Summary
Jane Elizabeth Holney. Her full name. Jane stared at it on the envelope in front of her, sealed, for better or for worse, with her decision.
So many things had led her here. Sauron, a Convergence, a Keeper, a ring, and the fate of the world cradled in the hands of a depressing few. And Elves, of course.
Or—just one, if she wanted to be honest.
Rain pattered against the large window, and Jane rested her head against the cool stone wall. The sound of the road and the birds singing, faintly, reached her ears as everyone slept.
How would she be remembered, in the end? A threat to global security? A hero? A delusional, bare-brained scientist with a deathwish for the world?
Did it matter?

Summary
Disclaimer! This is not really fanfiction. The setting and characters are loosely based on Pride and Prejudice. I came up with this idea and just had to post it, so yeah. This is a regency era romance with my own original characters, including Sally Mayes, the main character. Sally has no memory of anything before she was about 9 years old. She was taken in off the road and out of the cold by the generous housekeeper of the Hampton townhouse, Mrs. Mayes. Sally was raised by her and helped care for Mrs. Mayes' biological children as she grew up. She eventually rose to become the young Miss Hampton's lady's maid. Miss Hampton is engaged to be married and Sally is coming with her to remain her lady's maid during the transition of Miss Hampton to Mrs. Bexley.

Summary
This universe is so close to the one she recognizes, but there's no way to know how long she will inhabit the body of Carina Sheffield, Lady Mary's niece. The Sharma family is without their beloved Kate, and 'Carina' can't bear to watch Anthony Bridgerton marry some stranger when Edwina, a sweet, genuine, and loving person, is available instead.
She resolves to pick up Kate's protective role, but this time, advocate for a match-- after all, without the powerful attraction between the two soulmates, Anthony and Edwina could make a marriage work, couldn't they? All Carina has to do is use her knowledge of the series and the books to guide the pair toward each other, and, most crucially, stay out of the way.
To her consternation, she can't keep from antagonizing (and attracting) Anthony, which draws his attention away from Edwina despite her best efforts. Despite not belonging in his world, Carina finds herself falling for Anthony more thoroughly than she ever could have imagined. Can she claim a place in his heart, or will she be dragged back to her old, modern life before Anthony makes her a part of his?
Sorry for such a haitus, fandom's a bit intense. Publish date April of 2022.

Summary
What you hadn’t expected from being on the Enterprise, was that you would find Science Officer Spock so… so arresting. He’s handsome, no doubt about it, but you’ve been around good looking people before. That’s not enough to make you lose your cool. But with him it’s something more. You’ve only really seen him in briefings so far, but there’s something about his mind, the calm but compelling way he makes his points... he really makes you think.

Summary
"Will you keep your fancy clothes on, for me? / Can you bear a little longer to wear that leash? / My love, I swear by the air I breathe: / Sooner or later, you'll bare your teeth." - Joanna Newsom, "Monkey & Bear".
He does not have to question if she recognizes him or not. For a few moments he thinks she is debating turning on her heel and fleeing into the crowd. Then he watches her face transform from an uncertain young woman of twenty four, to something resembling the tenacious, take-no-prisoners ambulance driver who saved his life. She squares her shoulders, marches forward, suitcase in hand. Crams her hat under her armpit to free a hand to outstretch to him.
“Mr. Shelby,” she says. Her gloves, he notes, are brand new, possibly the most expensive item on her, which isn’t saying much. Spotless white. His hands are clean, but he can’t help but feel he’s marring them all the same. “Thank you for the tickets. And the letter.”
“Mrs. Shelby,” he says, which a better-humored man might have managed to make sound like a playful joke. At best, it sounds like a judge pronouncing a prison sentence. A life term.

Summary
In hindsight, she knew she'd been asking to be thrown into an alternate universe. She was a physicist, after all. What she hadn't been asking for was Sauron, a Convergence, and a bloody arrow digging into her neck. Also elves. She'd thought elves were a lie.

The Pizza Delivery Girl's Survival Guide to Gotham City by Morveren

Summary
People who lived outside of Gotham City would most often think of it in terms of its heroes and villains. About Batman and Robin, Joker and Harley Quinn.
People who actually live in Gotham City would only think of one thing: surviving.
Who cares about the people in costumes when your house has been bombed for the fifth time, or your wife has been taken hostage just because she worked in a bank?
Or, in your case, when you have to make regular deliveries to places where even Batman feared to tread?
Because let's face it. In a world full of superheroes and costumed villains, the real heroes are the ones who make sure that people get their pizzas in forty-five minutes or less.
