Summary
An unexpected visitor brings news that a rival Alpha is interested in taking over Beacon Hills. This means that Derek has to travel to Colorado to convince Werewolf Society to deny that petition. Packs with a mated alpha look stronger and more stable, so Derek needs a mate. Or more accurately, he needs someone to pretend to be his mate. Enter Stiles, who is somehow Derek's best option. Etiquette lessons bring them closer together than either of them expected, and the part of Derek that is more wolf than human is starting to take an interest.

he’s gonna say it’s love by TheGreatSwordSwallower

Summary
“See, Tartaglia, you are to care for the children. All five of them,” Pierro says.
Ajax’s stomach drops. Five. He tries to protest, but the Director’s voice cuts like breaking ice.
“You can and you will. It is Her Majesty’s and Morax’s will. If the old god finds you satisfactory, the Gnosis will be returned to us.”So this is what She believes of him. That he can fight wars, raise children, carry any burden without complaint. And the truth is, he would. If She asked him to drown Liyue, he would. If She asked him to drown himself, he would.
What are Yaksha-turned-children in comparison? If it gets Ajax the gnosis, then he will do everything in his power to raise the children.
He will do everything in his power to please Morax.
or: the summer Ajax, as his task in order to acquire the Geo Gnosis, becomes an au pair in Liyue for four-Yaksha-turned-children + Alatus, and consequently learns what it means to love — and to leave.

Summary
"Welcome to a new user experience! You have triggered this interface with the keywords, ‘Stupid game! Stupid devs! I want my f*****g money back!’ You are now bound to the character Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger of the Fatui, codename: Childe! We hope you have an enjoyable user experience and we welcome you once again to Genshin Impact 2.0!”
Those are some of the first words Ajax, starving college student extraordinaire, has the misfortune of hearing upon waking up in a brave new world from what he's fairly sure is a very fatal accident involving water and a shit ton of electricity.
Okay, so he's not dead. That's good. But what's this about him being stuck playing the character Tartaglia? Tartaglia, as in the no-good, one-dimensional, cartoonish villain who met his untimely, gruesome death in the first act of the original game?
Forget this. Like hell Ajax is going to share that fate.
And so begins one man's journey to save himself from his awful destiny.

Summary
When Rex Lapis received the contract proposition from the Tsaritsa herself, he considered it thoroughly. Amidst the various conditions and technicalities, Rex Lapis issued a crucial demand: a helping hand in challenging the people of Liyue.
Without this aid, he declared, he couldn’t part with the Gnosis—his land, this diamond of the city, must be protected at all costs.
The Harbinger, wreaking havoc upon Rex Lapis’ beloved city, proved to be more resourceful than the combined strength of the Adepti and the Qixing. As the Jade Chamber collapses beneath the force of an ancient god, Morax, the Lord of Geo, returns from the dead.
Or, more accurately, from his disappointingly brief retirement.

Summary
The world came into focus slowly. A soft bed beneath his back and a heavy comforter weighing down his chest. It was warm and comfortable. Ajax didn’t want to open his eyes. But he could sense he wasn’t alone and after his terrible few nights, he couldn’t risk letting his guard down,
He blinked his eyes open and everything looked strange. Colors were heightened and he groaned as a headache throbbed behind his eyes.
“Take it slow,” Zhongli told him, his voice soft and closer than Ajax expected.
“What h-happened?” he asked. “The last thing I remember was…”
The memory of that horrid burning pain rushed in and Ajax reached for his neck. It was still bandaged and sore. God, he was so thirsty.
“It was the only way,” Zhongli said sadly. “I am sorry.”
Amor fati: Latin; love of fate; accepting positive and negative experiences in one's life.
Ajax learns to love and live again with the help of Zhongli.

Summary
To forgo the chance to eliminate Rex Lapis just to pleasure him—that is the arrogance of the young, the brash, the undefeated.
“Show me yourself,” Zhongli orders, perhaps arrogant as well, old, bored and undefeated.
The hitman chuckles softly but complies, raising his hands to lower the mask. It now rests around his neck, revealing his face. Zhongli examines him—not for strategic purposes. He simply enjoys the pretty face, the cheerful smile of tempting lips, the flush covering freckles on his cheeks.
“How handsome you are,” he remarks. Compliments are the easiest way to gauge a person. There is something genuine, unfiltered, in the way people react to praise—something no amount of training or self-discipline can fully mask.
Six months ago, Fatui's attempts to eliminate Rex Lapis began—from plots to disrupt his work to assassination attempts. None of them have been competent enough to harm Rex Lapis personally, so when he is attacked in the car park of his own building, and the assassin does indeed have impressive martial arts skills… the blood in his veins rushes faster and pounds louder in his ears.

Summary
The handwriting is not as sharp as he’d envision from a man whose mission is honing himself into a blade. It carries an innocence that sits completely opposed to the death it heralds. The cursive bends elegantly around imaginary straight lines, every letter flawlessly aligned, masterfully connected to the others with fine yet firm strokes. A most intriguing penmanship, revealing a precision that Zhongli can’t help but hope he’ll soon be acquainted with. The fangs behind the smile.
It takes a single reading to memorize the name and the address noted down, yet his stare lingers on the words some more, as if they could answer the cravings of a god’s curiosity. They leave him with a charming promise of more.
Or: Zhongli develops a fascination towards Childe's violence.

Summary
There's a unicorn in Beacon Hills. A fricken' unicorn. In fricken' Beacon Hills, California. And it turns out that unicorns aren't drawn towards virgins in a happy-go-lucky let-me-lay-my-not-at-all-metaphorical-horn-in-your-lap way. No. They kill them. And guess who's the only virgin idiotic enough to get sucked into the Beacon Hills supernatural scene? Stiles, that's who.

Summary
Izuku feels a hand grip the back of his jacket before he can even turn around to see what's there, and he’s being thrown onto the floor.
He launches himself at whoever came up behind him, and as he collides with them, he finds himself dwarfed by their height - they overpower him easily, taking hold of his wrists as he struggles without a weapon.
He’s pushed back against a tree, an arm pressed to his throat, pinning him to it.
Izuku looks up and is faced with blue and grey eyes.
“I know you,” Todoroki says flatly.
Izuku Midoriya is picked as the male tribute for District Seven, and even he, at seventeen, knows he has no chance of winning the Hunger Games.
Maybe he'll survive better with an ally.

“Tony fucking Stark,” Clint says, and he points at the black smoke. “Did you blow up that base, you piece of shit?”
“Absolutely not. I almost got blown up with it.”
Clint is not alone. A few yards behind him, a scrawny figure halts and squints at Tony from underneath a frayed baseball cap. Sunken eyes. Dressed in a black undershirt and cargo pants.
Can’t be older than eighteen.
“What are you doing here?”
Clint jerks his head at the boy behind him. “SHIELD mission. Extracting a hostage.”
Tony glances back at the teenager, whose face has now morphed into something entirely impassive. “He seems thrilled about his rescue.”
—
Tony is roped into a mission to transport a teenager to safety. But when things go south, it soon becomes more and more puzzling who the teenager is and what ‘safety’ means for him.- Language:

Summary
“Understandable, given your situation,” Zhongli offers diplomatically. “If it is any consolation, I feel much the same way.”
A possibility crosses Childe's mind, and his expression changes thoughtfully. “Say, what if we made a deal? This is the Land of Contracts, after all, it should surely be appropriate.”
He can tell he’s piqued Zhongli’s interest, as the man’s head tilts and masked amber eyes narrow in on Childe’s face. “Oh? I have to admit, Master Childe, I am not particularly looking for new business ventures at the moment."
Childe waves a gloved hand dismissively. “No, no, not of that nature. I mean for the Hunt.”
Zhongli appears even more intrigued. “I’m listening.”
With a devious grin, Childe leans toward Zhongli and speaks lowly, though there’s no indication anyone is listening in on their conversation. “What if we partnered up for the Hunt? You’re not looking for a match, I’m not looking for a match, it’s a win-win opportunity.”

Morax had always seemed so untouchable. So invincible. More like an immortal god than a man.
Childe was the one who was reckless. Diving headfirst into danger, getting into fights, mouthing off to people with no remorse or restraint. Childe was the one who was destined to die in a shootout before the age of forty.
Morax was never supposed to die like this, and Childe was never supposed to outlive him.

Or: Morax, leader of Liyue’s criminal underworld, is assassinated at the Rite of Descension. Childe copes.

Witches are now officially Stiles’ least favorite. They suck. He hates them and their stupid human sacrificial rituals, and their stupid evil knives.
Call him biased because one of said stupid knives is buried to the hilt in his chest, but Stiles doesn’t care. He’s bleeding out, lying in a bed of leaves and rocks, staring up at a canopy of trees and stars. Witches are the worst.

“I don’t…know how," Derek whispers, and it's the truth.
Derek doesn’t know how to want things for himself, how to believe that he deserves it — Stiles hears both and more in the silence that follows.
“Well,” Stiles decides, “we’ll work on it. And until you do, I’ll just have to believe hard enough for the both of us.”A kidnapping, an excess of water, and a journey to trust and control: one night, and the summer that led to it.

Summary
“Are you a Sentinel?” he blurts, before remembering Skirk's reticence to questions.
She doesn’t stop moving, but she does glance at him from the corner of her eye.
“No,” she says. “But you are a Guide.”
Ajax blinks, faltering. The woman does not stop there.
“You have also been blessed by Celestia. That Vision was next to you when I found you. To come into both blessings while in the Abyss.” She pauses. “You’re either extremely fortunate, or perhaps extremely cursed.”
“A Guide?” Ajax’s brow furrows. “No, I must be a Sentinel.”
------
Ever since Ajax was young, he has dreamed of being a Sentinel like his father. With heightened senses and strength, he could easily be a renowned adventurer, able to make a name for himself.Life does not quite work out that way.
