Summary:

Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma were inseparable as children since he’d defended her from an irate tutor. Once she thought there was something more growing between them until grief and the divergent demands of their positions drew them apart.

To Kate, the warm, close knit Bridgerton family lead a charmed life and spending Christmas with them is both an honour and a relief from the challenges her own little family face.

But when she comes face-to-face with Anthony again, she hardly recognises him in the cold, aloof man he's become. Worse, he seems to see her as a spinster maid, below his notice, and an outsider

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Fandom: Hit The Floor
Pairing/Characters: Jude/Zero
Rating: R
Length: 12,000 words
Summary: Jude Kinkade is the CEO of a fledgling sportswear brand, and he's ready to throw his Hail Mary pass and do whatever it takes to save his company. Enter Zero, a washed-up former player who's more known for falling out of clubs than his three championship wins. Desperate for some publicity, his head of PR, Jelena, convinces Jude to hire Zero as the face of the brand, but is this a comeback story in the making, or a reckless gamble that will destroy both their reputations for good?

Title: Dance of Dreams
Author:

rubylily
Fandom: Octopath Traveler II
Pairing/Characters: Agnea Bristarni/Giselle
Rating: Mature
Length: 8073 words
Summary: Giselle had always hoped that Agnea Bristarni would one day be more than just a dear friend. But on that day Agnea and her companions brought back the dawn, Giselle swore that her feelings would remain hidden forever.

A year later and Giselle and her traveling troupe are back in Tropu'hopu – and they've been asked to team up with Agnea for the performance of a lifetime on Tropu'hopu's famous floating stage! And it's clear that those long-buried feelings are still as heartachingly, pulse-racingly powerful as before…

Surely turning back the clock would be a bad idea… except that it feels so very, very right!
