Summary
“Your Majesty,” Rodmilla curtsies, all simpering servility. “I too was horrified to learn of my servant’s outrageous pretence and I assure you, she shall be severely punished.”
"I meant yourself, Baroness," Queen Marie's voice cuts like a dagger in the night. "Accusing your own daughter of being a servant, and in front of the whole court too. I wonder if you have not indulged in too much of the wine."
…
In which the Queen of France knows better than the Baroness de Ghent and Danielle gains a powerful friend. Fix-It Fic.

Summary
“Steve Rogers. I haven’t thought about him in…God, at least ten years. Probably longer."
“Who is he?” Sharon asks, and perches on the corner of his desk, hands folded in her lap. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Bucky clears his throat, tosses the sticky note onto the desk. “Steve was…my college boyfriend. We almost got married.”It's been fifteen years since Bucky Barnes left Steve Rogers standing in a New York airport and never saw him again. Those fifteen years have brought him wealth and stability; everything his lower middle class Brooklyn upbringing had not provided. He is happy. He doesn't want for anything.
He doesn't need anything.
That's about to change.- Language:

Summary
Uhtred knew they were coming seconds before they descended on them from the tree lines.
Cold dread seized his heart, a full-grown panic that made him dizzy. This was an impossible position to defend, he knew it. He grabbed for the handle of his weapon and, for a fraction of a heartbeat, looked at Alfred, who was looking back at him with wide eyes, pale and fragile, clearly unprepared. Uhtred drew his sword.
“TO YOUR WEAPONS!” he shouted from the depth of his chest. “DEFEND THE KING WITH YOUR LIVES!”

Summary
Lord Voldemort only cares about himself. And that includes his Horcruxes.
Or in other words:
Voldemort realizes Harry is his Horcrux and it changes everything.
Also:
Harry goes missing after touching the Cup in the Triwizard Tournament. Draco finds him three weeks later in Malfoy Manor.
This is a Dadmort fic with a side helping of Drarry (parent-child relationship for Voldemort and Harry, romantic relationship for Harry/Draco). Everyone is pretty soft in this fic. Harry is soft. Draco is soft. Even Voldemort is soft. Comparatively, anyway.
A cuddly fic with Stockholm Syndrome vibes.
