Summary
Karkat practically flies up the stairs to the meteor’s roof. He can’t hear anything over his own breathing, but he feels the snapping of blood from blood.
He feels when things are wrong. And oh fuck, are they ever wrong. He feels like he’s going to throw up, but he just forces himself to fall up the steps even faster. Don’t be late again. Don’t fucking do that, Vantas.
He stumbles out, heaving in breaths as he takes in the scene, brain working furiously to compensate for the terror thrumming in his veins and the pounding of his head.

Summary
They came to this isolated colony at the edge of human territories in search of reprieve, a way of putting their broken family back together again. Instead the Strider-Lalondes find themselves in an insular society operating on antiquated rules, and in the middle of an awkward political standoff with their violent alien neighbors.
In an attempt to stop unchecked bloodshed between the two settlements, an arranged marriage is proposed. As the children of the most influential woman in the colony, Dave and Rose have very little choice but to shoulder the responsibilities of their position.
But in politics, as well as life in general, few things are as they first appear. It quickly becomes apparent that both sides might’ve gotten more than they bargained for in the exchange, leaving a variously traumatized bunch of young soldiers and a mismatched group of would-be troll rebels with the task of settling their interpersonal issues and learning to work together. There is far more at stake than just their lives.[Space opera fic with arranged marriage elements. 3 guesses on which is the slow burn couple, no price.]

Summary
"Kaz opened the door, and the sight of her was almost enough to make him forget everything — the pain, the guilt, the turmoil of emotion this day had been. A string of tension snapped, releasing him. She was at the window, dark hair loose to the wind, casually perched on it just like she used to, before everything. The crows she’d taken the time to feed fretted around her, recognizing her careful fingers. A younger one had nestled in her lap, and gently, she petted its ruffled feathers.
'Pretty' was nowhere near enough. She was every beautiful thing in the world.
Kaz found the breath he’d lost, and felt a tired smile bloom on his lips."
------
Six months after the events of Crooked Kingdom, Kaz Brekker begins to heal. It starts with a long-owed apology to a friend, and the return of the Wraith in Ketterdam.

Summary
When Detective Jim Gordon joined the GCPD, he swore to himself that he would be different from the cops that he grew up with. He would be honest, trustworthy, and not bought and paid for by the criminals that ran Gotham. It was far from perfect, but he prided himself on always putting Gotham's citizens first.
And then the Batman showed up.
This complicated things.

In which Timothy Stoker is attributable to a fake dating scheme, Gerry Keay is attributable to witchcraft, Martin Blackwood is attributable to an ill-advised crush, and Daisy Tonner is attributable to soulmates.
And in which Sasha James is attributable to arson.

Summary
AU: Blake was damaged, too damaged. Her parents had brought her along on their vacation to Maine out of pity, and Blake could only look forward to a summer of trying to find and put together all of her broken pieces. It wasn't like there was much else to do on the island of Patch. Here, there were only sailboats, lobsters, and Xiao Long Shipyard.
"We don't just build," Yang explained, gesturing to the boat above them. "We fix things, too."

Summary
Qrow has imagined running away for years. Of course his dream would come true in the worst possible way, that's just his luck.
Raven knows an opportunity when it's staring her in the face. It's a risk, sure, but no one in the tribe would dare challenge a bandit Huntress.
Taiyang is tired of his sleepy island home. The local Beowolves haven't been a challenge for years—he wants to get out there and do something that matters.
Summer knows the world is broken. Gods help anyone looking to widen the cracks.
As the strongest freshman team at Beacon Academy—and the least cohesive—team STRQ has drawn plenty of attention from the staff. But why are they all so concerned with that new expansion in Vale? And who is the mysterious young Headmaster?
I know there's a million of these, but this one's mine.

Summary
Mercury hadn’t known what to expect when he’d contacted Ozpin’s group. They’d been just on the side of too-desperate to worry about it. But whatever he’d had roughly planned out, Mercury was sure this wasn’t it.
For one thing, Xiao Long finding out Raven was his mother sure as shit hadn’t been part of the plan.
Or, the one where Mercury and Emerald switch sides, no one is acting like they thought about it, and why the hell is Qrow watching them like that, anyway?
