alone in the wilderness with his lute. When he (literally) stumbles across an injured white wolf he decides to take a chance and see if he can help it, appreciating the irony of the situation but not quite realizing why it is that the wolf’s golden eyes look exactly like his Witcher’s...

Summary
"Geralt is able to scent the guilt on a lying man from ten feet away, to catch sight of half a pawprint in the undergrowth in the dead of night, to know when to lean back before the coming blade can cut through his throat. Much of it comes from his training at Kaer Morhen, where his instincts were honed and enhanced, but even more comes from his travels and experiences while walking the Path. Geralt notices things, because not noticing means death.
He does not notice the lack of singing."
Something is very wrong with Jaskier.

Summary
I brought a dead princess back to life through the power of song is the kind of thing that would have got an eyebrow raise even from the stone-faced Geralt of Rivia, so it's a good thing he and Geralt will probably never see each other again.
(or: the one where Jaskier channels magic through his songs, and it almost never goes as expected.)

Summary
Five years after Naboo, Obi-Wan becomes aware that things between Anakin and Qui-Gon have become... tense. The obvious solution is to mediate their difficulties if at all possible.
That is not what happens.

Summary
written for the kink meme prompt: "Hermann's cane ends up being lost/broken. Until he can get a replacement, he has to (reluctantly) rely on Newt to get around. Cue them wandering around arm in arm. It starts off annoying and a little embarrassing at first, but they soon settle into a routine that even when Hermann finally gets a new cane, they find hard to break."

Summary
Angus comes to Taako because he's worried about the Director. Despite his lingering (and entirely justified thank-you-very-much) anger at Lucretia, Taako goes to check in on her. What he finds is not encouraging.
Alternate title: Taako tries to bully Lucretia out of her suicidal plans and is surprisingly successful.

Summary
After they defeat the Hunger, Lucretia throws herself into the relief efforts and tries not to think about the family that she lost-- the family that she drove away. She deserves their hatred, and knows that there is no chance for redemption.
...Only, they don't seem to agree.

Summary
"At least you won't have to deal with that for much longer," she said absently, running her fingers along the binding of her book.
Taako froze, eyes on her suddenly. "What. The Fuck. Is that supposed to mean."In which Taako and The Director have a heart to heart in her office. (Rated T for Language)

Summary
She was down a dangerous path of thought, and her logical half was screaming at her to call someone before it got worse, call Magnus or Merle or Lup. Even Davenport or Barry could help her out of this sudden episode she found herself in.
She called Taako.
Lucretia, after all the dust surrounding the Hunger settles, is left alone with her thoughts for too long.
