Summary
They called Merlin the Greatest Wizard. Morgana the Supreme Witch. None knew that when their blood becomes one, the ALBERICH shall rise.
Morwenna Jane Alienor Alberich Emrys-LeFay — heir of the Keith family, descendant of two Arcane Lords. Born with snow-white hair and emerald eyes, her existence made ancient magic tremble. Yet her power came with a price: extreme fragility in childhood.
Death at five gave her a second chance. Carrying memories from a modern world that witnessed the fall of wizarding Britain, she returned changed. Arrogant, sharp, and shaped by two lifetimes — now known as Nimue Keith.
To her, there is no "Light vs Dark". Only Tradition vs Decay. Dumbledore seeks change that erodes magic. Voldemort seeks purity that destroys it.
Standing above both, the Descendant of the Arcane Lords will rewrite fate and restore Balance.
"I am not here to choose sides. I am here to become the Law." — Nimue Keith

Summary
Ryland Grace had gotten to him, wormed his way right into his well-shielded heart, and right now he feels trapped, caught between what he wants to do and what he has to do. He rubs his neck and tells himself it doesn't matter because he has a job to do. He took an oath, for fuck's sake.
Missing scenes for the time between Grace being tackled on base until his trip to the Hail Mary.

Summary
When nine-year-old Matt Murdock comes home deafblind, life isn't easy. Jack Murdock doesn’t have training. He doesn’t have answers. (He also doesn't die!)
What he has is calloused hands, stubborn love, and the determination to help his son not only survive, but thrive.
Trading Leather begins a series of vignettes. I’ve gone rogue and am thoroughly AU even from my own canon except for the fact that Matt is still Deafblind (which is the one thing that seems to be holding my verse together). I started out this thinking it was a prequel to Idle Hands, but that changed pretty quickly.
Yes, Matt and Foggy will eventually end up together romantically. All in due time. I'll change the rating to mature eventually. Right now, the main theme centers around the father-son dynamic. There will have to be a POV switch away from Jack at some point.

Ordinary life.
Each day, always the same.
There are people in the world who'd wish upon a star to remain stuck in sameness rather than lose their innocence, let their youth slip away and embrace adulthood.
Noelle is one of them. She wishes for a better world, a better life, for herself and her sister.
A life beyond violence, beyond anger, beyond treachery.
This is the Cathartic Route...

Summary
The problem with magic, as this young mage would tell you, is that it makes so many things possible—and only some of them are explicitly forbidden. How is a boy to know which is which? He could ask his father, naturally. The older mage would tell. But that goes against every instinct of boyhood. Some lessons must be learned the hard way.
This is a collection of stories about childhood, magic, and the trouble that inevitably follows—at home, at school, on the family farm, and in every place where a boy with too much power and too little wisdom might find himself called to account.
Mind the tags and make sure you are good with them before reading.

Summary
This is a work of what I call "speculative mythology." It's the shared, continuous stories of a highly eusocial people, and the many names that have emerged across the telling and retelling, translating and re-translating of these tales across many generations. It's bug lore, ant mythology, spec myth, a love letter to a people who never existed. There's Skith, who climbed. Akti, who ran. The two-tandem of Sett and Tattik. Rika, who went downward, and who dueled in the Serpent-Tunnel. The Small Colony, the Four Tree Colony, the tumult of Our Mound where no Queen lives, and the great labors of the Gods Inside.
