    Summary

    All Gwaine wanted was to find out Merlin's last name. He wasn't expecting to get caught up in assassinations and intrigue, in prophecy and fate, or in a silent war that had apparently been going on since before he came to Camelot.

    With witch-finders and sorcerers of unknown loyalties running through the halls of Camelot, will Gwaine's own past make or break his friendships... especially when Merlin's biggest secret is revealed?

    Truths will come to light. Brotherhoods will be tested. And, in the end, will anyone's secrets be safe?

    Summary

    Chapter 4:

    Jason is sprawled on his back, limbs tangled in odd folds of comforter, pillow slipped somewhere near his feet. His pajama pants are rucked to his mid-calf, twisted so their seams are off center. The sheets around him are damp with sweat and his shirt has been discarded. On his bare chest, is a scar.

    The sunlight relieving the room leaves little imagination to its cause. 

    Or, Five times a Batfamily member saw Jason's autopsy scar.

    Summary

    By an old Republic law, all members of the Jedi High Council are senators in the Galactic Senate, and can thus be voted in as chancellor. A Senator from a less prominent planet has had enough of Chancellor Palpatine's incompetence and calls for a Vote of No-Confidence and the installation of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi as Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.

    This one action becomes the catalyst that changes the direction of the galaxy.

    or “Obi-Wan’s Life Gets Worse (Though It’s Not As Bad As It Could’ve Been)”.

    Summary

    If someone tried to kill Noctis when he was a kid, there’s no reason people aren’t still trying. Prompto wants to stay in Noct’s orbit even after high school, and he decides the best way to do that is to start prepping for the Crownsguard entrance exam. If he can get into the Crownsguard, he’ll be able to do something if things go sideways when he’s out with Noct.

    After an attempt on Noctis results in civilian casualties, neither Prompto nor Noctis are prepared for the political backlash. And when Noctis discovers that Prompto has Crownsguard ambitions, he wrestles with his desire to protect his best friend (and crush) and the reality that Prompto wants to put himself in danger for his sake.

    Summary

    A collection of all the stories in Traveling Thieves, which is my Dark Fantasy, Hybrid Slavery, super angsty AU that spawned from my Whumptober 2023 prompt fills! Currently in semi-chronological order except for the first fic in the series, which will always be “I see the danger, it’s written there in your eyes” which if anyone does want to read the series in chronological order, I’d like them to start there! ^-^ I also occasionally place some stories in specific locations that I think work best for the reading order that aren't exactly where they'd be timeline-wise!

    WARNING: THIS IS A WHUMP-CENTRIC, ANGST-CENTRIC, HURT/COMFORT (SOMETIMES NO COMFORT) DARK FANTASY AU.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the tags before you dive into any stories of this one, this series is intended to be a place for me to try my hand at writing and exploring some darker themes.

    There will be plenty of happy times in this, too, though! It's not all doom and gloom, I promise! I hope you'll enjoy!

    Ask me about the series, world building, future planning, or just come say hi! @amethystfairy1

    Summary

    "But I would do anything to protect all of you. Horrible things, to be honest, as long as I could be sure you were all safe."

    ---

    Housemaiden Mirabelle wouldn't have been the first person you killed for the King's wish, but she could've been the last. (Should've been. Would've been, if you were better at your job!) But a missed opportunity last month, a second's hesitation last week, a very stupid failure this morning, and now you're tied to a blinding tree in the middle of her party's camp with an injured leg.

    And... well... you're not stupid. The question here isn't whether they'll kill you or not. It's what they'll do to you first.

    You have information they could use, after all.

    Summary

    The vessel's life was perfect. They had completed their divine mission and, as a reward, gotten to marry their own god.

    After centuries of slaying gods, the Lamb had found peace and content by the side of their idol, now severely weakened and in their doting care after millenias of a chained prison.

    Yet a ploy threatens to tear apart their finally earned peace when a strange godslayer is set on killing their god and now husband.

    But why does this assassin remind them so much of themselves? If they were a Goat that is...

    Summary

    Lance tipped his head back and looked up at the tall ceiling of the ballroom. It was something he couldn’t help but do now that he was an experienced sniper. He followed the line of two pillars up and up, past the balcony and into the rafters. There—that was the best spot. You’d be able to see everything from there: the ballroom floor, the balcony, even the entryway all the way to the main doors.

    He wasn’t expecting to see something shift though, and he watched in horror as a masked and cloaked figure appeared, lining up a rifle and pointing down into the crowd of people on the ballroom floor.

     

    Or: A diplomatic gala takes an unexpected turn when Lance intercepts an assassination attempt on one of their allies. Leaving Lance injured and the others scrambling for answers, they enter a race against the clock to find who is responsible. They don’t know who did it, no one’s coming forward, and Lance is running out of time.

    Summary

    The Chief Justice Neuvillette liked to drink his tea in a comfortable silence. On a nice afternoon as the warm sun illuminates his office. Afternoons such as this. Warm, tranquil and uneventful…

    ‘’Please allow me to bear your child, Chief Justice Neuvillette.’’

    ‘Really quite… Uneventful…’

    ‘’……What.. ?’’

    ______________________

    Neuvillette was no stranger to tragedy. He's had his fair share of pain, lost his people of his own, and felt the grueling emotions of grief that he's had to hide away in the back of his heart. When a certain young lady approached him with a rather... peculiar... request, he couldn't stop himself from falling back into the pit of emotions that he swore he had buried.

    ______________________

    or: Just the typical immortal x mortal trope but make it a little more tragic :)

     

    : I actually wrote this last year when I was brainrotting so hard from Neuvi... This is my first fic, and I myself found this quite... cringe.. haha.. I found this in my docs so I decided to finish this instead in case there's somebody out there who might like this. Read at your own risk. The writing is kinda all over the place. Happy reading!

    Summary

    “Never fear, brother,” he said. “I’ll not let you be skewered by some high flung mummer.”

    “I’d hardly call the Faceless Men ‘high flung mummers’,” said Aegon.

    Aemond rolled his eyes and snorted. “Think of it this way, they’re probably not even after you.”

    “Mother seems to think so,” said Aegon.

    “Our mother,” said Aemond. “Is in the unique position of both fearing for your well-being and also hoping it is in danger if only to have her ambitions vindicated,” he said. “Hers is not an unbiased opinion.”

    --

    Just because Aegon has no designs on the Iron Throne doesn't mean that the wider world is aware of that same fact. When a potential plot to assassinate the Heir to the Iron Throne is uncovered, there is question as to whether the true target is the king's daughter, or his son. To mitigate both threats, Aegon and Rhaenyra are sequestered away for their own protection to wait out the long, tense night.
