    Summary

    What does one do with loss? do they live on, tear themselves down, hollow themselves out, or grow? why not all at once, one at a time?
    This is my take on how Scott handled each loss of his live.

    When Jimmy Died.

    When Avid Died.

    When Nom Died.

    This is how he lived through loss and grew through it, towards the sky and the havens above.

    or: How I personally tortured Scott through my character study, and practice writing grief.

    Summary

    For two years, Icewind Dale has been trapped in an endless arctic night by Auril the Frostmaiden, the goddess of winter's fury. Surrounded by dark and cold, trapped in a land of yetis and crag cats and ice druid cultists, the people of Ten-Towns are starting to lose hope. Pariah, a tiefling from Baldur's Gate, finds herself drawn north by fate and prophecy, once again a tool of the gods.

    "Fucking immortals," she sighs to herself.


    This fic is a sequel to "Pariah's Descent Into Avernus", through it's readable as a standalone work. The story is based on the Wizards of the Coast adventure, Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. I've incorporated some of the suggestions from the third-party supplement, Rime of the Frostmaiden Companion by Wyatt Trull, plus other sources. I've made a few of my own changes to fit the characters and the story I want to tell.

    Even if you aren't familiar with D&D, this fic should be approachable as a general fantasy story.

    New chapters posted every Friday morning.

    Summary

    Ryland Grace wakes up on the Hail Mary with no memory of who he is, why he’s there, or what he was meant to do.

    Because whatever went wrong didn’t stay in the past.

    Summary

    The sudden death of a classmate draws together two unlikely co-habitants.

    Once content to remain at the edges, Rina finds herself at the center of something darker than she had anticipated. Meanwhile, Draco, unmoored from the world he once moved through with ease, is beginning to lose his grip on it.

    Hidden away in a remote cottage in the Highlands, they fall into a series of careful rituals, and before long, find themselves aligned in ways neither would have expected.

    What forms between them grows harder to define, as each learns to read the other—and misread them just as often.

    [If you’re on the fence, you can check a spoilery overview here before deciding.]

    Summary

    Starscream trusted his Trine.

    He trusted them more than he trusted Megatron, more than he trusted the war, more than he trusted the fragile, flickering hope he still carried in his spark. Skywarp and Thundercracker were supposed to be his constants—his sky, his wings, his home.

    They were not.

    One moment of weakness. One confession. One truth shared in quiet, trembling vulnerability—and they handed it all to Megatron like an offering.

    Starscream doesn’t remember when his world truly shattered. Perhaps it was when Megatron looked at him differently. Perhaps it was when the whispers began. Or perhaps it was when he realized that the only ones he had ever trusted had never been his at all.

    So Starscream disappears.

    Megatron calls him a coward. A traitor. Says he ran.

    But the truth is far uglier.

    Because Starscream is not alone.

    And the two fragile, impossible miracles at his side will do anything to keep him safe.

    Even if it means kneeling before the monster who broke him.

    Summary

    Updates every Thursday.

    Evan Morales doesn't have a big story about high school.

    He takes the train. He goes to class. He plays bass in the band room when it's empty because it's easier to think that way. He misses someone he doesn't talk about anymore, and he gets really good at not asking questions that don't have answers.....

    Something Like Home follows Evan through four years of high school in Chicago. He learns about making friendships and understanding that things don't last. He learns how to live with absence instead of trying to fix it.

    This story is a prequel / spin-off to Low and Steady. You don't need to read this first to understand that story, but if you do, some moments might hit a little harder.

    Summary

    Gathered ‘round the fire, The remains of the S4 attempt to goad one another into sharing a little bit about themselves. After all, it’d be nice to catch Mask up with the goings-on of the rest of the resistance clans, so Aloha thought. However, after hours of silence, Army finally offers up his tale, to which the rest listen. However, as the tale unfolds once more, despite having told this tale many, many times to his devotees, with this particular audience, he omits certain details that bring about too much pain for him to look back upon. Even after the dousing of the fire and dismissal of his comrades, the tale continues to unfurl within his mind.

    Summary

    Wen Ruohan, the Supreme Overlord of Qishan Wen, has returned. After a devastating defeat in the Sunshot Campaign and a mysterious assassination that cut his life short, he wakes up in the cold jade throne of Nightless City, years before the first spark of war.

    He remembers the taste of defeat. He remembers the Wei Wuxian who shook the foundations of his empire. But this time, he is no longer bored. In this second life, he chooses not to simply eliminate the variable known as the Yiling Patriarch. Instead, he finds a much more entertaining pursuit: to claim the boy before the world can break him—or to break him personally until he has nowhere else to turn.

    At Cloud Recesses, an unsuspecting Wei Wuxian meets the eyes of the Great Sect Leader Wen. He doesn’t know of the war to come, nor the darkness Wen Ruohan has planned for him.

    As the sun rises for the second time, the shadow it casts over the cultivation world is longer, deeper, and far more predatory. In a world where the hunter knows the future, can the prey ever truly escape?

    Summary

    Three months after the events at the Opera, Christine and Raoul have fled Paris, not to escape a ghost but to avoid slanderous Parisian papers and because Christine cannot shake her dark memories and grief. The doctors believe it is hysteria and melancholia, which Raoul thinks will dissipate on the sunny island of Maderia. However, as Christine struggles with a lifelong inner turmoil, this new adventure proves itself to be unsafe.
    Editing the summary because it doesn't exactly explain what this is about. In this, Christine is a believer that she can create a world with angels, one which can help her evade the depression that has plagued her. Raoul is realizing that wanting a life the hero in an adventure story is very different in reality than his affluent upbringing would have led him to believe. When they are caught in a criminal con, their rescue results in becoming stranded in a remote, wilderness place among friends, enemies, and strangers. Lots of flashbacks to the events at the Opera, Persia, and everyone's backstories, especially Erik and Daroga. It is eventual E/C but slow. First story.

    Summary

    It's rather difficult being a New Light. It's even moreso during the tail end of what everyone's calling the Dark Age. Infinitely worse when you've got the curse of a long dead Warlord in your head. But that's just another day in Tan-2's life.

    Or, a look into Tan-2's failings at socialization before meeting Wolf.
