    Summary

    Husk, Hell’s reclusive Gambling Overlord, gets dragged behind the bar of his own casino and ends up growing far too close to Valentino’s prized sinner, Angel Dust—who thinks Husk is just a grumpy bartender.

    When Valentino wagers Angel’s soul in an underground tournament, Husk wins it, shattering Angel’s trust.

    Freed from Valentino but convinced all overlords are the same, Angel fights Husk at every turn, while Husk struggles with the guilt of wanting him for all the wrong reasons.

    Through explosive fights, painful healing, and slow, unexpected tenderness, the two learn to rebuild something real.

    Summary

    It’s ridiculous, John knows this, it's a job, just a job, one that will pay the bills, it’s even one that requires a level of knowledge he’s spent the better part of two decades cultivating. It’s just-

    Summary

    Angel is gone. The War is over, Vox lost, but Husk doesn't feel like it was a win. He lost the one person who could make him feel something. Everyone seems to be happy and back to normal, but Husk feels like he's missing a part of himself.

    Angel's gone.
    Angel's gone.
    Angel's gone.

    So that just means he'll have to fight for Angel to come back. And if that comes in the form of writing letters and having them sent to Angel, so be it. If it causes another war with all of Hell, so be it.

    Summary

    In Ho slaps a file down on the desk in front of him before continuing to rummage through drawers, pulling out several folders; yellow paper ones chocked full of photos from crime scenes, photos which Gi Hun already felt queasy just thinking about.

    He cautiously reaches for the file, flipping it open in his lap and sifting through the stack of documents. Autopsy reports, crime scene descriptions, victim outlines; He was already starting to get overwhelmed.

    He’s pulled from his thoughts by In Ho’s voice, scornful and mocking, “So, officer, what do you see that hundreds of our best analysts have supposedly missed?” He stands over Gi Hun, watching him like a predator might observe its prey, “Since this… perspective of yours is so vital.”

    Gi Hun takes a slow breath, letting the comments roll off his back and continuing to scan over the file. But In Ho, of course, isn’t one to let up, “Understand everything?” He mocks, leaning into Gi Hun’s eyeline, “Need me to… read it out loud for you?”

    Summary

    Regulus Black had watched James Potter die.

    He tries to live with it. He can’t. Grief curdles into obsession, and obsession into something sharper—a certainty that time isn’t as fixed as everyone claims.

    Ancient magic whispers of a way back, but it demands more than Regulus can give on his own. But saving James means more than defying the past—it means destroying Voldemort, ending the war, breaking the future open with his bare hands if he has to.

    Regulus has already seen a life without James. He refuses to see it again.

    Summary

    It's 2015. The world is loud, the lights are too bright, and everything feels like too much. Except for Dan and Phil's flat. She doesn't talk about Isabella, and she definitely doesn't talk about the way Amber left. But now, she's got a room of her own, two soft-hearted internet nerds who call themselves her guardians, and a school theatre production she's trying not to panic about.

    She's weird. She knows that. She feels everything too much. She gets stuck in her own head, and sometimes she forgets how to be "normal." Maybe she's broken. Or maybe she's just never had the space to figure herself out.

    A quiet story about found family, healing, and the bittersweet chaos of being fourteen and trying to feel real again.

    Summary

    Kent should be riding high on their victory, but mostly he’s just proud of himself for having acted normal around Jack Zimmermann one (1) time. He played a good game, treated Jack like any other player, and is now with some teammates at a laid-back bar, celebrating without going too crazy. Exactly how he should have handled it.

    He should have known that wouldn’t last.

    (Jack comes bursting back into Kent's life just as Kent is starting to feel settled without him. Isn't that how it always goes? But maybe it's different this time.)

    Summary

    Modernish AU set in 90's, based on some characters from The Arcana. I basically just loved writing scenes about my character with Muriel and eventually it became this.
    Juniper Vaughn was born into a cursed bloodline, by average loses the people closest to her, and made a deal with the devil. Living in a city riddled with crime and cruelty, she tries to survive. She meets Muriel Warren, who is known as the Counts most loyal and vicious dog. He saves her, and the two form a unusual bond. Slowly, these two stubborn, lonely people figure out that in a very shitty world, all they need is each other.

    Murder, secrets, lots of snarky dialoge and a very protective Mountain man.

    Tropes like 'who did this to you', are to blame for this.

    Enjoy these two hard headed idiots falling for each other and fucking up :)

    Summary

    ‼️[ 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆. 𝗜 𝗥𝗘𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗝𝗞 𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚'𝗦 𝗕𝗜𝗚𝗢𝗧𝗥𝗬 ] ‼️

    It would be comical if I started talking about the thing. But actually I think that's what the opening sentence is made for. The truth is, I didn't want to cheat. I know it's cliché for a husband to say this. Or that there was never really anything there. But, fuck. What the hell was wrong with me? Or was it just him that was the problem? I guess I'll never know.
    Screw the idea of love. None of this would have happened if Dor-, no, me had been like this. Or in the end, it wasn't meant to be her. It was always Sirius. And as corny as it may sound, it is, I'm confessing all of this because I have nothing else to lose but my son. Since I've lost everything. Home. Pension money. And in the 20th century, they still haven't invented a way to have an angel on your shoulder. Just a little devil, coming from the same womb as capitalism, full of insight and sagacity, whispering there in your ear. I can still feel it, even the first time your lips were on my earlobe. It was soft and aching, just like who knows what built up in my chest, and when I was faced with its truckload of emotions, oh, I was so weak.
