    Summary

    “Why are you looking at me like that?”
    He pauses, wets his lips. “I want you to have it.”
    “William, don’t be silly, it was your mother’s – ”
    “And now I want it to be yours.” He says. “I – I did not have the ring in my pocket for the sake of our ruse. I intended to give it to you, when the time was right.”
    ---
    The story of how Eliza Scarlet and William Wellington finally get engaged involves many shenanigans, including a stolen pair of earrings, a murder investigation, and Miss Scarlet and her inspector pretending to be married.

    Summary

    William Wellington is no stranger to drink, but he is to being so strongly affected by his work. In the fallout that has followed the capture of Frank Jenkins's apprehension and arrest, he's found that his stomach for his profession has become compromised by nightmares and visions that have a deeply personal connection. It is because of this he finds himself severely intoxicated and at Eliza Scarlet's doorstep, far later into the night than is even remotely proper, saying things he knows he'll come to regret come morning.

    Summary

    She hadn’t meant for it to happen.

    One second she’d been stretching on her tiptoes, mere inches from placing a chaste kiss on his cheek (or, more likely, his beard as he was a good head and shoulders taller than her) and the next she could feel his lips, half on hers, half on her cheek, his nose brushing against the side of her own, his beard rough against her chin.

    She pulled back, startled, cheeks flushing red. Oh good god, how had this happened?

    In which Eliza is in Much Denial, William is a pining mess, and Ivy watches these two idiots with a mixture of fear and amusement. Some angst with a happy ending.

    Summary

    “High collars might be in fashion, now," Gleb countered when he pulled back, catching her hand and holding it against his chest, and Anya rolled her eyes.

    “They aren't.” She leaned in to kiss him again, tried to wipe the self-amused grin from his face, and reminded him, “Lily will know that.”

    “The Countess Malevsky-Malevich has no room to judge." He skimmed his lips, the tip of his nose over her neck, but didn't quite kiss her again. "Besides, you'd look beautiful -" He pressed a kiss to her shoulder. "- in anything -" He scraped his teeth over her collarbone. "- even something with a collar."

    Summary

    It’s her. Gleb doesn’t waste time doubting it. He’s spent five years catching glimpses of her in the upturned angle of a chin, blue eyes laughing or flashing in anger, a flick of auburn hair sent over a shoulder, a hand brushing against his in a crowded tram. Each time, every time, the illusion lasts only for an instant, and the woman before him is a stranger again. Every time, he feels the lack of Anya, of Anastasia, as an absence felt against the inside of his ribs. As fresh as though it was new.

    But this woman is not Anya as he remembers her. This isn’t a trick of the light, or a weakness of his mind, or his discomfort and yearning made manifest. She looks nothing like the grand duchess he fled from, the fairy tale that he buried. And that is how he knows she is real.

    Her Royal Highness has odd and unexpected tastes in nightclubs.

    Summary

    "Anya looked up at him with those blue, Romanov eyes, and Gleb pushed away all uncertainty.  It couldn’t be her. He wouldn’t let it be her. He had heard Anastasia die and for the good of Russia and for Anya’s own safety she would stay dead if he had to kill her himself.

    But Anya’s eyes had lost their fear and now held only sadness.  “Would you have pulled the trigger,” she asked, her voice quiet, “if you’d been told?” "

    A retelling of the Broadway musical Anastasia in which a frightened Anya accepts a stranger's hand and his offer for tea, despite the nagging feeling that she recognizes his eyes.

    Summary

    The moment Anya's life begins to unfold, at last, after years of aimless wandering, comes so subtly and unsolicited that she might have missed it entirely, had circumstances not aligned the way they did. A cold morning, the backfiring of a truck and her life-long fears, her body hitting the pavement like her survival depends on it...

    And the helping hand of a complete stranger.

    Summary

    “I can’t lose this job. They’re not easy to come by.” Her explanation stopped his thoughts in their tracks, and he felt bad for suspecting her. She was a good Russian, hardworking and dedicated, and his furrowed brow relaxed as she added, “But - thank you.” She clutched her broom to her chest like the lifeline it was for her, and then she smiled at him.

     

    He felt like she’d punched him in the stomach.

     

    The show, but focused on Gleb and Anya's relationship.
