Iroh offered him a strange smile, one that bordered between his usual goofy grins and something harder; almost cruel. Something that seemed much more at home on the Dragon of the West's face than the uncle that Zuko knew. "Make him be the unreasonable one. Bend him to you instead of trying to break him." / / Prisoner of war fic.

The Planet had never understood that her mother was dead. It just didn't differentiate between lifeforms that way, and sometimes, it got frustrated with her, with her inability to stop thinking about such things. It didn't understand her tears, her need for connection to living people over those who were dead.

Her voice wasn't the loudest of those Ifalna heard, but there was something distinctive in the sobbing, something that ripped through her skin and crawled down her spine, a wash of cold that she wasn't sure she'd ever heard in the voice of the dying.

Devout had never been a word that Tseng would have applied to himself. Not before the war, not during, and certainly not after.

When it's storming at night, the bar fills to bursting. When it storms during the day, Marlene has to find Barret to hide with.

During the ship ride to Costa del Sol, Aeris notices one party member missing, and it's storming something fierce.

"I'm leaving for Midgar," Tifa breathed, and no matter that she hadn't so much as even considered this, the words felt right, felt the most right she'd had since her mother's death. "I'm joining SOLDIER, and someone has to learn the pass and escort the Shinra guys up, you know? Else the reactor will fail. You have to stay here, Cloud."

Maria Hill is not exactly what pops into anyone's head when they think of 'damsel in distress'. She has this tendency to shoot people in the foot before they even know they've angered her. Then the Hulk takes an interest in her, and while normally she knows exactly how to handle unwanted attention, the Hulk is not exactly responsive to her normal methods.

After Jeremy's journey through time, Damon is the one who must live with the consequences. When the day comes that Jeremy finally arrives back home, Damon doesn't know if he can actually cope with what's happened. Sequel to "Wings of a Butterfly."

Jackson gets his bite but there is something wrong with it, and he struggles to find his feet in a pack that he doesn't want.

After the first time they brought Jim home, Sarah had hoped it was the end of those mechanical voices and the whirring buzz of their gears and machinery at her door. She hadn't been able to quite swallow back the feeling that her hope was in vain, that this was going to become a regular thing.

Erica kept glancing at him every chance she got, eyes narrow and sharp as they lingered on him, but it wasn't the same kind of look he was used to getting from girls.

Reeve had been reasonably certain that no one was in his office. It seemed like a logical assumption to make, given that he was not there and that no one short of the President had a key. One day, he would learn to stop assuming anything when he counted the Turks among his friends.

She made him swear to keep Alistair on his feet until he could stand alone. Maker help him, Zevran will honor that final promise, even if it kills him.

She knew she had been screwed over, had made a mistake trusting SOLDIER, because she was fighting with one of the Don's hired idiots when she saw them exchanging looks, and she felt the sinking in her stomach that always happened before something bad.

Reno drags Elena out of bed just so he can watch her make coffee. Slice of life.

Reno needs, so Reeve provides, and Reno and Rude both decide they should do a little 'providing' of their own. Rude/Reeve/Reno.

Reno couldn't look away when Rude put his gloves on.

Rude is convinced to pierce Reno's ear.

Every year, Reeve tours the outer reactors. This year, Veld is unable to escort him, so the newest Turk, Tseng, gets the job. It's just his luck that the car breaks down, and perhaps the best idea was not to spend the night in Cosmo Canyon...

Reeve stopped smiling the day that Holy defeated Meteor.

Reeve contemplates his own life as he creates Cait Sith.

Reeve is stuck at the annual costume party. Luckily, there is both wine and at least one interesting person there.

Everything that could have gone wrong already had. The words bounced around Rufus's head, even as he leaned over his desk, bracing himself for the shudder that he knew he would be able to feel the moment the Sister Ray fired.

Reno was a lifestyle.

A skinny redhead in the corner wouldn't have caught Tseng's attention normally. Not beyond a simple glance and maybe the passing thought that he needed to cut his hair.

Everything went sideways after Meteorfall, Elena mused. It wasn't enough that people had dropped dead the streets, black ooze leaking from them. No. It had to be even worse. Alcohol had to become one of those things that they were forced to relearn.

Reno had been drinking since he got off of work.

Tseng's hand clenches around the bag's strap he's holding as he glances at Reno, at the way that Reno seems fragile in the hospital bed, with the way that, even sedated, he manages to sprawl over the bed, completely own it.

Quistis reflects on her life after Time Compression. Selphie offers her some encouragement.

Inception-themed AU. As a naturally talented forger, Reno is highly sought after by the Turks. But between his personality and his past, is he really capable of repeatedly infiltrating dreams without losing himself?

The day Elena was promoted to the Turks did not go the way she'd originally imagined it.

SeeDs are normally sent to do important work, but somehow, Zell ends up protecting the singer of a new band. Lucky him. Post-game.

Chisato struggles to deal with her new reality; her new life on Expel.

They all had their own lives to return to: Zell, Squall, Selphie and Quistis had killing to do; Rinoa had Timber to free. Sad fact was that Irvine was simply the specialty fighter they'd picked up and been unable to return after everything went to hell.

When Bonnie's new teleport spell backfires, Jeremy wakes on the front lines in 1863, alongside a human Damon Salvatore. Getting back to Mystic Falls is only the first hurdle he must face as he struggles not to change the past.

As Jeremy leaned back, letting him go, he caught Jeremy's hand and pulled it close, his fingers rolling the bracelet up and down over Jeremy's wrist. After just a second, Jeremy reached up and opened the bracelet, letting it slip off in Damon's hand.

Damon intrudes on one more family night, this time dressed in Jeremy's clothing, hair still wet from a shower he'd shared with a certain teen in the household.

It had been one thing to bait Anna, because even knowing what she was, she seemed sweet; innocent. Baiting Damon was an entirely different beast, one that Jeremy didn't know if he could handle playing with. Bloodplay kink fic.

Jeremy offers Damon a deal in order to get a model. The question is not whether the deal was fair, but whether or not either of them realized what they were getting into.

Damon and Jeremy share an encounter with Alaric, and Damon feels possessive after. Jeremy doesn't mind. Established Damon/Jeremy with Alaric involvement/tension.

One of Damon's hands clenched, and he wondered for a moment if this was what he had been reduced to. Seducing someone so naïve. So innocent. He licked his bottom lip, and then he lifted a hand and motioned for Jeremy to come to him.

Jeremy felt vulnerable, and all he could think of was that Damon could hurt him any moment, could squeeze a little too hard, push him a little too far, and it wouldn't even matter.

Hotch runs out for some milk, leaving Spencer alone with Jack for the first time. Slice of life ficlet.

Another spell, another crest. A bonding moment between the two Heraldic masters.

Tifa finally throws in the towel when it comes to her relationship with Cloud. On the spur of the moment, she steps into a bar for a few drinks, and ends up in the middle of something she never would have imagined herself in.

He was fourteen when he was first contracted out to the military. Punishment for once more refusing to officially enter the SeeD cadet pool. He could remember that, even if he couldn't remember the first time he picked up a gun.

Squall and Rinoa's first kiss; his impressions of her.

Dr. Leon Gehste is casting a new spell when something goes wrong; he is thrown back through time, to a country he's never seen. Stranded, he settles in for the long haul, trying to blend in. This means school, where he meets an interesting individual.
