    Summary

    Octavia frowns up at him. “Daddy, where's your pretty cape?”

    “It's… still in the wash. I will have to be without it today.”

    “You should let Mummy pick something else for you,” she tells him, “she got me this dress!”

    Her dad turns away then, a little tense. She tugs at the hem of his robe and he reaches out to ruffle her feathers, still not looking at her. Happily, she leans into the contact.

    “Your mother has lovely taste, you are quite right. I'm sure she is finding me something appropriate to wear now.”

     

    Or:

     

    Octavia's perspective on her parents' relationship throughout her life, culminating in the realistaion that - just maybe - she and her dad are allowed be happy too.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian gasps back into life without a single memory left. His friends, his siblings, his home — all lost to the fog in his head, nothing more than a mystery slipping through his fingers. What else was there to do but carry himself around in bits and parts, trying to become whole, a letter waiting to be written? He is – he is Mo Xuanyu, isn’t he? In this body, with these people. This family. He has to be Mo Xuanyu, he didn’t know anything else, even if the name sounded wrong. That was all he had.

    Well, that and Hanguang-jun.

    Lan Wangji, for his part, has had his taste of love and lost it. In all his grieving and searching, he didn’t expect to find another.

    -

    Wei Wuxian gets resurrected, loses his memories, and falls in love.

    “If Zaun is a bird trapped underground, what does that make Piltover? A worm desperate to fly?”

    Vander barks a laugh.

    “Yeah, maybe. If it’s so desperate, it should just let the bird eat it. A worm’s not getting off the ground on its own.”
    ---
    Vander rescues a sharp-tongued boy from a cave-in. Then he helps Silco bring the Mount Kiramman Mine to its knees.

    What is love after heartbreak and rage, after betrayal, fear and hatred? Sometimes it’s still love.

    Summary

    “I’m afraid the treatment options are—limited, Councilor,” the doctor had said. “Surgery would be somewhat unconventional, in this case. Given his condition, it may not be advisable.”

    “Why not?”

    “It would be hard on his body. There’s some risk to the fetus, as well.”

    “The…” For a moment, Jayce was sure he’d misheard. “He’s pregnant?”
