Summary
After leaving Moiraine behind at the Eye of the World, Rand wanders southward, until he runs across the city of Cairhien, and discovers someone there he hadn't expected to see ever again.
Rand studied the man in disbelief.
His dark hair was longer now, enough so that he needed to reach up every now and then to push it back as he flirted with the stall vendor. His beard was shorter, or not so much shorter but a different shape — the sides were shaved off, that was the difference. His clothes were still as messy and disheveled as ever but… finer fabrics, more vibrant shades, cut more tightly against the silhouette of his body.
He finished paying for his food — a meat pie, it looked to be — and, after one last smile to the vendor, he started walking away.
As if drawn by a tether, Rand followed.

Summary
When Mat Cauthon spots a tall man hurrying around a corner in Tear, he's sure it can't be Rand, and yet he calls out his name anyway.
Mat had been sleeping in inns or in cabins on boats, for most of his trip to Tear. Rand looked like he'd spent it in the woods the whole way. Mat hurried over to Rand and reached out to pat him down, make sure he wasn't hurt-
-paused with his hands not quite touching Rand's shoulders.
The bloody Dragon Reborn.
Yet it was hard to be scared of Rand when he looked like a bedraggled puppy. "What are you doing here?" he chided, and he forced himself to touch Rand's shoulders. It didn't feel any different than it would have before he knew the truth.

Summary
Stiles assesses the pile of board games for a long moment before pulling out one in particular and dumping its contents on Scott's floor. “We need a plan like Mouse Trap. Look. We'll call it How To Avoid All Of Life's Obstacles And Win Isaac's Heart."
Scott laughs. "What the hell, Stiles, he's not a piece of cheese."
"Okay, but," Stiles waves a hand at the mess of a board game as he starts to set it up, "it's like, a metaphor for your life, dude. You are the mouse. Isaac is the cheese. This boot thing - I dunno what that is, but it's not good."

Summary
How Francesco finds hope and home.
(modern AU) Jacopo is dead. His funeral is enough to bring Francesco home from where he’s been living and working as a historian in Rome. Now in his mid-twenties, he’s been estranged from his uncle since he was eighteen and avoiding Florence since then too. Back for the foreseeable future, he’s struggling to deal with being back while simultaneously trying to figure out what the hell he’s going to do with the Pazzi bank. Once in Florence, however, he’s struck with the unexpected complication of coming face to face with an old childhood friend.

Summary
Over the years Draco has learned that there are two types of magic: boring magic, and evil magic. There really isn’t much more to it than that. At least, there isn’t until he has Astoria and Scorpius.
