    Summary

    You're on borrowed time, Fixer, a voice whispers.

    I know, he thinks, as he surveys this cruel, evil, round-cheeked, young version of him. I know.

    Summary

    “…You gave my jacket back through someone else.”
    “I didn’t want to see your face.”
    “Oh.”
    “Kidding.”
    They ate in silence.

    When Childe lands in Sumeru to oversee the Northland Bank after Inazuma’s upheaval, he collides once again with Lumine in an assignment from the Fatui. What better way to shadow the Traveler’s every move then pairing up for a mission on leyline disturbances and crystals by the shore? Yet the roommate hosting traveler at the Akademiya becomes a thread between Lumine and Childe, folding into the silence and sparks neither dares to name.

    The Abyss is a mirror, staring back with sins distorting your reflection.
    This isn’t exactly a love story. Love just happens to thread itself in unexpected ways. This, is a beach episode. One bikini is the mark of an international incident.

    “You ever heard the phrase ‘History doesn’t repeat itself but often rhymes’?”
    “No.”
    “Well now you have." She taps her papers. "A curse was put upon the rest of the Angels: if they ever fell in love with an individual, they would lose both body and mind, becoming Seelie doomed to drift the world forever.” She reads from her scribbled handwriting. “Teyvat, I believe, sees love as a sin.”

    Summary

    Based on a prompt over at Dorothea’s Drama House on Discord, by ‘Wake The Dragon:’
    “OK: hear me out, what if Harry and Daphne got drunk because of a marriage law and eloped and then found out they had a soul bond.”

    None of which is nice if you think about it too hard, so lets write some parody.

    There's a marriage law (a fine tradition in Harry Potter fanfic)
    Harry has to marry Daphne Greengrass. (because that's what the Ministry came up with)
    He decides, well, it's better than being fined.

    Summary

    He always knew he wasn’t good enough for her.

    But somehow, something had gone right — for what felt like the first time in Draco's miserable life. He had one good thing: a blissfully happy, sex-fuelled start of a brand new relationship with Hermione Granger.

    He’d had one good thing.

    Then the Ministry took it away by betrothing her to someone else.

     

    or

     

    Marriage law gone wrong.

     

    (don't worry, neither Draco nor Hermione sleep with anybody else)

    Summary

    Contains slight spoilers for my main series, so read at your own risk :)
    This will be an assortment of short stories, possibly a novella or two, that are standalone within my writing in the ACOTAR multiverse. I'm sticking to Prythian and the world of Terra for now, no multiverse stuffs for me. yet.
    The first three stories will have a very direct tie in to the second book in the "Songs" series: A Song of Justice, they aren't required reading, but they introduce or explain things the will Be On The Test later :)
    The first story is from Rhysand's Mother's POV, during her first Midwinter with the Boys, as children. The second story is about Tamlin meeting Rhysand's Sister, Alexia for the first time told from her POV.

    Summary

    Kinktober Day 15 - Somnophilia – Sweet dreams – Incubus/succubus 

    Sleeplessness can be the downfall of strong man.

    Madara is strong; and still he suffers a bone-deep exhaustion. He’s sought healers and salesmen and folk remedies, but has found no relief in tonics and charms and bundles of burning herbs. Alcohol can make his passing sleep deeper, but still he wakes wretched and sick in the deep of the night, eyes burning and his head pounding in the sun. His vision fogs around the edges and his mind becomes slower, heavier, his thoughts moving through murk that threatens to drown him.

    He knows of many kinds of yokai, from yuki-onna to amanojaku - and while it’s hard to tell which this creature might be more similar to, he can make his assumptions. This pretty yokai would stalk him and seduce him, feed itself on his chakra rather than blood or flesh…and all the tales he knows of such creatures tell of the deep, dreamless slumber their victims enjoy.

    Summary

    The Ultimate Institution is an international agency dedicated to scouting and cultivating the world's hidden talent—the diamonds in the rough. Starting out as a small company, over the years, it has grown into a global force, exemplifying what it means to cultivate humanity's potential. Those who accept 'Ultimate' titles granted by this agency are destined for greatness, bookmarking their page in the great tome of history. With all of the world's most skilled at its fingertips, the Ultimate Institution can accomplish any task, no matter how impossible.

    One question permeates the glamorous mist the Ultimate Institution has over the world, however—what would happen if an agency so grand realized how much power it truly has? Would it continue to operate impartially, or would it *use* that power? If so, then, what would it mean to resist the gatekeeper of modern innovation?

    --

    Fourteen Ultimate title holders, after a brief stay in a strange hospital none of them recognize, are dropped into an arena where they must outwit their ultra-talented peers or die trying.

    Summary

    In another universe, Shadow was created by alchemists who dwelled among the stars. He now spends his days as a hunter, travelling the world to safeguard it from threats, whether they be human or monstrous. But when the hunters' guild asks him to investigate a case of unusual activity in a desolate, rain-soaked town, he is left with more questions than answers. Rumour has it that a monster dwells in the castle above the town, and so begins a decadent, dangerous dance between a battle-scarred hunter and an alluring femme fatale, both of whom are willing to use any means necessary to survive this star-crossed encounter.

    Summary

    Amidst the blossoming recent developments of their relationship, Feng Xin and Mu Qing are summoned to investigate strange new occurrences in an island shared between their two southern domains. They quickly realize that the island holds secrets which may be beyond even their comprehension: declining worship, broken arrays, poisons, a cult leader, an atheist governor, inter-sect conflict, political instability, a vibrant red-light district, a mangrove monster, ghostly interventions, and a secret history which cannot remain buried forever....

    Feng Xin knows that he and Mu Qing are something. But is it love, or is Mu Qing only curious about one thing? And can they clear up their misunderstandings, or is courting Mu Qing a bad idea from the start, doomed to fail like his last great love?

    Mu Qing doesn't know what he wants. He knows that Feng Xin is attracted to him, but will Feng Xin stay by his side once he gets what he's after? Is it worth the risk of opening up, or is he putting his cultivation--and their current relationship--in danger?

    Title is from Li Yu's poem, My Idle Dreams Roam Far (Gazing at the South).

    Summary

    Peter’s just trying to live his life as a normal omega — as normal as an omega can be after being bitten by a radioactive spider. What he certainly did not need while out of costume and quickly falling into heat was to run into Deadpool. Alphas usually didn’t take kindly to what happened to Peter during his unique, super-powered heats. Turns out, Deadpool is the absolute opposite of upset about it.
