    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

    It was strange. Ren was still technically in his castle in the Feywild, yet he seemed to follow around Martyn wherever he went, keeping an eye on him as he pleased. A more tangible kind of scrying. He spoke to Martyn often, but so far, he only ever made himself visible when Martyn was alone. He was present enough to observe all of Martyn’s surroundings, at least.

    “It’s a battleaxe, not a common hatchet. It should do battleaxe things. Like slicing monsters’ heads off! Not chopping firewood!”

    …and present enough to judge him for doing campsite chores with his fancy pact weapon.

    Well, it was hardly the worst thing a patron had done to him.


    TL;DR - After making it out of the Feywild, Martyn adjusts to having Ren as a warlock patron.

    Summary

    Prison never would've been Scott's vacation of choice. The food is bad, the clothes are hideous, and worst of all, he has very little time for his true passion: thievery. But now that he's newly free after three years, he has plans for something big, and he knows he can't do it alone.

    Cleo is trying her best to be content. Her gang, the Crastle, is one of the most feared in the city and she has a decent stake in the city's illicit trade of magic. Things are good, if monotonous. But that might just change after she receives a visit from an old friend, and an offer she can't refuse.

    Pearl swears up and down that her life isn't a mess. She finally has a normal job and normal friends, and she's only mildly paranoid. She also swore that she'd never do another heist again, but that was before Scott found her, and dragged her back into the past she wanted to leave behind.

    One last job. That was the promise. How hard could it be?
    — ☆ —
    TL;DR - A 1920s fantasy AU in which Scott, Pearl, and Cleo are a team of thieves.

    "And how is that going?"

    "I'll need a little longer in this establishment."

     

    Or:
    Guillermo and Nandor hit the road. They try to talk about their feelings.

    Summary

    A “what if?” Au where Twilight Sparkle panics after being turned into an alicorn and casts form altering spells on her friends. She disappears, leaving them stunned and trying to figure out where she went. Can they figure out how to adapt to their new selves? How do they feel about their friend after what she’s done? And is there a way for them to bring her back home?

    Disclaimer:
    In no way am I a professional, characters may be out of character, redemption will be fast, and character arcs will not be fully developed in the end. This fanfic is the equivalent to season 4 of Mlp fim, and questions will be left unanswered. If you don’t like things being “wrong” to canon, please read where this is an alternate universe. And if you think it’s strange how fast things are going, refer to the show as it happens the same way. Thank you for reading, and keep in mind that this is just for fun! It’s not something to take serious in any way.
