    Summary

    [The word trope is often used for describing commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motives of clichés in creative works. This is the 'marriage of convenience' trope.]
    Olivia Caliban is determined to adopt the Baudelaire siblings. But in order to do so, she must be married. Jacques offers, even though he has been acting standoffish towards her ever since their reunion at the carnival.

    Summary

    Wil noh Daiomoru of Queenscove was nine when he realized that no one knew who he was.

    (“Wil doesn’t know who she is.” Da’s voice was rising in pitch. “She’s nine."

    “Wil is a very mature and self-aware nine-year-old,” said Aunt Kel. There was a hard edge to her voice that Wil didn’t hear very often. “And if you’re going to be hysterical about this, we’ll talk about it in the morning.”

    “I think,” said Mama, “that we thought we had two daughters, but we actually have a daughter and a son.”)

    Summary

    Caroline turned away again, her jaw tightening almost imperceptibly.

    This was absurd.

    She had been placed — maneuvered — into this situation. Separated from Lady Catherine, from the sphere in which her attentions might be properly directed and, more importantly, properly observed. Installed instead in a light, exposed carriage with a younger son whose fortune was uncertain and whose prospects, while respectable, were by no means assured.

    It was, she thought, a test.

    Or a trap.

    All orchestrated by Eliza Bennet Mrs. Darcy.

    Very well.

    If she could not avoid it, she would endure it — and on her own terms. She suddenly felt very cross, and became determined to make Colonel Fitzwilliam feel very cross as well.

    Summary

    "You go into these rooms," his cousin had written in his loose hand, "and stand at the edge of it and speak to none and dance with none and by morning you will have made a dozen enemies who will remember you for years and you will not even know their names. One dance, Darcy. It costs you nothing and it costs the woman you ask a lot more if you don't."

    Or, Colonel Fitzwilliam writes a letter to Mr Darcy before the first Meryton assembly, which changes things.

    Summary

    Hawkins Indiana, January 1985

    The moment the basketball players walked into the gym, all hell broke loose. 

    Curses were spat. Teenagers whispered in scandalized tones as their nikes squeaked over the polished wood floor. Prayers were chanted. Somewhere across town, a baby probably cried.

    Eddie Munson grinned. 

    or

    Eddie borrows Chrissy Cunningham’s spare cheerleading uniform as a prank. The ensuing chaos tips his entire world on its head, for the better.

    Summary

    “Uh, you okay?”

    Chrissy jerks under the sink, head banging against the porcelain hard enough to rattle her skull.

    Eddie Munson stands in the doorway, hands tucked in his armpits like he isn’t sure what to do with them. He stares at her for maybe half a second before his gaze darts to the graffitied wall.

    Chrissy gapes up at him, his frame mostly a blur of shaggy hair and denim, before reality hits her and she scrambles out from under the sink, knees shaky and locked up from being tucked under for so long. “What are you doing in the girl’s bathroom?” She demands, swiping at her face like he hasn’t already seen her in what is quite possibly the lowest moment of her life.

    Hey, at least it wasn’t with her fingers down her throat.

    Eddie rocks on his feet, still avoiding her gaze, “I don’t have a good answer for that seeing as how this is the men’s bathroom.”

    Chrissy feels the urge to gag again.

    Something in the corner catches her eye.

    A fucking urinal.

    Summary

    “Still not graduated, Harrington?”
     
    It’s something Eddie would have said teasingly when they were teens. Steve would have smacked him on the shoulder, affectionately calling him an asshole before being pulled into an apologetic kiss. But they are not teenagers anymore and Eddie’s voice lacks any of the warmth that used to be reserved for Steve. Now, it’s just loaded with resentment, which, yeah, is a fair reaction.
     
    “I…eh…work here now,” Steve says lamely and points at his office door. “Guidance counselor.”
     
    or: 14 years after his first big heartbreak, Steve's life is relatively stable. It's been two years since the tragic incident that led to him becoming Dustin's guardian, both of them slowly healing. He is doing amazing at his job and his social life is great. Of course, that's when a person from Steve's past has to come and shake everything up.

    Summary

    “Hey, shitheads!” Steve “the hair” Harrington barks, looming in the doorway like a monster from the Abyss. “What the fuck are you doing in here? Get your asses down to the gym right fucking now.”

    Eddie gapes. First of all, the audacity— Second, he’s never been much for physical fights, but if this douchebag thinks he can bully any of Eddie’s kids, he’ll have to go through Eddie first.

    “Let’s go! Move it!” Harrington snaps, making an impatient gesture down the hall.

    Summary

    Watching Steve sit alone that first day- even with his ex and her new squeeze crowding his table- former King of Hawkins High with his bruised up face and puppy dog eyes, and apparently, knight in shining armor tendencies, Eddie never stood a chance.

    It's Jeff, in the end, that finally badgers Eddie enough to let Steve be dragged over to their table- into Hellfire, and Dungeons & Dragons, and hopefully right into Eddie's arms- after Steve intervenes to stop Jeff being harrassed in the halls.

    Now Eddie just needs to figure out what he's going to do with all of it.

    Aka a hellfire adopts Steve fic, because give the boy some friends (and a boyfriend).

    Summary

    “Hey,” he responds quietly. His eyes drift upwards but never quite reaching her face. “I… Dustin said I should talk to you.”

    Robin takes a deep breath. It’s okay, she can do this. “Yeah. I thought maybe you needed to talk to someone who understands what it’s like to be different.”

    Will’s eyes finally meet hers. They’re so big and sad, and Robin, who has never once felt a twinge of maternal instinct, wants to take this kid and wrap him up in a blanket.

    Summary

    For a second, Katara is helpless. No bending, no running, not when she’s trying to pull air into her lungs, feeling the world spin nauseatingly around her.

    That’s all Zuko needs.

    He pins her with a truly insulting ease, grabbing her wrists to hold both down, and she is well and truly caught. She glares up at him – he is soaked from the water she has been throwing at him, but his golden eyes are glaring right back at her, and there’s that sneering curl to his lip that makes her want to dump half the ocean on his head.

    He leans down and she can feel the heat of his breath in her ear.

    “Leaving so soon?” he hisses.

    ***

    OR: Zuko captures Katara, and imprisons her on his ship to use as bait to try to capture Aang.

    No plan truly survives contact with the enemy. And this plan… goes absolutely sideways.

    Summary

    Bilbo is left to tend Thorin as he hovers on the brink of death after the Battle of the Five Armies. Is love enough to save Erebor's king, or is this the last farewell?

    "It reminded him of plucking daisy petals to the litany of loves-me, loves-me-not. Yet nothing so simple as love lay on his mind. He barely dared to think it, but his question was not a matter of the heart. It was more basic, more instinctive, and he couldn’t help but feel that with each strand of hair he tended he was divining Thorin’s destiny."
