The Little Mermaid - Mallory Ortberg

http://the-toast.net/2015/03/11/childrens-stories-made-horrific-little-mermaid/

<blockquote>There are kings who live underneath the sea as well as above it. Kings have daughters there too, in the manner of kings everywhere, and fathers there must find something to do with them as well as we do. There is no place so remote that no man can settle and own it. There was a king once, who owned the sea and lived in it, and he filled it with his daughters, and he owned them too.</blockquote>

http://archiveofourown.org/works/2308352

<blockquote>When Mary Crawford finds herself trapped in London on the eve of the French invasion, Lady Hamilton recruits her to help spy on the French forces. For all Mary's knowledge of the rears and vices of admirals in the draconic aerial corps, she must now match her wits against marshals and Celestials-- a much more dangerous proposition than even she realized. Mansfield Park/ Victory of Eagles crossover.</blockquote> ➤ wip through part five as of last reading

The fate of Dido from the fire divin’d - Carmarthen

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1856422

<blockquote>It wasn't right for a girl to have a wolf, they said, not for a normal girl. There was something queer about a girl with a wolf, not quite natural. Certainly it wouldn't do at all for a girl to be seen in society with a wolf at her side, like some kind of heathen foreigner, or worse—an American! In smaller towns, they might put down a girl's wolf the very day of imprinting, before the bond had a chance to settle. A few days of sickness, fever and an upset stomach, and she'd be all right. She wouldn't even remember, a girl that age. That was what they said. (Rebecca and psychic wolves. Warning: contains a mostly off-screen animal death, for those sensitive to that.)</blockquote>

Chip Off the Old Block - petrichoral

http://archiveofourown.org/works/1225600

<blockquote>Elliot thought he was prepared for elven culture. He finds he is really not prepared for Serene’s parents. “I am Fire-Red-Hair-Blows-in-the-Wind,” the elf man said, leading them up a grassy path. Up ahead, there was a wooden mansion that seemed to have grown organically between three massive oaks. “Please call me Fire. Although I went by ‘Fred’ for a while when I was travelling among the humans; do use that if it makes you more comfortable.”</blockquote>

http://archiveofourown.org/works/2784218

<blockquote>Sophia Wentworth was devoted to her brothers before she found happiness. Then she wanted the same for Frederick . . .</blockquote> ➤ THIS IS SO GOOOOOOD. I mean, the forward momentum disappears towards the latter part of the fic after Sophia and Croft are happily together and the focus shifts more to Frederick's romantic woes, and I could wish it had focused a little more on Sophia/Croft's comfortable happy adult relationship, but even so the fic was fabulous

<blockquote>Mike Webster had already been dreading a return to Camp Algonkian as the oldest camper, but his new counsellor seemed determined to make Mike's summer even worse.</blockquote> ➤ I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT EVERYTHINGGGG. ➤ And like I really love AVLS and it is in some ways the quintessential "back at Algonkian" fic for me, the AVLS Rudy always kind of bothered me with how very on top of every single situation he always is.

He had studied hard, worked diligently, brought himself to the attention of the right people--and ended up with an appointment to the Chrestomanci’s personal staff, as high as one could rise in Flavian’s chosen profession if one hadn’t happened to be born with nine lives. And when he got there he’d found Mordecai waiting for him. Mordecai, who threw all his previous ideas into confusion.</blockquote> ➤ AUUUUUUGH OVERCOME WITH FEELINGS

A Singing Magic - bunn

http://archiveofourown.org/works/473250

<blockquote>Flavia, brought up in the last lingering light of Roman Britain, was carried off from her burning home by a 'laughing giant' of a Saxon, in a raid during which her father and friends were brutally killed. Three years later, her brother found her again - married, and with a child by that same 'laughing giant'. Given the chance to escape back to the Roman British, with her brother and her child, she chose to stay with her husband rather than go with her brother. This story explores what those years were like for Flavia, and how she could come to make that choice.</blockquote> ➤ I am so so happy this fic exists. it's amazing

The Lady Astronaut of Mars - Mary Robinette Kowal

http://www.tor.com/stories/2013/09/the-lady-astronaut-of-mars

<blockquote>By this point, Dorothy was my doctor. Let me be more specific. She was the geriatric specialist who was evaluating me. On Mars. I was in for what I thought was a routine check-up to make sure I was still fit to be an astronaut. NASA liked to update its database periodically and I liked to be in that database. Not that I’d flown since I turned fifty, but I kept my name on the list in the faint hope that they would let me back into space again, and I kept going to the darn check-ups. Our previous doctor had retired back to Earth, and I’d visited Dorothy’s offices three times before she mentioned Kansas and the prairie.</blockquote> ➤ THANKS FOR MAKING ME CRY.
