    Summary

    He’d been naive.

    Stupid, foolish, and naive.

    Too kind, too nice, too forgiving, too trusting— Too loving. And all he has to show for on this bridge, a divide between two kingdoms, is lily petals.

    Pure white, as innocent as snow, yet stained with dried blood, a side-effect of his own magic growing too potent inside of his body. They show his heart’s desire in the shaky palm of his hand, and with it, proof that he’ll never get what he wants. That he isn’t loved back, that it’s unrequited, that instead he’d die a lonely, excruciating death soon. That all he’s worth is his temporary crown, the lies he’s been told, the distrust he’s been given, and the flowers that once blossomed underneath his feet, and now bloom inside his lungs.

    Or, Scott Goldsmith was once a half-elf mage by the name of Scott Springwell

    Summary

    For a brief moment, the quiet patrol felt less ordinary—like the night itself was waiting for something to happen.

     

    As Nom turned his gaze away from the quiet streets, a sudden sound tore through the stillness of the night.

     

    A scream.

     

    It was sharp and raw, echoing out from the direction of the mage’s hidden house and cutting through the calm like a blade. The wind seemed to falter for a moment, the rustling leaves falling quiet as the sound carried across the moonlit courtyard.

     

    Nom stopped instantly.

     

    The scream wasn’t one of anger or battle. It was the kind that came from deep panic—the kind dragged out of someone who had just been ripped from a terrible dream. The kind that left the air trembling long after it faded.

     

    His eyes snapped back toward the house, now feeling far less peaceful than it had moments before. The shadows around it looked deeper, heavier, as if the night itself had drawn closer.

     

    And Nom knew exactly whose voice it was.

     

    Scott’s.

    Summary

    “Louis’s gaze switches from one angel to the other, the choking grief he’s been ignoring building up in his chest again and threatening to come spilling out again. ‘What if we tried again?’ he asks.
    The second angel’s head tilts to the side. « What do you mean? »
    ‘What if you sent us back? To the night I died- or earlier than that? And we didn’t make the same mistakes? And he didn’t do- do what he did?’”

    Alternatively:

    Even after he watches his love be torn away from him and dragged down into Hell, Louis will not give up on him. Instead, he goes to the angels and makes a request: Sent them back to the night they met. Give them another chance. Let them get it right this time.

    Summary

    He stands behind him, leaving little kisses across his shoulders. "So cute, my pet," he croons, grabbing a hairbrush. "We're gonna dress you up all nice and pretty for me, ok?" 

    The fledgling nods, purring as he feels the brush's bristles glide through his hair pleasantly. Scott continues brushing far past what was actually necessary, simply letting Avid enjoy the feeling. After a bit, Scott grabs a pretty purple ribbon, using it to tie his hair back in a low ponytail.

    He made Avid turn to look at himself in the mirror, "Look at how pretty you are, darling," he purrs, sliding a thumb across his bottom lip, making him take a sharp inhale, "your cute kissable lips, your lovely dark hair, your vibrant eyes with those pretty long lashes. I bet you'd look so beautiful crying for me," he leans in to hiss the last sentence into his ear making Avid gasp, keening lightly.

    He whimpers as Scott tugs at the leash, guiding him to stand up from the chair. The tension had been brewing for days now; he wanted Scott to touch him so badly.

Oh boy I hope there are no murderers on this train.

    Summary

    Ever since Louis died, Owen’s nightmares have stayed consistent: a white-haired man with Louis’s face tied to a pyre and burnt alive, flames licking up the peeling wood of a building; screams, blood, claws, hell opening under him, hell opening within him. He’s memorised the settings he sees in these phantasmagoria: cobweb-filled forests, leviathan bodies of water, a walled town he fears atavistically, inexplicably.

    His research of the place in his mind has matched with the description of the ancient, mythical town of Oakhurst. The one filled with vampires, if the myths are true.

    Whoever’s given him this book can’t have seen what he dreamed of, can they? He opens it and coughs, flapping the dust out of his face.

    At fifteen, Owen meets Louis, who changes his life.

    At thirty-four, Owen lives a magically mundane life with Legundo, until a book shows up on his doorstep.

    Summary

    Let's say that there is such a thing as a monster in the closet. Well, this is where that monster comes to break free of its chains once it finally grows tired of being locked up. When it pries open the closet door, it will find that it isn't so monstrous after all.

    They will find that they belong, and they might even fall in love along the way.

    or; a modern gay bar AU in which vampirism is a queer metaphor, everybody is queer, and nobody is truly a monster. Welcome to Vicious - the queerest establishment in all of Oakhurst

    Summary

    He had just turned toward the door when something flickered at the edge of his vision. A ripple of shadow. Barely there, gone the instant he registered it. But he knew he’d seen movement.
    And a man with his history, he knew when he wasn't alone. He knew when he was being stalked.

    Modern AU where Vampire Owen gets caught stealing from the hospital Legundo works at

    I have been on ao3 for years now, but I'm just now starting to post, sorry if things seem a little off at first! I also plan on editing the tags as I go, especially when I get to the smut scenes :)

    This is me trying to heal after the devastation from the series finale

     

    I use grammarly pro to occasionally adjust sentance structure and very rarely, it changes some wording (a more detailed explanation of my process is on page 13)

    Summary

       “My love… dinner is ready… ” Scott’s voice was soft, sweet, though his half-lidded eyes and breathless tone betrayed his words.

    … aren’t you hungry…?” His breath hitched, but he still tried to protest, his fingers twitching against Martyn’s broad back.

      “I am hungry…” His voice was thick with desire, each word dripping with promise. “I’m starving for you.” Scott’s breath caught in his throat. “And I’m going to devour you right here… right now.”

     

    It has been a year since Scott and Martyn shared their first date, first kiss, and the moment that changed everything—a single day that became the foundation of a love neither had known. Now, as they embrace the fierce passion they once longed for, Martyn faces a past he thought he left behind. With his music flourishing, his role at EpicLife evolving, and Scott’s endless love beside him, he steps forward—toward a future built on resilience, healing, and a love that will last for eternity.

    I feel the need to clarify that this fic was written back in october 2025 before Avid and their partners Marm actions came to light
    I in no way support their actions and hope the best for people affected and that they will heal.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Wow freshly turned Avid has issues
    He has a nightmare making him run away from the town falling in to Scotts arms, promising him safety they make a deal,
    Cleo is lying to martin
    Legs has some sort ot breakdown.
    Owen is the father that didn't want the cat but really likes the cat. (Cat being Avid)

    Summary

    Sometime after Owen threatens the town and Pearl makes her promise, she finds herself back at the start. And again. And again. And again.

    The vampires didn't concern her until they started hurting people, so she just went with the flow, and maybe had some fun along the way.

    And then people started looping as well.

    Summary

    Avid paused at the edge of the broken bridge, his breath coming in ragged gasps. His hands trembled; he clenched them into fists, nails digging into his palms. What if they turn me away? What if I’m too weak for this? The doubts swirled like fog in his mind.

    A rustle nearby snapped him from his thoughts. Avid whirled, his newly heightened senses picking up the scent of smoke and ash—familiar, yet laced with the metallic tang of blood. From the shadows emerged Pyro, his red eyes glowing faintly in the moonlight. Pyro’s expression was guarded, skeptical, as he crossed his arms over his chest. His white hair was tousled, and a faint scar marred his jaw from some recent skirmish.

    ______

     

    After getting turned, Avid is scared of accidentally hurting his friends, so he searches for Scott.
