1) The Lock & La Clé (black sails bang)
"Better alone than a bad soulmate," the saying goes to soothe those who've yet to bond, "better a lifelong friend than a lover's brief spark. Your soulmate is one whom you will always want in your life."

After a party game triggers his matchmark, Silver is horrified to find it is not Flint's soulmark, as he'd hoped, but belongs to the one constant in his life, the only person he can't afford to lose. Knowing how good he is at screwing up his personal relationships, Silver takes drastic and dangerous action.



2) The Auction
Flint needs Silver to go to a charity auction in his stead and insists he take soulmate, Max. While there, Silver and Max have a run-in with Woodes Rogers, and Silver suffers more anxiety about his relationship and how he fits in with the Max/Anne/Jack dynamic.

One evening Silver is telling his roommates about a run-in with Flint.

4) The Soulbond Goes Both Ways
When Jack is involved in an accident, Max calls Silver in a panic. The repercussions of the incident cause problems for the Max/Anne/Jack relationship and throw Silver into a tailspin of despair as he wonders if Max is about to be bonded with Anne as well as himself.
There's one person Silver knows who has an idea of how complex soulbonds can be; Miranda Barlow. If nothing else, there's the chance of afternoon tea, but Silver gets a reminder of something important to remember.

Index post: Kat (High Queen)



Always tagged c: Kat (even if she doesn't personally make an appearance)

Gloriana Katerina, keen to prove her worthiness as the first High Queen in living memory, goes on the traditional Grand Tour with some of her closest friends and allies.

Fighting a curse, an ill prophecy, disturbing dreams, the disdain of those who think a woman unworthy to rule, and her own flaws, Kat travels the world around her and finds it is both worse than, and better than, her rather sheltered existence back home.

Always tagged fic series: call me mistress.

A series of unusual events leads Amy to become Mistress of a rather odd House. Eroticism is at the heart of the House, in the form of both pleasures and punishments. Initially shy and uncertain, Amy nonetheless starts to grow into the role of Mistress, selecting guests and exploring her own desires.

There's a problem though. Amy has never had sex, but within one year, she must choose a First Companion, a sexual partner above all others – or lose her position and new found power. Yet the motto of the House is that "All things are possible".

This work explores sexuality, eroticism, and kink in the broadest sense, and includes themes of non-sexual intimacy and asexuality, BDSM, RACK (risk aware consensual kink), and fantasy.)

Title: Not In The Stars
Fandom: Legend of the Seeker

Michael/Anna, will later be Richard/Kahlan, Darken/Cara with strong Richard/Darken friendship and Kahlan/Cara friendship
Story Summary: An AU in which Richard initially refuses to accept his 'destiny', being happy in the Westland with his adopted family. When Darken Rahl nonetheless tracks Richard down, Richard accepts him as family. Thus the world begins to change; and there are adventures, some angst, and some romance along the way. Starts out close to the original plot of 'Prophecy', becoming significantly AU as the story progresses
Author Notes: Though not officially beta-readers, 16beckyb, hrhrionastar, and dorothydeath have been invaluable in discussing plot points with me through comments and PMs; giving me ideas, providing me with canon facts, and pointing out potential Plot Holes of Doom. I am grateful for all their help. Also, thanks to everyone at peoplespalace; your enthusiasm and debates continue to inspire and educate me.
'Not in the Stars' comes from the Shakespearean quote: “It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”

The LA Dollhouse is invaded by a team led by a man known to Adelle, one Valentine Raye; his intention is to steal imprints for firm that is competing with Rossum. When Adelle refuses, Valentine shoots Dominic.

The next part of the story is told in flashback. When Adelle's father died, Dominic accompanied her to the family home in Hampshire where he met the rest of her family. The DeWitt family has more than its share of secrets and in-fighting, and taken aback by Dominic's support of her and the only relative she cares about, Adelle let down her guard and allowed her relationship with Dominic to move into the personal and physical.

Back in the present, Adelle, both cursing herself for letting herself get involved enough to care for Dominic, and yet wanting to save his life, makes a deal with Valentine. If he allows Saunders to save Dominic's life, she will order Topher to hand over the imprints. Now it's up to Topher, ordered to imprint Victor, Sierra, and Echo to assist Saunders, to find a way to not only save Dominic, but to save the Dollhouse itself.
