    Summary

    Luke Castellan had lived once before. Back then, he was a she, and she’d read a certain book series where gods were real and monsters ran wild.

    It was a fun read.

    Living it? Not so much. Especially as the villain.

    No problem, though. Luke had a plan: don’t act like book!Luke. Free will, right? Easy.

    …Except Fate, when it’s an actual entity, doesn’t like being ignored.

    (Note: Roman gods ≠ Greek gods.)

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Wrecking his brain for something he could ask for, he silently cursed everyone for putting him in this position. The unclaimed for being troublesome little rats, Edward for wanting to set fire to the playground, and Dionysus for being so terrifying.

    With a sudden burst of clarity, Luke had an idea.

    My birthday’s coming soon, and I’ve been thinking… I’d really love a puppy. Could you please give me one?

    Summary

    Mary Bennet agrees to spend the London season with the newly married Darcys. She discovers that she would still infinitely prefer a book. But hiding in the library at balls and parties is not the solution, as an odd young man keeps turning up there.

    “'Miss Bennet', she says. I did not know my Conscience would have such an ordinary name.”

    “I am not your conscience, sir,” Mary said, feeling made fun of and annoyed to be shaken out of her reverie for nonsense. “And whimsicality such as this, whilst charming in a child, is not so appealing in a grown man.”

    “Wait,” he said. “Do wait. I am so used to speaking in that silly way with silly young women that I quite forgot myself. Please stay and talk a little more.”

    (from the prompt "Mary's season in London. Her moralising is a trial to her sisters but in the end she outshines them all.")

    ETA Thank you to Prinzenhasserin for helping me bounce around some ideas, and to Burglebezzlement for the offer of betaing!

    Summary

    A modern OC arrives in Yiling before the start of the Sunshot Campaign. She has no friends, no money, and no cultivation. She knows what's coming, but what could she possibly do about it?
    ***
    “Well…” I looked down at my fingernails and tried not to squirm. “If there were a way to separate Wei Wuxian from Madam Yu without ruining his relationship with his siblings, I’d encourage it. Like, as an example, marriage.”

    Xichen blinked. “To you?”

    “No. Absolutely not. What even—?” The thought was so abhorrent I couldn’t hold it in my head. My brain spat it right back out. “To your brother.”

    Xichen blinked. Again. “To Wangji?”

    “Obviously?”

    “This is a concern of yours?”

    “I realize it’s not my business at all,” I admitted. “But you asked.”
