Summary
Lan Pharmaceuticals, a century-old legacy pharma empire that ventured into luxury skincare some 20 years ago finally launches its first ever accessible line and watches it spectacularly TANK.
Enter market specialist Wei Wuxian, who is just what they need, who can rescue a brand even from the depths of hell; and who, quite inconveniently, also happens to be their head of IT and younger heir's ex from college.
OR: an epistolary account of the near-impossible salvation of Lan Pharmaceuticals' first ever mass-market skincare brand, told entirely through internal communications

Summary
Astarion found himself watching Gale more than he was watching Dirty Dancing. He looked quite young to be getting divorced, he thought to himself. The gossip in him was dying to know the full story, but he knew full well that it would be really stupid to start prying into a practical stranger’s personal life.
As he was about to ask, because fuck it, he was probably never seeing this man again, Gale reached below his seat and grabbed a notebook and pen from a satchel. A satchel. The man was going on what amounted to a mid life crisis of a holiday (or, to be fairer to him, a third of a life crisis, because he looked to be about Astarion’s age), and he’d brought a satchel?!
**
Lawyer Astarion Ancunín had a chance encounter with film professor Gale Dekarios on a flight to New York. And then another chance encounter at a bar. And when he found out he’s in the middle of a messy divorce, well, what was Astarion to do? Aside from sleep with him, which was obviously a given.
Astarion didn’t believe in love stories. But life had accidentally thrown him into one of his own.

Summary
When he looks up, there’s a man standing before him. A man with deep brown eyes, a sharp jaw covered in facial hair, and a crown perched atop dark, unruly hair.
“Rise, Sir Barnes.”
Bucky was barely sixteen when they took him from home, put steel in his hand, and told him he was a soldier. He’s twenty-nine now, and after over a decade of fighting someone else’s wars, he has no loyalty left to give this kingdom—left it in the snow along with his limb—until he’s knighted by the Merchant of Death.

Summary
Contents of this fic: 1 Zevran: smooth as all-get-out, miserable, and totally unused to kindness. 1 Rhodri: appallingly awkward, embarrassingly kind, laughs at own jokes. Mix the two gently and carefully until combined, and point and laugh/despair (delete as applicable) at their boundless foolishness for added flavour.
I'd say bon appetit, but honestly, 'good luck' seems more appropriate here.
