    Summary

    Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.

    The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.

    All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.

    Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.

    “I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

    Summary

    Excerpt:

    Time drags on, and it becomes apparent that this is not a part of the tradition. The wolves start to shift on their feet and murmur, but no one attempts to speak to Stiles. He stands, feeling the back of his neck growing red from the sun and his face growing red from embarrassment.

    What will happen if Derek Hale cannot be coerced to the altar? Will the bargain be revoked?

    Summary

    Soichiro asks: "Why do you want to marry my son?"

    Summary

    “Look at me boy,” The king spoke fiercely, but not unkindly, leaning forward once more. “Speak freely, and the truth. It is a great crime to lie to a king. How much were you told before you agreed to this arrangement?”

    Julian blinked, then blinked again.

    “I was told I was to be wed, your grace,” He stammered, even as the world threatened to twist on its axis. “My lord father commanded it, and I obeyed.”

    The king stared, as he had before, then sighed.

    “Well, fuck.”

    Summary

    Mixmaster and Scrapper had not been informed of Starscream’s arrival. Megatron must not have thought it important. He just turned up one cycle, all tall and slender and looking like a million cyber-bucks. 

    They weren’t strangers to beautiful machinery, but they’d only ever seen jets way up in the sky, little specks gliding through the clouds. Never up close like this, all sharp edges and tiny waists. He put the little automobiles they would chase out on the streets to shame.
