Summary
Set in regency era London, this is my take on a smosh-inspired season of Bridgeton (Netflix). Mainly focusing on Lord Trevor Evarts, Lady Arasha Hecox, Lord Damien Haas, and Miss Angela Topp. I took liberties to make some people related for story purposes (i.e. Arasha is Ian’s daughter), and tried to condense the story to one social season.
It’s gonna make a lot more sense if you’ve seen Bridgerton. I do not own these characters and I’m not affiliated with smosh or bridgerton.

The course of true love (never did run smooth) by Denadareth
Fandoms: Avatar: Legend of Korra

Summary
LYSANDER:
Ay me! For aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth. (Midsummer's Night Dream, Act I, Scene I)Asami Sato was a rising Hollywood star when, surrounded by vicious rumours, she traded red carpets for rehearsal halls, leaving behind the shallow glare of the film industry for a shot at real theatre at the elite (and cutthroat) Zaofu Theatre Conservatory. Korra’s been the department’s golden girl (and resident heartbreaker) for over a year — and she’s not about to let some ex–movie star steal her stage. But when casting lists, late-night rehearsals, even later-night bar shifts, crazy parties, and a disastrous roommate shuffle keep throwing them together, rivalry starts looking a lot like chemistry.
But let's face it, everything looks like chemistry if you add some Shakespeare.

My Immortal (The Shakespeare Play) by LudacrisFool
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, My Immortal
15 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
"My Immortal: A Gothic Romance after Miss Rowlinges Harry Potter" was a play distributed in serial format via printed pamphlets on the streets of London from 1606 to 1607 by an author using the name of "Tara Gilesbie," although this is believed to be a pseudonym; questions of its true authorship persist to this day. A derivative of the immensely popular Harry Potter books and plays of the day, it was likely never performed; its scripts proved popular, yet only due to the immense ineptitude of its author. The complete work is presented here, including the marginal notes of the author.
(Actually, it's just My Immortal written as if it were a play from Shakespeare's era. And boycott Harry Potter merch etc. to fight bigotry. First two chapters originally posted to Reddit.)

"And then one day, I saw one of your plays. And for the first time, theatre was more."
Hal and Bolaire meet in a theatre. Or rather, Bolaire meets Hal, and tries to gather some information about the comedian who finally inspired him.
A silly little fic in the form of a play to channel my obsession with these two characters and their relationship.

Summary
Lu Guang had not cracked the code, unable to figure out why some deaths were predestined while others were not. It haunted him. If it weren’t insomnia keeping him awake most nights, it was guilt, or constant analysis of event progression and variables in hopes that somehow, someday, he can change the ultimate outcome. Alas, he continues to fail, with a faint flickering hope that someday, it might go better. Sometimes, things progressed even worse than ever before. It would begin again, but not quite anew.
Alt: Brief observations of Lu Guang's trauma throughout many timelines, with moments of joy between. Everyone suffers.

Summary
When Yelena finds out she and Kate Bishop are both in town on business, she invites the archer out to dinner, for a fun girls night. It ends up being anything but.
Inspired by “Last Kiss” by J Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers (song.link for your favorite service).
“I should have known this was your idea of a date,” Kate chuckled, before holding on to the door for dear life as Yelena suddenly threw the enormous red stretch limousine in reverse.
“Who said anything about a date?” Yelena countered, as she whipped the car around and turned down an intersecting street.
“You asked me if I wanted to get dinner…”
“You were in town…”
“…and asked me to wear a dress, which I only do for you, by the way…”
“Can I help it if you look killer in that dress? Besides, it reminds me of the night in the elevator, at the Christmas party…”
“…and you pick me up in a limousine…” The show of sentimentality from the blonde surprised Kate, in a good way, but she continued probing nevertheless.

Summary
The first time he sees James is when James tries to buy drugs from him. Knocking on his door as he was attempting to study. Malcolm opened the door and saw a freshman, a little taller with curly brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was wearing jeans and a Harvard hoodie. “I’m not selling anything. I’m trying to quit.” Malcolm immediately says, trying not to sound as annoyed as he feels.
“Really? I brought it from you just last week.” Malcolm suddenly remembers, he was with a friend at the time and he’d paid three thousand up front. That money would be life-changing for his family.
Or Malcolm’s at Harvard university when he starts to realise some things about himself

Summary
While browsing the Internet one day, as one does when he or she is bored, I noticed that Tom Hiddleston and Isabelle Fuhrman had a lot in common. If they met now, I'm sure they'd be good friends. However, I wondered what their relationship would be today if they'd met several years ago. This story answers that question.
