Summary
They say that what goes up must come down, but would Bob rather the imposing presence of a cloud or the blur of the fog? And would he prefer to be presented with a less vague and obfuscating line of questioning? Probably. Either way, he's going to have to deal with John Walker, a man he has grown to perceive in quite the different light in the wake of an odd interaction. Maybe things might start to make more sense if he chooses to address the way every nerve in his body goes into a frenzy at the sight of him. Or maybe he can keep ignoring the thunderstorm that has settled into his veins. We'll see.

Summary
There is a fortress inside of Bucky, and its guardian doesn’t want him to see what’s hidden inside. When life’s storm forces him to examine the hidden memories, Bucky discovers a past and a past self that haunts him.
This is a slow-burn journey to self-reclamation and healing against the backdrop of a struggling relationship with Steve as they both reckon with the emotional fallout of trauma and internalized violence. Therapy is no quick fix, and love is no cure—can there be hope when nothing can “solve” so much brokenness?
(Yeah. Like, yes. Not trying to be all spoiler-y, but very much yes. I would not be writing this if I wasn’t going to deliver a hopeful ending. You can call me Jimmy John’s, boys, because I fucking deliver.)

when you put your hand on your dog (the universe does not know that you are separate) by LordCapitano

Summary
The air was thick with a nauseatingly sweet scent; fresh snow, sea and blood mixing together in an awfully familiar coil of temptation, a clear bid for any worthy alpha around to claim and calm an omega worthy of the entire world. Or at least, a part of it. Although, the burning glare coming from those dull azure eyes served as an argument for otherwise.
Nothing, that was what Tartaglia was supposed to be to him. And he had been. Though there were times Capitano was allowed to witness his rowdiness first-hand. It was a disaster like everyone proclaimed, and he never intended to get more involved with him.
But the Tsaritsa didn’t care.
~
Childe is left in Capitano's care during his heat, and it becomes more than what both of them bargained for.

Summary
After the war, Harry Potter, now the Master of Death, returns to the past and becomes Hogwarts’ flying instructor, raising young Tom Riddle in a secluded Highland cottage under Headmaster Dippet’s protection.
Tasked with guiding a child destined for darkness, Harry’s own moral compass shifts as he protects Tom, while the boy’s innate cruelty sharpens into fevered devotion for the young man who raises him.
Their bond, deeper than any normal guardian-and-ward relationship, draws the wary eyes of Hogwarts, blurring the boundaries between familial, possessive, and dangerously intimate love. Desire, loyalty, and darkness intertwine, leaving both forever changed.

Summary
Cassandra’s eyes grew wide. “Inquisitor- I mean, Morgan. Are you asking me what I think you are asking?”
“I understand that rebuilding the Seekers here in the guise of the Divine’s honour guard is a rather demanding task, so if you are not…”
“Are you mad? I would be honoured to… Although, won’t Sera be expecting to be your maid of honour?”
“I can assure you, she was perfectly content at the prospect of getting to throw flower petals and possibly cakes during the celebration. I still need to let Cullen know about that, though…”
***
A few months have passed since the Inquisition was unanimously disbanded during the Exalted Council. Now it is time for everyone to move on.
After their long overdue visit to Cullen’s family, former Inquisitor Morgan Evelyn Trevelyan and her husband settle into their new home. Between mabari training lessons and wedding preparations they manage to find a new purpose – or rather, it finds them, when a desperate Ser Delrin Barris arrives at their doorstep.
