Summary
Charn came even closer, fitting between his legs, a hand coming down to caress just a little under his shorts.
It felt like madness, softness, a little too close to love.

Summary
When getting to Khem seems impossible, tactics change, and people fall.
'It was Charn who had remained beside Jet. Every so often, he’d run his hands down to check the pulse, which continued to beat strongly in Jet’s wrist. A constant reminder that there was still light in the newfound darkness. He’d shift the ice around, carefully checking to make sure that the condensation hadn’t dampened Jet’s shirt each time. He’d run the back of his hand every so lightly up against Jet’s neck and cheeks, which had regained much of their color, as if checking for fever.'

Summary
Jet ends up in a bit of trouble, and Charn lends him a helping hand.
'Jet had intended to ignore the assholes. He had intended on walking back over to where Charn was currently painting, intended on saying something oddly threatening while asking if he’d remembered anything about the previous night, and intended on then drinking a crap ton of water and heading back to his master’s place.
But now he couldn’t.
It wasn’t even that he wanted to go and confront those assholes; he had to. The match had been struck, and now the need burned something horrid.'

Summary
"What am I without you? Your sword still rests heavy upon my shoulder and the scars from your shackles still bleed without a pause. But even then I am in your veins, and that me in you is slowly ebbing life away from your body. Ziang, don't leave me. Take me with you. Wherever you go, I'll follow you. And wherever I'll breath, there'll lay your buried laughter."

Summary
Back in South Hui, an entire lifetime ago, they both dreamed of their very own paradise. In it, Xiao Shuhe would have died of old age, in a small cottage somewhere far outside the capital, surrounded by the scent of pear blossoms. He would have died without any regrets, unafraid to leave the mortal world after a long life well-lived. He would have died knowing he was loved by the very same person waiting for him in the Yellow Springs.
He would have never died the way he did—in a cold, damp dungeon, with his back soaked in blood, a disgraced emperor of a kingdom long since fallen.
or: A different take on episode 10, where the prison guards still inflict their punishment on Xiao Shuhe, but the one who suffers the most is actually Duan Zi'ang.

Summary
Astarion is near the docks when he feels Cazador's compulsion on him snap. He doesn't think twice. He just takes the next available ship out of Baldur's Gate. Its destination: The City of Splendors. Waterdeep.
*
Gale takes back the glass, now empty, and then seems to fidget a little. “There is something I wanted to get your opinion on- but it can wait until you’ve recovered. You don’t look well at all- no offense meant, of course.”
“None taken,” Astarion says sweetly. “Please go on. Tell me exactly what it is about my appearance that you find lacking.”

Summary
A version of First Class where Charles Xavier has had a deteriorating spinal condition the whole time. It changes so much, and very little. Show me a version of Charles Xavier that knows how to take care of himself.
I don't know what you're talking about with this "Erik shot Charles" nonsense.

Summary
He would never see him again. Never feel the familiar touch of his mind against his own. Never watch the determined lines across his face as he chose his next chess move. Never see the way his gaze would flicker from the chess pieces to him when he thought Charles wasn’t looking. Never again. Charles was going to die while Erik was halfway across the world. He wondered if Erik would feel it somehow. Was it selfish of him to hope that Erik would feel the loss all the way in Genosha? At least that way Erik would be linked with him in the end, despite the distance.
He felt his pounding heartbeat begin to stagger, and he knew this must be it. Charles began to close his eyes as he heard the sound of someone running, and then the world was darkness and he knew no more. His last thought was of Erik, unknowingly going about his day in Genosha. Unaware that thousands of miles away, Charles was leaving him behind.
(This fic takes place a couple of months after X-Men: Apocalypse and is pretty much canon compliant up until then except for Charles didn't lose his hair fighting Apocalypse because that was stupid. Also, the reconstruction of the school took longer in this fic because good quality construction takes time)

Summary
Summary: The system had started as a way to curb crime in the mid 2030s. Prisoners had been given the option to join the contracted worker system (slavery – but no one dared call it that), and years would be taken off of their sentences. Power leads to corruption leads to more power leads to more corruption. Ten years in, coercion was readily used to force criminals into the system. Twenty years in, rights started being stripped. Now, within a 60 year old system that has expanded beyond anyone's control, a U.S. Senator finds himself holding the contract of the favorite worker of one of the most powerful men in the country.

Summary
Duncan reaches up to cup Paul’s face; he brushes a thumb over Paul’s cheek. He tilts Paul’s face this way and that.
“You look like you never sleep.”
Paul can barely breathe. He doesn’t know what to say. He hasn't slept, not well, anyway. He wakes up early or in fits in the night, and he can never escape those strange dreams. They’re getting harder to shake during the day.
Duncan’s hand drops away.
“You can stay with me,” Duncan offers. “Anytime you need. Tonight, if you want. If it will help you sleep.”
***
Paul has trouble sleeping. More accurately, he has trouble with his dreams. Duncan Idaho notices something off with his boy, and he offers Paul a place to stay. Paul only has to take him up on it.

Summary
“Rosie Cotton dancing,” Sam said, “and Pippin and Merry stealing the fireworks early. And you-” his voice died in his throat. He could feel Frodo’s eyes on him, but Sam kept his gaze steady on the far-off horizon. Somewhere, he hoped, the armies of Rohan and Gondor and all the kingdoms of men were gathered. He hoped that he and Frodo hadn’t been too late. Sam hoped a lot of useless things.
“Your laughter, Mister Frodo.” Sam’s voice was rough from smoke and the building tears in the back of his throat. He closed his eyes, and tried to remember the sound of Frodo’s laugh. The shape of his smile- how it formed dimples in his cheeks and made his eyes crinkle up into little crescents. It had been so long, the memories felt faint and dreamy, like something Sam had imagined long ago. Once, a lifetime past, Frodo’s smile was Sam’s favorite thing in the widest world. More beautiful than any flower he could grow in the garden, brighter than any of Gandalf’s fireworks cracking open in the sky. “I loved to hear you laugh, sir,” Sam whispered, and he felt a tear trace down his filthy cheek.

Summary
“He looks unbearably like an asshole, even for a recruit.”
This is the first solid thought Jung Wooyoung ever has about Choi San. Wooyoung knew his name, which was hardly anything worth mentioning seeing as every living organism on any Jaeger base this side of the Pacific likely knew of Choi San. Originally Wooyoung thought it was because he was insanely talented, but he was quickly learning it was most likely due to the fact that Lieutenant Choi was loud. He commanded attention, though Wooyoung could hardly see anything special about him.
All Wooyoung knew was that they were pinning almost everything on Lieutenant Choi San, and Wooyoung was growing tired of sending pilots off to die.

Summary
In 1963, Erik Lensherr rescues Charles Xavier from a government lab, vowing to protect him and build the future they both want. Charles asks Erik and his Brotherhood to stay, but he is not himself, and Erik won't lose Charles to this terrifying new composure.
"If they're alive we'll find them." Erik vowed in a harsh voice, swallowing down the urge to reach over and grab Charles by the shoulders, to shake off the walls surrounding him. It would be so easy to reach out and tangle their fingers together, to kiss his eyelids and draw out the pain underneath. Erik settled for resting a hand in the space between them, his fingers mere inches away from Charles' own. "And if not, we'll avenge them. I know you're hurting, but we need to focus -"
"I'm fine, Erik. Truly." Charles gave him a wan smile, a poor imitation of the eager ones , his eyes lacking any of the warmth or kindness from before.

Summary
Hongjoong knew that witches were beautiful. He’d seen them before, dead bodies tied to pyres. They were always beautiful. He knew this, yet he still wasn’t prepared.
The creature's eyes opened and shut, unused to the brightness of the afternoon sun. Eyes landed first on the house and courtyard before him, then to Hongjoong’s father, then his brother, then him.
The eyes bored into his. Hongjoong saw the long, delicate eyelashes, angular eyebrows, and the perfect cheekbones. Long, slender fingers came out of the blanket to grip delicately onto the wood of the wagon beneath it. He barely saw the latter, consumed as he suddenly was.
The witch’s head cocked to the side, examining him. Time stood still, and Hongjoong’s breath caught in his throat as he was hit with the urge to vomit, to cry, to laugh, to sing, all at once.
In which Hongjoong, witch hunter, is tasked with delivering the witch Seonghwa to his execution.

Summary
The Ring has begun to speak to Frodo. It tells him terrible things, and gives him nightmares and day-mares. It forces itself into his thoughts and tells him of his guilt, of not using the Ring for power. It desires to weaken him, to hurt him until he falls and fails, and passes the Ring onto one more corruptible. The Ring leads Frodo to self harm, to mutilate his body to serve it and to pay his Debt.
He can feel it. He can feel the Ring's hands on his shoulders and back. He can feel it pushing, pushing with no force, pinching with no hands, seeing with no eyes. He learns truly how painful bearing the Ring can be.
Sam tries to help him, oh, he does. It's a long road to recovery, but Sam will stay by Frodo's side, kissing his shaking hands. The urges only get stronger as Frodo approaches Mordor. Recovery is not easy, oftentimes more difficult than submitting to the Ring's wretched power. But he tries. No, they try. They try together, fighting the Ring's chokehold on Frodo's brain, wresting it from control.
And then, together, after all is said and done, they are left with burns and scars, to gently treat. Those of physicality and nightmare, to face. Together.
(Indefinitely on Hold)

Jungkook and Jimin married. Jungkook has to kill a beast. SO GOOD!

Summary
Jeon Jeongguk is a Seasoned BadassTM. It's out of necessity, though, because he didn't survive serving three tours as a machine gunner in Her Empress' Tactical Force, two Ends-of-the-World, and one hell of a memory-loss problem without learning a few tricks. And though Jungkook doesn't like most people, he has learned to cope with them-- and he's certainly not afraid of anyone.
But then, like a bad punchline, Park Jimin walks into a bar. Jimin-- with the soft face, angelic voice, and the looming threat of ancient evil following his every move. He's enticing. Annoying. About as fragile as a double-edged-broadsword.
And as the galaxy starts to crumble, it may be time for Jeongguk to learn some new coping strategies.
