Summary
Originally started as a single anthology to collect my Sylvia/Finn one-shots. This fic now serves as Part 1 of the series of the same name, containing the earlier stories. Going forward, each new one-shot will be posted as its own standalone fic, but all will be linked together under the series Tinctures and Tides: Finn/Sylvia One-Shots. This way, readers who prefer browsing by individual stories can do so, while those who want the original collection can still find it here.
One tag per chapter (starting at "aggressive cuddling"). Asterisks on the spicy/er installments. First chapter is a table of contents.
