Summary
If Hong Lu wanted to accompany him for part of his journey, so be it. Past the occasional annoyance, Heathcliff didn’t mind the company, and didn’t mind Hong Lu’s willingness to pay for whatever, whenever.
A walking bank, yes, that’s what he was. Nothing more, and nothing less.
A bounty, worth an unbelievable amount of money, is placed on Prince Jia Baoyu’s head. While Heathcliff works to find and kill the prince to claim his prize, Hong Lu joins him on his adventure.
Wait, what?

Summary
“It just doesn’t make sense,” Heathcliff said, frustratedly, currently in the jet that was taking them to the 15th race venue.
“Heathcliff, I swear if you’re about to talk about the Jia again–” Ishmael started, interrupted by Heathcliff talking about Baoyu again.
If a star’s light falters, does it still belong in the sky?

Summary
She really was so strong, Hong Lu mused to himself, watching her instead of the trembling wall they were facing that began to lower, she always had been. The trails of tears she had tried to wipe away didn’t make her look or seem any less capable and steadfast, despite what Grandmother had taught him.
The wall behind them continued to slowly lower. Before it could even reach the midway point, though, a giant centipede — nearly 2 feet wide — crawled over the gap in the wall. The two venomous claws at its front were the most prominent feature, followed by the large eyes. It stared at the two of them before lunging.
In a maze-like game during the second round of the Family Hierarch Evaluation, Hong Lu and Daiyu find themselves isolated from the rest of the group. Two people, so deeply in love with one another, forbidden from living life side by side.

Summary
“At least I still look more human than animal,” Heathcliff quickly changed course, “I’d hate to have these ugly sights coming out of my head.”
For emphasis, Heathcliff knocked his index and middle knuckles on one of the Reindeer’s antlers.
The Reindeer screamed a painful sound, instinctively jerking himself away from Heathcliff’s touch. The sound grated against the Reindeer’s throat and against Heathcliff’s ears. Moving back so suddenly, the Reindeer lost balance and his body hit the floor in an inelegant manner that seemed like it didn’t suit him.
Heathcliff retracted his hand, as though he had been the one to get hurt.
Heathcliff falls head over heels for an irritable Reindeer from a different Pack despite all the signs that he shouldn’t. In doing so, he falls into a rabbit hole he’s determined to get both himself and his Reindeer out of.

Summary
The Blue Reverberation was infamously known for being one of the least, if not the very least, mentally sound Color fixer. He seemed akin to an undomesticated dog on a fraying leash only one gentle breeze away from snapping. While many other Color fixers such as the Indigo Elder and the Red Mist were well-known for their strength and feats, the Blue Reverberation was better known for his unpredictability and tendency to mishandle the power and influence he had. He, as with any other high-grade fixer, knew the City’s taboos well – however, with the Blue Reverberation, a pleasant meet-and-greet could turn into toeing the line between breaking a taboo or not at a single sporadic whim.
At least, that’s how Yan Vismok viewed the Blue Reverberation.
Which is what made Yan’s most recently received prescript absolutely terrifying.
“Within the next 36 hours, take the Blue Reverberation out to dinner.”
Yan Vismok receives a Prescript to take the Blue Reverberation out to dinner. Where does he even begin...?

Summary
His reserved nature reminded Heathcliff of his beloved’s increasingly passive nature as she grew older. His smile and eyes held the same patience and faux understanding as hers. The way he leaned against the window while brushing his hair in the morning reminded Heathcliff of early mornings spent watching his beloved in the garden.
He hated every single one connection his mind forced him to make.
In the City, everyone is born with a red thread, only visible to them, that connects them to their one and true partner. A few days ago, Heathcliff’s thread led back to the gloomy manor of Wuthering Heights. Now, it led elsewhere.

Summary
Aaravos, in the flesh. Sparkling in the sunrise, watching Viren closely. Sitting on a log no more than a meter away from him, Aaravos cocks his head to the side. He does not smile.
Viren is happy to admit the first emotion he felt was instant disgust.
In a universe where Claudia successfully wins the pearl from Callum and his crew, Aaravos is freed early and Viren’s resurrection spell is made permanent through dark magic. Viren must find a way to drive her off the path of dark magic that he set her on, and learn how to navigate the less-human magical properties that Aaravos’s physical form brings.

Summary
“He’s a diversity hire, Dad,” Soren says between mouthfuls of chicken and rice, “nothing to be scared of. Probably isn’t even qualified for the spot.”
“I’m not scared,” Viren replies easily, unable to resist the urge to roll his eyes.
Due to a step forward in integrating human and elven societies, a new elven chemistry teacher has just been hired midyear at Katolis High. Viren, previously the only teacher working in the chemistry division, now must deal with the all encompassing force that is Aaravos.
Between Aaravos’s nature and the fact that Viren’s classroom is connected to Aaravos’s through a single door, Viren finds that his usual advice of “get a grip” is working less than he’d hope.

Summary
Affogato did not love Dark Cacao.
How horribly cliché would it be if he did?
An Affogato character study that takes place during Affogato's rule as king. Please note that Dark Cacao is only spoken about, and does not appear during the fiction. A short writing test to warm up for future fictions.
