Summary
“It’s all worth it, ye know,” Biggs says as G’raha nearly jogs to keep up with the taller pair. A moment of uneasy quiet falls outside, and he listens to the echo of all three of their footsteps in the hallway.
“What is?” G’raha asks when the manor’s back door comes into view.
“Chasin’ down the book. Sendin’ ye off,” he says. “I could die happy knowing someone like her is still around. The woman from the stories. It’s all we’ve ever worked toward. And it’s worth it.”
G'raha Tia wakes to a world in ruin, and with the help of the remnants of the Garlond Ironworks, must find a way to conquer the impossible.

Summary
Thancred sometimes fancied himself a man of many secrets, if only because an air of mystery went far when it came to drawing the unguarded attention of many a fair maiden, and he thought himself equally adept when it came to insight. It took a liar to know one, after all, and he knew them well. But the Exarch's secrecy felt different somehow, and it left a bitter taste on his tongue.
alone in a new world, thancred's only guidance comes from a regrettable source: the crystal exarch

Summary
Look at him, Vegeta rages. A once proud warrior, reduced to a pathetic housecat by that woman's touch.
As if she'd heard his thoughts, Bulma turns to look up at him, smiling guilelessly in the sunshine. "Oh, it's Vegeta! Hi there!"
He levels his coldest, most fearsome glare at her, hoping to stir unpleasant memories of Namek.
To his humiliation, Bulma only laughs.
or: yet another three year time gap fic.

Summary
Jullus grits his teeth at the weighted stare, but he refuses to flinch. “That’s why we train. We’re soldiers, not civilians. We’re meant for endurance.”
“Yes, and endurance has limits.” Without looking away, Faustus slides the clipboard back into its assigned spot at the side of Jullus’ cot with a pointed clatter. “That, the Empire fully knows given the existence of my role.”
“Then won’t you agree that meeting those limits is a necessity to achieve progress.”
Unblinking, the gaze that remains on him takes him back to when the airship shuttle’s observation ports first opened. Of the light of Gyr Abania slicing into their cabin, now resting on him like a weighted blade. Like everything else about him, they simply observe – there’s no kindness nor is there cruelty. Just control and measure. A measure that meets its match when the doctor blinks and looks away.
For a victory, Jullus hates how hollow it feels.
Three years before the Final Days, before one becomes known as the Warrior of Light and the other watches their nation and ideals fall to ruins, a Decurio and a Medicus meet in Castrum Abania.

Summary
“A bet?”
“That’s right. I bet…” Caleb tucks a lock of hair behind the shell of her ear. “That I can make you come before you can get the cake into the oven.” The Colonel watches with unabashed delight as that same ear reddens deeply, rivaling the fruit on her apron.

Summary
At only 21 years old, the Warrior of Light has more experience killing things than she does with matters of the heart. When she encounters a young Garlean soldier while traveling with the Ilsabard Contingent, she expects him to be her natural enemy, just like all the others she has met before.
Why then does he insist on being so gentle with her?

Summary
The questions are normal enough. The officer's tone is perfunctory, clipped like a hedgerow, but that's not unusual among the bureaucracy. Citizens are processed first, swiftly, but then, the foreigners –
G'raha mislikes the tone. The way the woman's eye sweeps over Estelle as if she's importing pox on her furs. The way she says, "I suppose that is considered a valid calling in your native Eorzea," and means that in Sharlayan, it is certainly not.

Summary
YoRHa has decided to launch a new program: any unit can now request to be installed with artificial genitals of any sort, for recreational purposes only.
2B is not interested. Not at all.
Or: 9S gets some new mods, and 2B tries very very hard not to be horny about it. Or have an existential crisis about it. This turns out to be much more difficult than anticipated.

Summary
“Is it not past time you found someone? Strong you may be, but how much stronger might you prove with another at your side?”
She remembered Y’mhitra’s tear-stricken face. Voicing something she had never quite allowed herself to consider.
And how it felt to be held in strong, unwavering arms.
Runar sat down across from her. “You have that expression on your face,” he told her. “You are figuring out something. Care to share?”
Y’shtola blinked, and smiled. “Nothing of import,” she assured him.
And so it went.
Pre-Shadowbringers, Y'shtola/Runar slowburn.

“We stay on the move while we can move, and we rest only when we need to rest,” limns Scully in the cadences of Genesis.
Mulder bows his head in wordless agreement and hikes the nylon backpack straps over his shoulders. He hasn’t used his voice all morning, and he’s afraid to test it. He can still feel the brain matter under his fingernails.
She is the only thing left that makes sense.

As the silence begins to drag on just long enough that it seems she might not actually say whatever she’s building up to, Julia plants both hands on the edge of the countertop and stares down at Daniel, curious and not unkind. Maybe a little sad. “So. You and Dani, that’s gotten pretty… serious?”

Summary
“You’re beautiful,” he tells her, hovering over her body so he can look her in the eye. “Your soul, your heart, and your body.”
He kisses her again—on the lips, once, and then down her stomach, precisely in the place the two scars meet.
“And before the night is over,” he says, fingers dipping under the hem of her loose shorts, “I would kiss every ilm of it.”
In the wake of their victory in Ultima Thule, G'raha finds himself facing recurring fears.

Summary
Father Shane, a priest in the Church of Yoba, is struggling. Trapped by his responsibilities and disconnected from his identity, he drinks more than he should and goes through the motions of leading his parish. On top of everything, he's supposed to be raising eight-year-old Jas, a ward of the Church whose mother recently died.
Then Liza Butler, the town's new farmer, walks into his life. Liza may want nothing to do with Yoba or the Church, but she and Father Shane keep crossing paths, and the chemistry between them is undeniable. Irresistible. As they grow closer, navigating the boundaries of what they're willing to give one another, doubts surface and secrets are revealed.
Father Shane's messy, complicated life is about to get a lot messier and more complicated.

Summary
"And some hold that this was not at first falsely done, but that Sauron in truth repented." - The Silmarillion, Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age
For what force can change both men and immortal, but rather the unbroken love of another. If light is allowed to touch darkness. An AU of the Second Age
Lies. Lies. If only they were not lies to taste bitter and cold in the mouth.
And yet…
And yet…would she believe…
Galadriel’s gaze dropped to his mouth. To the seam of lips that had orated such falsehoods, such promises, such lies and truth. His hand still at her cheek pulled - ever so gently - for she could banish him if she wished. If she could remember all the sins of his making. All the shadows from which his ruin would spread. The darkness that was the making of her enemy.
And yet…
“Galadriel…”
Her name puffed over her mouth. Sauron would claim it and everything if just -
