Summary
“This lesson isn’t befitting a young nobleman like yourself, Nuidis,” her tutor told him as she sat Atlanna down to teach her the ways of moving water with her mind’s eye. “You will grow up to be a soldier, and this is not suitable for men. This is but a trick.”
Moving water, moving the very thing that surrounded them and kept them safe and filled their lungs with oxygen-rich water was no mere trick. He craved it like he craved salt, like he would shrivel away without it.
(Or, Vulko's journey to wielding water is long and fraught, much like his life. Also much like his life, it is inexorably tied to Atlanna.)

Summary
He never imagined this future. He never, even when he was a kid dreaming of being king, really thought about how it would play out. He would simply be king and that was the end of the story.
Now, though, as he stares at himself in one of the polished mirrors in the underwater kingdom he now rules, he sees it for the truth. It is the beginning of the story, not the end.(Or, Arthur in 5 parts.)

Summary
She reaches out and captures his hand. “I fell in love.” And then she whispers into his ear, so quietly that even if someone had been listening they would never have heard, “Please, Vulko. Please go to them and look after them both. Give him something from me.” And she leans forward and presses her lips to his.
And Vulko, always a servant to his queen, cannot help but obey. He goes to the surface that night.
(Or, Vulko serves his queen. He carries messages between her and the surface, strives to keep her sons alive, and all through it slowly finds a home where the sea meets the land.)

Summary
Arthur is three years old and he won’t stop crying, and Tom doesn’t know what to do. He’s not sick-- he’s driven Arthur to the town doctor twice now and the woman has no idea what to do with either of them-- nor is he hungry or overtired or wanting to play with his toys. There’s something wrong, but Tom hasn’t a clue what it is, just a nagging suspicion that Atlanna would have known.
And then one morning a man appears on his dock who says, "My name is Vulko, and I am a friend of Atlanna's. She is worried for her son."
(Or, after Atlanna leaves them, Tom finds he has a surprising (if intermittent) co-parent to help raise Arthur).

Summary
Arthur isn’t really into the whole “king” thing. He saved the day, prevented global war, and got to kiss a pretty girl while underwater in magical fish armor. That’s a win, yeah? So why people keep pestering him about other crap is beyond him.
“Look, can we just like, party for a few days? Put a pin in all this King stuff? I think we deserve it, don’t you?”(Or, Arthur is King, Atlantis has batshit laws that need changing, and Orm gets a fresh look at what the surface world is like.)

Summary
This isn't the first time Poe crashes onto a strange planet with no hopes of rescue, but this time he wants it known that this is all Han Solo's fault.
At least he's not alone: BB-8's there to help. And also that confused, wary man over there, who seems to be hearing voices.Bookmarked by Orockthro

Summary
“I dated a guy who liked being dominated,” Karen says, shrugging, “so I know some stuff about it. If you two are doing things that lead to actual injuries, you’re doing it wrong.”
“. . .catch us up here, Page,” Foggy says.
“You’re. . .dating, right?” she asks, a little more hesitantly. “Trying out BDSM? I thought it was a longshot at first because I wasn’t sure if you were even together, but it was less of a longshot than anything else I could think of.”
“I just—” Matt says. Walked into a lamp, maybe. Fell down a manhole.
“Yes,” Foggy interrupts him, quickly. “You’re right. We’re doing the, uhm, BES. . .”
“BDSM,” Karen supplies, raising her eyebrows.
“Yes,” Foggy says, firmly. “That.”
