Summary
Alicent didn’t make lead principal of the National Ballet by sleeping in. As the weak winter sun crept over the skyline, she was already sat on the charcoal marley floor in a milky pool of light left by the large half-moon windows of the studio’s Eastern wall.
“Based on your overall ‘chill vibe’,” Laena said, with an assessing glance, grinning at Alicent’s raised eyebrow, “I’m guessing you don’t know yet.”
“Know what?” Alicent replied cautiously, her heart dropping to the pit of her stomach. Everything had to go right today. She couldn’t afford otherwise.
“Darling,” she began with a bit of trepidation, “’You Know Who’ is back. Back in London and back at the National Ballet. She’d been offered a Visiting Fellowship.” Alicent felt her blood still in her veins, her ears ringing.
“Rhaenyra,” she breathed.
*******
The Rhaenicent Ballet AU no one asked for.

Summary
Percy tapped his foot nervously as his father stared at him. It was never a great sign when his dad needed to speak with him. Percy was not, by any means, an important part of the Spanish monarchy: fourth son of the king's brother. He was basically a socialite with a memorable ocean-themed back tattoo.
"Did you," his father finally said, "have sex with the heir to the Swedish throne last night?"
Percy laughed. "What? No, of course not."
Oh he had, he so had.

Modern Royals and old college rivals Percy Jackson of Spain, and Annabeth Chase of Sweden meet at a party and get snapped by paparazzi. Their hookup makes the front page. -

Summary
The silence grew heavier and heavier, until Penelope let out with the most broken voice Benedict had ever heard from her “He left me”.
He slowly took her in his arms as she sniffed softly in his shirt.
“We Bridgertons take care of each other” Benedict offered. “If you’re pregnant, that baby will have everything they could ever need”.
Whatever warmth that had started to crawl into Penelope faded in an instant. She got herself free of his arms and fought back the tears. Was that it? Was that his only concern? A hypothetical baby? She thought she was a part of the family, as honorary as the title got. Was that the condition under which she could be a “Bridgerton”? Have Colin’s child? Did he care so little about her as a person if she was not pregnant? Now that Colin had left, she felt like a problem that the Bridgerton family needed to solve. -

Summary
“Yes, but it needed it. It was an absolute shit show Vi, literally!”
“Are you? Are you laughing?” Caitlyn sounded almost amused, maybe.
“Well, yeah. I didn’t think I’d ever hear you swear and say my name like that, Cu—” throat cleared, “Caitlyn.”
Her business partner sighed, “Goodbye Vi. Please tell me when the roof is finished, I’ll be by to take measurements for the rooms and furnishings later this week…” Vi almost hung up the phone but then her colleague —partner? Boss? Definitely her boss, made a funny little humming noise quickly followed by a rather upbeat, “Oh! How do you feel about forest green?”
“Uhhh… am I supposed to feel something for a color?”
OR
While creating homes for other families, Caitlyn and Vi learn that building a family isn't always an easy endeavor. They’ll discover that some things simply cannot be fixed, but can be endured; together.

Summary
When Thor decides to continue to live at home and attend community college nearby after graduating, and Loki weathers bullying at school after coming out as gay, the brothers are pushed closer together after two years of their oppositional interests and social circles keeping them apart. Loki isn't sure what this renewed attention from Thor means, or how he feels about it. Then a traumatic event pulls them ever closer, and things bubble to the surface.
A 2003 emo Loki / jock Thor teen AU.
It hadn’t always been like this. The entire time they attended the same high school, Thor two grades ahead of him, they’d drifted further and further apart, Loki’s persona going darker the sunnier Thor’s got. Thor existed in a world of football games, keg parties, and giggly girls with long, straightened hair and shiny, fruit smelling lip gloss. A good half of which, it was rumored, he’d fooled around with. Loki, on the other hand, was a virgin who couldn't care less about anything that didn’t involve art or music, or did involve the popularity trappings of people who were surely peaking in high school.

Summary
“I’m going on a date,” Jinx says as if she’s getting executed.
“Okay?” Vi confusedly asks, taking a seat on the edge of Jinx’s bed.
“With Ekko.”
“Oh,” Vi smiles at her, which is definitely not the reaction Jinx needs right now, “congrats. I’m sure you’re going to have fun.”
Jinx groans again, pulling at her braids in annoyance.
For reasons that were definitely beyond her control, Jinx ended up agreeing to go on a "practice date" with her lifelong friend Ekko.

Summary
Which is why Wei Wuxian is severely annoyed that one the first day moving in, there's a translucent man staring out his bedroom window.
"Are you kidding me?!" Wei Wuxian huffs, voice bouncing down the landing as he drops his bags with a thud at the top of the stairs.
The man turns from where he's been staring through the dusty pane and looks directly at Wei Wuxian. Their gazes meet and the man's eyes widen like saucers.
In a deep, disbelieving voice, he murmurs, "You can see me?"
"Nope!" Wei Wuxian announces and turns around to march right back down the stairs.
It’s stupid, really. The man is already waiting at the bottom of the staircase when Wei Wuxian gets there.
Wei Wuxian stops dead, eyeing the spectre. The man's eyes narrow triumphantly.
“You can see me," he states.
Wei Wuxian turns around and marches back up the stairs. The man is already there at the top.Series

Summary
Another beat passes and Mr March, preening and delighted, glides down the stairs, arm in arm with his youngest.
And oh.
Laurie’s nearly forgotten that little Amy isn’t quite so little anymore. Of course she’s gone ahead and grown into a young lady, one as beautiful and breath taking as all her other sisters.
He vaguely takes notice of the squeals escaping the lips from the March girls,and the lecture Mr March feels indebted to give even if he’s considered Laurie a practical son for nearly a decade now. He smiles and holds onto Amy for as many photos as the Marchs demand, and he makes sure Amy is steady coming down the stairs of their porch before they walk to his grandfather’s old Jag across the way.
Laurie never takes his eyes off of her.
Amy’s golden hair is done up in some sort of elaborate up-due that he knows she’s always favored for special occasions like these, and the deep violet of her gown makes her emerald eyes all the more piercing. And God, she’s beautiful. And God, Laurie can’t stop staring.
