Summary
When Miss Sansa Stark scandalously and very publicly disappears with her jilted suitor, Mr Joffrey Baratheon, all of London believes them to have reconciled and eloped. If Miss Stark should return unmarried, her reputation will be ruined and no gentleman will ever wish to wed her.
Miss Brienne Tarth knows very well that Sansa wants nothing to do with Baratheon, and is certain that he has abducted her. However, if she wishes to find them, she must enlist the help of England's most eligible (and in her opinion, most useless) bachelor, Mr Jaime Lannister.
Trapped and frightened, Sansa takes comfort wherever she can. The only person to show her any kindness is the formidable Mr Clegane, who can hardly be considered a gentleman; but how can she expect him to help her when it would cost him everything he has?

Summary
(Kukalaka point-of-view.) Enjoy a teddy bear’s perspective of unfolding romance and evolving psyches.
Recently, Julian has been skipping lunches with Garak. Garak arrives at Julian’s quarters and demands to know why. Turns out, Julian is secretly trying to reconnect with his Muslim heritage for the month of Ramadan, so has been going without food or water during daylight hours, as religious tradition decrees. Well! In that case! If Garak can’t have lunch with his dear doctor, dawn and dusk meals will certainly do. And if he happens to linger afterwards... that’s probably not against the rules.

Summary
Beric and Thoros come to a mutual decision to break up, all because of a slight misunderstanding regarding a slave collar. That is no excuse for Dondarrion to inflict Ubloody2 on the entire pub, is it? With or Without You is a travesty at the best of times, but on repeat? It's enough to make Ramsay want to stab something. However, who'd think that Bono would be the catalyst for a less than beautiful and at times really quite mutually violent friendship, wherein everything is still quite lovely, just. Y'know. Whippy.
The stand alone Beric/Ramsay fic in the Mayflower/Try Hard universe that you've all been desperate to avoid because really, what insane sort of person comes up with that ship? Can be read as a stand alone piece.

Summary
Brienne is a truly excellent rugby coach. Really, she's that great. Just that King's Landing, the team who have just employed her, haven't quite got around to telling their current coach that he is sacked. When that current coach is a) drunk and b) Jaime Lannister, only the best player of his generation and Brienne's teenage pin-up, things get awkward. Not quite as awkward when she keeps being stared at by Tormund, the massively bearded red-haired fireman who happens to play for King's Landing. Especially when he makes her Feel Things. But then so does Jaime, even if he is a dickhead.
Throw in an entire rugby team of fourteen good men plus Ramsay Bolton - all with issues of their own - a sponsor with a fetish for sailors, Tyrion owning a pub and being dodgy, and the Ever Lurking Terror of Varys, and it's all a bit, as Davos always says, effing mad, really.

The One With The Fake Relationship by AsbestosMouth

Summary
When Sansa Stark, who has no interest in dating due to horrible and thankfully jailed past boyfriend, is invited to the wedding of the year, she desperately needs a plus one to accompany her. After all, Cat Stark is determined to get her set up with an eligible boy, so weddings and babies happen to the Starks rather than anyone else. The best way to stop that? Pretend that Detective Inspector Sandor Clegane, her dependable (if angry and foul-mouthed) lemon-cake providing work colleague is her boyfriend. Simple, right? Apart from the obvious; Sandor's been in love with her for a year, in like with her for longer, and knows that this might really really hurt. But, bloody hell, it's only a wedding, right?
It's all fluffy, and a bit angsty, and a lot sweary, and a whole load of gay marriage-y. And kilt-y. Of course.

Summary
They all go for coffee after the class, and Agron feels off balance the entire time, still a little self-conscious from the whole taking his clothes off to be scrutinized by strangers thing, and the way Castus sits beside Nasir and name drops Rousseau and Dubuffet with ease. They lose Agron the second they start talking about art, but he stays because Nasir talks with his hands when he’s passionate about something, and he keeps looking at Agron like if he smiles enough at Agron he’ll understand the argument Nasir is making about colour theory. (He doesn’t, but he smiles back, every time.)
The last time Agron models for the class he may or may not hit the gym the day before, and avoid carbs before heading to the art studio.
“This is a disturbing new development in your infatuation with this guy,” Duro says, when Agron declines a slice of pepperoni pizza. “I may need to meet him.”
Agron just throws a slice of cantaloupe at his brother’s face and heads to the bus stop to catch the bus to campus.
