    Summary

    “I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.

    “I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”

    “You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”

     

    In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

    Summary

    Jihoon’s almost one hundred percent sure that Mingyu is going to kiss him. He won’t stop staring at his mouth, a shadow of a smile on his own, the pad of his thumb caressing Jihoon’s bottom lip. Fuck, Jihoon’s thinking through the haze of alcohol and longing, they’re gonna fuck everything up again. Why do they keep going to parties together when it’s clear this is their trigger to do stupid shit? Why do they keep isolating themselves during said parties, creating perfect opportunities to fuck everything up?

    What ever happened to starting over?

    -

    Mingyu and Jihoon are best friends and Jihoon tells himself that he doesn't want that to change. But unfortunately, the things that he claimed Don't Matter, do.

    Summary

    “Go on a date with me,” Seungkwan says.
    Vernon glances up from where he’s spreading cream cheese on half a bagel, blowing his hair out of his face so he can look at Seungkwan properly. It’s a weekend, which means no work, which means Vernon leaves his bottle of hair gel untouched on the counter and lets his hair do whatever it wants. This specific Saturday, right in that nice pocket of autumn weather that all those love songs seem to be about, there’s a single cowlick at the back of his head, and his bangs are doing that flopping thing right into his eyelashes - all boyish, and rumpled, and cute.
    Seungkwan hates weekends. More specifically, he hates how much he likes Vernon’s hair on weekends.
    “That’s not very romantic,” Vernon says. It takes Seungkwan a few seconds to remember what the context is. “I thought you liked roses and chocolates and stuff.”

    (or: seungkwan accidentally writes his own love story. vernon stares, and waits.)

    Summary

    Damen’s grip on his arm is painful. His face in Laurent’s is ashy and sheened with sweat.

    He says, “There was something in my drink.”

    (Damen is poisoned, Jokaste is framed, Laurent must find them an heir. He's put it off for so long already.)
