Summary
Hank Anderson writes articles about crime. So why Fowler sends him in to cover some Crown Prince's royal wedding in a tiny country in nowhere Europe is beyond him, even if the Crown Prince has a smile that could melt any cold, dead heart.
(Or, an all-human AU loosely based on 'A Christmas Prince' because tis the season for Christmas trash)

Hank is not one to be spontaneous or to organize something as ridiculous as a 'surprise' but Connor deserves something special and damned if Hank isn't going to deliver.
Or, the one in which Connor meets a puppy (eventually).

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

Summary
In a moment, Klavier will play the opening notes of Trucy’s chosen fanfare and the show will start. The sound of enthusiastic clapping and Rayfa’s astonished “Pohlunka!” will almost drown out the sound of Vongole and Shah’do’s barking as Trucy pulls a startled Mikeko from her magic panties. And when it is over, Klavier will catch one of his hands in his own, pulling him behind the screen of the parachute curtain to place a firm and fond kiss at the edge of Apollo’s laughing mouth.
But for now, Apollo stands on the little stage, looking out with an undeniable feeling of warmth spreading through him that has very little to do with lingering embarrassment. Maybe Khura’in has changed him, too.

Summary
Zidian cracks across the clearing as Yunmeng Jiang disciples scatter out of the way; the mass of fierce corpses driven back just far enough to give them all a moment to breathe. There are more corpses than the reports suggested – too many more, and underlying everything is the sickening feel of resentful energy, clinging to his senses like an oily film.
Something’s wrong.

Summary
Yellow eyes blink rapidly at Aventurine, before drifting sleepily closed. The cushion-creature pushes its—top? covering?—upper-most layer into Aventurine’s hand, velvety but distinctly bread-like to the touch.
Bread? No, that’s not it. More like… cake?
Oh.
He remembers now. That photo he found, and the professor’s lovely blush at being confronted with the lock screen of those two creations.
~~
After several weeks of radio silence, Aventurine is called to Ratio's apartment and meets some unexpected critters.

Summary
“You’re being more amenable than usual,” Ratio says, carefully, warning bells blaring. “Perhaps you should be feverish more often.”
Is Doctor Ratio flirting?
Aventurine should laugh. Any previous thoughts of seeing Doctor Ratio flirt had involved chalk and terrible mathematical pick-up lines. This? Well, it was relatively smooth.
But he doesn’t laugh.
Or, after encountering some strange magic on a mission with Ratio, Aventurine wakes not only with a sister but also the title of "Prince". And apparently he's engaged to Ratio. What luck.
