Summary
When Mr. Charles Bingley rode into Hertfordshire to acquaint himself with Netherfield Park it was on a purely accidental recommendation. Bingley was the sort of open, easy young man whom people would not scruple to share their opinions with, and the solicitor who took it upon himself to advocate for Netherfield could certainly not be blamed for seeing a very desirable tenant in him. Bingley was at that time not yet of age two years and unmarried, but he had the sort of good-humoured and generous character that must recommend him to almost anybody.
[A retelling of P&P from the perspectives of Fitzwilliam Darcy and Charles Bingley.]

Summary
Beaten within an inch of his life by a biker gang, Ethan is saved by a hulking man named Tom with a chainsaw and an indifference for carnage. Except, Tom wasn’t exactly saving Ethan, he was protecting his family’s property from the bikers--and now Ethan has seen too much.
It’s too late to run, and Ethan definitely can’t fight a man with Tom’s monstrous strength. There’s only one thing Ethan can think to do to get out of this alive: make Tom like him.
No, more than that--make Tom want him.

Wayne Family (And Tim!) Christmas Extravaganza! by PinkParagram
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
25 Dec 2025

Summary
Bruce’s brain takes a moment to reboot. “Your parents are in South America?”
“Yes.”
He’s not sure why he’s so surprised – the Drakes are known for their work in archeology, and not much of that can be done locally. Still, he assumed that they took Timothy with them when they left the country for work. It seems a shame to leave him with a nanny this close to Christmas.
“Okay,” he says, erasing the numbers typed into his phone. “What’s your nanny’s number, then?”
“My what?” Timothy looks scandalized.
“Your babysitter? Whoever is in charge of you while your parents are gone,” he clarifies.
“I’m in charge of me when my parents are gone,” Timothy says proudly, his little chest puffing out. “I’m the Man of the House.”
AKA
Tim gets to spend Christmas with the Waynes! This will not have lasting consequences, I'm sure.

Power the Dark Lord Knows Not by Fantismal, Jormandugr

Summary
“Regulus,” Sirius finally said, once he trusted he had his own voice under control, “has never once let me help him, even before I was a filthy blood-traitor. Why the fuck do you think I’d be able to save him now?”
Tomorrow night. Kreacher’s words throbbed inside his head. Regulus will die tomorrow night.
Sirius definitely wasn’t going to be getting any sleep at all this week.
Sirius thought he had cut all ties with his family, but when Kreacher shows up in his bedroom with a dire warning, he's hardly able to let his idiot little brother die. And when he learns about the Horcrux his brother was chasing, he's hardly about to let him take on Voldemort alone.
But getting tangled up in the House of Black again is not the best way to prove his innocence among an already-suspicious Order. Sirius has to walk a fine line if he wants to keep everyone he loves alive.
(This series is in chronological order but does not need to be read in that order. NO other stories in this series are required reading, but all are suggested to flesh out the backstory.)

The Chronicles of Aletheia Nyxara by SlytherinMoon99
Fandom A Court of Thorns and Roses Series - Sarah J. Maas
22 Mar 2026
Summary
Born in the shadowed halls of the Hewn City, Aletheia Nyxara was raised among ancient power, inherited privilege, and the unspoken rule that survival in Prythian often requires silence. Her family remembers the War, the cost of defiance, and the fragility of peace forged by treaty. When Amarantha returns to Prythian as Hybern’s emissary, Aletheia stands at the edge of a world already beginning to fracture.
This series follows Aletheia through the full canon timeline of A Court of Thorns and Roses and its sequels, beginning before Amarantha’s rise and unfolding alongside the events that reshape Prythian. From the fall of her house and the long years Under the Mountain to the wars and uneasy peace that follow, her story exists not at the center of legend, but in the margins where survival is quieter and far more costly.
Threaded through the series is a slow-burning mating bond with Eris Vanserra, unfolding across years of conflict, endurance, and reluctant recognition.
Grounded in canon, this is a character-driven story of trauma, power, survival, and love told from the shadows where history is endured.
