Beatrice Ellsworth would just like a normal, completely average year. Just one. Nothing exciting, nothing weird.

And then her friend disappears, and she receives a weird present.

"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).

Peter hates hiding, but he's very good at it

For all their knowledge of all the languages of the world, Aziraphale and Crowley have created one for themselves that only they seem to understand.

Essentially, all the prompts I had to use in "The Heart is Hard to Translate" but fluffier (in most cases), and in some instances, smuttier, and without word count constraints.

One day, he just scrawled his signature all over Henry’s face, just for the heck of it. The fan whose book he’d been holding had absolutely loved the fact that he’d done so, so a few events later, where more and more fans of the film he and Henry had done together had shown up, he’d done it again, to the sheer delight of the fans there. After that, it had become some sort of joke, just to see how long it’d take Henry to realise he was doing it.

Alex wasn’t a doctor, but he knew what this combination of medicine was used for, and he was suddenly all too aware that no matter what he said or did, there wasn’t much he could do to ease the burden on the man, Mr. Fox, in front of him, especially if he was the one to pick up the medication, as opposed to, well, anyone else. And while he dealt with patients who got this combination of medicine often enough, he never felt quite so unsettled by it as he did today, so pissed off that there was nothing he could do, besides send mr. Fox on his way with the medication for his father.

 

He felt the overwhelming need to go text his own father and Leo, right now, but that would have to wait.

Or: 5 times Alex sees Henry in the pharmacy, and one time he meets him elsewhere

Jessica's always known the chicken drumstick on her wrist will lead her to her soulmate. She's also known ever since she met him that Billy sure as hell isn't it. When her mother hires a stunningly handsome private chef who dreams of opening a chicken restaurant... well, she can hardly be blamed for hoping.

For all their knowledge of all the languages of the world, Aziraphale and Crowley can’t seem to articulate just how they truly feel about one another. And then, by the time they do, it's too late.

With everything in life, there is a season. And they are always changing.  

Maria Wynstone is mostly content with a quiet life at her family's country estate, but as the daughter of a gentleman farmer, she knows that a few bad seasons can make all the difference to one's circumstances. And Maria has had her fair share of bad seasons in Town, to make her never wish to quit there again.  

Arthur Colbourne does not mind the law per se, but an embarrassing bumble in court rattles his confidence to the point where he questions all he's ever worked for. However, when his Uncle Wallace unexpectedly dies and he inherits the estate, Arthur finds himself thrust into a role that he is quite underprepared for, particularly when he meets the daughter of his new neighbour, Miss Maria Wynstone.

Drawn to her quiet charms, Arthur finds himself feeling things he's never experienced before. And when the delightful Miss Wynstone receives startling news about her brother, Gerry, Arthur cannot help but offer his services to help her find the truth of what happened to him. As the hunt for Gerry reaches a critical turning point, both Maria and Arthur are confronted not only for their growing feelings for one another, but also ghosts from their pasts. They must then find a way to move beyond their individual failings, should they want to succeed together.
