    Summary

    "Don't be damn sorry. Be better. The lives of many people, including mine, depend on you now, and I won't tolerate you screwing it all up because of your lack of work." As she brought the cigarette to her lips, she realized she might have crossed a line.

    "Do you talk like that all the time ?" Shelby dared to ask with a smug tone that indicated to Toni that the chances of this conversation remaining civil were slim.

    "Like what ?" She shot back immediately, her cigarette hanging limply from her mouth as she faced the singer.

    "Annoyingly. Disrespectfully. I'll let you choose."

    "This is how I behave. And since we have to work together, you should learn to deal with it."

    ---

    In the late summer of 1942, Shelby Goodkind is dispatched undercover to France in a Parisian speakeasy. She meticulously arranged every detail - the singing, the glamour, even the shadow of death. However, what she hadn't anticipated was her meeting with Toni, a talented American pianist who manages to stir her heart against her own will.

    Summary

    When Darcy accepted the job with Stark Industries, she didn’t expect to end up being Howard Stark’s research assistant. But lab accidents will happen when you work for a scientist that is trying to rip holes in space to travel across the galaxy.

    Who knew watching all those old movies on TCM with her grandmother might come in handy for something other than winning at trivia, like helping a modern 21st century woman to fit into the 1940s.

    However, nothing could prepare her for falling for a man she knew would die during the war and being unable to stop it for fear of disrupting the timeline.

    Summary

    Sliding the cotton sheet down, Margaery's smile widened at the glistening sheen of sweat that covered Sansa's skin. The room, enveloped in a soft, intimate glow, bore witness to the aftermath of Margaery's careful plan. She had crushed several pills, carefully folding the tasteless white powder into the pigeon pie that Sansa adored.

    The previous evening, Margaery had surprised the household chef by insisting on making the delicacy herself, all while Sansa, unsuspecting, had eagerly devoured every crumb.

    She was an adorable fool.

    "Your father wants a son so badly," Margaery said, her long eyelashes brushing against her cheek, "A proper Lannister to carry out his honorable name."

    The very last thing that she wanted was to have a child, the spitting image of Joffrey.

    Instead, she wanted his daughter and to bear her child.

    1940s AU | Margaery knows exactly what she wants from her stepdaughter.

    Summary

    The mirror is easily three times his height, twisted metal frame and strange engraved symbols decorating the gilt arch. Harry closes his eyes as he steps into its shadow, adjusting his cloak and biting his lip to keep the smile from overtaking his face as the anticipation builds. When his eyes do open there is a stunned moment of disbelief followed by the sharp intake of air and a crackle of shock up his spine.
    He is not invisible and he is also not alone. Reflected in the mirror, two people stand behind him, tall and solid.
    They watch him intensely, silently following each of his movements as if he is an interesting puzzle they are intent on solving.
    The taller boy is vaguely familiar, for some reason, with deep, dark eyes that appear almost black in his pale, sharp face.
    The shorter boy is holding himself in a way that makes Harry think he doesn’t relax very often, stiff and straight and without a bend to a single limb. He has an angular jaw and a broad chest, but his gaze is hungry and predatory as he stares through the reflection at Harry, as if he would eat him alive if given half the chance.
    Harry is enraptured.
