Summary
Sylves Tevenra is a powerful mage, said to have been born with the ability to subdue humanity's mortal enemies once and for all. Esares is the demon who was sent to kill him and has been paying the price ever since. And then there is Anereth Laverien, who Esares knows is unkind and treacherous, but who is the only person his master would trust with his treasured slave.
Esares holds the key to his master's destruction, but he will have to decide whether using it would bring him and his people closer to freedom, or merely turn him into another dangerous man's pawn.

Summary
When Anereth first approached the Chosen One, he hadn’t realized how easy it would be to win him over. From the first day of their acquaintance until many months into their romantic relationship, everything had gone perfectly smoothly.
So it’s a shame when Anereth realizes he will have to get humanity’s beloved hero to break up with him.
(If only Sylves weren’t the worst kind of hypocrite, Anereth could have brought himself to do the expedient thing.)

Summary
Getting a slave as a gift years ago came as a surprise to Anereth, but that was mostly about the timing. In this instance, though, nothing about it makes sense – starting with the slave's gender and ending with the fact that the man giving her to him has absolutely no reason to do so.
Except apparently he does, and it’s not that he wishes for Anereth’s appreciation or happiness.
Still, the motive behind the gift Anereth could have stomached. After all, it's not a betrayal when you should have seen it coming.
The slave's attitude, though... the slave's attitude is another matter.
(The slave’s attitude is the least of his problems.)

Summary
A few months before Anereth is due to start attending school in the capital, he receives an unexpected birthday present in the form of a personal slave. And it's not that he doesn't see the advantages of having one, but he has books to read and spells to study, and there's just not a lot of time to concern himself with strangely unenthusiastic bed slaves.
Unfortunately, said bed slave does not do well being ignored, or being touched, or being a bed slave at all. And Anereth quickly realizes he will have to do something about that, because while he's not sure how to feel about having to deal with a personal slave, he knows he doesn't want to have to deal with a dead one.
(Backstory; could also be read on its own)

Summary
Thrust into the Frieren universe in the middle of the wilderness with a newborn demon who already walks and stalks prey, Clara Taylor’s new life is a nightmare.
Project manager, failed Olympic archer, anime fan, divorced mom... none of her credentials had prepared Clara to wake up inside a Greater Demon's body mid-labor. But she's dealt with more difficult things than a horned baby with predator instincts and zero concept of affection.
Clara has raised a child before, and she isn't about to let a little thing like demonic biology stop her from being a good mother.
The real question isn't whether she can raise him, it's what happens when a demon is loved from the very first day.

Summary
There are awful rumors spread and a high enough bounty for 15-year old Law to be hunted by the world. To his misfortune (or rather, his luck), it's Red-Hair Shanks who catches him.
Alternatively - Shanks didn't expect the monstrous pirate who allegedly ravaged countries and destroyed Windmill Village to be a desperate teenager only trying to survive.

Summary
There’s a magician living in an abandoned warehouse down on the Tricorner Docks.
Park Row has its fair share of strange tales and rumors floating through the cracks. The kids of the alley talk at length, telling ghost stories and cautionary tales. Passing advice on how to survive from one night to the next in the form of fun little parables that make the cold nights feel a little bit warmer, and maybe let them pretend that their lives are all a fun little game, just for a few moments.
The magician, at first, feels like a fable. Something that a kid saw and read just a little bit wrong and didn’t wait around to find out what was really going on. The kid who spotted the magician – a 9 year old red-head with green eyes and a smattering of freckles across his pale face – tells the tale like a myth.
A magician with golden hair and golden eyes, who clapped his hands together and rebuilt a car from scraps with a flash of light. Taking nothing in payment but a bottle of whiskey and a home-cooked meal.
(Or: The one where Edward Elric ends up in Gotham, decides Jason Todd is his, and makes it Bruce Wayne's problem.)

Summary
There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.
Who was this Nightwing, anyway?
