Summary
In the sunlit garden of her sister’s home, Lord Potter had promised Lily a life of her own design, with minimal expectations—her presence at community events, companionship, and an heir. As the two stumble into the routine of marriage and work to make a life together at Stinchcombe Hall, unsolicited feelings provoke each to start wondering if this is merely a marriage…or if it could be something more.

Summary
Arthur is a world class violinist, trapped in Sydney, Australia, by his fear of flying. In the wake of a mediocre concert, vicious critics and with barely a month to go before his next (hopefully reputation-saving) recital, Arthur is almost at breaking point. When his accompanist, Morgana, breaks her wrist in a car accident, Arthur is more or less doomed. And the story begins, when the Maestro at the conservatoire, Gaius Stresemann, recommends his protege Merlin Emrys to step in. Merlin, who plays by ear, as he pleases and really just wants to be a kindergarten teacher.
Well. The story really starts six months previously when Arthur passes out drunk outside Merlin's shoe-box apartment.

Summary
"Look, the whole of London's cracking up," she told him. "I'm finding it hard enough to work as it is without my commute being screwed up by the buses going on strike, and half my books turning into birds. That angel is wrecking everything, but in particular, my life - and you're too busy hating yourself to open your eyes and deal with it. I'm telling you, it has to stop."
"Is that all still happening?" Crowley said vaguely. "But I found him."
"Oh my God, you can tell you don't commute," Anathema said. "The buses went on strike, Mr. Crowley."
"That's perfectly normal for London. You'll learn."
"You're not listening! Not the drivers, the buses. They're organising - meeting in secret, holding little candlelight vigils. Nobody else really knows what's going on - everyone's just assuming it's, like, general TfL incompetence or something - but it's only a matter of time. So what are you going to do about it?"
"Er... have they submitted a list of their demands?" Crowley said helplessly.

Summary
Anthony J. Crowley's life seems like it's finally falling into place: his floral shop has begun to gain an undercurrent of appreciation in the design elite of London, and he might have even finally found a boyfriend who looks just right lounging on his Tenreiro sofa. Things seem almost perfect, until one day the empty shop across the street is leased to frumpy fellow Oxford alumni, who doesn't seem to remember Crowley nearly as well as he remembers him, which really shouldn't bother him as much as it does - it was ten years ago after all, and it wasn't even that good of a kiss.

Summary
“Emma, this sounds like it was written by a psychopath.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said airily. “I make myself very clear. I’m a beautiful, intelligent, affluent young professional living in nearly-central London. I won’t tolerate dirtiness, vaping or McDonald’s any more than once a month, and they need to be able to accept that.”
“Firstly,” said George, “you’re not writing a lonely hearts ad. This is Spare Room.”Modern AU. Emma Wu moves to London to make friends and influence people. It turns out to be harder than she thought, but at least she isn't alone. She talks to her best friend George Ngai practically every day—and neither of them ever run out of things to say.

Summary
It is close to Christmas, isn’t it. The 22nd? No, that was yesterday. Or…how many hours was he on that first plane? Felt like about an entire day in itself. And then with the layover, which Eames slept through most of. If he left Buenos Aires on the evening of the 23rd, and then with the delay in Atlanta—
And then the door swings open, and Arthur is standing there in a knitted jumper so repulsively festive it makes Eames question his lucidity, looking dour and suspicious and oh, god, it really is Christmas Eve, isn’t it? And Eames is so, so happy to see his angry face. He grins so hard it makes his cheeks hurt.
“Eames?” Arthur says, voice low, like he doesn’t want anyone to overhear him. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

Summary
In the words of my Beta, "time travel action rom com? I'm going with that."
Excerpt:
John shouted at the loud crack that split the air, and Julia dashed from the kitchen, wiping her hands hastily on her apron. They were both terribly unprepared for the arrival of a small boy inadequately dressed and unable to speak a word of English. He babbled, nearly incoherent, and began to cry.
John squared his shoulders, switched off the radio, and looked to his wife. For while they had been completely unprepared, had no clothes or toys or even a spare bed for the boy to sleep on, there was no one else who could have possibly been more prepared to help him.
“Langsam, mein lieber.” Julia said, slowly, hesitantly, not entirely sure that he would understand her.
But the boy paused and then said much more slowly in German that Julia was only loosely able to follow, “Where am I?”
And Julia’s heart broke just a little bit more for him. She knelt down and took his hands in hers and spoke slowly and simply so that he might be able to piece the meaning from her strange language, “Mein lieber, you are far from home.”Bookmarked by Owaya1

Summary
Lt. Kirk has been given a simple mission that will help repair his demoted career: to clear a small suspected rebel colony base. But his team fails him and Kirk must rely on his own daring and some unexpected help to save himself. In addition to the colony war, relations between Vulcan and Earth are breaking down to a dangerous level. From his small command, Kirk must deal with crew biases, questionable orders, and worrisome unofficial messages that put his new love for Spock under strain. Kirk in true Kirkian style has to pull everyone together and try and repair a broken Federation. Spock must face his family's past, the rebels within Vulcan, and his father's extreme dislike of his close relationship with Kirk.
Set in a universe that is as close to the TOS universe as I could make it and still pull off my story. I wanted to write a younger Kirk trying to command and be a hero under much worse circumstances and pair him with a younger, more sheltered Spock.
This story is an attempt at an action/adventure space version of Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey-Maturin (AKA Master and Commander) Series but still remains a love story at its heart in typical kirk/spock fashion.

Summary
Arthur is an investment banker. He is professional and efficient. He's a halfway decent cook. He's totally independent and has been since the age of eighteen. Maybe he's tired all the time because he works about ninety hours a week which is twice what normal people do, but he's rich and he's competent at his job. He's almost thirty, and already a success.
And there are some things Arthur is not. For instance: Arthur is not gay.

Summary
Oikawa and Iwaizumi, like any other virile young straight men their age, enjoy having sex together. With the same women, as in. Or something to that effect.
-or-
"Iwaizumi looked for buried irritation within him, and found nothing. 'No. Not really, no. It’s not a big deal, if you’re sharing sexual partners.'
Matsukawa began spluttering violently, waving his hands around vigorously. 'You’re- you’re sharing what-'"

Summary
James Tiberius Kirk - friend, brother, lover - has one great and glorious ambition: to captain a starship. It is the defining passion of his life for which he has sacrificed every relationship he once held dear.
S'chn T'gai Spock left his life behind on Vulcan to join Starfleet, against the wishes of his family. Ostracised by his people, he has forged his path amongst alien strangers, unfamiliar with and resentful of his cool, logical ways.
When the USS Enterprise loses her Captain, they are thrown together as Starfleet's newest command team. These very different men begin a relationship that will define their lives, shape their destinies, and reveal the lengths that each will go to for friendship. And for love.
A novel-length retelling of original Star Trek canon through the lens of one of the greatest relationships ever committed to film. Using missing scenes, episode tags, and original story-telling. Ultimately a Generations fix-it.

Summary
It isn’t until high school that the specialists give Tooru an official diagnosis. The biomagnetic field around his heart is too strong, far stronger than should be humanly possible, and that’s why it feels like an electric shock when you touch him. If you get within ten feet of Tooru, you can feel all his emotions, stark and obvious as if his ribcage is wide open, exposing his heart.
“You should have known, Iwa-chan,” Tooru says, lying on his back in the middle of Hajime’s bed, tossing a pillow in the air and catching it. “Everyone can see how magnetic I am. It’s all in my charm. You wouldn’t know about that.”
“This is a medical problem, assface,” says Hajime. “It means something’s wrong with you.”
or: even though hajime can sense tooru's emotions just by standing next to him, it still takes them a few years to figure things out.
