Summary
Once upon a time, back when the gods still roamed the earth among mortals, there were two girls.
Gem is born in a country that is devastated by war, that struggles for food, for money, for manpower. Her mother’s houseguests call her serious, call her mature for her age, but it’s not really that. It’s not that she at four-five-six truly understands the gravity of the situation – it’s just that in some inexplicable way she’s already lived through every possible hardship, tasted all the flavours of pain that exist out there.
OR
Gem’s life is a bit of a Greek tragedy, Pearl’s life is not much of a life at all these days. They still find their way to each other in the end

Summary
The ghost only winced slightly, brushing off his shoulder where it had landed. “I’ll give you some credit, that hurt a lot more than the last guy’s.”
“You— what—?”
With that, the ghost landed on his feet and stepped the few steps to close the gap, hands clasped behind his back as he looked up at Scar, eyes critical as they studied him. There was something almost bird-like in the way he tilted his head, in the way he slowly blinked, in the way he held himself. It was fascinating. “Let me make this a little easier for you— I’m Grian. I’m not where I’m supposed to be, and there’s no getting rid of me. So either leave or get used to it.”

Summary
series title adapted from the crooked, the cradle by the crane wives
this is a witch/fae au that starts centered around desert duo and starts to branch off a bit the further you get into it (though if you're a die hard desert duo fan, don't worry, there's still plenty of them)
since I haven't really been able to sit down and explain the worldbuilding/magic system within the series, I made a post explaining it here
enjoy!!!

Summary
“XELQUA”, says one of the Watchers, the smaller of the two, wearing black-purple. “AT LAST, WE HAVE FOUND YOU.”
“–all day long!” finishes Grian, cheerily, and caps the verse with a bright, “Fuck off!” He extracts his hand from Pearl’s to summarily give both Watchers the finger.
“YOU WILL COME WITH US,” says the second, slightly taller Watcher.
“Eat shit and die,” says Grian, promptly. “I’m not going anywhere.”
(In which the Watchers come to retrieve Grian from the void, but are foiled by the twin powers of teeth and cursing. And friendship. But mostly teeth.)

Summary
Gem leans her whole body weight onto her staff, then collapses to the grass. “Pearl, I can’t…” she murmurs weakly. “I can’t walk. I don’t know what to do…”
Pearl’s voice is soft and kind. “I’ve got you. It’s alright.”
She lifts Gem into her arms with ease. Gem wraps her arms around Pearl’s neck and clings to her for dear life.
“Just hold on, my love,” Pearl whispers as she carries Gem through Mythland. “You’re gonna be alright. I’m getting you out of here.”
or: In an alternate universe, Jimmy could only save one. It's up to Pearl to rescue her partner from Xornoth's clutches and bring her back to safety.

Summary
“I’ve been trying to figure out how to reach her,” Saint Pearl admits.
Gem looks up from the pie filling she’s halfway through preparing and blinks in surprise. “I thought you never tried to visit the world below anymore.”
“I know. But she’s different.” Pearl grabs a spoon from the kitchen drawer and steals a spoonful of pie filling. “She’s basically my sister. I’ve got to say hello.”
Gem smirks. “And that’s all?”
“I’m not going to ask her if she’s in love with the ruler of Dawn, if that’s what you’re implying.” Pearl steals another spoonful of pie filling. “Oh, that’s really good. What is that, apple?”
“Golden apple and honey.” Gem moves the bowl out of Pearl’s reach with a grin. “I guess you’re right. We already know the answer.”
or: In one world, Pearl is a goddess, and Gem is her partner. In another, Gem is LARPing as a princess, and Pearl is transforming into somebody else. The two worlds might not be as distant as they seem.

Summary
An idea came to her. It was rash, really, a spur of the moment thought. But there was always a possibility...
"Hey Pearl?" She whispered.
Pearl snapped out of the trance-like state she had been in, turning her head towards the deer hybrid. "Yeah?"
Gem hesitated, chewing her lip nervously. "Um..."
"Do you want to get married?" She blurted.
~~~~~~
Alternatively, Pearl and Gem get platonically married because I said so.

Summary
“Being a ghost is stupid,” Jimmy says petulantly. “You just poked straight through my chest, which I would ordinarily be upset about. But I’ve been dead for four years, so I’m not mad at you about it. I mean, I’m mad, but not at you specifically.”
Or: Tango's ranch is haunted. It's not nearly as big of a problem as he expected it to be.

Summary
“I just spilled my biggest secret, and you’re both acting like I told you we’re having soup for lunch tomorrow.”
“Can we have soup for lunch tomorrow?”
“Not the time, Impy,” Zed gently scolded. He detangled himself from Tango’s arm and pivoted to face him, before reaching out and brushing a few strands of hair from his forehead. Tango resisted the urge to flinch. “Was your hybrid status something you were trying to hide from us, Tango?”
“Yeah? Was that not…” Tango was pretty sure his brain had short-circuited– it had to be that or he was dreaming. “Did you not think I was human?”
Impulse sat up with a yawn and a stretch. “You have glowing red eyes, bud.”
in which tango is afraid to tell his friends he's a blaze hybrid, and it turns out they already know.
it also turns out tango has a lot to learn about hybrids and humans.
