    Summary

    It was the summer of 1926, the summer when a lightning strike detonating over a million pounds of explosives in New Jersey would be the second most devastating event of the year for humanity. The most devastating would occur in New Orleans in June, and it would make so much less noise that it would go unnoticed by the entire population of Earth save the two people participating in it.

    Summary

    Part of the Bureau of Investigation, Y/N is assigned a new case that takes them to the turbulent South— specifically a city called New Orleans. Determined to succeed, they aim to uncover and catch the rising serial killer known as the Bayou Butcher. Thankfully, they encounter some help along the way.

    “Think of it this way, my dear– wouldn’t you rather have the assistance of a man who’s informed about this wonderful city?”

    They narrowed their eyes, but the radio host’s charming smile simply widened.

    “Civilians should not be involved in investigating criminal cases.”

    “Oh, but Agent…” Alastor paused, his gaze glinting faintly behind his round glasses. “I already am.”

    Summary

    He had been hired to tutor their younger brother in dance, but perhaps he was also there to teach a lesson about love.

    Thorny and driven to prove himself, Kai Smith knows little about desire until he is forced out of his office and into the strange post of chaperone to his debutant brother. Thrust into close proximity with Cole Brookstone, his brothers mysterious etiquette tutor who stirs a passion in him that burns too hot for the ballroom but is better suited for places more private.

    Too late does Kai realize that the man hired to teach his brother to dance, may instead dance his way into his heart.

    Summary

    Мартин видел достаточно таких ребят за время своей жизни в Берлине. Чаще всего они уходят в криминал или спиваются. Некоторые поступают, как Макс, когда заканчиваются родительские деньги.
    Он считал их безмозглыми юнцами и никакой жалости к ним не испытывал. К Максу он, впрочем, тоже не испытывал ничего, но проклятая нерастраченная жажда спасать заставила его вцепиться в этого парня и сохранить его жизнь любой ценой.

    Summary

    “I love you like a dog.”

    “And I need you like a child.”

    Chuuya Nakahara hasn’t seen his former best friend, Osamu Dazai, since their days at Astor Academy, a renowned school for the wealthy elite. Now, Dazai has been cut off by his benefactor from the Port Mafia, and spends his time with Ranpo Edogawa, a live-in assistant to the famous writer Poe, and a burlesque dancer named Noelle Gardener. Chuuya is also engaged to a woman named Evelyn, the daughter of Francis Fitzgerald, whose late daughter used to be Dazai’s love back in Astor. Separated for years, Dazai and Chuuya are reunited with more resentment than love, despite knowing each other better than anyone else. Chuuya is repressed, and Dazai is even worse off, trying to cure himself through his increasingly codependent friendship with Noelle. Chuuya has two choices; an impossible life with his troubled, alcoholic lover, or no love in the house of gold.

    Summary

    "Where did that crusty old winged freak send me off to?!"

    If someone went up to Sarah and told her that a weeping angel would take her from her home in 2026 and drop her not only in the 1920s but in the Peaky Blinders 1920s, she would have asked which episode and season of Doctor Who that came from and where she could watch it.

    Yet here she was, in Netflix's Peaky Blinders, and now wondered if she would die by razor, gun, or the smoke.

    Summary

    No thing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.

    — Percy Bysshe Shelley

    It is a great loss, to have a bastion of such knowledge be burnt to ashes.

    Better to have these things journaled, than to rot in my memory, forever untouched.

    Russian Republic felt drawn to visit the palace he once called home. Stumbling into the library, he found himself comfortable in his now-dead mother's private corner, and found a peculiar book. Supposedly one of a single poetry by an Englishman, yet looked more thicker than it should be. Though it felt rude to intrude, it was only then that he realised the true nature of the white leather-bound book.

    It was a diary, Russian Empire's diary to be exact.

    (Or, Russian Republic finds and reads Russian Empire's diary.)

    Summary

    Late 1920s. Theodore was a young, ambitious man who had studied journalism, despite his parents' disdain. He was always out on his way, to catch a scoop that would get his article on the front page. These days, though, journalists weren't exactly popular among the general public—in Theodore's case, the folks living in New York, Manhattan. But Theodore, he didn't mind, as long as he was passionate about what he was doing.

    Then, there was Terrance Vale: Attorney. Successful in the states, rich—cold and uncannily calculated. The press had given him the name »Most Handsome Man in Manhattan«, and he had it all: Not only his looks. When he spoke? It was unbelievable. Rumour has it, he had a golden tongue; his manner of speaking was out of this world, as if he'd been born to be an attorney. Always professional, always choosing his words with precision. He never left the courtroom, not really. Many even found it embarrassing to talk to him—because Terrance Vale overpowered everyone by solely speaking.

    Summary

    Thomas the Tank Engine is a calm world… until you wake up reborn as (Iron) Phoenix, a brand new engine with little or no clue, too much steam, and a knack for surviving teasing engines, impossible schedules, and very judgmental coaches. Somehow, you have to learn the ropes of Sodor's very own North Western Railway itself, keep your firebox from exploding, and figure out if anyone has ever taught engines about basic self preservation, and all while wondering how much trouble one rookie engine can actually cause.

    And also, how do you make sure you don't die (again, maybe? Did you even die?) too soon as (Iron) Phoenix?

    {Just as a disclaimer, this is based on both canons with all their retcons that came with them!}

    Summary

    Euan MacGillivray came home from one war to inherit another. His estate is dying, blighted by a decay that starves the fields and bleeds his coffers dry. His only solution is the axe, to sell the ancient heartwood of Alder Stone to pay its debts.

    Unfortunately for him, the land isn't empty. Something guards it. Coira is the Glaistig, the 'Grey Lady' of local myth made flesh and fury. Bound to the soil for centuries, she is the land's weeping heart, stony protector, and its vengeful spirit.

    Poison creeping from the sea saps her strength. And the new Laird's axe threatens her sacred groves. To save their home, a soldier who believes in nothing and a distrustful guardian must forge a new pact. One that will either heal the scarred Highlands, or unravel them both.
