Summary
1884. Darcy, proud, French, and with outdated ideas, meets an elegant young lady on a bridge. The lady is English, alone, unchaperoned (oh the horror), and seems to have one of those insufferable so-called "independent spirit" you now find in those modern women--come on, you know the sort.
She also has the most fascinating eyes.
Three days later, Darcy meets the exasperating young woman again during a delightful Parisian soirée...

Summary
When Voldemort wins and decides it would be amusing to turn defeated Order girls into Death Eater brides, Draco, Theo and Blaise take the wedding vows and escape with their respective brides. Hermoine, Luna, and Ginny are slow to trust this is a true escape from horror, but as they fall in love with their husbands, as they free Draco from the Mark, and as they escape to France, it becomes more and more clear that Voldemort is watching the whole time. Toying with them.
Sometimes, a person makes terrible choices to protect the people they love.
And Hermione is going to have to make a choice like that.

Summary
2021.
Notting Hill, London, U.K.
Stede had a mid-life crisis and gay awakening simultaneously, which resulted in an amicable separation from his wife, a not-so-amicable separation from his father, a complete wardrobe overhaul, and the purchase of a bookshop.
This left him more content with life than he had ever been, but also made him crave someone to share it with. He’d never craved anything before.
Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.
Ed Teach shot to higher levels of fame than he’d ever imagined he would. He truly loved acting, but it became a chore when suddenly the whole world knew his face and he couldn’t ever let the mask slip, even when the cameras weren’t rolling. He missed home, he was tired, and he was just so bored.
He needed something to change before he lost his mind.

Summary
Stede, a history professor specializing in the golden age of piracy, is fascinated when art professor Edward Teach joins his humble university’s faculty. Even more fascinating are the rumors that Ed is actually the famous, anonymous artist, Blackbeard. Stede falls a little bit in love. Then a lot.
Across the academic year, Stede tips headfirst into dizzying romance, mind-blowing sex, and happiness he couldn't have dreamed up if he'd tried. He learns lessons he never knew he needed, forcing him to reevaluate everything from his career goals to his relationships with his children. Ed is at the center of it all, teaching Stede at every turn exactly how wonderful life can be—and the startling speed with which fear and hesitation could snatch away his newfound love.
Eventually, the only thing that matters for them both is learning enough about love to stop it from slipping through their fingers.

Summary
When Prince Stede Bonnet saw his betrothed for the first time, he very nearly blushed.
Edward Teach was a fearsome thing: pirate turned warlord, scourge of the continent. He wore black armor and bristled with weapons, including his famous sword, the Queen’s Revenge. The notorious beard which had earned him his nickname was gray now, but still full and menacing. They were almost of a height, but Stede felt dreadfully small in his presence.
Blackbeard had taken one look at Stede and grunted his approval. And Stede had almost blushed.

Summary
Underground, it is common knowledge that anyone wishing to marry the Goblin King must be victorious in a challenge set by the Labyrinth itself.
No one expected the Labyrinth to choose its young human Champion as the challenge to be bested.
As for Sarah, she’s becoming increasingly concerned by how much she enjoys defeating Jareth’s would-be-spouses with a wide range of boardgames.
It should also be noted that Sarah is an unrepentant cheat.
So is Jareth.

Summary
Words have power. Woven to beguile and to ensnare - like twisted branches of a tree with roots gone deep. They lie in shadow, filled with purpose and intent. Filled with Old magic. Sarah really should have known better. Norse gods, ancient rituals, the chase… He is through waiting. It all began with a book; it is only fitting that it should end with one.
Enter the Tanglewood...

Summary
Edward is pushed unceremoniously into a small, dark room and lands on his knees, then his hands. He stares down at the floorboards and the door falls shut behind him with a heavy thud.
"Oh, hell," says a familiar voice like a gut punch. "I was really hoping for a nicer reunion than this."
