    Summary

    Caitlyn never expected what she'd find out after coming to America once she graduated from oxford. She knew she was going to visit her family for a holiday before settling down and finding a job. She didn't expect to be thrown into work once she got there, or how hard living in prohibition would be, or meeting a woman at a jazz club she'd been invited to by her boss.

    Plus, there was the fact that her parents kept a secret from her she isn't sure she was meant to unwrap. Then again she didn't know how they thought she wouldn't figure it out.

    Summary

    Hubert von Vestra has a problem: he's attempting to secure a political alliance for the Empire via marriage, only to discover that many of Edelgard's romantic prospects believe her to be already married—to him. The easiest way to dispel these rumors is to get married himself, but Hubert has long known himself to be a homosexual.

    The solution he arrives at is simple: enter into a fake marriage with the equally queer cabaret dancer Dorothea Arnault.

    Dorothea, long seeking a way out of the poverty she was born into, agrees. However, the longer she's ingrained in palace life, the more wrapped up she finds herself in Edelgard and Hubert's political machinations, becoming drawn further and further into a world of secrets, spies, and intrigue.

    Summary

    It reeks of poverty and marcid people. All too much for your wealthy heart to handle, as if some resolution, your mother lets you know you’ll be going to a party strictly for “better off” people to possibly make friends, still, not happening.. but maybe going won’t be such a bad idea.

    Summary

    Waiting tables at a popular Jazz establishment, Seonghwa passed for a regular flapper girl but the moment she laid eyes on Hongjoong, a Jazz singer who looked a bit too wealthy considering his recent debut in the scene, she realized she was not the only one with secrets.

    Many stolen glances, a flirty conversation and the consecutive warm farewell later, she discovered the note that the charming singer left for her to find, containing a promise to see her again, but who was to say whether he's just a big flirt or a man of his word…

    Summary

    Anthony Crowley and Aziraphale meet in 1918 on opposite sides of enemy lines. Crowley fights for the Germans, Aziraphale for the British. They both realize they don't actually want to fight in a war they both consider to be highly unnecessary, and join forces. Throughout the war, the two of themwind up cracking codes for the British, dabbling in some light espionage, and (of course), falling in love. The war ends, and things fall apart when a death in the family forces Aziraphale to consider his life, and unfortunately those considerations don't include Crowley. Ten years later, Crowley is a private detective in New York City--he's carved a life for himself here, and is doing a great (read: terrible) job of forgetting a certain wartime romance. He certainly wasn't expecting a certain angel to show up on his doorstep unannounced. Can our boys solve crime together like the good ol days, and heal ten years of pining?

    tldr: ineffable husbands become unlikely allies during ww1, break up, and reunite in the roaring twenties

    Summary

    Reader is a man in the 1920s. He's a bit of a petty criminal, and he's got a preference for men even if he can't really get them at this time (period). So what'll he do when a hot, male, skeleton talks him up in a bar and offers him a job he can't refuse. It's illegal, he'd be working under him, and it pays well.

    This is too good to be true, but fuck it. Dreams don't come from nothing.
