Summary
Mary Bennet agrees to spend the London season with the newly married Darcys. She discovers that she would still infinitely prefer a book. But hiding in the library at balls and parties is not the solution, as an odd young man keeps turning up there.
“'Miss Bennet', she says. I did not know my Conscience would have such an ordinary name.”
“I am not your conscience, sir,” Mary said, feeling made fun of and annoyed to be shaken out of her reverie for nonsense. “And whimsicality such as this, whilst charming in a child, is not so appealing in a grown man.”
“Wait,” he said. “Do wait. I am so used to speaking in that silly way with silly young women that I quite forgot myself. Please stay and talk a little more.”
(from the prompt "Mary's season in London. Her moralising is a trial to her sisters but in the end she outshines them all.")
ETA Thank you to Prinzenhasserin for helping me bounce around some ideas, and to Burglebezzlement for the offer of betaing!

Summary
Maybe it's the little girl whose disappearance turned into a murder, and whose murder turned into a cold case, and who has now apparently decided to move in with him. Maybe it's the unacceptable hole left in his life when his dumb best friend and partner in (the prevention of) crime decided to go and get himself killed. Maybe it's his brother, whose high-profile career and fantastic girlfriend and first-child-on-the-way are steadily leaving Dean in the dust. Pick one. Pick all of them. The why doesn't matter so much as the what, and the what is this: Dean is pretty sure he's going completely, certifiably insane. Sure, he hasn't started wearing all his clothes inside out, and he still showers on a regular basis (anyways, that's not crazy, just a little eccentric); but there's no getting around the fact that he just threw away his life, his career, and his reputation by dragging out his mom's old necromancy book and summoning a Class A Forbidden Entity to his attic. A cranky one, too. With horrendous bed-head.

Summary
“I’m human,” Lonnie says almost absentmindedly and she tightened and loosened her grip on the handle. “This shouldn’t be happening.” The scales were rather pretty, Lonnie thought but the claws looked rather dangerous.
“Yeah, well that doesn’t look so human to me,” Jay said softly. Sometimes, you couldn’t tell who was human and who wasn’t, Jay thought to himself. “So maybe don’t wave it around until we can talk to someone about it.”
--
Maleficent has been defeated and Ben has been crowned High King of the United States of Auradon. Everything should be perfectly fine now, right? Happy Endings all around? Well, there is the small matter of the few villains who escaped when the hole in the barrier appeared and the fact that Lonnie is somehow turning into a dragon. As it turns out, both of those things end up being the least of their worries.
