Summary
"He was right when he said Carmen was strong. He worked for what he wanted like a fucking dog. He wanted to stop stuttering, so he stopped fucking talking and quietly practiced in his room until he got past it (for the most part) without the help of a speech therapist. He wanted to open a restaurant with Michael, so he sketched blueprints, made menus, and tried (and failed) to calculate the expenses (and he would have opened it too, if Michael had done it with him). He wanted to be a professional chef, so he became Food and Wine's Best New Chef before he turned twenty-one. And now he wanted to die... and the only thing that could stop him was God Himself."

Summary
“You, uh.” Stede hesitates, not sure how, exactly, to phrase what he wants to ask. “How do you know a Portuguese prison guard, then?”
Izzy shrugs. “I get around.”
[Five times Stede witnesses people reacting particularly curiously to Izzy, plus the one time he finds out what other skill Izzy is known for across the seven seas. Or, as Ed puts it: “Izzy’s been leaving a string of broken hearts and aching dicks all across the Caribbean for the last twenty-odd years.”]

Summary
And there he knelt in the middle of a field which would end up being the modern day Lake District utterly exhausted. He knew he’d been overdoing it, magic always came with a cost and a week like he had came with a steep one, but he had a job to do.
John heard the team coming looking for him so he took in a shaking breath and got to his feet, ignoring the piercing headache the action brought on and walked towards the voices until they came into view on the outskirts of the village.

I Can't Save Us (My Atlantis, We Fall) by Emerald_Hobbit

Summary
The library looked as though it had been bombed, books and other equipment strewn across every surface. It wasn't until a particularly large tomb nearly smacked her in the face that she realised that a good deal of the items in the room were flying around as if caught in a tornado. There was an odd crackling and static to the air as she stepped inside, closing the door behind her.
There was no sign of John in the room, if you ignored the magical mayhem. The fact that anyone could recognise this as a magical event caused by distress, warlock or not, was extremely concerning. “John?” she called out and, for a moment, the chaos seemed to falter before continuing.
There was no response.

Summary
When orcs attack Dale during negotiations, the building collapses, trapping Thorin and Thranduil in a wine cellar. Thranduil is badly injured—impaled while saving Thorin's life. With rescue days away, Thorin must keep him alive with only improvised supplies.
In darkness, old enmities fade. They share honeyed bread and honest words impossible in throne rooms. Thranduil apologizes for past wrongs. Thorin admits he understands why. When fever strikes, Thorin holds him through it.
Forced proximity becomes trust, then something deeper. But rescue is coming, and they'll have to return to their separate kingdoms. Two kings from antagonistic peoples can't keep what they found in darkness, but both question what they're willing to risk to keep it.

Summary
“Is that a body,” Tim blurts before he can stop himself, rising to his feet. Martin looks, if possible, even more scared.
“He’s alive!” he hisses, almost defensively. “It’s not - it’s not Gertrude again, I didn’t kill him, he just – I don’t know what happened to him, I just found him in the stacks like this.”
“And you dragged him up here?” Tim says, and then registers several things at once – the build, the hair texture; the little round scars peppering a pair of thin hands and an awfully familiar face. “Wait, is that Jon?”
----
Jon stumbles back into an earlier Archive, looking for a way to fix the world. (Or, mom says it's my turn for the obligatory time travel au)

Summary
“We need each other, especially now,” Tim said solemnly. Martin just nodded. “Everything’s different, and it’s not gonna go back to how it was when we get back to work. And I, personally, don’t trust anyone else in that place but you guys.”
“Right now, I just want to focus on us, not…the institute,” Martin said, brushing back Tim’s hair. He kissed his forehead, and Tim melted against the touch. “And this is pretty nice…”
“Where do we go from here, then?” Jon asked, hesitant glances passing to each of them.
“I say we go to Camelot,” Tim said.
“I’d like to…” Sasha said sheepishly.
“As would I…” Martin said.
Jon took a deep breath, and he nodded slowly. “Camelot it is, then.”

Summary
Bilbo knew it would be fine. Whatever they were going to do with his urine outdoors would tell Oin that he was fine. There was nothing to worry about, Thorin needn’t fear anything. Thorin was not a person who was afraid, who should ever be afraid - not again. Bilbo couldn’t do that to the one he loved.
Yavannah, please don’t give Thorin any reason to be afraid.

Summary
When facing a strange villain that feeds off fear, that pulls the trauma from people’s throats like a horsehair worm from a wriggling mantis, Robert thinks it’s going to be routine, that Flambae will deal with him and get some free therapy as a bonus, that he’s safe behind his desk where the villain called Archivist won’t even think about him.
He’s wrong.

Summary
Ben growls, full fledged span of his teeth and all. The baring of them is primal, something animalistic that doesn’t fit on the normally vibrant man’s face. It’s a look Sadusky has seen hundreds of times. Unease. Cornered men weighing their options.
Sometimes with fatal consequences.
When the Gates home is attacked and leads to a mysterious standoff, only Sadusky can solve it—and hopefully snap Ben back to himself before it turns ugly. Before he shoots someone.

Summary
Jack hated convenience stores with a burning passion. They were dirty, unwelcoming and used stupid breakup songs from the 90s that resonated way too much with his current situation as background music.
How do I live without you? Well, Jack didn't want to know.
