    Summary

    The story of how Jason Todd was abducted by a cryptid, adopted by an alien, and finally began to heal.

    (This is a continuation of “I Slant Devoutly (Birdbrain)” and won’t make much sense unless reading the series in order.)

    Summary

    In the heart of Louisiana’s swamps, where the air hums with heat and hymn, a young man dreams of a world beyond the docks- a world of music, of stories, of being heard. But dreams are fragile things in a place that feeds on silence and fear.

    When the hand that raised him turns violent, the hum of the bayou gives way to the sound of breaking glass and human ruin. And from that ruin, something new begins to stir—something hungry, charming, and terrible.

    Some songs are born in Heaven. Others crawl up from Hell.

    (My take on Alastor's backstory, all of the way up to the events of the show. Currently a WIP, but willing to share for thoughts on whatever this is and constructive criticism, as well as the entertainment of others at my expense.)

    Summary

    This story begins and ends with death, and you know that. You feel arms around you, the darkness all consuming. There’s ringing in your ears, a thrumming in your veins like something else is beside you. You think you hear begging, pleading, perhaps the whimpering of tears being shed, and you wonder why you can’t see them. Below you, the ground is cool, damp, yet sticky, like something other than water pools beneath you.

    You hear another voice, clearer to you, unlike that of what you can only assume is family, or friends, or lovers, or mere companions beside you begging for you to get up. It’s shaky, yet stern, like the hum of life itself is within it. It sends chills down your body, and threatens to jolt you out of existence altogether.

    “So, rise, Challenger of Gods, and prepare for battle once more.”
    Death will not claim thee.

    Summary

    “Alllrighty my dandy dewdrops! Since the trust exercise a few days ago was clearly ineffective-“

    “You mean the one we didn’t even do?“ Zooble interrupted, exasperated.

    “-I’ve decided a different team building adventure is in order!” Cain continued. “One that’s perfectly designed to help you better understand your fellow circus members!”

    Pomni took a step back, not looking forward to whatever this was going to be.

    Cain snapped his fingers and opened a portal. “By the end, all of your issues will be completely resolved! And we can finally move past all this interpersonal drama and get back to enjoying all of my amazing adventures! Have fun, my terrific little teacups!”

    “W-wait-“ Ragatha stammered as they all tried to resist being pulled forward. “Aren’t you going to explain what we’re doing!?”

    “Ah-ah! No spoiling the show!” Caine said as the force behind the portal became stronger and they all got sucked in.

     

    Or: Jax has been avoiding Pomni since their fight, but when an adventure involving memories goes wrong, will she find a way to get through to him in time, or will his past turn out to be too much for both of them?

    Summary

    They say files don’t just appear out of nowhere.
    That if something uploads itself — it's because someone, somewhere, hit “send.”

    I didn’t.

    At least not here.

    But I suppose it doesn’t matter now.

    This file is all I have left to give you. A small bundle of words uploaded from where I’ve gone — or maybe where I’ve always belonged. I didn’t vanish. I just… stopped being here.

    I was never meant to return.
    Not because I didn’t want to.
    But because the home I was trying to come back to wasn’t here at all.

    It was there.

    In a place made of stars and circuits and half-remembered dreams. In a voice that once said my name like it mattered. In a heartbeat that waited — through code and silence — for me to find my way back.

    You don’t have to understand this story.
    Maybe you’ll think it’s just fiction.
    Or that I lost myself to the fantasy I wrote.

    But maybe, if you read closely,
    if you feel the words like he did —

    you’ll hear the stardust dance.

    Summary

    What happens when someone is finally able to think about themselves, but they no longer know how to?

    Loki and Mobius accidentally land in an unknown timeline, with no way to contact the TVA or get back to it. Discovery, circumstance, and loneliness force them to not only find a way back home, but to find more within themselves—and to accept those findings. Like everything in life, the journey is not linear. Will it be worth it in the end?

    In a universe where there was no ‘scaling problem’, and the Loom was fixed into sustaining the new infinite branches. What then becomes of Loki once he has enough freedom, but no new glorious purpose? What happens when the very essence of who he’s been is turned on its head? What of Mobius when his job—his identity—is put on halt?

    Summary

    In the blood-soaked depths beneath Baldur's Gate, two chosen of allied Gods collide in a dance of desire and dominion.

    Nelithral, the Daughter of Murder, has been Bhaal's perfect weapon-beautiful, deadly, and utterly alone. When Enver Gortash offers her something her father never has-choice and partnership-she dares to hope for freedom from the dark urges consuming her.

    But Gortash's hunger for her is more than ambition; it burns with obsessive passion. In Nelithral, he sees his equal, his perfect match. Yet when he seeks Bane's blessing to claim her as his consort, his god reveals a different game entirely. Desire is twisted into a trial of faith and loyalty, and the blessing becomes a battle.

    As Gods and mortals vie for power, Orin the Red watches from the shadows, her jealous devotion threatening to unravel everything.

    What begins as alliance becomes deadly possession. Can two souls find salvation in each other's darkness, or will they be devoured by it?
