    Summary

    Her benevolence is starving; starving for your attention, utmost dedication, and boundless happiness. Beware of breaking her wishes, or else you'll break her.

     

    The Damsel begs for your loyalty whilst simultaneously being an extreme doormat much to her mental deterioration. Undeterred, she doesn't mind "affecting" others to enforce a relationship she finds fated.

    Summary

    Priscilla Corbeau didn't love her husband, but she certainly didn't want him dead. And yet, when she returns from vacation, that's what she gets---along with the information that everything she knew about him was a lie.

    Years ago, he stole a fortune from the British government, and in doing so, made a number of enemies---all of whom are now after Priscilla. With the help of a charming stranger named Skips, she's got to track down that fortune before she winds up dead... except, it's not too clear whether or not Skips is all that trustworthy.

    And considering she's getting dangerously close to falling for him, that's a problem.

    Summary

    Being alone with you feels suffocating, but it doesn't mean I don't love you.

    I just wish our relationship felt like more than being captive again.

    Summary

    One thing always remains the same through countless timelines and transformations -- the Long Quiet and the Shifting Mound love each other, no matter what.

    That affection can persist even in the Voices and Perspectives that make up their smallest pieces, as many stories have shown us; we've seen the Voice of the Smitten paired up with the Damsel. The Voice of the Cold with the Spectre. The Voice of the Cheated with the Razor. The Voice of the Paranoid with the Nightmare. We've even seen the Voice of the Hero shack up with the so-called "base Princess."

    Booooring.

    This collection is for stories featuring new and different Voice/Perspective couplings, particularly ones that have been unfairly glossed over.

    Suggestions, requests, and all other kinds of (non-hateful) comments are welcome! I can't promise to fulfill every request, but you're all invited to make them anyway.

    Summary

    Life has never been safe for a Borrower in a world governed by humans. Viewed as evil omens, any power-bearing “Fae” find themselves prey to black market circles where their fates are drawn to the highest bidder. And sometimes, the winners prefer to place them into the ring and hedge their bets even higher on a gladiatorial fight against something much, much worse.

    As is the fate of a pair of escaped siblings, surviving in the woods by the skin of their teeth. But when evading their opponent proves too challenging, it may take deciding between trusting the owner of a nearby cabin or trying to outrun an enemy that can’t be killed.

    But the tenants of that safe haven have one damning condition: they must reveal themselves to him first to be granted shelter. In order to make peace with the present, it may take unraveling the horrors of the past and the entwined destines between them all to save who still remains of all Borrowers, Cryptids, and Fae - and perhaps even the very forest itself.

    When on Borrowed paths, some things cannot be returned.

     

    [Non-Borrower folks: Think of it as “Inverse Tower.” No prior knowledge needed!]

    Summary

    Shen Qingqiu and Tomioka Giyuu have been dropped into the Slay the Princess universe. At first, they're confused and target the protagonist of the universe, assuming that he was attacking a woman already locked away in the basement, but as time goes on and loops repeat, they realize that the princess is not what she seems

    The Long Quiet and the voices in his head are confused on why slaying the princess is more complicated than the narrator lets on.

    (10.02.25: Currently on hiatus until I figure out how to balance 3 AP classes AND this fanwork while one class isn’t even teaching. Should be back, though 👍👍)

    Summary

    The Wild and the Apotheosis are two of the strongest vessels, they can break the construct. When the Shifting Mound is a bit late on retrieving her gift of a Tender Heart, the Nightmare grows to receive this strength, too.

    But all she knows is how to hurt…

    And so she does. She breaks the Long Quiet. Not mentally, or spiritually, or even just his will. She breaks him in a terrible, pragmatic way.

    Like the Sleeping Mound, they can hope to rebuild him from the Paranoid voice that survives. Together, the Paranoid and the Nightmare must bring Voices to the Long Quiet, and Vessels to the Shifting Mound.

    Hilarity ensues.

    Summary

    After a self-sacrifice gone wrong, The Thorn is left wandering The Long Quiet with no one to guide her. On the verge of giving in, she finds exactly what she needed to see:

    A lone poppy flower, growing alone in the void.

    If that flower can survive on its own, why can't she? All her life she's yearned for freedom, will she enchain herself again just because she's alone in the world? No, of course not.

    Donning a new outlook (and outfit), the newly formed Wayfinder's memory promptly gets wiped and is placed on a path in the woods...

    ...Where she learns that the Hero who had fought so hard to protect her from being taken is the very person she has to slay.

    But of course, she doesn't know that.

     

    --

    Or, The Thorn gets placed in a Slay the Princess role-reversal AU via a Shifting Mound mishap.

    Summary

    “So. What are you?”

    I am the trunk from which you grow. What are you?

    The voice is almost the same as hers, with a faint echo, like a peaceful song promising warmth, trailing after it into the cold darkness. She does not trust it. The longing in her heart, as if she is looking at a long-forgotten home, that spreads from where it touches her, makes her trust it even less.

    (or: The Shifting Mound contends with her contradictions.)

    Summary

    She was alone again. It’s only reasonable, she did stab him, her saviour, her hero. The princess never wanted to be trapped, or shackled, or forced to kill someone she cared about, someone she wanted to leave with. He looked so pained, so unhappy… but… it is what he wanted, right?

    Or, the damsel’s perspective on things.
