Summary
“Find love wherever you like, but never marry for love. Your title belongs to House Atreides—use it to strike the best possible bargain.”
The best possible bargain arises in the form of Lady Rhiannon, the widowed Countess from a Minor House on a distant planet that, until very recently, had been consumed by centuries of war. The marriage alliance will gain House Atreides unlimited access to the planet’s untapped riches, but unbeknownst to Duke Leto, his new wife is far more dangerous than he ever could have anticipated.

Summary
As the door opened Tim quickly disabled another three separate electronic sensors in the doorjamb by swiping them with a device that looked a bit like a thumb drive. “Walk where I walk,” he said.
He took a big step over the doormat, eyed the floor carefully, then took a careful skipped sidestep to another mat against the right-hand wall, where he removed his shoes.
“What the hell?” whispered Jason, still standing in the open doorway.
Tim pointed up. There was a net rigged up on the ceiling. “Pressure pads under the carpet.”
“I repeat, what the hell?
After Tim completely derails Jason’s beatdown attempt by asking him for a hug, Jason’s first priority is to get this touch-starved kid more cuddles. Tim’s first priority is to avoid Dick’s traps.
Jason learns a lot about his brothers and what happened while he was away, and something about himself too.

Summary
And something exhausted and brittle in Tim just snaps. “Full disclosure: I don’t care what you think.” A thrill of fear shoots down his spine as he spits those words, but he pushes it down and steps forward, glaring. His heartbeat thunders in his ears. “Look, I’m here to make a deal and I am willing to pay. I want - ”
Between one blink and the next, a searingly hot palm presses against his chest. The demon is suddenly much, much closer. Her stare bores into him as she says, in perfect tandem to his own voice, “ - Jason Todd back from the dead."

Or, alternatively: Tim makes a deal.

Summary
Despite the fever and the barely-healed burn scar, the boy’s fast. June avoids his blade, but still he jams his limbs into her, desperate to scratch and kick and bite off her hand…
(Just like a baby shirshu, spitting poison from behind the bars of its cage. The comparison shouldn't be so endearing.)
Or: the AU where Zuko flees the palace after his Agni Kai, running right into Nyla and June.

Summary
Maybe fire ferrets aren't the most effective conversation practice partners. His suave ways with the rodents don't seem to translate to humans.
They're way cuter though.
