Freshly divorced Elphaba Thropp takes her son Liir to the hospital after he breaks his arm. Faced with an overbooked hospital and a nonexistent ex, they are placed in a temporary room for the night.

Unfortunately, Galinda may be too much for Elphaba to handle when her seemingly picture perfect world begins to unravel one dangerous thread at a time.

Summary

Note: I don’t typically write or read omegaverse and have my own set of tropes I will be including (along with many I will be excluding). If you’re wondering what those are, check the A/N at the end of the first chapter.

Summary
Konrad Danaaru has served the Grand Vizier of Ardalon for the last five centuries. Unique amongst the Goblins for his gifts with strategy, sharp intelligence and political intrigue, Konrad was utterly indispensable to his master, so much so that he was hardly allowed out of his sight.

Summary
A fallen Tudor princess. A Highland duke haunted by loss. Can a marriage of duty become a love worth defying kings?
A Rose Among Thistles is a lush, emotionally charged historical novel set in an alternate Tudor world where love dares to bloom in the cracks of royal ambition.
Stripped of her title and dignity by her father, Henry VIII, eighteen-year-old Princess Mary seeks refuge in the Highlands of Scotland. There, a political alliance binds her to Lachlan Stewart, the reclusive Duke of Dunbrae—a man haunted by loss and uninterested in courtly games. But neither expected a marriage of duty to stir something deeper.
As court intrigue mounts and old loyalties fracture, Mary must choose between reclaiming her place on the English throne—or embracing the quiet, hard-won freedom of a life built not on power, but on love.
Perfect for fans of The Spanish Princess and Outlander, this is a story of heart over crown, and a love strong enough to defy kings.

Summary

His first assignment? A vampire spawn informant with a crooked touch, dreams of ruin and vengeance, and a hunger to rival his own.

Summary
Year of Our Lord 1013. Francia is lost. Capetians usurpers sit the throne, fattened on treachery, while the last daughter of the Carolingian dynasty rots in exile. Emma of Normandy now lives beneath false names in forgotten keeps, guarded by liars who whisper of destiny but treat her like coin to be spent.
When her enemies draw near, Emma flees across the sea to Denmark. There, she finds no peace, only more plots. King Sweyn Forkbeard sees in her a weapon to wield, a prize to marry to his young and untested son Canute. But the journey to Jelling is long, and her escort is led by Askeladd, a mercenary with veiled motives. Among them is Thorfinn, a young warrior burdened by vengeance, tasked with guarding a princess who refuses to be protected.
As old empires die and new kings rise, Emma walks a knife's edge between pawn and player. The blood she's spilled cannot be undone, and the future she once killed for slips further from her reach. In the land of the Normanni, nothing is sacred... and none shall inherit without blood.

Summary
Alpha, king, angel-- Aziraphale is set on a course to select a mate from the one hundred tributes his chief advisor, Saraqael, has gathered for him. As king, it is his duty to get married, mated, and produce heirs.
Crowley is an omega, a demon, and a tribute-- an unholy trinity for the demon who has had nothing but bad luck since his parents were killed in the war, most notably by the mother of the king that he's been sent off to potentially marry.
Well, Aziraphale will go along with the marriage and the mating, but he has no intention of producing any heirs. He selects one the tributes, the sole demon omega among the hundred, and makes a deal. He'll give him a luxurious life where he's free to live however he wishes in the sea palace, hundreds of miles away, and Aziraphale gets his mate that has no desire to give him any heirs while living in the main palace with his books.
However, as the angel and the demon grow closer together, through pleasant encounters and hateful characters, they start to realize that the deal might not be as simple as they hoped. That despite all their differences, they just might have been made for each other from the start.

Summary
“You don’t want to stay with the Senju,” Madara said in a de facto voice, pulling sheets of paper out of the sleeve of his kimono. Tobirama wanted to rage, to call Madara out on his scheme, and only refrained from doing so because it would destroy his disguise. But then his eyes fell on the paper that Madara stretched out for him to take.
Haltingly, he took the papers into his hands, and his gaze roamed over the manual depicting the technique used to incorporate the mixture of metals into molten glass. One of the most crucial steps in the production of the specialized glass the Takeuchi estate was so famous for.
Madara stepped closer, but this time the air between them was not charged with desire. The words seemed to fall like an executioner’s ax as he spoke.
“You don’t want to stay with the Senju, Lord Takeuchi, because they have sold you out.”

Summary
“Mother... if I were... In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?”
The first wizarding war didn't end. It just changed tactics.
Hidden in bureaucracy, buried in laws, and baked into bloodlines, wizarding society is still divided into those who belong, and those who don't. But Hermione Granger has never backed down from a challenge, and she's never wanted anything more than to belong.
Allies and enemies both come from unexpected places -- the international quidditch star, the power aristocrat, the motley crew of muggleborn students, her two best friends -- as Hermione begins the slow, methodical work of dismantling a world that wants nothing more than to erase her.
Not every war is fought with battles and curses. Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.

Summary
A nightmare. That’s what my life is. I'm sick and tired of being the pack's punching bag simply because I enjoy reading and don't look like a model. The only hope that keeps me alive is that one day I will find a mate who will cherish me and defend me, who will make all of this suffering worthwhile, someone to whom I can finally give my heart.
A dream. That’s what Liam Castlewood is, a six-foot living monument to beauty and strength, our next Alpha, and, as decreed by the Goddesses, my mate.
When he rejects me in the cruelest way, my entire world erupts in flames of rage.
I will no longer fall victim to this pack. I run away to become my true self and forge a better destiny, but a secret reveals that nothing is as it appears.
