Summary
Tremaine had been living in Cineth for more than a month now, and so far, none of her more pessimistic predictions had come to pass. She hadn’t gotten anyone killed, not even Cletia; she hadn’t added Ilias to her previously dismal record of broken relationships; and she hadn’t been homesick for Vienne at all.

The Vampires of Northanger by Sunfreckle
Fandoms: Northanger Abbey - Jane Austen, AUSTEN Jane - Works
08 May 2023

Summary
Catherine Morland was excessively dissapointed upon learning that the Tilneys were to leave bath so soon. Surely the general, who so very often appeared pale and sickly, would benefit from taking the waters a little longer? But what absolute joy to find herself immediately invited to join the family at Northanger Abbey! That the Tilneys kept very odd hours and served rather unusual dinners did not signify, Eleanor and Henry Tilney were the most charming friends in the world. And as for their father and brother, surely she would get used to the unease she invariably felt in their presence...

Summary
Tom Bertram meets Fanny Price in Portsmouth and is shocked by the state of poverty and neglect in which the delicate young lady lives. So he makes the rash decision to marry her and bring her back to Mansfield with him as his wife.
After all, what good is having a clergyman for a brother if you can't get married when you want to?
But Tom never stopped to wonder if Fanny would be welcomed in her new home, or if he'd be responsible enough to look after her (he's not).
And when Tom suddenly falls gravely ill, Mary Crawford (who isn't even betrothed to Edmund yet) begins planning her future as Mistress of Mansfield, unthinkingly displacing Fanny, who she considers all but a widow already.
It's most certainly not the fairy-tale ending Fanny or Tom envisioned for themselves.
With the looming fear of an uncertain future for his wife, Tom realises he needs to put away childish things for good and become a man worthy of inheriting Mansfield at long last.

Cracks and Sparks and a Stop-Start Heart by whenthewallfell
Fandoms: Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins, Hunger Games Series - All Media Types

Summary
It's not the same as before.
He can sort of remember it now, a childish fantasy borne of a broken home and a desperate loneliness, but there's no emotion attached to it beyond a vague sort of pity.
It's a bit like reading a report:
Peeta Mellark, 74th Victor of The Hunger Games, in love with Katniss Everdeen since he was five. Unrequited.

Summary
There are people who believe that romantic connections are the province of fate and destiny, the result of an alignment of constellations and conditions that bring two people together. Others tend to discuss falling in love as the product of rational decisions that acknowledge attraction and compatibility. Some people, however, seem to think these two seemingly-opposite perspectives are really just two sides of the same coin. Sometimes, after all, destiny just requires that two people make a single choice.
A modern/AU Pride & Prejudice.

Summary
Thomas and Martha Wayne are Gotham's most famous martyrs. They used to be a wife and a husband, a mother and a father, doting parents. They could also be cunning, wicked, glamorous, decadent; an heir and a gold-digger, beautiful people in a beautiful house. It takes a certain kind of parents to make a man like Bruce Wayne, and Alfred can't take all the blame. He can't even take most of it.
