    Summary

    In a society gilded with manners and marbled halls, two siblings crafted of essence and machinery must learn to play roles they were never made for.

    Carlo is earnest and thoughtful, struggling to make sense of gentleman’s clubs, flirtation, and the weight of a legacy he never asked for. Angelina moves through ballrooms and teas with sharp eyes and a sharper wit but every curtsy hides a mechanical truth. Their creator, Geppetto, vowed to be a better father, but finds himself just as lost as his children in the maze of social expectations, eligible matches, and whispered judgments.

    But beneath the silks and powdered masks, something stirs.

    Puppets are beginning to move without strings. Whispers of machines acting on their own spread like smoke. A glint in the eyes of street marionettes. The snap of thread in the dead of night.

    The world is changing and the Geppetto twins might be all that stands between order and chaos. But can they survive together as their own hearts ache for each other or will the world tear them apart?

    Summary

    He followed the butterflies across time and space, finding a safe Krat at the end of his journey. Yet the Clever One is unable to look beyond the trail of bodies behind him.

    Lea and Romeo's demise weighing heavily on his mind, his hard-earned humanity screams at him to take action; and unable to refuse, he solicits the aid of Sophia to indulge in the most foolish (human) of desires: to forge an impossible path.

    Returning once more to the past, the Clever One fights to right the wrongs of the god that visited such suffering upon them, and, hopefully, be able to watch the sun rise once more.

    It was over. Simon was dead, his father was dead, his first born son dead. Sophia, the love of his life, was also dead.

He finds himself in a different world, one where Carlo, Sophia and Romeo are alive. Where he is human and Carlo brother. This world feels too perfect, too good. The Puppet wonders if this is real, and should he go home?

From faulty, to rouge puppets, to the Alchemist experiments getting loose or someone sick. Krat was home to those who called it home. Stella was a citizen of Krat, raised by her adopted siblings. Her misadventures definitely lead to some interesting scenarios. A series of one shots about the good timeline in Krat.

    Summary

    Он не придёт, хочет сказать Ромео, но молчит. Он не придёт, хоть какие непристойности вытаптывай на утреннем снегу, хоть стой на голове, хоть сожги до углей весь приют — за этим последует только щедрая компенсация.

    Summary

    For years, Carlo has been listening to an unknown male artist on YouTube — a hidden gem with barely fifty followers. Every night, that deep, soothing voice lulled him to sleep; every day, it played on repeat in his headphones.

    One night, when Carlo sneaks out to attend a party in secret, the last thing he expects is to find him — the singer — performing live on a small stage in a dimly lit pub tucked between the city’s towering skyscrapers.

    The next morning, Carlo wakes up with a pounding headache, a hangover worse than any before, and one shocking discovery: in his drunken state, he must have kissed that very same singer, Romeo — because photos of it are all over his social media.

    To save his reputation, Carlo and Romeo come up with a plan — they’ll pretend to date for a while, then stage a breakup, so it doesn’t look like the son of New York’s richest man drunkenly kissed a stranger.

    But the more time they spend together, the more Carlo starts to fear that his feelings for Romeo might not be pretend after all.

    Summary

    But he didn’t want to die. Not like this. Not abandoned, discarded. He had no idea what Geppetto might do to him next, and he didn’t want to find out. Summoning the last of his willpower, P fumbled for the pocket watch Sophia had given him. His fingers closed around it, and with his remaining energy, he poured his Ergo into the watch. The world dissolved into shimmering blue crystals.

    Summary

    The puppet frenzy has claimed the City of Krat. As one of the few survivors, you try to navigate what remains of the apocalyptic city and the mysteries that allowed not only the frenzy but the alchemists to take hold. You cling to the belief that you can escape to a new life once all is said and done. However, survival hinges on learning to accept the new bond placed in front of you, one with the puppet that was created in your dead lover's image, or risk dying alone.

    Summary

    The last thing Lea saw when she closed her eyes in the Rose Garden was the corpse of the gray-haired stranger. The last thing she felt was grief. She and her mysterious companion had failed, and Romeo would pay the price just as Carlo had before. She had been living a nightmare which had finally come to its bloody, bitter end.

    It must have been a nightmare. Why else would she have woken up?

    Meanwhile, P awoke to a Krat even more foreign to him than the one he'd seen in Lea's time. This bright, thriving city had yet to experience the worst of its troubles. And with the Carlo of this time still alive and well, P realized he could keep it that way. Alone, it would be a difficult fight. Luckily, someone who had lived those same nightmares was just as determined to keep them from ever coming to pass.
