Summary
Nearly two years have passed without a word from Astarion ever since the defeat of the Absolute. Since then, her companions have all moved on swiftly, while Xuan has tried to build some attempt of a quiet, peaceful life—she gardens, she reads, she doesn't have a tadpole stuck in her head—though it seems that Shadowheart and the others are inclined to call her a depressed recluse. Her attempts of peace begin to fracture when a letter arrives from her ex-lover.
(Alternatively, Astarion disappears for two years and tries to come back.)

Summary
Since the end of Hundred Years War seven years ago, Fire Lord Zuko has been isolated in the Fire Palace, fending off assassinations and mending the Fire Nation and its burnt bridges, all while putting off the Fire Sages' demands that he take a wife. When Iroh finally finds him a match, he reluctantly agrees to the marriage, with the expectation of never speaking to her again and sending her off to Ember Island.
It proves to be more difficult than he expects though, when he realizes that his new wife is as stubborn as a dragon moose.

Summary
Oh. So she had feelings for him. Astarion had been trying to seduce her, sure, but he hadn’t thought as far as to make her develop actual feelings for him outside of lust. How different could emotional needs be from physical needs? All he had to do was fulfill them.
“How about if I said these little words… Everyone’s favorite…”
“Don’t—”
“I love you.”
(Alternatively, Astarion says "I love you" for the first time. And the second time, when the first time goes utterly wrong.)

Summary
Evie and Gale seem to have failed in their mission to get along. If they’re not ignoring each other, they’re arguing. The journey to Baldur’s Gate has made them uneasy allies but hardly good friends.
Then a mysterious portal opens up in the Elfsong Tavern. Gale is pulled through and a different Gale emerges in his place.
Evie isn’t surprised to hear that this new Gale has been experimenting with a teleportation spell, one that he mangled so horribly it sent him to a parallel universe. However, she’s very surprised to hear that in this Gale’s home world, he and Evie are very close.
In fact - they’re in love.

"Never promise without knowing what you're promising," grandmother instructs, her voice sharp. "Promise me you'll never allow people to use you, Viktor. You'll never follow mad men who promise you power. You'll always do what is right."
[Or: in which Viktor Krum gets a backstory, falls in love with a lioness and doesn't let her go.]

Summary
Emilia Greene could have gone the remainder of her last year at Hogwarts with Sirius Black having no idea she even existed until he managed to publicly humiliate her in front of the whole school.
In her defence, she thought he deserved more than the slap she gave him.
