Summary
Mulan expected death on the mountain.
Instead, she was left behind.
Betrayed by the men she fought beside and abandoned in the snow, she is prepared to disappear into the cold until she is found by the enemy she was taught to hate.
Shan-Yu does not come to finish the job.
He comes because a warrior who buries an army beneath a mountain does not get discarded like broken armor.
What happens when two people decide to become the monsters their world already believes them to be?

Summary
The Emperor has decreed that a group of peace-making beauties be sent to marry into the ranks of the Huns, as a gesture of unity and fraternity towards the now defeated tribe, their new allies.
Hua Mulan goes along as an escort. Shan Yu finds this, and her ever increasing anger at him, endlessly amusing.

Summary
Fa Mulan saved China's Imperial Army and was left wounded in the snow to die for it.
The men that she trained with and saved the lives of threw her away for being something she could not control. They called it mercy, a debt repaid. As if leaving her half dead on a frozen mountain top was any better than cutting her head off...
Now bleeding, cold and angry Mulan thought this truly might be her legacy. Failed bride, failed soldier, failed daughter.
But one man saw her for what she truly is; a skilled soldier, a strong warrior, a brilliant women. He knows that she is destined for greatness, next to him, at his side as an equal.
The only person that the Khan of the Huns will ever bow to, his dark Empress, Fa Mulan.

Summary
China and the northern steppe have been bleeding each other dry for generations — one slow border stone at a time, one unanswered treaty at a time, one burial at a time. Shan Yu rides south carrying thirty years of his father's patience and two fresh graves. Hua Mulan rides north in her father's armor, carrying his name like a borrowed life and a country that will not remember her name correctly even if she survives to let it.
Shan Yu is not what they said he was. Neither is Mulan. It takes both of them longer than it should to figure out that this is the most dangerous thing they've learned about each other.
A historically grounded, slow burn enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance set along the fault lines of Northern Wei China and the Rouran confederation. Rated E for wartime violence, grief, political consequence, moral ambiguity, explicit sexual content and two people taking far too long to admit what everyone else already knows.

Summary
It starts off innocently enough, really.
Just Eddie digging his fingers in where they don't fucking belong, thinking he can rile Billy up if he's coy enough.
(He can, but that's irrelevant.)
And in the same tone of voice that Eddie always tells him, “It's okay to want things, baby,” he says, “It is fucked up, but that's why it's fun.”
