Summary
Zhongli has walked the fields of Teyvat for thousands of years. He has loved, he has lost, and the grief is overbearing. It never dissipates, not even after three thousand seven hundred years. Childe is mortal, all too mortal, and Zhongli must curb whatever strange feelings begin to grow, because he cannot face that pain again. So he's more of a coward than the history books make him out to be: shame, at least, is easier to bear than hurt.
---
“Actually, now that I’m untethered to the divinity of Celestia,” Zhongli said, “I’ve allowed myself to enjoy the pleasures of mortality.”
“Mhm,” Childe said. “You’ve done it, then?”
“What is it?”
“You know.”
“Well, strictly speaking, no.”
“And loosely speaking?”
Zhongli let the silence simmer.
“I’ll take that as a no. Have you ever even kissed anybody?”
“Of course,” Zhongli said, though he wasn’t quite sure why this mortal made him so defensive.
“When?”
“Around four thousand years ago.”

Summary
Grantaire was not a bad agent, really. He just tended to be unnecessarily antagonistic and stubborn and had a penchant for putting himself and whoever he was with into the craziest, most ridiculous situations and then somehow, somehow managing to get them out of it.
Also, he flirted.
Endlessly. Shamelessly. A week ago, he and Grantaire had been been kidnapped and tied to a post, four guns pointed to their heads. That didn’t seem to matter. He flirted with Enjolras, anyway. When Enjolras glared because it was distracting him from thinking, he flirted with the gunmen.
At that point, Enjolras shouldn’t have expected any less, but holy fucking hell, it worked.

Les Amis de l'ABC is an independent intelligence agency serving not the French government, but the people.
In the middle of a seemingly normal mission, things go sideways. One of their agents fails to defuse a bomb and is taken out with it. Their existence and their ideologies are thrown into question.
Patron-Minette is a large, underground syndicate with selfish ideals, waging destruction for personal gain. On the same night, they gain a new recruit.
Who Grantaire really works for - well. It's a bit unclear.

Summary
“- I’m always right,” Montparnasse said, matter-of-factly. “Here you go.”
Grantaire stared at the glass in front of him. It was filled with intensely pink liquid, smelling strongly of alcohol and of something nauseatingly sweet. “What is this?”
“A glass of whatever.”
Grantaire seemed to consider this. It took him some moments to come to his conclusion, but he looked up at Montparnasse eventually. “You’re a terrible bartender.”
“That will be eight euros.”
“This is highway robbery,” he informed him, handing him a pink note from his wallet.
“Ah, I haven’t done that in some time,” he said, but seemed happy enough to take Grantaire’s money.

Summary
This is the story of how alcohol stopped tasting bitter and became sweet instead.
A story of how coincidences, eye contacts and incidental touches can change how we see the world, or rather, how the world presents itself to us. A story of three bars, of brandy, of pink cocktails and of instants that last precisely ten heart beats, not more, not less. This is a story of friendship, in its most simple and purest form, but more importantly, a story bringing joy back into the craved necessities of life. -

Summary
"I remembered it being difficult, when everything was still happening. Now it was over and you’d think it would be easier. But at least in the present, I knew it was real. Now it was the past and I didn’t know anymore what was real. Was it the future? Was it all me? If it was truly over, was I too?"
Following canon as loosely as possible, this is Draco a month after Voldemort's death, incapable of feeling at ease in Malfoy Manor. This is Draco leaving to find himself far away from the past. This is Draco returning to Hogwarts years later to meet someone who finally sees him for who he wants to become, not for who he used to be. This is Draco, not entirely making it back into the present-tense of life, but bringing life back into the present-tense, struggling, but brave.

Summary
Sometimes, only sometimes, when Sherlock is very far away and absolutely guaranteed not to return for at least three hours, John sits on the sofa and lets the tea make itself.
In which John is (reluctantly) a wizard, Mycroft is (apparently) omniscient, and Sherlock is (surprisingly) oblivious.

Love In The Cathedral by french_crap

Summary
"Murder in the Cathedral is a verse drama that portrays the assassination of Archbishop Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, heavily drawn on the writing of Edward Grim, a clerk who was an eyewitness to the event." Wikipedia about the Play by T.S.Elliot. Taking this as starting point I would summarize it as following:
"Love in the Cathedral is a fanfiction that portrays the love affair of Archbishop Thomas Becket and King Henry II, which ended with a murder in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. It is heavily drawn on what was told us in history class by my history prof, who - although old - wasn't an eyewitness to the event."
