Summary
- His expression turned gloomy before he even turned the page. His companions, knowing what was to come, settled themselves with similarly stony expressions. “To celebrate his birth, the King and Queen launched a flying lantern into the sky - and for that one moment, everything was perfect.” Scar’s gaze lingered on the glowing lantern on the page. Then, with a sigh, he reached the final page of the book. “And then that moment ended.” -
OR:
Grian has lived in a tower his whole life, sheltered from the 'dangerous' world by his uncle, known to everyone as The Watcher.
Scar is a robin hood-esque thief by trade, stealing from the no good Steward Ren and giving to the poor.
A plot involving the royal crown, a group of thieves who may as well be family, and a prince who has no idea who he is changes their lives forever.Tangled AU centred around Desert Duo, with appearances from most of the life series cast and my own fantasy worldbuilding sprinkled in!

- There was one thing in that diary, however, that she hadn’t told a soul. If it got out, she could kiss her reputation and her friendship goodbye.
Her massive, totally not platonic feelings for her best friend. -OR: French Duolingo gave Zari a male love interest and I couldn’t let that slide when Lily is RIGHT THERE.
This is a very short shameless, cutesy get-together for the hell of it, I am well aware that it is unrealistic and silly :P -

Summary
"The only man whose spear could have
reached her is dead. She is free.
The only man but that man’s son.
The spear flies from the top of the beach, soundless and precise. Its point
hits her back like a stone tossed onto a floating leaf. The gulp of black
water swallows her whole."The story of Briseis, from start to finish, and then from the afterlife.
I loved her character and needed closure for her, because she deserved a place in Elysium.

The name 'Connor' is imprinted on his synthetic skin. It's almost bioluminescence, bright and effervescent; the name flickers as if it tries to soothe him.

Summary
In the months following the android's peaceful campaign for equal rights, Detroit has mostly returned to normal. As Hank and Connor work to solve the cases that come by their desks, something that should be routine turns a lot more deadly. Cops and androids working for DPD are turning up dead, and a worrying pattern is emerging behind the scenes.
With the threat increasing, Hank and Connor need to work fast to figure out who is behind it, and in turn, uncover the motive that would drive someone to such drastic measures. Will their efforts prove successful? Or will they just become the next targets in their suspect's killing game?

Bookmarker's Notes
I LOVED this aaa oh my lord I adore case fics and the relationship building this had was incredible. Gavin is such an ass but I'm a sucker for his very slow, very unwilling redemption. and hank and connor were, of course, the fucking best.
[“Shit, you having a BSOD in there?” Gavin said, leaning down into his face.
Connor was so close to head butting him. Instead, he forced a smile onto his face and said, “Detective. I destroyed my own programming to participate in a cause that I believed in. I broke into CyberLife, fought my way past armed humans, and converted an entire army of androids to that very cause. I defied my creators and made a way for myself. If you think a few stray words crafted from hatred would be enough to crash my systems, I would say you think entirely too high of yourself. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m sure you have better things to do than bother a heartless piece of plastic, don’t you? I know you do. I’ve just scanned your desk and I see no less than five incomplete assignments waiting to be filled in.”] HAHSHBHJA GO OFFFFF CONNOR!!![Hank had shot him once in the right leg, and twice in the chest. He remembered, suddenly, the other night in the bar. Connor had told him that he had a hunch that Whitfield’s partner was an android, that she never left any evidence behind, that CCTV was always down when they did their crimes. It wasn’t difficult to line the pieces up. A female android who they couldn’t find, an AX400 committing crimes in the same manner Whitfield was killed. It was so obvious.] YESSSS I WAS RIGHT!!!! I love a good case fic and I love figuring it out before the reveal >:))
[Gavin snorted. “You’re optimistic for a piece of plastic.”
“And you’re lively despite looking like a dead man walking.”] -

Summary
“Your heart’s racing,” Steve noted, quietly.
Eddie laughed. It was more of a shaky exhale, lashes fluttering as he struggled to keep his composure. “Stevie,” he whispered, fingers cradling Steve’s side like he was precious. “Yeah, no fucking shit.”
OR: Ma Henderson & Wayne Munson get cosy, Dustin makes an off-hand remark, and Steve spirals. It works out in the end.
