Lord Henry James Townsend the Viscount of Headley was the second son of a king and thus not expected to amount to very much at all. With a face most women fawned over, he considered it his privilege, nay his duty, to bed as many swooning ladies of the court as time permitted. 
Yet the sudden death of his beloved brother suddenly thrusts him into a world of responsibility, intrigue, and alliances, necessary to safeguard his family's reign. The last thing he needs in his castle now seemingly filled with murder and betrayal is a wife. 

Lady Amelia Everleigh the daughter of the powerful Duke of Cambrin is thrilled when the king brokers a marriage alliance between their families. Instructed from birth on the need to marry a powerful man, intriguing and formidable Henry seems to be the perfect match. 
She is shocked when the handsome prince turns out to be a spoiled letch, who also happens to loathe her. It seems their marriage is doomed and the kingdom along with it against the outside forces seeking to destroy them from within.

$No Goodbyes \ Ron Weasley by xokassiexo$

"You said it was unimportant, Joe! This is monumentally important!" "A foe like she'd never known." "Friendship was going to be the only way to get through this." "He looked at her, actually looked at her, and wondered how anyone who saw her didn't fall in love with her." "The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives." The story of Josephine Diggory, whose parents are exactly who she thought they were-friends with the golden trio. Follow the story of close and forever-lasting friendships, true love, and a fight for what is right. I'm really bad at descriptions, but I swear the story is actually better than it seems. Disclaimer: All rights are reserved to/for J.K. Rowling-the creator of Harry Potter. Additional plots and characters are my ideas/creations. In this, I also made Harry Potter be a height of 6' foot despite him being shorter in the books and movies and Rons around 6'1/6'2ish. It just matched the image in my head better.

King Henry by ShellyWritesBooks

Medieval England - Year 1450: Eleanor was a poor shopkeeper's daughter whose only hope for a better life for herself and her family was to marry well. When she caught the eye of Thomas Fletcher, a royal courtier of noble blood, her family thought he was the answer to all their problems. Eleanor thought he was unattractive and rude, but she didn't have any better options as a poor commoner so she accepted his proposal. They just had to somehow convince King Henry that she was a suitable bride for Thomas so he would approve of their union, because marrying Thomas meant that she would join Henry's inner circle as a courtier. At just twenty three years old Henry had to take over as the King of England when his father passed away unexpectedly. On his first day presiding over the royal court, he was faced with a tough decision, should he approve Thomas' marriage to Eleanor, a commoner that he was almost certain was unfit to join his Royal Court? He decided the only fair way to decide was to have her stay at his castle for a week as his guest so he could see for himself if she had what it took to withstand the pressure of the life of a royal courtier. What King Henry didn't count on was the feelings that started to grow for that commoner throughout the week. She was already betrothed to someone else and even if she wasn't, a King could never marry a commoner. But he also couldn't ignore the growing need he felt inside to be with her, even if it would throw his country into a civil war and turn both of their lives upside down. He knew some things were worth fighting for.
