Summary
The long, ugly war comes to an end with an uneasy peace that is to be sealed with a royal wedding between Ardyn and Noctis.
Naturally he's less than happy about this. It means leaving his home and his life to marry someone far from his own age, and going to live forever in a hostile kingdom where he's sure to be humiliated and abused. But for the good of his country, he is willing to make the sacrifice and endure whatever might happen to him.
Him being Ardyn, naturally.

Summary
“Look at us,” he says, pulling himself up to sit on the desk. “I’m not even thirty yet. It’s a good thing I’m not supposed to be King long, I wouldn’t even last.”
“Noct,” Ignis says, reproachful.
“What? C’mon, Specs. Denying it isn’t going to make it easier.” He leans forward, and reaches out to touch Ignis’s face.
Ignis holds Noctis’s hand in place. “Are you not angry?”
Noctis could be. There’s a lot of reasons to rage at the gods. But when he reaches for it, the injustice, the unfairness, there’s nothing there. “Not anymore.”

Summary
"He should’ve stayed in the Crystal. If it was going to be like this. We should’ve stayed in the dark.”
“You can’t mean that,” Iris protests, but he thinks it’s just for something to say. She wraps her fingers around his and squeezes.
“It’s not just about the world. It’s him. He’s against everything he used to stand for. I promised him we’d knock down the borders. He didn’t want anybody to fight because of where they were born. And now he’s like this. I’d do better getting what he wanted than he is…”
Prompto stops, because that is treason. He’s never worried about that before but he grew up in a monarchy and he knows the rules. Even under Regis you could get in trouble for saying stuff like that and meaning it.
Under Noct, you can end up dead for it.
Iris is looking at him very thoughtfully. “Would you?” she asks. “I don’t want to move against the King if I can help it, Prompto. But…. Would you?”

Summary
Ravus hears whispers as he shucks his field jacket. He tries not to pay them any mind but he suspects that he’s intended to overhear at least some of the remarks. Soft, and how’s he supposed to be in charge, and oughta be whipped - only that last really throws him. The rest he’s had said to his face before, but that’s new. He’s heard tell that the Army uses corporal punishment on its lower ranks, sometimes, but no one has ever dared to try it with him.

Summary
Noct bites into the plastic between his teeth until his jaw aches but his body still betrays him, getting hard under Ardyn’s hand.
He can’t see and he can’t move, but Ardyn can still touch him, still… violate him like this. The stasis around him doesn’t feel like magic. Something physical… Noct imagines himself encased in metal, like that guy in that old scifi movie Prompto likes. But Ardyn can see him. Can still touch him. Something like glass, with holes in it so Ardyn can get his hands on him.
The idea of what he must look like makes him want to throw up.

Summary
“My true love will have hair the color of yellow apples,” and Jack Zimmermann will take a bite from the forbidden fruit, juice running down his chin. “My true love will be exactly five feet and six-and-a-half inches tall,” and he will chew a leaf from a tree of that same height. “My true love will be as sweet as sugar and sharp as lemon,” and he will drink half a glass of Great-Aunt Cathy’s lemonade, waiting until the last dregs of sugar hit his tongue. “And if a single one of these things is not to be, then let it be known—my true love shall not be he.”
(He knows in his bones that this spell won’t ever come true. After all, his true love isn't real, and if he’s not real, then the curse can’t take him. That’s the whole point.)
--
Or, a Practical Magic AU. Wherein Jack Zimmermann must deal with family curses, hockey legacies, accidental manslaughter, Kent Parson’s obstinate death wish, and a snarky Southern kitchen warlock who won’t mind his own damn business.

Summary
“You’ve got a dinner invitation,” said Felix, two days later, like someone had mailed me a poisonous snake.
The Duke of Murtagh had left our place in a hurry this morning. I wondered if this foul attitude was the result or the cause.
“We do,” I said, cautious, ‘cause it had both our names on the top.
“No, it’s meant for you,” said Felix, “Quite clearly.”
Kay/Mildmay, Felix/Murtagh. Mildmay and Felix solve another ghost problem. Kay learns how to communicate within his marriage. The Duke of Murtagh visits, and Vanessa Brightmore (née Pallister) negotiates her marriage. And Mildmay finds something for himself.
