Summary
The whispers of his name grow into chants. Muad’Dib. Muad'Dib. Muad'Dib. She could kill a thousand men, and still the first one after would utter his name. It is pointless to run from it, to hide from it. She knows this. She does not bother with lying to herself about a truth as fundamental as this. She cannot escape him.
But for a time, life is simple.
And then it is not.
Or — Chani, in the aftermath.

Summary
What Sasuke Uchiha wants is an indeterminate EC-02 Step 2 position with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation that offers a decent salary, health benefits, paid vacation, and a manager who won't break all his Excel spreadsheets. What he gets is Naruto Uzumaki, an improbably attractive and unbearably annoying co-op student who eats way too much instant ramen and doesn't understand that "casual Friday" doesn't mean varsity sweatpants.

Summary
“You’re a selkie,” he breathes, taking a step forward, but halting when she takes a hasty step back, ready to bolt. Her eyes scan the ocean, but sees only the rolling slate blue waves. No one can help her, she is alone.
“Don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.” His voice is gentle, but he doesn’t relinquish her skin, and Alina whimpers, anguished. Now that he has caught her, he will take her away from her beloved home; he will hide her skin and marry her. She will never swim freely in the sea again, never see her friends again. The pit of despair yawns wider in her stomach, greedily swallowing every drop of hope it encounters.

Summary
"And now you’ve moved onto more grown-up books, huh? Don’t be embarrassed," Aleksander grins at her, and the flash of his teeth is wicked. "Why don’t you tell me your favourite part?"
"Aleksander," she says, exasperated. "It’s—it’s basically porn; it’s not like I have some great literary analysis for you—"
"—No?" he interrupts. "You don’t have a favourite part of sex?"
Or: Alina's reading time is interrupted by her older brother's best friend, Aleksander. It's been years since she's seen him — most things have changed, but her feelings haven't.

Summary
She dreams of a tree, alone in an old monastery. Its gnarled roots and branches reach out to her, as if to grab onto her wrists and never let go.
The Fold is gone, the Darkling is defeated, and the Sun Saint has crowned Nikolai Lantsov as the rightful king of Ravka. It's a happy ending for everyone.
Right?

Summary
"Halbrand and I are just sleeping together. Plenty of people do that with their exes."
Elrond looks as though he is staving off a migraine. "Yes, I agree, loads of people have bad ideas. Is there some sort of competition you're seeking to win? A medal for 'most likely to detonate a ticking time bomb', perhaps?"
She scoffs. "You're missing the point; it doesn't mean anything. I hardly even see him any more than I used to since we started splitting custody of Celebrian—don’t give me that look, it makes me feel like you don't believe me—"
"Well, for one, you are FaceTiming me from his bed."
Or: Modern AU. Galadriel is having no-strings-attached sex with her ex-husband, Halbrand. Strings so unattached you wouldn't believe. (Seriously.)

Summary
“Ah, so you don’t remember.” That revelation made is mouth quirk. “I told you not to have so much to drink, little wife.”
Little wife. Why did that make her heart flutter and her aching center pulse?
She scoffed. “Maybe you had too much to drink, too. Last time I checked, I wasn’t anyone’s wife.”
His dark gaze flickered. The teasing gaze turned hard for just a moment, and then a smirk curled his lips; mean and so, so gorgeous, and Alina felt a horrible pit in her stomach.
“Oh,” she whispered.
Or, Alina and Aleksander wake up married in Vegas on New Year’s Day, and oh what a coincidence, they had met exactly a year previous when Aleksander was Alina’s midnight kiss. I’m sure that won’t come up again…

Aleksander presses a silent kiss on Alina’s forehead, feeling so warm and sated he can’t bring himself to feel anything else. No guilt, no remorse.
“No,” he says, into the receiver. “Jesus. I wouldn’t do that to you.”
Or: Aleksander meets a beautiful girl stained with paint and keeps forgetting he already has a girlfriend.
