Summary
Frustration burned as Cinder watched the girl feel for Belladonna's pulse. Her eyes were wide, the skin around the corners crinkled, dark bags clearly visible underneath. A moment later, they closed as she gave a short sigh of relief.
Cinder inhaled, breathing harsh through bared teeth. “Getting tired of fighting yet, Xiao Long?”

Summary
Yang’s lilac eyes opened. “Name one hero who was happy.”
Blake considered. Heracles went mad and killed his family; Theseus lost his bride and father; Bellerophon killed the Chimera but was crippled by the fall from Pegasus’ back.
“You can’t.” Yang was sitting up now, leaning forward. “They never let you be famous and happy.” She lifted an eyebrow. “I’ll tell you a secret— I’m going to be the first.” She took Blake’s palm and held it to hers. “Swear it.”
“Why me?” Blake blinked.
“Because you’re the reason! Swear it.”
“I swear it,” Blake said, lost in the high color of her cheeks, the flame in her eyes, and they sat like that for a moment, hands touching.—
OR, The Song Of Achilles x Bumbleby AU.
Yang, “best of all the Greeks,” is everything Blake is not—strong, beautiful, the child of a Goddess—and by all rights their paths should never cross. Yet one day, Yang takes the shamed princess under her wing and soon their tentative connection gives way to a steadfast friendship, and a blooming love amongst the Trojan war.Bookmarked by RobotTurtle

Summary
Life was a kaleidoscope of muted grays, blacks and whites. The concept of color didn’t belong to everyone, and it certainly didn’t belong to Blake - unless she found and locked eyes with her soulmate.
But her past, ever haunting her, caused the girl to keep her head down and avoid making eye contact with any strangers she came across. She didn’t want to find her soulmate.
Well, it was more like she didn’t believe she was worthy of one.
Blake accepted that her world would remain forever gray. It was what she deserved, after all.
That was, until she met an oddly captivating girl that would open her eyes to new possibilities.

Summary
“Oh, come on. ‘Ferry Strike Drags On?’” Jaune complains, reading from the board. “It’s like Schnee doesn’t even want us to sell papers.”
“Better than another election puff piece talking about how great he is,” Oscar grumbles with a shrug. “Hawking that stuff makes my teeth hurt.”
“C’mon, guys, lay off. What do I always say?” Yang asks, tone dripping with cloying encouragement.
She’s rewarded with eye rolls and a ragtag chorus of voices ranging from unenthused to vaguely hostile: “Headlines don’t sell papes, newsies sell papes.”
[Or: Newsies AU! Blake arrives in Mantle with simple goals: stay away from the White Fang, keep her head down, get a job, and survive. The last thing she expects is to end up smitten with a charming fellow newsie like Yang. But when Jacques Schnee cruelly hikes the internal cost of the paper, Blake finds out that Yang’s been listening to all of Blake’s talk about fair labor practices and social justice a lot more closely than Blake realized—and the duo form a union that just might give both of them something to believe in.]
