Summary
He led her to an aisle of thin, colorful books. Children’s books. He tapped one. “Voila. You see? La Barbe bleue. Yes?” He picked it up and handed it to her. She opened it, flipped through a few pages. Inside were disturbing black-and-white Gothic illustrations.
Fairy tales are so fucked up, Isobel thought. She shut the book and tipped her face to him, chewing her bottom lip. “I don’t understand. I’m sorry,” she told him, then corrected herself in a belated attempt at politeness. “Desole.”
Amusement tugged at the corners of his mouth, but Isobel bristled at the pitying look in his eyes. “You, ma louloute, you are inside his castle, eh?”
Isobel fic that nobody fucking asked for. In an act of rebellion against her father, young Isobel Cartwright runs away with her secret older American boyfriend, but discovers he has secrets of his own.

Summary
At the end of 4x05, Patrice abducts River at gunpoint. This time, they go to a remote, isolated manor where Frank is waiting for them. The slow horses do not see or hear from River again for almost five months. During that time, Frank does his level best to break River and rebuild him into a tool he can use, with Patrice as his assisting shadow. This… doesn’t really work. In fact, the process ends up breaking not River, but someone else.
Meanwhile, Slough House is on overdrive trying to find a missing colleague who the Park is all to quick to deem presumed dead and rubber-stamp his file as such. Louisa almost quits, and finds an odd solace in working alongside Lamb to try to bring their missing agent home. She is having a bad one - the maybe-loss of her best friend is tearing her apart.
It all comes to a head when Louisa follows a lead that she knows better than to follow. She is meant to be the last blow that destroys River's resolve. It doesn't shake out like that. By the time they're both rescued, it's a long road to recovery. But there is a road, and there's help along the way.

Summary
“She tried to get her pocket knife, moving her body as much as possible so she could reach the inner part of her jacket. She shifted and shifted, but he didn’t loose his hand on her neck or his body on hers — quite the contrary, since he made himself closer and moved his hand from her wrist to her waistline. Come on, Sid, you’re a professional. Don’t stand there frozen.
But that was exactly what she did, at least until she heard a voice coming in their direction. Someone said something in French, but, since her ears were ringing, all she could understand was ‘move’ and some cursing.
‘Bridget?’ The voice said, and Sid didn’t hear, putting her hand on her chest and trying to recompose herself. ‘Bridget! Are you okay?’
She looked up and saw blue eyes concernedly looking at her. ‘River?’”
or
River is an assassin, and Sid is the agent who is going to take him down. Whatever it takes.

During a blackout.
With Murphy.
Or...
"You know there have been times over the years where I thought to myself 'Yeah I'd tap that.' Like when you're in your princess warrior mode not your stern mama bear mode... well I mean sometimes... when it's not directed at me..."
"I'm going to kill you." Clarke mutters to herself.
"I'm never going to experience that again." He says a little mournfully.

Summary
Aleksander had waited centuries to meet the sun summoner. When he was young, the idea of a sun summoner had captured him instantly. They would be someone like him, who would understand what it was to be different, even from other Grisha. He would no longer have to be alone with only his mother for company; he would no longer have to hide. As he got older, his expectations for a sun summoner changed. He thought of them as an ally and equal, to stand by him in his fight to protect Grisha. Someone who, like him, would not age, would remain with him long after everything around them was dust and memory. He knew they would be young when he found them, but he would guide them and train them and together they would accomplish miracles. And now the day had finally arrived. The sun summoner stood before him:
Malyen Oretsev
____________Or that story where Mal is mistaken for the sun summoner, rolls with it to protect Alina, Alina hides in bushes and around corners summoning for Mal to keep the charade going, the Dorkling catches feelings, and Ravka is not prepared for these disaster twins
