    “No extra credit.” He made a noise that might have been a laugh. “You ask that every time.”
    “Well, I have to try.” Rey said, weakly. “Can you make an exception?”
    A lone eyebrow ascended his lofty forehead into his hairline. “Try harder, Miss Kenobi.”

    Summary

    A Bridgerton/Regency style AU

    Lady Galadriel enjoys going to balls as a spectator, but has no faith in finding the perfect suitor on the dance floor. However, when the lost king of the Southlands comes to town for the season, she is immediately drawn to the mysterious and handsome Lord Halbrand.

    Summary

    You have three new messages. First message, from 4:12 AM.

    Hey Samira, I’m gonna just keep calling until I’ve spoken to you or you show up in the Pitt, but uh… you gotta come get your boy. He’s f-fine, just a little concussion, it may or may not be my fault—I didn’t start the fight, but I sure didn’t de-escalate it, you know? Anyway, Abbot saved my ass from getting murked in Chairs and uh. It’s not great. Love you, bye!

    Second message, from 4:18 AM.

    Hey Samira, he’s specifically asked me to stop calling you, but I’m more afraid of you than I’m afraid of him, because you’ll be disappointed in me and that’s worse—

    Jack Abbot takes a punch. It's not what hurts the most.

    “I don’t know what she’ll do when I’m gone.  It’ll just be her and Daddy left.  She’ll probably go crazy not having something to fuss over.”
    “A bit wild, maybe.  Never crazy.”
    She tossed her head back and laughed, a melodious tinkle of wind chimes in a strong wind.
    “Wild?  You obliviously don’t know my mama.
    He just nodded and looked away.  “Yeah, you’re right.”

    Summary

    “Fuck you.”
    He grasps her chin and she hates the condescension in his eyes, the smirk in his tone. “You were all too willing earlier, princess.”
    She spits at him, narrowing her eyes, cursing him a million times over in her head as he wipes it from his face. She doesn’t like how he smiles now, as if he liked that, a wolf stalking its prey. “Be a good girl, Galadriel. You don’t want me to need to hurt anyone else, do you?”

    Or the not quite First Daughter/Assassin Halbrand fic.

    Summary

    After a series of failed dates set up by her mom, Samira finds herself at a bar for a one-girl pity party, which is quickly crashed by Jack Abbot. Somehow, she goes from running out the back door of a five-star Italian restaurant to eating pizza in a hole-in-the-wall with Jack, and Samira never expected all of those failed dates to lead to stumbling through her apartment door with Jack as the two of them finally give into the tension they had been struggling to push aside.

    Summary

    Eddie leaned forward as much as he was able, given how he’d been trussed up. “Jesus, let me put this in terms you’ll understand. If you do not call Miss Glass right now, it will be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it will be for you to pass into middle age. Call her.”

    Summary

    “I don’t know who you think you’re performing for, but I can assure you no one on this floor is interested in hearing you get laid.”

    “Performing,” Halbrand repeats, trying to contain a laugh, “is that what you think is happening?”

    “Why else make all those noises?” Galadriel scowls. “This isn’t porn, this is real life; you don’t need to be that…that vocal about it.”

    “You do if it’s good.”

    There are only two things Galadriel hates about her apartment — the thin walls, and her new neighbor: Halbrand Maia, and his endless parade of late-night hookups.

    Summary

    “Well, I can’t have that,” Halbrand tells her, and he downs the rest of his draft before placing the empty glass back down onto the bar with a thud. He pulls out his wallet and pays for it. “I’d feel really bad if I left you stranded out here,” he starts to say, tucking his wallet back into his pocket, “so what’s our heading, princess?”

    Galadriel’s eyes grow wider, and she finally looks at him. “Our heading?” she asks, like she doesn’t know what he means when she does.

    Halbrand nods his head. “Yes, our heading. Where are we going next?”

    We?”

    Halbrand meets her eyes, seeing the slight flush deepening the apples of her cheeks. Some of it’s alcohol. Some of it’s embarrassment. Some of it might just be because she finds him attractive if her little lip biting is anything to go by. “Yes,” he agrees firmly, “we. We’re out here together right now, aren’t we? Why not make the most of it?”

    .

    Galadriel goes out drinking after a bad breakup, and Halbrand shows up to put all the pieces back together.

    Summary

    Halbrand "Sauron" Maia had it all. Control of the family business after the fall of Morgoth, his enemies' respect and fear, his thriving empire. There was nothing he wanted that he did not already have in his possession, an alpha in full control.

    Then, along came Artanis like a wrecking ball.

    He stalked towards her slowly as he spoke, “I saw you back there, bloody sword in hand, bodies all around you and hellfire in your eyes.” Just a breath away, his voice low, “Yet it took every ounce of my willpower not to fall to my knees for you.”

    Summary

    The cold blade is sharp like moonlight and still dripping with blood when he touches it to her cheek.

    "Here to avenge your father, little rabbit?" he asks lightly, as if the night's slaughter was merely a common banquet entertainment.

    No one at the lavish banquet notices the smallest and most rootless of the imperial princesses. Except that is, the man who kills the emperor.

    The dragon offered Katara a deal: protection for her family and tribe if she lived with it for a year and a day. And she said yes. Because what other way was there to save her people?

    But there was more to the dragon than Katara bargined for.
