“The Library is not under your jurisdiction, nor that of any,” replied Matthew, “and Librarians are the subjects of no ruler. Libraries are neutral territory for all who enter, regardless of the Librarians’ personal interests."

Summary
Ears flat against her skull, she sank her teeth into my throat. I pummeled her belly with my hind claws. Wrenching free, I crouched, growling, tail lashing. She pranced up, forelegs raised, claws out, snarling.

"Please come in," I said.
She smiled again, not pleasantly, and showing her teeth. The dog's ears pricked forward; he and the woman flowed through the gate, dropping their disguises. The Cu Sidhe snarled and leaped for me.

Summary
“Smell this one,” said Libby, wafting a strip of paper under my nose.
We were in her still-room in the basement. It looked like an alchemist's kitchen, with glass and copper distilling equipment on the counters, vials and bottles lining the shelves, and bunches of herbs hanging everywhere.
I took a whiff. It was startlingly close to Tybalt's pennyroyal signature, at least as much as a non-magical scent could be.

Summary
A series of shorts, partly about Jolgeir, King of Whispering Cats in Portland, Oregon, but mostly about his wife and daughters. Set some time after "A Red-Rose Chain". It's only marked "incomplete" because I may add more--each bit is complete. Parts may be, or may become, AU.

Summary
Freddy and Kitty explain to their family that they are now definitely getting married. Jack remains resentful, Meg attempts to explain certain aspects of married life using a hairbrush to illustrate, Charlie is nonplussed and Augusta Dolphinton is furious.
Features vignettes involving the betrothal and family reactions, the honeymoon in France, and the aftermath. Also cultural misunderstandings (the French are dashed odd) and the English art of the backhanded insult.
Edited to add a few more chapters: by popular request, Camille and Olivia… also Buckhaven’s return and confusion regarding what’s happened!

A Night at the Inn by DowagerLadyB

Summary
It's almost a year since I first posted on here, in the depths of lockdown, so I thought it was time for something new.
Anyone who's read The Corinthian will know that in Chapter V Heyer messed with her readers by going right up to everyone's favourite romance trope, There is Only One Bed(room), and putting it in our minds as a possibility. Then she metaphorically went, "Ha ha, only joking!" and swerved away from it. But what if she hadn't dodged it? If she didn't want people to think about it, she shouldn't have chosen to mention it. She knew what she was doing.
Changing what happened that night, it turns out, has had a domino effect and altered a lot of what comes after... It's chaos theory in action.
