Fairy Tales of the Gilded City by Das Märchen der Märchen (cotdanc)
Fandoms: Fairy Tales & Related Fandoms, Original Work, Dutch Fairy Tales for Young Folks - William Elliot Griffis, The Age of Innocence - Edith Wharton
05 May 2026

Summary
New York—the gilded city at the end of the Hudson—still behaves like the Dutch colony it once was: orderly, hierarchical, and quietly ruthless.
Old families rule without appearing to, from their palaces on Fifth Avenue; new money claws for place; bankers calculate outcomes from Wall Street; and beneath it all, the invisible class keep the illusion running—from the tenements of the Lower East Side to the sinks of the Bowery and the shantytowns of East Harlem.
A Gilded Age—if one can afford it. The American Dream: that most enduring fairy tale.
“Beautiful credit! The foundation of modern society. Who shall say that this is not the golden age of mutual trust, of unlimited reliance upon human promises?”
— The Gilded Age, A Tale of To-day, Chapter 26 (1873) by Mark Twain & Charles Dudley Warner

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
Lydia Bennet n’est pas l’héroïne frivole que tout le monde croit connaître.
Revenue d’épreuves qu’elle ne peut pas nommer, elle tente simplement de tenir debout, de comprendre ce qui lui est arrivé, et de protéger ceux qu’elle aime d’une vérité qu’elle ne maîtrise pas encore elle-même.
Dans une Angleterre rigoureusement restituée, Personne ne doit savoir suit le parcours d’une jeune femme brisée mais tenace, prise entre les attentes sociales, les défaillances familiales, et une mémoire qui se dérobe.
C’est l’histoire d’une reconstruction lente et douloureuse, de fidélités discrètes, de justice silencieuse — et du courage nécessaire pour se réapproprier sa propre vie.
*****************************************
After the scandal that should have ruined her forever, Lydia Bennet disappears from society—only to return years later, changed, silent, and carrying a truth no one must discover.
Set in a richly researched Regency world, No One Must Know follows Lydia’s fight for survival, identity, and redemption, as the Bennet family faces the consequences of lies, loyalty, and the unforgiving judgment of the ton.
A story of secrets, trauma, and courage—where the past refuses to stay buried. -

Main pairing: Poland x Hungary.
Summary: Nhà Héderváry có một truyền thống từ hàng trăm năm. Đấy là, con gái của nhà Héderváry thường sẽ tháo chiếc bông tai màu xanh lá cây của mình tặng cho người đàn ông mà cô ấy đã trao trọn con tim, cho dù cô ấy có cưới được người đàn ông ấy hay không. Hiện tượng này diễn ra vô cùng thất thường. Đôi lúc chiếc bông tai ấy được trao cho chồng họ. Đôi lúc nó được trao cho một ai đó khác không phải chồng họ. Đôi lúc nó nằm trên đôi tai họ vĩnh viễn.
Elisabeth Edelstein, mặc dù rất yêu kính chồng mình, nhưng lại chưa bao giờ có ý nghĩ trao chiếc bông tai của mình cho người đó. Bởi vì, cô đã bị trục xuất khỏi gia đình Héderváry. Mà đã bị trục xuất, thì truyền thống ấy với cô không còn có ý nghĩa gì nữa.
Hoặc không.Warning: có yếu tố ngoại tình, tam quan lệch lạc. Tin tôi, tôi không thích quả bùng binh tay sáu này dù tôi là người viết ra nó. Cân nhắc trước khi đọc.

Summary
Alastor knew where his place in the world was: exactly where he had strived to be and had found himself quite comfortably settling in. A welcome guest to every home in New Orleans and a quickly expanding audience of homes beyond. There were some things in this life you just couldn’t change. But he was working on that.
Until then, of course, he knew where he was meant to be. His proper place.
Some people were not so lucky. Not so bright.
Vincent for example, with his too broad suit and unpolished shoes, did not belong. Did not belong in Alastor’s office—
—did not belong in the bar where he allowed himself to unwind
—did not belong in the alley behind it
—did not belong in the swamp on the night all his hard work finally paid off.In the late 1930’s, young aspiring media mogul Vincent Whitman travels to New Orleans to build a bridge between the local radio station and his company's soon-to-open television station.
A few short months to shmooze the “King of the Airwaves”, poach a bit of talent, and get everything up and running, then he’s back on his way to the East Coast to continue his climb.
Simple— right? -
