Summary
Tasked with an assignment by his father in Doylestown, Larry Russell doesn't expect to meet a young librarian and fall hopelessly in love. Marian Brook, for her part, never expected an out-of-towner would be the person who opens her entire world. But as they realize they can no longer live without each other, they need to find a place to exist together, in a world that seems rather determined to drive them apart.
Or, a Larian AU where Marian never moved to New York.

Summary
The trouble started with Marian’s phone buzzing.
Push alerts from the New York Times, Page Six, People, and, God help her, TMZ.“Billionaire Heir in Newport Love Nest with TV Star Susan Blaine”
“Lawrence Russell, 29, Linked to Married TV Anchor 30 Years His Senior”
“Scandal at RussellCorp: Family in Damage Control After Affair Revealed”
Marian’s eyes widened as she tapped one. The article unfurled in garish detail. With equally garish photographs.Her stomach twisted with something that was half disbelief and half… something else she couldn’t name.
Buzz. Another notification. This one wasn’t from a news app but a text.
Larry: Come over.
___________________________________He’s a billionaire’s son with a scandal, she’s his best friend and sick of getting set up on blind dates with every self-absorbed hedgefund manager in New York. When Larry’s dating disaster goes viral globally, he turns to Marian, his most reliable partner in crime, for a little help. Pretending to be the perfect couple sounds simple enough… until late-night texts, accidental kisses and social media fans start making them question if “fake” might just be the most real thing they’ve ever felt.

Summary
Once an idea was formed in Bertha's mind, little could she or anyone do to make it go away. So it was really unfortunate that her sister decided to make Bertha question her life's choices on her own birthday no less. She was Bertha O'Brien, handsome, clever and rich. Insanely rich. Her company's worth was around 740 million and it was the largest and most successful matchmaking business on the east coast, second in America. Most important of all, Gilded X gave her satisfaction like nothing else; she was yet to find something that could give her such a fulfilling sensation as a match well done.
Inspired by Jane Austen's Emma.

Summary
Larry looks as surprised as if she had slapped him. “I didn’t realize…”
“Realize what, exactly? That you left your mother alone, without any of her children or her husband, and have not so much as returned for a meal in weeks?”
George steps forward, his jaw tightening and his eyes snapping dangerously.
“You overstep, Mrs. Van Rhijn. You are not aware of the details of our family’s troubles.”
“No? Then you do not resent your wife for arranging your daughter’s marriage despite Her Grace’s reservations, and your resistance?”
Another stunned silence greets her; George stares at her.
“I am not as detached from the gossip mill as people believe.”
“Well…be that as it may…”
Or
George and Larry's treatment of Bertha has unexpected consequences, and Agnes decides that she's had Enough.

Summary
George and Bertha Russell cannot get divorced.
When his parents drop the massive bomb that they’re splitting up, Larry Russell uproots his life in Boston to move back to New York, because he’s determined to get them to see they belong together. And his plan is foolproof – all he needs is a woman willing to play the part of his fiancée, so his parents will have no choice but to see each other for all kinds of wedding related activities.
Marian Brook had no intention of agreeing to fake marry Larry Russell – at least, not until she runs into her ex boyfriend at her absolute lowest, and blurts out she’s engaged. Now they’re tangled up in each other’s lives, trying to get his parents back together, and convince her ex she’s happy and moved on.
If the lines between real and fake get a bit blurry, it really isn’t their fault, is it?
Larian Modern AU. George/Bertha, Gladys/Hector on the side.

Summary
One way or another they always found one another. When they did, there was relief and a sense of "Hello again!" but this time it seemed to take them awhile to come back not since the last life they were together ended horribly.
It was odd to remember a life that felt like a dull heartbreak now. Aurora knew that she would not have thought about it again.
It seemed the universe wanted to put them back together again. Even if they could not remember everything, for now.
Aurora Hamilton had once been born into the life of a socialite, now was reborn in the life of a Broadway starlet. George Russell once born to be one of the country's robber barons, now found himself in the life of a Broadway star. One that they both took serious and in strides.

Summary
“Even if Caligula offered his generals an explanation on his war on the sea—” Agnes poisonously eyed the society papers which defamed her niece's good standing and reputation, the latest installment of what was being circulated, and now which she considered as prohibited contraband, before crumpling up in her fist and tossing it straight into the fire where it belonged, “—it still wouldn’t make things right.”
In which Andre’s leaks caused more damage as Marian did not learn of the news that Larry went to the Haymarket on the night of their engagement from John.
She—like the rest of New York—found out from the morning gossip column and it makes all the difference in everyone's lives.
Updates will resume after midterms exam

Summary
Cecilie Russell was meant to be tucked away in a sanatorium, far from society’s eyes, not sitting at the campfire of outlaws who live like ghosts in the hills. They don’t know the world she comes from — a world of fortunes, family names, and ruin that can be brought about with a single whisper.
But Dutch van der Linde thinks he’s discovered a new leading lady in 'Miss Celia Brook', a refined whore who laughs at his stories and looks at him like she believes. And Arthur Morgan? He doesn’t believe a word of it. He watches her like he’s waiting for the mask to slip and when it does... It's all or nothing.
She knows what’s at stake. She knows what her family will do if they find out where she has been taken. The Van der Linde gang might think they’ve stolen her into their story, but they’ve no idea what kind of story they’ve written themselves into.
