Summary
Fingon wants a graphic symbol of his love. In this world—Tirion, Age of the Trees, my personal canon—Fingon is in a committed relationship. He is of age, although barely, and his cousin Finrod (Ingo herein) is only a few years younger. But despite youth and questionable judgment, Fingon is his own man and does not need this ploy to attract and hold the attention of his beloved. (But Fingon never gets tired of trying ever more extreme stunts to prove his love to Maedhros.) This was written in response to the Silmarillion Writers Guild January 2017 Challenge: Taboo. I fulfilled the sub-part, “Religious Taboos,” with references as well to “Culture Shock,” “Table Manners,” “Found Out,” “Consequences,” “Sexual Deviance,” “Etiquette,” "Incest," and “Ethnocentrism and Prejudice.” (I might be overlooking more—this month was rich in prompts indeed. Once I choose the first prompt, the others fell into place effortlessly.)
This story is multi-purposed also. The biggest aider and abettor of my ficcish meanderings, IgnobleBard, asked me for a Finrod and Fingon friendship fic. Here ya go, writing buddy, hope you enjoy it!

Summary
A proper person does not write a "thank you" note in response to a "bread and butter" note, which is itself a sort of thank you note. Otherwise the exchange would continue, politely, without end and without substance. On the other hand, the occasion of receiving both one expected note and not receiving another, even more expected, note may prompt even the most proper of persons to continue the exchange -- with a bit of substance.

Summary
If you had to dance to be a proper Alicante Shadowhunter, Alec was done with the business. He’d become a mundane if that’s what it took.
By the time he was fifteen, he knew more ballroom dances than he cared to share. Though it had been the only subject in which he exceeded Jace in the beginning, the blond boy quickly caught up and in four years could dance better than even Isabelle.
Izzy was the only one who truly enjoyed the lessons. Jace tolerated them and Alec endured them, his jaw clenched and his toes throbbing every time he stepped the wrong way and Isabelle crushed his foot.

Summary
It's Christmas break and Harry is having a difficult time sleeping in the silence of the boy's dorm, so he goes down to the Common Room where he can better relax. There he finds a third year student named Leona Black, who surprises him with the knowledge that their parents were best friends when they attended Hogwarts. He latches on to the chance to learn more about his mom and dad, and the foundation of a new friendship is born.
||
Best friends.
Harry hadn't put much thought into it. He knew there had been a war. A war that his parents and a great number of others had died in. Any passing thought about their friends or people they knew when they were alive had been quickly dismissed, especially when Hagrid didn't mention any of them. Then again, the mere mention of James and Lily made Hagrid start to tear up, so maybe that was the reason why.
Leona suddenly stood. “Wait here, I'll be right back!”
Harry watched, completely mystified, as Leona sprinted up to the girls' dorms, returning minutes later with a thick, leather book in her arms. She was beaming as she sat down next to him again and opened the cover to reveal the first page, turning the book so Harry could see as well.Series

Summary
"Ancient Ithorian?"
"It's really not that different from Old Hapan," Ben says. "Both languages were established around the same time, and use similar syntax and grammar structure." His hands are starting to gesticulate along with him, like they always do when he's excited or happy to talk about something. Rey feels a burst of affection. "They both can be a little heavy handed on symbolism and allegory though-" he draws a rough circle in the air and Rey has to bite down a giggle at the realization that in Ben Solo's mind, language is a ball. She begins to slide along the couch towards him. "-but if you have a basic understanding of their mythology you can generally make headway- mmph."
Pssst. Ben Solo is a nerd. Pass it on.
Just something soft.

Featuring: odd jobs, surprising chemistry, lots of accidental kissing, the Prophet living up to type, owls exhausted by the carrying of dirty letters, a secret no one can talk about, a merry band of Slytherins (none of whom really approve), and an enchanted mirror (who really, really does).

Summary
"I've met with your instructor and reviewed her lesson plan," Ignis says, pushing the button on the elevator for the fourth floor. "You'll cover everything from manners to negotiation to conflict resolution. I expect these lessons will be ongoing until you fully take your place in court."
"That's years from now," Noctis protests. "At least tell me there's not going to be homework."
Ignis just smiles at him. The elevator doors slide open, and when they get to the door of the meeting room, he leans in and says more quietly, "If it makes you feel better about it, your instructor is young and beautiful. Consider how diplomacy skills might be a boon to your social life, hmm?"

Summary
Vader hadn't believed it at first, but he believed in the Force and the Force never lied. Recalling his studies when he was younger: Force sensitive children somehow, someway, managed to reconnect with their parents--always. Why he felt this connection with this boy--this rebel who managed to blow up the death star--was puzzling him.
or, Vader manages to catch Luke early on after the stubborn boy sets himself up for bait so his Rebel friends can leave. After seventeen years, a connection blossoms and the Empire gains a Prince. Vader will ensure nothing will stand in his way of ensuring his plan of ruling the galaxy with his son, not even Luke, who stubbornly won't admit he's Darth Vader's son and has a knack of getting himself into trouble or almost killed. Which Vader plans to put an end to.

Summary
Accurately dating fics is good practice, and is useful to both individual fans and the fandom as a whole. Yet finding accurate publication dates for many fics is nearly impossible: some fics don't have dates at all, some fics have hidden or lost dates, and others are incorrectly dated when they are re-posted to AO3.
