Summary
“Okay, heartbreaker,” he says, “how much to put the tires back on the car?”
Jason rolls his eyes and gestures at him with the lug wrench. “Why don’t I just beat you up and steal your money? Is this the first time you’ve been to a bad part of town? Don’t show me your wallet, asshole. Come on.”
The man heaves a heavy, aggrieved sigh and starts pulling out bills. “Five hundred?” He tries. “Six? We can go to an ATM.”
“You are mugging yourself,” Jason says, oddly impressed. “Holy shit.”

Summary
Jing Yuan belongs to himself. The words are unfaltering truth acknowledged aloud, and Dan Heng uses that unbendable force to slice at the remaining fetters of cataclysmic energy. Jing Yuan belongs to himself, and by his own assertion he belongs to the Xianzhou Luofu—
And then, because the damage wrought by Phantylia's forced link continues to fester even as he severs the very last chain, Dan Heng will claim Jing Yuan under his protection, and offer up his own energy to bind the spiritual wounds until the damage heals itself.
Dan Heng gathers his considerable power, and wills this reality into existence—
—and he belongs to me.
(Dan Heng learns to reconcile the past with the present and to forge his own path on the Xianzhou Luofu – and finds that although the Luofu holds plenty of former allegiances that he no longer wishes to adhere to, a rare few have managed to eel their way into his affections and earn the protection of his dragon heart all the same.
Jing Yuan is foremost amongst them.
Set immediately after the 1.2 Trailblaze Mission, A Dragon Gallant, Its Ocean Distant).

Summary
Recognition bleeds into Dan Heng’s face. Cloud-Piercer dissipates into glowing vapor; then his horns, his long hair. His clothing resolves itself back into the coat and dark shirt Stelle is familiar with, equally damaged, scuffed and bloody and frayed when Stelle has never seen him with so much as a hair out of place.
“Stelle,” he says, and then it’s like all of his strings are cut at once. He falls.
Hoolay takes Dan Heng instead.

Summary
[Noctis had told his friends he remembered very little of his decade in the crystal.]
[Noctis had lied.]
Trapped in Reflection, Noct discovers Bahamut isn’t quite the benevolent deity he’s made himself out to be. Feeding on death, the Draconian waits in anticipation for Noct’s final sacrifice. And as the sun rises at last, Umbra offers Ignis, Gladio, and Prompto an alternative—but with a catch.
Now, back in a world of light, the four of them discover that behind every happily ever after is a big flaming mess of new problems—from angry gods, to relentless Niffs, to the fallout of a decade spent in darkness, to trying to figure out what exactly is wrong with Noct.
And, as each man battles his daemons, Noct himself finally learns—once and for all—that no one is an island.

Desert Glass by Leonis_Lucidae, StrangeDiamond

Summary
A mass grave is discovered at the edge of the desert, and in it 20 corpses with strange circuitry-like marks on their skin, and masks fused to their faces – masks inscribed with a strange, nearly extinct language that can only be read by a dangerous, reclusive Eremite Tribe . . . and, inexplicably, by Alhaitham.
Perhaps he should be more bothered by the fact that he never actually studied or learned this language than he is, but as Alhaitham heads out to investigate the grave with Cyno, to learn what happened to these people, there are plenty more pressing problems to worry about. Assassins, betrayal, and ancient secrets plague them on their path to uncover a dangerous plot that threatens all of Sumeru, and suddenly it’s all they can do to survive. With allegiances shifting like the desert sands and primordial powers stirring, Cyno suddenly finds himself unsure of who can really be trusted, while Alhaitham . . . Alhaitham finds himself in a fight for his very soul . . .

Summary
At first, Wade is pretty sure it all starts with the bullet- the one Logan had held in his teeth and spit out like it was a prize.
Or maybe it starts in the Honda Odyssey.
Or maybe it had started way back with Logan's smile. That first sardonic one when they'd met.
Or maybe it's the way Logan is always staring at him.
Or maybe-"I think you're enjoying this too much."
"Maybe you're not enjoying it enough."
It’s more bite than kiss, more claim than caress, but it’s their mouths connecting all the same, and Wade gasps, hoarsely, as blood wells up from his lips and Logan tongues it away like it’s his god-given right. Oh, oh oh, oh- he’s crazy. He’s so crazy. Wade has never wanted anyone so badly in his entire life.Wade tries to figure out where whatever he has with Logan started. (And he's kind of hoping he never has to see how it ends.)

Summary
But said paladin immediately frowns, “Categorically not when I’m asleep. If I’m losing blood I want to be conscious and consenting.” Astarion doesn’t get why he wouldn’t take the easier option, but then he notices a pink flush creeping up Revenant’s neck and ears… and it occurs to him that maybe he’s misread the situation. The stilted-ness isn’t unhappiness, it’s fluster.
Revenant also knows he’s flustered, and exhales in short, sharp annoyance. He squares his shoulders and continues in a forcibly stern tone, “My proposition is - that I’ll let you bite me, but I want to bite you back.”
It’s Astarion’s turn to be caught off guard, “Excuse me?”
-
(Or: a self-appointed vengeful ghost meets a vampire spawn, and reluctant sparks fly. Loosely follows the BG3 plot with canon divergence to keep it interesting. Astarion/Tav, but they’re both terrible at romance.)

Summary
If this were a different story, Zack thinks, he would be using his last moments to remember kind, green eyes and a sweet smile. He would be staring out into the raining sky, life running out of him, while making peace with the fact that he would never see his first love again. If this were a different story, Zack would not be left empty-handed, crying out as his friend stumbles away into the remnants of a battlefield. He would not be praying for that blond head to turn, aching to capture the final sight of a cherished face before locking it behind two lids.
No, this does not feel like a fitting end to this story at all―and Zack overflows with the one childish thought that this is unbearably unfair. In the rare moments that he, as any soldier must, contemplated his death, he never imagined that he would die alone.

Summary
After a month of silence, Diego's girlfriend showed up at 2:00 in the morning on Klaus' doorstep.
"I need your help."
Klaus blinked sleepily at her, still half-asleep and more confused than fearing for his life (considering she'd tried to kill his family). Then his bleary eyes took in the way she was trembling, and the slightly manic glint in her eyes. He noticed the wailing ghosts that were following her and the way she seemed to flinch at their shouts.
("Klaus," Ben would've warned him if he were there, that reprimanding tone saved just for when he was doing something particularly stupid.)
(Ben wasn't there. He was gone.)
Klaus blinked at Lila again before pulling the door open wider and shuffling to the side. "Come in."

Take My Hand (Life Could Be Better Than This) by Shadowscast

Summary
It's 2015. Ben is dead, but he's doing his best to keep his brother alive. It's not easy, when Klaus's first priority is to stay high all the time.
In the midst of a particularly rough patch, the ghost of a soldier shows up claiming to know Klaus from the Vietnam War. Weird, right?
But as it turns out, a timely intervention by this dead soldier may just turn everything around—Klaus's relationship with his siblings, his relationship with his powers, and (does Ben even dare to hope?) his relationship with drugs.
(What is this fic about, actually? I'm going with: Klaus/Life enemies-to-lovers slowburn.)
