Summary
Ever since you were very little, Dad has told you stories. Stories of heroism, of adventure and friendship and love. Stories of the Mighty Nein.
You know they’re not real, because only you and Dad are real. It’s you, and Dad, in Room, and that’s all there is.(It starts like this: Essek Thelyss meets Ludinus Da’leth when he is 81 years old, desperately lonely, and convinced down to his core that he is too clever to be taken advantage of.)
(It starts like this: Ludinus Da’leth has never truly let go of anything.)

Summary
A problem shaped like seven unexpected mercenaries carrying one of the priceless artifacts he stole arrives on Essek's doorstep, but he can handle it. Is handling it. Will be able to handle it, at some point, if he can figure out how to avoid them killing him first.
(Or: time looping your way into a new alignment, one catastrophic failure at a time.)

Summary
"Council's definitely getting antsy for a full debrief," he finally says, clearly trying not to laugh, "but that can wait until you're ready, in the absence of any active trouble brewing."
"Good. Then they can continue to wait," Loki declares haughtily. "I have far more important matters to attend to."
"Do you, now."
"I do, rather."
"And what might those be, your majesty?"
"Convincing you to leave that poor coffee machine alone and sleep with me, for one."
Mobius chokes on his tongue.
Post-canon light angst, sci-fi-babble, obligatory reunion, emotional H/C, fluff, ambiguous QPR vibes, you know the drill with me. Written for the prompt(s) of"Watching someone sleep" or "Falling asleep on top of the sheets." and somehow barely fills both, so.

Summary
In 1803, sixteen-year-old Benedict Bridgerton is spending the summer in Paris when the Napoleonic Wars are declared and he becomes a prisoner of war. The Bridgertons constantly worry about their missing brother, working to find a way to bring him home when suddenly the letters stop.
In 1807, eighteen-year-old Sophie Baek is illegally sold as a maid to a family in Verdun, when she meets Benjamin Sojourner, a mysterious and handsome young Englishman who lost his memory in an accident three years earlier.
In 1814, twenty-three-year-old Colin Bridgerton is touring France when Sophie Lefèvre, a happily married seamstress invites him home for dinner. Upon arriving to the Lefèvre residence, Colin is shocked to run into his long thought dead brother, Benedict, now happily married with four children and has no idea what the hell Colin is talking about when he calls him “Benedict” much less “brother.”
How Colin is going to explain this one to the family is anyone’s guess.

Summary
Magic connected a caster to the world. Mages who reach for connection, but try to pull that in – to refuse attachments – grew plants. Eventually, the growth would choke them. It was foolish. That didn’t stop the roots from digging deep, the green from flourishing, and the petals from choking his breath ever since the ship.
Essek’s scorpion grass bloomed in tiny, powder blue flowers, and marked him as damned.

Summary
The men knew Hogan looked after them—more than was typical of a commander and his crew. It was in the little things, the details of everyday life, yet sometimes it struck them in undeniable ways. They saw Colonel Hogan as more than a commanding officer, and knew, somehow, that he saw them differently too.
- or -
Four times Colonel Hogan took care of his men, and one time they took care of him.

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

Summary
In pursuit of a sorcerer, Arthur and his knights stumbled into a cave. As the ceiling collapsed on them, Merlin had no choice except to reveal his magic or let all his friends die. That choice was not a choice at all.
As Merlin's magic began to run out and tensions with the knights run high, it seemed he might have made the wrong choice after all.

Summary
“Beauregard – you said she is outside?” Essek half-turns in the direction of the front door. “Should we invite her in?”
It feels like there is something stuck in his throat. “In a moment. She is, ah – giving us some space.”
Essek turns back to stare at him. Repeats quietly, dangerously, “Space.”
Caleb forces himself to swallow. “Yes.”
Essek’s attention is a palpable thing now, sharp like a knife’s edge against his cheek. “Explain.”
One moment makes all the difference during the battle at Blumenthal. In the aftermath, the Nein grapple with what comes next.

Summary
“People always talk about how bad the surgery is,” Ed told Hawkeye, “but you never hear people mention how much it sucks to have fifty pounds of metal hanging off your body. Bolts in your bones.”
“What’s happening?” Mustang asked sharply, turning toward them with his clouded eyes still lingering a few feet over their heads. “Hawkeye? What’s Fullmetal doing? Is there something wrong with his automail?”
Ed flicked the lighter again, waited a little more patiently this time, and inhaled. Then he gave Hawkeye a nod, giving in to the inevitable. The only reason Mustang hadn’t figured it out already was probably because Ed didn’t do a lot of... this sort of thing. The comfort thing. Mustang liked people to play into his expectations.
“Edward came out to smoke opium,” Hawkeye said at last. “He says it helps with the pain from his automail.”
