Bookmarker's Notes
This Ghost Hunt fanfiction is one of the longest-running stories I’ve followed. After nearly 18 years of dedication, the author is finally nearing the end of the story, and I couldn’t be more excited.

Summary
A fic in five acts
It took them four days to find Christine. Four days she had spent alone, in shock, unable to leave her father's slowly decaying corpse.
In an attempt to escape the memory of his death, Christine joins the National Opera and throws herself into rehearsals. However, as she settles into her place in the newly constructed opera house, she begins to learn that things are not quite what they seem… And that there are things far more haunting than the memory of her father's rotting flesh.

Bookmarker's Notes
The music moved through her, and she moved with it. This was it, her fate. To be reunited with her love, else to beg for death, for mercy, for freedom from the curse of solitude and passion. But it would never happen. She had nothing to offer the gods. She would bow her head to fate’s cruel blows. This role was not meant to be hers.

A beautiful series. Bittersweet slice of life. It's my favorite work related to Attack on Titan.

Summary
In Emmrich’s experience, people (and spirits) came in many varieties. But fundamentally, there were only two that mattered: those who could be trusted to borrow a book and return it in pristine condition…
…and those like Rook.
(A series of vignettes about finding love in the margins with the help of books, a pig, some flowers, a harpsichord, and a couple of rhyming teacups.)

"He heard the distinctive twig-snapping sounds of the costochondral joints giving way. First the true ribs, then the false. It was so easy to expose the heart."

He would pour her wine as dark as arterial blood, a toast to her radiant desecration, to the alchemy of her being. And he would watch her, merely watch her, rapt as she consumes the world.

“I suppose you’ll want to come in?” She is proud her voice doesn’t waver.
It’s not an invitation. Tom will have to ask.
She knows he hates asking.

"The thing about Tom, she sometimes reminisces, is that his touches aren’t always just integumentary. She may never stop feeling him in her skin."

Summary
The Darkling's tent was large and ominous and quite a distance from the cartographer’s tent, but Alina ran to it, slamming up against the oprichniki at its entrance instead of a proper stop, breath thready and voice high with exertion.
"Please," she said between great lungfuls of dusty air. "I need to see the Darkling."
"You don't belong here, Shu bint."
The urgency running through Alina's very blood coiled around itself, an anger boiling in her veins that she pushed away, willing it not to dull the momentum of her singleminded mission.
"It's about the Fold," she breathed, frustrated, muscles singing with exertion. She pulled out one of her maps from the last month out from underneath her arm, shaking it in the face of the closest oprichniki.
"It's shrinking."Two months before Mal and Alina are charted for their journey across the Fold, Alina enlists the help of the Darkling when the Fold begins to shrink. One Shadow Summoner-- and a Sun Summoner who has practiced her power every night since youth underneath thin duvets.

Summary
She was young, he’d been right, and so small. She couldn’t have been much above five feet tall, and it certainly had been an odd sensation looking down at his new monarch. But there was a strength in her voice – a strength with a tremor, for sure, and a lot of fake confidence that anyone with any observational skills would see right through – but a strength that had surprised him, given her history. She hadn’t been completely cowed by Conroy, he thought a little triumphantly. There was a fire in her eyes, an eagerness to succeed, but a wariness. She couldn’t hide her fear, no matter how imperiously she looked at him, how high she held her chin.
Or, the one where Lord Melbourne becomes Private Secretary to a twenty-two-year-old Queen Victoria sometime in 2017.
