Summary
Halsin had stepped valiantly into a portal that blinked out of existence when their party was overwhelmed in combat. They hadn’t been close all those years ago, but Halsin had been the first to die, and Astarion would be the last as he was always destined to be. There was something meaningful in that.
Immortality leaves one with rather a lot of years to keep track of. 150 years since saving the realm. 146 years since marrying Wyll. 79 years since becoming a widow. 13 years since the last of his former companions passed on without him.
Of all the things Astarion has suffered in his long life, the one blow he's no longer capable of weathering is suffering all on his own. When he finds his way to the Shadow-Cursed lands in search of place to waste away in peace, the last thing he expects to find is a kindred spirit in similar need of healing.

Angel doesn’t really mind his job as a hooker, he provides a service and people pay him - work is work, but if a well-hung millionaire wants to whisk him away to live in a mansion well… there are worse ways to live.

Summary
In a city where nothing sticks but the alcohol spilled on the floor and no one stays for longer than they have to, Husk keeps his bar running on cheap booze, jazz music and the memories of every time Pop-rock star Angel Dust has stopped in for a drink while on tour.
Playing that first hit album on the jukebox, Husk waits for Angel to make his last tour through the city while remembering one-night stands that were never meant to mean anything but lingered like lipstick stains on a glass he never bothered to wipe clean.

Summary
"You sure you don't wanna join? It's gonna be a good one."
Anthony is only half-kidding with the invitation. Husk looks at the selection of whips, handcuffs, and other bondage gear laid out neatly on the vanity.
"What if I said I'm a missionary with the lights off only kind of guy?"
"Can't lie to someone who knows better," Anthony says with a laugh.
"Okay, you got me there. I'll see you tonight." Husk gives him a smile. "Try not to get too tied up with work."
"Ha ha, funny guy. See ya later."
Anthony and Husk know each other better than anyone else. They've stood by each other through thick and thin, including what should have torn them apart. As someone new enters the picture, they have to decide if this is finally the thing that breaks them. Or maybe, she brings them together instead.

Summary
The sole survivor of Vault 111 is Bric, who awakens in a wasteland after 200 years. She finds her fellow vault dwellers and former neighbors Nate and Nora dead in their pods - and their infant child missing. Bric sets out to find answers, and maybe a few friends along the way - but at what cost?
This is a slow burn, novel-length, relationship story. It's got a few scenes influenced by tumblr - I don't have an account but I love reading all of the Hancock tags. The focus is on SS/Hancock and Valentine, though MacCready, Cait, and Preston are all supporting. Mostly canon, though some liberties with order and details have been/will be taken. In the second half of the arc, Danse and Maxson make their appearance, along with Deacon and Glory.
Though this is done, I love comments! They keep my inspirations going.

Summary
The problem was that Din did not believe in ghosts.
He did, however, recall days and nights spent between scorching sands and an endless canopy of stars and an auretii who wore his beskar'gam as if he had been born into it and thought,
Vanth can see ghosts.
--
When Greef Karga makes the unusual request that Din hunt down a ghost that's been sowing terror on Nevarro, the Mandalorian cannot refuse for friendship's sake. He turns to one man who he hopes is willing to help him; Cobb Vanth.- Language:

Summary
Bilba Baggins, popular model for a premier lingerie company, isn't always entirely convinced that the perks of the job are worth the hassle. Can't she even go to the shops without being recognized?
But Thorin Oakenshield doesn't seem to recognize her at all, even with her nearly-naked breasts forever plastered across half of London.
That's... a very refreshing change.

Summary
Renown sorcerer and legendary pirate captain Edward Teach runs into a fascinating little man by the name of Thomas, selling items enchanted with a magic far wilder and more potent than any Ed’s seen in his supernaturally long life. Fascinated, Ed quickly realises Thomas is hiding an incredibly dangerous secret behind his obviously fake moustache and sunshine voice. Dangerous enough to attract the attention of the Empire, notorious for collecting the magically inclined and bending them to do their bidding.
As Ed races to unravel the mystery surrounding the man, he realizes they have far more in common than he could have ever imagined - and finds his own painful past mirrored in the eyes of another. Someone who can really see him for who he is.
With slumbering gods and ancient deities roaming the lands, magic is sought after by the rich and powerful, a weapon and a tool to further their interests and fuel their wars. Those who can wield it must choose what they stand for, who they’ll fight for, and how far they’ll go to keep their freedom.

Summary
Frenchie pauses, searching for the right words.
“I know you weren’t exactly thrilled about this, is all,” he finally tells him…
It was fine. It would all be fine. Except for that one thing still nagging at him, clawing at his insides if he stopped too long to let it.
“I’m coming around. Where’s everyone else?” he asks.
“Roach, Swede, and Oluwande are splitting a hotel room, so they’re probably just getting in.”
Ed looks down at his drink, swirling the liquid in circles, hoping his voice sounds neutral. “And, um. Stede?”
—
Ed is pretty comfortable letting the past be the past; but at his fifteen year reunion, it’s a little hard to avoid. Maybe that’s okay.

Summary
Stede’s been picking up on it for a while, Ed’s hesitance to share when he’s upset, or worried, or feeling hurt. They’ve managed to talk a few things out by now, namely that they’d give pirating a break, that they wanted to do it together.
That had been huge, actually. Still – he can’t help but feel that Ed’s walking on eggshells, as though the wrong words might spook Stede into fleeing.
Deep down Stede knows he won’t, neither of them will, but yeah – he knows the feeling. They’ve still got a lot of talking to do.
Just needs a little elbow grease.
“I love you,” he whispers, sliding even closer, lightly carding his fingers through Ed’s hair.
The forced smile relaxes into a real one, warm and pleased. “Love you.”
Or:
Ed and Stede have some work to do on the inn…among other things. They’re up for the challenge.

Summary
The downside to being stuck on a desert island is that Stede's not awfully good at adapting. The upside is that he and Ed can finally have some peace and quiet– that is, if Ed ever wakes up from the gunshot wound in his stomach.
Stranded in the middle of who-knows-where, Stede learns the art of reflection and how to embrace the man who looks back.

Summary
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lived a man who was chosen to be the leader of a scattered people. He carried a magical sword that looked like the inverse of all light. But, simply carrying the sword wasn't enough — he also had to prove his mettle through a series of Duels before he could be instated.
Out of a sense of duty, the man agreed to the Duels, and set out to find his destiny.
But was that really such a good idea?
***
The second Vanth’s hand meets Din’s beskar, wind erupts around them. An orb of light shines from Din’s chest. Vanth stares into it, transfixed, as if nothing else exists. As Din gazes up at him, Vanth’s features go slack, like he’s in a trance. Tentatively, Vanth pushes his hand into the light spilling out from Din — and when it comes back out, it’s followed by the darksaber. When he lifts that hand up in the air, the darksaber stands in a straight line above them, fully ignited.
The last thing Din hears before the world goes black is Vanth’s panicked, “Oh, what the fuck?”

“You planning of making a mess in my town?”
The answer is immediate, right to the point. “You planning on shooting me?”
Cobb decides to play it safe: he doesn’t remove his hand from the blaster. “Not if it can be avoided.”
The stranger’s lips break apart in more than one place when he produces another little grin, a sarcastic twitch, but somehow Cobb knows that the smile is not for him: it’s meant for the stranger himself. “Maybe it can’t,” the guy says after a beat. “Maybe it would be better that way.”
--Or: my take on what really happens after Din is forced to say goodbye to Grogu.
