69) A FRENCH DOCTOR AT ABBEYFIELDS by LAURA MACDONALD
Mills & Boon Medical Romance
A country affair
When Dr Jo Grant arrives in Abbeyfields she has no intention of leaving her Parisian lifestyle behind. But the welcome she finds from the villagers and their appreciation of her much needed skills, not to mention the growing affection she has for her local GP Dalek Sec and his two adorable young children, creates a bond that she just can’t ignore…
Jo is drawn to life in the charming English village, and torn between it and life in Paris. The question is, can Sec get her to admit that she loves him enough to make her want to stay?

106) A Reputation For Revenge- Jennie Lucas
Playing a very dangerous game... G'Kar's heart pounds in his chest as he approaches the imposing penthouse of formidable Russian Prince Sherlock Holmes. He might have agreed to marry him to save his sister, but the icy glitter in Sherlock's unflinching eyes warns that he's not a man to be played with. The final piece of the puzzle has fallen into place and revenge is at Sherlock's fingertips; the champagne's on ice and his new husband waits in the bedroom - victory has never been sweeter. But G'Kar's purity tests the one thing Sherlock never knew he had - honour.

129) The Harlot- Saskia Walker
It is a Dark Era, one when a lusty lass will do what she must to survive. Even if it means bartering flesh for a palmful of coins. . .
Forced to watch her mother burn at the stake, Donna Noble knows the danger of the gift she inherited - a powerful magic that must stay hidden. Until one night when she's accused of witchcraft and Donna finds herself behind prison walls, awaiting certain death with a roguish priest unlike any man of the cloth she has known. In reality, Gene Hunt is as far from holy as the devil himself, but his promise of freedom in return for her services may be her salvation. Locked into a dubious agreement, Donna resents his plan to have her seduce and ruin his lifelong enemy. But toying with Gene's own lust for her is enjoyable, and she agrees to be his pawn while secretly intending to use him just as he is using her. . . .

126) The Outrageous Belle Marchmain- Lucy Ashford
A MARRIAGE MOST INCONVENIENT!
Agreeing to a fake betrothal should suit both society dressmaker Sapphire and landowner Kristine Kochanski fittingly - clearing Sapphire's debts and keeping Kristine's wife-hunters at bay. Even if blue-blooded Sapphire, with her extravagant clothes and razor-sharp tongue, despises the very air that nouveau riche Kristine breathes! If Kristine wants a wife who's agreeable she has her work cut out. Yet when her demanding mouth caresses Sapphire's for the first time ever she's lost for words. Maybe Kristine's found the one way to tame the only woman who's ever stood up to her and make her say, 'I do...'

there's no way you can list him as Rumplestiltskin Gold, because that's not his name

That's not actually a problem. The generator has four pieces of information for each person (full name, short name, family name and which gender of pronoun to use) and the full name needn't be the two others stuck together. For example, Romana is entered as { longname: 'Romanadvoratrelundar', shortname: 'Romana', surname: 'Dvora', pn: 'F' }.

So your last comment gives me enough information to include the characters you've listed up to and including Robin Hood, except for Cora, Aurora, Mulan and Dr Whale, and I've uploaded a new generator. Currently the OUAT group aren't included in 'Everyone' — you have to select 'Once Upon a Time [Experimental]' from the list on the left.

17)HER FINAL FLING by Joanne Rock
Spending time with Emma Swan is doing crazy things to jet-setting Regina Mills’s libido. Yet every time she makes a seductive move, she slips away…until she proposes a fling. No hassle, no strings, just a lot of adult fun. But after just a few steamy kisses, she’s breaking those rules and feeling much more than heat for her. Looks as if she has to convince her that this will be her final fling!

[thisbluespirit]

Okay, you could probably then get away with:

Cora Mills
Leroy Dwarf
Aurora Princess
(and, okay, we'll live with one spoiler) Victor Frankenstein
Zelena Mills

& not worry about the rest.

But I don't know how to rescue Mulan, which is very awkward, because she should be in there if Aurora is. Mulan Warrior, perhaps?

And, LOL at the perfect summary. Actually, now that I come to think of it, it sounds a lot like Emma/Regina fic on AO3 as it is... (And depending on which season's Regina it is, final could defnitely be taken more ways than one.)

I thought it might be especially fun, because some of the characters are recognisable from elsewhere, which adds a nice bit of further crack into the proceedings. Not to mention the fact that stealing hearts is taken very literally in OUaT.

Thanks!!

75) Her Passionate Plan B by Dixie Browning
Archie Hopper had the perfect plan to catch a good man… until a sexy stranger showed up out of nowhere! With his all-male looks Rumplestiltskin could melt a man like chocolate on a summer day. But marriage material? Men like Rumplestiltskin are good for one thing – wild, scorching sex. The sooner Rumplestiltskin finds his family roots and leaves town, the better…

THAT LAST SENTENCE. *dies*

[john_amend_all]

Wikipedia suggests family names of 'Zhu', 'Wei' and 'Hua' for the legendary Mulan, if that's any use.

[thisbluespirit]

OUaT has little to do with history and much more to do with fairy tales and Disney, so probably best not. ;-)

[thisbluespirit]

*has one play with the generator*

... and that was the bit where I remembered that also everyone is related to everybody else. :lol:

[john_amend_all]

OK, I'm expanding it to handle families (sadly, this will stop it shipping one Doctor with another, but c'est la vie). Who's related to whom?

[thisbluespirit]

Everybody is related to everybody, seriously. But I'll give you the ones that are blood relations and not the adoptive/step/weird ones (because it's not like the fact that Regina is technically Emma's evil step-grandmother stops anyone shipping them, nor does it stop Emma going out with the guy who ran off with the mother of her ex-boyfriend, anyway.)

This, btw, is spoilery in some places. If you do ever watch OUaT, I'm really sorry about this...

Emma Swan is the daughter of Snow White and David Nolan.

Regina Mills and Zelena Mills are the daughters of Cora Mills.

Neal Cassidy is the son of Rumplestiltskin.

(I already left out Henry Mills, because he's only 10-12 or so, and is related to everyone, anyway.)

[john_amend_all]

OK, give it a go now and see what comes out.

[thisbluespirit]

I played around for it a while - it seems to be okay on the others, but it gave me Cora/Zelena and Regina/Zelena - Zelena is Cora's daughter along with Regina. But everything else seems fine. :-)

ETA: It also just gave me Emma Swan and David Nolan as well.

[john_amend_all]

I've adjusted the code and it seems better behaved now.

[thisbluespirit]

It does indeed, although it hasn't yet given up its devotion to shipping Belle/Robin Hood.


(It also likes Cora/Aurora, so obviously it's got poetical tendencies in there.)

:-)

(ETA: Belle and Robin aren't related (well as far as we know yet), it's just amusingly persistent about it.)
