Summary
He scratches his eyebrow. “I mean— okay—“ he starts. “Okay, okay, there’s— there’s a plan here. Right, so what if, what if we do fewer weekends, but we do, like, longer trips? Like maybe we do every other month. But then we do one big trip in the summer or something?”
“International,” she proposes. “Maybe an international trip?” Different enough from The Dream, she hopes.
His eyebrows rise at this. “You know Robin doesn’t have the cash for that,” he tells her. “And, really, Byers?”
“He probably doesn’t either,” she allows, “so maybe we go without them.”
Steve’s eyes lock onto hers. “We go without them?” he repeats calmly.

Summary
Penny finds herself facing a far less theoretical crisis than the men across the hall ever seem prepared for: money. With the Cheesecake Factory slashing her hours and auditions drying up, survival—not ambition—becomes the priority. Pride bruised but desperation winning, Penny begins searching for work that will keep her apartment, her independence, and her carefully constructed sense of self intact.
Enter Dr. Sheldon Cooper—who, quite by accident and under firm administrative pressure from President Siebert, discovers that his professional life has been deemed insufficiently collaborative. The solution, according to the university, is simple: Sheldon requires a personal assistant. Someone to manage correspondence, scheduling, grant logistics, and the myriad inefficiencies of a world that stubbornly refuses to operate according to logic.
Penny is, by every measurable metric Sheldon values, an appalling choice.
She is untrained, uncredentialed, emotionally expressive, chronically late, and—most concerning of all—inconsistent. And yet, through a series of circumstances neither of them will ever admit was anything less than unavoidable, Penny becomes exactly that: Sheldon Cooper’s assistant.

An Ever-Fixed Mark by AMarguerite

Summary
One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

Summary
Spurned by the injustices done to him in "The Clifton Manor Incident", the estranged brother of 1732's Santa starts a hunting club for myths, legends, and all manner of magical beings that spans the ages. Finally, hundreds of years later, a Clifton manages to do what no other member could do: capture Santa Claus (and an errant Jack Frost, too).
Finding themselves Legend-napped and, in Jack's case, rendered powerless by two silly little slap bracelets, Santa and Jack endure the terrible decor, dress choices, and scare tactics of a crazy specific CULT as they figure out a way to escape their clutches.
Meanwhile, Jacqueline and Charlie are sent out on official Legate business to find Santa and Jack, free them, and hopefully put a stop to whatever nonsense the so-called "Clifton Society" has caused for magibeans all over the world this time.

Summary
“Miss Nomani, was it?” he asked, peering at her down the length of his nose. “Neve Nomani?”
He knew her name? “I—yes, sir,” Neve stammered. “I mean—yes, my lord.”
His lip curled upward again at her obvious nerves. “And do you know who I am, Miss Nomani?”
Should she know him? Did he have the same feeling when he looked at her?
She was beginning to feel rather ill caught in that slitted gaze of his. Half of her was desperate to be out of the room, and yet the other half was transfixed. Not by his beauty—not only by his beauty—but with an inexplicable kind of sinking feeling. It went beyond simple fear; there was a sadness to it, as well. Like the sight of him was wrong, somehow. The longer she stared at him, the more it felt like someone had reached inside her chest to squeeze her heart in an icy grip.
And she couldn’t look away.
__Summoned to make a delivery to the Crimson Palace by a mysterious note, a Neve who never left Baldur’s Gate finds herself haunted in the aftermath of her meeting with the inexplicably familiar Lord Ancunín.
A Mercurial World AU.

Summary
Miranda studied the tie closest to Nigel’s wrist, a patternless option in tangerine. She picked it up and beckoned Andrea over with a bend of one finger. Once close enough, she draped the tie over her assistant's left shoulder to compare it against the large apricot-toned hibiscus on the print of her blouse. It was exactly the color she was looking for, and as Miranda smoothed the fabric with her hand, she could feel Andrea’s heart thundering beneath her palm. A pink blush crept up her chest and neck, and as it made its way to her cheeks, Miranda silently admired how lovely the hue was there.

Nobody but he and I knew the truth. Jack wasn't supposed to be Santa; I wasn't supposed to be Jack Frost. He thought being Santa would fix everything.
He was horribly, horribly mistaken.

Summary
"Mama, what's that on your arm?" A young Luz pointed to the string of words that covered her mother's forearm. Camila sighed and figured it was time for the infamous "talk" with her little Luz.
"Well, this here is called a soul tie. These marks are what tie you to the person you are meant to be with - your soulmate. They show up different for everyone, and some never get theirs at all. But some are born with the first words their soulmate speaks to them, some don't get theirs until their initial interaction with them, with their first words forever upon their skin past that point. Some have empathy marks - little things that the other has drawn on themselves show up on their skin, their bruises and scrapes are shared with their soulmate," Camila paused, glancing at the latest random bruise on her daughter's knee, and the little star on her thigh.
"This, my little one," she pointed to the words on her own forearm, "are the first words your father ever spoke to me." She smiled brightly, and Luz did, too. "And this, Luz, belongs to your soulmate," she brushed her fingers over the bruise on her knee, and poked the star on her thigh.

Summary
It's been almost a year since Jack Frost thawed and things are looking...well, not so great. Jack's powers are seemingly gone. Without them, the Dome that keeps the North Pole safe from the cold and its magic controlled is melting, putting everything and everyone magical at risk.
Unable to hide his power shortage any longer, Jack is forced to admit the truth. Thankfully, there is a solution: enacting the Legate Law, bringing Jack and the sister that he hurt so many centuries ago back together again. But when Jacqueline starts experiencing destructive blackouts, the pair are forced to head back home to Crystal Springs, bringing Jack face to face with the rest of the family.
Needless to say, between getting his powers back, helping his sister figure out what in the FROST those blackouts even were, reconciling with his parents, meeting the two even younger siblings he didn't even KNOW he had, NOT TO MENTION the ancient threat that's had it out for the ENTIRE Frost family finally making a move?
Saving Christmas (regrettably) is looking to be a little bit...complicated.
