Summary
It starts—as most things on the Zephyr do—as a drunken bit.
“Gotch.” Van says solemnly. Her flesh hand shoots out to grip his shoulder tightly. Her eyes burn into his skull. “I’m gonna be your dad.”
Maxwell blinks. “What?”
“Your father is an absolute arse, and if he doesn’t want you, I call dibs. I’m your new da.”
Or: Longspot Gotch sucks. Van, ever the problem-solver, steps up.

Summary
"...Beyond offers of murder and retribution most bloody, half-forgotten instincts were making themselves known, like ghosts shimmering through his thoughts. Cups of hot chocolate, blankets coated with the scent of pack, hugs and other forms of easy affection... all of it more than he could offer, but he wanted to. Wanted to wrap Stiles up in what pack had once been and promise Stiles that their world was more than loss and death."
(Or: If the adults of Beacon Hills began acting like grown-ups.)

Summary
"There is no town called Lettenhove," Ciri said.
"It's small," Jaskier said.
"If it's big enough to have a viscount, I would have learned about it in my political studies. I was engaged to the prince of Redania for a few months; I was instructed on every noble family in the land. There is no Viscount de Lettenhove."
Yennefer and Geralt's expressions shifted, the mirth dropping.

Summary
“Don’t threaten her.” It was a warning from the White Wolf himself. Jaskier would have listened mere seconds ago. He could still feel the anxiety rising inside him, but it wasn’t the only thing boiling inside him now.
“Or what? You’ll kill me?” He scoffed. “Don’t make empty promises, sweetheart.”
“You reek of fear and still dare to talk back?”
“That’s onion.”
Or the Soulmate au Enemies to Lover you didn't ask for but still got.

Summary
Katara was taken to the Northern Water Tribe by her grandmother; she was to be protected at all cost, for she was the last of the Southern Water. Once they got there, the North refused to teach her trying to strip her of her worth and turn her into what they wanted, a calm biddable healer to birth the next generation.
They failed.
And so as punishment they sent her to be a political bride to the Fire Nation.
