Summary
“You’ve heard of the coven along the coast? Call themselves Stray Kids. Their leader, Bang Chan, has petitioned us for permission to perform a leyline renewal along the eastern cliffs. Their number was eight—”
Minho’s jaw tightened. “And now it’s seven.”
“Precisely. They require another witch to complete the circle.”
He knew them, of course—every witch did. The Council’s prodigies turned pariahs: powerful, unpredictable, inconvenient. Years ago, one of them had vanished mid-ritual, and the story had travelled through covens on whispered breath. Dark magic, betrayal, maybe both. Since then, the Stray Kids had lived like ghosts—present on parchment, absent everywhere else.
Not a mission he wanted. But refusal wasn’t a privilege he owned.
“You’ll observe the ritual,” continued the High Warden, “ensure compliance, and report any deviation from approved sigilwork.”
He inclined his head. “Understood.”
OR
Minho was sent to oversee a routine ritual. Observe and report, those were his orders.
Instead, he uncovers a rebellion, a past written in dark magic, and a place he never meant to belong.

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.

Summary
As he races down the cliffs to the beach, he feels something soft and uneven underfoot. Link pulls his skimmer away to find a mouse lying on the path, dead. He stoops to take a closer look at it. Blood has spurt from its mouth, though he’s not sure if he’s the cause honestly. It strikes him that he may have killed the small rodent, but he doesn’t think much on that.
No, that’s not the odd part of it. Of course there are field mice and rats on the island, but the rodents are never this close to shore, and they certainly keep out of the open where men are known to frequent, the skittish things that they are. The likelihood, essentially, of him running across a live and healthy mouse is slim.
When he comes to the shore, the captain is sitting in his waka ama’s main hull, staring out into the ocean. Seeing him approach, Tetra quickly wipes her eyes and nose, her cheeks a dark, rosy color. Her strange purple eyes are swollen and puffy. The shattered expression on her face is so different from her usual confident, steely air.

Summary
When a magicless girl falls through the Mirror of Darkness into Disney Twisted-Wonderland, she discovers Night Raven College is built on more than villain legacies and old rules. Beneath the school runs a pattern of buried overblots, sealed histories, and a resonance no one was meant to trace.
Sixty-three years ago, another outsider came through the mirror and stopped a catastrophe the school tried to erase.
Now the pattern is building again.
And Riddle Rosehearts is at its center.
As Voss Calloway pieces together forgotten archives, magical theory, and the dangerous intimacy of being seen too clearly, she begins to suspect she was not brought to this world to study its magic.
She was brought here because something is about to break.
And she may be the trigger.

The Rite of the Patchwork Butterfly by Larkin (TriniteVincere), TriniteVincere

Summary
"They do not tell you that when you sign away your soul, the ink doesn't stay on the page. It enters the marrow. It turns the heartbeat into a metronome for a song you didn't write."
In 1204, the Library of the Forgotten burned, and a King was reduced to a gilded thrall.
In 1997, Trinité Vincere—Parisian academic and darkwave prodigy—believes he is the architect of his own masterpiece. He thinks the Goth scene of Chicago is just a playground for beautiful, dramatic mortals. He is wrong.
From the ash of the Fourth Crusade to the neon decay of 90s Montreal and New York, this is a thirty-year chronicle of a stolen legacy. It is the story of a philosopher flayed into a clanless Pander, a disastrous performance of Venin, the dissolution of the Sabbat, and the catastrophe of loving a Black Hand Dominion who has turned emotional unavailability into a martial art.
The blood doesn’t lie. It just waits for the music to stop.

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.
