    Summary

    “Yeah, why not?” Rigel says, his grey eyes warming at the thought. “Everyone respects lawyers, because they’re terrified of them, and people have to listen to what they say. Your success depends on you, and it doesn’t matter what your personality is like, because if you’re good people will seek you out for advice anyway.”

    “That could be—yes,” Percy replies, suddenly seeing the image in his mind’s eye. “Attorneys make a good chunk of galleons, too, and as a lawyer I could really help people. The Ministry is bound by the laws of the wizarding world, as they should be, but the lawyers make those laws. I could write the laws that everyone would have to follow!”

    They aren’t wrong. But, as Percy learns, the world is a little more complicated.

    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    Beca is an up and coming producer, Chloe Beale is pop’s newest princess. This is the story of how they fall in love.

    "Beca Mitchell, producer of just-barely-notable-but-growing-in-notoriety songs like “Lightning Street” by Albion Avalon and “Esorcus” by Palindromes, is a bit of a mystery player. When you Google her name, you’ll see her production credits on Snoop Dogg’s Christmas CD, and a few other major artists from her time with Residual Heat. You’ll see a few grainy clips of her DJing at some of the hottest L.A. clubs, showing off a flare for that perfect fade from one song to another over a thumping and heavy bass. You’ll even find a few of those mixes perfected into glorious mash-ups that hipsters the world over crave."

    "The Billboard Hot 100 chart’s record for most number-one singles from one album to appear is five, shared by Katy Perry and Michael Jackson. The song playing on the radio as Chloe Beale sits down for an interview in Chicago, just before she blows the doors off the at-capacity United Center, is Beale’s fourth from her second album, Cotillion."
