    Summary

    It is April of 1912. Thomas Edison Greene finds himself onboard the RMS Titanic on her maiden voyage, trapped in a marriage of convenience under the suffocating watch of his father.

    Enter Newton Isaacs, a struggling third class artist who captures Thomas's heart within moments of their chance meeting. A sweeping love affair ensues, Newt opening Thomas’s eyes to a world he never dreamed possible. Separated by social class and forced to keep his newfound romance secret from his father, Thomas comes to realise he would trade all the money in the world for a future with Newt, for the chance to finally be himself and live as he sees fit.

    But when the luxury liner collides with an iceberg in the middle of the frigid Atlantic, Newt and Thomas must fight the odds stacked against them in a frightening battle to survive.

    Summary

    It was always the same subject of conversation. Michael Wheeler had stolen redcoat cannons. Michael Wheeler had been hired by Washington right on sight. Michael Wheeler was the genius of a generation, the greatest writer of the American Revolution. Michael Wheeler was a nobody, a know-nothing, a boy in man’s boots.

    Michael Wheeler would never be satisfied.

    Will could understand that. That feeling of never being filled, never being enough. Of wanting more from life than what it could give.

    Not that he had given it much thought.

    He hadn’t.

    ~~~~~

    Or, two boys lock eyes across a hazy ballroom and begin a night of secrets, sacrifice, and the journey of finding something more than just enough—a Byler Satisfied AU.

    Summary

    “They’re… chaos,” Remus said firmly. “And chaos is—”
    “Rock and roll.”
    He looked at Sirius sharply, and for once, matched his grin. “Yeah.”
    “Maybe that’s my excuse then,” Sirius said. “I cause a bit of chaos now, and maybe one day, it’ll turn into rock and roll.”

    After losing his mother at age eleven, Remus has spent the better part of the last four years bouncing from school to school or else running around London and pretending as though he wasn't the kind of well-bred boy his father brought him up to be. Now, with his chances all run out, Remus is sent to Hawkings Independent School as a last-ditch effort to clean up his act. There he meets the very people who will set up the rest of his life, and is forced to confront the pieces of himself he'd long thought had been lost.

    (genuinely not apologising for the slow-burn in this fic anymore. You've been warned <3)
