Summary
"On the first day of class, we came into the room. There were only three of us. On his desk there was a yellow vase with blue flowers. He asked us what it was, and we said, 'Yellow blue vase,' of course. He said to us, 'That is almost "I love you" in Russian, and that is probably the most important phrase that I will teach you"
(quoted in "Vladimir Nabokov at Wellesley," Wellesley Alumnae Magazine, Summer, 1971)In 1994, Anatoly Sergievsky sends Frederick Trumper a Christmas card. In 1995, during the World Chess Championship, they meet in Manhattan for a match. In 1999, the century ends, and the American and the Russian are no longer rivals.

Summary
You've always been a bird in a gilded cage, guarded by the finest arms your father's fortune could purchase. Even covered in glittering jewels and gold, the bars keeping you from the world are still bars, and your brief, stolen glimpses of a life free from your father's restrictions only serve to make your yearning stronger.
You're a princess in an ivory tower, hands bound like a doll on display. And in saunters your new bodyguard with eyes like razors and a smirk like a battering ram. To say you're intrigued is a gross understatement. -

Summary
Ég és föld a különbség köztük.
The difference between them is like that between sky and earth.- Hungarian proverb
Erzsébet Héderváry and Roderich Edelstein were not a couple meant to last through the eons, yet their fingerprints linger on each other like smears on a windowpane. And even the most torrential rain cannot wash away something that is not a stain.

Summary
In a war-torn kingdom facing wavering alliances against the growing threat of pirates, the royal family hides behind a mask that barely conceals their dysfunctional lives, including a rapidly destabilising marriage wracked by trauma and all other things that make humans human. The queen finds comfort in a mysterious newcomer to the palace, but secrets are woven thick in the fabric of court, and nothing is what it seems. If the kingdom is to survive, this game must not just be played, it must be won.

Summary
You didn't always have a crush on Phichit Chulanont. Then you watched him leap up in joy, tears welling in his sparkly brown eyes, in the kiss-and-cry after he'd scored high enough to take Thailand to the World Figure Skating Championships—and boom, you'd been a certified PhiChu fan ever since.
You never expected to meet him in person, let alone skate with him. But life has a funny way of surprising you...

Lokasenna by PrincessAutumnArcher (bittersweetling)
Fandom Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), Thor (Movies)
09 Apr 2020
Summary
Loki, Prince of Asgard, Odinson, the rightful King of Jötunheim, God of Mischief, has a very strong concept of propriety--he simply chooses to flout it as he desires. And Loki desires.
A series of Loki oneshots in which his trickster tendencies and chaotic nature are key aspects, along with some humorous reactions from his friends, allies, and enemies. Self-indulgence doth dwell here, but I have an inkling it's enjoyable to more than just the author (hopefully).

Once Upon a Trope by PrincessAutumnArcher (bittersweetling)
Fandom Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
20 Jul 2021
Summary
A series reworking, subverting, and inverting commonly found tropes in fanfiction, especially reader inserts. A real grab bag of popular scenarios and AUs, if you will. Will range from sweet and fluffy to heart-wrenching angst for a variety of fandoms and characters (probably, but I've come to realize that I've got a Type ahaha).

Summary
The two of them walk to the nearest subway station together. Out of nowhere, Freddie asks, “have you ever been to Chicago?”
She blinks at him, trying and failing to make sense of the question in her head. “No. Why?”
He doesn’t look at her, instead preferring to track the streetlights they walk under. “Do you wanna go with me?”

Summary
“How are you feeling? Are you resting?” Anatoly asks, unable to squash his natural tendency to worry.
“I have rested plenty,” Svetlana assures him. She sounds tired. “Actually, Anatoly… Is there anyone else around?”
Anatoly looks around his empty hotel room. “No one,” he says. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing is wrong, I promise,” she says. “But, Tolya… the baby was already born. I’m calling you from the hospital.”
