Summary
As a sheltered young woman under the "protection" of your overbearing mother, the borders of your world have never stretched beyond the family songbird shop and the organ bench at church. But when your congregation joins other moral reformers in protesting against the Impera Lounge, a den of vice that flouts the law and mocks the city of Meliora’s faithful, you begin to see what you’ve been missing. Copia Emeritus, the Impera's notorious headliner, steps in to keep your name out of the papers, and what begins as gratitude soon blossoms into a forbidden affair... but when his mother dies, and yours shows her true colors, it seems like the two of you have no choice but to part. Now, on New Year’s Eve, 1927, you seek him out again... anxious for one last taste of freedom, for one more brush with sin, for a final chance to decide whether love represents salvation or damnation.
(1920s Copia x Reader AU, based on Reader #3 from my series All Else Are Castles Built in the Air.)

But My Best Enemy Is You (Formerly Of Ducks and Mishaps) by Jethro_P38

Summary
Despite Lucifer's insistence that the situation was accidental, Alastor believed it to be a deliberate act of cruelty. Regardless of the circumstances, they are now stranded in 1929 New Orleans as humans. Through a series of misadventures and unfortunate events, a mutual attraction blooms that neither will admit to as they endeavor to find a means of returning to Hell.
"Alastor's eyes, now a shocking, familiar shade of brown behind round spectacles, widened in a mixture of horror and fury. He opened his mouth to unleash a torrent of insults, but the only sound that escaped was a choked gasp. The air felt thin, the sunlight a harsh, unbearable presence on his skin. He felt a deep, profound sense of displacement, a feeling that had been alien to him for centuries.
Lucifer, in his human form, simply smiled. It wasn't the condescending smirk of the King of Hell, but a gentle, almost empathetic expression. "Welcome back to New Orleans, Alastor. Let's take a little walk down memory lane, shall we?""

Summary
A twenty-first century Louisianian experiences a time slip one day in their hometown after stumbling upon a haunted object that once belonged to Alastor.
Guess who's back!!
That's right. Amber. And with a new fandom and story.
I think this trope has been done before but I've only read one story like it so we'll see how this goes. Of course there will be no real updating schedule as usual so...
Anyway, Alastor is an absolute monster in this! There's obviously going to be gore, murder, knives, etc. Therefore if you don't like that stuff... why are you even here?
I miss writing so I hope everyone enjoys!
PS: Feel free to comment! It really helps my motivation when I see that people are actually enjoying my writing!!

Summary
Yeosang was sixteen.
Too pretty for his own good. Too quiet. Too polite. The kind of beauty that drew unwanted eyes, even when he was dressed in plain clothes and bowed so low his forehead kissed the floor.
He belonged to no one.
And that was dangerous.
San met him in Kyoto.
In the home of a politician who liked to "collect" pretty things. Yeosang had been brought out to serve tea—to smile, bow, and disappear into the background. Like a vase. Like a doll.
San was already wealthy then. Already feared.
And the moment Yeosang stepped into the room—elegant, silent, too composed for someone so young—San didn’t look away.
Not once.
“Who’s that?” San had asked, even though he never asked about servants.
The politician laughed. “That one? Korean. Abandoned in the city years ago. I keep him around for display.”San’s eyes didn’t move. “I’ll take him.”

Summary
Soft amber lights spilled across deep burgundy walls. Smoke curled in the air, sweet with perfume and bitter with cigars. A low jazz band crooned in the corner, the trumpet crying like a heart in confession. Women in sequins and feathers laughed as they brushed past men in crisp suits, but there was something electric—something beneath the surface. Here, every glance lingered too long. Every touch meant something more.
Felix’s throat went dry.
Han leaned close, voice low in his ear. “Welcome to the Velvet Cabaret.”

Summary
New Orleans: Where the past walks beside the present.
The city that never sleeps draws dreamers, wanderers, and the damned who would remake themselves. Beneath the jazz and the perfume of magnolia lies something older— an underbelly that hungers as much as it dazzles. Its lights promise rebirth, but its shadows whisper of debts that can’t be paid. Here, bargains are deadly, and even kindness can carry a cost.
The Mother’s bones lie dormant. For now.
But the modern age pushes deeper into her domain, stirring what should remain still. Some whisper of her name in fear, others reverence. The truth lies buried deep in the bayou, and it holds little patience for most.

Update Schedule : Moderate/slow updates. One of two stories in the works. Bleeding for You is a more solid idea so this will have periodic updates between that and personal workflow.
