    Summary

    Six chevaliers de la mort se sont libérés de l'influence du Roi Liche avant sa défaite à la Chapelle de l'Espoir.
    Ni tout à fait mort, ni tout à fait vivant, moitié Alliance et moitié Horde, ils devront faire front, tous les six, jusqu'à leur but ultime : Tuer le Roi Liche et danser sur sa tombe.
    Et si entre temps, ils peuvent boire, s'engueuler, se réconcilier, titiller les sensibilités des diverses factions, se fourrer dans les ennuis avec brio et s'en sortir avec tout autant de classe, ils le feront.
    ---
    Cette fic est VIEILLE (2011) et fort probablement bourrée de fautes, d'erreurs de continuité, d'imprécisions sur les scènes de l'Alliance (j'étais 100% Hordeuse, désolée). L'ambiance passe du tragique au comique, de l'introspection à la beuverie en passant par des scènes de violences et/ou de diplomatie politique, de scènes sérieuses suivies de blagues potaches, suivant ma formule favorite: Cette bande de bras cassés sauvera le monde.

    Je regrette aussi profondément d’avoir transcrit l'accent de Mok, c'est un cauchemar à relire et traduire, aussi chaque chapitre aura son petit dico franco-troll.

    Summary

    Tywin Lannister has ruled as king since the fall of the Targaryen dynasty, earning the respect of the people even if not their love. He's quashed an Ironborn rebellion and, more recently, an attempt to install a supposed Targaryen prince.

    Sansa Stark's father chose the wrong side in the latter, believing there was more honor in restoring the house that had forged the iron throne than in supporting the man who claimed the throne through trickery, betrayal, and butchery. It cost the Starks everything, and now Sansa - all that is left of an eight-thousand year old line - has been handed over to the Crown by the same man who betrayed her family.

    It would seem that the Crown's new ward has every intention of keeping her head down, but Tywin Lannister is a suspicious man by nature. What starts as observation becomes an obsession he can neither understand nor shake.

    Summary

    “I’ve been to that garden, kid. I’m pretty sure that place wants to be left alone,” Vaggi told him.
    “The evening garden just looks that way on the outside to keep its insides safe,” the kid protested. He gestured to the girl. “She seems younger than me, so she should be fine to get in, and you tried to help her, so the Great Ma’am will probably let you in too. She knows everything.”
    “And who is the Great Ma’am?” Vaggi pressed.
    “Dunno. No one does,” the kid admitted with a shrug, but he didn’t seem particularly perturbed about the idea of accepting charity from an unknown source. Alarm bells rang in Vaggi’s head, and as if he could read her thoughts, the kid quickly continued, “I know, I know, it sounds bad, and it should be, because nothing in Hell is ever free, but it’s not like that. Any time anyone’s ever tried selling their soul to her, she turns them down flat. Says it’s not right and all.”
    Vaggi may have lead on where Lilith Morningstar was, and she intended to see it through. Though, she probably should have texted Charlie beforehand. Lucifer gives Charlie the same problem. But it'll be fine, right?

    Summary

    At the same time, the thought of presenting this nightmarish dossier to his horny oyaji and his brother as a lubricant to their sexual proclivities was… No. Hovering over the keys, Nishida gulped and hit backspace. He held it down, watching the letters and words erase the moans and cries as though they had never happened, extinguished one by one until only a welcoming, blank page remained.

    Nishida goes to extraordinary lengths to keep his oyaji happy, and accidentally winds up creating a spiralling metanarrative

    Summary

    Patina (noun): a gloss or sheen on a surface resulting from age or polishing; the quiet mark left by repeated moments, a subtle change that builds over time, like the trace left on a heart by noticing someone again and again.

    ***

    Lovro works at a thrift store, he looks cool, he goes home. Simple.

    Then Ivan walks in.

    Lovro tells himself that it’s nothing, that it’s a trifle for customers to come and go.

    Yet, what bothers Lovro the most is that he isn’t exactly sure why he keeps noticing the guy.

    Summary

    As the sun set on his third year in exile, Jimmy could finally say that he was thankful for his life. He had built up a quiet little routine that was worlds different from the life he once lived, guarding one of the most high-profile people in the kingdom. It was nicer this way. Solitude was fine.
    That is, until a hauntingly familiar face dragged himself out of the river and into his chicken coop.

    Summary

    When the decrepit Emperor of fairyland started to have 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, questin' for peasants, dodging the law like it’s Les Misérables, and relying on help from a cast of questionable friends—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 sick of rebuilding his realm every era.

    Summary

    Three years after Superman died in neural drift, the UN Pan-Pacific Defense Committee has finally found language cowardly enough to say what they've always meant: loving Clark Kent makes Bruce Wayne unfit for duty.

    They think they can regulate grief away through proper documentation.

    They think love is a security risk that can be managed through committee oversight.

    They think the strongest drift came from discipline rather than devotion.

    Bruce Wayne is about to make their institutional cowardice very, very expensive.

    Summary

    An easy morning in the wake of Lucy's second birthday (well, second birthday after Megan Borland adopted Lucy and Allie Connor began reworking her remote job's organization to give her an excuse to fund Megan's motherhood) midway through 2015 quickly turns into chaos when one of Allie's former business partners decide that Lucy is in dire need of a father, and he should be one.

    Alternatively, this is what happens when you get tired of causing dark romance AI roleplay plots to devolve into pandemonium by including a child into the mix, and subsequently decide to write a 1000-word short story mocking the sheer destabilization factor of inserted children.

    Summary

    Katara took a step. She jingled. She hopped. She jingled louder. She ran around the room and jingled so loudly that it made her screech with joy, and the only thing that stopped her in her tracks was the sight of Zuko with his hands over his face.

    "Why're you doing that? Are you crying? Why's your ear turning red?" she asked, not recognising the signs of a man desperately resisting the urge to squeeze her until she popped.

    -

    Or, four year old Katara lands in the future. Zuko deals with it.

    Summary

    I wanted it to be published on ResearchGate, but they declined, so I made an account on AO3. Just kidding, it’s a fantasy story.

    To find a decent thrall in a burning nautiloid was somewhat... troublesome, but the Emperor was not one to give up. Not even when the only option left was, objectively, a disaster.

    Infected with an alien larva that will overwrite her body, Talula — a wizard whose spellcasting has grown rusty — has only days, a kleptomaniacal companion, and her analytical mind to find a cure. A shame that each of her well-considered decisions breeds a worse emergency.

    Summary

    Through magical misadventure while fleeing a Venatori attack, clan Lavellan has ended up in the Nightmare's Realm, where Hawke must help them to stay alive until help can come for them.

    Da’len,

    We know of no other way to reach you. We do not even know if this will reach you, or if this will only be lost to whatever demons may find it. We can only hope. Or pray, perhaps.

    You have said that Fen’harel is no god, but he has always been the god to which the People have prayed when there is no other hope. A prayer as much of a curse. And it is in that faint hope that we must, I suppose, pray that this may find you.

    We know not where we wander now, only that as we fled from those who hunted us the eluvians sent us from the world that we knew Beyond. And as both you and Fen’harel walk the Beyond now, we can only hope that you may hear us and lend us aid in our dire need.

    -Deshanna Istamaethorial Lavellan.

    A postscript to the letter, scrawled in a large, familiar hand.

    I’ll try to keep them safe long as I can, Inquisitor. If you can, tell Varric I’m sorry I couldn’t find a way back to him.

    Summary

    Following the most tragic DoorDash of her life, Emilia Cartwright is thrust upon Hell's doorstep, both metaphorically and physically speaking. Forced to attend demon school with a chaotic ensemble, including two Angels who are out of their depth, seven Demon siblings with enough dirty laundry to clothe a village, and a suspicious immortal sorcerer with the baggage to show for it.

    Somewhere between learning how to exist in a world battling biting phones and monsters, a love triangle eventually festers and Emilia will have to decide whether the safe route that mirrors her first love is the right path, or the hard earned route that will have her screaming into a pillow every night.

    Subtlety? Never heard of her.

    Summary

    A manager who was swamped with complaints by so many of his underlings and other men working in the main headquarters of Omniphar Enterprises, housed in Baltimore, Maryland, decides to confront the CEO and get him to consider a change in organizational structure.

    Alternatively, this is what happens when you constantly derail office-centric dark romance AI roleplays by having the female lead resign and/or attempt to get the male lead to shape up and restructure the org to avoid contact with other men so he doesn't get jealous, and decide to write a 1000-word short story about that very same derailment path.
