Blood Inheritance by thewesterndoor
Fandoms: Carry On Series - Rainbow Rowell, Simon Snow & Related Fandoms
08 Mar 2020
Tags
Summary
Simon Snow lives on the edge of a knife, waiting for the one wrong move that will finally throw him into the abyss. With his alpha urges barely contained and his magic unmanageable the last thing he needs is a job from the Mage, but Simon can’t afford to say no. The job is simple enough, but a chance encounter with a cold and calculating omega leaves Simon reeling and pulled into a mystery that has haunted the town of Watford for over a decade.
As heir to the Grimms and the Pitches, Baz was never supposed to be an omega. He might’ve been forgiven for not being born an alpha if a childhood attack hadn’t also left him a vampire. Instead, he’s a liability, hidden away in the countryside with any freedom hard won. When a threat to his mother’s legacy has him risking it all, it brings him face to face with Simon, an alpha who just might be capable of tearing apart Baz’s careful world. Does he dare trust the alpha who is working for the very man destroying Watford? And can Baz allow himself to give in to his hunger?

Summary
Maybe Viktor shouldn't have watched Mean Girls before he started his first day of high school in the United States, but he can't help it if he is suddenly inducted into his high school's very fashionable, Instagram-obsessed royalty.
He can't help falling in love with the cute soccer player in his literature class, either. Even if he's supposed to be off limits.Series

Summary
There are two possibilities as to what's on the other side of the door at this time of night. One is the Mage finally gathering enough evidence against me and my family to kick me out of this school forever at the request of Snow. Two is Snow forgot that he left the door unlocked and wants back in as soon as possible. I'm not expecting what I see there.
I reluctantly open the door only to reveal the panicked face of Bunce as she holds Snow's limp body in her arms.

Summary
Adulthood is supposed to be Simon Snow’s happily ever after. Instead, he’s adjusting to mundanity as well as a former Chosen One could - awfully. (Honestly what the fuck is he doing with his life?) At twenty-three he thinks he’s done with the adventures. The problem is that trouble tends to look for Simon.
This time he’s taken back to Watford School of Magicks. To open the Third Gate, slay the Sixth White Hare, and maybe find the fairies in the process. Meanwhile, the NowNext are setting up shop in London, his ex-girlfriend is unofficially a vampire slayer, his best friend’s in love with a Normal, said Normal is still cursed and running out of time, the dead spots are closing (maybe Simon isn’t as Normal as he thought), and on top of all of it - Baz is back in the country after being abroad for several years, looking good enough to eat.
And Simon is still hopelessly in love with him.

Summary
A rivalry won’t prove anything, but it seems to be the only option on our parts. There’s no forced kindness radiating from Mr. Grimm onto his child, as I’m sure they both hold the same sentiment over my staying. It seems as though only Mr. Pitch has the nerve to speak his mind, rather than bite his tongue.

Sir Simon Snow, the apprentice to Lord David, is sent off to stay at the Grimm-Pitch Manor for the next twelve months. While anticipating tension, he's met with a much stranger reality that unravels in his short time there.

Summary
Grantaire’s first flower appears when he is two years old. It’s late, for a First Bloom, considering some children are born with their First already etched above their hearts, but Grantaire’s parents are warm and loving and wait to see what sort of child they have born unto the world.
His First Bloom, when it comes, is vibrant patch of yellow carnations. He is too young to know what it means, and his parents don’t tell him, just—withdraw, and a much smaller patch of yellow carnations appears on his mother’s ankle.

Summary
Atop his platform the Kuninotokotachi smiled, raised hands that were white and clean. He spoke clearly and evenly in his own flowing language, giving benediction and reassurance to the camp of refugees that had been accumulating in this village in Calabria in the last four years. Victor didn't know Japanese, didn't understand what was spoken, but the soft voice washed over him like a river, seemed responsible for the gentle breeze that blew into the proceedings and disrupted the intentions of the merciless sun. A young man in blue under a white umbrella, with his eyes shining, and a smile in his words.
Christophe tugged on his elbow. "Did you hear me, Victor?"
"Mm?" Victor shook his head, trying to clear it.
"I asked if you were ready to meet him."
Victor Nikiforov, reporter for the New York Times, goes to Italy to interview a shinto priest in exile, and makes a friend.

Summary
Lonely, tired, and stuck in Detroit for two months due to competitions, Viktor Nikiforov decides he's staying. He's not sure what he expects to find, but it's certainly not love, and he certainly doesn't expect it to come in the form of the World's Cutest Barista.
But when the pressure of his career threatens to strain his burgeoning relationship, and long-held secrets come into the light, he finds his love tested in ways he'd never anticipated, with life-changing results.
"Dragonflies" encompasses the main fic, The Nature of Things (Viktor's PoV), Closets, a companion Phichit PoV fic, and All This And Heaven Too, a companion Yuuri PoV fic. The main fic can be read without the companion pieces, but the companion pieces tie heavily into The Nature of Things, and involve little explanation of the overarching plot, instead focusing on small moments offering a new perspective.
It also has various AUs I've come up with that take place in the same universe, each of which have an explanation of what it is that's significantly different from TNOT itself.

Summary
Someone tries to kill Enjolras. Grantaire dies to save him.
The guilt Enjolras feels is unlike anything he had ever felt before. He had never been very close to Grantaire, or at least not the same type of close he was with the other Amis. And yet, the resident cynic's loss is more unbearable than Enjolras would have ever imagined. He was supposed to protect his people. He was supposed to protect his friends.
But then one day he wakes up, and Grantaire is alive. Which was supposed to be a great, marvellous thing, really, only if it wasn't for the countdown clock glued to Enjolras' nightstand.
Or, the one where Grantaire dies, and Enjolras is granted 30 more days by his side before he loses him forever.- Language:

"Brace yourself, Pansy, because by the end of the week you'll have a friend in Azkaban for life." He announced, fuming.
"Darling," She started, sighing.
"No, don't darling me." He growled. "I'm going to kill him."_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
