In Which Stiles is Not a Fox (but probably wishes he was) by orphan_account
Fandoms: Teen Wolf (TV)
07 May 2014

Summary
Basically what it says on the tin - Stiles is a selkie, and he hides his selkie-ness from everyone, but because he frequently smells of seawater and gets distracted, someone figures him out. And they have a HTH. It's adorable.

“I don’t care,” Aang pronounced suddenly, “about Azula or how she found us. I care,” he turned around and the anger in his normally passive grey eyes bored into Zuko, “that Zuko almost died for no reason at all.”
Aang takes issue with Zuko's obvious lack of regard for his own safety.

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

(the end of fear is) where we begin by samyazaz for sweetpollyolliver

Summary
"What if there was?" Combeferre asks abruptly, when she's halfway to her feet.
She stops and blinks at him. "Was what?"
"Someone willing to marry you." There's a flush of pink on his cheeks that's enthralling, but his gaze doesn't waver.
"Then I'd tell them no." Éponine snorts. "Anyone who wants to marry a strange woman sight-unseen is after something, and I've had my fill of being used."
"Someone who's not a complete stranger, then. Someone you've shared a conversation with." He glances around them at the cafe, at the table between them, and clears his throat. "Shared a meal with. What would you say then?"

Summary
"They say you steal women."
Éponine leans her shoulder against the doorframe and arches one brow high. "Do they, now?"
The woman flushes, a true blush rising high beneath the rouged one that's been dusted across her cheeks. Her throat works in silence for a moment before she finds her voice again. "When they tell tales aloud, that's what they say. When they tell them in whispers, they say something else. They say you take them on, and take them out to sea, and show them what it means to truly be free. They say you'll take any woman. Even ones who are outcast or fallen or, or who don't have anywhere else to turn."
---
In which Éponine is a pirate queen, Cosette is a stowaway, and neither of them are at all what they expected.

Summary
Éponine doesn't recognize the mermaid, with her gleaming scales and the pearls and bits of abalone shell strung in her hair. She's just like any of the other fancy merfolk who only lower themselves to swim down to the murk when they want some potion or charm or spell forbidden by those who rule the sunlit seas.
She's just another of those folk who turn their noses up at her kind until they have a problem they can't solve on their own -- except that she pauses outside the dark maw of their cave's entrance and hums a little tune to herself, and that startles Éponine so badly that every bioluminescent organ across her scales flares to life with a cold, blue light, because Éponine knows that tune.

Twisted up in Golden Strands [Fic & Podfic] by RsCreighton, samyazaz, SomethingIncorporeal

Summary
It starts like this: with Enjolras's father, drunk and desperate that his only daughter marry before she becomes a spinster, accosting a wealthy-looking stranger at the market and directing his attention to her.
With a thoughtless boast, her father crying, "Look at her there in the sunlight, look at her hair, see how she turns straw into gold? Isn't she beautiful?", too loud and too bold for the crowded marketplace.
With a knock at the door, some days later, and a man in the king's livery standing at attention on the other side, reading a decree, and the sudden sense that the world has dropped out from under Enjolras's feet.

Summary
“Why are you here?” Parvati asked Pansy once. People asked her a lot, when they found her in Flourish and Blotts, or at work on the Prophet. Their eyes raked her, looking for green, for silver, for venom. Sometimes she'd smile back and let them see the danger.
"Because I'm not fifteen anymore," said Pansy. "God, do you know what precious Potter Sr. got up to at school, the bully? But boys get to grow up to be men, you see, and us girls just grow up to be bitches."

Summary
The kitchen staff of a microbrewery in Portland, know as the home base of Leverage Inc. to probably more people than should know, gathered in a corner of the pantry. Some sort of argument had begun a few minutes ago between two of them, but now the rest of the staff had apparently been roped into the debate.
"They're all dating, obviously."
“They’re not all dating.”
