Une Raison d'Être Au Courant

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

Camelot Is Typing...
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. Thank you again for your support <3 *Hot Knight has created a group chat* 𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: Percival is sick. So if anyone's come into contact with him, you're quite possibly fucked. 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘀: god damn it. He gave me a piggyback ride on Wednesday. No wonder I have a sore throat 𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: A SORE THROAT?! 𝗕𝗙𝗚: Uh oh 𝗛𝗼𝘁 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: YOU HAVE A MOTHER FUCKING SORE THROAT?

Don't run from me (Book 3)
I leaned back against the wall "It's been so long hasn't it?" "Yes, it has... I think the last time I saw you was high school graduation." "Exactly, and I waved at you and was making my way to you but you had disappeared." "Oh, I..." she looked around as if looking for an escape making me smile. She was so adorable. "Hey, it's okay" I chuckled "Don't worry about it. I just always wondered why you kept running from me throughout high school. It was hard keeping up with you, to be honest." Her smile faded and she just shrugged before leaning down to pick up her things "Well, it was nice seeing you again Mr. Walton." "Mr. Walton? Where did that come from?" "It seems we'll be working together now, it's only fair I call you Mr. Walton. It wouldn't be appropriate otherwise." I frowned standing up "Are you running from me again?" After a harsh breakup, Mason Walton's life changed upside down. Instead of being the considerate boyfriend he always was, he became the biggest playboy of all time. He wasn't particularly proud of it, it just was a way to keep his mind off of Celine who shattered his heart in pieces without a care in the world. Are all the one-night stands working? Is he forgetting about Celine? What happens when the playboy runs into his all-time high school crush Katrina Johnson just before a very important meeting? ******* AN: None of the places and characters are real Daily update🥰Complete

She knows what she doing is wrong, and she shouldn't do that, but she is not in control of her emotions, and it is quite the opposite. She feels she needs to see him and to talk to him. And while she waits, all kinds of thoughts are going through her head: "I have a feeling he is seeing someone. I don't want to think about what I'm gonna do to him!" and shortly after: "Maybe I should just leave before he sees me? No! I can't. When you are rolling off a cliff you just can't stop. I guess you need to feel the bottom. The only problem - you don't know where that bottom is." And she is trying to analyze how is it that she got attached to him so quickly and so strongly: "What has he done to me? Is it some kind of a spell? How could I get so attached to him so soon?

Danger Zone
Jules works freelance for various publications after a burnout that literally brought her to her knees. She gets asked to "interview" for a role in Tom's team, especially the German speaking market (we just assume that kinda role exists). She is skeptical to work for him out of fear to be reeled in re: Scientology. Also, due to a VERY ugly breakup with a previous client which led to her compensating her anger with more and more work which eventually caused the burnout, she has one rule: "I don't date my clients!" But once she gets to work with him, and Tom gets to know her better, they start to understand each other. However - there's the anti psychiatry stance of Scientology which will be forever between them. But will it really? Can Tom win her heart and will Jules be able to untangle his Scientology web? ****** DISCLAIMER: this is purely a product of my imagination. Aside from the original characters - Jules, Nora and some others - I don't own any of the people in the story. I also don't own the songs that are being quoted at the end of each chapter. Also, the story was in the making and being written already before some more recent events happened. Therefore, the timeline in the story at the time of writing is different from actual, real life events (e.g. Oscar Nominees Luncheon). ****** PS: if you're looking for smut - go elsewhere ;)Complete
THE FEELINGS WE NEVER PLANNED
[This story runs parallel to Melodies on a Canvas. You don't have to read that book fully, it can be read as a standalone, but please take a look at the Authors note first.] ANNA LORRAINE - a focused and serious assistant manager at work. Poised. Composed. Locked in. She solves problems with a cool calm and quiet elegance. Outside of work? That's a whole different story. She's dramatic, chaotic, and will go to wild lengths for the people she loves. ALEX ANDERSON - a famous event planner who manages events without a single flaw, like he's just styling his hair. Cool, serious, a little arrogant. He doesn't tolerate mistakes-not at work. But off-duty? He does a full 180. He's sarcastic, chaotic, tells bad jokes, and lives to pass up funny comments. So what happens when the two of them are forced to work together? Both headstrong. Both allergic to errors. One refuses to take criticism. The other is smug and thrives on pushing buttons. One thing's for sure: There will be arguments. There will be banter. And there will absolutely be "I can't stand this person" energy. But when their past starts to catch up with them, will either of them be willing to get vulnerable? Follow the journey of Anna and Alex as they go from "I can't stand you" to "you're bearable enough to have a forever." ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ STARTED:- 3 AUGUST 2025 END:- ?
