Summary
“What the hell is this?” Hands on her hips, Zoya surveyed the scene in front of her with the same grim look she used to stare down her enemies in the battlefield.
Nikolai tilted his face up to her, a perfectly ripe strawberry poised halfway to his mouth. He lounged on the blanket at her feet, the late afternoon sunlight caught in his golden hair, and his lips were stained red with juice. The whole picture was unfairly tempting, and it made Zoya want to scowl.
“A picnic?”
Zoya rolled her eyes. “I can see that. What is it doing here?”--
Nikolai just wants to give Zoya a proper courtship, and Zoya just wants to know why he hasn't proposed already. Unrestrained summer fun in the form of fancy cheese and Nikolai's undying devotion. Spoilers for Rule of Wolves

Summary
Over the past six years, Zuko has perfected the art of playing the cool, collected Fire Lord, the opposite of his hotheaded father in every way. He’s cultivated the even gaze, the regal tone, the way he can make Sokka feel like he doesn’t even recognize him, when Sokka knows he is just as desperate to get him alone so they can get their hands on each other. But inevitably, Zuko will slip and look at him, and his eyes will be the eyes of Zuko, the man Sokka loves, instead of Zuko the Fire Lord. Sokka just has to be vigilant enough to catch it.
--
Sokka returns from a six-month-long diplomatic mission and Zuko is too worked up to look him in the eye during the public ceremony. Misunderstandings ensue.

Summary
“I’m not talking about the team,” Eddie says, and his voice sounds oddly quiet. “I’m talking about me and Chris. We’re your family.”
“I appreciate you saying that, man. But you don’t mean it… not the way I want you to.”
“How do you know?” Eddie asks softly.
“Because.” Buck looks up, and Eddie’s warm brown eyes are so close, practically inviting him to get lost in them, the way they do every time Eddie gives him his undivided attention. “Because you mean it like I’m your best friend and I’m Chris’s favorite babysitter. And I love being those things, but I want more. I – I wanna be an actual family.”
“Okay,” Eddie says slowly. “Okay, let’s be an actual family.”--
In the aftermath of Red's death, Buck and Eddie find their way together.

Summary
Three whole days since they had finalized their engagement. Since he’d kissed her in the parlor – kissed her until she felt light in the head and warm all over, and her father, perhaps feeling the silence a little too long, declared that he was too hot behind his screens and they should be taken away at once.
She turned on her heel at the parlor entrance and paced back toward the front door. She decided that if he didn’t show up soon and kiss her some more she was going to be rather cross with him.--
A quick scene set a few days after Emma and Mr. Knightley's engagement. Inspired by the 2020 film.

Summary
“You think I did this with Agatha?” Simon laughs. “God, can you imagine?”
Baz shifts uncomfortably. “I did,” he mumbles. “Imagine it.”
“Well, don’t,” Simon murmurs. “It never happened. I never wanted to. I guess you bring it out in me.” He grins wolfishly and it sets something alight underneath Baz’s skin. Maybe he likes not feeling like the predator for once. Feeling wanted. It makes him bold.
“What else didn’t you do with her?” he asks.--
A quick missing moment between Simon and Baz at Christmas Eve (set during Carry On)

Summary
It was a familiar dance for them, a different sense of personal space that they had, at some point, tacitly agreed on – always standing too close, or choosing the seat next to each other, hands brushing or touching, shoulders bumping.
The familiarity of it was comforting, but there was also a new edge to it. For her, at least. She knew better now what could come next.
__________James and Erin keep growing and growing up together. Set in the summer of 1999 after the gang's first year at university.
This fic stands completely on its own from Part 1 of the series.
