    Summary

    Charlotte was the daughter made of sunshine and big, bright dreams. Diana? Diana was made of the quiet,always in the background, stuck with a title from Heaven she never wanted.

    Now, she’s come to in a damp New Orleans alleyway with no memories, a scratchy blanket, and a cold that won't leave her bones. She doesn't know who she is or why she’s there, all she knows is the woman who found her is very kind.

    And then there’s Alastor. He’s sharp, he’s curious, and he’s looking at her like she’s a riddle he has to solve.

    Being human is a lot harder than the stories she grew up on, but maybe it’s a little easier when you aren’t doing it alone.

    Summary

    Sin. It was a sin.

    The only thought passing through Yunho's troubled mind was that Mingi had committed the greatest of sins. Still, going against all of his own dogmas, Yunho found himself seeking Mingi's warmth even more. Yunho wanted to pray for him, to connect with him. Perhaps that was Yunho's purpose in the world, perhaps he could change Mingi for good and make him seek salvation while there was still time.

    But Mingi, whose arms then wrapped around Yunho's body in a longing embrace, did not seem to want to be saved.

    Summary

    A wise woman said I'm alive,
    Nobody's ever told her she's wrong;
    A paella of space-talking jive,
    I'm as alive as her beard is long!

    Jon, a struggling researcher, is offered a job by a strange man claiming to be the head of the Archival Branch of the Magnus Institute, the job being for the replacement for the mysteriously disappeared Gertrude Robinson, the last Librarian of Hush House.

    Jon knows the job is far too good to be true, and yet he takes it anyway.

    Summary

    This is how monsters are made….and how someone learns to love one anyway.

    You knew him before the radio show. Long before Hell, long before he became dangerous.
    To you, he was always just, Alastor. And maybe that was the problem. Because by the time you realized what he was becoming, you were already in too deep.

    The story of how you fall in love with a monster only to follow him in the decent to Hell.

    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.
    Later chapters (48, 53 and 58) contain more explicit content.

    Summary

    As the echoes of war threaten their future, Dunk—a humble Alpha and servant to the Targaryens—graduates as an engineer with the help of his patrons. After a mysterious exile in a boarding school, Aerion returns more frigid and provocative than ever.

    Dunk attempts to decipher the enigma of this visceral hatred that seems to conceal something far deeper. Amidst the scent of withered roses and humiliation, both will be swept away by a current of tensions and family secrets that threaten to destroy the order of their world before the first plane crosses the sky.

    Summary

    Baltimore, Maryland, 1935. A decade of change and struggle, masking the individuals who moved by shadow. Half a century after a mass exodus out of the US by Those Who Run The Night, and after the country began to fill its power vacuums and grow into something greater. The appeal of wealth became clear to those with unlimited time, and a growing industrial system offered ever more opportunities to pursue it. Violence during the day could effectively draw attention away from the blood drained during the evening. When a group of young men, just beginning to explore a country in shambles, find a promise of employment and health, who could blame them for accepting?
    From Death We Rise follows a group of vampires recounting their experience serving an industrial “innovator” and political machine, Mr. James Reynolds, and the forces of fate that gave them the ability to free themselves from a blood contract. But innovation calls for greater exploration, and the reproliferation of Reynolds' methods by a growing number of creatures calls for an investigation of what remains of those Who Remain.

    Summary

    “You know, I feel so calm with you,” Istvan says quietly. The ruddy light from the lamp outlines the soft contours of his face, highlighting his unspent youth, a kind of contradictory innocence. “You’re not as stern as you pretend to be, Erik. Do you know what gives it away?”

    “What is it?” Erik asks through clenched teeth, frozen inwardly.

    “You're smiling at me with your eyes.”

    Summary

    “And that’s right, Marco! What can I say, you agree too, right folks?” A voice, familiar in cadence, but tinny in its tone, echoes around him, bouncing off broken glass and bent rebar poking out of crumbling concrete.

    Applause thunders from disembodied speakers and the screens crowd closer, their pretty bright spots of red-green-blue dancing over his undulating body. His own face, his harsh profile gazes back wide eyed, grinning from every conceivable angle. High definition deification.

    The show host’s pause holds a single beat too long.

    One beat, but his demon on his shoulder had spotted it from the rafters of the soundstage, from within the wires, from behind the camera's lens. He’d spotted it and another line was added to the creature’s tally.

    Vincent remembers the exact moment he’d realised, on-air live amidst the audience's theatrics and the blinding spotlights, and he’d known punishment would be coming for the slip up.

    He’d hoped it would.
    -
    Vincent makes a mistake during a live show, his Demon decides to correct that behaviour...

    Summary

    Mikhail knew what he wanted from a very early age. To get his family out of the Soviet Union. At age fifteen he wasn’t strong enough to get those he cared about out of there, but something he never valued too much gave him a chance, his smarts. He was able to get a complete scholarship to an American private school in a tiny town that had significant personality. It wasn’t until the summer where he meets the most interesting person in this town and only there for the summers.

    Herbert Ludwig’s life had been set in stone from the day he was born. And by god he LOVED it— he was ecstatic every summers day when he could follow his father into the base and watch his work. He didn’t care that he was seen as creepy, off putting or even ‘devil spawn’(which was more insulting to his father than him), he had his father, mother and friend Dell. That was enough for him. Then Dell brought around a rather tall and handsome boy.

    Summary

    Remy LeBeau built his empire in the grey areas of Prohibition-era New York, where the law doesn't reach and loyalty is bought with blood. His newest treasure is Merle Ross, a singer whose voice enchants his club every night. But when Anna-Marie returns from Europe with vengeance in her heart, Merle becomes a pawn in a deadly game between these two former lovers.

    In the shadows of speakeasies and penthouses, Merle will learn that sometimes the most beautiful cages are the hardest to escape. And sometimes, the most dangerous person isn't the one threatening your life —it's the one promising to save it.

    Summary

    "I didn't catch your name."
    "I never gave it to you."
    "It's the polite thing to do."
    "You'll find I'm not very polite."
    Tom raised an eyebrow. "I thought Hufflepuffs were all polite."
    "And I thought Slytherin were all cunning. Seems there are a few idiots in the lot, too."
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    or, What if Tom met a strange Hufflepuff boy during his time at Hogwarts and found out he had a heart somewhere hidden inside?

    Summary

    On the 12th of March 1938, Austrias sovereignty was put to a vote. Or at least that had been the plan. They opt to just surrender instead.

    On the 10th of April 1938, Austrias sovereignty was put to a vote. Not that there's much of a point to it now, but it's happening anyway.

    In-between are almost four weeks, an interlude of sorts.

    Roderich Edelstein, spirit of Vienna, intends not to waste them.

    Summary

    After Alastor summons a particularly obsessive TV demon, he realizes that the creature is rather useful for completing household tasks, like scrubbing dishes. Unfortunately, Vox decides to involve himself in a problem that does not concern him.

    Over time, the demon becomes rather clingy and Alastor wishes that he had never even attempted to contact the afterlife: having a giant, blue monster following you around like a puppy quickly becomes annoying if you are someone who values your privacy.

    --

    OR: Alastor makes his demon do his chores to assert dominance. Vox obviously complies and makes no attempt to go back to Hell, despite claiming that he is above such trivial tasks.

    It may or may not be due to the fact that he wants to spend more time with Al. ‎
