Summary
Their voices carried on around her, a hushed argument she had no desire to be an audience to. She let her hand press harder into the straw beneath them, careful to avoid brushing against the bandaged hand next to her as she fought to focus.
“You know how I feel about royalty.” Yoon spoke, the ice almost palpable in his voice. “They don’t deserve our respect. I hate them.”
The former princess didn’t raise her head, but as she felt the twin trails of water flow down her cheeks, she couldn’t help but think he was right in his contempt for her status.
After all, she hated herself too.
A more mature and slightly darker retelling of the original story, but with a heavier focus on how everyone tries to cope with their circumstances and their new journey. Plus a helping of canon divergence here and there and a Yona who might be a little more reckless in her need to save everyone, regardless of her own safety and the group's sanity.

“Oh come on, this is a very film-able moment. How many people can say they’ve captured the great Black Widow trying to bake?” The camera flips back solely on the red head, her hands planted firmly on her hips.
“No one, because anyone who has tried to is now dead.” She shot back, half-heartedly reaching out and swiping at the phone again, missing by mere inches this time.

Summary
The Luckey Cafe was a speciality even amongst travelling coffeeshops. One day, nothing, a vacant lot on the edge of town. The next, a full sized two-story building.
It would appear at the corner of a town, typically close to a Wizards Guildhall, and stick around for weeks at a time, before just disappearing in the night. Anyone out and about close to the building says they just blinked and it was gone, nothing but the exceptionally well branded travel cups in their hands to convince them that it had been there at all.
Nobody knew where it went, or where it came from. Nor did anyone know where to expect it.
When The Luckey Cafe settled somewhere, it was never wanting for customers, people of all scenes lining up for a chance to see the almost mythical cafe before it disappeared again.
So when it landed in Magnolia, well.
Chaos could only follow in its wake.- Language:

Summary
“Not into the whole superhero thing, then?” Steve asks Nancy.
“Of course she isn’t,” Jonathan mutters. “Nancy cares about real journalism.”
Steve raises his eyebrows. “And Spider-Man isn’t?”
“A man in tights swinging from webs?” Jonathan deadpans. “Definitely not, no.”
In which: Jonathan is the unfortunate Daily Bugle intern tasked with taking pictures of New York's new favorite superhero, Steve struggles with the trials and tribulations of maintaining a secret identity, and Nancy is just trying to do some actual goddamn investigative journalism for once.
Or, an au where Steve is Spider-Man.

Summary
Princess Lucy, raised to follow royal protocol with expectations already laid out for her, changes her mind about all of it when her father introduces her to his friend and lord's son on one eventful night, whose magic just happened to be descended from an extinct race of dragons.
Unbeknownst to either of them, they, along with several others, become the victims of a plot to sow paranoia and corruption within the kingdom. As Natsu later fights to free Lucy from captivity and her arranged marriage, even facing off against the fearsome Scarlet Knight to do so, he later comes to learn that Lucy was never the real target of her would-be husband and future king at all.- Language:

Summary
“I don’t even know why they’re here, I told them not to come.”
“They want to see Jee on Christmas,” Buck mumbled and shifted his weight, his shoulder knocking into Eddie’s. “Can’t blame them.”
“I told them to leave.”
“Why?”
Maddie sputtered, her eyes narrowed into confused slits. “Why?” She echoed. “Evan, why would I want them anywhere near us after what happened?”
