Summary
“People often say, ‘Oh, Brakebills is just like Hogwarts.’ Brakebills is not like Hogwarts. Brakebills is based on Oxford in the 1920s, which is where the first half of ‘Brideshead’ is set. I borrowed the whole structure of ‘The Magicians’ from Waugh.”
“He named it one of the most romantic books of all time in 2007, swooning over its ‘dream of love — of both the heterosexual and, more subtly, homosexual varieties — that lasts decades.’”

Summary
Between slipping grades and an explosive break-up, Quentin's first year at Brakebills was coming to a miserable close—and that was before the Beast attacked. Now everyone's cancelling their summer plans to join in the fight against an existential threat, Fillory is both real and much deadlier than in the books, and it turns out Quentin sucks as much at battle magic as he does at everything else. As the war drags on, dying in battle starts to seem like the best possible outcome, the answer to all his problems: one shining moment of glory, and then he's finally free. It's a foolproof plan—until he wakes up and has to do it all over again.
(Or: An action movie about wanting to die, with time loops.)

Summary
There are vampires in New York. It’s 1888 and Quentin Coldwater, the son of a respectable new-money family, attends yet another soul-crushing society party. The underworld he stumbles upon at this one changes his life forever, and marks the beginning of his connection with Eliot, and Eliot’s companion, Margo—both of them vampires. His dearest friends, Julia Wicker and her fiancé James, are from his perspective none the wiser, but Julia’s own life has also been changed. Quentin learns that the world is both stranger and more horrible than he thought, and along the way he deals with his unspoken arrangement of a high-society match to Alice Quinn; encounters conman medium and real psychic, Penny Adiyodi; and eventually learns of Julia’s entanglement with Kady, a woman newly-cursed with a monstrous affliction.

My Verse Distills Your Truth by TheLucindaC, yourtinseltinkerbell

Summary
It’s hard to be The Bard! Quentin Coldwater, playwright for The Whitespire Theater, is supposed to write a fantastic new love story in the span of three weeks. But breaking up with his muse Alice Quinn, and constant badgering from his boss Josh Hoberman, aren’t doing anything to help his crippling writer’s block. That is, until a new, unknown actor appears just in time during auditions, capturing his imagination and his heart. Eliot Waugh has turned to acting for one last adventure before he’s forced to marry Lady Fen of Wessex. Together, Quentin and Eliot risk everything for the chance to show the world that a simple play truly can depict “the beauty of all life.”
Based on Shakespeare in Love (1999) for the Magicians Happily Ever After collection.

After Waterloo.
"Grant felt once more in thrall to him: impelled to protect him, as though Strange were a territory in a country that he had been ordered to defend. Unfair, damned unfair that he should feel so. Strange was not his charge; and yet..."

Summary
“You said we’re friends.”
In the corner of his eye he can see Stiles blink owlishly at that, a thousand hesitations flitting over his face before he settles on, “O–kay, way to hold what a guy says in the heat of the moment against him, got it.”
No. That’s not the only time he’s said it, and they both know it. In the In-N-Out parking lot, once Derek wasn’t being poisoned by human medicine or crushed under agonizing pain, and Stiles wasn’t about to throw up all over him. A couple times since then. All the buddys and some of the big guys. Derek stares at him long enough to make sure he knows they both know.
“…Yeah, okay,” Stiles gives in. “I guess, yeah. Seems weird if we aren’t.”
Derek watches the screen for another moment, head too full for the movie itself but tracking the light and the movement, breathing quietly. “Then, this? All this? It’s inevitable.”
Stiles says nothing for a moment. Maybe he’s cautious. Hopefully he’s afraid.
Instead, he whistles in disbelief. “Wow, you are the biggest downer.”

Derek and Stiles still aren't the main characters.
