Summary
— Lunatic. — Arkha growls, he doesn’t seem that worried about it, not even close to angry even though there’s a wrinkle between his brows.
— Call me whatever you want, you’re the one who wanted to be by my side, bonded. — He is forced to make a brief dramatic pause, to move closer to the man’s ear and whisper a soft — Forever.
Or
Tamsy and his boss go on a date.
And it's a complicated relationship, like in Seesaw, my other work.Series

Summary
A field report. A confession. A cry for help disguised as deadpan observation.
Five people (more or less) follow a Commissar through the rotting spine of the Imperium.
One of them is an ork. One of them is named Steve. One of them might’ve danced with a daemonette once.
No one is laughing. Except the ork.This is the old kind of Warhammer story: baroque, heretical, half-funny in a way that makes you feel worse afterward. There are no Space Marines hugging it out. There are no spiritual journeys. Everyone is tired, and the prayer books are damp.

Summary
Blazing fire and smoldering ash, two sides of the same coin. Fire can both destroy and sustain life.
Steadfast earth, unyielding and eternal, holds the power to guide the flames. Soothing water, a balm
for the wounded soul, maintains a delicate balance between destruction and creation.However, one cannot simply create whatever they desire through alchemy. The laws of equal exchange
must be followed. Alchemy is not mere magic, but a sacred and disciplined art of transmutation.
A fragile truce may be present now, but it was not easily achieved. The shadows of our enemies linger,
ominous and menacing, ready to engulf us once more if we falter. Can we break the chains of our past
and forge a daunting yet promising future?Or will the flames of war consume us all?

Summary
There’s a game in this world not many people know about — but enough do. They say you can become younger if you play. Maybe if you’re blind, there’s a chance you’ll be able to see again. Or if you have any other kind of disability.
They’ve got you hook, line, and sinker.
He likes playing dangerous games. If you think about it — that’s more your element. You know, the hand magic, misdirection, and a whole lot of practice, starting from childhood. The coin trick was never the beginner stage and even back then seemed stupid and meaningless to you. What’s the point of pulling things from behind the ear of a surprised girl you like? To get her attention, impress her with cheap tricks? But where’s the profit in that? The disappearance of coins interested you much more — at least when there were four of them. You were always traded — bartered, slipped out from under a parent’s hand, stolen and wild. And if you think about it, that one word echoes through your whole life.

Summary
After losing her soulmate in a DoorDash gone wrong, Emilia Cartwright is barely holding it together, when she's suddenly yanked through realms and dropped on Hell's doorstep.
Thanks to a political initiative that definitely violates the Geneva Conventions, she's forced to attend demon school, complete with murderous classmates, conniving angels, and one immortal Sorcerer with a tragic and frighteningly relevant backstory.
While battling monsters, learning that magic is thrilling, lethal and both all at once, uncovering the secrets of seven demon brothers, revolting against multi-millennia enemies, and discovering her own roots aren't as human as she thought...she somehow has time for romance.
Whether it’s the safe path with someone who reflects her first love, or the hard, morally grey route that will drive her insane, who knows?
Subtlety? Never heard of her. -

Summary
Nelsonville was quiet tonight; so sleepy an untrained eye might think it was playing dead. The uninformed might think Nelsonville was perfectly safe, but look behind the mask and you’d see that it’s only mostly perfectly safe: a community in major need of minor assistance. Yes, statistically, it was one of the safest hamlets in Ohio, but there’d been two robberies just in the past six months, and by two different people! Money laundering was rampant—Liv didn’t believe for a second that that mini golf course was a legitimate business—and someone was growing a field of Marijaunas in the woods behind her middle school.
There’d also been five murders, but the victim in all of them had been the same girl, so Liv wasn’t sure they counted.
-----------
The life and times of three bottom-rung capes with strangely thematically similar powers, set in 2007-era Nelsonville, Ohio, population 3,381.

Summary
Vera Lorne was sent to audit the Resistance--quietly, efficiently, and without getting attached.
Division Nine was supposed to stay invisible. Poe Dameron was supposed to follow orders. Neither plan is holding up particularly well.
Between covert missions, explosive memos, and a department powered by caffeine and spite, Vera learns that sometimes survival looks a lot like treason--and trust feels worse than war.
A slow-burn espionage story about bureaucracy, loyalty, and the people still fighting when the heroes go home.
(inspired by Slow Horses, loosely based on the TV show.)

Summary
After the Last Supper, Alicent and Rhaenyra say goodnight to Viserys together. Fully aware of Viserys's wishes, Alicent must now choose between her king's love for his daughter, and her own love for their sons. And though she 'knows' in her heart that her family deserves the throne, claiming it comes with a price: Rhaenyra's life.
Or does it?
Alicent knows Aegon's 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. Aemond gets to reign, Otto gets to rule, Aegon gets to relax, Ser Criston gets revenge, and Alicent gets Rhaenyra. Everyone gets what they want. Every one of the Greens, that is.
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.

Summary
For most of the cultivation world, life regains some semblance of peace after the war. The Venerated Triad, however, are facing a host of old and worsening problems, with Nie Mingjue becoming increasingly violent and unpredictable under the influence of Baxia, Lan Wangji in a coma after his whipping, and Jin Guangyao supervising the chaotic Xue Yang as he reconstructs the Yin Tiger Tally. Lan Xichen's attempts to soothe or even cure Nie Mingjue fail, but Jin Guangyao has a theory: fight poison with poison, or, "maybe this time I'll get hit intentionally". Maybe violence helps, actually. This unfolds into an entanglement between them that he could never have predicted, even as the rest of his life becomes increasingly disordered.
Or, 3zun and Jin Guangyao's canon life but I somehow made them even worse
Or, Jin Guangyao as both the Collection of Turmoil and the Song of Clarity -

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.
