    Summary

    Some of them, the wish-granters, the kindly folk, the godparents, are summoned by desire, or hard work, or anger. It calls them, tugs them, until they can go to help, to see the desire fulfilled, the wish granted. Some of them receive in trade only the sense that they're balancing the scales of the world. Some of them amass favors owed. Some of them make bargains.

    Rumpelstiltskin has always found himself called to tears, the quiet ones of despair, the ones that are silent because it never occurs to the one weeping that someone might hear and come to comfort them. It might be better, if he could simply help them without asking anything in return, but his magic always asks for a bargain.

    Summary

    "It's not like Master Fu was real strict about following the Guardian rules himself, right? I'm pretty sure he never actually learned a lot of them." Ladybug's lips twitch.  "Not that he'd admit it.  But he left me in charge, now, and I don't want to do things the same as him just because that's how they're done."  She draws herself up, reaching slowly out to rest her hands on his upper arms. 

    Adrien holds very still against the burning sensation of her hands on him when he'd been braced to find he'd never feel that again, holds still against the burning at the back of his eyes. 

    "I'm not leaving you out."  Ladybug breathes, and at some point he'd begun to unconsciously match his breath to hers.  "I'm still learning, but we can learn together.  I get the impression from Wayzz that it's been a long time since anyone learned from the kwami directly, so I've been thinking we should start there, but I wanted to talk to you about it." 

    She pauses, breathes out when he does. 

    "I'm not- ready, yet, but.  But we need to be able to include our own kwami in our discussions, too." 

    Adrien stops breathing.

    Summary

    "Oh, it's realism  you're after?" There was a gleam in Jaskier's eye she hadn't seen before, one that worried her somewhat. He scrambled up to sit on the arm of the chair, freeing his arms to pull the lute around from its place on his back. "Well, I can add some realism.  Buckle up, ladies and witchers, because you're about to hear a Jaskier original."
    ---
    On the run from Nilfgaard and the Brotherhood post-Sodden, our heroes are tired and worn down from everything they've been through. Jaskier offers to lift everyone's spirits... through the power of song.

    Summary

    “Really?” Alya raises an eyebrow. “You’re not about to have a panic session over what to get Adrien?”

    “Nope,” Marinette shrugs.

    “So I shouldn’t expect any three am calls featuring a hysterical Marinette panicking about whether Adrien will hate his gift and never speak to her again?”

    “That would be quite a discourteous thing to do to one’s best friend.”

    “No overcomplicated flow charts cataloguing Adrien’s current interests, cross-referencing it with current gift trends, or plotting out what kind of reaction each potential gift will elicit in an obsessively colour-coded Excel sheet?”

    “Alya,” Marinette waves a hand, the picture of casualness, “it’s a class Secret Santa. There’s no need to get so into it.”

    Marinette is Adrien's Secret Santa and she's got this in the bag. Really!

    Summary

    Pop hadn’t done Stan many favors even before kicking him out, but he did teach him the most important part of a scam: a good handshake.

    Look ’em in the eye. Shake their hands firmly, like a man. Stand up straight and lie until you what you want to be true becomes true, whether it’s this watch is solid 24k gold or the Rip Off won’t give you rashes or I choose one brilliant mind a century.

    (or: the Same Coin AU where Stan remembers during Weirdmageddon)
