    Summary

    “Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
    Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
    “Tax fraud.”
    She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
    Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
    She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.
    "That's how we'll take down Cazador."

    Summary

    Following her father's death, Sarah returns to Paris, where she is hired by the Opera Populaire's resident nurse. She wants nothing better than to lead a quiet, peaceful life, but finds herself drawing unwanted attention from some of the stagehands. When she is stalked through the opera house one night, she stumbles into a secret passageway and upon certain hidden truths of her new workplace--mostly embodied by a man who calls himself ghost.

    To her surprise, the Phantom of the Opera is much unlike what his reputation makes him out to be. And to his surprise, the new infirmière seems to have no fear for him at all.

    What begins as a chance encounter unexpectedly develops into something more, and Sarah finds herself unwittingly caught in a series of events that she can no longer back out of. Meanwhile, constantly caught off guard by the strange woman's behavior, Erik starts to question everything he has known and believed about himself.

    Heavily Gerik-inspired infused with ALW elements.

    Summary

    “In my humble opinion there’s only three things that men should be and that is bloody, slutty, and pathetic.” And, on a good day, Draco Malfoy can be all three.

    When war heroine Hermione Granger and Azkaban-tattooed war criminal Draco Malfoy are forced to wed as part of Shacklebolt’s controversial Reconciliation Act, they openly fight the match and each other—their public brawls breathlessly reported by the press.

    Secretly, a deeply traumatized Draco delights in Hermione’s attention and pines for a real marriage with her—even as her forced proximity to the Black family magic irritates the cursed scar Bellatrix left on her arm, reminding her why she can never truly trust or forgive him. Then Hermione discovers that Draco’s blood will soothe the scar . . . and Draco is willing to trade his blood for her body.

    (With post-war blood purity politics, black market potioneers, Pansy Parkinson’s career advice, the Malfoys blackmailing Hermione’s Wizengamot opposition, BDE Neville Longbottom hunting Death Eaters, a slutty Theo Nott serving as Draco’s right-hand man, and Crookshanks loose in Malfoy Manor.)

    Summary

    Bucky Barnes didn’t expect Thursday to begin with a pretty astrophysicist named Dr. Darcy Lewis demanding he meet her in a DC coffee shop to discuss a possible alien invasion. Darcy Lewis didn’t expect Bucky Barnes to listen to her paranoid worries, but a week later—when she's attacked for digging into the mystery and calls Bucky for a rescue—he assigns himself as her bodyguard and pulls in the other New Avengers to help untangle the nefarious plans of a sinister company. And he does it all while he also tries to work through his intimacy issues so he can have what he really wants: Darcy. (Special note: The non-con warning is for Bucky's past with HYDRA. The actual acts do not occur in the fic and are not discussed in detail. See the author's note for more info.)
