Summary
Magic connected a caster to the world. Mages who reach for connection, but try to pull that in – to refuse attachments – grew plants. Eventually, the growth would choke them. It was foolish. That didn’t stop the roots from digging deep, the green from flourishing, and the petals from choking his breath ever since the ship.
Essek’s scorpion grass bloomed in tiny, powder blue flowers, and marked him as damned.

Summary
The men knew Hogan looked after them—more than was typical of a commander and his crew. It was in the little things, the details of everyday life, yet sometimes it struck them in undeniable ways. They saw Colonel Hogan as more than a commanding officer, and knew, somehow, that he saw them differently too.
- or -
Four times Colonel Hogan took care of his men, and one time they took care of him.

Summary
A hand grasped his arm, sending a brief thrill down Merlin's nerves as he was forced around to face the person behind him. Armour gleamed in the firelight: supple chainmail glinted, and the solid iron of a pauldron curved lovingly over one broad shoulder. The length of a sword blade separated them. The point hovered, steady and sure, over Merlin's heart, braced to run him through, but he did not care about any of that. He was too busy drinking in the sight of the man before him.
He could never forget him, no matter how many centuries had passed.
'Arthur?'
When Merlin ultimately fails in his destiny, the fading remnants of magic that linger in the modern world fling him not just back in time, but sideways as well. He ends up in a Camelot where all his friends are alive, well and aware of his magic.
He ends up in a Camelot where his alternate self died almost a year ago.
Can he, Arthur and their friends still forge the golden age he was once promised, or will grief and suspicion tear them apart?

Summary
In pursuit of a sorcerer, Arthur and his knights stumbled into a cave. As the ceiling collapsed on them, Merlin had no choice except to reveal his magic or let all his friends die. That choice was not a choice at all.
As Merlin's magic began to run out and tensions with the knights run high, it seemed he might have made the wrong choice after all.

Summary
“Beauregard – you said she is outside?” Essek half-turns in the direction of the front door. “Should we invite her in?”
It feels like there is something stuck in his throat. “In a moment. She is, ah – giving us some space.”
Essek turns back to stare at him. Repeats quietly, dangerously, “Space.”
Caleb forces himself to swallow. “Yes.”
Essek’s attention is a palpable thing now, sharp like a knife’s edge against his cheek. “Explain.”
One moment makes all the difference during the battle at Blumenthal. In the aftermath, the Nein grapple with what comes next.

Summary
“People always talk about how bad the surgery is,” Ed told Hawkeye, “but you never hear people mention how much it sucks to have fifty pounds of metal hanging off your body. Bolts in your bones.”
“What’s happening?” Mustang asked sharply, turning toward them with his clouded eyes still lingering a few feet over their heads. “Hawkeye? What’s Fullmetal doing? Is there something wrong with his automail?”
Ed flicked the lighter again, waited a little more patiently this time, and inhaled. Then he gave Hawkeye a nod, giving in to the inevitable. The only reason Mustang hadn’t figured it out already was probably because Ed didn’t do a lot of... this sort of thing. The comfort thing. Mustang liked people to play into his expectations.
“Edward came out to smoke opium,” Hawkeye said at last. “He says it helps with the pain from his automail.”

Summary
During their travels in the Feywild, even Garmelie’s assistance can’t stop Vox Machina from wandering into trouble. It is, after all, what they do best. This time, however, they may have run into something more powerful than even they can face down – in the form of a Wild Hunt, eager for sport and thirsty for blood.
This does not go well for Vox Machina, generally. It goes even worse for Percy, specifically.
Alone, cut off from his party, and being hunted by creatures more dangerous even than the Chroma Conclave, it will take everything Percy has just to survive.

Summary
They lie on the edge of the roof, watching the guests arrive at the Ice Court, dignitaries, performers, the workers from the West Stave houses. In the midst of the glittering crowds one group stands out, a blot of darkness among the gaudy frocks and suits.
Inej inhales sharply. She’s looking down at the man in the centre of the group, whose reddish hair is going sparse on top. “Isn’t that–”
Beside Jesper, Wylan stills, his body a tense line.
“Van Eck,” Kaz confirms. His face turns grimmer than usual.
Wylan’s secret is revealed at the worst time, and in the worst way. Everything afterwards happens a little differently.

Summary
“I don’t remember the dreams, really,” Wylan admits. He hates that, hates the multiple ways his stupid brain lets him down. “Just… panic. Fear.” He huffs and rolls over to stare up at the rich red tapestry above his head. “It’s like… this terrible feeling that I’m trying to find someone, I’m calling for someone, but they can’t hear me, or I can’t reach them.”
Wylan Van Eck is lucky.
He has a partner he loves, and a beautiful home, and a successful business.
If he could just understand why he keeps having nightmares, his life would be completely perfect…

Summary
Every muscle in Inej’s body froze. Suddenly, the ceaseless noise of the crowd fell into silence around her. It was all she could do to keep her feet planted on the wet floorboards of the harbor. Her eyes flitted listlessly around the face of the man before her—his nose was softer, but still just as straight as the one that Inej saw every day in Ketterdam. His hair was a shade or two lighter, but it fell in the same pin-straight sheet that Inej knew. His eyes were more hooded, brighter with hope, but Inej knew damn well who else those eyes belonged to. The faintest of firepox scars traced his jawline, disappearing beneath his collar.
”Jordie,” she breathed.
——
On the Wraith, Inej comes across someone that Kaz had lost forever. And for better or for worse, she brings him back.

Summary
It began now, just as it had before, with the unmistakable tolling of the plague bell.
Kaz had suspected that something was brewing in the bowels of the city. Of course he hadn’t known what, exactly, the fuss had been about—a whisper here, a rumor there. He’d noticed it, with his eyes everywhere, but the trouble was so small that it could not even be identified. The warnings signs were barely signs at all, just a flippant remark, a shaky theory. Nothing notable enough for Kaz to spend more than a few men on discerning.
That had been his first mistake.
——
Or, after ten years, the Queen’s Lady Plague descends upon Ketterdam once more.

Summary
“Finnick.”
His name rings out again, echoing wetly off the cement walls around him, and Finnick shudders because he knows that voice.
When he cracks his eyes open, Annie Cresta is leaning over him.
Except it’s not actually Annie. Not in any way that matters at least. This version is too watery, far too washed out and faint to be his Annie. His Annie is vibrant and lovely and hopefully very very far from the Capitol right now.
Finnick thinks rather morbidly that he must have lost a lot of blood if he’s hallucinating her already.
or,
Finnick Odair doesn't die in the sewers, but he still has a very rough time getting out of them.
