"Younger sons cannot marry where they like." - Col Fitzwilliam (Pride & Prejudice)
~
There’s little use in being a gentleman when you’re the younger son of a younger son. In fact, the person with the greatest chance of succeeding around here is Ginevra (if only she’d be reasonable).
But the willful sons and daughter of Burrough House in Devonshire may just find their way with a little nerve and a lot of heart (and some very unladylike behaviour).

Sic semper tyrannis
It is the morning of 26th December 1968 and the scandal breaks like a storm: Minister Nobby Leach has been poisoned. The suspect, Abraxas Malfoy, sits in a holding cell, red-handed and innocent. Auror Alice Longbottom is leading the investigation - not into the poisoning, but into a string of strange crimes: people vanishing, candlesticks stolen, and rumours that the dead are coming back. The Department of Mysteries is reluctant to help: James Selwyn left the office three weeks ago under a cloud of suspicion, and since then the Death Chamber has been locked, its contents sealed away.
Eyes are watching everything, everywhere, spying on protests and squishing riots, but talk is growing in the shadows: turning from unrest to rebellion to revolution.
Lord Voldemort is ready.

With everything in life, there is a season. And they are always changing.
Maria Wynstone is mostly content with a quiet life at her family's country estate, but as the daughter of a gentleman farmer, she knows that a few bad seasons can make all the difference to one's circumstances. And Maria has had her fair share of bad seasons in Town, to make her never wish to quit there again.
Arthur Colbourne does not mind the law per se, but an embarrassing bumble in court rattles his confidence to the point where he questions all he's ever worked for. However, when his Uncle Wallace unexpectedly dies and he inherits the estate, Arthur finds himself thrust into a role that he is quite underprepared for, particularly when he meets the daughter of his new neighbour, Miss Maria Wynstone.
Drawn to her quiet charms, Arthur finds himself feeling things he's never experienced before. And when the delightful Miss Wynstone receives startling news about her brother, Gerry, Arthur cannot help but offer his services to help her find the truth of what happened to him. As the hunt for Gerry reaches a critical turning point, both Maria and Arthur are confronted not only for their growing feelings for one another, but also ghosts from their pasts. They must then find a way to move beyond their individual failings, should they want to succeed together.

Zoya Nazalensky thought nothing could be worse than taking an intro acting class as a senior.
Then she met Nikolai Lantsov.
When Lan Wangji walks out of his high-end dental practice in Shanghai, he gets in his car and just drives.
Wei Wuxian isn't sure how or why Lan Wangji ended up in Jinxi, but he's not sure the village life is really for him.
The only problem? Lan Wangji is too stubborn to realise this and somehow, he's made this Wei Wuxian's concern.

There are Jiangshi corpses on the streets, a statue dancing through the parks, and rumours of Yin Iron and corruption slipping in with the mists from the sea.
These things are normal.
There is a toddler found alone on a boat and burning, a strange man with a red ribbon sits in Lan Wangji's seat, and the Little Apple Twist mocktail now has vodka.
These things are not.
Or, Wei Wuxian returns to Hong Kong and really, everything spirals out of control from there.
Reginald Dennison, the future Lord Mahglin, steals a forbidden book from his father's library and begins to learn some dangerous Dark Magic curses. Liam is a Fifth Year and is elected prefect! His relationship with Vanessa starts up strong, but soon hits a rough patch. Will they stay together? Stacy discovers her mystery future girlfriend. Benedict is slowly drawn into a complex relationship with the Slytherin girls, Alyssa, Freya and Meriko. Plus, Neville Longbottom returns to Hogwarts.

Francie Farrell isn't sure what to do, and that's putting it lightly. When Lily Potter isn't ignoring her outright, she's warning her not to say a word about their interactions to anyone, but how is she supposed to explain away all that dragon's blood?
Hogwarts, Britain's largest community of magical learning, is only decades old and already bitterly divided. England has fallen to a foreign king. And as the stone walls of Hogwarts grow ever higher, whispers say that Salazar Slytherin is plotting something... Two students from either side of a war are driven together by events that will change Britain, magical and non-magical, forever.
It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a young witch in possession of prodigious talent, must be in want of a rival.
See what happens when a Rose full of pride (and not a little prejudice) meets a Scorpius full of neither.
Like P&P the romance will eventually come, but Rose has to fall in hate with Scorpius long before she finds out how much he really means to her.
*sigh* because it is a thing now, I have to say that this was started before the Cursed Child came out, and as such is probably non-compliant with it. *even deeper sigh*
