Summary

Charles is dead. Isn't he? Erik has had two years to get used to it. Any version of Charles he could meet now would just be a vengeful shade.
Well, he might be right about that.

Summary
The box, of course, had not actually been empty when Dean found it. A battered old romance novel had resided therein, and Dean, being Dean, had made a face and a bad joke about Fabio under his breath, and then had picked up the book and flipped through it out of idle curiosity before tossing it back in the box.
In theory, this could have been a bad thing. But since it was probably just someone’s idea of a joke—after all, what could possibly possess someone to do serious mojo to an old paperback book?—he wasn’t too worried about it.
Or, in which Dean manages to get cursed, Cas manages to get cursed, and Sam's too smart to fall for Dean's pathetic attempt to start a prank war.

Summary
It is some years after the Battle of Waterloo and peace settles leerily over Muggle England and the Continent. The Beau Monde is a glittering chandelier at which all the lights of the world gather, Wizard and Muggle, and for a gentleman of means and perhaps also title, there's only a few items of importance to consider: the Season, the gossip and the perfect construction of one's cravat,not necessarily in that order. However, the Viscount Malfoy's papa has just been cruelly ruined, his fortune lost in a game of Pharo to the scurrilous Lord Voldemort, an elder rake with an eye toward rapid political advancement. The Viscount, darling of the Ton, faces a loss of face in the world of Polite Society, on par with the unfortunate Beau Brummell's, and feels he must serve comeuppance to the villain, plus settle a few old scores along the way. Harry Potter, fellow veteran of Wizarding Waterloo and Malfoy's longtime compatriot from their schooldays at Hogwarts, is of the decided opinion the Viscount goes much too far when he sets up a Pharo-Banque in his own drawing room, scheming to reverse his endangered fortunes.

Summary
The newly engaged Arabella Tallant is home, with her beloved Mr. Beaumaris not far from her side. But the change from being friendly, while secretly enamoured of him, to betrothed with him leaves her a little dizzy. She can tell he wants her, but can he really respect the girl who proposed an elopement?
Robert Beaumaris first meant to marry Miss Tallant immediately, but the longer practical elements of their engagement delay the wedding, the more he questions himself. Not in choosing Arabella--but in what kind of a husband he will be to such a young innocent. Can she really bring the better man out of him in the long term?
Fortunately, Arabella comes by her wits and sense naturally, and around her family they find a way forward..

Georgette Heyer's endings come a bit like a notable whip's neat gesture--with a crack. Sometimes they even leave a little (tiny little) bit to be desired. I've doodled some epilogues to bring to a close some of the questions I'm left with after some of the novel's officially close. Also, a healthy amount more kissing, etc.
All historical inaccuracies and subtler psychological treatments my own.
