Summary
Edward likes Van Diemen’s Land — likes the weather and the wildlife and the break from the society of London. He likes the Franklins as well, even if they can be a bit overbearing, and Lady Jane can treat him a bit more like a child than the man of one and thirty years that he is.
He would have found a way to be happy here, he thinks, were it not for the arrival of the Ross expedition.
It is not the expedition specifically, he supposes. He misses the Navy, though he’s still not entirely sure whether it’s the Navy itself he misses or the structure and camaraderie that came with it, but this new yearning he feels has nothing to do with the Navy and everything to do with Captain Crozier’s steward, a young, dark haired man with the most enchanting pale eyes Edward has ever seen.

Thankfully, said stranger knows a thing or two about a thing or two even if Ethan doesn't.
Karl Heisenberg proves to be a very good drinking companion along with several other skills that come in handy.

“I realize that was a stupid question,” Nicky says, with just enough grace that Joe forgives him. “I just don’t want you to be disappointed.”
“That’s up to you,” Joe says. “I know what I want.”
“Oh?” Nicky asks.
“I want to present for—someone,” Joe says bluntly, nearly saying you instead when he catches another whiff of Nicky’s scent. “I want to be held down, and taken, and I want someone to do it who isn’t going to take it as a blanket statement about my politics.”

“It’s because of my nephew,” Nicky started. His new friend raised an eyebrow, gesturing for him to go on. “I was babysitting last week, and my sister gave me one job: to get him to eat the stewed broccoli she’d left. He’s still not got the hang of talking just yet, but he said he didn’t like broccoli. I asked if he’d tried it, and he said no, and I asked how he could be sure if he’d never tried.”
“Ah,” the man said, grinning. “Let me guess: You realized you’ve never tried sex with a man, so how could you be sure you’re really straight?”
“It seemed a rather blatant hypocrisy,” Nicky confessed.

Summary
At first, the Iron Bull is just writing poetry to Dorian because it's a fun way to tease him—he gets all huffy when he's pretending he doesn't think the lowbrow stuff is funny, and besides, he started it by making it a Vint-versus-Qunari thing. It's only fair for Bull to needle him a bit.
At first, Dorian is only writing back to Bull because he can't let him win. The pride of Tevinter's literary tradition (not to mention his own dignity) is at stake here, and he will not be beaten at metaphor by someone who thinks cattle-related puns are an appropriate way to seduce someone.
And that's all it is. At first.

“No Qunari would accept a Tevinter mage so easily... unless it was a ruse. When should I expect a knife in the back?”
It was a ruse, at least in the beginning.

Summary
An art exhibition; an assassination attempt; newspaper articles; the Qunari Embassy. Dorian Pavus certainly didn't ask for any of that.
Or, the fic where Solas hides behind trees, Sten makes tea, and Dorian, a sort-of-retired writer with a sort-of-wonderful boyfriend, is definitely not interested in the one-eyed Ben-Hassrath agent who is just trying to get into his fashionable pants, thank you very much.

Summary
It’s been two months since the hotel and the chaos and the carousel. Matt died mysteriously, and now, as a new year begins, Karen Page is feeling more alone than ever. Death seems to cling to her, and even though Frank Castle is out there (and leaving little gifts on her windowsill), he isn’t talking.
Everything changes again when Karen is confronted by her past. Her deepest secret (her “first rodeo”) was buried in a small-town cemetery nearly a decade ago, but now it’s haunting her again. Jason Chatham, Todd’s older brother, has learned that it was Karen who was truly responsible for Todd’s death. He’s out for revenge, any way he can get it, and in order to survive this shit storm Karen is going to need to trust someone with her secrets.
Good thing she knows a dead man. After all, dead men tell no tales.
OR:
The one where Karen knows all of Frank's secrets, but he doesn't know any of hers. She learns to trust him with more than her life, and he learns what 'after' might look like.

Summary
Frank Castle is a boxer at the top of his game. Laconic and anti-social, he has a reputation for being an incredibly-tough interview.
Karen Page is a sports reporter trying to prove herself in a male-dominated field. She's done playing games--trying to be the "Cool Girl" who caters to the male fantasy--and now she's on a mission to take no shit.
"For a while, the fact that an interview with Castle lasting longer than 5 minutes even existed was big news. Splashed all over the message boards—circulated among boxing and Castle fans alike. The very concept that someone actually got the man to sit down for more than a breath of time and give multiple-sentence answers to a question—it was huge. Massive. It was the only thing Castle fans could talk about.
Until three months later, when Frank Castle disappeared.
Then that was the news. It was the only news."
