Summary
“Sophie’s at the apartment right now. She’ll be so relieved to know you're awake,” she then said as she smiled at him, using her hand to gently continue brushing Benedict’s limp hair off his forehead.
But Benedict’s smile only twisted higher as he frowned up at her, the first sign something was wrong, and he gave her a confused smirk. Like she’d said something funny that he didn’t understand.
“Who’s Sophie?” he asked, simply.
(OR: What if Violet had shown up during Anthony and Sophie’s first meeting? A mini AU fic of Is He Mine?)

Summary
Alone and pregnant, abandoned by the father of her child and the man she loves, Sophie chooses to swallow her heartbreak and forget all about Benedict Bridgerton. Never fully understanding why he would suddenly turn his back on her, leaving her to raise their son alone. Only, it turns out, the reason he abandoned her in the first place was because he quite literally forgot who she was.
(Inspired by the webcomic A Child That Looks Like Me)

Summary
An offer of marriage is not what Sophie was expecting when she came to collect payment on a debt owed to her late father, but with an all out gang war ready to start and enemies in the shadows eying her newly inherited seat on the Commission, even she knows it's an offer too good to refuse.

Summary
How is he supposed to tell her? “Well, you see Sophie, I’m not currently speaking to my family after spending the better part of the last seven years of my life addicted to multiple substances that finally culminated in a near fatal overdose. And said overdose occurred days before the anniversary of my father’s death. So, let’s just say I have recently decided to voluntarily estrange myself from them, all in the hopes that I never have to have any tough conversations ever again. Don’t worry though, I’ve been running away from my problems ever since I was sixteen and my therapist has already repeatedly told me it's a terrible way to manage my stress and personal problems.”
Instead, he lies.
(or: Benedict Bridgerton finally finds himself a stable romantic relationship for the first time in his life, only problem is that he’s technically not supposed to date until he’s been sober for at least a year.)

Summary
Jinu died—he sacrificed himself, surrendering his soul to Rumi to save the people and repair the Honmoon. Or so he thought. Instead of oblivion, he wakes in a strange limbo, caught between worlds.
Time loses meaning as he drifts, lulled by the haunting beauty of Rumi’s voice echoing through the void. He doesn’t know how long he remains, listening, yearning, until at last Rumi’s voice calls to him—not with a song, but a command. Come back. And somehow, impossibly, he does.
Or—
An AU where Jinu is transformed into Rumi’s sword and strangely soul bound to her.
And after four hundred years, it is Rumi—and perhaps her friends—who teach him not just how to survive, but how to truly live again. With him, danger follows.

Summary
Rumi watched as the figure, adorned in his black hanbok and gat, descended from above like an angel of death. Jinu. There was no mistaking it. It was actually him. It was clear he was in his demon form. She could see the glow of his golden eyes, looking right at her.
“Pray for me now…” The chanting increased. Loud and deep.
This wasn’t right.
Something was wrong.
Abruptly, like a puppet who had its strings cut, Jinu fell to the ground, landing harshly on the stage with a resounding thud.
The crowd screamed.

Chemistry of a Car Crash by HildegardtheB

Summary
Over a decade ago, Jaime Lannister and Brienne Tarth were actors on the culturally iconic and certifiably cheesy, teen drama "Westerosi" (think of a slightly more obscenity-laced "Degrassi" ). They played Alyce “Dunc” Duncan and Roman Webber -- enemies who become begrudging friends and eventually fall in love.
Their chemistry on the show is off-the-charts, and Jaime and Brienne soon become "Westerosi’s" it-couple. However in real life, the two barely tolerate each other -- and that’s on a good day. Not surprisingly, when their term on the show is up, they part ways expecting never to speak again.
Flash forward to ten years after their final show. Jaime is involved in a horrific car crash. During a night of black despair, he calls Brienne. She is shocked. And suspicious. And doesn’t know what to say. Because they despise each other. They utterly and completely despise each other. Well … don’t they?

Summary
James Buchanan Barnes is no longer the Winter Soldier.
James Buchanan Barnes still sometimes feels like there’s gaps in his memory, like he’s missed something, like he just doesn’t get it.
Like now. Because there’s a dark-haired woman rummaging around his kitchen, and a blonde woman playing with his cat on his living room floor, and a very big, very bearded man drinking vodka on his couch.
And he has no idea who any of them are.
(Or: everyone’s favorite ex-Hydra disaster couple has to deal with Nat’s ex-Red Room disaster family).
