Summary
Set pre-game, spoilers for 5.0 MSQ. Lyna and the Crystal Exarch. The world may be in ruins, but that's all the more reason to care.
"How much of a sinner are you?" she asks anyway, on principle.
His smile -- the only thing she can see of his face -- is gentle. "I try."

Summary
Beacon was supposed to be something new. Something wonderful and curious, a place she could learn to be her own person—no longer under the thumb of her father and away from the untold amount of Atlesian political consequences. She didn’t have to fear for her siblings at Beacon, didn’t have to fear for those whose strings sought her out in a frenzy—didn’t have to fear for potential bonded entwining their souls with hers.
Or; Weiss knew she wasn't good at things like this.

Summary
Raiden Ei unfurls one of her legs from beneath her. The second comes a few moments later; with a whisking of sakura petals chasing an unknown wind, her feet make contact with the spiralling sands. ‘There is something I wish to know, Shogun.’
‘Speak it, and the knowledge is yours.’
‘... As my kagemusha, how do you feel?’

Summary
Yang dies. She wakes up. She fights. She dies. The world stays the same, the situations barely change. Yang wakes up, she fights, she dies. She also falls in love — one repeated day at a time — with the one woman on Remnant who could possibly understand, even if her memories of Yang are erased with each reset. (Yang gets used to the dying, not so much the look in Blake’s eyes that marks her as a stranger.)

Summary
Work as a prosecutor isn't well-paying or glamorous, but Ruby Rose is determined to fight against the horrific crimewave infecting the city of Vale with all of her intelligence and energy. Yet as she throws away small fish after small fish, the biggest target in her sights, Weiss Schnee, head of the Vale branch of the Schnee Crime Family, dances around her and eludes her grasp.
But she's gotten close a few too many times for Weiss to be comfortable with, as the Ice Queen of Vale finds herself more and more enamoured with the thrill of being chased by the one person in the city she's willing to consider might be her equal.- Language:

Summary
It starts with Ruby, who buys Weiss a sword, and goes from there - to a shrine on the wall, to gouges in the floorboards of a shared apartment, and confused feelings in the name of Athena.
Or, you can buy a girl a sword, but you can't make the fools she's in love with realize they're in love right back.

Summary
It’s an impossible balance, a Bermuda Triangle of human nature, and it has to stay that way, a triangle, three dots separated by an unbreakable distance. Blake can look from afar, hold her breath when she catches white or blonde hair dancing on the beach or in the hotel, dream about icy eyes burning her skin with a stare too intense, about lilac eyes soothing her aches by stripping her bare. But she can’t get closer. She can’t give in to Yang’s flirtatious smile, or to her wild desire to pin Weiss against a wall and ask her why, why do you hate me, what did I ever do to you, why can’t you just shut up and kiss me, bite me, scratch me, mark me.

Summary
“You can send me back,” Weiss says after a moment. “I’ll just leave again. I’d rather be here than anywhere else in Atlas, but I’ll still run away.”
“Weiss.” Winter softens immeasurably, shoulders tilting towards her. There’s a familiar downturn to her lips, the same sad one that she’d had when she disinfected the gash over Weiss’s eye, took her to a doctor and held her hand while she was stitched up, and Weiss knows that she’s won.
“Perhaps we can come to an arrangement,” General Ironwood says.
or: Winter leaves, and Weiss follows.

Summary
Yang couldn’t remember the attack, not really. Just flashes of red; a cruel smirk, bloodied fangs, a woman screaming... she was pretty sure it had been Blake.
The nice doctors gave her a pamphlet about vampirism, showed her how to drink from a blood bag, gave her a nice little wrist monitor to measure when her blood levels were getting low, and warned her to stay out of direct sunlight.
Then they gave Dad a stake.

Summary
When you're supposed to be a weapon, how do you find peace?
In Atlas, a lost silver-eyed girl is found hidden away like a buried treasure, her origins a mystery. She grows up in secrecy, training to be the perfect warrior and believing her destiny is to save the world.
(The second child of the Rose-Xiao Long family was killed in a tragic Grimm attack, and there was nothing left of the infant to bury.)
In Vale, a girl made of metal, circuits, and a soul that burns bright wakes up with no memory. As she learns to protect herself and so many others, she watches the stars and wonders what she was built for.
(Dr. Polendina's lifelong project was destroyed in an unfortunate incident, reduced to a few unidentifiable scraps.)
Neither Ruby nor Penny know what secrets they hold. But when their lives collide, together they will discover a future of unlimited possibility and love. The world will never be the same.
A Nuts & Dolts role reversal/switched at birth AU.

Summary
I was twenty-seven when my mother died, and twenty-nine when I held the funeral, because I was too stubborn to do it until I knew I wouldn't be the only one there. She had pretended to love hundreds of people. I was determined that at least two of us would pretend to love her back.

Summary
When she was drafted into Overwatch, Hana had expected bloodshed. She was used to it. She'd witnessed the destruction of the Korean Omnic crisis first-hand. Compared to that, this was nothing.
She hadn't expected joining Overwatch to dredge up old memories. Soon enough, it became a daily battle not to fall apart in front of the others. She had an image to keep up, after all.
But when an incident in Iceland causes her true colors to shine through her D.Va persona, bygone demons begin to resurface around every corner, and it's up to Hana to settle things before the shadows of her past tear Overwatch apart for good.
