    Summary

    “Your soul sings my songs, Seraphina,” He says. His hand, slender and cold, snakes up the column of her throat and settles.

    “And your blood…” Seraphina begins, her breath faltering beneath this grip. “Whispers my name, Riddle”

    Seraphina Potter. The chosen one. The saviour. She was destined to end a tyrant’s reign. The key to his destruction. However, fate had other plans. She makes a choice. A choice that changes everything. She disappears.

    Seven years later, the Wizarding Isles of Great Britain have changed under the regime. Rebellion stirs within the pits.

    It is then that Lord Voldemort discovers a secret that has been hidden from him. A dark, depraved secret. Seraphina Potter is his Horcrux. A piece he didn’t know was missing. So, now, he wants her back at his side. Where she belongs.

    Forced into a marriage with the murderer of her parents, and the man who has haunted her dreams since she can remember, Seraphina has to confront the life she left behind. And the people.

    Once his demise, now his lifeline.

    Summary

    It was Xue Shu’s desire to get rid of a perceived rival that led her to her current predicament. Sitting in the bridal chambers of the Xie manor, with a coronet that was digging into her forehead (her mother had insisted on lavishness to shush any whispers that this wedding might have occurred because of improprieties), waiting for Xie Wei.

    Waiting for Xie Wei to do what, she does not know. Consummate the marriage, she suppose. Not that he showed any carnal interest in her in their previous life. Not even when she all but offered herself on a platter.

    Summary

    Castiel's ultra religious family pushed him into hiding the fact that he was gay from their circle of acquaintances. This was, unfortunately, not enough for them. They continually threw women at him, in an attempt to force him into being straight. Castiel stifled each attempt.

    To this end, they introduced him to the daughter of a new church member, Deanna. However, Deanna immediately informed Castiel that he was, in fact, a closeted trans man and preferred to be called Dean. They became fast friends, bonded by the similarity of their circumstances, much to the delight of their families.

    Unwilling to out Dean they decided to play along with the idea that they were dating.

    CW: lots of deadnaming and using the wrong pronouns.

    Summary

    The Ministry’s Family Protection Act isn’t just policy—it’s a weapon, cloaked in tradition, tightening its grip on the magical world. For Hermione Granger, the pressure to marry and bear children is suffocating, but the whispers of something darker are what truly terrify her. The war was meant to bring freedom, yet the autonomy she fought for is slipping away. She won’t wait for the inevitable. Instead, she escapes.

    With Hermione already fleeing and even Percy—rule-abiding Percy—urging her to go, George can’t ignore the signs. The Ministry’s reach is growing, and when incentives fail, enforcement will follow. Expanding Wheezes abroad—once a dream—is now his only chance at control over his own future. But leaving means severing ties, abandoning home, and walking away from the last pieces of Fred that tether him to England.

    Yet escape isn’t the same as freedom. The Ministry’s shadow looms, and as the world tightens its grip, Hermione and George must carve their own path—one built not on fear, but on quiet, unwavering defiance.

    Summary

    “…so, no, Ben Solo, unless you want to marry me, there’s nothing—NOTHING—you can do to help my situation!” Rey screamed from the top of her lungs.

    She turned roughly away when she felt a stray tear roll down her cheek. God damn it. It was so mortifying. Of all the people in San Francisco she could break down in front of, it had to be Ben-fucking-Solo. She took a few steps backwards, intending to spin around and run away before she could embarrass herself any further, but a large hand wrapped around her wrist before she could.

    “Wait.” He didn’t say any more for a second. He only looked at her, his eyebrows drawing minutely together, as if he was puzzling through a stubborn bug, an impossible problem.

    Then, just as Rey was about to shake his hand loose, she heard him ask, “Do you want to?”

    UK borne Rey Unkar thought she finally found a home in Silicon Valley: she has close friends that love her, a great career at Resistance Labs, a vacation to Puerto Rico in the plans, and even an online friend who she can nerd out with on all things C++. Then, her H-1B extension gets denied and she has 10 days before she is required to leave the U.S.

    Summary

    Alice’s eyebrows furrowed together in confusion. “But that’s just- Oh.” Realisation dawned on her. “You haven’t…”

    “Would you like me to show you?” Narcissa laughed, turning to look Alice in the face. But then she noticed.

    Alice wasn’t laughing.

    Akechi Goro’s life ended the day his father sold him off to a powerful politician, Hitomi Takeshi, at 15 years old. What follows are another fifteen years brimmed with ill-treatment and misery, until Goro was left as nothing more than an empty, hollow shell watching his own existence burn into ash.

One day, however, he stumbles upon a run-down café — and within its tattered, timeworn walls, he meets a dark and mysterious young man. Before long, Goro finds himself spending more and more time behind the café’s bar, drawn deeper each day into a world he never expected to find comfort in, amid an otherwise unkind life.

    Summary

    Like the downfall of many civilizations, traitors within the royal inner circles poison the minds of kings and queens. Castrum Kremnos was no exception. It has steadily declined over the years. King Eurypon's madness has pushed the kingdom to the brink of collapse, and the ongoing armed conflict with the Ohkeman Kingdom was accelerating their destruction.

    In desperation, the mighty kingdom called for an armistice—not merely a ceasefire, but a resolution to end the conflict altogether. They proposed an alliance between their kingdoms. News of this spread throughout Amphoreus overnight. Two of the strongest kingdoms were forming an alliance that would significantly alter the course of history. An agreement of blood needed to be established between the two kingdoms. Castrum Kremnos was required to offer up a bride from their royal family to be married to another royal family member in Ohkema.

    Phainon, a collateral member of the royal family adopted from the fallen Aedes Elysiae territory, was tasked with selecting the bride. His choice shocked the entire world: he chose not from the offered brides but instead pointed to Mydeimos, the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos.

    Summary

    Jackie Taylor has always lived by the rules. Her life is measured in appearances and expectations. But when her parents invoke the final condition of her inheritance — marriage before thirty — she finds herself cornered.

    Lottie Matthews calls it a Boston marriage. Jackie calls it impossible. And Natalie Scatorccio — sharp, and defiant — calls it a joke. Yet appearances are everything, and survival has a way of making strange partnerships necessary.

    What begins as an arrangement soon feels less like control and more like a test of it — and Jackie isn’t sure whether she’s negotiating her future, or surrendering it.

    Or

    Jackie Taylor needs a wife before thirty; Natalie Scatorccio needs freedom most of all. But appearances can bind tighter than vows.
