    Summary

    Anthony Bridgerton never expected to fall in love with his arranged wife. Not when she was so sweet, so eager to please, so desperate for his affection. He ignored her.. until she changed.

Because unbeknownst to Anthony, his wife’s souls is no longer her own

    Summary

    After the fall of the Netherbrain, Tav's home in Baldur's Gate was destroyed and Gale offers his tower as a temporary place for her to rest and heal. A very slow-burn romance starts to bloom, while Tav (named Iluviel) struggles to be ready after the things Astarion did to her.

    ~

    Lots of D&D lore and (mostly canonical) Waterdeep worldbuilding went into this fic that follows both Gale and Iluviel through their daily lives inside and outside of the wizard's tower.

    ~

    Readers said about this fic: "This fic has had me in a chokehold from Day 1. The most deliciously slowest of slow burns, yet with enough intensity and cliffhangers to keep me racing back to it as soon as a new chapter alert comes out. The world-building that has happened in this fic surpasses just about all of the other fics I've read to date, with the imagery and scenery so beautifully written I could imagine myself sitting right in the kitchen along with Gale, Tara, and Iluviel, dodging pots and pans 😁"

    Summary

    Stiles had applied for The Bachelor as a joke so he did not expect to get chosen, he did not expect to make it to the final three, and he certainly did not expect for the bachelor's uncle to be his ex who he'd actually joined the show to get over.

    Summary

    As Peter walked through the house, he noticed that it was messy—completely unlike the pristine way he usually kept it. Dirty dishes were soaking in the sink, half of a pot of old coffee was sitting out on the counter, wrappers filled the trash bin. A mug stood casually abandoned on the coffee table in the living room. A large, faux fur blanket—which was usually folded up in his closet—was in a heap on the couch, halfway sliding off onto the floor.

    Was Stiles… living there?

    As Peter neared the bedroom, his suspicions were confirmed by the rhythmic sounds of a steady heartbeat and slow, relaxed breathing. Stiles was sleeping in his room.

    Something warm and euphoric stirred in Peter’s chest, nearly startling him. His wolf keened at the disorder around the den—relating it to memories of pack and home. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d come home to someone.

    [or: peter comes home from vacation to find that stiles has been squatting in his penthouse... and he likes it a lot more than he thought he could]
