    Summary

    “Oh my god, he’s going to take out Verstappen.”
    ---
    "Let me make this clear, Sonny,” Leclerc spat his name mockingly, voice dropping lower, his accent becoming thicker, “you’re only on this grid because your friend is an idiot with too much money. You don’t have the skill to be one of us, and so you’ve turned to reckless idiocy as your only strategy. I don’t care what you do in last place, because it’s where you belong and you’re away from everyone else, but if you even think about going after Max again?”
    Leclerc leaned closer, his green eyes blazing as his voice dropped to a cold whisper. “I’m going to make you regret ever coming back here. You think the media hates you now? You think it’s bad now?” He laughed cruelly. “You won’t be able to leave the damn bathroom without being attacked. Your name will be dragged so thoroughly through the mud that no racing team will accept you. You’ll never race again, professionally or recreationally. Anywhere.”

    Or:

    Sonny Hayes thought he had figured out everything in F1, including Max Verstappen. He had not figured out Charles Leclerc, Scuderia Ferrari racing driver.

    He learns that the hard way.

    Summary

    One warm, rainy day in the library at Pemberley, Caroline overhears something wildly unsuitable for an unmarried woman’s ears. Though she knows it’s wrong, instead of walking away, she walks closer…

    (It's pretty easy to hate Caroline Bingley, even when it's clear she doesn't stand a chance against our dear Lizzie. I've often wondered if Caroline is naive or dumb, and also wondered what fate might await her if she were to get a little more knowledge at the right time in life. Here's my attempt to play with that idea.)

    Summary

    She’s born as the sun sets, when the trees shake and shudder against the homes, so they name her Zephyr, like the wind, and within hours of her birth the disappointment chokes the island.

    (After all, who’s ever heard of a girl for an heir?)

    Or; Girlhood, in fits and starts.

    Summary

    “Why don’t you and Spike just move in together?”
    “Because that would be really weird? We’re neighbors and friends, Dawn; it’s not like we’re dating.”
    Buffy firmly ignored Dawn’s muttered, “You could have fooled me.”

    (Buffy and Spike are neighbors, best friends, confidants. What they aren't is dating. Which is the one thing that everyone assumes they are doing.)
