    Summary

    New Orleans, 1928. The Bayou Butcher has been active for years, but only recently has his case begun drawing real attention.
    When Evelyn Bennett takes a position as Alastor’s secretary at the local radio station, she quickly realizes he is not what he seems:
    She sees enough to know better and decides to look not too closely.

    As their connection deepens through music, work and conversation, curiosity becomes something far more dangerous.
    What forms between them is built on what is noticed and what is left unspoken.
    A slow-burn story about control, awareness and choice.
    Where love is not redemption and staying is a decision.

    Note: The chapters are still being edited for clarity and continuity.

    Summary

    "If I shall be saved, it will be because your love redeems me."

    If anyone ever told you that you'd go from a homeless wanderer to marrying a serial killer, you're pretty sure you'd ask them if they were smoking crack. But here you were, ring on your finger and a body count to go with it. Goddammit.

    Summary

    “Remind me to thank him next time I see him. Once that bill is passed into law, I’ll be the first in line to inquire for a divorce.”
    “What for?”
    “Don’t you recall? I’m married.”

    England, 1923

    Four years after the Great War ended, Harry Styles lives contentedly at the tender age of 26. He’s one of the first and only Omega shopkeepers to own and manage a business in London, and he is surrounded by devoted friends and clients who all seem to be in dramatic romantic quarrels or blissfully joyful engagements.
    Parliament is about to pass a law that makes the divorce process less daunting for Omegas like Harry. This news prompts him to reconsider his union with an Alpha he had married almost nine years ago, but had since lost all connection with.
    In desperate need to return to his husband’s good graces to undergo a divorce without vexation, their reconnection unravels the tension of their impassive union and uncovers the harrowing truth of why they lived so long in each other’s shadow and silence.

    Or the one where Harry and Louis are estranged husbands in a decade-long relationship and fall in love again too late into it.

    Summary

    An OC x canon AU set in a chaotic human world, where ambition outweighs morality.

    Two lives collide by chance and gradually intertwine through rivalry, obsession, and a shared hunger for power. What begins as petty conflict evolves into a partnership so unbreakable that even violence fails to tear it apart.

    Opposites in nature yet dangerously compatible, they rise together through fame, influence, and hard-earned prosperity. Each step forward strengthens their bond — and sharpens the consequences.

    Because even the almighty are destined to fall.

    Summary

    Thomas the Tank Engine is a calm world… until you wake up reborn as (Iron) Phoenix, a brand new engine with little or no clue, too much steam, and a knack for surviving teasing engines, impossible schedules, and very judgmental coaches. Somehow, you have to learn the ropes of Sodor's very own North Western Railway itself, keep your firebox from exploding, and figure out if anyone has ever taught engines about basic self preservation, and all while wondering how much trouble one rookie engine can actually cause.

    And also, how do you make sure you don't die (again, maybe? Did you even die?) too soon as (Iron) Phoenix?

    {Just as a disclaimer, this is based on both canons with all their retcons that came with them!}

    Summary

    She pauses, wincing at her own words, then murmurs, “You do know you're…?”

    Arthur nods stiffly, scanning the room again with new information. So there are others. So many that they can fill a secret room in New York without even trying. With rules and traditions and leaders he never knew about because Anya turned tail the moment things started going bad. Abandoned him, young and lost, to figure all of this out for himself. 

    He has mourned that day for nearly ten years. He's had all the time in the world to ruminate, to think how how it could have gone differently, play out a million different ways he could have spared their lives. But now, for the first time, he feels a bubbling hatred for his sire. Because this wasn't entirely his fault, was it?

    OR

    Arthur visits New York and discovers an entire world of vampires he’d never thought existed.

    Summary

    Euan MacGillivray came home from one war to inherit another. His estate is dying, blighted by a decay that starves the fields and bleeds his coffers dry. His only solution is the axe, to sell the ancient heartwood of Alder Stone to pay its debts.

    Unfortunately for him, the land isn't empty. Something guards it. Coira is the Glaistig, the 'Grey Lady' of local myth made flesh and fury. Bound to the soil for centuries, she is the land's weeping heart, stony protector, and its vengeful spirit.

    Poison creeping from the sea saps her strength. And the new Laird's axe threatens her sacred groves. To save their home, a soldier who believes in nothing and a distrustful guardian must forge a new pact. One that will either heal the scarred Highlands, or unravel them both.

    Summary

    "Em có thấy không, ánh đèn xanh từ bên kia bờ vịnh? Có khi chập chờn, có khi dồn dập...anh cứ dõi theo nó, nhìn mãi, nhìn mãi tới tận nhập nhoạng bình minh."

    Hắn khẽ khàng đỡ lấy tay em. Ngón nhẫn long lanh bắt lấy vầng dương tàn cuối chiều, giọt mưa nghiêng loé sáng sắc xanh địa cầu khi em khum tay, lòng bàn tay vươn ra bắt lấy ánh đèn xa xôi nọ. Một nỗi run rẩy gần như là xót xa rơi vào khoé mi em, và trong màn sương những đêm trăng về trước, em tưởng như em đã thấy Sunghoon đứng đó.

    Bóng lưng hắn cô độc trên cây cầu nhỏ. Sunghoon nhẹ giọng, hắn không gọi tên em, nhưng em biết hắn chưa từng thôi mong chờ em.

    "Ngọn hải đăng của anh, đèn báo bão của anh."

    Summary

    When Lana Gomez stepped inside of Alastor's radio station it was like the universe shifted, like something sublimely cosmic alligned.

    Alastor isn't a soft man until vanilla and honey fill his senses and a girl with a ribbon in her dark curls tucks herself close to his side whilst he walked her home that very first night.

    Alastor Altruist is not a violent man, not until his love's heart stops beating, and he is left with a legacy he is unsure how to raise with out the comforting touch of her hand, with out big brown eyes that crinkle when she smiles. He doesn't know how to be father, but he knows he can't disappoint his song bird.

    Michael loves her, he had her killed because nobody deserves his dove. A gilded cage is what she needs safely tucked inside heaven, with him. Under his wing. Alastor doesn't deserve her, and he'll make his pretty dove understand that.

    Summary

    Newly married and thrust into life at the Romanian court, Nicholas of Romania and Princess Natalie Paley must learn to live not only with each other, but with the weight of unresolved grief, expectations, and a union born of necessity as much as affection. Court politics prove no less ruthless than those they left behind, and Nicholas soon discovers that love offers little protection against the ever-present shadow of his brother Carol, waiting abroad for the right moment to reclaim power, as well as Natalia's past.

    Meanwhile, Vladimir finds himself drawn to Romania more often than expected, under the pretext of family visits that quickly become something else. Old feelings resurface where they should not, and the line between restraint and inevitability grows thinner with every meeting.

    For Irina, marriage offers no refuge. When a devastating revelation shatters what little illusion remained, her union with Feodor becomes a façade, carefully maintained for appearances alone. Turning away from court life, she dedicates herself entirely to the creation of a new hospital, finding in purpose and service a form of fulfillment she never anticipated—and a freedom she had not known she was seeking.

    Summary

    No thing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away.

    — Percy Bysshe Shelley

    It is a great loss, to have a bastion of such knowledge be burnt to ashes.

    Better to have these things journaled, than to rot in my memory, forever untouched.

    Russian Republic felt drawn to visit the palace he once called home. Stumbling into the library, he found himself comfortable in his now-dead mother's private corner, and found a peculiar book. Supposedly one of a single poetry by an Englishman, yet looked more thicker than it should be. Though it felt rude to intrude, it was only then that he realised the true nature of the white leather-bound book. It was a diary, Russian Empire's diary to be exact.

    (Or, Russian Republic finds Russian Empire's diary.)

    Part of the Bureau of Investigation, Y/N is assigned a new case that takes them to the turbulent South— specifically a city called New Orleans. Determined to succeed, they aim to uncover and catch the rising serial killer known as the Bayou Butcher. Thankfully, they encounter some help along the way.

    “Think of it this way, my dear– wouldn’t you rather have the assistance of a man who’s informed about this wonderful city?”

    They narrowed their eyes, but the radio host’s charming smile simply widened.

    “Civilians should not be involved in investigating criminal cases.”

    “Oh, but Agent…” Alastor paused, his gaze glinting faintly behind his round glasses. “I already am.”
