Summary
"I did warn him of our visit, but I should warn that I don't think he likes me much." MR-SN said awkwardly as they made it to the front door. "He cared for you very much though."
VR-LA felt like something there was missing. "Had you upset him at some point?"
"I'd hope not! No, no, I just think he isn't a fan of strangers." Isn't VR-LA basically going to be a stranger now? Like he is to MR-SN or K-LB. "Would you like to be the one to knock?"
-
MR-SN takes VR-LA on an outing outside the castle, to show VR-LA some places that used to be his favorite, including Maxim's lab, where VR-LA receives Docent yet again.
Within my royalty au with unprofessionals and memory loss! -

Summary
Maxim has to wash a stupid tiny dragon that got itself covered in flour like a fool.
Later, Maxim learns the little intruder that has become a pet of sorts is actually a full on human.
-
An au from the discord! Cursed prince VR-LA (turns into a teeny tiny dragon with absolutely no thoughts during the day, but appears as an almost ethereal prince when in moonlight) and disguised dragon Maxim (constantly resisting anything related to being a dragon, desiring to be just seen as a human mage). Maxim deserves a huge tower that goes deep underground into a cave system beneath. -

Summary
I decided to do something for one of my older AUs from the discord! Potion seller Maxim and secret prince VR-LA, whose learning from him! Not that the secret prince thing comes up here much, so that goes untagged. I do a lot of weird potion worldbuilding for this AU, inspired by how DND spell components are puns!
VR-LA watches Maxim make a potion and they have a pleasant discussion! -

Summary
Maxim and VR-LA go on a walk through the courtyard, investigating a curious bug.
-
A bit of the knight VR-LA and King Maxim au, like I discussed a bit on Tumblr! -
Tags
Summary
VR-LA tells Maxim a story that feels just a little too familiar.
-
I got inspired by Cal's knight Maxim/prince VR-LA. Oops. And also by my own Tumblr writings that are also probably inspired by them or a discussion from the discord, I don't remember. -

Summary
For one of the many lives from my Tumblr au: Immortal VR-LA and Reincarnating Maxim! This particular life isn't on Tumblr at all, so you don't have to know the lore. This is just fluff of them in their daily life at some point after VR-LA communicates the situation.

Summary
On the anniversary of the passing if somebody VR-LA once cared for very much, VR-LA receives an unexpected comfort.
Series
- Part 3 of Housecoat Roommates

Summary
VR-LA and Maxim, after suddenly having to switch hotel rooms due to an issue with the first one, are stuck with a room with only one bed. A massive bed, and a very nice room, but still only one bed.
-
There's never been a "there was only one bed" fic in this fandom, to my knowledge. I decided to remedy this. This is in the universe of my "Crack Maid Cafe AU" from Tumblr, but that's not relevant because the maid cafe goes unmentioned, you only need to know VR-LA and Maxim are roommates and Maxim is suffering eternally with feelings. They're on vacation together. -

Summary
VR-LA finds Maxim working in the Sanctum's forge.

Tags
Summary
VR-LA makes a visit to his old home of Candlekeep, though this time, he brings a companion. Maxim was expecting the inhabitants of the library fortress to be far more reserved, and also far more interested in the Magister rather than himself, and yet, he can't help but notice that he's being watched. As to why, he has no idea. VR-LA would just like to know why his family keeps giving him increasingly teasing knowing smiles.
A series of vaguely interconnected oneshots during their tenday stay in Candlekeep.

Tumblr Writing Collection: Isekai AU With Library Monster Maxim by KathBunny

Summary
It's as the title says! I won't be giving this any tags for the individual stories, to avoid flooding any searches, however each one will have the required warnings in the notes.
This is also an excuse to go through and edit these a bit, so these won't be completely the same as the Tumblr ones, possibly having extra words, if I feel like it for that particular work. The overall shape and storyline for each one won't change through.
Only the main trio featured are tagged, even if they aren't the only characters. -

Summary
Maxim gets hurt in a fight, VR-LA helps replace the damaged plating. Somehow it’s gay.
They aren’t dating at this point, but they are both somewhat aware of the others feelings (neither of them have any idea how to move forward though)

Summary
Uh oh, Veerle spent too long out in the cold and now Maxim has to take care of him, oh nooooooo I hope they aren’t super gay about it (I’m lying, they are)
Content warning: There are discussions of Veerle’s past self-destructive behaviours as well as his general problems with self worth. This is also in the context of how that affects Maxim as well. Though it’s mostly in the past tense, it’s still there, so just a heads up if that’s not something you want to read about. Take care of yourselves!

Summary
“Is that a pokemon? Or another boat?” Dani asked as she squinted from the deck.
“It appears to be a person,” Veerle corrected from the helm. “By my approximations, I presume she is a teenage woman.”
“Like on a raft?” Dani was now leaning precariously over the railing.
“Nope. She’s just swimming in the middle of the ocean.” Finbar whistled, impressed. “Oh, she saw us. And now she’s waving.”
“She also seems to be being chased by some rather aggressive looking pokemon.” Veerle hummed. “She is still waving, though.”
“Yup, a Veluza and a Bruxish.” Finbar winced. “But they can’t seem to catch up to her?”
“What are your orders, captain?” Veerle asked.
“In retrospect, maybe it wasn’t the smartest idea to explore the world by boat without a single water type pokemon.” Dani grimaced.
“Hindsight is 20/20.” Finbar cringed.
