Summary
“Is that what you really think?” There’s less bite to her words than what she would’ve wanted but Rin suddenly feels the anger bleed out of her all at once like an open wound. “That I’m not afraid every time I’m out there?”
Flying was my escape, she wants to say but doesn’t. That had sounded like what you’d tell someone when you let them in, so she settles for something else. “Flying’s the only time I don’t think about dying.”
“Funny,” he says, and maybe it really isn’t that funny at all because there’s gravity in his voice and in the space between them; she feels the force that must've kept them in orbit the same way tides have always turned towards the moon. Rin takes a chance when she reaches out and places her hand at the crook of his neck, spreading her palm against the hollow of his throat. Nezha swallows and Rin trails her fingers up until she reaches his lips.
“I think about it all the time,” he confesses. His voice is low, the sound muffled in the palm of her hand where it cups his jaw. “And then,” Nezha continues, mouthing the words against her skin, “I think about you.”
—
Rin learns that there’s more to flying than fighting.

Summary
“Look,” Nina says. Inej has startled her badly enough that she’s made a mess of her eyeliner – the wing on her right eye careens wildly to one side.
“I’m all for reclaiming your sexuality. Seriously. Two thumbs up from me. But, honestly, Inej, does it have to be with the most emotionally unavailable man you know?”
“Well, who would you suggest?”
Nina’s eyes bulge. “Oh, I don’t know, literally anyone with a pulse and a conscience?”
“Kaz has –
“We don’t know that,” Nina says sternly.

Summary
“Are you…” she hesitated, but then tried again because she had a right to know, “are you asking me out?”
Now, Kaz did blush and adjusted his grip on his cane.
“Saints, no—” That came out with more vehemence than Inej thought strictly necessary “—I’m saying we should pretend to date. For money."
Kaz needs money for a new microwave. An opportunity presents itself when he comes across a flier for a paid research opportunity - but he'll need a little help to pull it off.

you are my endless summer by laurore_stormwitch for claudiarya, clary1835

Summary
How I'm sure Nikolai and Zoya story ends (or starts) right after Rule of Wolves. Don't read it if you haven't finished the book. It tells a little of how Nikolai courted Zoya, how he finally ends up asking for her hand in marriage, gifting her a home, love and a future to look forward to.
"What he was telling her now, it had an echo to so many other things he had told her in the past, scattered throughout the moments they had shared. It told the story of how they took care for each other of so long, of their longing, of their strength. How they had found each other at last."

Summary
‘I’m Katara, by the way. 12B.’
‘Zuko. 12A.’
‘You don’t say much.’
He shrugs. No, he doesn’t. Not anymore. He has less than nothing of value to say, why bother wasting anyone’s time with it?
-
Zuko has made some life shattering mistakes. Recently sober for the first time since he dropped out of high school, he finally has a chance to make something of this life— if he can just choose to live it. Katara has never felt more alone. She’s weeks away from receiving her degree, already crafting her cover letter for the job she’s been working towards for five years… but life feels empty without her friends and family.
Lonely, and with a shared balcony and interest in tea and gardening, they help carry each other’s burdens and learn something along the way.

‘Are you— Just to clarify, you’re asking me if I want to get into your car and go stay the night in your flat on the outskirts of town?’
‘I realise how shady it sounds.’
Her eyebrows are raised so high they’re practically sitting at her hairline, but there’s something that he thinks might be amusement starting to brighten her face.
‘Kinda, yeah.’
