  1. Summary

    'I stand in Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun,' she said; 'and behold! the Shadow has departed! I will be a shieldmaiden no longer, nor vie with the great Riders, nor take joy only in the songs of slaying. I will be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren.' And again she looked at Faramir. 'No longer do I desire to be a queen,' she said.

    Then Faramir laughed merrily. 'That is well,' he said; 'for I am not a king. Yet I will wed with the White Lady of Rohan, if it be her will. And if she will, then let us cross the River and in happier days let us dwell in fair Ithilien and there make a garden. All things will grow with joy there, if the White Lady comes.'

    —“The Steward and the King,” The Return of the King Book Six Chapter Five, JRR Tolkien

    Summary

    Esca always gets up really early on the farm, and this time he comes back after his morning bath to find Marcus still asleep, naked and deliciously inviting in their bed. A rather possessive Esca proceeds to wake Marcus up, and Marcus is only too happy to let him do whatever he likes to him. And to finish, there are some feels, and the reason for Esca's possessiveness is revealed.

    Set after the end of the book/film, when they're both living the dream in the Sussex hills. Would eventually fit the timeline of the much longer (and plottier) story I'm still posting on here (These Many Moons Past)

    Summary

    “Well, I’m sorry for crashing your hookup,” Joly says, and goes to stand. “Why didn’t you tell me you had someone over? I only came over because I thought you didn’t have plans.”

    “Grantaire?”

    They both freeze. Grantaire pauses with a mouthful of pastry, and Joly stops in the middle of standing from his chair. Fuck, Grantaire thinks. Fuck, shit, fuck. There is no scenario where Joly didn’t recognize Enjolras’ voice just now, and Grantaire is way too tired to think on his feet and intercept this situation before it explodes.

    Enjolras chooses that moment to walk out of the hallway and into the living room.

    Or: When Joly inadvertently figures out that Enjolras and Grantaire are together, Grantaire is forced to confront some latent insecurities and Enjolras realizes he might have an issue with communication.

    Summary

    Peace in the New Republic is not coming as easy as desired.

    The newly reformed, and quickly growing, Mandalorians and their fearsome king have announced they will not join the New Republic’s hold and it is making keeping the peace become progressively more difficult to the point political marriage may be the only way to prevent bloodshed. However, no one in the New Republic can meet the impossible standards set by the Mand’alor.

    Well, almost no one. Fortunately, Senator Organa has a very eligible Jedi-warrior brother.
