    ⚠️ Explicit M/M | Dark Fantasy | Canon Divergence

    Every ten days, Jinu bleeds for his demon king.

    400 years ago, he made a contract with Gwi-ma. Now, in 2025, he and four other bound souls form Saja Boys—a K-Pop idol group designed to destroy HUNTR/X.

    But the price of forgetting may be higher than Jinu knows.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    Tomorrow, their debut.
    Tonight, the night of Imprint.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Set in the K-Pop Demon Hunters universe. Canon divergence—same events, different perspective.

    Summary

    The story about a novice spear-monk who burns his own thumb while staring at a pretty boy.

    + Inspirations:
    Final Fantasy; Last Exile; Journey to the West

    + Themes:
    Power dynamics in romance; the importance of names; found family and brotherhood; inverted tropes; cosmic and
    biological horror; progression systems; theological domination

    + Alternative World:
    There’s no sun or day, or liquid ocean. It’s always night and light is provided by the stars and three moons. The world sea is a vertical abyss of mist that’s said to be bottomless. The mists surround nine island continents and can be traversed with technology.

    + Alternative society:
    Society is entirely male, and men live together in cities and the wild. The men are ruled by the world’s sole female, whose voice literally can't be disobeyed and whose eyes constantly edit the world around them.

    +Subtle gamified progression:
    Wild Boy protagonist will gain abilities analogous to cherished video game tropes, (like the double jump). Mist Devil protagonist devours powerful enemies and collects them like a Blue Mage. All buried under worldbuilding.

    Summary

    The story of two terminally horny morons whose only understanding of intimacy comes from violent metaphors they took literally. Together they are on a mission to traumatize each other as much as possible until they get their shit together or die trying.

    I remembered Harold's barely disguised horror at my description of a flesh-eating monster, that disgust still unaccounted for with all my new understanding of him. I remembered the wide circle of blood in the alley, the red that dyed the cobblestones. Oh, I had her now.

    "It's got nothing to do with dignity," I said. "You're just afraid you'll eat me again."

    Her eyes went wide and her hands slackened for just long enough for me to pull the knife from my bag and drag it across her throat.

    Summary

    He lived his life through three different rules: do not stray from the paths you have walked before, do not follow voices after dusk, and above all; ignore the howls in the woods. This last rule had come to him not as a thought, but as a memory he did not remember earning.

    Summary

    London, 1996.

    Elizabeth Potter — the Girl Who Lived — has loved only one man.

    She loved him once, centuries ago, as Elisabeta.
    She loves him still, in this life, as Elizabeth.

    Haunted by visions of a man she has never met — and yet has always known — Elizabeth never wavers. While others fall in and out of love, her heart has always belonged to Vlad.

    In 1880, he waits — bound to memory, yearning, and a love that never died.

    When she uncovers the truth behind her visions, destiny snaps into focus: Vlad. Dracula. The vampire feared across the wizarding world… and the only love her soul recognizes.

    Across centuries, death, and time itself, Elizabeth refuses to accept a world without him. Love becomes obsession. Longing becomes action.

    And when fate finally allows them to find each other again, separation is no longer an option.

    Summary

    Before he guided followers along the Moonpath through Shadow-Cursed Lands, he was a lonesome creature. Before the Absolute claimed what Lolth had broken, he was a boy with golden eyes and a lyre that could make his mind bloom. This is the story of Kar'niss Und'Zaknath's becoming.

    It is not the story he would tell, but grim fairytales seldom are—and the bards of fate seldom consult the creatures they narrate.

    “This is a tale as dark as night,
    three tiers spell a pale boy’s plight.
    As the bards of fate foretold,
    the fall begins with eyes of gold.”

    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?

    Ethan Winters, broken by the Mold and convinced he is no longer human, has become the Beast of legend.

    But fate has other plans. A young woman with a heart too pure for the shadows is drawn to the forest, and two men stand between her and the castle—one who hunts monsters, and one who has become one.

    Summary

    “It’s true, Dana,” Mrs Mulder said, finally, when Dana remained silent. “You’re coming to live with us for a while. This way, your mother can focus on helping your little brother. And your father can beaver away at his work on the new base. It will be no trouble at all to us. We have plenty of space. You will have your own room, very private, with a lock on the door and everything. It’ll be safer for you. And good for Fox. He needs to be challenged.”

     

    Dana had no disagreements with Mrs Mulder on that score, but she rather doubted the long-term effectiveness of the strategy being proposed. Again, she glanced around the room. “But, Mrs Mulder, your son hates me.”

    OR

    What if when Charlie got rheumatic fever, the Scully family happened to live on the Vineyard? And also, it were 1943 -- the year a secret Navy base appeared on the Vineyard, and multiple test pilots disappeared?

    🕯️ Polished AO3 Summary – Angelique Speaks

    Welcome to Angelique: Beyond the Shadows — a Dark Shadows fanfiction.

    This is the untold story of Angelique.
    Inspired by the original series, I seek to explore her past, to uncover the innocent girl who became the shape-shifter, the sorceress, the woman you loved to hate.

    My goal is to humanize Angelique — to move beyond the betrayal and jealousy, and reveal a soul forged by love, loss, and the brutal cost of survival.

    Through this narrative, I invite you to see her as I see her.

    I am Angelique.
    I am a witch.
    And this… is my truth.

    Summary

    Twenty years in the bell tower taught Quasimodo that monsters don't get happy endings. Then Esmeralda wiped the garbage from his face, and everything he knew became a lie. or how the 'Monster' gets the Romani Booty this time around.

    My take on the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Its a slight AU because I made slight changes to some of the characters and also Quasimodo gets the girl in the end. Expect a lot of Hot Lewds.

    Summary

    To the world, Bellatrix Lestrange died at Hogwarts.

    To the Ministry, she is a secret prisoner of Azkaban, her mind a fortress no one can breach.

    Minister Hermione Granger swore she would succeed where others failed. But facing Bellatrix again means more than interrogations and Occlumency. Each clash of magic and will draws them closer—two witches bound by scars, mirrors of one another across the divide of chains and duty.

    What begins as a battle for truth threatens to become something far more dangerous: a battle for each other.

    Summary

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that a pirate in possession of a hook must be in want of a reader.

    For years Lyra believed her ability to slip into the pages of her favorite novels was merely a quirk of lucid dreaming — tea with her best friend Lizzy Bennet while avoiding the insufferable Darcy. But whimsy died the night she fell into a sewer in Derry. An encounter with Pennywise left more than just mental scars; it left a chilling physical truth: the stories are real, and they can bite.

    When Lyra wakes on the deck of the Jolly Roger, she expects another brief visit. She didn't expect the alarmingly attractive James Hook, a man who knows her name at first sight through a haunting pull he can't explain and a slow-burn attraction takes root.

    But a shadow has followed her. She brings a darkness even Neverland cannot comprehend. Between the boy who won't grow up and a jester who salts people with fear, the story may be about to end. Hook finds himself facing a cosmic horror beyond his comprehension. To survive the jester in the mist, the villain and the reader and some other "fictional" friends must see if they can find a new ending or if the story will finally consume them.
