    Summary

    Levi hates Companions – people who sell romance and a night of pleasure to anyone rich enough to pay. These Companions are more than prostitutes; they’re actors, allowing their clients to live out the romantic encounters of their dreams. And Levi finds the very idea of them disgusting.

    But Hanji gets him an appointment, anyway. And, somehow, Levi is persuaded to go. And the Companion he finds is very different from what he expected.

    Levi knows that it’s all fake. But, in spite of himself, he can’t stay away from Erwin Smith.

    Summary

    “For the Watch.”

    The world is wrong. Jon fell to his knees with a dagger in his back, an oath breaker, a bastard of House Stark, and a fallen and failed Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. He awoke as a Prince of the Seven Kingdoms, the son of a dead man, a scion of House Targaryen. The world is wrong, and Jon needs to right it - but as cold winds blow and men dance with their ghosts, the Game of Thrones never ends.

    Summary

    The Long Night comes. What was once known as Lyanna Stark is raised from its crypt, remade into being of ice and ever-gnawing hunger.

    It hunts and kills and feasts on warm flesh, and does not question this existence until it reaches a castle blackened by dragonfire and uncovers a mystery knight bearing the same face as their own.

    Summary

    On a side street in the Lower East Side, Infernal Iron Tattoo and Waterdeep Floristry face each other. There’s also a deli. It’s not very good.

    Tav has scrapped her way through her twenties to finally have a life she can be proud of: she co-owns her own tattoo studio with her best friend, she wears what she wants and does what she wants, and she even has enough money to get good coffee most of the time.

    Is she happy? Yes.

    Does the very existence she’s worked so hard to earn make her completely incompatible with the beautiful, buttoned-up florist across the street? Also yes. Unfortunately, it doesn’t make her want him any less.

    Summary

    The decision to attend Waterdeep Comic Con during the Midwinter holiday had been intentional. Astarion had assumed that everyone – his overbearing (if well-meaning) friends, his manager, and his psychotic ex – would leave him alone so that he could work in peace. He’d been wrong. On the heels of one of the worst scandals of his acting career, Astarion Ancunin is saved by an unlikely hero: his driver.

    ⊹¤.•⨳•.*⊹¤.•⨳•.*⊹¤.•⨳•.*⊹¤.•⨳•.*⊹¤.•⨳•.*

    The Driver hefted a set of black, leather gloves from atop his legs. His fingers were long and tanned. Astarion couldn’t help but watch as he donned them, giving the tight fabric a flex until the leather stretched over his knuckles. Then he tilted his head to the left, touching an ear to each of his shoulders, before pushing out his chest. His fitted suit strained against the motion, and Astarion heard a few joints pop.

    “Do you happen to have your seatbelt on, sir?” the driver asked.

    Astarion’s mouth, for some reason, watered.

    Summary

    He unexpectedly turned as he closed the door and caught Daphne observing him. Their eyes met, she blushed in embarrassment, and—

     

    Every time he smiled, really smiled with his whole face, the world around him seemed to dim in comparison. He made her want to take up painting again. Or pastels, or any of the other art forms she’d left behind when she graduated from RISD and started her first bookmaking apprenticeship. She’d never felt compelled to make representational art, but Gale Dekarios in the full bloom of joy was absolutely worth representing.

     

    In which tiny, remote Icepeak College mysteriously hires a massively overqualified antiquities scholar in the middle of term, and its book arts workshop director finds herself inexorably pulled into his orbit. In her defense, he's really fucking hot.

    Summary

    Echo has lived her life tucked away in the forests of Tethir, learning magic through the pulse of nature and the songs of creation. She's good with magic, but not people, which isn't really a problem until she's scooped up by mind flayers and has to get along with six strangers lest they all share a tentacle-y doom. And she manages to get along with most of them -- but then there's Gale of Waterdeep. Despite a terrible first impression, she finds he is actually much kinder than all the mansplaining would suggest.

    This is a series of relationship scenes about my weird little mushroom hermit, a wizard who shows compassion and arrogance really can coexist, and how academic rivalry is like first base for wizards.

    Summary

    “How did you get in? Aren’t the gates of the bridge closed at night?”
    Jayce placed his foot on the head of the hammer, an uncanny resemblance to one of his Progress Day posters that Viktor decidedly did not have in his room.
    “Some mere doors are no match to me. I am the Man of Progress!”
    Viktor wasn’t sure if that was meant to be ironic or if he really was that drunk. He decided not to take his chances. “Sure you are,” he said, stepping out to the cold night to grab his nemesis by the shoulder. “Let’s get you inside, Man of Progress.”

    -

    Sometimes you have to tenderly care for your nemesis at his worst moment of weakness, because life throws curve-balls at you like that.

    (The One With The Longing. Set before the rest of the works in the saga, but can be read as a stand-alone.)

    Summary

    War is on the horizon as tension rises between factions. The Gerudo, long ago banished to the desert in the south. The Rito, long ago established themselves in the crags of the west. The Gorons, long ago took to the heat of the north. The Zora, long ago found succor in the waters of the east.

    And in the center of it all was the Hylians, and their throne of generations.

    War is coming and a young vai and a young girl are caught in the middle.

    Link was raised among the scourges of the desert.

    Zelda among the nobles of Hylia.

    They say that you forge a closer bond with people in the fires of adversity. Maybe that's true, or maybe there's some other, stronger power building a bond out of the ashes of war.

    But while the adults engage in their squabbles and lives are on the line, there may be something much worse on the horizon.

    NO LONGER ON HIATUS! NO SPOILERS FOR TOTK.

    Summary

    Regulus isn’t sure how he got here.

    Well, no. That’s not quite true. He knows how he got here—in the middle of a packed dance floor with James’ hands wandering dangerously and his mouth on a mission to mark the living hell out of Regulus’ throat.

    This isn’t the first time they’ve gone clubbing with Evan and Barty. Sometimes Sirius and Remus tag along. Other times, it’s Pandora and Lily, or Dorcas and Marlene. When they can manage it, all of them wind up on the floor with their heads thrown back and liquor in their blood.

    It’s good to let loose every once in a while. The world is too messy, too serious, and between stuffy office jobs and bills that need paying, the tension in their very bones pulls taut as a string.

    At least until it can finally snap.
