To Sea - AMarguerite

https://archiveofourown.org/works/48647788

Summary: <blockquote>For the first sentence meme on tumblr, rains-sleet-snow prompted: "The sea was deceptively calm: turquoise and untrustworthy." I can’t tell you why but this prompted a pirate AU. Sir Walter is appointed governor of Nassau and takes his two eldest daughters with him. Anne greatly enjoys her voyage until pirates attack, and their captain seems very familiar….</blockquote>

Three Men In One Day! - Ashling

https://archiveofourown.org/works/25470892

<blockquote>Well, Valancy thought, that was a proposal, no two ways about it.</blockquote> ➤ Odd but surprisingly fun! Don't know though that I'm fond of switching up who's in love first though, I don't think it makes sense for Barney to be that susceptible to love so soon without some time to settle into it, after his previous experience.

<blockquote>No one will sleep until the Princess learns the Stranger’s name.

<blockquote>In another world, Geoffrey Tennant is a man haunted. No, wait. In another world, Geoffrey Tennant is haunted by a very specific ghost.
