Summary
Leah hadn’t exactly expected this trip to be one of moonbeams and rainbows – nothing about her marriage had ever been thus – but the courtesy her husband had typically treated her with had evaporated as soon as they had landed in his homeland.

Summary
Bran’s eyes flashed amber, just briefly, just enough to warn her that he was close to an edge. “Well, I exiled my wife and mate to a realm beyond my purview. You might have heard.”

Summary
The entire point of these charades was to create convincing backstories, ones that would hold up to the scratching of any devious investigative officials. Charles was adept at hiding money trails, creating fake profiles, but these days it was the ‘softer’ forms of identity creation that created a realistic-looking life.
At least, that was what Bran thought.

Summary
On her dressing table, a sheet of paper, half folded under a bottle of her favorite, rarely-used perfume.
She teased it out with a finger. It unfolded all by itself.
I love you, he had written in his distinctive handwriting. The words were as plain as the nose on her face.

Summary
“Say something.” Ilya asks “in Russian. For me.”
Then softly, carefully, he does. “Я всё ещё скучный.“ I’m still boring. He tried to add humour to it. But he doesn’t know if it reached.
Still, Ilya's breath catches.“Oh.” He says like he’s just been handed something precious. “You’re perfect.”
Or, Shane had been learning Russian the whole time.

Summary
“Hollander’s Metros have had a challenging few years, with back-to-back knee injuries and a concussion keeping the two-time Stanley Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist off the ice for three consecutive postseason runs. Hollander is apparently back to fighting trim, but everyone’s wondering if that will still be true come April. The Metros have promised that they’re behind their franchise star one hundred percent, but there are signs they might be hedging their bets. The Metros announced last week that they have penned a deal with San Francisco’s dynamic young Russian star, center Ilya Rozanov. The move has sent shockwaves through MLH, as San Francisco was widely expected to sign a contract extension with Rozanov, who became a restricted free agent in June.”

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.)
