Summary
Hae Soo wants to get a job. But she's also incapable of even buying a bag of rice by herself at the market. And somehow Wang So gets himself involved.
AKA the slow-burn oneshot where I wanted to write about Hae Soo getting a job, but my own lack of knowledge about ancient Goryeo economy led me to instead create accidental dates at the marketplace.

Words for Family by Spreta_Invidia
“Your eyes could be the purple of amethysts and your hair the color of beaten silver, and they would still try to block your mother’s rise. If Aegon were her only son, they would say they could not allow a child of my blood to take the throne after her. Were she childless, they would claim fear at the succession beyond her. Were Laenor your father by blood as well as name, they would claim you shared his… appetites and were unfit for the throne. It is but an excuse for Otto Hightower to grasp the thing he wants.” -

Summary
“Do you remember that story,” Rhaenyra interjects, “about Aegon and Visenya?” When Daemon stills and says nothing, she continues, her gaze drifting to Dark Sister, “They say Visenya once cut Aegon’s cheek with your very blade to prove a point: that Aegon’s guards were insufficient to protect him. She could have killed him as easily as she cut him. I find I must thank you, my love, for the education of your own… example.”

'As you wish, child,' the old woman says.
or: rhaenyra wants to be treated like a male heir. her wish is granted.

Summary
The Doctor popped in frequently in the Ponds’ life before the tragic events in Manhattan, but where was River through it all? And how will she react to her brother Anthony in the future? It all comes down to Jack and Martha arriving on Father’s Day during Power of Three. Covering all episodes as well as prequels, the last 2 Christmas Specials, and PS.
The Doctor looked up quickly. “Martha and Jack?”
“Yeah. They said they were with UNIT. He had a vortex manipulator.”
The Time Lord whipped out his sonic screwdriver and scanned the air, flipping it with long experience to get the readout. “Yes. Of course. Not his,” he mumbled. “She must have lent him hers.”

My prompt!! absolutely hilarious take on Hermione hoodwinking the entire wizarding world (+ 1 Dark Lord) into believing she is a Gaunt. Except maybe she's really only fooling that Dark Lord.

Summary
Although she had taken a moment in his bathroom to rinse between her legs, she wouldn’t feel truly fresh until she had time for a proper bath. She could still feel it with every hurried step, every brush of her thighs. Their brisk pace wasn’t doing anything to help the wobble in her legs, either.
Aleksander stopped abruptly by a door and took her hands, rubbing his thumbs across her knuckles. Her heart swooped at the motion. “I will not leave you,” he said. It took Alina’s mind a moment to catch up, to realize he meant in the room. “If there is any threat, if I think for one second that this person means to harm you—”
She nodded, resolute. “It’ll be fine.”
He pushed open the door without dropping her hands.
—
Or, A man of his word, he follows through on his promise to bring Alina to Mal in the morning.

absolutely obsessed with this series. characterization is spot on between the two Aleksanders and Alinas. I wish there were a dozen more in this series because I just want endless days of them learning from their counterpart's mistakes and successes.

Convinced that anti-muggle sentiment will interfere with her education at Hogwarts, an eleven-year-old Hermione makes the spontaneous decision to lie about her parentage. A wizarding genealogy book provides her with a handy list of pureblood names to choose from, and everything falls more or less into place. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Yuuri wakes up in Victor’s room the night after the Sochi Grand Prix Final banquet. Did they sleep together? No. Instead, last night, Drunk Yuuri taunted Victor that he hadn’t earned the right to get in his pants…and spelled out exactly what Victor would have to do to get there.
Now, Victor intends to do everything on that list…
~
“The conversation,” Victor says, “went something like this. You said I wasn’t getting in your pants that easily.”
Victor says this in a normal tone of voice. Anyone could hear him. Yuuri looks around, but if anyone is paying attention, they’re pretending not to.
“Naturally, I asked what I would have to do to get in your pants.”
“Ah.” Yuuri blushes. “How embarrassing. What do you mean, naturally? Why would you ask that?”
Victor tilts his head. “Because I want to get in your pants. I thought that much was obvious by now.”
~
Note: Yuuri is not in a great headspace post Sochi Grand Final, and this fic necesssarily touches on mental health issues so please check the tags.

Summary
I was gutted by season 8 of Game of Thrones. I decided to write a fanfic about it, imagining if Daenerys had a vision about all that was to come. I chose her because I feel like, as badly wrecked as other characters were in S8, she really got it the worst and had the most losses. And she had such a dream before and Daenys Targaryen dreamed of the Doom of Valyria. This is mostly her POV, a few others. I also added things here and there because I would have liked to see the scenes (like why did Arya and Daenerys not have one conversation? I was annoyed by that and so they will meet in this fic). Mostly show canon unless additional info or characters are needed. Starts at the beginning of S7, some scenes start out like the ones in the show but then change, because if Dany knows from her dream that some act will bring disaster she’ll do something else. Feedback is deeply appreciated and more than welcome. Please be as gentle as you can! If you hate Daenerys you will not like this story. But I’m trying to be gentle with all the characters. Well, most of them. Trying to ascribe good motives as much as possible. I do not own these characters or story. Everything here belongs to George R.R. Martin, D.B. Weiss, David Benioff, HBO.
