    Summary

    “Does it hurt?” Sieun asks.

    “Should it?”

    Sieun leans back, hands propping himself up, fingers weaving through the grass. All around them, small yellow flowers with orange centers poke out of the ground, with whisper-thin petals, delicate as tissue paper.

    “Let’s not think about it,” he says.

    And if Sieun isn’t worried, that’s enough for Suho.

    “Okay, let’s talk about something else.”

    While Suho recovers, he dreams.

    Summary

    He always did fall too deep in love with things that could destroy him—a fast car on an open road, cheap liquor burning all the way down, and the way his little brother says ‘please’.

    Sam is sweet fruit coming into season, and Dean has sticky fingers.

    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

    “You still want to climb out of here?”

    “Yes,” Quentin says immediately.

    “It’s going to be hard,” Penny warns, his gaze weirdly intense and serious.

    “God, yeah, I figured it would be,” Quentin mutters, squirming out of Penny’s personal space. “Everything from pretty much every mythology ever says it’s a pain in the ass.”

    Summary

    He’s been through this song and dance too many times to count, with far worse people, and he knows every step by heart.
    It's a testament to his upbringing- his ability to keep his cool in spite of whatever fire is burning just below the surface.
    But he's learned well that there is a limit to what even a saint could endure, and Bobby Nash is far from a saint.

     

    buck's heroics have landed him in the hospital yet again.
    bobby's getting real tired of watching the kid get hurt.
    he's even more tired of margaret and phillip buckley thinking they can keep getting away with doing the bare minimum for their son.

     

    (aka my humble attempt at writing a scene where bobby finally tells buck's parents how he really feels)

    Summary

    In the dazzling world of ice dance, Jinu and Rumi were once inseparable, their childhood partnership blessed with uncanny grace and an unbreakable bond. But when tragedy struck, Jinu was forced under his grandfather Gwi-Ma's tyrannical control. Obsessed with "pure" talent, Gwi-Ma ruthlessly tore them apart, deeming Rumi's unique strength "impure."

    A decade later, they're fierce rivals on the global circuit, their cold glances masking a past that still binds them. As the Grand Prix Final looms, Gwi-Ma's manipulation peaks, pushing Jinu to a desperate gamble with redemptive sacrifice on the ice, proving that some promises, even if broken, can still define a destiny.

    Summary

    Edward Munson won the 44th Annual Hunger Games with innocent blood on his hands and a point he never should have had to prove.

    The runt from 12 – that’s what they’d branded him as. No one from 12 had ever taken the thorny crown before, and his mentor, a callous, rail-thin academy student who had never known suffering had told Eddie; that there was no chance he would triumph, but the least he could do would be to make a spectacle of his death. But Eddie Munson was no martyr, even at thirteen. He wasn’t like the other Tributes. He’d borne and inflicted bruises and spat blood from his teeth long before his name was called.

    He's going back. The Capitol has judged him sane enough to assist the next lot of Tributes in their quest for martyrdom. Jokes on them, Eddie thinks. Eddie has already lived through two Hunger Games, what’s a couple more?

    Summary

    This is a compilation of all the pieces that take place within my Over-City/Under-City AU, which is also a Hot Guy/Cute Guy Superhero AU, though that's not the only thing that'll be going on! I plan to keep this series in chronological order, so I'll put all the pieces where they'd fall along the timeline, which may sometimes not line up with the publishing date. The exception to this is 'Pretty Boy' which, IF someone does want to read the whole series in order, I'd want them to have read that one first and then all the rest, so 'Pretty Boy' will always be the first fic in the line-up, but after that you could read chronologically or just bounce around as you please! I've written all of these to mostly stand-alone, so you shouldn't be too terribly confused no matter where you decide to start up!

    Current active ships in this AU are Desert Duo, Flower Husbands, Doc/Etho, Treebark, Joel/Lizzie, Zedango, Nature Wives, and Kersuma! I hope you enjoy!

    Ask me about the series or just come say hi on tumblr! @amethystfairy1

    This series is also being adapted into podfics by @boo-the-AHH if you prefer the audio format!

    Illustrations for this series are by @khoirkid!

    My Interview With the Vampire works, largely focused on Armand/Daniel, mostly from the canon of the show, though details from the Vampire Chronicles are present. The second work in the series is a direct sequel to the first, but the rest are standalones.
