Summary
Born into privilege, she grew to see the world torn to shreds by war. Born into nobility, she was expected to marry whomever her parents deemed worthy. But she was different. She wanted the choice to be hers, to have her fate within her own hands. Reluctantly, her parents agree and give her a year and a day to make her choice. But of course, he must be of noble stock in order to meet their approval fully.
Her willingness to follow the rules gets thrown to the wind the moment she sees him. A dashing cavalry officer. A Captain no less. Her neat, structured world is shattered. Her heart and mind no longer agree and afford her no peace.
Usually so perceptive of those around her, she fails to notice how, she too, has caught his eye. Captain James Nicholls. In a small town square, he first sees her and is stricken to the core.
Will they find it within themselves to speak what their hearts demand of them? And if so, will their love stand the tests of family expectations and a world at war?

Summary
With piling pressure and a gray future weighing Bakugou down, he decides he doesn't want to be a hero anymore. Now without any direction in his life, he searches for a way out of the corner he's in.
Figure skating. A hobby he had grown with, something he kept hidden from the world around him, something to let out what was inside.
This wouldn't be an easy road. He may have all the groundwork needed to be an excellent skater, but... there was the problem of his fear of the audience.

“How do you know it was a one night stand?” Kylo argued, “Also bold of you to judge me when you took a stranger into your car because he offered you five hundred dollars.”

Summary
What if 6000 years of mutual pining isn't enough and we get to have more? Supernatural entities can be as oblivious as the rest of us. Sometimes, even more so.
Or, more plainly put:
This is going to be the slowest of slowburns.
Anathema, Adam and Warlock want those two walking disasters getting together.
Unfortunately, our main protagonists are being rather dense.
Also unfortunately both Heaven and Hell want to see them punished for what they did.
Actually, Heaven a lot more then Hell, seeing as angels are being a bunch of holier-than-thou knobs.
Later edit: Since we're soon reaching the end I will update whatever happens in the last chapter posted, so here goes: love confessions in the latest one. -

She didn't expect the second passenger to be none other than Vishkar's most wanted troublemaker and her own hated enemy.

Summary
"You shouldn't have come here. A war camp is no place for you."
"I'm not the only woman here."
"Aye…there are warriors, and then there are ill-advised fools--selling themselves for coin that doesn't exist. Which are you?" He takes her wrist, turning it up to trace her smooth palm with his calloused thumb, a look of weariness stealing across his face. "As I thought." He lets her go and takes a step back, addressing his men. "We're not here to train green boys, nor wait on a lady's courtesies. We've no resources or time for that." He speaks as if she's a lesson and his men the students. Her mouth tastes like chalk as she watches them stalk away, her words dead in her throat.
Stupid girl. It had taken only a few days for her to forget how to feel this small.

Ned neither denied nor confirmed that Jon was his bastard. Story takes off after Jon's resurrection. Ramsey holds Winterfell. Sansa has been in the Vale. -

Summary
Michaela King is new to the superhero gig - as in, super new. (Ha) But that doesn't mean she plans to shy away from her newfound responsibilities, especially when she's living in Hell's Kitchen and the Avengers can't be called upon to settle every petty squabble that breaks out in her neighborhood. She's not the only small-time hero who thinks big picture, either, and well - who doesn't love a good old-fashioned team-up?
