Summary

When Evelyn Bennett starts working as Alastor’s secretary at the local radio station, she quickly realizes that he is not what he seems. Seeing enough to know better, she decides to look no further.
As their connection deepens through music, work, and conversation, curiosity becomes something far more dangerous. -

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.

“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
Newly married and thrust into life at the Romanian court, Nicholas of Romania and Princess Natalie Paley must learn to live not only with each other, but with the weight of unresolved grief, expectations, and a union born of necessity as much as affection. Court politics prove no less ruthless than those they left behind, and Nicholas soon discovers that love offers little protection against the ever-present shadow of his brother Carol, waiting abroad for the right moment to reclaim power, as well as Natalia's past.
Meanwhile, Vladimir finds himself drawn to Romania more often than expected, under the pretext of family visits that quickly become something else. Old feelings resurface where they should not, and the line between restraint and inevitability grows thinner with every meeting.
For Irina, marriage offers no refuge. When a devastating revelation shatters what little illusion remained, her union with Feodor becomes a façade, carefully maintained for appearances alone. Turning away from court life, she dedicates herself entirely to the creation of a new hospital, finding in purpose and service a form of fulfillment she never anticipated—and a freedom she had not known she was seeking.

Summary
A gleaming transatlantic voyage promises elegance, innovation, and escape, but beneath its polished surfaces, unease quietly takes hold. As guests indulge in music, spectacle, and carefully curated luxury, subtle tensions ripple through the crowd, hinting at hidden motives and unspoken histories. The journey becomes more than a passage across the ocean; it transforms into a layered exploration of ambition, deception, and the fragile illusions people construct to define themselves. What begins as a celebration of progress and refinement gradually unfolds into a gripping narrative of intrigue, where every glance and every silence carries weight. The voyage becomes a crucible, testing perception, trust, and identity, all while moving steadily toward an uncertain destination. In this confined world of glittering facades, the true journey lies not across the ocean, but within the hidden depths of those on board.

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.

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.
