Summary
jade and airk have been (best) friends ever since they met at university nearly eight years ago, in a gorgeous college town called Wildwoods. They’ve been on countless adventures together, mostly drunken ones but also a few trips across Europe in between school years. A couple years ago, Jade moved to Tir Asleen to open a bookshop with her sister. In all their years of friendship, Jade’s never met her best friend’s twin sister, Kit, because the girl was always hopping from one place to the next, especially after the twins had lost their father. But that's about to change, for the better, when the two meet at last at one of the biggest events of the year.

(this entire story was inspired by Taylor Swift's song Enchanted (Taylor's version), hence the title)

Summary
“I’m…looking for some books,” he said distractedly, slowly examining the shelves behind Astarion’s head.
“In a bookstore, how strange.”
The other man flushed in a delicious way, pink high in his cheeks.
“Yes – well. They've been rather impossible to find,” he said, taking two steps closer to read the spines. “I have a great need of it, a dual set of cartularies from the abbey here. Copied by the second abbess I believe in the fifteenth century, though the original is much older.”
Astarion looked him over, like seeing him for the first time. It was a rarity that anyone came in looking for something so specific and expensive. He was wet from the rain, his coat fringed with water droplets, dark hair slightly streaked with silver and pulled away from his face. He wasn’t unattractive either, mostly in the way Astarion could sense that underlying desperation that had him chewing the inside of his lip.
A bookstore-meets-university modern AU where they are both complete snobs. Dosed with heavy amounts of frustrated pining and obnoxious conversations about books.

Summary
世界上最大的零售商之一正准备在他的街道上开一家商店。一家书店。他再次低头看了看手中的文章,看到了这样一句话:“我们希望人们不仅仅将这里视为一家书店,更希望能以此为场所形成一个社区。” 好像亨利·福克斯-蒙特克里斯汀知道什么是社区一样。
亚历克斯差点控制不住打碎什么东西。
(全球大型零售商蒙特克里斯汀在SOHO开设了一家新店,由极具魅力且令人难以忍受的亨利·福克斯-蒙特克里斯汀领导,这家店位于亚历克斯以LGBTQ为主导的书店附近,他舒适的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。幸运的是,他可以向他最好的朋友吐露这些烦心事:一个他在网上认识的人,只知道他叫 H。与此同时,亨利正在与他的家人作斗争,希望能为世界做出积极的改变,并爱上了一个他素未谋面的男人。但是......万一有什么变了呢?

(译者的话,False dichotomy, 错误的二分法。二分法,意思是只有两个选择,非黑即白,如果你不选yes, 就等于选了no. 是个伪命题,不希望人们意识到除去这两个选项,还有其他的选择。比如,他少言寡语,肯定是个懦弱的人。商业巨鳄肯定只想着赚钱,不关心消费者。)

Summary
One of the world’s largest retailers is opening a store on his street. A bookstore. He looks down at the article in his hand again and catches sight of a phrase: “We hope that people will see this as more than a bookstore, and hope to foster a sense of community.” As if Henry Fox-Mountchristen has any concept of what community means.
Alex very narrowly does not break something.
(When global mega-retailer Mountchristen opens a new location—led by the infuriatingly attractive and insufferable Henry Fox-Mountchristen—near his LGBTQ-focused bookshop in Soho, Alex's comfortable life is turned upsided down. Luckily, he has one of his best friends to turn to: a guy he met online and knows only as H. Meanwhile, Henry is battling against his family to make a positive difference in the world and falling further in love with a man he's never met. But... what if they changed that?
Yes, it's a You've Got Mail AU. Completely written, updating Tuesdays and Fridays.)

Summary
A young man walks into an old antique shop on a whim. He doesn't know why, and he won't know why until after he's found it. He walks through the tables and shelves of old and new goods, past the racks of coats and hats and piles of books and antique jewelry in display cases. He keeps walking, not knowing what drew him here but knowing his gut was almost always right.
There's a box that catches his eye.
It's shabby and dirty, dust coating the edges of what appears to be a large wooden jewelry box. The gold clasp on the front is tarnished and the hinges on the back are nearly falling off. There's stains and chips in the top of it, engravings lining the sides of the box.
He picks it up and examines it, running thin fingers along the edges of the box but not daring to open it. After a few moments, he takes it to the register and buys it. He does not know why.
Or: There's a box of lifetimes in an antique store. In every one of them, Dazai Osamu and Nakahara Chuuya love one another.

— Добридень! — привітався. — Я шукаю…
Хлопець звів голову і те саме призахідне сонце, протинаючи простір, сяйнуло через вітрину, дісталося окулярів у широкій оправі й впало рідким золотом у глибину карих очей. Серце завмерло у грудях, а потім стрибнуло вслід за променями.

Summary
“Well Christ, ‘Mione, I’ve been standing outside the pub for ten minutes already. Luna and Nev are gonna be late, something about her earring missing a radish.”
Hermione snatched up her keys before taking one last glance around the flat. Turning towards the exit, she furrowed her brow at the redhead’s words and threw her front door open distractedly. “What do you mean she’s missing a radish-”
Screeching to a halt, Hermione fumbled the phone, barely able to maintain cradling it against her ear as she almost ran into someone standing on the small landing. Managing to save herself and the person in question from the impending collision, she glanced up only to become absolutely entranced by the clearest set of azure colored eyes she’d ever seen.
The woman had turned abruptly upon Hermione’s exit from her flat and was gazing at the flustered brunette with barely concealed amusement in her eyes. They seemed to glitter under the landing’s dim lamplight and Hermione was momentarily stunned by the vision in front of her.
Because if Andy and Bella were the night sky, then Hermione was sure Narcissa Black was the moonlight shining from above.
