“These golden ashes turn to dirt” by Amethystfairy1

Summary
Yes, Gem was a nature elf. Yes, she was also a mercenary. Specifically a bounty hunter. Her borderline obsessive interest in studying swordsmanship had been quite unpopular in the Southern Elven Territories, where she was from, and eventually, she’d struck out from there to make her living in the human kingdom of the old continent. She’d learned the basics of her nature spells, and despite common misconception, the spirits didn’t abandon you for murder.
Their love was unconditional. Unlike most people. Elves were a solitary sort. It wasn't that Gem necessarily disliked that aspect of their society. It was more that she was sick of getting looked at in such an odd way for having a blade on her hip. Besides, elves didn't exactly live in villages...they didn't exactly live anywhere, really, they drifted through the forests. They only really gathered at the spirit wells or some other villages for the education of the young, and that was rare.It was all very liminal. Gem didn’t like that. She preferred cold hard coin.
{In which Gem breaks a record, a legend is born, and all she really cares about is the pay raise.}

Summary
It was always the most pathetic little thing.
It was never an ache in her back, or a weakness in her knees, nor the pain that would build up in her talons from being stuck standing by the wall for hours and hours now.No. None of that.
Instead, it was an itch. Pointedly pulsing and annoying. But when her fingers twitched outward on instinct to adjust it, pinpricks of pain circled her collar and pressed in deep, a threat diving into her bones. Reminding her pointedly that was under such a casually cruel order. Unable to do anything but watch the negotiations, the exchanges, and witness the oddity of the elf who'd just paraded in. She was small, thin, and willowy. Like a strong breeze might blow her over, yet she carried herself like she'd sooner lop off someone's head. The more she watched, the more Pearl realized that was actually quite likely.
{In which Pearl gets to take a few deep breaths, Gem lives for gold coins and bloodlust, an unlikely friendship takes root, and they share some unexpectedly delicious campfire soup.}

Summary
“Well, this sucks,” Grian muttered, ducking behind a shelf of canned soup.
This was Grian’s first time out of uniform being caught by criminals. Usually, he only ever ran into them during patrol. He wasn’t…..really sure what to do here. He didn’t want to jump out and risk an identity reveal, but there was no way he could stand by and do nothing.
Not that they knew he – Horus – was there in the first place. Right now, he was just Grian – the intern at a small archival museum in the Bronx.
No. 8 “Oh horror, oh horror, what did you see?”

Summary
Grian groaned, dropping his head against the back of his couch. “This is such bullshit.”
“You got shot.” Grian tilted his head to pout at Impulse. “There was no way they were gonna let you work a shift.” Impulse gave him a pointed look as he glanced through his fridge. “That means no sneaking out for– why do you have no food?”
“I have food!” Grian said indignantly. “There’s plenty of food in there!”
“There’s a single box of leftover chicken wings and a bottle of Dr. Pepper.”
Grian stared blankly at Impulse. Eventually, Impulse shook his head and shut the fridge.

Summary
Gem is a bounty hunter, ruled by the money she earns by contracts. When the very person she's hunting approaches her, claiming that his crime is wrong and asking for her help, she's quick to agree.
After all, Gem loves some good chaos.
