    Summary

    "She wouldn’t run if this wasn’t bad. He’s known her for twenty years, he knows her better than he knows himself most days. She wouldn’t run if this wasn’t bad"

    He can't lose her, won't lose her, absolutely refuses to even contemplate the idea; so why can he feel his breathing picking up and his chest pounding and have his legs always been jelly?

    Angst, romance, all of the feelings. Tony thinks aliens would be preferable.

    There will be no character death, ever.

    Summary

    David Silva was used to failure. Supernatural fiction writers haven't exactly been successful since the forties, since the world's old dreams and nightmares were brought into being and new ones were spawned. Why would anyone want to read about the things that go bump in the night, when they can just go out and talk to them?

    Still, David didn't expect to even fail at dying.

    Summary

    Kaylee was an ordinary thirty year old career woman. Unfortunately for her, a digital un-god decided that it had better uses for her.

    Ripped from the middle of her career and family life, she finds herself plummeting in a digital sky in the body of a character she had drawn up in ninth grade. Positioned on the side of evil in the middle of a digiwar between the digidestined and the Order Of The Great Release From Existence, all she really wanted was to go back home.

    She grew past this stuff.

    At least, that's what she tells herself.

    Summary

    Marriage is a prison, Rhaenyra had said, many different times, in many different words. So often when she was courting she’d expressed her dismay, convinced that her suitors did not want her as Rhaenyra, but as a key to her birthright, her name, her lineage. Because whoever marries Rhaenyra will be King.

    Whoever marries Rhaenyra will be King.

    After the Last Supper, Alicent and Rhaenyra say goodnight to Viserys together. Lord Beesbury lives to change history.

    Alicent knows Aegon is not fit to rule, but she still fears Daemon's ascension. Inspired by the fate of the first and last Storm Queen, she proposes a creative way to save Rhaenyra by installing Aemond as her King Consort.

    Rhaenyra is the key to the Seven Kingdoms, and the Hightowers hold her in their hands. More importantly, they hold the mother of seven children. And while Daemon is a formidable commander, he's also a terrible parent.

    POVs: Rhaenyra, Alicent, Baela, Rhaena, Jace, Ser Harrold, Lord Beeeeeeesbury

    Summary

    Routine had always been a detestable word in Cicero's mind. Usually, because it revolved around his mind's torment and his withering sanity. Even in the best of days, all he could do was dedicate himself to a magnificent, hideous corpse. Now, though, he finds himself pleasantly enjoying it.

    A full year since his arrival in Skyrim has passed, where all manner of event had come to pass. Now standing as a proper equal to his brother and sister, he relishes the sensation he once knew but had allowed himself to forget: a living Brotherhood. Though the going isn't always smooth, a returned will means a revivified dignity. And though the Listener's abscenses grow lengthier and more frequent, Cicero finds himself as steady as he can be as the Brotherhood's Keeper. Unforunately, this does nothing for his relentless pain and solace.

    Summary

    他努力地眯起眼睛朝钥匙孔里看,想看清楚那头到底是哪个家伙。尽管那个身影模模糊糊的,但是他绝不会看错那抹红色。

    红色?红……Campbell从来不穿这种颜色……David只会在星期六来找他……这是……不,他的前任不可能来找他……Catherine当然也不会……

    Summary

    Nicole lived by the words of the old drunkard who trained her and her partner-in-hunting Jecka: The best devil hunters are the ones who’ve got a few screws loose, because they can fight without fear. Strength, cunning and knowledge can only take you so far; a touch of insanity is what you need to go toe-to-toe with the heavy hitters. Nicole thought she could live like this ‘til death and keep knocking her screws loose, probably for five years at least.

    But two years of constantly saving and being saved by your best friend does a number on you. Now, she’s uncertain she can keep fighting like she has nothing to lose, because she has something to lose now. And that something is blonde, addicted to menthol cigarettes and fucking loves Mariya Takeuchi’s Expressions album.

    Summary

    Hoseok turns his attention to Yoongi. “This is what’s happening. Seokjin and I are Jeoseung Saja. Ganglim, more specifically. You got that right. We pull souls from bodies just before death and guide them to the afterlife. And soon, you will do that too.”
    Yoongi stares at him. "Excuse me?"
    “You’re a soul reaper, Yoongi. Or you will be. You’ll remain a ghost tethered to me until after your funeral, and then you will be re-embodied into a new corporeal form.”
    ~~~

     

    Yoongi dies in a motorcycle accident after a catastrophic argument with his boyfriend of 13 years. When he learns that he is fated to stay on Earth in a new body as a grim reaper, he hopes it means he can get a second chance with the love of his life.

    A hollow Ghost with a haunted heart. A lost Rebel seeking the missing. A sharp-tongued Charmer carving his own fate. And a Holy Man carrying the dawn's light.

    Summary

    Training, contracts, fighting, assassinations, socializing, conversations. With a considerably more normal routine, Cicero rediscovers more and more pieces of the man who he thought he was. Though still his Night Mother's loyal Keeper, it's the Listener who manages to break him from that rigid shell of madness, self-pity and self-hate. Unfortunately, a deadly sword like that cuts both ways, and her absence is the most acute wound he's made to suffer time and time again.

    Exhausted and defeated, the Brotherhood's resident alchemist brews him a concoction for deeper sleep and peace of mind, much to his relief. Then again, life has never once played straight with Cicero, so why should his dreams be any different?

    Sequel to Fool's Journey.

    Summary

    Astarion felt safest with a blade in his hand. He thumbed his new dagger. A wordless gift plucked from a rotting flesh pile; the remains of a person who’d been ripped across the beach. The blade was sharper than the one he’d pulled on the sorcerer, and it drew blood effortlessly.

    This is a tale of two monsters seeking, and often failing, to overcome their true nature. To be better than what they are, and were made to be. The path to redemption is slicked red — filled with bloodlust, horror and filial duty — but does not need to be walked alone. Join Astarion on his journey out of the dark, and the mysterious sorcerer he meets along the way.
