Bea Porter-Blanchet, after two years of mindless copywriting in the attic of the Hamlyn "O" Courant, is finally promoted to the downstairs City desk in late 1959 where she'll work alongside (the tall) Arthur Hastings, (the inquisitive) Gemma Olsen, (the irritating) Danny Defoe, (the dull) Clive Hamilton, and (the dour) Mary Anne Evans and Currer Bell. While she juggles her new workplace friendships (and not-so-friendships) she must distract from an increasingly pressing issue that'll require coming to terms with past regrets.
Marked Mature for swearing and drug use consistent with the WHF universe. But if you enjoy office drama trivialities and a seemingly pointless story that may eventually have a point, please read on. Also - just to assuage any worries, I fully believe that Arthur MUST end up with Sally. Who am I to interfere with that?
This is my first stab at anything like this, so if it's terrible or inaccurate or grammatically incorrect or an affront to the fandom, consider this fair warning. Crossposted to AO3 under asymptotally
I promise it's not in french lol it's just a bad joke

DISCONTINUED - Thank you for all the wonderful support on this book! I truly appreciate all the comments and kudos <3 But I have decided to discontinue the book. I started writing this in 2018 when I was still a teenager, but I'm in my 20s now and don't feel comfortable continuing to write it. Part of the appeal of writing this book back then was the spiciness and drama. The only way I'd feel right continuing this book is if I left those parts out, but then it wouldn't be same. There's a chance I'd rewrite this book one day where the characters can be adults with all the spice and drama I want, but until then, this is it.

How a coincidence can change a life (Cate blanchett x reader )
This is a story about cate and y/n and how they got closer and closer after an unexpected meeting. Just enjoy:) (IMPORTANT!!! This is just a fanfic I respect and love the relationship with her partner. I'm not trying to sexualise anyone in this story I have nothing but respect,love and admiration for cate. And in this story she lives in California) (Have in mind that I'm a writer who just starts writing when she feels like it. even I don't know how the story ends or how the story even turns out until I actually write the last sentence) English isn't my first language and I started writing in 2022 so my speech changed a bit throughout the book <33Complete
Romance Test
Emilia Arundel is a romance writer. She has zero romantic or sexual history, except for a few awkward semi-dates she's gone to with a man who turned out to be married, broke her heart, and solidified Emilia's negative body image and her many insecurities. When another romance writer puts Emilia in touch with a dominatrix; as apprehensive as she feels, Emilia dares to visit The Top, an elite kink and sex club, where, to her own shock, she's approached by Daniel Oates, a famous restaurateur. As 'safe, sane, and consensual' as his offer is, what can he - a proverbially rich and powerful, mind-bogglingly attractive, worldly, and sexually experienced alpha-male - possibly want from Emilia? **Disclaimer** This book is now part of The Ladies of Letters & Lust series. The first book -"Blind Carnival" - is complete and can be found below on my page. **Disclaimed #2** This book is a part of the multiverse of my stories, and can be read independently... or you can entertain yourself by finding the connections between my other stories. The protagonist of this story is the Emily R. Green, the author of the Oakerton book series, which was adopted into the telly series starring our darling Roy Amaratunga from "The On-Screen Marquess & I."

It Will Come Back
Arthur Guinness centered torrid drama because I have been frothing at the mouth to write for this character since learning of the casting. As a result, the story herein bears little resemblance to the show timeline- if Stephen Knight can write fanfic, so can I?! Unabashedly bi-iteration of Arthur x Reader (stand in for his real life wifey Olivia) Plot? Oh that: you've been married to another man for the past five years, he's been trying to forget for the same duration, now that he's chained to Dublin, he cannot find it in himself to bear his long delayed passion with propriety. You find that, to your surprise, you do not wish him to. There will be smut. ----------------------- "We are both still in mourning." you demurred. "It's been seven months." Arthur remained callous about your poor sister. "It's been seven days for yours." you bit back. "Do you no longer admire my resilience, Madame?" he cocked his head, his cheeks slowly warming to a beautiful shade of peach from the vehemence of your banter, he always enjoyed having to hunt down his quarry, "There was a time when you called it my greatest quality."
Space-Time of Death: an Al Squires of the Protectorate Novel
Call Al Squires many things: a special agent, a crime-fighter, a Magick-user, a mad scientist, a genius, a trickster, a philosopher, among others. Of course, you can also call him not-so-nice things: like 'pompous,' 'annoying,' and 'a lunatic'; but let's not dwell on the negative. However, in this second addition in the Al Squires of the Protectorate series, Al's adding a new name to the list: TIME TRAVELER! After Al and his new partner/trainee, Norah Navarro, have a 'chance' encounter with a mysterious witch on a foggy night, they're then called to their HQ for an emergency meeting along with the usual suspects. They then learned that their Division has been asked to help agents from Ouroboros, an ally organization in charge with time travel and anything Time-related, who are tasked to catch a time-traveling serial killer who has murdered four of their agents. It's strikes a definite cord when they find out that one of the victims is Sylvie Parish, the Division's Forensics expert/Ouroboros Liaison/ Al's frenemy. Of course, it doesn't strike as big a cord than it does with Sylvie, who was right there at the meeting, alive and well! So, in order to save Sylvie (and the other three) from being murdered, Al and Norah- along with their friends and fellow agents and a few Ouroboros agents- must travel back in time to prevent each murder from happening. However, there is one setback that may prove a hindrance to the mission: The emitter that Al wears that keeps his Lodestone side-affects in check has been sabotaged. That means he has to deal with all sorts of strangely horror-themed weirdness; including (but not limited to) Disco Zombies, Black Magick Hippies, and worse! And he and Norah can't tell anyone about it because the witch placed a spell on them that prevents them from telling anyone this. So, other than that, Sylvie's going to be fine...right?Complete

Author's note: Hi!!! I'm Bear! This is my first fanfic, so please give me feedback. Um, the perspectives are going to shift between adults and kids, so...yeah.

Her relationship with her boyfriend, Keefe Sencen, doesn't seem to be...working.

It's not just the kids. There's also Councilor Alina-the gossip and rumors of the wedding incident* follow her around, but they're not exactly correct. Oralie is deep in guilt and regret...all she wants is love, but she seems to mess it up each time. Tiergan has been in love with his best friend since forever, but it's never been reciprocated. Elwin struggles with his queer identity, confiding in Livvy, then finding they're not as different as Elwin once thought...
