The Handless Maiden: An Adaptation of a Classic Folk Tale by CurtTheGamer
Fandoms: Das Mädchen ohne Hände | The Girl Without Hands (Fairy Tale), Fairy Tales & Related Fandoms
16 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
Before she even took her first breath, Abigail Graufeld was the victim of a dark curse. Raised under the shadow of a contract which her father signed long ago, Abigail grows up to be brave and full of faith, a faith that is put to the test when the Devil arrives to collect what he's owed. Now, mutilated and ostracized by her village, Abigail begins a long journey; a journey that tests her endurance, makes her question her identity, and puts her very life on the line.
Inspired by one of Grimms' darkest and most powerful tales, The Handless Maiden is a poignant story about courage and hope.

Summary
Este es el Breviario de la Nueva Era de los Portadores Celestiales (Segunda Era del Segundo Eón de la Creación). Dado que el Antiguo Breviario de la Orden Estelar fue purgado junto a la Biblioteca de la Hagia Sofia en la Cuarta Dimensión, se da el origen de este breviario a la tradición espiritual de los Siracidas, provenientes del planeta Sirac (Universo Oscuro-Cero Negativo). Gracias a Remiel Bar Shen que rescata todas estas oraciones, bendiciones y el oficio (que practicaban a diario los Siracidas antes de su exterminio); los nuevos portadores pueden avivar su fe y avanzar con nuevo ímpetu para combatir la oscuridad cósmica e interior.

【之前写的原创BL长篇，东西方神话大乱斗x变格狼人杀，搬运存档】
欢迎来到福金岛，这里远离陆地，与世隔绝，是人造的天堂，也是世间仅有的乌托邦。在这里，每个人都是被神选中的宠儿，每个人都能听到神的低语，每个人都在等待神的垂怜。
极寒之地的北风呼啸而过：“以阿萨神族的名义……”
森林深处传来鸟鸣和风笛：“愿奥林匹斯山与你同在。”
太阳下的尼罗河闪闪发亮：“为了埃及神的荣耀！”是的，从阿斯加德到奥林匹斯山，从埃及神庙到高天原，我听见神的呼唤。但那些呼唤是祝福，神谕，还是诅咒？我不确定。众神在上，我唯一能确定的是那位骑士总会走到我身边，微笑着告诉我：“别担心，亲爱的。神一定会庇佑你的。”
也许明天世界就会毁灭，也许今晚我就要掉进塔尔塔罗斯的地狱，但是没关系，神拦不住我，下一秒我还是会爱上你。
【其他】
含有乱七八糟的东西方神话二创，挺久之前写的。
总之，欢迎来到福金岛，这是一场人和人之间的游戏，也是一场神和神之间的博弈。- Language:

Kingdoms Come, Kingdoms Go by Pacific_Restless_Sleeper
Fandoms: Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types, Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Video Games)
15 Oct 2025

Summary
Rataje is haunted by a ghost of a long dead lord who died under mysterious and heartbreaking circumstances. When Geralt and Jaskier stop at the town before parting ways for the winter, Jaskier finds himself desperate to find out more about the ghost. However, everyone in town is skittish about giving the full story, so when Geralt leaves for a hunt in the nearby woods, Jaskier takes investigating the ghost of Jan Ptáček into his own hands.
Though if Jaskier isn’t careful, his bubbling bitterness about being left behind again might be heard by a kindred spirit.
Meanwhile, Geralt’s supposedly run of the mill hunt takes a dark turn when the ghost he’s hunting reveals a centuries old murder.
-
“Ah, so you like love stories, is that it?” Jaskier murmured. The presence stayed. In fact, Jaskier felt distinctly like he was being watched to his left. So much so that he actually turned his head to the side, preparing himself for the fright of finding a ghastly face looking back at him. There wasn't. “Long ago, two knights met on the field of battle in the wine-soaked fields of Toussaint..."
Knowing Kingdom Come: Deliverance isn't required to read, but basic knowledge of the Witcher is.

Summary
A full Hannibal NBC retelling/AU where Will did “stick to repairing boat motors in Louisiana.” His life in a small town is trapped in uneasy peace - until bodies begin turning up in the swamp, all killed the same way. While out on the river, he runs into one of the scenes and makes a startling discovery: he can almost see what happened and understand why the killer did it - and it terrifies him. He flees the scene, but is soon tracked down by the BAU for his involvement in the scene, forcing him to confess what he saw and become involved in the investigation or be blamed for a crime he did not commit. Doubting his story, Jack decides to have an esteemed, oddly charismatic profiler and psychiatrist from Baltimore profile Will to determine whether he is a suspect or an asset. As Will speaks with the Doctor and grows closer to him, he begins to doubt his own memory and innocence, and it seems that whether he's found guilty or not he will never return to any sort of peaceful life again.
CW: Violence typical of Hannibal, though I avoid overly detailed descriptions. Mentions/themes of anxiety/depression and suicidal thoughts from !depressedwill, themes of manipulation/control. Slowburn because Will hates Lecter's guts.

Asasefu Lore and History by olatheii

Summary
Usually by now I would have some grand new story to share, but this year has been more of an audit on my past works, adding music to everything, and doing little things that make the reading experience for the Casual Collection that much more engaging.
After that was finished, I was looking towards what to write next. I got a lot of ideas, but one thing that stuck out was how "Casual" everything was. I think that doing all that editing made me outgrow the series as it currently stands, and now I want to try something with a more original world. I still want to use the same characters and keep the same lore, though, so it's a fun challenge to figure out how to manage both.
This led to the formalization of Asasefu as a world, and thus, this work focuses on the lore and history of the world, from its creation to its connection to Earth and other dimensions. I sprinkle in my own thoughts in the beginning as well.

There was an idea to participate in kinktober, but not just like that, but to link Katawa shoujo here. I didn't find the current list, so I made my own. If the chapters stopped coming out, then I was most likely taken to the army.

Summary
“I don’t believe in reincarnation,” Rebecca says. Her ovaries say otherwise.
In which:
A hot, brooding serpent demigoddess bites first, asks questions never.
Rebecca's uterus becomes ground zero for a mystical baby the universe forgot to warn her about.
Ancient magic and modern Bangkok collide in a tropical fever dream of fate, sex, and drama wrapped in divinity.
Soulmates are real, the jungle is sentient, and Sarocha's fang marks are not just kink trophies.
Rebecca thought she was just digging for artifacts in Thailand.
Now she’s mated, magical, and a catalyst for cosmic rebirth.
There is no chill. Only yearning.

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.
