    Summary

    After the disastrous Sasuke Retrieval Mission and his humiliation at the hands of Tayuya, Shikamaru thought he buried everything—the shame, the confusion, the body that betrayed him. But when the Sand Village requests a joint "interrogation-resistance exercise" and Temari volunteers to lead it, Shikamaru finds himself forced to confront the ghosts he never exorcised. Particularly, the ever lasting impression of his abuser, Tayuya.

    What begins as a test of endurance turns into something far more personal. As Temari slowly unravels the trauma he refused to name, the two find themselves crossing lines that were never in the mission brief—lines between duty and desire, between control and care, and between the past and something that might finally look like peace.

    Content Advisory:
    This work contains scenes of psychological manipulation, sexual trauma recovery, and emotionally complex intimacy rooted in past non-consensual experiences. Readers sensitive to depictions of coercion, emotional vulnerability, or trauma-related flashbacks are advised to proceed with care.

    Angst with a sigh of relief.

    Summary

    The new semester at St. Dominic’s School is beginning.

    Kira Timurov is obsessed with Yumeko Jabami and wants to take their relationship to the next level by any means necessary.

    Yumeko Jabami, on the other hand, wants to learn more about this school and is willing to make a deal with the devil.

    Let the Games continue.

    Attention spoilers from the Netflix series

     

    ...“You're so beautifully wet,” said the black-haired woman.

    “Please go on...” breathed Kira.

    “Will you take the knife off my throat?” asked Yumeko.

    “Only if you do it right,” she said with a smile.

    The stuffy air in the student council president's office really takes the breath away from Yumeko, she doesn't even need a knife for that and pushes her middle finger deeper into her wet pussy as if it were her last day on earth and registers the slight sigh from Kira. Yumeko would love to undo the buttons of the soaking wet top of her school uniform to make this first time more sensual. Unfortunately, both hands are currently unavailable and instead she tries to give Kira a nice experience with powerful thrusts.

    Maybe then she will let go of her sharp knife...

    Summary

    Kishiar knows he is dying, he has always known this.
    He was prepared for it–or so he thought.

    But why does the heart feel so heavy?
    why won't his mind give him answers?
    Why does everything feels so...lost?

    Is this what fear of death feels like?

    Perhaps, in the end, he is nothing more than a hopeless human—powerless, empty-handed, not even in control of his own life.

    _______________________

    At the edge of death, Kishiar writes a letter for the one he hurt the most.
    A final attempt to understand the heart that refused to listen.

    Summary

    Had those hands that now dispense charity not killed and maimed, and gored, and stolen, and choked the last mortal breath out of the bodies of fellow men? Had that brow that now furrows over brewing soothing and healing decoctions not furrowed over deadly poison, too, and potions that bring pain and suffering and rot? Had those eyes that now look up at holy altars with reverence not looked at others with rage, and jealousy, and vile lust?

    Had this heart that now pounds in his chest like a bell of the monastery not hungered after things forbidden? Had it not rejoiced in dealing pain just as much as it had in helping others?

    Henry casts aside the Benedictine habit after ten strange and sacred days among monks and hymns. Then, to infiltrate Vranik in the service of his liege lord, he puts on a mask—one of cruelty, corruption, and violence— and it proves to slip on a bit too easily.

    He wears it well—and the comfort of it terrifies him.

    An expansion of Henry’s time in Vranik: facing his own dark desires while vying for Erik’s favour—and then facing his worst fears the moment he loses that favour, suddenly and irrevocably.

    Summary

    Katherine and Roseyln take a flight and are unaware of just how hard they will fall. Blanketed beneath the skin of two 18-year-old witches is the influx of hope. Falling from the sky like two angels, fate in their blood and fire in their wake, Albus Dumbledore sees a chance for the light.

    What starts as a chance encounter exposes itself as a convergence of prophecy, power & betrayal; one that tests the boundaries of time, identity and loyalty. Not all betrayals are born out of hate; some are born out of love.

    Worried by the visions that plague them, the Grey sisters must find out how much of a future they can write before they are forced to be notes in the margins.

    OR

    Time holds no leniency for souls destined to fall.

    Summary

    “His boots carried him, for some reason, to the address Valjean had given him on rue Plumet... to the house where, surely, the girl waited — the one called Cosette, Fantine’s daughter — the girl he had once tried to stop Valjean from rescuing at the inn in Montfermeil. Why he allowed his feet to compel him thus, Javert did not know. Both life and the law were finished with Jean Valjean, and Javert’s mind felt filled with flies, but something else, something darker and more wretched, stirred beneath the chest of his uniform greatcoat. It was a voice, a memory, a scream, and he could not silence it.”

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Javert realises, with sickening clarity, what the sudden absence of Valjean and Marius means for a girl like Cosette in a city like Paris and how his own hand in it all condemns him. So he stays the night (as a police inspector, to ensure her safety).
    But in a shameless city with no conscience for handling broken men and fatherless girls, that decision may unravel everything Javert ever believed.

    Javert/Cosette novel-length WIP.

    Summary

    Goku once thought the hardest challenge of his life was behind him. But with peace hard-won and a family newly growing, he quickly learns that raising two half-Saiyan sons—Gohan and Gozaru—requires more strength, patience, and heart than any battle ever could.

    As the Earth faces an oncoming threat from the stars, Goku and Chi-Chi find themselves forced to reconcile martial tradition with parental instinct, while the next generation begins to discover who they are and what they’re meant to become. Bonds are tested, old wounds are exposed, and a looming force from beyond Earth casts a long shadow over what should have been a time of peace.

    This is not a story about becoming stronger. It’s a story about learning what strength is for.

    Summary

    When they realise they're the only two people in the city who know a certain secret about their bosses, Angua and Drumknott form an unlikely alliance.

    A support group, if you will.


    Alright, this started as a bit of a joke, but now it exists. It's essentially just me having fun with some characters, there's not a great deal of overarching plot structure, but hopefully some of it is entertaining, at least. I'll be updating randomly, as ever.

    Oh, and it runs alongside canon so there's spoilers for Fifth Elephant, Jingo and The Truth in later chapters.

    Summary

    sudden, jarring burst of laughter from a nearby table pulled him back to the oppressive present. He watched the group, their faces flushed with drink and camaraderie, their voices loud and unburdened. A pang, sharp and unexpected, pierced through him. Loneliness was a familiar companion, a persistent shadow that clung to him even in the crowded, smoke-filled warmth of his own club.

    Connection, true connection, felt like a luxury he could no longer afford, a dangerous vulnerability he dared not risk. The walls he had built around himself, brick by agonizing brick, were thick, buttressed by years of disillusionment and the brutal lessons of betrayal.

    Summary

    Asha Greyjoy must win favor before her Queensmoot — even if it means dining with lowly lords, rich in pride if not in gold.
    The Goodbrothers of Hammerhorn are not the wealthiest House on Great Wyk, but when they call her name, their dozen cadet branches will too. Every voice counts, if she means to claim her father’s crown.

    But what joy is there in dining with lickspittles? In trading flatteries with men who humor her, but in truth only lust for her hand?

    The Kraken's Daughter will not debase herself. She will play them for fools and take what she wants on her terms.

    And what she wants is a saltwife: A woman to warm her bed and desire her for her own sake.

    Summary

    They grew up on distortion and disappointment, learning too young that love doesn’t sound like a lullaby—it sounds like feedback and slammed doors. Their world isn’t glamorous, just loud. Loud with old hurts, new bruises, missed calls, cheap drugs, and music that tries to make sense of it all.
    The nights blur in greenroom mirrors and motel sheets; nothing soft survives long here. They orbit each other through noise and neon, wrecking themselves on the same sharp edges again and again—because history doesn’t end, it just rewinds.
