Summary
Rand and his companions organize to deal with the Seanchan on the West Coast, the Dark One's touch on the weather, and the corruption that taints the One Power -- hoping to strike before the Shadow's forces can learn their plans.
“They wish to swear their loyalty to the Dragon Reborn?” Elayne repeated, not able to hide her astonishment. “You are certain.”
“Quite certain,” Verin said. “Several of them would be prepared to swear today if given the chance. Perhaps by the time the Dragon returns to Cairhien, they will all be ready.”

Summary
After the events of Star Trek Beyond, Spock gives a gift to Kirk that leads to discussions about life, love and the Enterprise.
“One last question before I let you go, Jimmy,” his mom said.
Winona had aged well, by anyone's standards – her gaze was more commanding than it had been when he'd been a child, the crow's feet by her eyes only adding to the sense that she could see right through him. Her close-cropped hair was more silver than blonde these days, lending her a dignity that he knew she'd felt the lack of when she'd been a grieving widow trying to figure out how to handle a kid and a newborn all on her own.
“No,” Jim said, not needing her to actually ask to know what the question would be. “There are no grandkids on the horizon. There isn't even a partner on the horizon. Still flying solo and happy about it.”
For day 2 of Polyshipweek 2024: gift-giving.

Summary
Mat thought that his future was set in stone, whether he liked it or not, until a conversation with Elayne lets him realize he still has choices.
"You will join me in my tent tonight," Fortuona said coolly. “To celebrate the Empire’s victory over the Shadow.”
Knotai gave her that lazy grin of his that seemed to mean very little — he gave it out whether he was going to obey or disobey her — and asked, "Will I?"

AU Roulette Ficlets by Butterfly

Summary
Fics written for the AU Roulette challenge on tumblr, where authors picked a fandom and were given three random AU prompts to fill.
My three prompts were: dystopia; secret agent; and museum/archives.
It was all history by the time Rand was old enough to hear of such things — it was simply known that it was dangerous to cross the river. That monsters lurked on the other side — giant frogs with three eyes, enormous lizards capable of flight, and Aes Sedai who used the One Power to kill.

Summary
When the TV series started airing, I was reminded of how unsatisfying I found Mat's romantic future in the book series, so I decided that I would write something where I snuck him into the Randland polycule. This series splits off from TV canon during S1E6: the Flame of Tar Valon, so everything that happens into the show prior to that is canon here, but from this point forward, I will be repurposing book canon to suit the needs of the story.

Summary
“Of course I would,” Rand said, so firmly and so unhesitatingly that a little shudder wracked Mat’s body and made him let out a shaky breath. “I’m here, Mat. I’ll always be here.”
His face had inched closer to Mat’s as they were talking, and now it was so close. Their noses were nearly touching, only a breath separating them.
And Rand wasn’t pulling away. Wasn’t pushing Mat away. He was staying with him.

The woman I have always desired to be mine by glasslilies

Summary
Set sometime during A Crown of Swords, exploring a potential AU where Perrin is instead sent to Illian to oversee the war against Sammael since Rand is growing increasingly distrustful of the generals under his command while he orders Berelain to deal with Alliandre. Berelain and Faile finally confront each other and a lot more than words are exchanged.
“I have never wanted your husband,” Berelain said, laughing a little, as if she could still not believe Faile had not worked out her intentions. “You bone-headed fool, none of it was ever about Perrin Aybara. It was only that…” She hesitated. “If… If I could not have you, I would not let him have you either."

Summary
Blood and ashes, what had they been talking about? Mat had to go to Rhuidean, or else he’d die? He didn’t want to go to the bloody Aiel Waste! And what was that about dying and living again and giving up light and saving the world? Son of battles? None of that sounded like anything he wanted anything to do with.
And that other thing. To marry—? Light! Mat Cauthon, married! And to some bloody noble? A man? He didn’t even like men! Well, at least he had some warning now. When he met this Lord of the bloody Morning, whoever he was, Mat was going to run as fast as he could in the opposite direction.
