Summary
Reflections on familial bonds in Valdemar across the ages.
I truly wish to love her but I'm not so strong or wise
And when I look into her face, I see her father's eyes
For Love and Romance in Velgarth 2026, parent-child bonds. -

Summary
He snapped to attention when Randale requested it. He met the gruelling pace of his missions with stony resilience, continuing even when the others around him flagged and fell. Older and wiser than when he was first Chosen, he was a skilled and competent Herald, soldier, and mage who had learned to follow orders and was lucky enough to receive orders he could live with.
He would have noticed a spell burrowed under his skin - and if not, his Companion surely would have. But Yfandes raised no alarms until the day they were stopped on the roadside of a small village at the edge of Valdemar.
For April Foolery Crack-Fest 2026. Prompt: Fairy Tale AU. -

Summary
Simon is an omega, but he hasn't told anyone but The Mage. Omegas are rare, and he feels enough like a freak show attraction as it is.
There’s something wrong with Simon. She can smell it on his skin, slightly musky and tinged with guilt and fear that made her stomach roll. He’s flushed, too, skin pale and clammy; he was sick, her brain supplied as a suggestion, or Baz had upset him. By the time he stopped in front of her, sickness seemed more likely; there was something off about his smell that had nothing to do with the sharpness of anger or hurt.

Summary
In the aftermath of Peter's torture and the reveal of his superhero identity to the rest of the Avengers, our friendly neighborhood teenager grapples with a deeply impacted sense of self. Thankfully, he has Tony and the rest of the team by his side every step of the way.
“So this is the kid.” Clint shot Tony a flinty, uncertain look as Peter gave the gathered Avengers a nervous smile, the boy wringing the soft material of his mask in his hands. The kid we saw tortured went unspoken. As did the kid who you dragged to Germany, the kid we fought against, the kid we could have hurt or killed without ever knowing.

“Mr. Stark, does SI employ immigration lawyers?” Even with Tony’s excellent tech, the wind roared in his ears - or maybe that was his furious, pounding heart. “Could I borrow one?” -

Summary
Talia’s life had been built on a foundation of holidays and hope, on whimsical wondering that the stern Holderkin of Sensholding had tried and failed to beat out of her. She was born on Midsummer’s Eve; on that same day thirteen years later, she was Chosen by Rolan - not that she’d understood it at the time. With that in mind, it shouldn’t have surprised her that the next major holiday would bring another life-altering change with it.
Holidays tend to bring changes for Talia.

Summary
Even the Avengers think that Peter Parker is Tony Stark's personal intern; they really should have expected that someone would try to take advantage of that eventually.
Rated M for graphic depictions of torture in Ch1. Everything after that is T.

Summary
Magic crackled constantly under Willow's skin. Sometimes it was a dully glowing ember, happy to wait until Willow needed to call it forth; other times, it was a raging wildfire, burning and begging for her to release it. Her body hummed with the need to use it, trembling under the force of her restraint and only settling into a soothed state when she finally let magic pool at her fingertips. It was a constant desire, her own personal siren song.
And, according to Tara, her addiction.
A reflection on Willow's magic-addiction set during season 6, episode 6.

Summary
The knights find out that Merlin has magic - they don't take it well.
They had come for him in the middle of the night.
Merlin would have slept through the clank of chainmail, would not have woken to the soft noise of the door to Gaius’ chambers being pushed open. Only Lancelot’s bravery and kindness spared him, the knight raising his voice unnecessarily loud to call out “be careful, sire! If Merlin does have magic, there might be traps."

Supposedly, the crumbled ruins they were exploring were Goddess-touched, and a power of great worth could be found somewhere on their hallowed grounds.
