    Summary

    Leaning back against the library door, she closed it as softly as she could, and then uttered a soft ‘ugh’.

    “The universal sound of Christmas cheer, I gather.”

    At the flat words that were spoken to the far right side of the room, Clara whirled and saw Lord Beckett, sitting at the desk by the window, evidently making the most of the dying daylight.

    ~~~

    Lady Clara Thorne is dismayed when guests come to stay with her family for the Christmas period. She's even more dismayed to find that her would-be suitor has brought a friend, Lord Cutler Beckett, who happens to be her exact brand of unpleasant. For that couldn't possibly end well, could it?

    Summary

    An AU of my James Norrington/OC story, Catch the Wind, prompted by a reader on Tumblr, in which Elizabeth (and not James) is the one to find Theodora Byrne after she falls into the world of Pirates of the Caribbean. Untrusting of this strange newcomer, her behaviour, and her motives, as well as what her intentions might be as far as the Swanns are concerned, James vows to keep a close eye on her so she can get up to no mischief. Then, after a time, he can't help but watch her anyway.

    Will only follow the first bit of the story, up to the events of the first movie - because after a certain point it would just converge with Catch the Wind and end up being the exact same story all over again with one or two changes at most.

    Summary

    Theodora Byrne is cast into the world of Pirates of the Caribbean - and where once, in a different life, this would have had her falling for the surly and duty-bound Commodore Norrington, one small twist of fate now throws her into the path of Lieutenant Groves, instead.

    --

    An AU of my Norrington fic, Catch the Wind. I will update this summary later, I'm mostly just questioning my life choices right now. But hey, it could be drugs.

    Summary

    "You have to come with me," he shook his head.

    His tone offered little room for argument, but she didn't care a bit.

    "Why?" Theodora demanded.

    "Because, Miss Byrne, to the great sorrow of the both of us, my saving you means that you are my responsibility until another steps forward to take over that role. Should you get yourself killed out here through sheer force of foolishness, it is a stain upon my character as well as your own. Now, will you come with me, or will you force me to drag you?"

    **

    When Theodora Byrne wakes up one morning, no longer in her cozy modern bed, but adrift at sea - and on a sea that's home to pirates, both undead and living, no less - she has no choice but to rely on the charity, and the eventual kindness, of Captain James Norrington if she wants to survive. She has no way of knowing the feelings that kindness will soon foster...nor what she'll be willing to risk for a chance to save him from his tragic fate before the end.

    Summary

    Six months of what Bella had deemed purgatory and now here she is, on her way to Volterra; trying to save Edward from himself, meeting the Volturi leaders and their guard - over and over again. Perhaps this, she thinks, is purgatory - her very own personal hell.

    Better luck next time.
     
    Or

    The one in which Bella finds herself trapped in a time loop Groundhog Day-style, reliving her first meeting with the Volturi; trying to escape both the loop and the monarchs in one piece.

    loose.
