Summary
In the summer of 1925, all of Russia turns its eyes to the coronation of Alexei II, a dazzling spectacle meant to reaffirm the strength of the monarchy. But beneath the splendour, a conspiracy within the Ballet Russes, where Bolshevik sympathizers conspire to strike at the very heart of the empire.
Princess Natalia Paley is dangerously fascinated with Serge Lifar, a brilliant but subversive dancer with ties to the conspiracy. What begins as admiration soon turns into something far more reckless-a betrayal that could not only cost Natalia her friendship with Alexei but put the entire monarchy at risk.
Meanwhile, Vladimir and Tata struggle to make it to the altar as their love is tested by endless delays and the meddling of Tata's formidable mother, Countess Brassova. As tensions rise and secrets from the past come to light, they are forced to confront whether their relationship.
For Irina and Feodor, the weight of responsibility as Viceroys of the Caucasus has cast yet another shadow over their marriage. Irina, struggling with the demands of motherhood and her new life, throws herself into an ambitious project to improve the lives of her people-something that will challenge her in ways she never expected.

Summary
Speakeasies are a den of depravity that promised Vox a night of indulgence. After hearing about one particularly saucy juice joint, Vox decides to take a peek. He didn’t expect to be struck by a familiar voice attached to a tall dark and handsome man. Vox is determined to get Alastor’s attention and find out what it would be like to finally give into his desires on a level beyond hushed school boy petting sessions. After all he was a man now, having his first drink away from the suffocating societal rules of the outside world.
Alastor found Vox to be an interesting prospect, at least when it comes to being a victim at his hands. The young man was naive and far from home. Surely no one would miss him. Least of all Alastor himself.
1920s human AU with age gap.

Summary
After a tragic incident made him forsake his work as a sailor, Wriothesley leads a relatively peaceful life as a lighthouse keeper instead – until one stormy night, he unexpectedly falls under the spell of a vicious siren. Miraculously, he manages to break through the hypnosis, but the monster continues to torment him to the verge of insanity. The next time they meet face to face, the siren, who introduces himself as Neuvillette, insists that the entire situation has been a misunderstanding and even has the nerve to suggest they should become friends! With the horrors he put him through?! Absurd!
With all that said... life on a desolate island does get a bit lonely at times, and it seems that Neuvillette is able to relate to that notion more than anyone. Slowly but surely, Wriothesley finds himself drawn to the siren's charm more and more, and their unprecedented relationship might just end up being the key to dealing with some of his past regrets. As long as Neuvillette is able to suppress his wild instincts, that is...

Summary
"Logically, I knew that I was in the company of some of the few people of whom I’d never have to worry about discovering the more… unsavory, to put a word to it, elements of my past. The shifty bartender, the flirtatious woman sitting next to me; even Boris likely couldn't care less about being associated with a draft dodger. Despite having just met him, I had an odd feeling that he was no stranger to criminal acts far more severe than taking a drink."
OR
At a well-to-do speakeasy in Prohibition era Chicago, 26 year old Theodore Decker runs into a well-dressed man with a passion for drinking--a man that would soon whisk him away into the seedy underbelly of the White City.
