Something Blue

by clottedcreamfudge

“Yes,” Magnus says, and it’s not even an answer to the question he’s been asked, but it takes all the breath out of him to say it all the same. Forcing the word past the lump in his throat takes a Herculean effort, and Lilith below, his hands are shaking. He suddenly wants it - wants this - with a fierceness he barely recognises in himself. ➼ Something (b)old, something new. Something borrowed kept, something blue.

The Foundlings

by Lost_In_The_Muse

Because she took one look at the itty bitty little green baby, and then there was no getting rid of her. Din just wants to know why he keeps finding so many unsupervised children running around.

Crowley's Foundlings

by Rathgrith

"Anthony J. Crowley had a secret. He hadn’t even told his angel, Aziraphale, though he knows the angel will only approve. Perhaps that’s why he hasn’t told him; demons don’t usually do things of which angels would approve. It would be awkward. It started when God decided to flood the earth and drown all the people..." Crowley saves kids throughout history, and Aziraphale is trying to find a mysterious, anonymous benefactor mentioned in a news article.

When the Future Began

by chamel

“I have things to do,” she told the child, as if he’d understand her. “Don’t get in the way.”The child cooed. She didn’t know if that was an agreement or not. It had been quite a long time since there were any foundlings or other children in the tribe, she could hardly remember what she used to do to keep them occupied. She’d been so young herself, too. So much had changed.(The Armorer agrees to watch the child while Din takes care of some important business.)

The Way Forward

by Roanoke_Wilde

Before Din Djarin accepted the bounty on the Child, his life as a Mandalorian-in-hiding was neither easy nor glorious. When he falls ill upon returning to the Covert one night, he must fight a battle he's not sure he wants to win, and his thoughts begin to wander to forbidden places. They begin to wander to his past--to all the choices that slowly made him into the man he is now. Perhaps it will take looking at the path he's traveled already before he can find his way forward.

Escape Night

by Maggie_GoldenStar1530

Every so often, the Foundlings sneak out of the Covert to run the rooftops of Navarro. It involved being able to take recon from other people who’d been above, and figure out where they could go, and where they shouldn’t go. It involved knowing the routines of the adults, so they wouldn’t be caught.And most importantly, it involved keeping it real cool so the adults wouldn’t suspect anything.(Takes place years before season 1)

Hamilton - Miranda

Love Constraining to Obedience

by KivrinEngle

For Alex Hamilton, life is good - far better than could ever have been expected for a foundling child with no magic, no family ties, and no place in society. Sure, he’s had to scratch and claw his way up, and he’s clinging to respectability and the hope of a decent future by his fingernails, but he’s managing all of it: a promising undergraduate career, a more-than-part-time job, and, for the first time in his life, an amazing group of friends. Now all that’s left is to find his soulmate - who seems to be hiding under his nose somewhere. For John Laurens, life is far more complicated. He has a curse to break, personal destruction to sidestep at every turn, and a would-be soulmate to avoid. Welcome to New York University’s School of Enchantment.
