The Grand Manner by brutti_ma_buoni
A miscreant had inveigled himself into the space behind her, quite undetected. She startled as his arms clasped her firmly round the waist. / "I cannot see your face, but I trust, sir, that you are my affianced husband? If not, I fear your lifespan will be sadly curtailed within a brief time. I have yet to convince my lord that his violent impulses should sometimes be controlled." / The miscreant laughed in her ear. Mary shivered at the contact of even that slight breath of air. And his arms were still around her. / "Have done, wench. You know perfectly well it is I. And you may save the lectures for after we're safely wed, my dear." Wonderfully funny and sharp look at Mary and Vidal (and Avon and Leonie) at their betrothal ball. really captures the characters and the narrative voice of the book, and I do love the way Mary handles Vidal, and also Avon's soft spot for her and his family.
Her Grace by girlyswot
Mary tries to comfort Vidal in his grief over Avon's death. Lovely.

Little Women
Sonatas and Nocturnes by Ishyko
The ending Little Women should have had, with Jo going to Paris and hooking up with Laurie again. And being allowed to be her brilliant, practical, melodramatic self. ♥

Big Bang Theory
The Cheap Trick Acceleration by Liviapenn
Penny racks her brain for the next twenty miles, trying to think of a subtle way to bring up the topic of meeting your time-traveling future self, or being sent on a mission to avert an apocalypse-related death. Finally she tells herself Forget it, Penny, it's Nerdtown. Sheldon and Leonard have weirder conversations six times a day. Sometimes before breakfast. Sometimes over Twitter. Absolutely note-perfect story in which future!Sheldon comes back in time to get Penny and current!Sheldon to realize their destiny. Hilarious and awesome. I love how smart Penny is in this, and how much nerdery she's picked up from the guys. ♥
