Summary
When Arthur was young, he remembered asking his father about the golden thread on his finger and seeing Uther pale before going red. In a stern voice, his father told him that that meant a magic user had stolen his soulmate from him, either bewitching them or outright taking the thread from his original mate. It was a way for them to get to the crown and it meant that he needed to avenge his soulmate. The day he met the person that the thread was connected to now, he would have to kill them. Arthur’s eyes welled with tears that Uther scolded him for as he realized that he didn’t have a soulmate and he never truly would. He grew to hate his thread, knowing that it connected him to a murderer and he threw himself into training so that he could fulfill the task his father gave him and avenge his soulmate that never would be.
That lasted for a while, but it couldn't outlast Morgana.
A soulmate thread of fate AU where magic users get gold threads and Morgana as such learned about magic from her father so that she was knowledgeable and protected. Uther is Uther, Morgana can't stand that, but she has support and so does Arthur.

Summary
The silk of the rope was gentle as it unspooled from Marion’s careful hands around Sean’s shoulders and comforting in its tension as Jean tied her exacting knots. It was so tempting to let his mind still for once. No war, no monsters, just Jean and Marion’s soft commands to move this way and that way and still now, darling. Softness was such a rare allowance for him.

Summary
Some people can see their soulmate threads, Lucy has always been able to, one connecting to Norrie, two others headed off down South, towards London. When Norrie is ghost-locked, the thread goes gray and Lucy leaves when it starts looking frail and fragile as Norrie. When she gets to London, soulmates are the last thing on her mind and she doesn’t want to open up again, especially since there is a black strand for Norrie woven around her finger, connected to nothing.

Summary
The first time it happens, most people don’t think much of it. Connor and Hank are back from New York and Connor extends a hand to interface with Nines as is their typical habit, but Nines flinches back from the hand like it’s scalding. He quickly apologizes and reaches out himself, but Connor doesn’t miss the slight, nearly nonexistent shake of his hand and Gavin, watching from his desk, doesn’t miss the tension hidden between Nines’ eyes.
Neither of them miss the fact that Nines interfaces less after that.
Set after the events of Detroit: Evolution, before Detroit: Reawakening. This is a short exploration of what might happen after your head is violated via forced interface and memory probe.

Summary
Striding through MACUSA, nodding to those that smiled his way, Grindelwald's mind whirred through future plans, but the first that he settled on was simple. He needed an example to remind both Europe and America why he should be feared, because fear was just as important as the best stratagems. Someone with ties to both would be optimal and it was then the foundations for the plan set. He needed Newt Scamander to scream and he would ensure that the world would hear it.

Summary
“Do … do any of you three listen to, ah, the podcast ‘What the Ghost?’ at all? The last episode, particularly.”
“What the what now?”
It rang a bell, actually, now that Tim thought about it; but not in any context that made sense in the same general region as Jonathan Sims.
“Is that the podcast about hauntings?” Martin perked up a little at knowing the answer. “And, well, spooky stuff?”
And, right, that was why Tim had suffered a cognitive disconnect. The podcast was a popular, light-hearted and open-minded exploration of the supernatural, while Jon’s relationship to the supernatural was one of exasperated dismissal. Why on earth he even worked here in the first place … but that just led to thoughts of why Tim, himself, was here and to unhealed wounds and … Tim would prefer to gently mock Jon for listening to a ‘spooky’ podcast, of his own apparent volition.
“Yes, Martin, it deals with … ‘spooky’ stuff. And, also, apparently, practical jokes.”

Summary
At first, he thinks it’s the radio. It’s not uncommon for these stores to play classical music, trying to add an air of sophistication in what’s otherwise a dark room of dusty knicknacks. But when he walks towards the noise, he instead finds Jon sitting at the bench of an old wooden upright, his posture straighter than Tim’s ever seen it, hands moving slowly but deftly across the keys as he leans into each note.
Jon plays the piano and Tim appreciates.

Summary
He had to be okay. They would have said something if they’d grabbed Tim too, right? And anyways, it was probably for the best that Tim had seen him. Then he could alert the rest of the archives staff and someone might be able to come get him out of this mess. Who knows how long he’d have been stuck here if no one knew where he went.
Tim sees Jon get kidnapped and decides to go after him. Unfortunately, he neglects to tell anyone where he's going.
Tim ends up kidnapped with Jon.

Summary
Kira's phone is long dead when the skinwalkers declare she's in control enough to be let go, though they don't make it easy for her. She crawls out of the sand pit they'd dragged her into, panting and desperate. Her skin is raw, dirt caked under her nails, and even though her legs are shaking with exhaustion, she runs, putting as much distance as she can between them and her.
Or
When Kira comes back from New Mexico, its Derek, Stiles, and Allison who bundle her up and take her away for some well-deserved healing.

Summary
"Your whole thing is not wanting people messing with your mind," Stiles says. "Isn't asking me to do this messing with your mind?"
"That's why I'm asking you to do it instead of Deaton," Derek says.
"Aren't you worried I'll fuck it up or, I don't know, mess with you more?" Stiles asks.
"No," Derek says. "Because I trust you."
OR
Derek's tired of having his mind and memories toyed with by darachs and alphas and djinns and Kate. He's tired of not knowing who he is, of forgetting the pack, of being manipulated, so he asks Stiles to help him with a spell.
