Summary
He was born as Subject-7, a genetically engineered weapon forged in Iwagakure's secret "Kiln Project", which produces Iwa's Explosion Corp. He chose to become a ghost, and in a brilliant flash of an explosion at the tender age of 12, he erased himself and escaped. For ten years, he has wandered the Hidden Nations as The Mule. A one-man guerilla force appearing at forgotten battlefields and desolate villages to deliver a brutal but honest form of justice.
But he can't remain hidden forever. Not with his power. Soon he will have to confront the world he has been hiding from. the Fourth Great Ninja War is coming. And the world he has been hiding from is about to demand he choose a side. The world he escaped and long since forsaken: the Kage, the system, the people of Iwa, is about to demand he choose between being their weapon and being free unto himself.
But The Mule has never taken orders he was never fond of. And he has no intention of doing so. Starting now.

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.

Summary
Am I so much a monster? There are things I cannot change about myself—dark histories which fester in my rotted soul, truths I would like to forget, crimes from which I dream of absolution.
She was meant to be my redeemer.
Only she could give her Angel wings.

Summary
Percy was almost done checking everyone in for the ghost tour, when a tall, blond man wearing a crop top stepped up towards him. He had a commanding presence and the sort of features you would see on a statue, and Percy just knew this was who Annabeth and Nico had been talking about earlier.
“Apollo Olympia,” the man said, a slight accent coming out. His eyes fluttered down to look at Percy’s lips. “Nice fangs,” the man smiled, flashing his own set of fangs that were, somehow, even longer than Percy’s.
Percy wondered what kind of SFX shop the man got them from.
--
Or Percy is a dhampir, just trying to get by as a waiter and tour guide in Salem, MA, when a strange tourist named Apollo shows up in his life, and suddenly Witch City is once again the center of hysteria and murder.

Summary
What if Mulder returned to England after "The Erlenmeyer Flask"? And someone decided this was the perfect time to start stalking Scully?
OR
“They’re goddamn right you should’ve told me!” His voice thundered off eighteenth-century oak beams. “You could be dead, right now!”
She made a noise like he’d slapped her. Had he really just repeated their first fight? Yes. Of course. Because Fox Mulder was a sap and a fuckup and he’d left her all alone out there, and now- “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell like that. I’m just…”
“I didn’t think you’d care.” Her voice was the size of a lethal injection needle. It threaded neatly under his skin and into his veins and sent breathless death straight into his heart.
“What?” he rasped.
“You’d moved on. Or, away. You’d moved away. You have another life at Oxford, now, Mulder. Other goals. Other priorities. I should handle these things on my own. I need to handle these things on my own.”
“...Is this why you won’t answer my emails? Is this why you screen all your calls?” -

Summary
"I can't afford the Starshyna's son fainting on my carpet." The antiquarian's smile barely moved. "It would cause me an inconvenient amount of trouble."
Another Old Blood, yet none of the crushing magic filling the shop seemed to belong to him. Either he was insignificant, or very good at hiding his power.
"How do you know who I am?"
The man left out a gentle laugh.
"Your face is rather well known among people who prefer to go unnoticed." He said, leaving the words to linger in the air for a few seconds.
"But your attempt at passing for a dock worker…That was quite entertaining."
Detective Illuga's first months in Nod Krai's Homicide Division turn out to be anything but ordinary.
A story that begins with a strange case of stolen voices soon leads to a growing number of incidents involving supernatural creatures, magical artifacts, and problems the police department was never meant to handle.
As the cases pile up across Illuga's desk, one place keeps appearing at the center of it all: a small antiquarian shop and its unsettlingly well-informed owner.

Summary
This is the lore and history for an original mythos of monster people that I am working on. There are maps, author's notes in the beginning, and a whole textbook worth of fictional history covering the creation of the world, the gods that inhabit it, the wars the people fought, the various monsterkind that inhabit it, and how it eventually comes into contact with Earth (because of course it has to), and lots of other things! It takes inspiration from a lot of different folklores and media, so click and check it out!
Note: Lore doc is finished, so this story is going to be updated every four days or so until it's done.
Latest World News: Carona breaks apart their alliance, eventually reforming as Lecardon, Lescatie, Povland, Iviris, and Costine.

Summary
Hey guys, this is like the long form of my story ULTRA SUPERNATURAL! Basically, I am combining the arc chapters of the original short-chapter fic to make them one long chapter. This is for people who enjoy reading larger/longer chapters <3
If you want to keep up with the story as it comes out, read the shorter chapters/regular fic! This one will be updated now and then once an arc is completed!!!
If an arc is too long, it will probably be split up into 2 parts.

Summary
"Everybody knows bards are famous for three things: Songs. Sex. Sorcery."
In the isolated backwater of The Vale, wandering elven bard Jessamin takes pity on Kevyn, a lonely and unloved human, taking him under her wing as an apprentice.
When he narrowly escapes death thanks to Jessamin’s dangerous, and powerful magic, Kevyn falls helplessly in love, and he dreams of the day they can leave the Vale for a life of adventure together.
But as Kevyn readies to come of age at the festival of Feyte Beltana, darkness stirs in the Vale. Magic runs wild in the land, gods rise and fall; and an ancient evil with a hunger for blood and music whispers its deadly song from the shadows.
Will Kevyn and Jessamin survive the night, or will fate lead them into the jaws of the dreaded Wolf at the Door?
