Summary
“Jaina looked from the head of the table to her left, at Anduin talking animatedly with Tyrande, and then to the empty seat at the other end. Its emptiness bothered her. In what way, she wasn’t sure. But, despite the atrocities the Banshee had committed, Jaina couldn’t help but feel like there was something very wrong about not seeing Sylvanas Windrunner and her cold, sarcastic arrogance there. The sour feeling in her gut became restlessness.”
When the Warchief of the Horde returns to her immediate arrest, Jaina finds herself wanting to figure out just what leads the Banshee Queen to make the decisions she makes — and ends up finding far more than she bargained for.

“I’d prefer if we talked this out before gettin’ into uncivil territory, ma’am.”
A pair of feline ears flicked at the title, as though uncertain how to process it. Yang couldn’t imagine her being called by anything else.

Summary
A dragon's love lost. A new life granted. A memory she can't quite grasp.
Yang Xiao Long is a brawler, a wanderer with no purpose but to find her next adventure. She thinks she will always be alone, abandoned by her mother, friendless and living day-to-day on the coin she's paid for her deeds.
But then she finds friends: a red-cloaked huntress, an escaped summoner, and a former warlock who is just...so familiar, somehow.
(A RWBY fantasy/D&D AU, ft. Bumbleby, with some side Schneekos, Nuts and Dolts, and Renora.)

Summary
“I lost everything.” Blake’s voice breaks, the end of her word vanishing in a croak.
“Like what?” Yang demands, pushing on despite the fact that she wants to drop everything. The past pieces of herself—of them—are already on the floor at their feet. There are fragments and shards cluttered beneath them and Yang is done with attempting to find enough glue to hold herself together. “What have you possibly lost, Blake?”
“I lost my home.” You. “I lost my happiness.” You. “I lost the only person I’ve ever loved.”

Summary
Asami's never gone on a quest in her life. Never even wanted to. Honest. That's why she decided to become an Alchemist: brewing potions to sell to weary travelers in exchange for coin and stories of the world outside her town's walls.
Then, one day, her friends come to her with a venture that's too good to be true. Just go harvest some herbs from the forest in the next Duchy over. All she needs to do is tell them what to pick. What could possibly go wrong? After all, all of them are seasoned adventurers with years of experience fighting monsters she's only seen in books.
And maybe she'll finally get to talk to that Ranger they're always hanging around with.
Korra.

Summary
Yasha knows she can be scary and off-putting. Frankly, she takes pride in it. So with Mollymauk spending Thanksgiving with his new boyfriend, Yasha posts a Craigslist ad offering to pose as the world's worst date to anyone who wants to spice up a family dinner. She gets to be awkward on purpose, for once, and she bags a free meal and a way to one-up Molly's stories, so it's pretty much a triple win.
Beauregard hasn't seen her parents in years. When she's forced into attending one last family get-together, she decides to take the opportunity to burn her bridges once and for all. Then Jester sends her this weird Craigslist ad about a seven-foot-tall ex-con who can probably deadlift Beau or crush her between her thighs—dealer's choice—and, well, uh. She can't say she's not interested.
