Summary
They called him Woodsman because his hair was wild. The called him Woodsman because he could fell any tree in half the time it took any three other men working together. His arms were wrapped in heavy muscle born from years of haling lumber and carcasses into town to sell. They called him Woodsman because his voice was gruff and his clothes loose. He could out run, shoot, swim, lift and wrestle any man who challenged him. They said he must be a Woodsman because his shirts were sloppily mended with little care for beauty in the face of the harsh life in the forest. He must be a Woodsman, they said, because they had never seen him bathe, never heard him scream or sing. They called him a Woodsman because no woman would ever choose to live in the woods lest they be a witch, and witches didn’t look like the Woodsman. But, most importantly, they called him Woodsman because they had never actually asked him. As for the Woodsman, well she had enough sense not to correct convenient assumptions

Summary
A tale for Christmas
Sudden prosperity brings good fortune and wealth to the Poldarks of both the Trenwith and Nampara estates just at the point Cary Warleggan planned to ruin the Trenwith side for good by calling in their loans and taking possession of Trenwith House from the increasingly dire financial circumstances Cary and his nephew, George worked purposefully to produce for them. The Warleggans' goal, gaining control all of the Trenwith assets, seems soundly dashed. Cary is vexed and George is convinced there is some sort of nefarious witchery afoot as all of their dastardly schemes are rendered useless from solutions that not only save the day but strain all credibility. Can the Warleggans find out the Poldarks' secret? Can they destroy it? Can they capture control over it for themselves?

Summary
Lena Luthor leaves National City with nothing but a letter, a shaking heartbeat, and the truth she can no longer outrun. Ireland calls to her—its cliffs, its stones, its old magic—pulling her back to the legacy her mother died to protect. In the ruins of her family’s land lies a caol-áit, a thin place where the veil weakens and the Otherworld remembers those with the right blood.
Kara Danvers is left behind with the note, the silence, and the confession Lena never heard—I love you whispered to a woman in a coma, too late, too fragile, and now unbearably unanswered. When strange energy signatures begin echoing across the globe—ancient, wild, and unmistakably tied to Lena—Kara refuses to let distance, magic, or fear take her away again.
But what calls Lena across the sea is older than science, older than Krypton, older than grief. And when a breach tears open between worlds, Kara follows it straight into the heart of Irish magic and the ruins that shaped Lena’s fate.
Some distances are measured in miles.
Some in heartbreak.
And some in the thin places where two worlds—and two hearts—touch.Series

Whatever a Moon Has Always Meant / Whatever a Sun Will Always Sing by Shachaai

Summary
Saman is one of the few nights of the year where the veils are thin between worlds and planes. Ghosts who are willing may come to call on their still-living friends and family - along with some less benevolent entities.
Hosting a masquerade ball in the half-finished Crystal Cliffs Academy for Wizardry is Gem’s bright idea to keep an eye on a significant portion of her people overnight. It’s seasonal, good for morale - and a brilliant excuse to steal the Queen of Gilded Helianthia away from everyone so Gem can finally gather up the courage to confess something important to her.
If. Y’know. Her idiot brother doesn’t manage to start a diplomatic incident with his two equally ridiculous paramours first.Series

Summary
A new era of peace has a dark cost: the eradication of everything that doesn't fit a perfect world. The lines between salvation and slaughter have blurred.
Ones who resist are left with only one, desperate path to break the cycle: to condemn the purest soul to a fate worse than death.
The road calls once more...
...but this time, it leads to damnation. -

Summary
Mary seemed unsure of an answer, “I don’t know, or I don’t remember. In any case, it barely matters now. What are you–a ghost? A vengeful ghost? They say those don’t rest until their grudge is satisfied.”
Michiko looked down, bitterness evident in her voice, “Maybe……maybe not…..I don’t know. But I hunger for flesh and blood. You were supposed to be my meal.”
“O-oh…..” Mary seemed a bit guilty, “Dearie me, sorry to disappoint I suppose?”

Summary
The official Pick-n-Mix Comix adaptation of the original Sorrows Of Blackwood novella series.
That's right, distinct from the previous "adaptation", Sorrows Of Blackwood: Solemn Graces — in truth, more of a reimagined alteration of the events which took place — this draws directly from the original novella series for an ongoing which is truer to canon than ever before. The witch Grace Morgan comes to Grimstead in this story, this Gothic drama: Solemn Graces.
"Once Upon A Midnight Dreary, Chapter 2: In The Lion's Den"
Now arrived in Grimstead, Grace Morgan meets a carriage driven by Silvani drakehounds and the oldest man she's ever seen, on its way up the hill to Castle Gaunt, where a vampire informed by a psychic has let her know he's awaiting her presence...
"Grace Vs The Killer Snowbell, Part 1: The Floods Of Winter"
In 1978 OE, two years before her arrival in Grimstead, Grace faces a conflict with the Silvani myth Mister Snowbell, who threatens to freeze Goodview Lake as the Month of Cold Snaps begins.

Summary
Strondheim University is the first of its kind, offering classes in witchcraft and alchemy alongside more mundane subjects. Drysia Sitova is glad to have a scholarship somewhere that her not-quite-human qualities won't draw attention, but she's more worried about not flunking out of English than her own magical potential. When her boyfriend develops a mysterious illness that leaves human doctors stumped she is forced to look for help from witches, magical creatures, and her fellow metahumans.
It soon becomes clear that not only are there monsters at Strondheim University, but if she's going to save both her scholarship and her love life she's going to have to figure out which ones she can trust.

Summary
"HERMIT HARBOUR'S MERMIN: A RESEARCHER'S STUDY INTO THE CURIOUS CASE OF MOON GLOWING SEA CREATURES.
Mermin, first of all, is extremely old, now obsolete terminology for creatures currently called merfolk (inclusive of mermaids and mermen).
It is specifically used for the half fish, half human looking creature that uses their singing as bait.On this coast, the term has survived the years.
It is, in fact, still used by the paranoid people of Hermit Harbour to refer to this specific myth of theirs.
Although they never as much utter a word about the beings, it is the most notable myth in town.
One of the many, sitting comfortably next to the ghostly spectres of The Choir, their walking trees and talking birds.On oneself's experience, here's my account of what this tale entails."
The papers are signed off by Gem Stones, Scientist at the Facility of Research and Crafting.

Summary
Lipton sat awake, his blanket drawn tight around his shoulders. Sleep wouldn’t come. It hadn’t for days, not really. There was a weight in the air tonight, pressing against his chest, and an odd prickle at the back of his neck that made him glance over his shoulder every few minutes.

Summary
An Exorcism in Hex Hollow; or, On the Third Day Fill the Grave
It’s 2009 in rural North Georgia and Jayce Talis is running from something. He is running into the mountains, the prodigal son fleeing home in exile. There’s something screaming in the woods and something else whispering underneath his father’s house. He’s going home, God help him, he’s going home. And Viktor, his once best friend now a near stranger, works his grandmother’s farm and follows the old folk magic ways, and when he dreams of sinking into the black mud of his own grave, he sometimes wakes on misty mornings with his face pressed, cold and numb, into the tilled soil.
There’s something ancient and alive unearthed in the furrowed fields of Piltover County. There’s a circle drawn in horse’s blood. Foxes surround a lonely gravesite in the mountains. Gunshots echo from the farmhouse in the valley and poppets made from twigs and hair hang in the trees. There’s a devil that stalks the crossroads of Hex Hollow and it’s got a taste for Viktor’s blood – and Jayce might be the only thing that can save him from damnation.

Summary
What Remains is a dark, dreamy exploration of memory, magic, and the things we can’t quite forget, even when we try.
Hermione Granger oversees the Archive: a vast, living vault of magical memory buried deep beneath the Ministry. Memories are going missing. People are unraveling. And the magic holding everything together is beginning to... shift. The Ministry wants answers, and they’ve brought in an outside consultant to help her find them—Draco Malfoy. Reformed. Brilliant. Still impossible.
What starts as a tense partnership quickly becomes something far stranger. And the deeper they go into the Archive’s secrets, the more it seems to be watching them, shaping itself around their history, their regrets, and something else neither of them can name.
The war is over, but the scars are deep. Magic has grown colder, quieter, and more dangerous.
If you’re drawn to stories that blur the line between romance and haunting, between past and present; if you like sentient structures, a powerful Hermione, a morally gray Draco who never really stopped burning, and magic that feels like myth, then this one’s for you.
And fair warning: the Archive always takes something in return.Series
