Fics like Wounded Diplomacy

Varka felt his jaw tighten, but he buried the reaction before it could reach his face. “Here is what is going to happen,” he said, keeping his voice calm and level. “I am going to set you down, and you are not going to stab me.” The boy stared at him. Varka waited. The boy continued staring, darker and harder this time, as though silence itself had been sharpened into a weapon. Varka exhaled through his nose. “That was the part where you agreed.” No agreement came. Of course it didn’t. Varka glanced briefly toward the starsilver shard, then back to the boy’s face. “Fine. Since we are negotiating in silence, I will take anything that is not immediate violence as a tentative yes.” The boy’s eyes narrowed by a fraction. “Good enough.” Or: Varka finds a mint-green murder bunny abandoned on Dragonspine and, against all common sense, decides to adopt him. NB: Only Lohen is younger than in canon here. This is purely for plot reasons. By plot, I mean I like the thought of all the knights trying to rein in one feral gremlin.
