Summary
There is an elven man he sees around taverns sometimes. His eyes are hollow, his cheeks sunken in. He looks tired and far skinnier than any man should be. He is always flirting with someone new every time he sees him, but something in his strangely colored eyes tells him his heart isn’t in it. Wyll can’t help but wonder what his story is. If there isn’t anything he could do to help.
Or: Wyll meets Astarion even without the Nautiloid bringing them together. He doesn't realize he loves him until it's too late.

Summary
Dying isn't any easier the second time around.
It isn't any easier the third, or fourth, or any time after, either. In fact, Astarion thinks it might be getting harder.
Or: Five times Astarion is killed and one time his friends refuse to let him die.

Summary
The plan was simple: seduce one of them and secure his place in the group. Easy. And Wyll was his best option, so naturally, Astarion focused all his energy on pursuing him.
He hadn't expected Wyll to turn down his every offer of sex. Or to genuinely fall for the man, either.

Summary
All Ed wanted to do was read some goddamn alchemy books. How was he supposed to know it would've ended up like this, what kind of person Tucker was? He'd just wanted to help his brother and now he wasn't sure his brother would ever know it was him again.
(Or: Ed gets himself transmuted instead of Nina. He ends up significantly more animal than expected. Now, he needs to figure out how to tell his brother who he is, Al needs to find out where his brother disappeared to, and Mustang just wants to know why this cat hates him so much).

No one was coming for him and he could never escape on his own He'd learned that a long time ago. He knew all too well he'd never be free. He'd die in his little prison, he was sure of it. That is, until he met the little girl with white hair and red eyes who gave his life meaning again.
(Or: Shinsou had been kidnapped and tortured for years. He's not sure how to function once he gains his freedom, even with Aizawa, Yamada, and Eri by his side. But he's determined to figure it out with his family by his side, and maybe a few new friends, as well.)

Summary
“We call this ♪♫.”
“The color or the rock?” I tease, earning myself a low staccato noise not unlike what a human might sound like when faking a laugh.
And then, from one second to another, he straightens. I sense the shift in the air, and as I rise from my squat, Rocky's gaze follows me very, very slowly.
“What?” I ask.
“Say name of this again,” he says, and I tilt my head. He’s never needed me to repeat something before. His hearing is immaculate, and he’s never once forgotten something I’ve told him.
“It’s a rock.”
He doesn’t move. He stares at me with his featureless face until even that feels more unsettling than eye contact.
“Grace,” he says flatly. “You are fucking kidding me, question?”
/////
Or: Rocky learns the meaning behind the name Grace gave him.

Summary
I’m safe. I know this. As foreign as it feels to give myself credit, I know I helped save Erid, and that every sentient being on the planet knows it too.
And yet, something small and primitive in me can’t fight the brief flash of fear that zips through me when Adrian skids to a halt before me and I am forced to look up at them.
For a moment, they just stand there. I am reminded of the first time I saw Rocky, atavistic horror battling with fascination, coming together in a trembling awe. I feel no different looking at Adrian than I felt looking at Adrian, a vast expanse of green before me, knowing I am the first human to ever witness it, finding beauty in it as much as knowing it could spell my doom under the right circumstances. The light of my dome shines down on them, casting a dozen towering shadows over me.
“Hi,” I manage, forcing myself to swallow through a dry throat. If this is who Rocky chose to spend his life with, they’re cool. They have to be.
/////
Or: Rocky introduces the two people he loves most.

Summary
Human is a meaningless word in most of the galaxy.
No one has ever seen one, except the members of the Galactic Federation, and even that's a little hard to believe. Rocky didn't really believe humans existed. He had no empirical evidence.
He does now.
or, 4 times rocky learns humans aren't as scary as he was taught + the 1 time he realizes it's maybe just his one specific human

Summary
Ryland Grace, Rocky, and the child they're raising together finally make it to Erid after four long years aboard the Hail Mary.
Adjustment is hard. Erid must make room for these strange new humans, Grace and his child must integrate into a whole new planet, and those who once knew and loved Rocky must learn to know and love the changed version of him. It's a slow process, but luckily, they've got nothing but time.
For more context, please read parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series! I aim to update every Friday.
