The Measure of a Gentleman by i_ship_an_armada
Sherlock (TV), Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a partner.
Less universally acknowledged is that a single man in possession of very little in the way of fortune may be in want of a partner as well, but John Watson had little time or energy to devote to his own wants or needs...Enter one Mr Holmes...
Please note that I gleefully take great liberties with the laws governing same sex relationships and how they are seen in the Regency Era. As in, it is not an issue at all in this story. At all.

Summary
For those of you who have read "The Book Thief", this is a Larry Stylinson version. I just had to reread the book for my english class and while it has never been one of my favorite books, I like the whole idea behind it so I'm trying this.
~
By his sister's graveside, Louis Tomlinson's life is changed when he picks up single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is "The Gravedigger's Handbook", left there by accident, and it is his first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Louis, with the help of his accordion-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon he is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever there are books to be found.
But these are dangerous times. When Louis' foster family hides a Jew in their basement, Louis' world is both opened up and closed down.- Words:

Summary
Inspired by the wonderful film "An Education", where Athelstan is the innocent young thing studying hard at school and Ragnar is the man nearly twice his age who comes through his life like a hurricane.
Except my version will be decidedly less angsty and more smutty, I do believe.
*A note on the warning: Athelstan is 17, but I thought I'd mark it to be safe. -

Summary
Sherlock/Interview with the Vampire fusion-- London, 1887
Sherlock Holmes is Gentleman Death in silk and lace-- a cold, cynical vampire ever-desperate for something to break the tedium of eternity. He finds it in Dr. John Watson, a depressed war-hero committing slow suicide through drink and the dangers of London's gambling dens.
Their strange friendship is fraught with difficulty from the onset-- but their lives truly take a turn for the macabre when they find themselves at the center of a gruesome (and infamous) murder spree.
..............
“But really Sherlock—You just would have to pick the one with the goddamned hero complex.”

Summary
Enjolras has never showed him anymore than reluctant acceptance. To feel close to him, Grantaire paints and sketches his Apollo as best he can but it's a waste of paint. He can't seem to capture his more than perfect image. Until, without warning, Enjolras starts warming up to him. He touches him more, includes him more deeply into their activities. His Apollo seems to trust him and it's more than he could ask for. Even with his drinking and hisgeneral discare for life, Enjolras seems to find something in him worth smiling at. But how much will Grantaire suffer before Enjolras realizes that his feelings are more than that of friendship? Through their enemies misdeeds and a nasty riot, can they both admit to what they want? Can their friends accept them? Can Jean accept that Grantaire is beyond his reach?
Set in modern day Rouen, France. The boys are all students (except for Feuilly) and they've come together to form the ABC, a group that picks up causes and plans out protests and volunteer work. Very liberal, very people oriented. I'm going to be using real French issues, as well as world wide issues. I'm American, please bear with me.
