Summary
Lux, emotionless even to other templars, has spent her entire life knowing nothing but what she was ordered to obey, saying little but what was required of her. Anders, A Bit Much even to other mages, can't help but prod her, to see if she has a voice.
And when life comes crashing on them both, it's better to hang together than fall apart.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are worried about the power dynamic inherent in an templar/mage relationship, don't worry, they're incredibly stressed about it too and are making an effort to discard that dynamic.)

Guydelot truly didn't give a damn about this Ballad business, but if it served to piss off Bowlord Mourechaux by succeeding and give him the opportunity to knock Captain Smyth down a peg or two, by the gods he'd take it.
Heavensward bard questline.

Summary
That’s a fucking kid, is the first thing that Iruka thinks.
That’s the fucking jinchuriki, is the second.
The first thought comes back, even stronger, overwhelming him with outrage, with fury, with a sick sort of disgust, and now it comes out as a shouted,
“That’s a fucking kid.”

Summary
Langa thinks he should reassure his mother. He thinks he should tell her that it absolutely is a girl, make up some imaginary classmate so his mother — bless her, she’s always trying — doesn’t have yet another parental panic attack about her son.
But Langa can’t spare his mother’s feelings. Not right now.
“No. I’m not talking about a girl.”

Summary
Exhausted, nearly propping his eyes open with his fingers to stay awake, Joe takes the time to do one last thing: He sends an email overflowing with gratitude to the owner of the food blog who has saved his life these last few weeks. By the time he realises he forgot to sign his name, Joe has already started to drool onto his pillow.
Andy and Quynh’s engagement party is full of fond memories for Joe; it’s where he met the man who might be the love of his life, and thanks to a helpful food blog, it’s the event that finally taught him to cook. Now if only the owner of that blog wasn’t such a jerk...

Summary
An involuntary shudder runs down Nicky’s spine. He’d been doing so well. So well. The problem, of course, is that Nicky, like all people, has weaknesses, and articulate confidence is one of them. Perhaps that accounts for what he says next.
“Prove it.”

Summary
The premise of Married at First Sight is simple: get matched to a complete stranger by a group of relationship experts and meet your future spouse on your wedding day. So far, this 'scientific' experiment has only been limited to the straights, but for the upcoming season of Married at First Sight UK, things are going to be different: it will be a queer-only season.
Joe applies because of a bet, Nicky applies because his friends bully him into it. Both of them are sure they won't be going any further than the application process, except... they do. But that's fine. They'll just meet at the ceremony, get married, try not to murder each other for the mandatory six weeks, and then they will get divorced and go their own, very separate ways.
Or will they?

[From:] Journal of Medieval Studies ([email protected])
[Subject:] Ad-hoc note from the editorI have noticed an uncommon level of animosity in your responses to your reviewers (or rather, one reviewer in particular). I am writing to ask if you would please do your best to keep your interactions civil. In fairness, I have also sent a similar request to the reviewer you seem to have this friction with. I trust you will both try and remain more professional in the future.
Again, thank you for submitting your work to this journal.

Summary
In truth this is but the latest bad day in a series of terrible ones: four days ago Yusuf was kidnapped and tied up and slung over the back of a horse, and the days since he has spent with a bag over his head as that horse carried him further and further away from his home. That was insulting enough, but being trussed up and left propped against the trunk of a tree without even a guard to stand over him is a new low.
At least these bandits haven’t tried to slit his throat, and seem more interested in kidnapping than actual bodily harm. But flopping around trying to find something to cut his bonds with is a particular flavor of humiliation he never wishes to experience again, especially when he hears people coming back to the camp, and the only thing Yusuf can do to preserve his dignity is to flip onto his back.
(An Ella Enchanted AU)
Now with a wedding epilogue!

Summary
Nicolò di Genova was killed on one of the endless mornings of The Crusades, struck down by a scimitar. He woke again later that evening.
Yusuf al-Kaysani bled out hours later from wounds left by a sword. He woke again that next morning.
A person often meets his destiny on the road he chose to avoid it.
Alternatively, Nicky and Joe's second meeting was over 900 years too late. And neither one knows the other is immortal, or that they've already met.

Summary
In which Yusuf is a witch, striking out on his own and looking to make his way in the world -- what he finds instead is a very peculiar rabbit, desperately in need of his help. Destiny might have brought them together, for reasons not entirely clear, but Yusuf isn't going to abandon a soul in distress -- especially if he has the ability to do something about it. (And if he happens to fall in love along the way, well... who is he to deny his own heart?)

Summary
After decades of violent war, peace between the nations of Parnassus and Promare has finally been established by the promised union of Prince Galo Thymos and Regent Lio Fotia. The two have never met, but their wedding is suddenly the most important event in recent history and they know that millions of lives are riding on their ability to get along, or, at least, their ability to fake it for the cameras.
Unfortunately, neither are the type to just sit back and let things happen.

Summary
This marks my first foray into NSFW territory. Constructive feedback is welcome, as this chapter has not been reviewed by a beta. Thanks for reading, please enjoy. Let me know if you'd like me to add any tags. This does involve Fenris having to perform prostitute duties unwillingly, though Anders does his best to make him comfortable. Fenris also has a pseudonym at this point. Anders won't learn his true name in this chapter.
