    Summary

    When Anthony began dating Edwina, he knew she’d fit the bill.

    Attractive, intelligent, and well-mannered. A fine wife in the making. Perfect to placid his family and perhaps stable enough to quiet the gossip and Lady Whistledown’s ever active twitter.

    When the annual Bridgerton summer holiday rolled around, he had every intention of proposing to Edwina.

    He just did not expect her to bring along her meddlesome sister, Kate.

    Summary

    “Ow!” David yelps, for no reason at all. He’s not even hurt, not really. He’d be surprised if he even had a bruise. Still, he was attacked. By a flying baseball. “Do people often come here to be attacked?!”

    “Hey, are you okay? I am so sorry, I shouldn’t have hit it so late,” a soft voice says from in front of him.

    David looks over just in time to find Puppy-Faced baseball player leaning over into the crowd with a look of none other than puppy-like concern.

    Summary

    His mouth is set in an unhappy line, and she knows he hears it as a sentence she’s passing on him, a just punishment for his crimes. Good, she thinks, yes. I sentence you to live. Live, and find a way to come to terms with it. Live, and never make me watch you ride to your own grave again.

    (Jaime rings the bells, and from there, the future unfolds differently. A story about two tired knights on a slow boat to Tarth, working things out.)

    Summary

    A Love Actually AU.
     
    It's Christmas season in London and everywhere you look, love is causing chaos. From the bachelor Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who on his first day at 10 Downing Street is taken by his extremely handsome (male) deputy chief of staff, to the young graphic designer who's fallen hopelessly in love with his cousin's bride. From an aging rock star and his struggling ex-wife (with some skeletons of her own); to a just-dumped writer who goes abroad to nurse his broken heart only find solace in his tough-talking housekeeper; to two literature professors with a legendary feud who just happen to settle their differences in the spirit of the holidays--love arrives in many forms, shapes, and sizes.

    Two best friends fall in love at university only to be torn apart by demands of family holidays; a MP and his wife rediscover their undimmed love for one another; the head of one of Britain's top corporations struggles with his new role as a single father and has to come to terms with his new and surprising dependence on his second-in-command. Ten stories of love all progress through Christmas to lead up to a dramatic, romantic climax on New Year's Eve.
