Quardrill
Daphne Bridgerton/Penelope Featherington, rated G
Fanart

give us a little love
Csethiro Ceredin/Maia Drazhar, rated G, 3.4k words
After her father had foolishly backed the Tethimada in a failed coup against Varenechibel IV, Csethiro had to marry the Emperor's unloved fourth son and join him in relegation. She was prepared to endure any hardship for the sake of her family, but the reality of their first meeting proved to be very different from her expectations.
in a new light
Gideon Nav/Harrowhark Nonagesimus, rated G
Fanart
When you've snuck the key ring away from your sleeping cavalier and left her a bossy note, but you pause for a long minute to stare at her like a creep before abandoning her to wander aimlessly around Canaan House for days (while you dick around in a basement by yourself).
Matt <3 Mars
Loki & Matt Damon, rated G, 1.2k words
More than a year after The Martian, Matt Damon is still a little bit obsessed with Mars. And space. And anything that will give him a chance to get back there. (Okay, so he's actually a lot obsessed.)

rain comes dancing to the earth
Female Ghost/Governess, rated T, 2.7k words
Miss Ida Marchmont was the sixth governess to arrive at the manor house, and the villagers were prepared for her swift departure: the house was haunted, or so it was said, and not a single governess could reside there long without being fairly terrorised out of her mind.
Miss Ida Marchmont did not leave.

Whenever the Emperor came to visit Papa and to see the progress on the weapon, he always brought a little girl with him, a few years younger than Jyn.

Maru/Penny, rated G, 588 words
Maru wakes up one rainy morning in bed with Penny, full of dreams.
Our Life Is Not A Movie or Maybe
