Summary
They watch him flounder for a few more embarrassing seconds before he finally gets it off and hops on. Max lets him ride away for a few seconds before she sighs heavily, rubbing the bridge of her nose.

or; Mike Wheeler is having some trouble juggling his responsibilities and his desire to spend time with his boyfriend. I'm sure this won't go badly at all

Summary
It was mostly busy work anyway. He would pile himself into his car with a short list of people and drive around the neighbourhood, attending to mind-numbing noise complaints and spending half an hour trying to get out of a conversation with the old man that lived on the corner of Kerley.
or; Hopper thought his day was going to be quiet, before he finds Will crumpled up in some side street. He helps him, and maybe grows a little closer with the kid.

Summary
'Will avoids Mike's wide eyes, trying to keep the blush from his cheeks. "The King would never agree." He points out.
"You underestimate my powers of persuasion." Mike says, grinning. "Just leave it to me."
"For the record, I still don't think this is a very good idea." Will mumbles.
"That's not a no."
Will glares at him. He had never been much good at saying no to Mike. "I guess not."'
Will has been training as a Cleric for as long as he can remember, and for all that time Mike has been by his side. The crown prince of the kingdom, and his closest friend. But as Mike's duties and the true meaning behind Will's powers begin to close in on them, they're forced to confront what it is they truly mean to each other, and what that means for everybody else.

Summary
"He took a deep, measured breath.
The blow never came. The bokoblin grunted in apparent surprise. Dorian peeled his eyes open to see it still standing over him, a dumb expression on its face. His eyes and the bokoblin’s trailed downwards at the same time to see the dull blade sticking out of the creature's chest, dripping blood in rivulets down its torso."
or; Dorian is travelling when he has a close encounter with some monsters. Link saves him, and Dorian learns a few things about the painfully young hero.

Summary
“I don’t think that it has to mean that you’re into guys,” Lucas says. His words are accompanied by a casual shrug, and said in the tone of someone who has clearly already given this subject some thought. Will doesn’t know what to do with that information. Jump from a building, maybe. “I mean, we’d all get flustered if Spider-Man carried us in his arms.”
Mike points to him enthusiastically. “Thank you, Lucas.”
Dustin looks between the two of them, his eyes narrowed.
“...Would we?”
“Sure,” Mike concludes. “He’s attractive. That’s not a weird thing to think.”
Will just barely resists the urge to bang his head against the table. He feels Dustin’s eyes glued to his burning face, and sinks even further down his chair.
In which Mike tells Spider-Man that he has a crush on his best friend, and Will jumps to some very wrong conclusions.

Summary
The Wheelers and the Byers have been living together for eight months. Mike and Will have been dating for two of them.

Summary
“You’re okay.”
It was a voice he’d recognise anywhere and instead of yanking away as he once might have, Sokka sat and breathed quivering breaths as Zuko ran a thumb along his neck and eased him through his breakdown.
“You should hate me,” he whispered, broken and cracking.
Zuko squeezed, “I know.”
He was gone by the time Bato found Sokka again, nothing left of their encounter besides the warmth still etched into his neck and the odd feeling settling into his gut.
OR
As victors of the Hunger Games, Sokka and Zuko navigate a complicated relationship in a world just waiting to watch them tear each other apart.

Summary
[Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.
“Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.
What the fuck?
“Sokka, I—”
Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.
“What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]
Or:
An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.
But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.
Yeah, nah.

Summary
Scar’s never known the avian to be anything but confident, calm, and calculated. But now he’s frightened, swinging a sword around haphazardly as a last-ditch attempt to stay alive, and all it will take is one wrong move or one perfect shot from a pillager, and he’ll die.
And in a way, Scar is terrified too, because he’s never been able to land a shot on the avian before, or get close enough to do any damage, but whatever got to him first did much more than just a little prick from an arrow. Pillagers are scary in their own right, but Scar has a feeling that it wasn’t just pillagers or ravagers that did this.
Something is very wrong.
or, Scar saves the city’s most dangerous criminal, makes him his roommate, falls in love with him, and then also saves the world with him. In that order, with various setbacks along the way.
