    Summary

    How does a slave from the stables end up being shipped off to a neighboring country as a gift to warm the bed of the crown prince? Well, Hua Cheng wasn't actually in the room at the time but, judging by everything he's put together and what Yin Yu has told him, it goes something like this.

    1 The King of Yong’an wants to conquer Xianle.

    2 The King doesn't want Xianle to know that yet so that he can take them by surprise.

    3 To bring this about the King wants a spy deep enough in Xianle’s royal court that they can learn the royal family’s most intimate and military secrets, and who could be better positioned to do that than a concubine?

    So 4 the King of Yong’an tells his inner counsel that the first step in his invasion plan is to give the crown prince a concubine.

     

    Or Hua Cheng is given to the crown prince of Xianle as a concubine with the job of seducing him in order to spy on him for the neighboring kingdom of Yong'an, but when real feelings get involved things get ...complicated

    Summary

    So if you wanna piss off your parents, date me to scare them, show them you're all grown up

    --------------

    He considers what his parents expect from a girlfriend- pretty, poised, intelligent, amiable, diligent- someone generally liked. Then, he considers the opposite, contemplates what would undeniably piss them off- someone arrogant and grumpy, callous and rude- and a boy. Hinata grins with delight at this particular idea, because if he brought home a disagreeable girlfriend, his parents would be mad, sure. But if he brought home a boyfriend, they’d practically be begging him to be single again. It’s foolproof- as long as Hinata can find someone to go along with it.

    --------------

    Or- when Hinata finds himself in need of a boy to pose as his pretend boyfriend to appease (see also; infuriate) his parents, he meets Kageyama- and they come to an agreement.

    (Based off that one line in the song 18 by Anarbor)

    Summary

    After walking away from her life in the city, Riley inherits her grandfather's farm in Stardew Valley with no plan except to survive. When money gets tight and her new friend Sam needs to move out of his mom's place, a roommate situation seems practical. Beneficial. Temporary.

    When the town starts assuming they're together, fake dating becomes the path of least resistance. It's just pretend. Just until Sam figures out his music career and Riley figures out how to be a person again.

    Except somewhere between the morning coffee routine and late-night songwriting sessions, the lines start to blur. And neither of them is very good at admitting when something stops being fake.

    OR soon-to-be 100k-ish words of slow burn, mutual pining, everyone-can-see-it-but-them, and two people learning that finding yourself doesn't mean doing it alone.

    Summary

    Fig presented the contract with a flourish. “Alright! Everybody sign the fancy contract!” She passed the paper and pencil down. “Fabian and Riz must convincingly fake-date for one month without revealing that it’s fake or bailing out of the challenge. Then, they will dramatically break up. If they can successfully do this, Adaine, Gorgug, Kristen and I will receive our punishments. If they don’t, they get their punishments.”

    “I can’t believe I’m getting roped into this somehow,” Riz said as he put his signature in. “I don’t know how I got to this point in my life and I want to know how to stop it from ever happening again.”

    After a series of escalating events, Fabian and Riz find themselves in a bet with the other Bad Kids to prove they can convince the school they're dating for a month. It's stupid, childish, and a lot of fun. Riz is freshly out of a sexuality crisis and does not need another one, thank you very much. And Fabian is fascinated by the whole thing, but he's one hundred percent, extremely aware that the fake relationship is just that: fake. Clearly, nothing can go wrong.

    OR, my obligatory fake dating contribution to the Fabriz nation 🫡

    Summary

    Fake marriage for inheritance. Emotional damage for free.

    Sherlock said, "Now he leaves me this puzzle. His final lesson. Which means the answer inside must matter. It isn’t trinkets or family jewelry. It will be something I care about. Something meant for me. He knew my weaknesses too well. And if he claims the answer is in that box, then I cannot - will not - walk away. And now, somehow, he’s managed to tether me back into my family's little theatre. To open the box, I must prove myself in the one arena they believe I’ll never succeed - intimacy, family, love.”

    John said, “Love as a puzzle, not exactly your strongest suit. And you’re going to let them sit in judgment of you?”

    Sherlock’s mouth twisted, “They always have, John. The difference is, this time I need what they’re keeping from me.”

    Summary

    Wednesday wants nothing to do with her Grandmama’s crypt of a business. Morticia made one small assumption, that her daughter’s colorful roommate was her significant other. In order to escape from this future, Wednesday didn’t correct her mother and firmly agreed instead. She would have to inform Enid later that she had entered them into a relationship without her permission.

    or

    Sometimes, all it takes is one lie to expose the truth the heart has been denying. There is nothing more dangerous than a feeling that pretends to be pretend.

    or

    Summary

    This is an English translation of one of my favourite stories: Przyrzeczona by VenaN-ks, a Marriage Law Dramione fanfiction.

     

    The war should have ended with the Battle of Hogwarts. It didn’t. The wizarding world is still fractured, and the Ministry, desperate to restore order, has enacted a marriage law—one that binds witches and wizards in ways deeper than mere words.

    Hermione Granger never expected to be part of it. She never expected any of this. Yet before she can grasp the full truth of what’s happening, she finds herself trapped in a contract she never agreed to, her future no longer her own.

    Summary

    Operetta is a form of theatre and a genre of light opera....It is lighter than opera in terms of its music, orchestral size, and length of the work. Apart from its shorter length, the operetta is usually of a light and amusing character. The subject matter may portray "lovers' spats, mistaken identities, sudden reversals of fortune, and glittering parties." It sometimes also includes satirical commentaries.

    In other words, Simon goes to work at Now Next Industries.

    Summary

    The time has come for the Prince of Slytherin to look for a wife, and what better way than a reality show? 21 women will enter, but only one will become queen.

    Marlene McKinnon has absolutely no interest in the prince, and yet she’s forced onto the show anyway, finding herself in a world of nobility and frilly dresses.


    “It will be a miracle if you survive this, McKinnon. But I admit I’ll be disappointed if you end up beheaded. You’re fun to watch squirm.”

    “How are you allowed to talk like this? You’re a bloody princess, aren’t you meant to be polite?”

    “Maybe I don’t follow rules either.” Meadowes smirked at her, something heated beneath the ice in her eyes. She was dangerous, and Marlene felt an electric shock go through her. She swallowed, suddenly hot. She told herself it was from the competition and only the competition.
