Summary
“You may be nothing to them,” he spoke slowly, carefully, “but not to me.”
She raised her head slightly, eyes flickering to meet his in an instant. Her hands loosened their grip on one another, shock replacing tension. The firm expression she was trying so hard to maintain collapsed in an instant, her lips parting and beginning to quiver.
“I don’t quite understand, master,” she tried in vain to speak steadily, her skin growing hot in embarrassment when she realized how frail she sounded.
“I called you here, Rey, because I need your assistance.”

Summary
In a Manapunk Thedas, on an early spring evening, Dr. D. P. Thalrassian (Inventor and Purveyor of Lyrium-Fueled and Clockwork Contrivances Most Unique) gets lost, and finds himself back to chest with a rather large, kidnapping miscreant, bearing a talisman that creates mystica such as he’s never seen—and despite the fact that, like all mystical devices in Thedas, it’s powered by the same medium: liquid or gaseous lyrium.
The good doctor is in quite a fix, due—in no small part—to his mysterious and secretive business partner sending him a cryptic note with cryptic directions, leading to a pub called The Spurned Chevalier, in a rather suspect sector of Minrathous. But eventually, the brute hauling him through the Minrathous night will slip-up. And when he does, well . . . tame recent years aside, Dr. D. P.Thalrassian’s still a dab-hand at mystical dueling. And, thanks to the skill of his troublesome business partner, wields a unique and powerful gauntlet that’s more than up to any mystical challenges. Even giant, brute-abductors.
Title from the Marilyn Manson song (edited version, to keep things SFW . . . for now).Series

The Reminiscences of Martin Blackwood, Post Mortem by AuralQueer
Fandoms: The Magnus Archives (Podcast)

Summary
Martin Blackwood is a reporter for The Observer newspaper. He’s a normal enough man, and he’d like to keep it that way. He doesn’t have much reason to suspect anything too far out of the ordinary when he heads down to University College Hospital on a hunch to visit the man who may or may not be dead.
The man’s name is Jonathan Sims: a failed academic by all accounts, though what he’d been doing before the explosion that threw him into a six month coma is at the mercy of baseless public speculation. Now he’s lying in an empty ward with no heartbeat, dreaming.
It seems like enough to fill a slow news day.
A Victorian AU. Herein lies artistic licence, ghosts, and the slowest burn you ever did see.

Summary
1778. She just arrived in London to visit her relatives, learn about the life her mother and her Uncle didn't want to talk about. She learned about their lineage and the past of her family, and the ugly side of the rich and important people of London, the TON.
Even after a successful debut to the ton, it seems like she was still on her way to spinsterhood. Then she met her cousin's brooding friend, Lord Sasuke of the Uchiha. Arrogant, a well-known rake, brooding...did she mention he was always brooding?
Will it be a reason to probably extend her stay indefinitely or just leave completely?

Summary
Viktor arrives at the soiree of the season. While he is less than thrilled, a surprise makes his evening much better.
Heading to the table once more, Viktor waited until the server assisted those ahead of him. The band had struck up a tune and several couples headed for the dance floor. He turned around and watched the dancers waltz around in the open. His eyes darted from pair to pair, and he recognized a few before his gaze stopped.
That’s when he saw him.
The young man appeared to be an angel descended from the heavens. His tan plaid jacket complimented his jet black hair perfectly, the golden wire-framed glasses giving him a glowing appearance. Viktor admired his slender figure and the way his vest hugged his upper body. His hands seemed delicate under the white gloves he wore, but the way he held his date in his arms suggested admirable strength.
Viktor was instantly smitten.
