Summary
“WE’RE NOT LAST PLACE! WE’RE NOT LAST PLACE! WE’RE NOT LAST PLACE!”
To that ebullient tune, the team marched into the dressing room, only for the voices to cut off as one upon catching sight of the figure that stood in the middle of it.
Sylvanas opened her eyes briefly, then decided the better option was to shut them again.
“Hello,” said Jaina Proudmoore, the soon-to-be-new coach of the Undercity Rangers. “Catchy slogan. I can see that we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us.”
(AU where Sylvanas captains a hockey team, and Jaina is drafted to coach it.)

Summary
Regret . . . And what if she and Miles had met at twenty, instead of she and Tien? It had been possible; she'd been a student at the Vorbarra District University, he'd been a newly minted officer in and out of the capital. If their paths had crossed, might she have won a less bitter life? - pp. 534, A Civil Campaign

Summary
Two moments between Mercymorn and Augustine: pre and post-resurrection.
"She curled into his side, clinging feverishly to his shirt like a five-year-old to their mother’s leg, or like ivy to a tree trunk. He smelled like coffee and cigarettes and sweat. She hated it. She burrowed deeper into him, because of course she didn’t really hate it. She didn’t know that she had it in her to hate anything or anyone right now, not even him. The thought made her a little sad, and she clung even tighter until he winced."
