Summary
Bucky Barnes throws some punches and has an illicit affair. The asset breaks protocol in several painful necessary ways. We get snarky. We get schmaltzy. Seven meals. Three names. A whole megillah.

Summary
5 times Ethan Hunt thinks about leaving the IMF, and stays for love. One time he thinks about leaving, and just stays. As always, a huge thanks to interropunct for helping translate the madness into the written word.

How to bear when the weight is gone by Ghostbird_7

Summary
Two people doing their very best to love each other. Both of them are insane and their jobs will kill them, but they are loving each other as best they can, and in a language they both can hear. There are worse things.
Thank you so very much to Interropunct for editing this into having things like whispers of plot and coherency. Read his MI fic and die a thousand deaths (an earnest and enthusiastic recommendation).

Summary
There are many stories about the origin of the House of Royce. What Aranessa knows is this: there is something inside her, ephemeral as moonlight and older than gods, and it is not, strictly speaking, good.
The Lady Royce knows there are things she should not permit herself to be tempted by.
But Aranessa wants.

Summary
Aranessa hadn't stopped shaking.
Julien thought, or maybe just hoped, that it had eased a little after she'd eaten. She'd curled up in bed without argument, beneath the druid-warmed blanket, but even facing away from him, he could tell she wasn't asleep. Her breathing had the faintest little shudder to it, and her grip on the blanket was a little too tight.
Julien watched the shift of her shoulders and the dense fall of her hair in the dark and felt utterly helpless.
Or: Lying together in the dark, Julien tries to take care of his lady as best he can, and maybe needs a little caring for himself.

Summary
Later, after the medics have checked him and the courtiers have fussed over him and Aranessa has been coaxed away at long last from his side, Julien's father will take him by the arm and lead him to the Davinos sitting room in the depths of the Golden Castle. He will pour his son a glass of brandy, and sit him down in an ornate leather chair, and he will talk to him, deep into the night.
We have a blessing upon us, Raimond Davinos will say. He has pictured this conversation several times before, scripted it out painstakingly in his head, but this is not the way he planned for it to go. When we swore an oath to House Royce, we were...changed, magically. Permanently, and forever. This is the way of the fae. This is the magnitude of their gifts. And this is the depth of our loyalty. It lasts through life and lasts through death, all the way to the edge of the Golden Shore.
***
Immortality can be a curse and blessing both. Julien Davinos learns this lesson the hard way.

Summary
“Here’s the deal,” Atlas says, voice clipped and short, stuffing his wallet back into a pocket to let an off-white envelope appear in his palm. “You’ve been robbing people at my show — it’s bad for my reputation. Frankly, I shouldn’t even be talking to you, and the only reason that I am is because I know telling you to stop would only make you double down and do it even more.”
“You don’t know that,” Bosco says determinedly, and Charlie can’t stop the grin on his face as he turns to look at him. Bosco’s always contrarian solely for the sake of it, determined to disagree only because he can, and it would appear that not even meeting one of their biggest idols could stop him. “We could totally still be rational people.”
“You pick pockets at pop-up magic shows,” Atlas says derisively, “you’re not rational people in the slightest. I know you’re getting a pretty good score, and me asking you to stop while offering no incentive is practically useless. So, here — I’m paying you to quit robbing my audience. Now, begone.”
—
After the Horsemen break up, J. Daniel Atlas isn't doing very well — until three kids keep robbing his audience. Somehow, they grow on him.
