Summary
Din stared at familiar blue eyes. Eyes he never expected to see again. Luke, the boy who used to wear ponchos and had hair that never seemed to lie straight at the back, was the same person as the Jedi in front of him who he had just witnessed taking out a dozen of dark troopers without breaking a sweat.
He felt like his whole brain short circuited and uttered the only thing that his mind managed to conjure up.
”Are you a Jedi?”

Summary
“Grogu’s father still hasn’t visited him,” Luke admits, “I don’t follow the old Jedi ways, Leia, his family is allowed to visit, and it’s obvious his father loves him, so why hasn’t he visited?”
Leia’s projection manages to perfectly portray her blank, Luke-you-are-the-biggest-moron-in-the-entire-kriffing-galaxy face, even through a spotty hologram. “Have you told him?”
“Told him what?”
Leia’s palm meets her face with an audible slap.
-
When Luke takes Grogu for training, he might have forgotten to mention a key detail to the child's unnecessarily attractive father. His solution? Travel across the galaxy to smooth over this misunderstanding, obviously.

Summary
“Xiao! It’s nice to see you.” Aether beams, and then immediately wonders if he’s being too informal. With his limited knowledge of Liyue’s customs, for all he knows, he should be curtsying immediately.
In which Aether doesn't know traditional Teyvat courtship rituals, and it turns out Xiao doesn't either.

Summary
Aether is an enigma. He is a bright traveler, powerful enough to stand a chance against Osial, significant enough that Morax allows him to treat him as an equal, even before Morax became Zhongli. The other adepti speak to him with respect, and he to them, even with his accent, and his evident struggle with their language.
One time, Xiao asks Zhongli where the Traveler is from. How he speaks in strange words and an accent completely foreign to his ears, even after two millennia of walking on Teyvat.
Zhongli merely hums, then responds with a simple, "Far, far away. Somewhere not even the gods of Celestia may have set foot in."
Xiao leaves it at that.

Summary
After a moment, Xiao speaks again. "Why did you come?"
Quick, Aether thinks, play it cool!
"I, uh, wanted to eat with - see - eat you -" He stutters.
Xiao makes a funny little noise. "You want... To eat... me?"
"No! With you, I meant with you." Aether rapidly gesticulates the opposite. "I wanted to see - eat with you. Because you're nice."
-------
Aether is trying his best to get Xiao to stop disappearing on him. Obviously, the only correct solution is to keep him occupied with plates of food.

The Faintest Whisper Still Carries (On Wind and Snow) by lonelylongan
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
11 Mar 2021
Tags
Summary
He couldn’t blink away his fading vision.
But he couldn’t die here.
He couldn’t.
A voice whispered at the edges of his mind, vision tunneling.
“If you awake to a knife at your throat, if monsters dig their claws into you, if death comes knocking at your door, call out my name. Adeptus Xiao. I will be here when you call.”
Aether’s lips moved, and one would think he was uttering a silent prayer before drawing his final breath. A weak puff of frost was the only indication of a spoken word. For a moment, nothing happened. Aether’s strength left him, and he hung limply in the monster’s iron grip. He felt himself lifted higher, and the fingers fell away. He was flying, thrown like a pebble. He closed his eyes for the executing impact, but he never met the unyielding ruin walls.

Sonic and the Cursed King by Smash_50
Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog - All Media Types, Sonic the Hedgehog (Video Games)
04 Mar 2023
Tags
Summary
Once is a coincidence, twice is a pattern... When Sonic finds himself pulled into the second storybook world, that of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, he's given a plea unlike those he's used to, one that paints him a villain instead of a hero. With a magical (and bossy) sword at his side, Sonic learns how to duel, explores a world ripe with magic, and fights knights to find out the truth.
What had pushed this land to such a state? Why was Merlina being hunted down? Why did the knights seem so distressed? And is King Arthur truly past redemption?
(A Sonic and the Black Knight rewrite with a lot more introspection, and with the addition of Galahad, Lamorak, and King Arthur as true characters.)

Summary
With the false king defeated and Merlina taken care of, Sonic is ready to go back home and sleep. But the wizard has some bad news for him. And Caliburn has potentially worse news to share.
Now, he's stuck in Camelot with no way home and the pressure of leading them all has been thrust onto his shoulders. He's to be King. And Sonic is not taking it well. But he cannot leave them; what kind of hedgehog would he be if he left the kingdom to fend for itself? Now he just had to figure out exactly what he's supposed to be doing...

Summary
Pidge is still close —closer than is entirely comfortable if he has to be honest— giving him an evaluating glance. Lance doesn’t really know where to look, other than up her nose— but that grows old pretty fast. So he looks at himself in the reflection of her glasses. And squints.
He touches his own face for the first time since waking up— and feels the roughness of his chin.
“I have stubble,” he says, and the words are as alarmed as they can be even though they still sound slightly slurred, slightly off.
Pidge blinks a couple of times at him, and finally retracts into a more comfortable distance.
“Well, yeah,” she says. “You are like, what? 22? 23 in a couple of months?”
“I’m feeling— I’m feeling a little queasy,” he says then, with bright spots of color dancing in front of his eyes as he thinks 22.
Suddenly, a bucket gets shoved against his face. He takes hold of it with clammy fingers and he leans on his side so he can... use it. Thoroughly.
“I’m having Garrison flashbacks,” he hears Pidge say.
(Or: Lance is stung by an alien bug, loses his memories temporarily and makes assumptions about his and Keith's relationship. Also, Pidge cheats at Uno.)

Would You Like Fries With That? by DeerstalkerDeathFrisbee

Summary
“Hello, welcome to Burger King, can I take your order?”
And that’s about when it all comes crashing down on him, and like a tidal wave of terrible, Lance realizes, on an emotional level, how truly awful his day was. For no good reason at all other than here’s a human voice – steeped in apathy perhaps, but not overtly antagonistic – and literally all he wants is a little human comfort… he starts sobbing in the Burger King drive-thru.Keith is a junior in high school just trying to get through working the midnight shift at Burger King when Lance staggers into his life. The course of true love is a freaking disaster.

Summary
“Lance.”
Lance’s eyebrows furrow in concern for a second before his whole face goes gentle and open.
“Hey buddy, everything okay?”
Keith nods. Then shakes his head, then opens his mouth to let out a noisy sob before he’s hugging the air out of Lance, grip vise tight.
Lance hugs him back. That’s one of the great things about him— he doesn’t— he doesn’t need explanations for things like this. He doesn’t make Keith jump through hoops, the way other people might— he’s just— he just knows what Keith needs in times like this. No façades, no posturing.
(Or: the one where Keith is trapped in a time loop. A time loop from hell.)

A Kiss is a Kiss (But it's never like this) by GibbousLunation
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
06 Jan 2017
Tags
Summary
“How does this keep happening to us, every time.” Lance grumbled.
“You’d think they’d stop sending us on away missions,” he agreed. Honestly, between the poisonous plants of their last planet, and Lance’s tendency to always end up on the business end of every blaster or pointy ended stick, Allura was just being inefficient at this point.
Or, five times Keith kissed Lance but the situation was less than ideal, and one time Lance finally kissed him back.

Summary
The next few days were filled with Lance informing everyone, multiple times, of their “new” friendship. “We’re friends now, did you hear? Keith and I are friends.” Over and over, big smile, loud voice. Looking between Keith and whoever he was telling like he expected a round of applause. Or confetti. Or a parade. What he usually got was somebody making a crack about bonding moments, which prompted a tight, put-upon sigh on Keith’s end. And Lance would look at him fondly, and Keith would have to bite his cheek to distract himself from how much he wanted Lance to lean over and kiss him.
--
Keith realizes he may, potentially, possibly have some feelings for a certain blue paladin and he is Not Thrilled about it.- Language:

“I didn’t know Lance was...”
“Bi?” Hunk supplied.
“Ready to jump anyone sentient and willing?” Pidge offered.
“Yeah, let’s go with bi,” Hunk says.

Summary
“Sorry, babe,” Keith says. He even smiles, no doubt proud of himself.
And Lance knows it’s his fault. He started it, after all, but at least the biting term of endearment made sense when he was the one doing it. Keith had been talking to him like they were some old married couple. The kind who’ve been married too long and don’t love each other anymore and gripe over meaningless shit, only managing to piss each other off even further.
That’s why Lance called him dear. Because it made sense in the situation. It was a calculated insult. A strategic jab.
Keith, on the other hand, is weaponizing the term of endearment without any rhyme or reason, simply to get back at Lance.
Or: Keith and Lance have gotten into the habit of using pet names as condescending insults. They're not really terms of endearment.

Summary
College campuses are a cesspool of awkward encounters. Some more unnerving than others, as Lance comes to find. He thinks it's important to note that in all those instances, Keith is there to witness them. Actually, that's unfair. Admittedly Keith happens be useful in getting him out of those situations. Affection, as it goes, grows stronger when you're constantly being "saved" by a protective rival – but mostly friend at this point.
Or 5 times Keith helped Lance out of a situation and the 1 time Lance tried to pay back the saves.
