Summary
In a world where strategy wins wars and miracles demand impossible prices, Erin Solstice finds herself in Baleros teaching chess in the Academy. Fraerling-sized, battle-worn, and carrying secrets no one believes, she becomes both a puzzle and a wonder—forcing [Strategists], students, and even the great Niers Astoragon to confront truths beyond their understanding.
Spoilers up to 10.38 E. I deliberately omitted some characters and changed some of the original plot.

Summary
“We brought you somethin’ that might help with this here…” Alphonze paused for a moment, considering whether it was best to sugarcoat it or not. Gryffon, nude and sweat-damp and entirely unamused, raised an eyebrow. “Situation.”
He looked like a cub, then, his eyes wide as they found the bamboo, as though his field of vision had narrowed so far that he had not seen it before. Alphonze saw his hand twitch, as though meaning to reach out before thinking better of it. He would not make him ask. He handed over the bamboo, and Gryffon took it immediately, examining a stalk in disbelief before biting. It crunched between his teeth, and some of the tension bled from Gryffon’s shoulders as he chewed.
“Fuck,” he said through the mouthful, and Alphonze watched with fondness as Gryffon, after having hidden this weakness from the crew for as long as he could out of some concoction of protectiveness and shame, closed his eyes and gave in to relief.
/////
Or: Turns out pandaren go through mating seasons. Seeing as none of the crew is willing to go quite that far for Gryffon’s comfort, Alphonze comes up with another idea to help—and he has some revelations about himself along the way.

Summary
"In the aftermath of Twilight’s injury, Hyrule was thinking. Often.
Not about Life, but about books, and who wrote them, and how.
And thus, the experiment began.
“Why are you buying so many green potions, Rulie?” Legend asked.
Hyrule gave him a shark-tooth smile, a wolf-faced grin, the kind of expression that should occasionally come with blood in your teeth. “Research.”
-
Wild gets hurt, badly, and Hyrule taps into a power he hadn't been interested in using ever again. Except, Wild's been dead before, and the consequences of bringing him back again combined with Hyrule's own determination to see him healed are more than any of them know how to handle.

Summary
“There is sand in your hair,” whispered Jean Valjean, threading his fingers into that great tangled mane, which felt incredible on a bad day, and on this one made Javert’s eyes roll back into his head, and his knees weak. He clung desperately to Valjean’s shoulders, and Valjean chuckled. “That always works on you.”
“I suppose you have learned to press my buttons,” Javert breathed hungrily, and with great effort he pulled away from Valjean. “I think I must press some of your own.”
And without another word, Javert sunk down onto his knees.
