"Since the beginning of time, sirens evolved to be the perfect killers of humankind not from their fangs and claws but from attacking the human mind. Sirens take advantage of the weakest part of a person by making us feel like we're special. Do you understand that Skeppy?"
"Yes Dream," Skeppy sighed as he felt the soft but unsettling breathing on his neck of the mist. The mist of a siren.
Why wasn't he strong enough to resist the temptations of a siren, no less one he's known for only a few hours?

Summary
Scorch was a damn good soldier, and little else. Wishing to close the final page on a life he’d left behind, Scorch returned to Bet for the first time in three years, searching for his elusive Bondmate, the other half of a Parahuman exclusive connection he was a part of. With only vague clues as to where to start looking, when an organization called Winter Star offered him a contract to hunt down a murderer and bring him to justice, Scorch thought nothing of accepting, only to find himself plunged into a lethal, quiet game where the stakes were unknown, and the players refused to show themselves.
Now, caught between giants waging war amongst themselves for their own ends, Scorch must unravel the truth about the mess he’s found himself in before it’s too late. But safety is something hard to come by when he is a pawn that doesn’t even understand the rules of the game being played

Summary
As the Scrolls have foretold, the Wheel is turning, and reality buckles under its torque. Skyrim is torn asunder by civil war, and it seems the shadow cast by the Great War becomes less distant every day. Yet this is not the c0da we are used to. The Divines are not as we remember them, and the Daedra are not merely prodding at Mundus. The chord of prophecy is panging throughout the land. The only question is, can someone reshape this madness into something meaningful?
This work is my attempt to use the gaming crutch known as Skyrim to fulfill all my various writing urges. One part convoluted Elder Scrolls fantasy series, one part game log, and one part porn with plot, this work is my attempt to write everything I want Elder Scrolls-related under one banner. Set in my own alternate Elder Scrolls canon, and featuring over twenty (planned) POVs, this is the Elder Scrolls as true gritty fantasy. A journey from the depths of Blackreach to the top of the Throat of the World, from Skyrim to Summerset Isles.

Summary
All Eislyn knew her whole life were the walls and paths of Fawney Rig, her uncles manor, never allowed to leave its Gothic confines nor walk the gardens without a chaperone. She grew up in richness, raised to be a lady, a noblewoman of the Burgess family, but a gilded cage is still just a cage.
Controlled and abused for her mysterious ability by the same man that claimed to consider her his own blood, Eislyn soon found solace and a friend in another prisoner of the manor, the only being she felt could truly understand her and who wouldn't have betrayed her to please her family like everyone else.
Alexander Burgess had her promise, as a child, never to enter the basement nor approach the eldritch creature therein imprisoned, lest it would have used her to take revenge on all of them, but freedom is too sweet a promise to let go and one captive couldn't seize it without the help of the other.
He was her last hope as much as she was his, but what was to become of her once outside the confines of her beautiful prison?══════════════════

Summary
It's a tale as old as time.
Two idiots fall in love. Two idiots fall out of love.
Of course, neither one of them is expecting a baby to come along and derail their unhappily ever after.
(This is a slightly more lighthearted, less angsty AU of the "Precious and Fragile Things 'verse". It's also a shorter, completely different standalone story, so you don't need to read anything else to understand this.)

Summary
“Don’t worry, Scott caught me up on everything,” Kira assures with a bubbly smile via video-chat. “You and Derek, huh? I probably should have seen that coming. I always thought it might be Cora, but Derek was the one that looked at you how I used to look at you.”
Stiles goes a little pink. “It’s still kinda new but, yeah. I really like him. He’s...” Beautiful. Patient. Smart. Painfully honest. Sweet. “...a total dork.”
Kira laughs and laughs. When she gets herself together, she replies, “Yeah, those little hearts and stars in your eyes definitely say different."
or
Stiles moves from the shiny, fast-paced lifestyle of Los Angeles to the foggy, sleepy town of Beacon Hills so his dad can become the new sheriff. Newly fifteen, he does his best to finish out his freshman year of high school (by staying under the radar) when he suddenly becomes the Beyoncé of the Supernatural community. And, without much prompting on his part, he ends up catching the eye of one of the most prominent Werewolf families in all of North America. It literally all starts with a stuffed animal(s).

by ShanaStoryteller
Wangxianficrecs post here. (Archived.)This was so lovely, and utterly engaging, I finally had to put it down well after midnight last night and had gotten all the way to the epilogue.
In which Jiang Cheng (with Nie Huaisang's help, because he knows what a mastermind he is) designs a time travel array. He's using wwx's golden core to power it, so he can only pick a time *after* wwx gave him the core (which means the Jiang parents are still dead, but it's not much of a loss... one of the arcs in the story is the Jiang sibs recognizing how toxic and abusive their mother was, and how much she damaged them).
Author just... jumps on in there and fixes it all. But don't think this work is just light self-indulgence. Jiang Cheng comes from a place of great regrets, and he's *alone in the past, trying to fix what he can, but he still has to make painful choices about what he can and cannot change. Besides winning the war, his primary concern is protecting his brother and preventing his epic descent into self-destruction and madness. It's wonderful, his foreknowledge, because he can do so many small things, like, for example, support wwx's choice whenever someone comments on his lack of sword.
Main focus of the work is Jiang Cheng and his family relationships, including both wwx and jyl, both of whom he's able to steer in a much healthier and more rewarding/fulfilling direction. The outsider perspective on the wangxian relationship is pretty funny (and jc just immediately corrects any misunderstandings between them), and his growing relationship with lxc and nmj, which surprises him, since it'd never happened in the first timeline.
Too many details to go over, but I'm impressed with the author's weaving of a complex plot (they put thought into world-building behind the sects as well as politics).
