Summary
This stranger – who he’d shared meals and flasks with for the past half-month – this stranger’s eyes offered the most warmth he’d seen. Mayhap in some sick perversion of irony, the man’s gaze reminded him of the sunshine upon green Coerthan pasture when he was a teenager. How could he brand Gaius as an outsider, hold him far away, with such a truth?

Refusing to give in, I see, he says quietly.
She does not speak her answer, of course, but she does not need to.
Very well, he says. If you will not allow me the reins, then let us work together, you and I.
The shadow of Fray hangs over them both.

Summary
Set pre-Shadowbringers, spoilers, Sadu/Cirina slowburn.
"So you are serious, then. This decree from your gods sends you not once, but twice to another's camp, and still you obey." Tapping her nails against the rim of her cup, Sadu deliberated over which nuances might be best to strike at first. "Speak again of these terms which have bound you."
"Six gifts in full," Cirina replied.

Summary
Set several years pre-game, spoilers through MSQ 5.5 and for all Field Notes. Warnings for pet health / animal care, including illness, injury and death. Mild Lyon/Menenius pre-relationship, Lyon character study.
The squirming lump of feathers in the soldier's hands is a miserable thing. No bigger than a hyur's pot helm, its ragged wings droop like broken flags across either side of the man's gloves, glossy feathers gone grey with dust. Its eyes are bleary, lids swollen and crusted over with discharge from an infection. Rivulets of fluid seep down its cheeks. Its beak is dull; one of its feet is missing, the leg terminating in an oozing stump. The creature pants when it breathes -- dehydrated too, undoubtedly -- and almost certainly plays host to every parasite Bozja has to offer.
"Hm," Lyon says.

Summary
"This all fits into what I was saying about Cecil gaining a lot of new perspective on his life. Knowing that you'll inevitably lose everyone you adore probably has a way of loosening up selfish tendencies. By the Hallowed Father's cloaca, Kain, use your common sense."
Kain Highwind has faced down everything from angry dragons to utter apocalypse, but it's taken years for him to tell Cecil and Rosa his deepest wish. Better late than never. Mostly Kain x Rosa, with a hint of Kain x Cecil for flavour and fun times.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya was a competitive cheerleader up until an injury to his hand made tumbling and stunting an impossibility. It's devastating to think that cheer could be out of his life for good—until a pair of enthusiastic classmates show up at Izuku's dorm room with a signup sheet for a new hockey cheerleading club. All that's left to do is learn how exactly hockey works...and try not to think too much about the prodigious freshman right wing, who's just about the most wonderful person Izuku's ever met.
Shouto Todoroki has eaten, slept, and breathed hockey his whole life. He's got a legacy to live up to with his pro-hockey old man, and he's no stranger to the scrutiny and expectations of his coaches and teammates. It's different now that he plays for UA, though. He's got a former pro coach who sees potential in him and teammates who might actually like him as a person. Then there's the cheerleading captain, who's kind and compassionate in a way Shouto's never known—and who won't rest until Shouto stops dismissing hockey as nothing more than his old man's game.

Jason leaned out of the apartment and scowled down at him. "Did you want something or were you just going to stand out there like a dejected puppy all day?"Jon gulped. Damian might've been short, but that was clearly only because his brother had taken all the height for himself.
