Summary
Lindiranae of Clan Lavellan had been primed for leadership since the day she became first apprentice, but an unexpected turn of fate sees her don the mantle of authority in a way she never expected. Not only must she guide the Inquisition to victory against Corypheus, but she must also learn to navigate a world that is a stark contrast to the one she knows, and master some of her worst fears in the process.
Cullen Rutherford left behind his life as a Templar, haunted by a bloody past fraught with tragedy and failure. The Inquisition offered a chance to find redemption, but not without cost. Yet despite his own private struggles, he finds a sense of belonging in his new role as Commander of the Inquisition forces.
Although the fate of Thedas hangs in the balance, something wholly unexpected blooms within the strife and conflict. Two stubborn, wilful individuals come together and inadvertently soothe one another's old wounds and open each others minds to their very different worlds, despite a shaky start and a lot of awkwardness.

Summary
In the year 2551, Lynn Walsh is a thermal management engineer on a Terran Accord cargo hauler with a love of chess, a bad leg, and a less than perfect partner in the ship’s Captain.
Gaelen Echeveria, Second Bloom, is a member of an invading race of shapeshifting imperialist aliens called the Affini. He takes after a dragon, and is looking for a human pet to spoil rotten and make into his princess.
When Lynn’s ship encounters the Affini, the two are fated to meet, and Lynn is thrust into a world beyond her imagination, full of wonder. In time she meets a kind, if predatory, older fox-like woman from another domesticated species, and the three are destined to entwine.

Summary
"My attention is caught by pure white hair tied into a tight, albeit messy, ponytail; cascading down the soft, pale fabric of his thin hooded sweater, the light shade almost blending with that porcelain skin, the only distinguishing feature being a faint rosy glow tinting those delicate cheeks. Isn't it a bit cold for such light clothing? I've had to layer many jackets, even bring out my thickest fur hat to even hope to bear the biting chill of winter on my skin.. Of course, it's nothing compared to the freezing winters back home in Moscow, but I'd never been able to endure that either..."
A psychological war waged between two strange people.

Summary
“Did you come for any important reason?” Washington asked, trying to convey urgency into his tone and hoping that it would give away his meaning well enough. It didn’t seem to work, as Lafayette only looked confused, tilting his head to the side slightly like an uncertain puppy. He opened his mouth and then closed it again, before taking a deep breath through his nose as though he were steeling his nerves for a task that scared him greatly. Perhaps he was. Then-
“Je suis vraiment désolé de vous déranger si vous êtes occupé, monsieur le Général ! Mais je voulais parler un peu, et avec cette tempête il n’y a rien à faire… alors, si cela ne vous importune pas, je souhaiterais passer un moment en votre compagnie? Je partirai bien sûr si je vous gêne!”Lafayette just wants to spend some time with Washington, except neither of them understand each other. (There are translations for the French in the author's notes at the end, don't worry. Although if you read it without the translations first, maybe you'll get poor Washington's confusion, so that could work too.)

Summary
Freddie knows drinking is a self-destructive coping mechanism, but it also feels like a reward at the same time. He feels like he needs something; something that is enough to punish himself for every time he made a fuck up, did something wrong, or lost in chess, so he resorts to more harmful and destructive methods to cope.

Summary
Harper Vale never meant to step into another world.
A Cambridge scholar specialising in advanced mathematics and cognitive systems, she treats emotion like an error in the equation and people as predictable patterns. But when a series of impossible events draws her into the Devildom, Harper finds herself unexpectedly recruited to conduct a behavioural study of demons.
Tasked with analysing the seven avatars and documenting how their emotional attributes shape their cognition, Harper approaches each field study with precision… until one demon refuses to remain an objective subject.
What begins as analysis spirals into something far more volatile: a collision of logic and instinct, strategy and emotion, and the slow, unsettling realisation that some equations rewrite themselves.
