    Summary

    Chu Wanning took his silence for agreement. “A wolf within their first ten years is vulnerable to their emotions. Stress, anxiety, melancholy, hysteria— it can trigger a bad transformation and lead to trouble. You have been living so idly and have yet to face proper consequences.”
    Mo Ran growled low in his throat. “Then what do you suggest I do?”
    “Stay with me."

    A barely turned werewolf, Mo Ran, encounters the lurking shadows of vampires in the streets as they congregate into the heart of the city, bringing blood in their wake. He doesn’t want to trust any of them, including the seemingly well-intended professor, Chu Wanning.
    Mo Ran is too young and wild, his transformations growing violent— Chu Wanning offers him a home and a guard for his slipping control as the city descends into chaos.

    Summary

    “I don’t listen to gossip.” Lan Wangji said, firmly.

    “Wangji.” His brother scolded. Lan Wangji felt the bite of his disapproval slice through his resolve.

    “If I go -.” Wangji struggled to formulate the words. “It will be harder to argue -. If I don’t speak to him I don’t have to consider his proposition.”

    Lan Xichen let go of his wrist, frowning. He smoothed his trousers. “Wangji.” He told him. “I know you think the world of your - plants -.” He waved his hand at Wangji, seemingly unable to complete a coherent sentence.

    “Mn.” Wangji said.

    “But this man has some very - novel ideas about the animal kingdom. People are - excited.”

    Wangji didn’t like the way Xichen emphasised ‘excited’. It made him feel - not excited. Annoyed. Frustrated that no one seemed to understand the value of persistent, dedicated, detailed study rather than ‘exciting’ and preposterous theories. Also, it infuriated him that everyone considered animals to be so much more exciting than plants. In terms of diversity the former was barely a patch on the latter. “His theories are ridiculous.” Was what he told his brother. “I am not strategic.” Lan Wangji told him.

    Xichen smiled. “But I am. And I am your brother.”

    Summary

    When the Duke of Wiltshire hires Miss Hermione Granger to be the new governess for his young sister and his ward, they both assume it will be like any other post.

    The duke does not imagine a woman with an unknown past who makes the Manor's corrupted magic react the moment she steps foot on the grounds. And Hermione is not expecting one of her charges to be shrouded in mysteries that she feels compelled to solve, even though the duke continues to get in her way.

    Set against a dying Malfoy Manor, the launching of a young lady in her first Season, and a deepening medical mystery, our favorite couple is drawn together and may find love.

    But there is a problem, and it's even larger than their differences in station: the Manor is hungry, and it wants Hermione all for itself.

    Summary

    Lavender Marriage

    noun

    A male-female marriage entered into in the hope of concealing the non-heterosexual sexual orientation of one or both of the spouses.

    𓇢𓆸

    Jayce Giopara wasn't a foolish man in the slightest. He knew what was expected from a man in his station, what Sir Giopara planned for his son to achieve in his life, blood related or not. If anything, those expectations were even higher for Jayce.

     

    “You may have been given my name, boy. But you have to earn it as well.”

    He would be damned if he let the opportunity he'd been given pass him by, especially since the Lord and Lady had their pick of any child from the orphanage. Hence this entire charade. A suit, a church, organ music reaching his ears as he adjusts his bow tie. A tight strung, sophisticated member of the church and society.

     

    The son of a Lord and Lady. A doctor in his own right.

    Today was Jayce Giopara's wedding day to one Caitlyn Kiramman. He couldn't be more miserable even if he tried.

    Summary

    1847. Aziraphale Fell arrives at Eden Hall to take up his new position as tutor to the young heir. The house is enormous, remote, and its occupants rather strange — but none more so than its master, the ill-mannered but inconveniently handsome Mr Crowley.

    Mr Crowley’s gaze lingered on him.

    ‘Now I see you in broad daylight, I can tell you’re no gentleman.’

    Aziraphale bristled. He was wearing his best ensemble, and it was of fine enough quality, if a little rumpled from the luggage.

    ‘Whereas you certainly look the part, even if your manners suggest otherwise.’

    A Victorian human AU loosely inspired by Jane Eyre, but with 50% less angst and 100% less spousal incarceration.
