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.

Summary
"Em có thấy không, ánh đèn xanh từ bên kia bờ vịnh? Có khi chập chờn, có khi dồn dập...anh cứ dõi theo nó, nhìn mãi, nhìn mãi tới tận nhập nhoạng bình minh."
Hắn khẽ khàng đỡ lấy tay em. Ngón nhẫn long lanh bắt lấy vầng dương tàn cuối chiều, giọt mưa nghiêng loé sáng sắc xanh địa cầu khi em khum tay, lòng bàn tay vươn ra bắt lấy ánh đèn xa xôi nọ. Một nỗi run rẩy gần như là xót xa rơi vào khoé mi em, và trong màn sương những đêm trăng về trước, em tưởng như em đã thấy Sunghoon đứng đó.
Bóng lưng hắn cô độc trên cây cầu nhỏ. Sunghoon nhẹ giọng, hắn không gọi tên em, nhưng em biết hắn chưa từng thôi mong chờ em.
"Ngọn hải đăng của anh, đèn báo bão của anh."

Alastor Altruist is not a violent man, not until his love's heart stops beating, and he is left with a legacy he is unsure how to raise with out the comforting touch of her hand, with out big brown eyes that crinkle when she smiles. He doesn't know how to be father, but he knows he can't disappoint his song bird.
Michael loves her, he had her killed because nobody deserves his dove. A gilded cage is what she needs safely tucked inside heaven, with him. Under his wing. Alastor doesn't deserve her, and he'll make his pretty dove understand that.

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
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 Russian Empire's diary.)

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?
