Summary
Doctor Jonathan Reid is not interested in anything more than casual sex; his work is more important to him than the failed relationships he'd watched his peers suffer. Until he meets a handsome waiter that makes him feel like a blushing teenager.
Inspired by this video on Instagram.
So I'm back. Something short and sweet to make up for all the angst and waiting. Almost managed to write actual smut this time. Yay me!
Edit: Now with the original raw draft standing in for Chapter Two. This story is still a one-shot.

Summary
“Can I ask you for a favor?” the bright-eyed bartender watches her curiously.
“Can’t hurt to ask” Lucy Gray hums in return, eager to hear what he desires of her.
“Before you hurry back up on that stage, I’d like to request a song"
Lucy Gray's lips play on a fliratious grin when he informs her of the title. “Awful romantic song”
He's too pretty a face to be wasting his years making drinks, and flirts back without shame. “Who says I’m not just that?”
“Oh I don’t doubt that you are a romantic at heart, pretty boy” Lucy Gray chuckles as she steps back.
“It’s Coriolanus” golden haired bartender calls to her. “My name. Coriolanus Snow, to be exact. Not pretty boy”
“Too bad” Lucy Gray purrs sweetly as she offers one more flirtatious grin. “Pretty boy suits you so well”

Summary
1920s AU - Mickey and Ian are in enemy gangs, but what does that matter? Turns out it matters quite a lot.
Very loosely based around the Peaky Blinders. VERY loosely. As in there are gangs, and it's the same time period. That's it. Do not have to know anything about Peaky Blinders to read

Summary
"The war is over. The defeated tuck their tails back home, the victors now claim their symbols of freedom and glory.
Today, the bronze bell of the cafe rings for a customer that has chosen to sit in the corner of it. Said man is a victor. Yet, he is conflicted about the title bestowed on him.
Victor."
You watch the phases of a man's life, his profile changing over the cups of coffee which you serve him. Before he was known as Detective Inference, he was Dax.
My take on characterising Naib + the Truth and Inference lore with a bit of historicity in it because I love the T&I lore and I am SEVERELY ill about Naib Subedar :-9

Summary
1718. The crew think Roach has gone mad. He keeps telling them that Izzy Hands is still alive, somewhere in the back of his mind.
1818. Izzy makes toys for the children in town. The local woodcutter brings him wood, and although the townsfolk say he's crazy, Izzy finds that he doesn't really mind his company.
1918. Israel Hands comes home from the war missing a leg, and meets a particularly enthusiastic prosthetist he finds himself inexplicably drawn to.
2018. Roach moves into a dilapidated seaside cabin said to be haunted by the ghost of an old pirate. The tired old fisherman knocking on his door does look strangely familiar, but he can't quite put his finger on why. Nor do they understand why the two of them keep having vivid dreams about being buried in the ground, or why Izzy keeps wandering towards the sea in his sleep.
Perhaps this is the year they figure it out.

Summary
April 1918
In the confusion of the First World War, Arthur Roy Brown, a Canadian fighter pilot and also an agent of the English crown, tries to uncover the secrets that the Germans want to keep to themselves at all costs. To do this, he is sent on a secret mission to southern France.
Manfred von Richthofen has a different story. He is taken prisoner by the British, seriously injured, and is almost helpless in the face of various conflicts and people. All his hopes are based on escaping back to his fighter squadron. He has no choice if he wants to get over the fact that his homeland suffers a severe defeat. Because he also becomes aware of a secret that could perhaps turn the war to their advantage.
But this mystery doesn't seem to be from this world, nor does there exist a logical explanation for certain things.
Both men fight for themselves, but have a common goal. The secret of "forbidden technology"
And while the two get in each other's way again and again, the true opponent gradually emerges. An opponent who poses a threat to all of Europe.
Ps: Thanks to my proofreader, who makes all of this possible here. -

Summary
Время утренней молитвы. Лоуренс спит.
На рассвете в Париже часто туманно — в тот час, когда светлеющее небо изо всех сил старается проникнуть своим рассеянным сиянием сквозь шторы в спальне. Эти самые приятные, священные утренние часы бегут до тех пор, пока свет не превращается в однотонную серость.
Бесплодные метаморфозы утреннего света напоминают тщетные попытки Фейсала добиться хоть какого-то успеха в чуждой для него стране.
*Лоуренс возвращается в Париж после смерти отца. Его слова, сказанные Гертруде Белл, попранная преданность, а также гнев и чувство предательства Фейсала должны привести к расплате.

Summary
He wasn't there for long. All he experienced were the remnants of battles long fought. Yet fifteen years later, he remains in the trenches in his memory. He was a husk of the young man he'd once been. He'd lost his identity in the river of mustard gas that had swept his comrades away. That's what he calls himself nowadays– Husk. Once a naïve, yet brave warrior, he is now a prisoner to the odds and the bottles, marching his way through life with no clear sense of direction.
He is known as Angel Dust onstage. He studied the clients well. Family men, ashamed of who they were, coming to him to relieve their urges. He was better than many of the girls he worked with. They envied him. He was a star, an enigma to all who were witness to his superficial radiance. It didn't matter where he was– at the brothel or at the club, he was always the public's number one guilty pleasure. But beneath the wigs and the sequins, the scent of cheap cologne and blood, there was Anthony. And there was nothing to Anthony's name but debts and broken promises.
After a drunk trip to New York, Husk finds himself in an underground club. He didn't think a one-night stand would change him forever.

Summary
“Anthony?” His voice was hoarse and raw, betraying his disbelief and shock.
Now, Colin wasn’t a man to lose his temper easily. He was proud to say he had learned to hold himself back quite well without it blowing up. And yet, the moment his eldest brother turned around, the silly scar he had near his left eyebrow from the time he had fallen from a tree lifting up to his forehead, his eyes wide, his smile quickly turning into a confused frown, Colin Bridgerton threw a punch.______
The Bridgertons were told war had taken Anthony from them forever. Miles and miles away, a man was found almost dead at the Sharma family property with no recollection of who he was.
When Colin comes face-to-face with someone that could only be a ghost from his past, Anthony Sharma knows his quiet country life is about to be turned upside down.
But will the family he has no memory of even recognize who he is now?
