    Summary

    A memory of a happy moment can be more painful than any wound, a bittersweet feeling of knowing that you were once happy and that those moments will never return.

    Or

    Giyuu and Kyojuro have built a quiet life together, until a landslide shatters everything.

    When Kyojuro wakes without a single memory of the man he loves, Giyuu must decide whether to hold on… or let go.

    Summary

    Not only had he brought Rapunzel back, but he’d saved her life. A heroic feat, and one completely unbefitting of him. Eugene wasn’t sure he was even capable of growing into those footsteps he’d set for himself, no matter how much time he’d be given. A lifetime worth of growth wouldn’t shape him into a person worthy of consideration.

    “Is that so?” asked the Queen, though instead of cutting through the tension, it only added to it. A million expectations, dozens of other accomplishments that would be attributed to him by association. He’d saved a life, had traded his own for that of the Princess, and would now have to answer to her parents. And they would find out that it was a one time thing, that he hadn’t done it because he valued her status as royalty but because he’d found something worth living for in her, because he’d realised that the world needed more people like her, and no matter what he said, it wouldn’t land. He didn’t have the grace to wrap it up nicely; whatever he could think of would be dropped at their feet, clumsy like a boy.

    /////

    Or: For the first time in a long time, Eugene feels completely out of his depth. He deals with it the same way he’s dealt with all things, until now.

    Summary

    Everyone knows about the Six Traitors’ Dynasty, now. It’s a requirement for passing your basic history exam, and you want to do that—because it’s one of the easy ones. It’s not like math or philosophy, fuck. But how do you create legends? And what’s in between the pages of the glorious battles, of bringing titans to their knees, broken and begging?

    What about the time that Poseidon threw an eel after Hestia, or when she answered back with a beehive full of fury. How about Zeus teaching Hera and Demeter how to embroider flowers onto their clothes? How about Aidoneus and Zeus teaming up to get back at the resident lord of pranks, their brother dearest and managing to rope Demeter into it after Poseidon manages to nail her with a bucket of fish heads?

    These are those stories. A little cute, a little gut-wrenching, a lot messy.

     

    The Six Traitors’ Dynasty’s teen-hood adventures in wine, women, war, and wonderful vices.

    Summary

    Zuko is a prince, son of the fire lord. Before his banishment he could want for nothing materially. Gold, clothes, jewels, anything was his for the taking. And then he had nothing. Until Sokka, who was maybe his friend, started to give him gifts. And a cross purposes conversation with Katara makes Zuko assume that these gifts contain a lot of cultural and emotional significance. And he accepts.

    A story where Zuko falls in love via all the perfect little gifts Sokka gives him. And Sokka just needs a bit of catching up to end up on the same page.
