Summary
Jesper has been changed.
On every level, since he first came home to Novyi Zem, everything about Jesper Llewelyn Fahey is fundamentally different. He is navigating his relationships, his shifting power as a zowa, and the world of politics. Novyi Zem is on the brink of war with Ravka, Fjerda, and Kerch, and he is involved in the heart of the conflict. Everything in his life has been leading to this moment, since even before his parents met.
Leoni has left Ravka - her home of several years. But Adrik followed her across the True Sea, and now they are becoming major players as the Council of Elders make their moves. Leoni and Jesper are on a collision course that will upset international politics between nations and their lives are intertwined in ways they don't yet know.
Follows the works Not Everyone Can Aim, and the Girl of Many Names.

Summary
Busan men may be hard but Jimin likes his men hard. Jimin knows that he’s sexy and the nostalgia from being in the hometown that he barely remembers makes him want a taste of the real thing—the Busan that his parents always protected him from.
—
Alternate history!au. In a world where the Korean war never happened, Busan is the trashcan of the world, run by three clans (the Min, the Gwan, and the Bang) and able to feed itself only through the toxic waste processing industries and the polluting mining industries. Park Jimin is a Korean American who comes to Busan on business.
This fic is about environmental imperialism and the struggles of decolonization.

Summary
Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”
“Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."
In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order. [PODFIC AVAILABLE]

Summary
When Hermione sets up a diplomatic mission to begin repairing the damage British colonisation did to Indian magical communities Harry isn’t going to pass on the opportunity to visit and help his family’s home country.

Or
Harry goes back to India to rediscover some of his lost roots. He meets Malfoy there. Hijinks ensue!

Summary
"There is one final thing." Adora trails off, unsure how to word the request—she’s never asked for something so selfish. She feels her allies stiffen at her back.
"What more could you Eternians possibly want?" Queen C'yra's voice is rude, vitriol oozing into every syllable. Her chest heaves as she tries to collect herself.
Adora points directly at the fiercest warrior the Magicats have, all fire and brimstone on the battlefield. She can't imagine leaving her behind, locked away in this tiny fiefdom.
"I want her," Adora states simply. There are murmurs of outrage throughout the room.
"My daughter? As your slave?" The Queen hisses from her belly a deep sound that would have intimidated most. Adora rolls her eyes at the mischaracterization. She looks at who she now knows is the Princess, she would clearly never be a slave to any mortal.
"No obviously not. I would not insult you that way, your majesty. I meant as my mate. You do have mates here in Halfmoon?"
OR
Princess Adora the General of the Eternian Empire wishes to claim Princess Catra as her mate. Will they be able to overcome their poltical differences to find love? Decolonization AU.

Summary
Nearing the end of Law School, Enjolras is bent on confronting the French colonialism from which his family profited. Caught between his own identity as an immigrant and yet and inheritor of the French colonial germ, he rallies his closest friends to start a francophone social justice group to begin confronting this legacy.
Across the city, Grantaire runs in very different circles, making it from pay-check to pay-check and struggling with the fallout of addiction in his own life and amongst those he loves most.
When chance brings these two worlds crashing together, it is doomed to end in blood, but perhaps not before meaning can be found in the messy tangle of it all.
-
Slice of life, dealing with themes of decolonialism, addiction, mental health, class structures, and other heavy themes.

« There were corpses here and there and pools of blood. I remember seeing a butterfly flutter up and down that street. Summer does not abdicate. »
