Summary
“...You’ve really never left that Tower before?”
If he had been asked earlier that morning, he would have assumed it to be a joke. For as much as he had yearned to venture past those walls, the answer to why anyone would want to stay inside should have been utterly clear. But now…
“No,” he whispered, something tightening around his heart and squeezing the emptiness up into his throat. “I have not.”
It’s just another average day in the Crystal Tower for G’raha – reading, singing, and brushing his yalms upon yalms of crimson hair – until someone comes crashing through his window and changes everything he thought he knew about the world. Or, a Tangled AU with illustrations by PixelPebbles!

Summary
“Come to my quarters,” he murmured against the shell of her ear, pressing her further until the ice of the metal railing cut into her lower back. “Just for tonight.”
Just for tonight. She’d heard that once before.
Zala and G'raha both get their Starlight wishes. Just not in the ways they expected.

Summary
The stretch feels divine—though he still yearns for it to actually be her—and he breathes through the intrusion until she’s fully settled inside of him.
Or, until he’s settled inside of himself. It’s hard to tell anymore.
The burden of animating his own arm is a heavy one—but the Warrior can help him bear it.

Summary
He'd traveled through time and space today, awoken to all of his wildest dreams coming true. Laid eyes on places he thought he’d never see again, laughed with those he’d said his goodbyes to.
Yet the only thing filling his mind now was how unbearably hard he was.
Finally returned to the Source, G'raha struggles to reacquaint himself with his previous body.

Summary
He groaned, forehead falling to her shoulder, which she would have shoved away if it didn’t cause something low and warm to simmer in her gut. “Now that was easy, wasn’t it?” she soothed, applying just enough pressure to hear him hiss with relief.
In the wake of the Dying Gasp, Zala finds that healing isn't always linear.
Or: a tumultuous, angry, tension-filled retelling of the Shadowbringers patches.

Summary
A collection of shorter fics that exist in the same canon as my WoL Zala's story (which is told in my series Phantoms Forever). These stories serve to fill in some of the spaces within these longfics, but they also can all be read on their own as individual works!

How did she end up here?
The frog. The fall. And Master Jinshi—
Her left hand twitched. His long hair swirled along her cheek. His breath on her skin. His tongue—Series

“Wake up already… you damned gambler…”
Weeks after Aventurine’s gamble in Penacony, Ratio is still tending to him in Reality. But even when his efforts pay off, there are still many wounds left behind.
Some of them may be far too severe to ever be healed… but that won’t stop Ratio from trying, anyway.
