Summary
There was depressingly little of the glitter the songs spoke of, dull gum-splattered streets rather than the paved gold ones that New York, New York song they liked to play made it sound like there would be. If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere. But if anything, Boris realised, eyeing up the hooded figures in an alleyway with a look like an enquiring Soviet spy, it was exactly as Potter said it would be.
Boris searches for all the places Theo described in rich detail beside a swimming pool, under the twisted sheet on his bed - his mother’s old haunts, Park Avenue - and walks along the streets he'd only ever imagined in the glare of Las Vegas sunlight. It's almost enough to know he's there, hidden and out of reach like the moon hung in the sky, until one evening, he appears.

Summary
He would do anything for her, he decides, but upon reflection, the corners of his mouth upturned, he realises he knew that already. Perhaps he always has.

Featuring the sunrise through a bay window, two cups of tea and proof that actions can say more than words. Modern AU.

Summary
It isn’t easy being Anne Neville. Her law degree is falling to pieces, (philosophy is just so much more interesting) she has a horrible habit of blushing from the roots of her hair to her fingertips and worst of all, she has a ridiculous, long-lasting thing for Richard Plantagenet.
Anne's workload is snowballing so she'll have to give Ned's party a miss. Richard is determined not to let that happen. How can she possibly refuse? Featuring some library flirting, a very red-faced Anne and the first dustings of snow in December. Modern AU.

Summary
Isabel Neville, like most medieval women, is only known for her ancestry, marriage and descendants. As heiress of the second most powerful man in England and would-be Queen to the controversial Duke of Clarence, her story must have been a vivid one.
The Bygone era she lived in saw the demise of the great barons and medieval chivalry and way of life. After having recently found out that I am a direct descendant of hers I decided that it is high time that somebody wrote a story about her.
This story will be told in 3rd person through multiple POVs. The latest chapter is told through the POV of Margaret of Anjou
Compliments and criticism appreciated in equal measure!

a portrait of the artist as a con man by putanauhere

Summary
“And how did you come across a particularly sloppy Renoir reproduction?” Theo can’t help but ask as Boris gestures at the bartender for another two shots and smirks when Theo says reproduction. Even if Boris struck Theo as the art type, a fake Renoir is not the sphere of work that Theo could imagine Boris’ collection to be.
Boris ticks a thumbnail against the side of his glass pensively. “Friend of friend gave it to me. A gift of sorts. One of my associates suggested I get it looked at by professional.”
“And you found me,” Theo finishes for him.
Boris holds his hands out, palms up, and replies, “Small world, no?”
[Or art restoration expert Theo Decker finds himself slowly pulled into the high risk/high reward world of art forgery at the hands of his old classmate, Boris Pavlikovsky.]
