Summary
To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.
He comes close, though.
By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.
What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.
“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”
Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

Summary
They say this shit to each other at the end of the trip because it’s the end of the trip. They won’t see each other until the next transatlantic flight, until the new year. It doesn’t count and it’s not real. They say it, they do it, maybe Miles will take Phoenix’s hand from Phoenix’s lap and hold it at all the red lights between here and the airport—they can allow themselves these things, when everything’s made up and the points don’t matter.
They’ve had the sex, Phoenix has taken his shower, maybe Miles will get soppy and do the thing with the hand in the car but—now they’re done. Until next time.
——
Phoenix spends some time in Berlin.

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

Summary
You are destruction, Jaskier’s mentor tells him. Death and destruction thrum in Jaskier’s core of chaos, his magic bringing nothing but annihilation, and Jaskier hates it.
But music is not destruction. Music is creation, and it sings in Jaskier’s veins. There is nothing quite like the rush of joy and energy whenever music flows through him, and he forgets about the destruction that his chaos is capable of as music fills his soul.
After decades of being a sorcerer, Jaskier finds himself in music, and for the first time, his magic brings life.

Summary
Jefferson Davis can’t lie to himself, as much as he tries. He and Miles have always butted heads-- his son just has this carefree, unfettered approach to life that Davis' strict, no-nonsense methods seemingly have no place in. A large part of him loves Miles for that, truly, even though sometimes Jefferson feels as if he's just slowing him down.
But now, with Miles away at school on weeknights-- seemingly always busy with something or another-- Jefferson has never felt that gaping space between himself and his son yawn wider.Enter the new Spider-Man. A free-spirited kid, five foot nothing and standing between the whole city and danger as if it’s his job, breaking a long series of minor laws with careless ease, and giving a certain cop heart palpitations on a regular basis.
Jefferson Davis can’t lie to himself anymore. No matter how much he hates vigilantes-- especially of the masked variety-- a child is a child. And a dad is a dad.

Meet Me in the Woods by EyesUpMarksman
Fandoms: The Witcher (TV), Wiedźmin | The Witcher Series - Andrzej Sapkowski

Tags
Summary
The voice that slips out from between the thing’s lips is disturbingly human; as if Geralt were speaking to one of the villagers. “What are you doing in my forest?” it asks, lifting its chin and regarding Geralt with a cool gaze. One of the creature’s hands rests on the withering trunk of a tree. Geralt doesn’t miss at how the thing’s thumb smoothes against the bark. “Have you come to harm it?”
That...hmm.
He’s bargained with creatures in the past. Not all of them are as mindless and cruel as humans seem to think. Most can be lured to do something else, rather than meet the end of Geralt’s sword. Geralt’s jaw clenches. “No,” he replies.
--
A different first meeting where Geralt wanders into a nearby forest to investigate strange voices heard by the locals.

Summary
“Everyone’s from somewhere,” Ciri says. “I’m from Cintra, even though no one can know it, and Geralt’s from Rivia, and Yennefer’s from Vengerberg. So where are you from?”
“Nowhere,” Jaskier says, and his tone has just enough of a snap to it, an edge she’s not heard before, that she decides to leave it be.
It turns out that where Jaskier’s from, they’re not that happy to see him. Until they realise he could be worth something...
