Summary
A Stitch in Time is a slow burn Holmes x OC romance threaded through with family drama, casefic mystery, and a creeping, almost fairy tale sense that something older is waking in the shadows of London. It follows a consulting detective who does not believe in magic, a woman who refuses to be only a victim or a muse, and the Holmes family as they learn that protecting one small, stubborn heart may be the most complicated case they will ever take. (This does not follow the Enola Holmes or Sherlock Holmes stories but does reference them. In a very loose way is similar to ‘Cheating Men Must Die’ world hopping.)
I’m making an effort to tag the chapters ahead of time/going forward so if there is an issue that could be triggering you’d know and can skip.

Summary
London’s smog is nothing its inhabitants aren’t used to. Over the years, most stifle their coughs as they step over the cracks in the pavements, worn down by time and showing London’s growing population.
The grey sky dips into a deeper hue, smoke swirling in the air from chimneys— be it by the means of factories, bustling with people that most can recall the conditions of, or any other establishment. With the mere blink of an eye, they disappear in the mist. With another, more factories replace what once lied, leaving nothing but the memories provided in years of service. All jobs seem to do is go, leaving most hopelessly wandering to find work, only to be turned down once more. Slowly, people learn to survive with the little they have been blessed with. The days go by, people die, and life moves on.
The world spins, the hours and minutes go by, and life moves past all who do not get off the ground and dust themselves off, and it will continue to do so until its inevitable demise, far beyond anyone in its current state’s comprehension, and it will long outlive them all.

Summary
In a city where status is everything and secrets are currency, Lenore Vandernacht is trapped under the weight of family expectations and a future she never chose. After years of isolation, she finds herself back in New York’s high society—reconnected with her brother Theodore, suffocated by her parents’ demands, and haunted by a past she's tried to forget. But everything shifts the night she meets Annabel Whitlock, a sharp-tongued beauty with a guarded heart and a smile that unravels her.
What begins as a quiet, stolen connection blooms into something deeper, more dangerous. As pressure mounts to secure a suitor before the season’s end, Lenore is thrust into an impossible game, pushed toward a marriage that would silence her forever, while the girl she’s falling for is being courted by her own brother.
Torn between duty and desire, Lenore must choose: obey the life set out for her, or risk everything for a love that society—and her family—would never allow.
Inspired by Bridgerton.

Summary
In the shadow of the War of 1812, the Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins is fractured, its once-proud legacy reduced to whispers and scattered cells. Among the ruins, Wunnegen, a young Indigenous woman taken from her raided village as a child and saved by a master Assassin, is drawn into the dangerous world of the Creed, trained by a mentor who knows the cost of loyalty better than anyone.
As she struggles to navigate an America ever threatening to expand and take her people’s land, she crosses paths with a formidable Templar of wealth and influence. Allegiances blur, and the truth becomes a matter of perspective. Every choice carries a consequence: one wrong move could destroy the Brotherhood, the fragile bonds of love, or the land she fights to protect.

Summary
In 1803, sixteen-year-old Benedict Bridgerton is spending the summer in Paris when the Napoleonic Wars are declared and he becomes a prisoner of war. The Bridgertons constantly worry about their missing brother, working to find a way to bring him home when suddenly the letters stop.
In 1807, eighteen-year-old Sophie Baek is illegally sold as a maid to a family in Verdun, when she meets Benjamin Sojourner, a mysterious and handsome young Englishman who lost his memory in an accident three years earlier.
In 1814, twenty-five-year-old Colin Bridgerton is touring France when Sophie Lefèvre, a happily married seamstress invites him home for dinner. Upon arriving to the Lefèvre residence, Colin is shocked to run into his long thought dead brother, Benedict, now happily married with four children and has no idea what the hell Colin is talking about when he calls him “Benedict” much less “brother.”
How Colin is going to explain this one to the family is anyone’s guess.

Summary
That's not an insect bite. That's a healed vampire bite, red as if it happened only some days ago. Chan can feel his eyes widen, and next to him, Changbin's eyebrows shoot up. Like being thrown into cold water.
“Before you stone me,” Minho raises his hands placatingly and gestures to himself. “Everything happened consensually.”
Or, after learning that their vampire friends have turned to each other for blood, the others are left confused and slightly (or not-so-slightly) worried. There's no time for confusing feelings and tension, though, when Monster Hunters and faces some of them never wanted to see again start haunting the place they call home.
There's still time for kisses, though. And not just between those who confessed their love prior to brushing lips.

Summary
When the Duke of Wiltshire hires Miss Hermione Granger to be the new governess for his young sister and his ward, they both assume it will be like any other post.
The duke does not imagine a woman with an unknown past who makes the Manor's corrupted magic react the moment she steps foot on the grounds. And Hermione is not expecting one of her charges to be shrouded in mysteries that she feels compelled to solve, even though the duke continues to get in her way.
Set against a dying Malfoy Manor, the launching of a young lady in her first Season, and a deepening medical mystery, our favorite couple is drawn together and may find love.
But there is a problem, and it's even larger than their differences in station: the Manor is hungry, and it wants Hermione all for itself.
