Summary
Orym turns around and thunks his head against the soup pot.
"That’s terrible," he says, hoping Will can’t see the grin that’s threatening to split his face in half.
"I'm not wrong," Will says, delight beaming through his voice as a board clatters down on the bench and two strong arms wrap around him from behind. "It’s us, babe!"
"No, no, absolutely not," says Orym, with as much affected disdain as he can manage when squeezed up against his husband, which is not very much at all. "I am not an onion—"
On a cool Yulisen evening in autumn, Orym gets home from work, Will has a semi-successful trip to the market, and together, they make soup.

Summary
It's been three weeks since the protective charms surrounding Orym were dispelled, and the curse sank its barbs into him. Three weeks since those agonising hours as bone grew and joints coaslesced and new wings tore their way out of his back.
Three weeks since he turned overnight from a lithe and graceful soldier into an ordinary halfling with too-big wings, stumbling around as clumsily as any baby bird.

Summary
Twenty-five words. Orym closes his eyes and traces over the glyphs again, catching his thumbnail in the grooves, working his way around the pattern they make. Sometimes he plans messages for days, ensuring he can tell Dorian everything important. Every time, there are things he needs to leave out. Words he wishes desperately that he could say.
It's a quiet night. He presses his thumb over the large rune in the centre of the stone, and opens his eyes to see it glow, bright as the North Star. He breathes in, with intent.
Orym can't sleep for the weight in his chest; a weight made of words he hasn't dared to be selfish enough to say.

Summary
“The bread definitely knows if you don’t think it’s going to work,” Orym had said, taking a hold of the dough after Dorian asked him to check it and giving it another few firm kneads on the bench. “Just have some faith it’s going to turn out okay. And besides…”
He gave Dorian a wry grin. “Worst that can happen is it’s so bad, Pâté V gets to enjoy it instead.”
In which the air of Sugar Moon Bakery is as heady with magic as it is with butter and sugar and yeast, expectations weigh heavy on even the hardiest of shoulders, and Dorian Storm makes cinnamon rolls.

Summary
Alonzo and Munkustrap have been best friends since they were young and carefree. They're older now - Munkustrap is the Protector of the junkyard, Alonzo his not-always-that-enthusiastic-about-his-role second-in-command. Between the growing threat of Macavity, more relationship tensions and confusions between their friends (and themselves) than you could shake a stick at, curious cats being too curious for their own good, and climate change, there's more than enough for the pair of them to deal with - and sometimes, far, far too much (considering they're neither of them even three summers old yet).
And somewhere along the way, Alonzo fell head-over-heels in love with Munkustrap. So there's that as well.

Summary
Wado is different. Not only is the white sword clearly special to Zoro, but her haki signature is also the least threatening of the three. She still feels dangerous, like any powerful weapon should, but it’s a serene sort of strength—something like a still, deep body of water or Zoro’s powerful body held still in meditation.
Sanji chases that familiar sensation deep into the ocean, even as his lungs start to burn and the pressure of the water threatens to crush him from above. Wado has been with the Straw Hats even longer than Sanji has, and he refuses to let the ocean have her.
Or; Sanji dives into the water after Wado, Zoro shares a secret in the middle of the night, and something shifts irrevocably between them.

Summary
“It’s been six years, Zeff.”
“So what?”
“Things change.”
Zeff let out a grunt in agreement, but his voice stayed steady when he stated:
“They do. Even the way you love can change, like how you’ve come to love them from a distance now, letting that love consume you as longing every year. But true love doesn’t go away and that’s the love you feel for them and it’s mutual.”Six years ago, Sanji chose to stay in the All Blue instead of continuing on with the Straw Hats. But every year since, he let the longing take over, reliving fond memories of each crewmate through the taste of their favorite dishes.
Now, more than ever, Sanji wants to rejoin them on their adventures—whether for a few more years or even decades. But he doesn’t know if they’d take him back. After all, a lot can change in six years.OR: a love letter from the Mugiwaras to Sanji because they are his real family.

For Morale by ihopethelightwillshineupon

Summary
A disastrous failure of a treasure hunt leaves the Straw Hats injured, exhausted and disappointed. Fortunately, Sanji knows just how to cheer his crewmates up: a good meal will surely improve their morale.
Unfortunately, Sanji is also injured and exhausted, and preparing a good meal is quite the challenge when you can’t use one of your hands. Zoro walks in on him having emotions about it, almost walks out again, and then decides to help out anyway.
Because, turns out, you don’t need hands to prepare a good meal. Just friends who help you out.

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

Summary
His eagerness, his talent for baking, his love of coffee… The cafe had needed a baker, and Thimble's arrival had seemed perfect. Perfect enough to make Viv glance towards the flagstone that she had buried the Scalvert’s Stone under when she thought no one was looking. Perfect enough to chalk up to magic and then put out of her mind.
Perfect enough—she admitted to herself later—that she hadn’t wanted to examine it any closer, for fear that looking too hard might reveal the flaw.
