Summary
Jake English has a lot of trouble getting the rest of MI6 to take him seriously, given his lack of field experience and the rumored nepotism linked to that famous name.
Falling in with a cadre of professional thieves and wandering into an interstellar conspiracy probably will not help his case much. But who knows? It's better career prospects than he's used to.

Summary
Crocker Magitech is among the foremost developers of innovative magic and technology for the modern home, and the team of Crocker, Lalonde, and Strider are among the most important cogs in their clockwork machine. After a long dry spell without new projects to work on, Jane hits it big with a grand new discovery: a remote island out in the South Pacific that’s teeming with lost majyyks to rediscover.
What the team finds out there is far more than their next big break: a lost settlement, a forgotten god, strange arcane flora, and a friendly boy living in the lake. Not even the combined knowledge of the team can prepare them for their expedition to this strange, hidden island.
Magic, sex, and mayhem ensue.
(Arc: “I have no idea how to elevator pitch this story, the concept is so *weird*. HEY Y’ALL, THREE DISILLUSIONED FRIENDS GO TO SOUTHERN PACIFIC SEX ISLAND AND HAVE CONVOLUTED SEXY MAGICAL ADVENTURES.”
City: “Make that the exact line right there in the fic summary. Draw people in with what they didn’t know they wanted.”)Series

Bookmarker's Notes
Literally one of the best stories I have ever read. It's seven parts but the flow is incredible and like I literally *learned shit about writing* from reading this, it's just bonkers good. Even if you don't have canon knowledge, I would read it.

Summary
So it starts out as a small mistake, fuelled by too much heartbreak and alcohol, and not enough sex in a very long time. Then it gets worse.
The last thing Rhys remembers from before everything became a blur of naked sweaty flesh and murmured filth is Vasquez sliding another pretty blue drink across the bar towards Rhys, a smug, predatory grin on his face as he says, “Drink up, Rhysie. My treat.”
Of all the people to have a drunken rebound one-night stand with, did he seriously have to pick his nemesis? Honestly.
---
Rhys makes a bad mistake. Putting himself back together, after, is hard. Jack helps.

Summary
Ask anyone and they can tell you the story: that the words inked on your skin are the first words that your soulmate will say to you. That if you are in the right place at the right time, if you’re lucky, you’ll find the person made to complement you in every way.
It’s easy to see why people want to believe it. The notion of a perfect partner is seductive, and some people spend their entire lives searching.
Most people don’t beat the odds - and with humanity spread from the central planets to the farthest-flung outpost, the odds are pretty astronomical. A reasonable amount of basic compatibility and a visit to a decent tattooist are enough to satisfy tradition, for most people.
The Hyperion president loudly, publicly, does not believe in that bullshit. The Atlas president keeps his counsel to himself.

Summary
Victor Nikiforov is poised to win gold in his fifth consecutive Grand Prix Final. He has the world at his feet, is unparalleled in the sport--right up until a snowstorm blows into Sochi, and he finds himself repeating the same day over and over and over. He stumbles over Yuuri Katsuki, and everything changes.
(Or, the time loop au. Loosely based on Groundhog Day.)
Beta'd for me, as always, by circ_bamboo, who as usual isn't even in this fandom but still loves me enough to read my writing anyway.
