Summary

Summary
“It’s time,” Courfeyrac announces with gravitas when Pontmercy doesn’t immediately inquire as to what has him feeling so down, “We’re being evicted.”
Too startled to finish properly chewing his cereal, Marius Pontmercy spills some milk onto his pajamas. The beloved jeans couch is mercifully spared, narrowly averting a disaster of epic proportions. “I don’t even live here, really.”
a.k.a. sometimes family is you, your best friend and his eight friends you move into the house your dead father left you with.

Summary
He’s always been rather slow on the uptake, is the point. That’s what his father was in the habit of saying, anyway, and for the longest time his authority seemed to Grantaire to be beyond questioning. If one does not become fully aware of one’s own feelings in due time, how could anyone expect differently concerning the feelings of others towards oneself? Exactly.
So Grantaire does not notice when Enjolras falls in love with him. It’s not like the guy sits him down and talks about it, God forbid!
a.k.a. Grantaire defends his own obliviousness

Summary
“You ought to get some rest, Mister Jopson.”
He really is not sure what Lieutenant Little wants from him, if it is not this: a hand shoved down each other’s trousers or a body prone for taking, bent over a desk or a cupboard. That is generally what a man like him seeks in a man like Thomas.
“I’ve work to do yet,” he returns, softly.a.k.a. Early in 1846, Thomas Jopson falls in love despite his better judgement.

Summary
Now, there is no Captain Crozier to keep his eyes from wandering too obviously. There is only a charmingly startled Jopson, who hides his surprise quite well. Lesser stewards might have spilled the soup, all that attests to Edward having caught Jopson off guard is a slight splash, one that comes nowhere near to the edge of the pot. Not even Jopson’s face suffers some aberration of expression, he is as cheerfully composed as always, appearing almost regal, to Edward.
'Permission to do just what you would.'
Edward is not certain at all that Jopson knew what he implied when he said as much.
a.k.a. Area man in a constant state of mental agitation.

Summary
Modern AU in Paris in which most of Les Amis are students and all of them are sort of slow on the getting together aspect of relationships, with sociopolitical commentary and medical jabber peppered in between.

Summary
Threatened with the loss of her trust fund allowance, wild child Pansy Parkinson takes her mother up on an offer she can't refuse: a job at the Ministry of Magic as personal secretary to tightly wound bureaucrat Percy Weasley.
The job is demanding, and so is her boss, in ways that Pansy never could have imagined.
When their mutual desires begin to spin out of control, how will Pansy convince her boss that sometimes, the only rules you need to follow are your own?
A loving tribute to the pure and criminally underappreciated magic that is the ParkWeasel ship, and the 2002 film Secretary.

Summary
"Are you certain this is singing?" Bilbo asked, wincing at the cacophony of Lake-town in celebration.
Thorin granted him a smile. "They seem to be. You disagree?"
"Give me a bit of your ale and I might change my mind."
A laugh, an actual laugh! Hard to hear beneath the merriment, but true and strong. Bilbo vowed that instant he would hear that laugh properly. In so noisy a hall, that meant Bilbo would have to make him laugh very loudly indeed.

Summary
I’ll not have a picture, he thinks, gazing grimly at James’ drawn, damaged face. I’ll not have a miniature to tuck inside my breast pocket, or a sketch made on a winter’s evening by the fireside. It will be my own burden to remember him, until such a time as this cursed land takes me, too.
Twenty five men return to England. For Francis, this means making a poor job of keeping James from scuttling his career, and working out what a sea captain might do with himself in the absence of a ship.

Summary
A winter of going back and forth between the city and the court at Richmond. The King is a man in the Classical mould; the weather has turned, and he will be thinking now of his deer, Christmas, his horse and hounds, and it will be their job to bring him those things that pertain to a monarch of the here and now, and not just a chevalier of the Chanson des Saisnes.
I’ll draw the form and model of our battle, Limit each leader to his several charge, And part in just proportion our small power.
