Summary
Andrew purposefully steps where he knows the floor creaks. Nathaniel doesn’t startle. Instead, a slow, creeping smile edges his lips. His eyes are bright and icy and blue when he turns to direct his attention to Andrew.
“You’re late,” Nathaniel says, gesturing with his bloody knife.
Andrew doesn’t speak. He just cocks his pistol and raises it to point at Nathaniel’s head.
Or: Nathaniel is a mafia boss. His situationship is a federal agent. It's complicated.

Summary
It began, as so many dreadful things do, at a party.
Elizabeth Bennet’s first impression of Fitzwilliam Darcy is… unfavourable. Her second and third impressions are hardly any better. He’s aloof and haughty and casually insulting, yet she keeps catching glimpses of something deeper in his character. Which is the only possible explanation for why she can't seem to get him out of her head.
Free-spirited artist Elizabeth is everything Darcy disapproves of, yet he finds himself captivated by her... and quite desperately attracted. Try as he might he can't stop himself from wanting her, or being drawn back again and again as she works on a mural for his new offices. He can't seem to stay away from her, or stay out of his own way in his attempts to connect with her.
When the consequences of Darcy’s actions bring the sexual tension between himself and Elizabeth to a head they both think that will be the end of it. Yet circumstances and their own desires keep bringing them together and slowly, gradually, they learn to see beyond those first impressions and forge an understanding—a new, tender understanding that comes just at the moment when Elizabeth’s family finds itself facing a terrible crisis.

Summary
There were times, like now, when it was just him and Damen alone, talking in the muted light of their bedroom, no lies or pretense between them, that Laurent could do nothing but marvel at how they had arrived here. At the easy closeness, the easy intimacy, which had grown between them. Grown against all odds and against Laurent’s and, whether he’d admit it or not, Damen’s best intentions. Like a weed.
Or like ivy, Laurent mused.

Summary
At the mere age of sixteen, Maximilian Croix has been pronounced as dead.
Despite the Duke of Croix's extravagant funeral, the expensive flowers, and the sacred grave that had been hidden from the public out of supposed grief, the only one who truly mourned for her was Riftan Calypse.
Five years later, when the dragon campaign for Sektor was at its most brutal peak, Riftan and his ranks endure devastating losses and are in dire need of support. How could a mere army of humans defeat the king of all beasts? It was a question Riftan was yet to answer. Everyday, their losses outweighed their victories, and everyday, Riftan looked for reasons to continue on fighting.
Just when their spirits have dimmed, a glimmer of hope was seen in the horizon.
Nornui, the center towers of magic, sent reinforcements in order to help the Allied Forces. The army was relieved at the sight of more food, supplies, and a barrage of the best sorcerers in the tower who could help with the extermination of Sektor and tip the battle in their favor.
As the troops celebrated, Riftan could only stare at the one wizard with the shockingly familiar red hair.

Summary
In an attempt to diffuse the rising tensions between Akielos and Vere, Prince Auguste invites a group of Akielon ambassadors to the Veretian court. He expects many things to come out of this visit: trade agreements, festivities and celebrations, and perhaps the emergence of better diplomatic relations between the two nations. What he did not expect, however, was for his younger brother to take an interest in the Crowned Prince of Akielos.
AKA: The fic where Laurent is a reserved, bookish, hero-worshipping boy who meets Prince Damianos for the first time.
