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
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?

WARNING! This is NOT a light read (and I don't mean the blood).

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.

Summary
One bright night a novice monk fishes up a glowing boy from the bottomless mist sea, but he's certain they've met before.
When Zoter's Wall is bombarded by airships of the Ennealogyk Church, Beleph becomes the last surviving spear-monk of his monastery. Bound by his abbot's dying command, he flees into the dark pines of the mainland with a bizarre captive: a boy with strange eyes who happens to be a newly reborn god. The far-reaching church hunts them relentlessly, eager to capture the glowing god-boy and usher in an awaited metaphysical doomsday called the Last Nights.
There’s no sun, day or liquid ocean. It’s always night and light is provided by the world's three moons. The world sea is a vertical abyss of mist that’s said to be bottomless. 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 her.
Wild Boy will gain abilities analogous to cherished video game tropes, (like the double jump). Mist Devil devours powerful enemies and collects them like a Blue Mage. All buried under worldbuilding.

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
There is a version of this story where they never meet.
In that version, the wolf stays at the tree line. The girl in the forest finds her own way out of the dark. Two people who were written for each other pass through the same small town and feel nothing, and the world continues as it was.
This is not that version.
Y/n Sinclair arrives at Nevermore mid-semester with a sealed file, a Beta who walks like a secret, and three black rings tattooed around his arm that are not decorative. Wednesday Addams arrives at Nevermore and is already pulling at the threads of Jericho's rot - and the moment he steps through the door, the warmth at the back of her neck does not go away.
It doesn't go away for him either.

Summary
Vash had always looked his best at dawn, in the pale morning light that enveloped him like a halo. And now, as his coffin lowered into the ground, it was a sight that Nicholas would never see again. Or so he thought until he saw Vash at the funeral.
No, not Vash but his twin brother, Nai.
