"Younger sons cannot marry where they like." - Col Fitzwilliam (Pride & Prejudice)

 ~

There’s little use in being a gentleman when you’re the younger son of a younger son. In fact, the person with the greatest chance of succeeding around here is Ginevra (if only she’d be reasonable).

But the willful sons and daughter of Burrough House in Devonshire may just find their way with a little nerve and a lot of heart (and some very unladylike behaviour).

(A Regency-era Muggle AU)

Lenora was born a princess, but forced to grow up in the outer provinces of her own kingdom after her castle was overrun and family destroyed. She has a powerful connection to runa, the energy that flows through every living thing. It’s such a strong connection that she often gets tangled with the energy of people who get in its path, witnessing the nightmares of their final moments when she rests her head. 

After nearly a decade in hiding she stumbles into the thick of the rebellion, stuck with a group of misfits with more ambition than sense.

"I hate accidents

except when we went from friends to this"

~ "Paper Rings" by Taylor Swift

Ron and Hermione get a glimpse of what they can be together.

It's like 13 Going On 30 meets The Family Man.

All things considered, it is quite hard to run away properly, when your friends can, quite literally, follow you to the Ends Of The Universe And Back.

This is fairly annoying when your friends' primary motivations for hunting you down seems to be to pretend that Everything's Fine Without Him, Really, ruin your perfectly-sweet, perfectly-quiet happiness with a sudden onset of Relationship Crisis, and to sidle you into playing Therapist when your only qualifications for the role are that you were once (sort of; it's a long story) a God and/or have previously given some Exciting News to a random virgin woman and some shepherds, neither of which are particularly helpful.

Beelzebub is Mildly Furious, Gabriel is Quietly Amused: together they're, well, sort of just... Meh about it all? 

At the Malfoy Yule Ball, Lily gives in to temptation.

Bellatrix Black Lestrange/Lily Evans Potter

Remus Lupin promised himself he would never transfer the werewolf Curse to another living being. After the first war with Voldemort, with his life in shambles, Remus retreats to a cottage in the woods to live out the rest of his miserable life in self-imposed exile.

One winter night, a lost soul seeks shelter during the full moon, only to find a caged werewolf inside.

Remus's worst nightmare is about to begin.

Remus Lupin/Severus Snape

Written for Remus Lupin Fest 2022

When Lan Wangji walks out of his high-end dental practice in Shanghai, he gets in his car and just drives.

Wei Wuxian isn't sure how or why Lan Wangji ended up in Jinxi, but he's not sure the village life is really for him.

The only problem? Lan Wangji is too stubborn to realise this and somehow, he's made this Wei Wuxian's concern.

"Don't ask me to care. Just make me feel something. Anything. Just make me feel alive." Seventh year is supposed to be exciting, a time to look forward to the future. But between grief, worry and war, Marlene McKinnon doesn't have the time and energy for feelings. She definitely isn't looking to fall in love. Especially not with Sirius Black.
