Seasons come and seasons go, but one season always seems to catch our eye - that is, the social season. Seven years ago, we announced a thrilling shift in society. Beginning with the lovely and beautiful Miss Carolina Broud (though she prefers to be called Lina by her closest confidants), society has since moved in a, be it interesting, way. Now, instead of society consisting of only old names and old money, it now holds those with new names and new money. As we called it, the beginning of an age of wealth without class. No one knows what the next seven years have in store, but you can be sure - we will be here to tell you of it.
	-FROM THE "GAMESOME GALLANT" COLUMN IN THE 	NEW YORK IMPERIAL, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1907


*A Diana Holland FanFic following the events in Anna Godbersen's "SPLENDOR" of her LUXE series. I do not own any of the characters.

The Unexpected Lover by Lost_in_Sight
19 parts Ongoing Mature
Romeo De La Luna was given away from his birth parents in Mexico to a wealthy couple to give him a better life in America. They raised him and sent him to the best schools with their own children. Eventually, he grew into a fine young man with what he thought was a part of the Caster family's prestige. The Casters are a very renowned family, known for their Oil. Who would've known with a name like Caster Global? They also have their hands in the pockets of multiple powerful politicians. Well, everything seemed great for Romeo, until one day Mr. Caster was found murdered in his office. Mrs. Caster, which he grew to love, was quick to cast the blame on him, as well as his brothers and sister. The once proud high-standing Caster Family had turned on him in a flash. Having the connections they did, Mrs. Caster had him imprisoned with no hope of release, or so she thought. He was released five years later due to a new attorney finding a loophole in the sentencing, where he then started his plan to find out what his so-called "family" was hiding. Naomi is the heiress of the Castillo dynasty, which is well known for owning the greater part of New York. They ranged from owning multiple hotels, most of the ports, pipelines, and beach resorts in parts of Mexico that is a renowned tourist hotspot for the wealthy. When she turned twenty, her father died and her mother took control of their future, prepping and preparing her to take over. Which would mean she would soon be the wealthiest and most powerful woman in all of New York. The only condition was that she marry someone from another prestigious family, fit to help the dynasty. What is Naomi to do? Who will she choose to be by her side being so young? Is there anyone worthy of her family and their standards? Will she even be able to love some stranger? Life will show us to expect the unexpected.
When a Greaser Loves a Soc by -curiouscat
21 parts Complete Mature
"Johnny, I don't know about us," Josephine says skeptically. "Our people don't mix." "So what? I know what I feel for you is real and I don't care what anyone thinks," I declare. "Don't you feel the same way?" "I do, maybe I'm just being paranoid," she sighs. I smile softly at her and place a kiss on her forehead. She pulls me close and kisses me deeply. My body gets hot quickly as she runs her fingers down my torso. I glide my hand up her thigh but feel it stop suddenly. "I uh.." "We don't have to do it if you're not ready," I tell her. Josephine looks at me innocently before grabbing onto my belt. "I'm ready. I want you Johnny Cade." When Johnny notices the new girl at school he can already tell she's a social, but there is something about her that's different. The two inevitably form a friendship and eventually something more, but when word gets around about the lovebirds, a strain is put on their relationship making them question if they can truly be together or if they should stick to staying in their own cliques. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters except for the Mason family and Frankie. The other character belong to S.E Hinton
The Heirs of The Noble House of Black by PinkLemonade28x
5 parts Ongoing
Tom Riddle love story set in the Marauders Era. The era of the marauders is a time of drastic societal change within the wizarding world. The 60's and 70's are a time of strife as squib protests commence and pure blood riots fight back in an attempt to maintain the social hierarchy which has always kept them on top. However, the difficult times are not only laced into the fabric of British wizarding society, as unrest is beginning to take place from within the castle walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Many of the pureblood students echo the traditional sentiments of their parents, so what will happen when a talented young first year by the name of Tom Riddle joins the school? Will he travel down the path that we know of him and become the feared Lord Voldemort, or will the offer of friendship and love from the students of the marauders era be enough to sway him from his destiny? Follow Lyra Black (original character) and the rest of the next generation of The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black (Bellatrix, Sirius, Andromeda, Narcissa and Regulus) as they attend Hogwarts. As they struggle through familial control and expectations, changes within their society, love, friendship, house rivalries and their own inner demons, will the heirs of the Black line be able to maintain their once strong familial bonds as they get pulled in different directions? This story deviates from the original timelines of the Harry Potter series in order to accommodate many of the characters that we know and love (or love to hate)! Lots of characters are brought together within the space of a few years, so their birth years will not be accurate. Also there are some other changes, such as age of attendance to Hogwarts beginning at 15 (and ending at 22) because I didn't want to write about 11 year olds! ;) This story is based off the Harry Potter series and all rights belong to J.K. Rowling. I only own Lyra Black, other original characters and original plot lines.

The competing champions by Papillon98
35 parts Complete
Power was shifting. Magic soared through the air. Anger turned into a storm. It was coming. When asked about their fourth year, a few decades later, Elizabeth described it as the year where she found out how great falling in love with the player felt. Victoria saw it as the year where she first realised how many different kinds of love there were. Harry's memory had turned it into a year of extreme jealousy and Hermione's into one of heartbreak. But when people would ask Aurora what it felt like to be fourteen, she said: "I was fourteen when my world was truly turned upside down. And only one person could put it right again. Unfortunately, that person wasn't me, because I had lost." ~~~ The competing championd is the fourth book in the Artemis Lupin series. I recommend you read the other three first. She was used to investigating mysteries on her own. People were untrustworthy. They lied. They tried to change the past. But the past couldn't be changed. Her own past was complicated. Especially because she wasn't the one hiding it, it was kept from her. For a good reason, they thought. The dream was her only lead. The only way to figure it all out. The dream was simply the end of a curse and the beginning of a nightmare. Because some secrets are better kept secret. The web of lies and deceit only got more complicated. Familymembers talked out of turn. The wise man was far too interested and the dark saw the truth in her eyes. Because her dream was simply the story. The story of betrayal, friendship but mostly death. But the thing that could ruin it all, was the very thing they couldn't change. It was the only truth in the past of lies. Her grey eyes and his black blood. ~Started 7 May 2018 - completed 17 July 2018~
