Summary
Mr Elliot, through some minor scheming, has secured himself Anne Elliot’s hand in marriage. Unfortunately ‘death do us part’ comes around much faster than anticipated, in the form of a dagger swiftly separating him from his life.
His Majesty’s Coroner Mr Edmund Simpson investigates the foul murder and quickly finds that most people in Bath prefer Mr Elliot dead to alive. But who did them all the favour in bringing it about? The not-so-bereaved widow? The dashing and very angry rival? The jealous sister? Or someone else entirely with a motive yet to be uncovered?

Summary
I had been on a walk with Flavian, when Bernard and I were both new. We had run into a salamander, and it had ended with me needing sixteen stitches and Bernard unable to sit down for a week. Christopher did warn me—"I shouldn't go if I were you, Hester; hiking is not one of the mandatory subjects"—but I'd trusted my previous experiences with teachers more than I'd trusted Christopher; and besides, my name isn't Hester.
Christopher and the young enchanters go to the circus. Conrad and Flavian go for a walk in the forest. Things go very wrong.

St. Germain crouched next to her, her hearty voice soft in Catherine's ear. “It will make its way out slowly at first, and then all at once. No need to rush it, although it bally well rushed us enough. Do you know the words? Good. Good. You are more ready than you think you are.”
Dragons hatch when they want, and sometimes that is five years too early and into the arms of a terrified teenager.

Summary
"Dearest Gerald," Anthea wrote, "The children are all being very good. They've grown fascinated with the glass factory at the end of the road; I told them they are not to bother the workers, but they may play in the piles of sand outside the factory if no-one tells them not to. The fine sand is such a nice, high-quality sort of sand that there is nothing better for playing in, they tell me, and I have so many fond childhood memories myself of playing in a sand-pit next to our house."

At the Still Point of the Turning World by Lelarin for Coppercrow
Fandoms: Tortall - Tamora Pierce, PIERCE Tamora - Works
24 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
It has been a grueling year of failing crops, and famine, and the daily toil of rebuilding Tortall brick by brick, but Alanna never dreams of those things. They are problems she can still face, so they do not haunt her like he does. They do not appear late at night to torture her with what might have been: too-fleeting visions of Thom older, healthier, happier. In dreams, she sees him walking the halls of the palace at her side, and poring over a scroll in a room at Pirate's Swoop decorated exactly to his tastes, and once, most bitterly, sitting by a sunny window with a copper-haired baby cradled safely in his arms.
-
Suspended between visions of an impossible future and memories of a past she cannot leave behind, Alanna learns to keep moving, and moves the world with her.
