Summary
"March 2, 1810. . .
Today, I met the man I’m going to marry."At the age of eight, Genim “Stiles” Stilinski showed no signs of Great Beauty. And even at eight, Stiles learned to accept the expectations society held for him--until the evening when Derek Hale, the handsome and dashing Alpha of the Hale pack, solemnly kissed his hand and promised him that one day he would grow into himself, that one day he would be as beautiful as he already was smart. And even at eight, Stiles knew he would love him forever.
But the years that followed were as cruel to Derek as they were kind to Stiles. Stiles is as intriguing as the Duke boldly predicted on that memorable day--while Derek is a lonely, bitter man, crushed by a devastating loss. But Stiles has never forgotten the truth he set down on paper all those years earlier--and he will not allow the love that is his destiny to slip through his fingers . .

Summary
Why accepting a ride home from a relative stranger even in the 19th century was not a good idea (or how Jensen thought he was an Alpha until Jared set him straight...with the use of his knot).
AN: Yeah, read with a grain of salt as I'm no history buff ;-)
Historical version of the following prompt from SPN Kink Meme:
Jensen's parents always warned him against hitchhiking, but when his friends flake out on him at a party, his phone gets wrecked and he misses the last bus, he feels he has no other choice if he wants to try and get home.
When alpha Jared gives him a ride home, Jensen's body reacts by going into heat, Jensen's first, it's also the moment he realizes he's an omega, instead of an alpha or beta as he expected to be. Jared tries to resist, but the pull of an unclaimed Omega is too much, and he ends up knotting and claiming Jensen. When Jensen comes to his senses, he runs away, and Jared feeling guilty as it is, lets him go.
Only six months later when Jensen goes in his second heat, nothing seems able to help, because only the alpha that claimed him can release him from his heat.

Summary
When young Lord Anthony Stark learns Steven Rogers has enlisted in the army, he thinks he's seen the last of his tiny, headstrong, haughty stable boy. But four years later, Lord Stark gets an unexpected visit from Steve, whose mother has fallen gravely ill and into financial ruin. Even more unexpected, Steve agrees to a shocking proposal: they will marry, giving Steve the necessary funds to save his mother, and Tony the much-needed reprieve from harassing would-be suitors. It is a business arrangement, nothing more. But as time goes on and circumstances arise, Tony begins to learn that keeping his heart away from his husband is easier said than done.

Summary
1917. Craiglockhart, a mental hospital in Scotland. Erik Lehnsherr is a Siegfried Sassoon-esque World War I poet, and Charles Xavier (Wilfred Owen) is a fellow patient at the hospital who turns out to share more than Lehnsherr's gift for poetry. Everyone's still a mutant, but the origins of the mutations are a peculiar form of shellshock, and (given the dates) major hunks of folks' backstories are different.

Summary
You see a tired smile on his face, his fists clenched tight on his side as he looks right back at you. He looks weary, as if his youth were drained out of him after years of leading. You feel the sickening guilt settling heavily in your stomach when you see it, and you readily wait for the punishment, wait for death, because you know that you deserve it.
But he smiles, wider now, body quivering under the weight of his crown and cape as he says,
“Welcome back, brother.”

Summary
Okay guys, here's the deal: in an ill-fated attempt to download this ebook, I accidentally deleted the file. Irrevocably. Which means that, though I can put the file back up as a new work, all your beautiful comments (and kudos, and bookmarks) are lost.
I FEEL SO, SO TERRIBLE ABOUT THIS. The comments were the best part of the whole endeavor; I'm heartbroken to lose them. If anyone is willing to re-comment, or, say, would like me to send them an email copy of their old comments to re-post, I will love you forever. If not, please accept my most abject apologies.
Summary: 1955. Under the placid veneer of suburban playparks and middle-class conformity churns a hidden London: femmes and butches dancing close in basement bars; clandestine love between women. To Sherlock Holmes, struggling private detective and mistress of disguise, it’s a realm she renounced years before. To Johnnie Watson, daredevil ambulance driver turned auto mechanic, it’s become a little too familiar. But when someone is murdered in the washroom of the city’s most notorious lesbian club, the investigation will lead both women to reconsider their assumptions about themselves, each other, and the world in which they live.
