    Summary

    "Others? Which others?" Daan asks, suddenly very interested in the topic of conversation.

    "Oh, now you want to know!" Abella exclaims, very amused at this turn of events.

    Daan looks at her. "I would find it enlightening."

    [A collection of times the other contestants noticed that Daan is a little bit queer.]

    Summary

    Two immortal hedonists: One as true to himself as one could be, and the other in the depths of brainwashing and grooming, destroying every single person who got too close to him.
    The Picture of Dorian Gray wasn’t published yet, and yet, here was an incredibly beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed man claiming to be named Dorian Gray in front of Jack. Really, he should be a lot more cautious about this, or maybe do something professional about it. But also, Jack really wants to see where this goes.
    Fuck Dorian Gray, ask questions later.

     

    Because that won't have any repercussions at all.

    Summary

    "Left is right, right is wrong." In 1984 London, freedom is found behind a peephole and a secret code on a nameless door in Soho. In that clandestine gloom, the air is thick with tobacco smoke and the chemical scent of poppers—a sanctuary where no one asks questions because the answers could land you in jail.

    Remus only seeks the quiet of a pint and the comfort of staying unnoticed, but James is determined to set the night on fire. And then he sees him: a stranger with dark curls moving on the dance floor with a looseness that borders on the indecent, losing himself in the rhythm of Sultans of Swing as if it were his only oxygen.

    While the threat of a police raid hangs in the air, Remus discovers that some encounters are a one-way trip. A story of desire, forbidden codes, and the taste of freedom in a decade that refuses to accept them.

    Summary

    Podfic of "it's the light (it's the obstacle that casts it)" by Handful_of_Silence

    Author's original summary:

     

    It's like having a curtain pulled back on something he wasn't expecting to see. A surprise punch-and-judy at an up-scale restaurant, a lobster thermidor when he's ordered an ale.

     

    Crowley's gleefully trying to wrap his head around the fact that Aziraphale is speaking Polari. Because of course he is.

     

    Or: The Patron Saint of London's LGBT Community is real, and he lives in Soho.

    Summary

    Ever since Oliver had given Louis "permission" to write in the gallery, Harry's mornings had been a slow descent into caffeinated psychological warfare, Louis called him Gallery Boy like a slur as if Harry was just a pretty face who dressed well and sold overpriced nonsense to rich twats who didn't know the difference between art and a coffee stain, Harry called him Author equally dismissive like Louis was some overhyped novelist who hadn't finished a book in years but still talked like the tortured sarcastic soul of Bloomsbury

    They didn't care enough to call themselves enemies, they were... opposites, colliding by accident, then stubbornly refusing to move

    "You ever hear the full history of Polari?" Louis murmured, voice warm in Harry's ear. "Properly, I mean?"

    Harry shook his head not because he didn't know, he just couldn't trust his voice

    "They'd say things like ogles for eyes. Zhoosh for style. Bona for good." His tone dropped a bit. "Ferricadoozad for broken."

    "I know what it means," Harry rasped

    "Do you?" Louis asked, all breath and amusement and intent "because you wear it well. All that polish and precision like you've spent your whole life making sure no one looks too close"

    Summary

    Paul arrived at the agency in the early afternoon. He was a tall man, and wore a navy blue button down with a shiny collarless jacket overtop. Sporting tight black jeans and brown Chelsea boots, he walked with an effortless flamboyance that reminded Charles of Edwin, in a way.

    His dark hair was neatly swept back and cut bluntly at the nape of his neck. Based on the cheery smile on Paul’s face, Charles was prepared for a relatively straightforward case. That was until he opened his mouth, and it seemed like they were going to have bigger issues.

    ________

    Or, A new client arrives at the agency, but he only speaks polari. Fortunately, Edwin understands. Charles makes some discoveries.

    Summary

    The Shelbys are in a bad situation, made worse by the three breadwinners volunteering for the war. What will Polly and the kids do for money? Arthur, furious that his younger brothers lied about their ages to join up, is desperately trying to gather as much money as he can before they all leave. An offer comes to Arthur that is too good to pass up, but it means selling his overly eager little brother to some big American for one night - well it was supposed to only be one night.

    Note: Rape/non-con warning but it doesn't really come up until much later in the story and is comparatively mild.

    Summary

    “Who’s the kid?” someone spoke up, and when Harry looked for the owner of the voice he knew so well, he felt like his jackrabbiting heart almost completely stopped.

    The man was… beautiful. Harry had never really thought that about a man, because that was a bit of a queer thought, but Harry felt like this was objective. He was beautiful in the way a stained glass window in a church was, or a meticulous oil painting in a museum. Undeniably so.

    “The kid, Tommo, is Harry Styles. And he’s our new runner,” Nick announced, patting Harry’s chest.

    or the one where harry comes to work on a pirate radio ship in 1966 and gets a lot more experience than he bargained for

      Bookmark Notes:

      12/10. Fascinating and incredibly well-researched post WWIi queer subculture setting. Actually dangerous to be gay at the time, so a whole secret language and underground community evolved. Very compelling story of two couples who try to discreetly form a nontraditional family household and live their lives being as true to themselves as they can. Angst is mostly from outside forces and (fairly reasonable) worries about getting caught. Smut is mostly suggestive. Ends hopefully.

    Summary

    Bertie is dallying with a chorus girl. Jeeves is not happy. In fact, he's jealous. Who knew that such an involvement would lead to so many complications? Who knew that Jeeves had a secret reason for being unavailable?
    Who knew Oofy Prosser could be persuaded to produce a West End musical? And why does Bertie always have to be Ginger Rogers?

    This story turned out to be almost a musical...any chapter that references songs has the accompanying song video in it! Massive happy Jooster smut.

    Summary

    Never mind continuity errors and plotholes, how exactly does a batshit Lycanthrope survive for the best part of four decades? Maybe by not being all that batshit. You might think that’s good news for Hermione Granger, and you’d be wrong…

    Summary

    It's time for the annual harvest fair, and this year Lady Felicia intends to make it the most lucrative church fundraiser St. Mary's has ever seen. Determined to draw in crowds by staging scenes from a new play about Robin Hood, she enlists Father Brown, Sid, Sullivan, and a very reluctant Mrs. McCarthy to help make the event a smash hit. But this is Kembleford, so naturally the costumes and the repartee are the only things that don't go completely off the rails. Can the presbytery crew overcome high emotions, a playwright with her own plans, and a missing leading lady to turn this disasterpiece into a masterpiece and make a packet for the parish without outing Sid and Sullivan along the way?
