Summary
Miss Violet Hilton is engaged to be married to Buddy Foster on such-and-such a day... the announcement reads.

Summary
Anya dreams of a hallway with a light at the end, of being safe and warm, of a prince kissing her on a bridge in Paris. Each dream is important in its details; if she lets one go one then perhaps the others will slip away and take the clues to her past with them. She can’t know when - can’t know if - they’ll become reality, but she’s never had difficulty chasing them.
She’s also never glanced up at Gleb Vaganov in a narrow alleyway and found him half-swayed toward her, his gaze pinned to her mouth.

Summary
Deputy Commissioner Vaganov came back from Paris without all of himself, the girls decide, but they need him because the only thing worse than being an informant is being a former informant, so they must fix him.

Summary
A series of disjointed prompts based on the concept of Gleb taking a third, not-quite-resolution option to the problem of the Grand Duchess, and landing him and Anya in rural France with wedding rings and far too much bitterness.

Summary
Praetorian Jack isn’t frightened of her. But neither has he tried to press his interest. He’s like the History Men: observing, but not acting. There’s a disciplined stillness about him that draws Furiosa like a crow to a corpse.

Summary
It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.
The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.
Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.
The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

Summary
The Force moves in mysterious ways, and sometimes it even has its own agenda. Rey finds herself caught in a battle with fate that throws her together with Kylo Ren, binding them together in the most powerful way possible... only to have fate drop her like a hot potato.
A broken Force Bond isn't the easiest thing to bear, especially when the one you're missing is your sworn enemy and the father of your child.
Warning: Parenting: Skywalker Style.
(Kind of a deconstruction of the X-made-them-do-it-to-have-a-child fics, which always seem to end once a kid is born, whereas I'm more interested in what comes AFTER the not so happily-ever-after.)

Summary
Short synopsis: Kate and Petruchio return home post-final-curtain, and celebrate their confoundment of Kate's family by returning their relationship to its normal dynamic.
This fic is especially for those who might find The Taming of the Shrew a bit . . . problematic, even through a historical lens, unless heavy doses of mitigating subtext are projected into the mix. This is subtext that may help, or at least make a difference. (Or possibly ruin the play for you forever, in which case, oops, you probably should have read the tags and warnings more carefully.)
Warnings: BDSM (consensual); some sexual content

Summary
"I've earned myself a reputation / That my bark is much worse than my bite / But I keep snapping at Goliath's hands / With all of my tiny might." - The Crane Wives, 'Take Me to War'.
“My Khal,” says Mirri, peering up at him, squinting in the dark to make out the lines of his face, the slope of his broad shoulders, his hands clenched at his side, “and if I must choose between the mother and the child?”
He steps towards her, then, and she falls back with silent terror for an instant. But he does not seize her, only grinds out, “Save my son. He is the Stallion-Who-Mounts-the-World. He will rule the great Grass Sea and the stones of the West.”
Ah, she thinks. And such hope I had for you, Drogo. But there is nothing. You are no shepherd, not even to a single lamb. You are the wolf, or better yet, the wild dog, and there is nothing in you but howling greed.
