Impossible Magic - lorata

https://archiveofourown.org/works/13072971

<blockquote>(Time goes by so slowly / and time can do so much) Daystar must always destroy the barrier, enter the castle and find his father. He must always be at least sixteen years old when he did so in order to wield the sword. But what if — what if he had been sixteen years old already when the wizards cast their spells? What if Cimorene could fix it so no one had to wait very long at all? In that case, what she and Daystar would one day do need not be changed; it was only a matter of when. In which Cimorene ignores thaumaturgical convention and decides to get those sixteen years back.</blockquote>

The Bootlegger - storm_queen

http://archiveofourown.org/works/5429582

<blockquote>Cool was the breeze in the evening, along the darkened street. The city was retiring, closing shutters at every suite. But even in that stillness, you could hear the faintest sound, Of the music that was playing - playing, swaying - The music faintly playing from the jazz band underground.</blockquote> ➤ The Highwayman rewritten in the prohibition era! In very good verse in the style of the original!
