Summary
In the modern city of Wisburg, Germany, 29-year-old Ellen Attenberger lives a seemingly ordinary middle-class life, working as a dentist in the nicer part of town. Plagued by a restless anxiety and boredom, she feels disconnected from a deeper, forgotten part of herself.
Everything changes one Friday night in April, when her dormant psychic connection to a mysterious Romanian figure whose presence feels disturbingly familiar, suddenly reawakens.
Their unexpected reunion reignites a deep and unsettling bond—but it also brings with it forces neither of them fully understands, and obstacles that threaten to consume whatever fragile connection is growing between them.

Summary
They both knew it was goodbye that night in Suchdol. Henry had saved them all, though the one person he could not save was himself.
Hans Capon tried to move on. He had buried his secret lover with his own two hands, though the grave in Skalitz defied all notions of logic. Flowers never withered. Candles placed on that soil never burned down.
Stranger still, a curse had befallen Rattay. A never ending rain and unexplainable happenings leaving townsfolk missing, dead or changed. When Heinrich befriended a raven with an uncanny intelligence and a penchant for showing up at the worst of times - what more could he see but an omen of death?

Summary
Louis de Pointe du Lac has spent nearly eighty years moving through the modern world—immortal, experienced, and still haunted by New Orleans. When fate drags him back home, it’s supposed to be simple: a final sacrament for what’s left of his mortal bloodline.
It doesn’t stay simple.
Old magic stirs in familiar streets, the past sharpens into a confrontation with Armand, and—because New Orleans never allows quiet endings—Lestat chooses Mardi Gras to stage a massive concert that turns the city into a glittering fever dream of music and temptation.
But beneath the beads, brass bands, and celebration, something darker is taking root: a vampire cult with an ancient connection, recruiting in the shadows and shifting the city’s supernatural balance.
Louis is pulled into the hunt not because he wants to be… but because the threat is real, the history is personal, and no one knows New Orleans—its churches, cemeteries, alleys, and secrets—better than Louis de Pointe du Lac.

Summary
Don't read this if you dont want to cry.
In a secluded village governed by iron-fisted faith, Taeyang Choi lives as a prisoner of her own "virtue," groomed for a life of silent submission. Her world is upended by the arrival of Keeho, a defiant traveling singer whose songs whisper of a freedom that the village pulpit calls heresy. As a forbidden connection sparks between them, Taeyang must decide if she will remain a silent martyr to her father’s religion or risk a devastating path to find the light—even if the cost is the very world she knows.

Where Water Learns Flame by WinterborneArchivist

Summary
A ghost from the Northern ice, Korora was raised in the hearth of the enemy, a war-prize turned shadow, surviving on the sharp utility of her silence. Now, she stands at the right hand of Fire Lord Zuko: the cool water held against his fevered rule. In a court built on lineage and smoke, she is a quiet sacrilege, too useful to exile, too dangerous to touch.
Between the crushing weight of the crown and the ghosts of an old exile, they have built a sanctuary of reports and tea, of restrained touches and shared silence. But inside the suffocating heat of the Royal Caldera, the distance between ruler and advisor is beginning to collapse. Behind closed doors, amidst the scent of cedar and cooling ink, neither is brave enough to name the hunger that has lived too long in the dark, and neither is strong enough to keep it there.
I mostly wrote this because I had to weave Korora into the ATLA universe and the idea would not leave me alone. I’m still finding the shape of the story, so canon may be followed, bent, or quietly set on fire.

Wings of Quiet Longing by agoodtuckering for CodexArcene, Noodle_Mama, therivercrow, shaken_n0t_stirred

Summary
In the gloomy streets of Victorian London, a vampire is moonlighting as a vigilante. They seem to be protecting the innocent and punishing the corrupt under the cover of night. But why, and what is it all for?
This is a story of two vampires, former lovers, and the one that was sired. Welcome in Lord Alistair MacKay, the sole owner of Dorcha Castle and a writer and artist in his spare time, his former lover who goes by the name of Fenella, and the one and only man Alistair ever turned, Duncan. The latter is ruthless, and so they bid him farewell a half-century ago, but he’s decided to return. Again, the only question worth asking is why?
(In essence, this tale is a Gothic & Paranormal Romance. I don't make the rules, Romantasy is good for the soul. This is just something Hammer Horror-esque that I decided to write for spooky season and beyond. Alistair and Fenella were inspired by Twelve/Missy AKA Twissy and Peter Capaldi/Michelle Gomez, and Caden was inspired by Crowley and David Tennant.
This is also Part 1 of the "Bloodound Legacy" Series.)

Summary
Thomas Shelby always relied heavily on women. With Lizzie and Charlie gone, he kept Arrow House like a mausoleum. He deserved the reminders. Grace flitted from room to room in the corners of his vision. Polly’s heals scarred every floor like she might’ve been there only moments ago. Ruby had sat cross-legged in every chair. He refused to let them go. All he had left were maids and ghosts.
Josephine had nothing belonging to her but misfortune and a longing for something more. From the fringes of society, she takes a job with the Shelby’s. Riddled with jealously and haunted by visions, she finds unexpected work in Thomas.

Summary
Когда-то Астарион принадлежал самому себе — настолько, насколько человек вообще может принадлежать себе в этом мире. Потом его почти убили. Вместо смерти ему предложили иную участь: вечность, купленную ценой, которой он тогда ещё не понимал. Он согласился. Всё, что последовало за этим, происходило не сразу, а медленно, почти незаметно. Сначала меняются жесты. Потом — тело. Потом — сама воля. Некоторые утраты не совершаются в один миг: их не вырывают с кровью, не объявляют вслух. Они просто становятся ненужными, потому что ими слишком долго не дают пользоваться. Красный Замок не ломает. Красный Замок учит. Он приучает к страху, к повиновению, к чужой власти над каждой мыслью и каждым движением. И однажды оказывается, что к отсутствию свободы тоже можно привыкнуть.

Summary
A Stitch in Time is a slow burn Holmes x OC romance threaded through with family drama, casefic mystery, and a creeping, almost fairy tale sense that something older is waking in the shadows of London. It follows a consulting detective who does not believe in magic, a woman who refuses to be only a victim or a muse, and the Holmes family as they learn that protecting one small, stubborn heart may be the most complicated case they will ever take. (This does not follow the Enola Holmes or Sherlock Holmes stories but does reference them. In a very loose way is similar to ‘Cheating Men Must Die’/Pataphysics world hopping.)
(Sherlock/Enola Victorian World)
Act 1 FIN (1-117)I’m making an effort to tag the chapters ahead of time/going forward so if there is an issue that could be triggering you’d know and can skip.
All art I’ve included will be on another ‘works’ instead of trying to attach it here. That way I can just update them as I finish drawing them.
I am rewriting the end of act two so this is now a WIP but I think it will be better than what I’ve currently written/was going to post. I apologize to those that are reading this fic. Thank you for being patient with me.
