Summary
The Lady Alanna Daskaz is happy to ignore her noble heritage. She prefers to serve as administrator to Gregory III, king of Askazer-Shivadlakia and a brother in everything but name. But then news arrives from Galia, a small nation over the mountains: the ruling duke has died, and the throne is empty. The same day, an envoy from Galia arrives to inform Alanna that she is now a duchess, the daughter of the duke's only cousin and heir to his title and his throne.
If Alanna is going to straighten this out, she's going to have to go to Galia herself. Dragging her best friend Jerry, the Duke of Shivadlakia, along with her, Alanna arrives to discover that the Palazzo is full of intrigue, and they're in need of strong governance. Surrounded by people she isn't sure she can trust, Alanna finds Jerry's ability to ferret out information useful -- until she discovers Jerry has a few secrets of his own.
There's a lot to fix in Galia, but Alanna doesn't want to become ruler, especially not with a precious new romance blossoming in the shadow of Galia's power struggle. Her best option might be the rumor that the duke had a secret child -- if she can figure out who it is, and how to get them on the throne instead.

Summary
It isn't quite a love triangle. For one thing, Clark's the only one romantic enough to even think the word 'love'. For another, Clark and Bruce would be beating the holy hell out of each other even without Lois' involvement. And if Lois was aware of the secrets they were keeping, she'd be beating the holy hell out of the both of them. Overall, Bruce's visit to Metropolis has been a mixed bag for everyone involved.

Summary
It should have been an easy enough diplomatic mission for the first year of the Enterprise: respond to the call of a planet entering the space age. But when Spock and Scotty unwittingly befriend a local worker, the crew is forced to confront the realities of the quiet planet.
Kanna has never known equality, but that hasn’t stopped her from believing she is meant for a life beyond petty servitude. When a split-second decision lands her onboard the Enterprise, however, she is forced to reckon with an existence of choices beyond what she had imagined. As she struggles to navigate friendships, romantic attachments, and her own ambitions, the world she left behind never truly leaves her, and she comes to discover that the power to forge her own path is never without consequences.

Summary
"Your morality ain't built for rooms like this, Lupin."
In 1977, Hogwarts was a house party whose host had already left. The good wine had been drunk, the furniture rearranged and somewhere in the east wing, the Irish were conducting a negotiation that nobody on the guest list had been invited to.
Remus Lupin finds himself in the orbit of Slytherins who treat the life of the very wealthy the way most people treat card games.

Summary
When the eldest daughter of Eddard and Catelyn Stark is stolen from her bed as a child, the Westerosi media seize upon the investigation, dubbing it ‘the case of the century’. Several years later, tragedy strikes the family again, as Lysa Arryn vanishes into thin air with her son, Robert.
Eighteen years after the Stark Kidnapping, WBI Special Agent Oberyn Martell- investigating the Arryn case- walks into a small coffee shop in Braavos, nearly tripping over his own feet when his order is taken by the girl whose face has been on every 'missing child' poster in Westeros for the last two decades.
When Sansa discovers that she is the missing Stark child, she's suddenly and violently thrust into a media spotlight that she’s in no way prepared for. Amidst reuniting with a family she doesn’t remember and steeling herself to testify against the man who raised her, she meets Jon Snow. He isn’t family- not biologically at least- but he’s a calming presence in the storm that has become her life, and he might be the only person in the world who doesn’t expect anything of her.
The one where Sansa Stark is discovered to be the Westerosi version of the Lindbergh baby, but things turn out better, if more complicated.
