Summary
The blacksmith posting paid four times anything Kaia had ever made. The prince it came with hadn't smiled in four years.
When General Iroh hires a scrappy, underpaid blacksmith for Prince Zuko's rusted warship, he's not looking for someone to fix the doors: he's looking for someone who might fix his nephew. Kaia of Sui didn't sign up for that. She signed up for the money, the adventure, and an escape from a father who stopped speaking to her years ago.
But somewhere between dragging Zuko to music night and lying to military officers on his behalf, keeping her distance stops being an option, and the Fire Nation's war stops being someone else's problem.
slow-burn, enemies to friends to lovers, angst, found family, a girl who will not stop talking, poor descriptions of metal working, straddling the line between Zuko being an awkward turtleduck and super hot

Summary
"My last kiss was Lisa." Ianto shared, bitterly.
"Oh I'm sorry." Gwen started.
Ianto shook his head. "You forgot, don't worry about it Gwen, I'm not surprised that you have forgotten, I'm expecting that the rest of you have too." Ianto looked away from Owen, Gwen, Toshiko and Jack but couldn't prevent himself from seeing that Jack's usual stoic facial expression had been replaced with one of a pout.

" Though it's the toughest case I've yet to face, don't worry, I'm determined to succeed, follow my lead and, yes, indeed, and you will be Popular"
Malleus was not sure if he could completely trust that human; his roommate, with whom he had shared the last few weeks, was finally showing a sign of interest in helping with something other than gyaru makeup and mediocre magic tricks, but she was willing to make him more presentable to other people, according to her: "After I fix you, everyone will want to hang out with you, you'll be popular."Would Yuuna Oujou actually manage to make him popular? Or was it just another one of her morning silly ideas? He felt he had no choice other than to trust her.

Summary
A Eridian scout ship finds an injured human and returns him to Erid. Doctor Ryland Grace is initially excited by the prospect of another human being! But after a catastrophically failed first encounter where Ryland tries to save this newcomer's life as the expense of any trust, they must learn relearn to trust each other.
---
“If you leave,” Ryland pulled himself to his knees, “You’ll die.” He pressed his hands to his knees and stood to his full height.He lunged again, driving the stranger’s body into the wall. A pained roar echoed off the walls and threatened to drown out all else. A fist connecting with the side of his head. His vision blackened, vignetted at the edges. Grace screamed an answering roar of his own. Before his legs gave out, he dug in his heels, struggling against the man fighting for his life against him.

Summary
Dr. Ryland Grace saved two worlds and, against all odds, lived. He has a nice life now. He teaches kids, helps run atmospheric research for a species that can’t perceive light, and lives inside a bubble on a planet that would crush and cook him simultaneously if it got the chance. Which is fine. He’s qualified for all of those things.
The things he is not qualified for, however, include: planetary malfunctions of cosmic proportions, trauma surgery, and falling for a one-armed ex-convict who swears more in five minutes than Ryland has in his entire life.
The universe, as usual, did not check his résumé.

Summary
These past few weeks got MJ absolutely fucked up.
It's a miracle she’s managed to put up with everything that has happened this well.
So, to recap: she's been subjected to mind-control, thrown off from a roof, lowkey kidnapped, and then it was revealed to her (from an at least questionable source) that she has been under a spell for years at this point.
Oh, and to make matters worse, she's emotionally cheating on her boyfriend (she thinks? she doesn’t even know anymore).
Otherwise, well, how would you call it? How does one refer to the act of dreaming of being held, so tight and warm and safe, in the arms of another guy? A guy that’s most certainly not your boyfriend? A guy that also happens to be the masked vigilante commonly known as Spider-man?
So yeah. It's been a tough few weeks.

Summary
Gradually, as with all things, the memories of him started to fade. Castiel stopped believing that Cain would reach out to him. At some point, he stopped caring altogether. The bitterness he had felt at all of those years just being thrown away for seemingly no reason stopped feeling like acid in the back of his throat. He returned to the beach, strictly in the mornings before work, sometimes to run, and sometimes just to watch the early morning sky change colour.
But tonight was the night. He had closed the cafe, bid goodbye to Jack and Gabriel as was normal. Went home to wash off the humiliation of the day. Make a simple dinner. Ate alone, watching Jeopardy! It wasn't really that different from a normal evening.
Except it was abnormal, in its own way. Because Castiel's mind kept being pulled back to Dean. To the green eyes Castiel couldn't look away from. His sun kissed skin. Lopsided smile. Not for the first time that day, Castiel found himself taking deep breaths, willing his hammering heart to calm down.
