Summary
"This is a tale of new times, when the barrier between the magical and non-magical worlds was at last brought down, when the five Clans of Britannia formed anew and the humans learned that they were not the only intelligent species in their world."
What they forgot to mention, however, is that with the return of magic comes the return of evil greater than any the world has ever seen, one with the power to tear the world asunder while the humans turn on their own and begin hunting and experimenting on those with any sign of magic. Partners turn on their children, friends on friends, and strangers begin hunting the magical as the Dark God sends monsters to ravage their world, driving the stigma that the Changed are at fault. Still, all hope is not lost-there remains a group of heroes who can save them all.
The only problem with this, of course, is that their leader is long dead and the remaining members have scattered across the course of the four thousand years since magic was sealed away. Except Meliodas has always had a love of defying expectations, and Elizabeth would claw her way back from the Afterlife a thousand times over to protect the ones she loves.
The Dark God never stood a chance.

Summary
Living on the street made one desperate which is why Abbacchio agreed to getting fuck blindfolded. Abbacchio received a note telling him to go to an old motel, blindfold himself, and sit naked in bed at eleven o'clock at night. The note came with two hundred euros. So, he followed the note's instructions. He needed to pay the bills. He needed to eat.
He was sitting and waiting. Waiting for what, he wasn’t sure. For all, he knew he was about to be killed. Abbacchio struggled to see the problem with that. -

Summary
If there’s one thing that Astarion knows how to do, it’s submit to a little discomfort in the present so he can get what he wants in the future. Only now, what he’s getting will actually be what he wants, rather than just a way to spare himself something worse.
The only question now is… what does he actually want? After so many years of never being able to choose that for himself, he’s not really sure where to start.
He looks to the sky, deep blue fading to gray as dawn approaches, and thinks it might just be… this. If he can be the one to make the choice, that matters more to him than whatever decision he might make.
Astarion’s hunger is getting too strong for him to ignore, but he isn’t the only one at camp with an unspeakable craving.
A Dark Urge/Astarion fic. Part of a series, but can be read as a standalone story.

Summary
“There’s something wretched in your heart, Astarion. Something angry and hateful and cruel. You’ve been forced to swallow it down for so long, but I would see it sharpened. I would put it in your hand as a blade and watch you carve open the belly of the world.”
Gods, the man says it like it’s something beautiful.
A “they met pre-canon” AU where Astarion brings the Dark Urge home as a victim for his master, and Cazador finds out what happens when he picks on someone his own size.

Absolute incredibly. Amazing worldbuilding and the whole gang is there! Khun was like actually this housewife thing might not be too bad and then bam was like everything in my life is finally going well :) and then FUG was like nu-uh and then the great hunt was like akjdjdjdjjdn and then rak was like TURTLES and you really just had to be there.
