Summary
“What am I? Your personal crystal?” Clive mused, boldly catching Cid’s gaze.
“No.” Cid would say innocently, flashing a crooked grin. “A gem like yourself would fetch a much higher price.”
Or:
Five instances in which Clive lights Cid's cigars, and the one time it mattered most.

Summary
(Spoilers are in this summary. You have been warned.)
After sacrificing himself to destroy Origin and free Valisthea from Ultima’s influence, Clive wakes up in his younger body lying among the ruins of Phoenix Gate. With Ifrit under his control and the stolen powers of the other Eikon’s still at his disposal he knows that the monster he’d tried to defeat is still out there and that the world and its people are still in jeopardy. But he’s not content to allow history to play itself out as it had. Not when there’s something he can do to change it. Not when there are people he can save.
Cid had always thought that Mythos was a story, and that Barnabas was mad for seeking it. Even madder for subjugating himself to Ultima and its false promises. But when he encounters an impossible eighth Eikon in the chamber beneath Drake’s Head and tales begin filtering back to him of a youth with the power to wield all the elements he knows he’s racing against a ticking clock. And that, if the Royalists are allowed to get their hands on him first, their entire world is doomed.Series

Summary
If you told the ten-year-old Ash that in say, another ten years, he would be sitting at Professor Oak’s library feeding his former rival Gary Oak, now a renowned Pokémon fossil researcher, mushroom soup that he himself cooked; he would probably think you were insane.
But that was the thing about growing up; you grow up in ways you never expect to.
(Twenty-year-old Ash and Gary try to reconnect after years of not seeing each other, and discover how much things have changed between them, and how some things could still be the same.)

Summary
Hogwarts is the very last place that Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy want to return to after the war. The Castle feels claustrophobic and stifling. Both feel trapped within its walls.
Harry is traumatised by the war, by his sudden breakup from Ginny, and by the knowledge that his friends all know what they want to do with their life.
Meanwhile Draco is reeling. He has narrowly escaped an Azkaban prison sentence and is struggling under the strict rules of his probation. He doesn't know where his mother is, and finds himself a pariah among the other students.
The last thing that either student wants is mandatory Mind Healing. What has happened to them feels so big and devastating, that writing to a stranger feels farcical.
Even so, they are not given a choice.
Harry and Draco are both given a shared magical diary, and soon they begin writing letters to an anonymous fellow student.
Their letters, terse at first, grow longer as the days pass. Before long, each wizard confesses their secrets and their fantasies, their wishes and their dreams.
What will happen when their true identities are exposed? Will their vulnerable new relationship be destroyed before it has even begun?
