Summary
The day of Blackwater’s bloodshed has begun as Stannis Baratheon approaches King’s Landing, and Sandor’s heated interaction with Bronn proves puzzling prior to combat. As the battle rages, Sandor Clegane departs the Lannisters, embarking on his own quest for vengeance or redemption— he hasn’t decided yet. He is now saddled with Bronn, a companion he never desired. It was perplexing that Bronn followed him, given his profitable deal with Tyrion. Though he craves the sellsword’s death, he’s held back. Bronn is a superb marksman and assassin, and it doesn’t hurt that he is also easy on the eyes. Sandor convinces himself that he will only need the man until he finds his way past Harrenhal.

Summary
In the gloomy streets of Victorian London, a vampire is moonlighting as a vigilante. They seem to be protecting the innocent and punishing the corrupt under the cover of night. But why, and what is it all for?
This is a story of two vampires, former lovers, and the one that was sired. Welcome in Lord Alistair MacKay, the sole owner of Dorcha Castle and a writer and artist in his spare time, his former lover who goes by the name of Fenella, and the one and only man Alistair ever turned, Duncan. The latter is ruthless, and so they bid him farewell a half-century ago, but he’s decided to return. Again, the only question worth asking is why?
(Chapters are uploaded twice-weekly. In essence, this tale is a Paranormal Romance/Romantasy one with a side of Mild Horror, Fantasy, and Murder Mystery elements. It's just something Hammer Horror-esque that I decided to write for spooky season and beyond. These are original characters I've had 10+ years, and I finally decided to bring them over to AO3. Alistair and Fenella were based on Twelve/Missy and Peter Capaldi/Michelle Gomez.)

Summary
When the news of a funeral drags Dahlia Johnson back to the sleepy Wyoming town she once called home, she tells herself it's only temporary. After all, she's built a life in New York - one filled with high-rise apartments, demanding clients, and noise loud enough to drown out the past.
But home has a way of pulling things to the surface. Memories. Regrets. And Joel Miller.
He's older now. Quieter. Still wearing that same guarded look in his eyes. He was always just a friend of the family. So why does one look from him make her forget what's right and what's allowed?
In a town where everyone knows your name, where whispers travel faster than wildfire, Dahlia finds herself caught in something she can't quite name.
A touch too lingering.
A stare too loaded.
A connection neither of them dares admit.But rules were made to be broken... and some desires? They never stayed buried for long.

Summary
Ronin’s gaze shifted to the floor as he took a long draw from his cigar. "You know, kid, I’ve done a lot of things I ain’t proud of. Made a lot of choices, put myself first. But sometimes... you gotta do the right thing, even if it's just to remind yourself that you still can."
Or
When a simple patrol goes sideways, Jay ends up bleeding out in Kai’s arms, and the only person close enough to help is the last one Kai wants to trust — Ronin. With tempers high, blood everywhere, and Ronin’s “medical expertise” questionably legal, the night spirals into... well, who can even explain it. Because of course, nothing can EVER just be fucking simple for the ninja.

Summary
Ethan grew up the golden boy of his father’s small lesson ranch—obedient, hardworking, and silent about the bruises that life left behind. Now grown, he keeps his head down, content to serve others and lose himself in the steady rhythm of caring for horses. Love was never in the cards, especially not with another man. Cowboys weren’t supposed to love cowboys. That’s what Ethan was taught, and what he believed.
Then Wade walked in—tattooed, all quiet confidence and calloused hands. He carried his scars like proof of survival, and for the first time, Ethan saw what it might mean to live instead of just exist. Between them, something fragile begins to take shape: long days in the barn, quiet nights at Wade’s kitchen table, laughter that shakes something loose inside Ethan, and a kind of touch that makes the silence of his life a little easier to bear.
But family names are hard to wash off, and in a town where tradition weighs heavier than truth, Ethan has to decide whether to keep living the life he was raised for—or risk everything for the one he wants. With Wade beside him, he just might find the courage to start over, build a home of his own, and finally live as the man he was never allowed to be. -

Summary
“What if Cyllene had to use the Red Chain to save Hisui?”
For two years, Cyllene has lived in Hisui, acting as Captain of the Galaxy Team Survey Corps and studying Pokémon. It's a job she never knew she'd take — a job she doesn't entirely like — and her work grows more stressful every day with fires, bandits, and that ominous rift in the sky.
Then Cyllene meets Guildmaster Ginter. From grumpy pest to unlikely friend, the old man's fate soon grows tangled with hers. For Ginter is more than a merchant slouching outside Galaxy Hall. He hides a grave secret in the pack he carries — an artifact from the beginning of time, whose powers Cyllene can control, and whose mystery concerns the fate of the world itself.
It's nonsense, she knows, and yet there must be more to life than meeting her death in the wilds.
