Summary
Nate Archibald is just a slip of a silhouette in thousand dollar shoes. Worthy of nothing and getting it on a silver platter all the same, he’s hardly even a person at all. So if saving his family from certain collapse requires selling himself in the process, what does it even matter. After all, he’s never been anything but a pretty face for those around him to position as they please, how is this any different?

Summary
The Dark Times are nothing more than ancient history to the humans. Fearsome tales told to all the children of the human kingdoms of Azeroth of satyr and wyvern and trolls and all the wild, fearsome things that once ruled the land. They are almost as fabled and feared as those that tamed the wilds with magic so powerful as to be incomprehensible.
High Elves, the humans called them. Ruled by an all-powerful queen. Hidden away behind invisible barriers in a land of perpetual warmth and beauty. For the elves had tamed all things. Even nature, itself.
The betrothal of Jaina Proudmoore, the first human with magic in her veins, to a Lord of the elven royalty was a convenient way for the humans to rid themselves of the perceived threat of a dangerous young woman with a gift none of them understood. It had also solidified a long-standing, tenuous truce between them. And Jaina? Well. Jaina never felt like she belonged, anyway. She has always wanted more.

Summary
“Show me what? Parlor tricks? No, my prince. I don't need a magistrix. I have a perfectly good one already. I need a ranger. I need someone who can shoot, track, and understand the forest. Parlor tricks don't protect our borders. They don't help me to keep the trolls at bay. I need an elf. I need someone who will be able to work with her sisters and at the very least, understand us.”
Kael'thas opened his mouth to object, but another voice offered its own opinion instead.
“Oh, I can shoot well enough,” the human rose from her seat as she offered...in perfect Thalassian. “And I do not think that me understanding you will be a problem.”

A Year at Princess Charm School by NovemberFlowerz

Summary
Blair Willows, a young waitress struggling to support her younger sister and sick mother, has been given a one-in-a-million opportunity to attend the prestigious Princess Charm School. If she can make it through the year, it'll be a golden ticket to provide her family with a better life. Trying to fit in with a class full of literal princesses who've been preparing for this their whole life is no easy feat--but she just might stand a chance when the schools headmistress, Alexandra Privet, offers to become her private tutor. But things are complicated when they develop feelings for each other, feelings they're forbidden to act on. To make matters worse, the future princess of Gardania and her mother seem specifically out to get Blair for reasons she doesn't understand.
Basically a rewrite of Barbie: Princess Charm School, without the magic, a little edgier, and of course BlairxPrivet. Hopefully will be readable/enjoyable with or without having seen the movie.

Summary
“About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”
“Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”
“Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”
“Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”
*
Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.

Summary
Midsummer falls upon the Continent with blistering heat, the crackle of ancient magic in the thick air.
“We’re going dancing,” Sabrina says, breathless. “Real dancing.”
The drum batters the air, strikes at their chests. A rising heartbeat that throbs, swells, racing. The bonfire blazes, and the river water is cold.----
A series of midsummers in Yennefer's life, and the memories and accidental rituals that come with them.

Summary
The war has not gone well for anyone. The Alliance has three months left before collapse. The Horde is not much better off. With neither victory or death as options, Sylvanas proposes an alternative. A treaty, to ease tensions and open borders, with a political hostage to ensure that both sides stay in line. A marriage with many political implications and Sylvanas would only accept one person. Jaina Proudmoore.
And Jaina Proudmoore made for the perfect hostage. If the Alliance moves wrong, Jaina dies. The Horde attacks, and Jaina reduces Orgrimmar to a wisp of a memory in the minds of children.
Of course, no one expected Sylvanas and Jaina to be anything more than uneasy partners with each other, least of all Sylvanas and Jaina...

Summary
It was as if, for the first time, she was seeing the girl as three dimensional. As human. Before she’d only seen a statue, sculpted perfect, pretty, and ready to be displayed to the world. Now she could see the girl the statue was cast from. Marble turned to flesh and blood and skin. For a moment, Judy almost thought she could be described as ethereal, like a goddess stepping down to Earth. But that wasn’t right. She just looked like a girl.

I don’t know what I was hoping for. Breakfast in bed? A declaration of love, complete with rescindment of previous beer-stained altercations? I'd laugh if the bitter sting of rejection wasn’t clogging my sense of humour.

Boys, hungry stares and too-big desires so easily magnified with a single brush of a hand; girls, envy and distrust and sometimes more, sometimes so deliciously more – the chase grueling but the prey so, so sweet.
