    Summary

    In spring of the year that Shen Jiu becomes Head Disciple of Qing Jing Peak, his youngest sibling is born in the back room of a poorhouse. Unwilling to raise an unlucky child, his parents sell him to a brokerage at their earliest opportunity.

    Nine years later, when disease tears through the brokerage, he risks speaking up about the things he’s learned from dreams of his past life.

    By the time Mu Qingfang arrives with his disciples to quell the epidemic, it’s already under control, at the direction of a little boy who’s been a slave since infancy.

    Cang Qiong’s Miracle Doctor takes him back to Qian Cao Peak and dresses him in blue and white. His new disciple pours tea for him with trembling excitement.

    By the end of the day, his older brother all but kicks the door down, breathing fire and poison.

    Summary

    Samantha Finnley, a physicist with more degrees than social skills, was just trying to unravel the mysteries of the multiverse. Instead, she woke up as three-year-old Amaryllis Charlemont, beloved daughter of a powerful noble house in a world where magic is real, everyone’s traumatized, and she might be hallucinating mysterious reality glitches.

    Her new goals? Study magic, avoid politics, and eat cake.

    But peace is rare. Her parents want her to lead the estate, her eccentric uncle thinks she’d be great at slaying monsters, and the king keeps calling her to the palace. Her friends? A loyal bodyguard, a maybe-revolutionary writer, and a possible phantom thief—or secret princess. Maybe both.

    And the Spirit King won’t leave her alone.

    Caught between family duty, magical mysteries, and a future choosing her instead of the other way around, Amaryllis must figure out who she wants to be—and how to live life on her own terms.

    A slow-burn fantasy full of magic, mischief, identity shenanigans, and one girl’s quest for agency… if fate ever gives her the chance.

    Summary

    His hands shook as he clutched the edges of his jumper, pulling it tighter around himself. The events of the night played on a loop in his mind, each detail sharper and more horrifying than the last. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to block it out, but the images wouldn’t leave him.

     

    The sickening crack as the bullet went off.

     

    The wet thump as his body fell to the floor.

    Summary

    “Clementine, what if you and I find them first? What would happen, then?”

    Of course, nobody had an answer for that question yet. Not the world, not Tommy, and especially not Clementine.

    But they would have to, soon enough, because for the first time in his life, Tommy Innis decided he wasn’t afraid to contend with the gods.

    \\

    Or, in an attempt to show one accursed child that the world isn't entirely cruel, Tommy ends up raising three kids who have every opportunity to destroy the world - but now they have a choice.

    Summary

    It’s just not feasible. Phil's soldiers are outnumbered. His allies are hesitant, unhelpful. He cannot fuel the proper war that will bring them out on top, that will finally bring the bloody conquest to a close. His people will be slaughtered. His crown will be stolen. He will be another name to the growing list of fallen rulers.

    But a sword raised on the battlefield is not the only way to take care of a threat. Phil knows there’s plenty of other ways to secure victory, or at the very least, push off defeat for another week longer.

    The moment the conqueror’s forces come within range, Phil sends an invitation.

    He invites the conqueror to lunch.

    (Or, AU with king!Phil and conqueror!Techno being enemies, then friends, then family. It is a very calculated plot, until it's not.)
