    Summary

    “Alina, was it?” Aleksanders voice comes from behind her, the door shutting with a soft click as he steps into the room.

    She doesn’t jump. Despite knowing that the door should have creaked. It always has. No matter how many times Mal’s dad, their dad, has tried to fix it. She’s too used to the way he sneaks up on her.

    You’re supposed to be in New York” She says, ignoring his question. Her name is the least of their concerns.

    Aleksander doesn’t seem to agree. “And you told me your name is Alya. I suppose we’re both liars”

    Wiping her still wet hands on the towel she turns to lean against the counter, meeting his eyes with a shrug. “Alya is a diminutive of Alina”

    “That was a well prepared answer” Aleksander says, resting his hand on the back of a chair. The small table in the breakfast nook acting like a separation between them. “Do that a lot then?”

    She tilts her head, like she’s considering his question. “Lie about my name? Or fuck my boyfriends brother?”

     

    Or: Alina goes home with her boyfriend for the holidays and realizes that she might know his brother a bit better than she thought.

    Summary

    After all the ups and downs of the main story, Elizabeth and Darcy are engaged and, at last, get married. Here Elizabeth experiences her first glows of happiness in love. There is no plot, I am literally just indulging in an opportunity to have Lizzy and Darcy flirt all the time. Scenes from their engagement and early days of marriage. Maybe someday these scenes will form the beginning of some greater story, but for now I hope you enjoy something a little sweet, and a little romantic.

    Summary

    Instead of Susan, it is Edmund that Caspian gravitates toward during the Pevensies’ second trip to Narnia. And events unfurl dramatically differently because of it.

    As it worked out, this fic could very easily have another title: “Five Times Caspian and Edmund Almost Kissed -- And One Time They Did”.
