Summary
Verris is a city built upon towering metal structures and shrouded in mist, where every emotion is watched and every thought recorded. Under the rule of the Council of Watchers, no one is truly free — not even those sworn to enforce the law.
Clancy, a Watcher who learned to obey, begins to question the system that shaped him. Torchbearer, a rebel on a secret mission, carries fragments of a long-forgotten resistance. When their paths cross in one of Verris’s forbidden sectors, an unlikely alliance is born — forged in distrust, survival, and the faint spark of something that could reignite hope.
Inspired by the city of Dema.

Summary
"... Nym hears Astarion put his dagger away with a satisfied sigh. 'Are you going to let all that blood go to waste? Thought you’d have your fill with him.'
Astarion stops directly in front of him, rosemary filling his lungs. He feels a flutter of nervousness at the proximity, a heat that climbs up his neck. 'And why would I do that, knowing I have something infinitely more delicious offering itself up to me?'"

Summary
Daryl awakens disoriented on the shores of France, with no memory of how he arrived and only fragments of his past to guide him. Struggling through an unfamiliar city, he scavenges supplies, evades armed strangers, and recalls pieces of his childhood—most vividly Evelyn, the girl who once offered him kindness when no one else would. Fate brings them back together when she rescues him from near death, revealing herself as a doctor and leader haunted by past trauma and hunted by Carlos, a ruthless mercenary. Their reunion rekindles buried trust, but also forces both to confront guilt, survival, and the fragility of hope. As the monastery sanctuary crumbles under Carlos’s looming threat, Evelyn and Daryl’s bond deepens, tested by loss, betrayal, and violence. They managed to make it back to Alexandria but amid shattered communities and relentless danger, they cling to each other, discovering that love, loyalty, and survival may be the only light left in a world that refuses to stop taking.

Summary
~
They had pretended that they could heal the past with a touch, that a kiss counted as forgiveness. And maybe it did, for her. But she is the one who left and the one who returned, already decided on what she wanted. He is the one who carries the burden of forgiving. Part of her wants to hold him close, so close that he has no choice but to let her in again.
But she knows him better than that.
~
It's been fifteen years since the fall of the Netherbrain, and eight years since Morgan set her foot in Baldur's Gate.
For the better part of a decade she has traveled Faerûn in search of the puzzle pieces to her past. For the better part of a decade she has hoped that piecing them together would grant her forgiveness for all the things she has done. Now she instead has to seek the forgiveness of the one she left behind.
Can they still find reconciliation, or has time changed both of them too much?

Summary
Mikasa Ackerman, a simple 21-year old young girl who lives with her father in their home, where they have over the years built their father-daughter bond like no one else. Mikasa’s childhood is faint for reasons she cannot explain, and her father doesn’t seem to have the answers either, unless he doesn’t want to share them with her.
Love had never been something Mikasa cared about throughout her teen years, though she always deep down wanted someone she could share her life with. The question is, would it be the man from her dreams or someone she’ll settle down for, when she finally gives up on love?
Her family may not be able to provide answers to her questions, but maybe another will, and maybe that another family, might change her life forever in ways Mikasa might not be able to handle.

Summary
“But I did warn you. Don’t say I didn’t. You got your hopes up—”
“—The odds were good,” Phillip interrupts. “We weighed our choices and—you know what, no, we’re not talking about this again. Especially not here.”
“Did you?” Diane cuts in. “Weigh your options?” She nods towards where Evan is examining the green stains on his hands and Valerie snorts a laugh when he stamps his small handprint onto the tablecloth. “He was a saviour sibling. Now what is he? What will you tell him?”
“We tell him nothing,” Margaret sighs to rid her chest of the burden of hospital air. She wraps her arms around herself to sculpt an embrace her mother has yet to give her. “We lost Daniel. We lost our baby boy.” Her voice breaks at the last word, and she lowers her head.
“You still have your family,” says her father Arthur, a quiet, hopeful man.
But his daughter shakes her head. “Not without him. Not anymore.”
OR: A telling of the untold, of the moments between postcards, of the ghost at Buck's shoulder, of the day he said the q-word, of the day he said 'I do'. A rewrite of the show up until season 5 where, eventually, Buck finds a place to call home.

Summary
"I want to stop being a creature. I want to become a beast."
Born from Bhaal’s blood and tasked to become his perfect weapon, a girl with no name struggles to keep her will alive. Murder is not just a task — it's ecstasy, identity, obligation.
Haunted by the urge and trained to excel or die, she learns to wear masks: obedient Zhentarim courier, mysterious Drow noble, sword-priestess of Eilistraee. Yet in the Feywild, where an Archfey gives her rules instead of chains, she begins to ask the unthinkable:
"What if I want to be more than a weapon?"This is her origin story — one that stretches all the way into the main events of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Before she wakes up on the nautiloid, she was a blade in the making.
She becomes a warlock, an actress, a liar, and after all she finds herself entangled with tyrant. But strange enough, this one cares about her. -

Summary
On the fifth night of their involuntary tadpole misadventure together, Monster Hunter Inara (Tav) clashes with the realm's most obvious vampire when he tries to take a clandestine bite of her. But as with every plan Astarion had come up in his unlife so far, it contains one step only. So what if this gremlin vampire cat actually is forced to face and deal with the consequences of his bite-y actions? Chaos and hilarity ensues, of course.
Or, tfw Astarion has slurped up the only person in camp willing to help him in spite of his vampie... everything, and now has to find a way to bring Inara back. Ideally before the others in camp wake up and bring out the stakes and torches.
A character-focused, introspective version of Bite Night and its events beyond with its serial numbers filed off, because canon is just a guideline anyway, and thus goes way beyond the mere scene. Because perhaps in between the hunger, flailing, misconceptions and bickering a first understanding between Inara and Astarion can be gained. One that actually transcended lifetimes.
Rating is for Chapter 1 only. Everything else is SFW.

This work is an ongoing semi-graphic novel using in-game screenshots. It will be updated periodically, at minimum once a week, at most 2-3 times in a day. It's an adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077's main storyline with most major dialogue from the game. However, the plot is heavily-modified and features several additional key events, hundreds of new conversations, brand-new and returning characters, lore expositions, and other substantial changes. Expect entirely original acts, endings, and character arcs throughout.

You do NOT need prior experience with the Cyberpunk franchise to enjoy this work! I have meticulously transcribed everything relevant to the lore so anyone can understand it, regardless of familiarity. -

Summary
Chiaki was going to die. She was supposed to die, but then a long-haired, handsome, and mysterious man felt pity for once in his life.
But what if that wasn't enough? What if after a long while, after everything, everything he let happen, you still feel some kind of sadness? Some kind of anger? Some kind of...despair?
And what if despite it all, despite your own best interest, you can't bring yourself to truly hate him?
