"I- I- Lily, listen to me. Listen to me, please-"
"There's nothing more we can do."
"He will kill you!"
"Then he'll kill me, Severus!"
"Please. Please, convince James to break the oath. If he knows- if he knows, maybe he'll change his mind."
"Break the oath? Break the oath? You're smart enough to know, Sevie-"
"I don't want you to die!"
- The Pensieve memory of Lily Evans and Severus Snape, September 29th, 1981.Harry Potter was born a freak. He always knew that. The addled orphan of drug addicted parents, dropped off at his respectable relatives’ house, only for them to go on and die in a car crash. It was alright. One day he was going to be a zookeeper, probably. Or just something that worked with snakes.

Summary
Lyonel’s post-tournament hangovers rarely had anything to do with the amount of spirits he’d consumed.
Even though it left Lyonel feeling like the ass end of a mule, there was nothing like days on end of having his blood up, of tearing through the lists against any alpha, beta, or omega that was brave enough to tap his shield. The noise, the chaos, the crash-splinter of lances and the bone-jarring impact of melee weapons, all of it helped alleviate the storm perpetually trapped underneath Lyonel’s skin.
Lyonel leaves Ashford without fanfare, without answers, and without Duncan.
Or so he thought.

In the dark, sometimes, he imagined it. Some boy or girl like him, soot-winged, alone. How their hand might feel in his, their wings curved over his head. For once not the largest thing in the room. For once, his body just the right size.

"Most men only want your help or your head.", Ser Baratheon flared out his scent, the smoke element overpowering petrichor now, and leaned forward, "Have you come for my head?"
"N-no, milord.", Dunk stammered, beginning to look for an exit, he was big, but he was fast, he could make it to his camp and get all three horses on the road before they grabbed him but then what?
"Then why the fuck are you in my tent?", Ser Baratheon seemed to enunciate each word with disbelief.OR
Omega!Dunk arrives to a tourney a poor nobody and leaves as legend for the small folk.

Summary
The Prince is a good man. Dunk reminded himself. The soul of chivalry. He wouldn’t be cruel, not even with punishment. Moving slowly, Dunk grasped his sword and raised it above his head for Baelor to take.
“May the gods have mercy on us both”, Baelor muttered and then there was the familiar whistle of a sword being unsheathed. Dunk did his best not to flinch. He may have been as thick as a castle wall but he was as strong as one too. He could handle pain and he could handle dying.

Summary
Duncan Smith--orphan and omega--has just reunited with his great aunt's ex-boyfriend, a long-haul truck driver named Arlan who's offered him a space in his single-wide trailer. It's been recently rezoned for the affluent Wendwater Secondary School, where Dunk has a chance to prove himself worthy of Arlan's support. He just has one rule: avoid alphas, especially the angry ones.
Only, one alpha keeps showing up, and Duncan can't bring himself to ignore him.

Summary
“Is it okay if I touch you?” the man breathes.
Simon doesn't know why he asks. No, it's not okay. None of this is okay.
“Please,” he continues when Simon doesn't respond. “I-I need permission.”
Simon closes his eyes. It's his own type of silent defiance. If this man isn't just fucking with him – if he does, for some strange reason, feel bad or guilty about capturing him, then good. Let him drown in it.
Simon is captured by a compulsive liar who, bafflingly, gives him food, smiles at him, and pretends the Quiet Rapture never happened.
Grace saves the life of a violent human who seems to be under the terrifying delusion that every star and planet has disappeared without a trace.

Summary
“Would be safer,” continued Rowan, “If we had a guard, of sorts. A knight, even. One who we knew wouldn’t try us, but could scare off an alpha. Or knock them into the dirt,” she finished with a grin.
Duncan stared at her as the three of them stared back at him. Daisy had a big grin on her face, Beony with her dark brows raised, and Rowan with a look of pure satisfaction on her face, the cat that caught the canary.

Summary
“Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”
That made Grace pause. “What?!”
“If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”
“Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.
“Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

Summary
Mindy Park is rapidly realising that the first intelligent extraterrestrial to make contact with the human race thinks they’re fucking stupid. She’s pretty sure that Dr Grace isn’t accurately translating half the things Rocky is saying, but most of what he is telling her is that Rocky has a better way of doing what NASA wants them to do, and honestly, it seems like Rocky is mostly right. She probably doesn’t want to know what the other half of what Grace’s new alien friend is saying, if the things that are making it through what she’s calling the “middle school teacher filter” are “why would you do something the dumb way when you could do it the right way”.
or,
Mindy has a headache, Grace has trauma, Mark is confused and Rocky is wondering how humans made it in to space when they're all so, so dumb.

Summary
For as long as he can remember, Zuko knew he would have no say in who he would marry. Anyone familiar with basic royal customs would realize it as well. Marriage wasn’t a luxury or some grand display of love; marriage was for convenience and a power move if done correctly. It meant nothing to Zuko. He was raised with the knowledge that he would one day be sent off to live with a stranger for the sake of his nation, and it didn’t matter if he ended up happy or not. His happiness didn't matter.
All this to say, when his father tells him that he is to marry a stranger from the Southern Water Tribe and use their marriage as an opportunity to spy on the enemy, Zuko knows he has no choice. It's just...he didn't expect this stranger to be so kind to him.

Summary
"Xiao-he, you need to start hitting them back." From what Luo Yuan had gathered from Binghe's story, and what he could remember of PIDW, Qing Jing had partly eaten him alive because he was so sweet and polite. The rich kids up there only saw someone who was both weak and below them, therefore perfectly within their rights to stomp on. "If they want to treat you like a dog, you remind them that dogs bite."
His sweet, adorable, little brother hunches his shoulders inwards and sniffles. The last of his tears are drying on his cheeks, the salt tracks already chapping them.
"But... Yuan-ge... Shizun says that-"
"Fuck him!"
Shen Yuan wakes up as something that shouldn't exist. He decides to be a good big brother.

Summary
Waking up after the events of the trial, Ser Duncan the Tall is more confused than ever. Prince Baelor is completely uninjured and nobody seems to remember what has happened but him.
Nor does it explain the reaction upon the discovery of Dunk wounded within Ashford castle, mistaken for a mistreated servant of the household. The dragon princes of the realm do not seem to appreciate such treatment and immediately take Dunk under their wing, much to the hedge knight’s bewilderment.

Dragons as Westeros knows them are gone, their return not prophesied for another hundred years. But there’s been reported sightings of them for years now. Coincidentally, those sightings happen around the same time a Ser Arlan of Pennytree and his squire are in town. Nobody puts the two together until a certain tourney that changed the course of history.
