    Summary

    Caranthir sighs, disgusted, and sits on the bed, as far as he can get from Celegorm without appearing like he’s halfway to crawling out of his skin. “I didn’t come back to life so I could hear how much my dying traumatized you.”

    “You fucking bastard,” says Celegorm, and lunges.

    [When Caranthir is reborn into Valinor, he must deal with everything he left behind in Beleriand- the annoying brothers, the overbearing parents, the family he lost and will never regain.

    But there are things that Caranthir does not know. There are lies that have not yet been unwound. There are mercies he has never expected. It takes orange trees, infuriating brothers, silver ribbons and unseasonal thunderstorms, but slowly Caranthir learns precisely how wrong he is.]

    Summary

    When Petunia Dursley refused to take Harry in she forfeited his birthright protection, so Dumbledore took the baby to the safest place he knew: Hogwarts.

    The applicable staff (mostly just… not Snape) took Harry in on a rotating schedule as he grew from baby to toddler to child. They traded extra credit for babysitting among the older students, and Harry grew up knowing a few dozen different laps that were safe and warm to nap in.

    This was a Harry who grew up among books, among old transient walls and learned professors. They gave Binns night duty sometimes, and let him talk young Harry to sleep. This was a Harry whose world changed, on principle, daily. The stairs moved. The walls became doors. You had to keep your eyes open–you had to pay attention. So he did.

    He grew up in a school. Knowledge was power, but knowledge was also joy. This was his sanctuary. There was magic in his world from birth.

    Summary

    “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Alex mutters under his breath, swallowing the crisps and shoving the biscuits into the refrigerator with the severed hand. “I break into the house of a probably psychotic serial killer, and he comes home.”

    Alex was just looking for a place to stay. He never expected to find a home.

    Summary

    It's Diana's birthday and Anne Shirley is determined to make everything go swimmingly. A picnic with her bosom friend among the golds and crimsons of September is just the thing. It's important to keep an eye on the weather, of course, whenever one makes outdoor plans. Failure to do so is simply a siren call to the Fates.

    She really should have remembered that umbrella.

    Summary

    All in all, it was a highly eligible match and Mary was quite pleased with herself for securing it. She might wish Mr. Collins paid more attention to his scriptures and the writings of the great theologians than to the edicts of Lady Catherine, but Mary's own scholarship in that area was more than sufficient to remedy the lack.

    Summary

    Once, everyone knew that it was best to keep a bit of cold iron ready, and that one should never, ever, insult the Fair Folk.

    Now, Darcy's family is one of the few left in England with enough Sight to see things as they really are.

    Such as the fact that Miss Elizabeth Bennet is not at all human.

    Summary

    That ‘occasional letter’ that Nightingale had requested of me for his running interference on my behalf with the old sticks at the Folly was turning out to be more than a little taxing. What with being seconded to amateur sleuths as their personal assistants. And now he expected me to file reports. Still a Berrycloth-Young laughs, or at least only moans quietly, in the face of adversity. He also asks for a good strong drink.

    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.)
