Summary
Vlad Drăculești, Prince of Wallachia, comes home from ten years of crusading changed, walking the thin line between the world of the dead and the living. Possessed with a hunger that no food or drink can sate, he despairs at shouldering the responsibilities of ruling over his land, his people, without a companion to share the weight of the crown. The Prince is no fool, no self-respecting nobleman would willingly give the Dragon his daughter to wed. Unless one comes to him of her own free will.

Summary
Shane has never belonged to himself.
Raised by the Yakuza to kill without hesitation, he knows only loyalty, discipline, and control. When a political wedding threatens to expose the cracks in the underworld, Shane is ordered to attend not as a groom, but as a warning.
Ilya Rozanov is a rumor with teeth.
A Bratva ghost, feared even among his own, he sees Shane not as an enemy, but as something far more dangerous. Something he wants.

Summary
"You will bend for me many times, I think, before this production is over."
Shane means to say no. He means to tell Ilya Rozanov—arrogant Bolshoi principal dancer and professional pain in his ass—to fuck off and stop moving set pieces without permission. Instead, he ends up on his knees in a dressing room, which is definitely not how the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s stage manager is supposed to handle conflict resolution.
Three weeks until opening night. One impossible rivalry. And absolutely no way this ends well.
or: Ilya comes to Winnipeg for The Nutcracker. Shane tries very hard to hate him. The mind-blowing hate-sex doesn’t help.

Summary
It's really great that Roy and Trent cleaned up whatever bad blood was between them, because Ted is thrilled to have Trent around the Dogtrack. He's so happy to see how well Trent is getting along with Keeley and Rebecca. And the whole team. And even Roy. And Beard, of course. It's great. There ain't a single reason for Ted to not be over the moon about how well everyone's getting along with Trent.
Because it'd be real odd if Ted wasn't over the goddamn moon about it, right?

If season 3 went in a wonderfully Tedependent direction and ended with Henry in the uk
I adored this fic.
The slowest of slow burns but the fleshiest of fleshed out characters and their lives.

I can assure you that my transfer has nothing to do with your club's relegation, nor is there anything that Richmond has done in error. Rather, I have spoken with my editors and we’ve agreed that this is the most appropriate course of action.
I wish you all the best in the season.

Summary
Eddie survives, but his entire life is locked away in the Upside Down forever (his books, his DnD stuff, his guitar.) Everything that wasn't on Eddie when Steve carried him into the ER, gone.
So naturally Steve starts giving him things. Handing Eddie back those little outward markers of who he is.

Summary
Even though Eddie's name has been cleared legally, he's still very much on trial in the court of public opinion. Dealing drugs isn't a lucrative occupation anymore, and getting a legitimate job in a town who still considers him a killer isn't much of an option, either. Eddie is beginning to think skipping town and starting over somewhere no one knows his name is the only chance he has left. Steve has another idea.
AKA: Steve gets Eddie a job as an anonymous columnist at a local newspaper.

Summary
For a few fevered moments both she and Eli had stood at a crossroads, neither wishing to part but watching the other be torn away by circumstance anyway. Of all the terrors of the day, that final fear that he would walk away from her and that she would never know his fate … it had almost pushed her over the edge.
Cornelia and Eli don’t part at Busted Belly. Instead, they continue their journey to find home.

The fix-it of all fix-its. Never have a I read a more perfect retelling of a story to allow for a more expansive and kinder (yet no less harrowing) ending for beloved characters. These two deserve the world. I’m so glad I got to read this and enjoy them being happy.

Summary
The unexpected sound of a door opening behind him, though quiet, startles him out of it. He jumps, eyes flying open, and turns around to see who’s entered. It’s Ted. Of course it’s Ted. It’ll always be Ted, Trent thinks as they make eye contact.
Ted’s got his green backpack on, holding Keeley’s pink gift bag in one hand. The sight of him like that — packed and ready to depart — makes the hollow feeling claw at Trent’s ribcage. Sharp nails and a fearsome strength. For a moment, they simply look at one another across the press room.
“Hey, Sport,” Ted says eventually. And his tone is the softest it's been since he broke the Kansas news a week prior.
Trent grips the side of his manuscript, tight. “Hello, Ted,” he replies.

Dear Trent,
Oh, I didn’t mean to give a negative Nancy impression! Kansas is fine. Good. Henry is good. That’s what’s important. I’m coaching his football team this season! Soccer, I mean. Ain’t that a hoot?
Not that I don’t miss y’all. If things could have been different…
Well, if wishes were horses, huh?

I did not expect to find such perfection coming out of this show since Ted lasso is the kind of series that gives you its all and doesn’t leave you wanting more. But by golly, this right here is one of the best fics I’ve ever read. I adore it deeply. I immediately want to reread it.
I am so soft for these two. This was perfect

Summary
"If there's anything I can help you with, or if you'd like to order flowers for an upcoming occasion--"
"All right, honestly?" Handsomely disgruntled customer looked Silver dead in the eye and said, "I'm looking for a gift that says, 'You are making a dreadful mistake. Call me when you've figured out what a fucking hash of things you've made.'" He spoke the way some people chewed tinfoil.
Silver felt two things: lust like a plague of locusts, and the words 'uh-oh' waft through his brain.
