Summary
Hank MacLean’s gaze darted back to Lucy where she shifted uncomfortably. “You’ll be safe here. You’ll be happy here, I promise you, Lucy…. Will she be staying another night in medical?”
“No, I believe they’re all done seeing to her. I’ve sent for my husband— he can help her to her room after the doctors clear her. She’ll be perfectly fine with him. Perfectly happy, I bet.” The smile Barb sent Lucy’s way then looked the closest to genuine any had yet, and it was worryingly sharp and calculating.
(Lucy wakes up in a vault. Things go even worse than the last time this happened.)

Summary
"And if I'm honest…"
Spoon clattering as Sebastian stood, taking a breath as he approached her in the doorway.
The stride slow, pointed. Each step an edict.
Up close, he was both more familiar and more alien. Chin dusted with stubble.
Azkaban left fingerprints on him in ways she was still counting.
His eyes were alight with justification. Presented in a low, knowing voice:
"…I think you owe me now, don't you. Since apparently, if not for sheer dumb luck, I'd still be rotting in the cell you and Ominis put me in."
Cara closed her eyes. Tasted metal. "Don't say that."
But Sebastian knew he'd played the winning hand.
She could hear it in the way his voice softened; how he let the silence stretch just enough to burrow under her skin.
"Too late. You don't get to worry about me now, Officer. But if I find any leads, I'll let you know. We know where to find each other."
She inhaled sharply, mind breeding nightmare scenarios like doxies in the dark. Each wilder than the last.
"Fine. But don't overstep."
"Wouldn't dream of it."

"It's not what it looks like," Buck blurts.
Bobby's eyebrows reach for his hairline. "So you weren't violating the one-firefighter-per-shower regulation?"
"We," Buck sputters. "I mean, okay, yeah. We were, but we—"
"We were figuring out breakfast," Eddie cuts in.
"Well, next time, figure it out in different stalls."

Summary
After Hua Cheng disappears in a flurry of silver butterflies, Xie Lian waits for his return. Rumours whisper across the land. Crimson Rain Sought Flower has returned and is ruling over Ghost City. And he doesn't remember Xie Lian at all.

Xie Lian’s teeth begin to chatter. “My enchanted…my…aha—”
“I have never seen a performance quite like it in all my long years. Daozhang must be very experienced in getting his way just by fluttering his long lashes. But is he truly foolish enough to believe this act will work on me? Does he think I will fall for his tricks?”

Summary
Rook survived the Kirkwall Circle. She survived Crow training. She even survived a meeting with the Dread Wolf. But, she's starting to wonder if her sanity will survive the Demon of Vyrantium.
Before Spite, before the Antaam, before his "death" and her defiance, Lucanis and Rook had history together. No, not that kind of history, for all that Rook had wished for it. They were colleagues, and on their better days Rook would have even called them friends. Never mind that she had fallen for him from their first mission together; never mind that she was the one mage he trusted to have his back; never mind that she'd saved his life once already and he'd owed her a debt long before the Ossuary. They'd left too many things unsaid, and what words were spoken before it all fell apart had been shouted in anger.
Now it's the end of the world, and with it, a second chance. But a demon, a Blight, and three Elven gods stand in their way, and the odds for anything good are stacked against them. How fortunate then, that a Rook can rise above anything, and a Crow's stubbornness can spite the gods themselves.
It's just getting out of their own way that's the real problem.

Summary
The first thing Lucanis and Spite agreed on was to escape and get their revenge on everyone that had a hand in the torture and experiments they were forced to go through. They would paint the world with their blood.
The second thing Lucanis and Spite agreed on was Rook. How she smelled, how she laughed, how she touched them with care. When they were near her, it was peace. She teased them both with sweet words laced in mischief, and they both realized that it is possible to want something more than revenge.
The third thing they agreed on was coffee. Because coffee is life.

There’s a beat of supremely awkward silence.
"I've offended you,” Armand says. “My apologies. I crossed a line.”
Yeah, you fucking did.
“No, that’s – it’s fine. I’ll just need my accountant to crunch the numbers on that one, is all.”
Jesus H. Christ, Molloy, what are you doing, you absolute nutjob?

Summary
“I said I’m fine, Alice,” Daniel snaps, and time itself grinds to a halt.
Not literally. Ha. The things you have to specify with vampires. Daniel wishes he could laugh, but the sound is stuck somewhere in his throat, along with his heart. Now, of course, his hand chooses to be perfectly still.
Why the fuck did he say that?
*
daniel keeps slipping up and mistaking armand for his ex-wife and the more he looks back on his memories, the less reliable they get. he's pretty sure he married alice molloy, but how do you marry a woman who apparently never existed?
armand is armand about it.

Summary
The smell is awful.
The smell is infesting his every pore.
The vampire approaches him after a few hours of this stillness. Picks up an extra chair and sits right in front of Daniel. The boy smiles, just as widely, just as with much reverence.
Armand’s curiosity, as he will soon learn, is his downfall.

Summary
“You could have let Louis suck me dry, and worry about the drugs in his bloodstream later.” Maybe Louis would feel a little guilty after he sobered up, maybe not – ultimately, it wouldn’t really matter: Daniel would have been another dead boy brought over to the apartment on Divisadero Street. “You could have dragged him out of the sun, just killed me, and tried to salvage that mess of a situation.” Daniel, disposed of; the tapes, gone; playing the part of a remorseful and caring husband, engaged. “But no, you had to put on a fucked up horror show that went on for days, punishing him through me.” If Daniel hadn't lived, he wouldn't be here in Dubai; and if he were just any award-winning investigative journalist, he still wouldn't have been asked to come here for a re-do interview. “You made me important,” he spells out, a punchline that Armand seemed to be missing, in all this.
“And haven’t I been reaping the fruits of it every night and day for the past forty-nine years,” Armand muses, his sharp fingernail scraping the skin dangerously close to Daniel's hammering pulse point.

Summary
In another world, Akasha's rise and death happened sooner. Vampires are now the dominant species, but humanity is fighting back.
Armand, the vampire Prince of the Damned, is trying to live his undead life under the thumb of Marius, avoid an arranged relationship and help his only friend Louis live through the abandonment of his maker. And the human Daniel Molloy is just trying to avoid the notice of any blood suckers, practice his craft as a reporter and maybe survive long enough to publish the biggest story of his life.
Their worlds are about to collide.

Summary
“You, uh,” Lucifer said eloquently, his eyes jumping up and down Alastor's form. “You use a cane, just like me. That's…nice.”
“Great job, Dad!” Charlie said cheerfully, clapping her hands together in front of her chest. “Now you go, Alastor.”
“Why, thank you for your nice words, your Majesty! In return, I would like you to know that I am quite fond of your hat. It really serves to highlight your… great personality.”
-----
To keep them from trying to commit verbal homicide every time they are in the same room, Lucifer and Alastor are forced to compliment each other as a measure to improve their relationship.

Summary
Gale sighed, preparing for the expected jest, but Astarion surprised him by closing his eyes and nodding thoughtfully before continuing, "Yes, best not to ignite the imaginations of young minds with such allure.”
"Naturally. We wouldn't want budding wizards succumbing to unethical temptations," He gathered his scrolls in a bundle close to his chest and looked up innocently, “Why are you here?”
"A desire to observe your natural habitat," Astarion replied, finding the sight adorable. "And... Tav suggested it might be beneficial for us to… bond."
±+++++++++
Gale and Tav live together as friends while Astarion is missing. Tav begins to fall for Gale. When Astarion returns, they realize he no longer remembers her and instead directs his attention towards a certain wizard.S Chapters:

Summary
Tara flew to his shoulder and gazed down with him, taking in the scene.
“Do you see it?” he whispered. “What…”
“I see it.” She rubbed her cheek against his, her tail curling around his hunched shoulders.
“What does it mean?”
“It means hope, Gale. It means something real.”—
Gale is a divination wizard, but a mere shadow of his former glory.
Aoife is an Oath of the Ancients paladin, haunted by the grief of her past.
A year after their fateful first meeting Aoife's path crosses the Wizard of Waterdeep's once more. But as the two are drawn together, Gale's misfortune with the orb and Aoife's long-held sorrow aren't the only dark shadows cast upon them by the past, and soon their fates become as entangled as the threads of the Weave.

Summary
Crowley likes Aziraphale. He really, really likes him. It's terrible. He can't help it if his one friend is an angel, but also a bastard, and that he really wants to hold his hand and run his fingers the feather-soft curls of his hair and kiss him until he's breathless. It's not his fault that Aziraphale is entirely irresistible. Crowley finds any excuse to pull him closer, and Aziraphale, most of the time, lets him. Isn't friendship amazing?
Six thousand years of dates and Crowley misses the memo.

Summary
How terrible would it be to be told that your ultimate purpose was to fight and destroy? He had seen the pointless boredom of Heaven for the rank and file angels. He knew what they had been told about their place in the Great Plan. Aziraphale was primed for the Metatron’s message. He wanted to believe that he could help.
Crowley drove away from the book shop that day, swearing he would never return. Never lasted less than a week.

Summary
Both of them had lost track of time. For minutes, hours, days, they kissed through tears. Finally, Crowley pulled back, holding Aziraphale's face in his hands, and their foreheads touched. When asked later, he would say that he never understood where he found the strength to say these words. "Leave," he whispered. "Leave, or I'll never be able to let you go."
or
After Aziraphale left for his new position as the Supreme Archangel of the Great Heaven, decades passed. Heaven was getting ready for the Second Coming, as well as Hell. Exactly 168 years after he left, everything came to an end in which God herself cancel the “destruction.” Even though Aziraphale and Crowley have met with each other while they are trying to cease the ineffable plan, they never had their final “reunion.” However, it seems like they will never have it.
