Summary
At an adoption fair, Anya selects Ilya Rozanov to adopt her. But Anya comes with her own built in best friend, a black cat who has selected Shane Hollander as her new cat dad. What follows is, in no particular order: a brief fake dating scene, the animals parent-trapping our heroes, weekly dinner dates so the animals "don't miss each other," cat-sitting, a lot of yearning, and finally a love confession.
A one-shot regular guy AU where an unlikely animal friendship brings Ilya and Shane together (magically? it's unclear).

Summary
Set in the aftermath of the final battle in Onyx Storm, this three-chapter fic envisions Garrick Tavis finding Imogen Cardulo struggling after the loss of her best friend. Alone at a midland outpost with nothing to do, they share dinner, drinks, dancing, and finally, some real feelings. Dragons have opinions, as they do. Imogen tries to fist fight Garrick, as she does. Garrick loves Imogen, as he always has.
Sample:
"What happened to taking it easy?" Chradh asks."
What? I don’t have patrol until tomorrow. Is there a threat I should be aware of?"
He snorts. "Your own idiocy if you get too drunk with Imogen, and we both know it," he answers.
"Okay, well. I’m not trying to get drunk with Imogen for that reason," I argue.
"You’re always trying to get drunk with Imogen for that reason."
“I’ll get more beers,” I say to Imogen, rather than continuing this discussion with Chradh. -

Summary
Xaden Riorson has lots of experience planning high-stakes, secret missions that would lead to his death if the wrong person found out, and so when he recruits his best friend Garrick Tavis and brother Liam Mairi to help him deliver a replacement armoire to Violet Sorrengail after their one night together destroyed hers (and set half the forest on fire), he is expecting it to be an easy Saturday task. Garrick and Liam, however, are all too delighted to make it as difficult for Xaden as possible.
One-shot, Xaden POV. Focuses mostly on Xaden, Liam, and Garrick and their friendship as Xaden tries to convince them to help him. Mostly based in canon but with some extrapolating about their shared history. Short appearances by Sgaeyl, Ridoc, and discussion of Imogen.
Sample:
“Do you think it’s wise to open the door to anyone who knocks?” I drawl slowly, careful to appear as though my heart isn’t racing just at the sight of her.
She glares at me. “Lightening wielder, remember?” Gods, she is so willing to fight with me. It’s intoxicating.
“He does, actually!” Garrick says, cheerfully. “So where should this go?” -

Summary
A re-work of Season 3 of Bridgerton, starting with Colin's travels and the realization that he cares for Penelope. Alternating between Colin and Pen's viewpoint as they grapple with the things he has said about her in the past, what she envisions for her future, and how he discovers her big secret, all the way until a surprise confession to Lady Whistledown's most dogged pursuer. No Lord Debling or "finding Pen a husband" plot, just two friends finding their way to love with a mix of show and book references. This can be read almost as a script of just the Polin storyline for Season 3.
Sample:
Pen squirmed. His words were loaded with what felt like layers of meaning she was incapable of deciphering. "Your ink-stained fingers," he continued. "Your clever way with words. I have always loved your letters, read them over and over again." This, at least, made Pen's heart melt with happiness. To have Colin confess to her that he re-read her letters, like she did his, well, if it weren't under these circumstances, she might have died from happiness.
Colin suddenly groaned. "My god, my brothers were right!"
Dear god, the Bridgerton brothers knew?
