my sweetheart sings out like a devil
Space bounty hunter Jiang Cheng is kinda-sorta dating that cute singer at his favorite bar, forgets to ask important questions, and gets roped into space politics shenanigans, as you do. It’ll be fine. Probably.
Or: The (Syfy) Killjoys-inspired AU.

“Is Jiang Cheng my boyfriend?”
Nie Mingjue looks at his brother, and just looks at him. He waits just a bit longer for Nie Huaisang to crack – to whine that he’s not answering, or even to laugh at the joke-
He doesn’t.
(Or, Nie Huaisang missed a very important memo.)
up on melancholy hill
At any other time, Nie Mingjue would have teased his brother relentlessly and given Jiang Wanyin the worst terrifying talking-to of his life. But they’re in hiding and on the run, being hunted by both their own people and the rest of the world – and this is such a painfully normal teenage thing to experience in the midst of all the bullshit they’re dealing with.
Nie Mingjue figures that he can let his brother have this much, at least.

Then: Jiang Cheng was trying to find himself after his band took an unexpected break. Nie Huaisang was trying to prove he could be independent doing his art. They were roommates.
Now: An incident with someone who claims to be their fan leaves them shaken and second-guessing their choices.

Song of the Rain
He looked different, he knew that. His hair was longer, body bulkier, skin scarred from battles and sun-tanned from the desert, face and ears pierced with iron. He was dressed in Empire robes.
He looked very far from that young guard-in-training she used to pass by everyday…
“You know my lullaby.” Lady Juvia said. Land, her voice was still as soft and delicate as he remembered, and when she spoke in dialect- “You speak my tongue.”

until our ribs get tough
(An AU based on Marvel & Freeform’s Cloak & Dagger series)
Shiro and Keith were survivors of a life-altering tragedy that took away their loved ones but gave them special abilities and a mysterious connection to each other.
Shiro lived everyday wishing for closure for his brother. Keith for justice for his father.
Years later, fate brings them together once again – light & dark, hope & fear – to restore an upset balance and find answers to their questions.
don’t wanna walk alone (or run away)
Grandmother,
I may have accidentally married into Galra royalty.
Keith and Shiro were friends and got married entirely without meaning to, but they don’t regret that, not now.
Now, Shiro is simply eager to meet his husband-turned-boyfriend’s friends and family. The thing is, Keith is kind of a celebrity, and that… that comes with perks.
i’m looking at you (and my heart loves the view)
Keith out of leather and punk is just as bad, if not actually worse, for Shiro’s poor heart.
never gonna run around and desert you
Shiro has a truck, which qualifies him to meet the rest of Keith’s family.

The Duke’s Wife
On her first visit to Dreyar Manor, there were three things that Lady Mirajane Strauss was certain of.
First and foremost was the fact that her actions that day were a shameless breach of noble pleasantries that would surely prompt whispers among her family’s peers. Second, was her parents knew that it was so, they did not care – or maybe they did, but they were willing to risk it. They had willingly sent – ordered – their eldest daughter to enter the lion’s den and be devoured whole. The third and last, was that she came anyway. She was hesitant and terrified, but she was also resolute.
Her parents may have sent her for the Mad Duke, but Lady Mirajane made herself go for a chance to meet the swordsman with the beautiful long hair and deep blue eyes.
(From Lady Strauss to Duchess Dreyar – how exactly did that happen?)
Quincy Archer Hates You
“I’m like catnip for spirit-eating monsters, they’re going after my friends, I get my soul knocked off my body at least five times a day, my class thinks I’m a freak, Lance McClain of all people is all up on my case-… and my worst problem is that I have a fake boyfriend.”
Shiro listened, as he always did, and he laughed when Keith eventually said, “Fucking high school.”
