In spite of not being named one of the prince's official guardians, Gwayne becomes his nephew's protector whilst begrudgingly allowing his cousin a place in the young prince's life as they learn how to navigate the other's approaches to parenting, and have a fair few arguments along the way.
Or
A series of drabbles of Daeron's upbringing in Oldtown focusing on Gwayne and Ormund's bond forged from loving the same child

For Better, For Worse by MissKatieWrites

Summary
Alyssa doesn't mind being second in everything: birth order, beauty, her father's favour. There are advantages to the shadow she's been living in. But when even Rhaenyra, fierce, charming, witty, is eclipsed by their baby brother, where does that leave the other princess?
To escape a court that has grown less and less hospitable for Targaryen princesses, Alyssa needs to find a husband, preferably one who stays out of court politics and can offer her the quiet life she seeks. But fate and her father bow to Lord Otto, so Alyssa soon finds herself betrothed to Ser Ormund Hightower, who has no taste for dragons and less taste for her. Their sympathies do not signify, however: A promise made before the gods is binding and their fates are intertwined for better, for worse.

Summary
Sakura could do this. She was a shinobi of Konoha, a brave kunoichi. She could do this. It would be fine. Perfectly fine.
She took a deep breath and said in the most normal tone she could muster, "My parents wanted me to invite the three of you to dinner tomorrow night." It still came out a little bit strangled.
In front of her, Sensei grew very still.
"Oh," he finally managed.
*
The Harunos are eager to meet their daughter’s new genin team. Sakura isn’t sure that’s a good idea. Kakashi scrambles to groom his feral-raccoon students into something that won’t send Sakura’s parents running for the hills. Naruto and Sasuke are trying…someone’s best, that’s for sure.

Summary
He warned them. Repeatedly. Kakashi didn’t want a genin team. Kakashi had no idea of what to do with a genin team. He was self-aware enough to know he wasn’t quite right in the head. He should not be trusted with a bunch of children.
But did the Sandaime hear him? No, because the Sandaime wasn’t Minato-sensei and the old man never listened to him. And he went ahead with the brilliant idea of saddling him with his dead sensei’s son, Itachi’s little brother, and a kunoichi who was so much a cannon fodder that she had a literal target on her bright red dress.
He would not be blamed for the shitshow that was about to start.
OR.
Kakashi only knows how to teach three things: survival, assassination, and pretending to be normal. Good thing that's exactly what his cute little genins need to learn. And if they also learned how to be a family in the process, well, that's just a bonus.

Summary
The Arrangement is simple: when a Jonin Instructor is called away on a mission, another one agrees to look after their genin. Asuma is fine with that — until he remembers that Kakashi is an asshole.
Or: Asuma has to look after Team Seven and stubbornly refuses to quit smoking.

Summary
He graduated from the Academy at the age of five. Made Chūnin at the age of six. Promoted to Jōnin at ten. By thirteen he’d earned his bingo book entry, his ANBU tattoo and the moniker Copy Nin (Friend Killer).
By fourteen he had lost everyone who had ever mattered to him.
And now at fifteen he’s being told that he is a father.
Like most things on that list, it was being thrust upon him. Unasked for. Unwanted. Albeit quietly, reluctantly, from the somber arms of a girl he didn’t remember from a night he couldn’t remember– one of an endless string of nights that he could not remember.Kakashi is Sakura's father.
For twelve years he gets to forget that fact.
The past always has a way of catching up.Series

Summary
Levi craves anything, everything. Whatever it takes to drown out the sound of the rain. Because the shower of water against the window pane always makes him think of that day.
The first few times a storm rolled through the barracks, Levi had found and locked himself in a small closet. He’d slid down to the wooden floor and curled in on himself, wrapping his arms around his knees. It was the same position that he’d assumed in the hallway of the brothel whenever his mother worked, and it was the same position that Kenny had found him in as a child after his mother ultimately died. He stayed like that, rocking himself gently, until the thunder and harsh winds that battered the wooden side of the building passed. But once Erwin got his hands on Levi, those days stopped. Instead of spending the passage of a thunderstorm alone in a confined space made up of panels of stone and wood, Levi now spent them wrapped up in affection – confined by hard muscle and the warmth of another body.

Summary
Levi hates Companions – people who sell romance and a night of pleasure to anyone rich enough to pay. These Companions are more than prostitutes; they’re actors, allowing their clients to live out the romantic encounters of their dreams. And Levi finds the very idea of them disgusting.
But Hanji gets him an appointment, anyway. And, somehow, Levi is persuaded to go. And the Companion he finds is very different from what he expected.
Levi knows that it’s all fake. But, in spite of himself, he can’t stay away from Erwin Smith.

Summary
Zuko's soul marks have been regularly burned away since before he knew what they meant. He knows that he cannot be loyal to his father and his nation while also being loyal to a soul family, so he doesn't look for them. Unfortunately, that means that he doesn't know when he's found them.

Summary
“I think he’s sick.” Bato says flatly. “So unless you want the next meeting to include the Fire Lord puking all over the budget scrolls, maybe see if he's okay?”
Hakoda glances up the hallway, like perhaps Katara will appear and take over dealing with the prickly teenager. Of course, his daughter is off treating injured refugees with the Avatar, and Bato is still staring at him expectantly, arms crossed.
“Fine,” He sighs, and he claps Bato on the cheek before heading into the room.
Or: Zuko falls ill not long after Ozai's defeat. Hakoda sits with him and learns some unpleasant truths about his childhood.

Summary
Bookstore AU. At Survey Books, 27 year old Marco Bodt is lucky enough to be friends with everyone he works with, until grade-A jerk Jean Kirchstein transfers from another store, and in spite of his bad attitude, Marco can’t seem to help but fall for him. Too bad Jean is oblivious and/or just plain stubborn, and everyone else thinks this is Marco’s worst idea ever. But in retail, you end up spending a lot of time with your coworkers regardless of what you want, and Marco will do his best to make every interaction with Jean count until they get somewhere. Or at least until Jean gets less awful.

Summary
Laurent may have figured out he was in love a little earlier, but the process wasn’t easy. It went a little something like this.
(Or: a character study through cases, only it's never really about the cases at all. )
This is a companion piece to Like the Waters I Cannot Drink through the eyes of Laurent, unpacking some moments leading up to the events in that story that went over Makoto’s head. Please read that one first, it sets up the cases revisited here! This is a slightly darker/more intense take on the mutual pining— putting the burn in slow burn— and not as much of a romcom as the first story, but thanks to that one you already know they figure it out in the end.
