When the poet met the knight he couldn't just cease to be the prince and heir as much as she couldn't just cease to be a highborn lady; but at least they could be true to themselves together, if only for a brief moment.

Summary
Fate, men insist, is inexorable. So much followed the gift of a crown of blue roses. So many died. There was so much heartache, so much blood and so many tears that together they would have made a great river, yet, in time, the eddies smoothed, new rivers joined, and the tears went down to the great wide unknowable sea, and people forgot how it ever began.
From it's first days to its last days, from the tournament to the battlefield, the story of the fall of House Targaryen. But if you think this story has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention…

Summary
When he dreamt, he dreamed of a wave, a giant crash of earth and water and sky, falling together, tumbling over one another. Down and up and over. Like a dance, moving around him. Not softly or deftly. Taking up all his entire eye, crashing and turning and plunging and rolling.
When he opened his eyes he remembered it in the shape of a woman.

happiness (this time round) by Dorkangel

Summary
The first time they were grown-ups, in the Golden Age, the Pevensies lived their lives almost entirely for Aslan - and then when they were thrown back to England, they lost years trying to recover their childhoods, going back to fight his wars for him.
The second time, they don't let him in.
*
"And where are the kings and queens of the Golden Age? The Pevensies?"
If a lion's expression - already thunderous, if only by the wild edge behind his eyes and the deadly jaws that glint as he speaks - could darken, it would. It's a strikingly obvious cold spot in the paradise of warmth that he has torn down a whole world to create.
"They are no longer friends of Narnia. They think of only nylons and lipsticks and invitations, these days."

Summary
She is born from fire. Strange, isn’t it, that a creature of ice needs a fiery soul, but the creation of familiars has always been a right of passage and trial by fire for the jotunn. Loki has always been a little unsure of the process, because he is no more jotnar than he is aesir, and the frost giants hide their secrets well.
Or, Loki meets his daemon. She is not what he expects.

Summary
Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.
She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.
She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.
She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-
She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.

Summary
One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

Politics and Profanity by CynicInAFishbowl

Summary
A modern AU wherein Darcy has recently been elected to the House of Commons, Elizabeth is in the civil service, and unsusprisingly, there is conflict.
Slight whiffs of both 'The Thick Of It' and 'Yes Minister'; and an eventual 'Darcy exiting the lake in a wet white shirt' scene, because let's be honest, that's all anyone is in this for.Additional story and relationship tags as the story progresses. Rating due to a base level of swearing which could only be described as 'Australian'. Also because there might be some lemons later on.
Not on hiatus, I'm just really bad at updating.
