And Still Be Who You Were by Jinxed_Ink
Fandoms: The Radiant Emperor Series - Shelley Parker-Chan
21 Jun 2024

Summary
“So,” Zhu said, once they’d traveled in silence for what she judged to be close to an hour, “could this humble monk entertain you in any way, Miss? Any stories of happy brides you’d like to hear?”
“Would any of them be true?” Ma asked. There was something almost distracted in her tone, as though she was addressing herself more than she was addressing Zhu. “I don’t need cheering.”
“Maybe not,” Zhu allowed. “But it’s boring to sit in silence. And this monk tells excellent stories.”As a monk of Singing Hills, Zhu has spent years traveling the country and collecting stories and breaking the rules only a little. She hasn't had to confront what other desires she might have for her life, or think about the fate she's stolen, until one day, on a provincial road, she has a chance encounter with a reluctant bride.

Summary
Rumi adds, dismissively sweet, "Do you even know your way around a sword?"
A beat.
To his credit, Jinu isn't always predictable.
Between one blink and the next, Rumi throws her blade up with a harsh clang! as a curved hwando comes flashing towards her throat, wreathed in sickly pink fire and little more than a wicked blur in Jinu's hands that flings up a spray of discordant sparks where it clashes against her own, sending a hard jolt through her arms—and Jinu grins down at her over their crossed blades, the tip of a fang peeking out crookedly over his bottom lip.
"I don't know," he says, eyes dancing. "You tell me."
Or: Rumi discovers that Jinu can use a sword. They unlock a new dimension to their fighting-as-flirting strategy.

"Don't think you can escape what you are."
For a horrifying moment, Jinu realizes he had really thought he could.
(Jinu doesn't betray Rumi at the Idol Awards. It still doesn't work out the way they hope.)

Summary
Tylendel twists around, startled off-balance. “Healing magic? Why?”
Apparently they’ve reached the limit on information Vanyel is willing to share. “It’s important,” he says, clipped and unhelpful. “For the safety and future of Valdemar.”
“Because some Bard had a vision,” Tylendel says skeptically.
“Because I’ve dreamed about what will happen if we don’t learn,” Vanyel tells him plainly. “And it’s not a future that any of us want to see come to pass.”

Summary
“I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.
“Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.
She freezes.
It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.
She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.

Five times people assumed Rumi and Jinu are together (and one other time entirely)

It was true, Cosette allowed, that he was nothing at all like the beautiful young man from the Luxembourg, but she must not judge him unkindly for that. The world was full of young men, and it would be quite tedious if all the handsome ones were handsome in the same way.

Summary
Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.
Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.
He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.
So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.
(a Ladynoir hurt/comfort texting fic, with established Adrienette)

End As You Mean to Begin by Annawry

Summary
At the end of Advent Children Cloud is offered a choice that he won't remember but that will change the destiny of two timelines. One will go forward without him, free of Sephiroth and JENOVA's corruption. And the other? Well. He's going to do his best to save everyone in this timeline, too, and he's going to do it while parenting three itty bitty little Sephiroth Remnants.
Otherwise known as the one where Cloud, disoriented from being resurrected in the past, kills a Shinra scientist by accident and sets off a chain reaction of events that may well bring Shinra to it's knees.
An ensemble cast, multiple POV, multiple story-line fic featuring:
⭐Found-family shenanigans as Cloud takes the itty bitty baby (~8 year old) remnants on the run from Shinra while being completely oblivious to the chaos he has wrought.
⭐Genesis and Sephiroth and Hojo and the super fun and not at all traumatic search for a cure for degradation.
⭐Angeal's amazing disappearing sword trick.
⭐The Turks being Turks, i.e: A Threat to Absolutely Everyone.Apologies, this is still on hiatus. I promise I haven't abandoned it though!

Summary
Angeal looked up judgmentally over the rim of his coffee cup. “You did kiss him without permission. Twice. That qualifies as sexual assault in several jurisdictions. It’s technically sexual harassment in Midgar.”
Genesis’ mouth was hanging open. He didn’t have the presence of mind to do anything about that. “Se…shu…” he wheezed.
“You need to remember,” Angeal said, “he grew up in Shinra Corporation.”
(Starring Genesis as someone terrible at romance, Sephiroth as someone almost as bad and far more clueless, and Angeal as the stoically sassy ace friend. Featuring Zack as agent of chaos.)
