Summary
Vernita Ergal, a best-selling elven artist, faces more than ruthless book reviews and petty readers. No, no. She has a wicked secret that haunts her, and soon the world will know unless she acts quickly and discreetly. Will her secret be safe?
Makari is a simple orc, a man with no distinct path except that of the immediate choosing. A chance meeting with Vernita Ergal has him slipping deeper into the meaning of soulful connections and their connections to the magics of the world. But he can feel something greater than friendly interest, and it forces him deeper into her world against both their expectations.

Summary
"Claiming the land, claiming its pain, claiming its death..."
The Stolen Lands is a wilderness of rugged beauty, infested by bandits, monsters and other dangers, wedged between countries that know better than to try and claim it. One day, however, a neighbouring ruler starts to recruit adventurers, intending to break the rule of bandits on the Stolen Lands and organise it into a puppet state.
Guelder, an elven druid carrying the curse of lycanthropy, is one of the many who heed the call, and the one who ultimately prevails. It will be her task to bring law and order to the Stolen Lands, walking a thin line between building civilisation and preserving nature. As she gradually discovers the secrets of the land, she realises she has wandered to the playground of mysterious powers that use her as a pawn in their game, like they did so many others before her – and those powers do not want her to succeed.
Will she be able to break the cycle and build a kingdom that will survive her? -

Summary
Kesten Garess was once a noble son of Brevoy — now he is a man without a house. In the Stolen Lands, he clings to duty as Warden and reluctant protector of a baroness whose fire is as dangerous as it is mesmerizing.
Haunted by her fragile ties to her noble family, she hides secrets beneath silk gloves and prayers whispered to the flames. She is an oracle of fire, a young scion of House Orlovsky trying to build a kingdom from nothing but ashes and uncertain alliances.
Yet the same fire that promises rebirth could devour them both. Kesten must decide whether to temper her flames with steel or surrender to a blaze that might consume the last pieces of himself he still calls his own.
At the same time, a relationship (slowly) develops between Teras, an oracle servant of Pharasma whose memories are vague, and Tristian.
Just as the new kingdom searches for its identity, so do the characters, amid curses, monsters, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Summary
The one, painfully obvious romance option we all desperately wanted but didn't get. So here you go: The long awaited Takemura Romance DLC. Sort of.
In the City of Dreams, Nomad V finds herself in a rather precarious situation, forced to work together with Arasaka bodyguard Goro Takemura to try and save her life. Amidst street fights, secret missions, corpo shenanigans and regular Night City life, V and her unlikely companion find out that they get along maybe a little too well...
Welcome to Night City! Where nothing ever works out as intended and dreams just might turn into nightmares instead.-------------------------------------------------
There are two different endings to this story, both based on real endings the player can get ingame. You can reach the endings by choosing the chapters marked with T (for ending 1) or D (for ending 2), after chapter 17.In some dialogues I used cut content that was found by a nice reddit user and uploaded online.
This story was written in 22/23 and was previously posted via Google Docs on a subreddit for Cyberpunk 2077.

The heist itself, in theory, was simple.
Thirty minutes in and out, leave with a haunted knife and a decent confidence boost. And if they were lucky, a slightly better ability to work together.
Of course, it's never that easy.

Summary
Опинившись у темному лісі, Сонік усвідомлює, що він забув, як саме сюди потрапив. Він тут для того, щоб урятувати світ, а тому мусить зробити неможливе — убити безсмертного. Принаймні так таємничий голос йому підказує. Хто б міг подумати, що в історії з кінцем світу вкотре замішаний заклятий суперник Соніка, їжак Шедов.
Коли їх обох зачиняють у підвалі старої хатини, перед ними постає суворий вибір. Хтось із них обов'язково має померти. Без виключень. Лише на мить Сонік втрачає пильність, і Шедов уже йому до горла приставляє ніж. Тоді в його голові виникає купа запитань. А чи справді це той Шедов, якого він знає? Хто і навіщо їх тут тримає? Кому слід вірити? І чи його власне тіло досі йому належить?
Зрозуміло тільки одне: їжаки повинні розірвати цей порочний ланцюг із крові та смертей і знайти вихід за всяку ціну.

Akechi sat in a quiet cafe across from a dark haired, determined boy. The warmth of LeBlanc eased into him, trying to goad him into taking down the protective walls he'd built around himself. He wouldn't, though.
Not while those silver eyes watched him like they wanted to open him up, expecting him to dump his life story onto the table between them.
In that cafe, Akechi could only know one thing for certain: There was no point letting Akira worm his way under his skin.The path that he was walking would end up with one of them dead.
--
The story of Persona 5 Royal, but told from Akechi’s perspective.

Summary
But when enough red pooled, when all of the flesh and guts congealed, and the days passed into weeks and months and lifetimes, the red turned to black. Swirling, descending, black. The space where red turned to black, where life truly ended, left no room for optimism, for hunger or satisfaction - only acceptance, only an all-consuming rot, that was where the fester truly began.

Or: This is a dive into my lovely Dark Urge, Anuon the Black, and his complicated relationship with Astarion, Gale, Bhaal, and nature. Because things can't be simple.
