Summary
Hiccup didn't see the point in stopping Astrid as she ran off towards his village—towards his father—with his most desperately protected secret. He was leaving anyway. A coming-of-age tale. Deviates from movie. Borderline bromantic-comedy.

Summary
Steve smiled a bit and then sighed. “So the serum makes everything inside more? Than why are you picking me? I’m an angry Brooklynite. I get in fights all the time. Sometimes I feel like the injustice of everything's gonna crash down on me like a pail of cement and I’m so angry I nearly can’t move.”
Erskine looked at him again. “Perhaps that is precisely why, Steven. Perhaps that is precisely why.”
Steve blinked at Erskine.
“Nobody even won a war feeling nothing but internal peace and happiness for the situation,” Erskine pointed out as he stood up. “And again, a weak man who has no power knows the value of strength. You, Steven, have seen many people abuse their power and you stand up to it. That is why I picked you.”
The thing about the serum was that it amplified what was inside. This meant only what was inside, of course. As Erskine said, there were already "...so many big men fighting this war, maybe what we need now is a little guy."

Summary
“Oh spirits,” Azula says, grinning widely. The Water Tribe is full of idiots. “You don’t want to marry Zuko, he’s useless. Also, he’s already engaged.”
“He is?” Yue blinks at her.
“Of course he is, he’s going to be the Fire Lord, he’s been engaged since he was twelve,” Azula says. A useless Fire Lord who she’s going to have to prop up, if not outright usurp, but Fire Lord all the same.
The things she does for this family, she swears.

Summary
When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)
OR
Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.

Summary
Mary Bennet agrees to spend the London season with the newly married Darcys. She discovers that she would still infinitely prefer a book. But hiding in the library at balls and parties is not the solution, as an odd young man keeps turning up there.
“'Miss Bennet', she says. I did not know my Conscience would have such an ordinary name.”
“I am not your conscience, sir,” Mary said, feeling made fun of and annoyed to be shaken out of her reverie for nonsense. “And whimsicality such as this, whilst charming in a child, is not so appealing in a grown man.”
“Wait,” he said. “Do wait. I am so used to speaking in that silly way with silly young women that I quite forgot myself. Please stay and talk a little more.”
(from the prompt "Mary's season in London. Her moralising is a trial to her sisters but in the end she outshines them all.")

Summary
Sansa Stark dies in ice and fire, her thread of Fate severed too soon in the battle for Dawn; she is born again in blood and magic, the Old Gods weaving her anew.
Finding herself in a new world on the brink of magical civil war, scorned for the "impure" blood that runs in her veins, Sansa is determined she will never again be told that she is less than what she is worth. Through pain and suffering, she has learned how to turn righteous rage into armour, into weapons, and with the blessing of the Old Gods she will fight for what she believes in; for her family, for herself, and for the Fate of her new world.
