Summary
Sitting on a tattered couch in a frat house while sipping possibly alcoholic apple juice, Barry figures that even though he's not exactly having the time of his life, he can at least cross "attend a college party" off his list of 100 Things To Do Before You Graduate College (Half of Which Barry Isn't Interested In Anyways But Iris Made Him Add It).
He never imagined that "hook up with a stranger" would be the next thing to go.

Summary
Considering Arthur's future wife will be chosen less for compatibility than for her political value, Merlin may be the only marriage he'll have that won't end in bloodshed or a great deal of fortifying wine.

Summary
It’s fanon that Sherlock has a military kink. Well, what if he doesn’t? What if he's always had the opposite? What if he had to get over an instinctive recoil when he realized that a. oh God John was it for him and b. oh fuck he was a soldier?
Sherlock has a boatload of preconceptions about military personnel. So when John comes on to him at Angelo’s, he comes out with the “married to my work” line we’ve all regretted ever since.
All the prejudices Sherlock had to discard, one by one.

Putting on Heirs by Agentbarkmacklin

Summary
Nikolai had set three rules during our marriage negotiations.
The first was simple: He did not care what Mal and I did behind closed doors, so long as there were no witnesses to any whispered conversations and late-night trysts.
The second had been easy enough to agree to, but one that had sent a shock of grim understanding through me when he’d spelled it out. I was never to bear Mal’s children.
Nikolai would never join me in my bed without agreement and understanding from both of us. But it would happen, and as often as required to produce at least one heir. I’d agreed to this too.
_____________
Set sometime in early Siege and Storm, if Alina had accepted Nikolai's initial offer of marriage. And then there's that whole pesky issue of producing heirs...Bookmarked by LikeWater

Summary
“The first few years, it was a relief to get away from all the stupid family drama,” Alex says, blowing a long sigh. The hand that’s not holding Henry’s slides onto his stomach, a warm, comforting pressure. “Then I started to resent it. It hurt to be stuck out on a mission while everyone celebrated without me.”
“And now?”
A grin slips onto Alex’s face as he walks two fingers across Henry’s bare chest. “Now I have you.”
(Or, 3 times Alex & Henry spent Christmas on missions and 1 when they didn't; or, A Very Nova Christmas Special.)

Summary
His legs are like jello. He’s not entirely sure how he’s still upright. He’s running on fumes and the energy gel he’d been handed about forty minutes ago by one of the secret service as he’d passed by. Fumes, energy gel pouches, the roar of the crowd against New York streets, and pure adrenaline because he can see the finish line. He knows what’s there: June and Nora and Henry.
Henry. The reason Alex is doing this whole damn thing in the first place.
---
Alex decides to run a marathon. It's all Henry's fault, really.

Summary
He continues to mutter ramblings about high society and the impossible balancing act of keeping up appearances before he falters to a tapering quiet, brown eyes coming alight with a realization.
Martha’s stomach churns, sensing a grand idea that could either be pure genius or terribly ill-advised. (With most of Alex’s ideas, it’s usually both.)_____
Alex is Martha’s plus one at her high school’s pre-reunion soirée, and she learns a thing or two about gumption.

Summary
["June stopped by at lunch; she showed me a delightful channel called Hallmark, which repeats the same story every hour after they swap one round of white, straight, small-town conventionally beautiful actors for another. It was entertaining.”
“June and I used to play a drinking game with those. Take a shot every time someone goes ice skating, sledding, or leaves the big city for their tiny hometown.”
“Good lord, you must’ve been sloshed in the first ten minutes.”]
***
On December 4, 2021, an attempt is made on President Ellen Claremont's life.
Alex gets shot instead.

Arthur is not often furious. Frustrated, yes; irritated, most certainly; even angry when the occasion arises; but he rarely indulges in the full glory of rage, the hot rush of fury beneath his skin.

Summary
To lose a manservant once may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose him twice looks like carelessness. When Merlin vanishes in the mines of Kemeray, Arthur's search for him uncovers decades of secrets and betrayals. But the sudden appearance of a baby white dragon bodes well for Albion, for Merlin and Arthur, and for the land that they will build together.
