    Summary

    The first time Siya says it she is, in her defense, concussed.

    The young woman is pale and dark-eyed, with a sharply elegant face, soft like a falcon. She wears her black hair cut short; in the Empire—and this girl is high-blood Imperial stock or Siya will eat her shield—a distinctly masculine style. A masculine style that doesn’t mirror her delicate features, the unique femininized styling of her surcoat, the sweep of demure bangs left deliberately long as she tucks them behind one ear. 

    “You’re fine,” she determines, not unkindly. Then, by way of explanation, she hefts a devastating mamluke mace that has to have been hollowed out with cork for the tournament or it would have caved Siya’s skull in. Helmet or no. "Glad I didn’t hit you that hard.”

    Siya, like any self-respecting woman, replies: “Marry me?”

     

    (Or: Five times an upjumped mercenary proposed to the Empress' only daughter as a joke. And one time she didn't.)

    Summary

    In a galaxy far far away, the Empress rules supreme, the rebellion exists on a sliver of hope, and secrets still run rampant in the Skywalker family.
    Palpatine should not have underestimated the non force-sensitives when he made his plans. (Or that dark side of the force is not the only dark side.)

    Summary

    Lily Evans got described by many adjectives: vivacious, charming, bright, natural, talented, brave, funny, witty, kind, popular...Truly, she was an exceptional witch who for some reason left behind her a trail of deeply troubled individuals.
    Answer to the question: What would change in the story if Lily Evans had been born a sociopath is: not necessarily anything.

    Summary

    “Hey,” she said, tearing her eyes away from Annabeth to look at me for the first time. “Peter, right?”

    “Percy,” I grumbled. As if Mr D wasn’t bad enough, now I had to deal with this girl too?

    “Percy,” she repeated with a frown. “Very colonial. Didn’t know people still had names like that.”

    My hands curled up into fists. Peter was a stupid name anyway.

    Summary

    Learning German was supposed to be a simple chore by NERV, just another test to study for. But for Shinji Ikari, it becomes something else entirely.

    After a humiliating exchange with Asuka, he begins to wish that he could be braver, louder, more like her. Shinji falls into frustration, daydreaming about the things he could have said, but didn't. With Asuka out and Misato busy though, Shinji finds himself alone. After a stray impulse to clean Asuka's room, Shinji finds a pair of bright red interface clips, and a sudden, breathless urge to see himself differently.
