Summary
Sophia, once a cleaner on Earth, played a game with her nephew that thrust them both into Sanctuary, awakening latent Nephalem powers that forged her into a saviour amid a war between angels, demons and humans. Now immortal but haunted by guilt over those she couldn't save, she years to return to Earth, where her powers might fade, yet dreads facing her past.
Abducted by a mind flayer ship midway via returning home, she's hurled into Faerun, navigating a world of hidden dangers. Among a motley crew led by Tav, a noblewoman with a silver tongue and veiled motives, Sophia faces treachery and deception. Astarion, a vampire with a razor wit, trades barbs with her, their sparks kindling an unexpected bond.
As a dark force stirs within, Sophia's choices could save two realms - or doom them forever.Sorry to add this next part, but I've had quite a few of these on this story, and I'm not interested:

Summary
From the aftermath of the Great War to the vibrant Sixties (with a glimpse into 1995), the unforgettable story of Maria and the Captain takes on new dimensions. Two fiercely romantic and free-spirited souls forge a love that blossoms amidst historical upheaval, raising an equally romantic and free-spirited family. Think The Sound of Music intertwined with real history, the epic sweep of Judith Krantz's 'Till We Meet Again,' and a touch of my own fantasy. Prepare for laughter that warms the heart and tears that cut deep.
Genres: historical, comedy, romance, drama, tragedy, war.

The Awkwardly Inelegant Misadventures of Amaya Kedves by MehrunesDagonbro
Fandoms: Elder Scrolls, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
26 Oct 2025

Summary
When Emperors start having weird dreams about you being the Hero destined to “close shut the jaws of Oblivion” (whatever that means) and finding his long-lost bastard son, you know things are going downhill fast. Especially when you've been thrown into a world where literal gates of Hell start opening up.
Between fighting evil cultists and demon lords, running errands for peasants, dodging the law like it’s Les Misérables, and relying on help from a cast of questionable lunatics—including an inconveniently handsome Nerevarine, the old Eternal Champion (fueled by revenge and sweetrolls), a tax-evading horse, and the only Bosmer in Tamriel who can’t shoot—Amaya is barely keeping up with her quest, let alone her sanity.
All Amaya wants is to survive the next week without being disemboweled, dismembered, or getting stabbed in weird locations. Preferably in that order.
Join our deeply inelegant protagonist on an awkward adventure as she tries to stay alive long enough to save the last heir to the Septim throne. Or at least kiss him. Eventually.
And to think, all of this started because Sheogorath got bored.
Updates every other Sunday!

Summary
“Caitlyn!”
Caitlyn froze halfway across the porch. She whirled around, eyes frantically scanning the darkness at the sudden, desperate shout.
The Ford pickup had made it about a quarter of a mile down the winding dirt road, still idling with its red taillights lit up. The driver’s side door had been flung wide open.
Vi was running back to Caitlyn in a dead sprint.
Caitlyn’s blood began pounding in her ears once her heart kickstarted back to life. She raced off the porch, charging over the loose gravel of the driveway, dirt kicking up around her heels when she hit the main road.
The cheerleader kept going, legs churning, lungs burning, heart nearly ready to burst. She barely had time to brace herself for impact, mouth open as she panted from the exertion.
Vi collided with her. The force of it knocked the remaining air out of Caitlyn.
OR
Grease meets Arcane. Vi is the leader of her loyal high school gang, The Slicks. Jinx and her pals are the Blue Crew. Caitlyn is the new girl in town, just trying to find her place.

Summary
After the war, Harry Potter traded heroics for paperwork. Now he runs a quiet Ministry commission protecting magical children—dull, bureaucratic, and safely unheroic… until a newborn vanishes from St. Mungo’s and Draco Malfoy turns up, unignorable.
A story about crime, power, guilt, bureaucracy, and the kind of love you definitely shouldn’t mention to your therapist.

Summary
An immortal serial killer and her husband find themselves facing off against a Doomsday Cult. Blood pours, bones break, things get weirder and they start realizing they can't shoot and stab their way out.
********
Has a lot of horror elements but I'm going for more a brutal slasher with dark humor vibes than an actual horror story
Does have smut, especially in the first chapter, but not rape smut, it has rape tags because the antagonist is a rape cult but because there's actually gonna be full rape scenes

Summary
“Last question, Astarion. Would you ever hurt a living thing?”
Astarion stares blankly ahead, “No. Of course not. Not unless they had it coming.”
“Astarion,” the man laughs, and slides his fingers on the glass and light. “In your present build: Would you harm a living thing?”
“No.”
“Good boy,” he smiles.
Some part of Astarion appreciates the words, even as his emotional subroutines are suppressed. He is a good boy, sometimes.

Summary
This is a story about a group of broken people, simply existing together—breathing, interacting, without even forcing you to relax.
⚠️Character viewpoints only represent themselves, not the author’s stance.Most of the characters chosen for this story come from source materials that already involve severe trauma.
However, there will be no further depictions of gore or violence in this story.
And there will absolutely never be any sexual innuendos.(Off-colour jokes, if any, will be strictly adult-to-adult—and never flirty.)That said, since I tend to let characters actively explore their own trauma, there may be mentions or descriptions of past events. (Which is why I’ll include trigger tags in the notes below.)
Don’t worry, there won’t be any cross-universe romantic ships.
Some OC appear in here, but the majority of characters in this story do not belong to me.If you feel a character seems a little out of character (OOC), feel free to bring it up, and I’ll consider making adjustments.
However, if it’s only a slight difference, it might simply be due to different interpretations—after all, “There are as many Hamlets as there are readers.” -

Whose Hallucination Is That? by Saxumius

Summary
Bugs. Phermones. Hallucinations. Do these words mean anything to you? Do you have any idea what the Astral Express has been through? Do you think you could face horrible creatures whose wings flutter with invisible particles which unleash the most abject madness?
We were happy that Bronya and Seele were visiting us. Little did we know the ordeal we would carelessly drag them into. Sometimes our shared struggle would bring us closer than ever. But intimacy is something that monsters can use against you. Your loved ones can become as much of a threat as even the vastest beasts.
A sightseeing trip and drunken revelry gone awry led to this descent into a fleshy realm of grotesque creatures and sinister illusions. The whole misadventure really tests the belief that friendship and love can conquer anything.
