    Summary

    Her Majesty Leia Organa, desperate to save her son from the path he's being lured down, insists he marry. When he chooses a random servant who rejects his proposal, his fascination with her destroys Snoke's plans... and Rey's.

    "“Her… Ben, you don’t even know her!” Leia groaned slowly and stepped back to lean against her desk. She also stepped on the train of her gown but who cared at this point. With arm across her stomach and the other hand at her forehead, Leia looked over at the servant again. Fair enough of face, the woman didn’t appear to be wearing any cosmetics but that wasn’t unusual for a servant. “What’s your name?”
    ”Rey, Your Majesty,” and she swallowed as she dipped again in a respectful curtsy. There had to be a way out of this. Out the window? Well that would end the immediate situation but would probably create more problems. “With all respect, I am unable to marry His Highness.”
    That was likely the worst thing that Rey could have possibly said in that situation. She could see her mistake almost at once, in the way Ben's eyes glittered and he leaned forward, putting palms together with his fingertips just grazing his lips. For with that phrase, Rey committed the fatal flaw of being interesting."

    Summary

    Albert Peyton did not hold humanity in disdain or malice. Indeed, he did not regard them in any particular way. They simply were.

    Thomas Fenwick simply was. And yet, so much more.

    Summary

    Needing to clear his head, Pyeong looks for the most secluded balcony the gentleman's home can offer. It's a chilly night in London, the cold breeze helping him to sober up a little faster than the warm nitrous-rish air inside the parlor. He doesn't go unnoticed for long; his mentor, Dr. Liston, joins him not long after to sober up as well. As the night progresses and their talks grow long, Pyeong gets to know Robert Liston on a more personal level... maybe a little more personal than he expected.

    Summary

    “It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune is dangerous only once he learns how to weaponize it.”

    When the naive, awkward daughter of a barber-surgeon strikes an unlikely friendship with the notoriously disagreeable Lord Beckett during her time aboard the HMS Endeavour, her tale darkens as she’s suddenly drawn deeper into his world of ambition and betrayal.

    **

    Starts off pre TCBP, and ends AWE.
    Follows the events from The Price of Freedom with an eventual, adult-oriented twist.
    Partial Cutler Beckett backstory, partial coming-of-age trope for an 18th century woman.
    A healthy dose of Pride & Prejudice references.

    Summary

    In the eyes of our Lord we are all equal, but we are far different from our father. We are selfish, cruel and unspeakable greedy. Everyone wishes to be the shepherd to herd the flock, to be the one to led sheep to slaughter house and sell their lives for another pound in their pocket.

    No one wants to believe they're a sheep, meaninglessly following their woolly friend in front of them, and no shepherd would every want his sheep to realise their purpose. I believe that if they ever did they'd revolt against their devilish shepherds and return to their true leader. The one who made the grass they gobble, the streams they guzzle and the Earth they lay their weary heads on.
    God.

    Summary

    "Are you not frightened, my lady? Are you not afflicted, or repulsed by these wicked scars?" Erwin gestures to the empty space where his right arm is supposed to be, the sleeve of his shirt fluttering in the wind. "Should you choose to stay, you will spend the rest of your days with a ruined, bitter man. You are deserving of far greater happiness, and with this, I shall allow you this final opportunity to take your leave."

    His words are vinegar on his tongue, and his heart thrashes wildly in the expanse of his chest. He looks at you and tries to find any filament of relief in your eyes, but he does not. This tortures him.

    "You are suggesting I seek happiness elsewhere, sir," you begin, and he holds his breath, clutching at every word that's released from your lips. "Yet had it not crossed your mind that I am happy here? That I am happy with you?"

    He looks at the boy, his boy, who watches him with blue eyes fringed with thick black lashes, his full lips curved in a sad smile. As though Hans’ thoughts are written, clear as day, on his face. When we leave, that smile says, things will be back to normal. To pain, and fear, and that crushing emptiness that nothing else in the world can fill. So drink up here, touch, kiss; take what you can in the time you have. Because we all know it won’t last.

    Summary

    "Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death".

    ~~~

    “I am to be a nun,” she whispered, as if saying it aloud might remind her of the vows she would so perilously be close to betraying.
    Josefine’s lips curled in the barest smile. “And tonight, you are a woman.”
    “You think me foolish,” Babette accused.
    Josefine shook her head. “No. I think you are frightened.”
    “Should I not be?”
    Josefine’s gaze flickered over her face, her auburn lashes, the tension in her brow, the conflict in her eyes. Then, ever so gently, she said,
    “Does this truly frighten you?”
    Babette struggled to speak. It should. It should terrify her. But as she looked at the woman standing before her— She realized that it may not be fear that left her breathless.
    It was longing, that much she knew. Whether for Josefine or the opulent life she seemed to inhabit, Babette could not discern. But Josefine had seen it, unmistakably. The amusement in her eyes dimmed. She did not speak, did not push. Instead, she simply pulled her closer, guiding her through the final steps of the dance as the music slowed.

     

    THIS IS A ROUGH DRAFT.

    Summary

    The Jensens live in Crosswick, a remote town in the countryside where everyone knows everyone, and nothing is new or exciting. But when their landlord makes an agreement with new tenants, it causes every kind of excitement to erupt throughout Crosswick. However, their arrival is only the beginning of the village’s new gossip—suspected romances, reckless runaways, devastating secrets, sudden loss… and unfortunately much more. No one’s intentions are truly sincere, for everyone is only looking out for themselves.

    You don’t know what the neighbours know.
