Summary
So maybe he didn't die in 1935? Maybe he faked his death and retreated from public life to a small town in Hampshire?
Maybe the Second World War bought him more than bad memories?
When a young orphan is evacuated from London in 1942 to escape the Blitz she ends up in the care of a strange recluse. Can this haunted man remove the mask at last?

Summary
Jared’s had a rough year. His boyfriend dumped him and he's out of work, saddled with a pile of student loan debt after dropping out of school to care for a sick relative. Hoping to cheer him up, his sister enters him into a contest for an unusual prize: ten days alone with world famous rock star Jensen Ackles, Jared's childhood hero. No cameras, no entourage, just a chance to get to know one of the biggest names in music one-on-one.
Jared wins, but it's not the dream come true it should be. It's been a long time since Jensen's glory days, and he's fallen on hard times himself. Fresh out of his fourth stint in rehab, Jensen is now better known for his bad attitude and party lifestyle than his music. When he arrives, Jensen turns out to be even worse than the tabloids say. Jared can hardly stand him and the feeling seems to be mutual, but Jensen's label is offering a generous per diem and Jared needs the money almost as much as Jensen needs the good press.
As the days pass and Jared begins to see through Jensen’s bad boy act, he discovers a heart that beats to the same broken rhythm as his own. But ten days go quickly, and it's hard to imagine a future outside of the quiet world they've shared in Jared's home.

Summary
They come to Ben and Chon with an offer that’s only slightly more difficult to refuse than a root canal, and Chon warns Ben with a soft, warm whisper against the shell of his ear that none of the Mexicans, with their silver-handled guns and cowboy boots, should be considered as easy and light-hearted as they appear to be, especially from where Ben and Chon sit on the white, plush couch in Alex’ hotel room, plied with fruit and cheese and wine, and especially when Ben and Chon are so pleasantly buzzed, a faint whiff of their morning toke drifting from both of their clothes.

Summary
Allison says, “This is my boyfriend, Isaac–”
“–Lahey,” Scott finishes for her.
Isaac smiles at him like he can’t help it. It starts as a twitch at the corner of his mouth and then it slides across his features until it takes over his entire expression. The joy is too big for his face, breaks him apart and shatters him so beautifully as he laughs a little and says, “Holy shit.”

Summary
An inch is what saves him in the end.
A single inch of idle sway while aiming that takes Billy from fatal to just fucked, for what’s now sure to be the shortened remainder of his brutally torn apart life.
Dignam's taken to calling him a fucking miracle, though he means it in all the ways the doctors never do. Not like it's a merciful act of God that he survived, but rather something Billy fucking well earned.

Billy lives! Billy loves! Everything is slightly broken but healing, and the world is soft but gritty at the same time. Everyone must read this.

Summary
She gives in, eventually. It's not a hardship, for the truth is this: Jonas had charmed her the moment she first saw him, hoodwinked her like the elves of old. The lustre of his hair, the blue of his eyes, the calm of his company - she knows it's a gift. And if he likes her just as much, then perhaps, they could make a fairytale of their own.
How Trine Hansen falls in love with Jonas Vingegaard, and everything that conspires in between.

"I just remember working with our intimacy coordinator and we were like alright, run your hand up his forearm then take his hand. I was just narrating to them what they would do, and we did a number of those things and then we got into the edit and we pieced it together that way and then it became very intentional."

Summary
Enjolras presses his lips together. He already looks pained, and Grantaire hasn't even opened his mouth yet. That's got to be a record, even for them.
"I need a favor," he says at last.
"With what?" says Grantaire. "Ooh, are you forming a cult? Can I join? I'd be awesome at cults, I just know it." He ticks off his qualifications on his fingers. "I love chanting, I look great in robes—"
(High school AU. Grantaire the disaffected stoner is pulled into a cause bigger than himself. Or: in which there are pretend boyfriends for great justice.)

A slight expansion on my tumblr post
"a reincarnation AU where Enjolras has eight birth marks across his chest. Grantaire only has one, right over his heart"
Bahorel remembered first.
In the harsh light of the summer morning, Bahorel ran his fingers across the birthmark thoughtfully. It had never really occurred to him before, but it was the perfect echo of a bayonet wound.The barricade boys start to remember their past and are drawn together once more.

Summary
"Personally, I'd go through 3 to get to 6, then maybe steal a plane."
A blonde boy, with olive skin that seemed unnaturally yellow, furrowed his brow in response. Oh shit, he'd told his joke to Enjolras, the retired Game Maker's son.
"Hah hah," Grantaire nervously sputtered in a whisper, yanking his hand back, "I'm kidding. Just a joke, okay. I'd never leave. I'd never defy the Capital."
Grantaire was the type who would make a new friend right before the Reaping.

Life is hard in the world of A Brother’s Price, especially for orphans. In Queensland adoption is considered a hidden evil, forbidden by the laws of gods, Queens and good common sense. Still, there is also opportunity, particularly in the service of the Queens. If a woman is strong, bold and brave enough she can hope to rise in the world; to gain the necessities of life, to find sisters to watch her back, and even, if she is very, very lucky, to find a father for her children.
