Summary
“There is no pride to be won in besting a rival at diminished capacity.”
“Rivals. Yes.” Illusen looked down. “All we’ve ever been, and all we ever will be.”
Jhudora sucked a breath through her teeth. She wasn’t about to have this conversation. “Stop your rambling,” she ordered instead. “The energy would be better spent recovering than dwelling on the past.”
---
After the confrontation with Balthazar, Illusen is too weak to make it back to her own festival unaided. Jhudora brings her back to her bluff to recover in the meantime, as she suspects Fyora would have her head if she came back without Illusen. That is all. That is the only reason.
And if memories happen to resurface in the night... they both know better than to linger on them.

Don't Worry I Have Darkvision by Tah the Trickster (TahTheTrickster)

Summary
Truly unusual eyes, the Githyanki had. Those strange slit pupils. Cold and captivating. Nearly beautiful when wrought in righteous fury. Shadowheart wasn’t sure she’d ever seen anything like them before.
The githyanki have so many outwardly obvious alien traits to them, it's sometimes easy to forget the less-obvious differences. Like their eyes.

Summary
Shyvana's been quiet ever since she and Jarvan got back to Demacia City from her mother's attack on Wrenwall. But now she seems to be disproportionately upset about having trouble braiding her hair, of all things. Jarvan can't quite figure out why it's so important to her, but... fortunately for her, he knows just the guy for the job: older brother extraordinaire, Garen Crownguard.

Summary
It's not exactly a secret around Bilgewater that the blade of Noxus is... friendly, with Captain Fortune. Friends with benefits, as either of the pair often jokingly refer to it. Sometimes those benefits are just sex. Sometimes those benefits are showing up unannounced in the dead of night with severe illness or injury. And then sex.
It's a good system.

Summary
Sarah had explained her makeup routine a few times before, but Shyvana was usually more preoccupied with watching than listening. In her own opinion, Sarah looked beautiful no matter what she was or wasn’t wearing, but she couldn’t deny that whatever Sarah did with all her powders and pigments and such did have some breathtaking results. She hadn’t thought it even possible to make Sarah’s lips look more tempting than they already did.

Summary
Fortune frowned, slowly lowering her cigar to rest on the edge of her ashtray. Read over the invitation again.
“Well?” Rafen prompted.
“Didn’t think they’d be doin’ another Gala this year,” she said, schooling her tone into practiced neutrality. “Rather thought the Harrowing would’ve ruined the mood.”

Summary
In Katarina's line of work, discretion is key—as is the ability to remain undetectable in plain sight. That's why someone so private as herself wound up sharing a residence with a professional streamer, if anyone asks.
But really it's better just not to ask. You'll raise fewer follow-up questions that way.

Summary
It's their first Christmas together as official girlfriends, and as such Sarah's dragged them into her usual holiday tradition of putting on a marathon of really cheesy holiday rom-coms. Katarina is, predictably, less than enthused.

Summary
“You realize this isn’t likely to stay on very well,” Shyvana pointed out. Dragon claws were of a slightly different composition than human fingernails, and she doubted that the shiny black polish would stick for longer than a few days.
“Not remotely the point.”

Sarah takes it upon herself to give her girlfriend a matching manicure, and I take it upon myself to give Shyvana a nice birthday since Riot Entertainment apparently won't

Summary
It had been a long-running joke in Bilgewater, that it would take a genuine act of god to ever lock down Miss Fortune herself on the old ball-and-chain. Turns out, the jokes were only half-right. It took two of them.
She's not complaining about that in the slightest.

Summary
“And why do you think I care about that backwater swindler’s den?” Katarina demanded, as though she didn’t already know.
“Katarina… her name was listed among the decedents in the first missive from the Blue Flame Isles. She was one of the first ones taken.”
“Then you’ve received bad information.”
---
Katarina's never been one to take bad news well, but the Ruination has given her nothing but. And this news she'd rather hear from literally anyone else.

“Gods, you’re a fuckin’ ugly little thing, ain’t ya?” Sarah snorted. “You look as shitty as I feel.” The cat meowed at her, a raspy sound like an unoiled hinge. Sarah couldn’t help but laugh.

Every ship worth its salt needs a good mouser on board. Captain Fortune just happened to find hers by accident.
