Summary
The apartment was smaller than the word apartment deserved.
Calling it a box would have been more honest. Four walls, a ceiling low enough that Peter felt like he’d bang his head trying to stand up from unpacking, and a window that technically opened but jammed half the time. The place smelled faintly of mildew, maybe because of the carpet - or maybe because this whole building had given up on life a few decades ago and was just waiting for someone merciful to bulldoze it.
He told himself it was fine. He told himself worse things had happened. Which, technically, was true.
That didn’t make him feel any better.

Summary
“Kate”, he asked hoarsely. “Has someone…has a man…ever forced unwelcome attentions on you?”
“No!” she cried out. “Oh, don’t look that way, I can’t bear it.”
She had lied to him. Of course, she had. She knew the ways of society and the expectations that men held. The men of society wanted pure, clean, and untouched. They wanted naive, innocent.
But Kate was not innocent, whether she liked it or not. She had learned, at much too young an age, that sometimes the most convincing form of payment was herself.

Summary
Techno hands over the shirt like a man presenting evidence at his own trial. Wilbur unfolds it. He holds it up. He is quiet for a long moment. Then his mouth twitches.
“Did you do this with your feet?”
“I did it in the dark.”
“The dark did not do this. As you said, this is a deliberate choice,” Wilbur smiles, running his thumb over the collar. His fingers are long and nimble, nothing like Techno’s. “You sewed a hole closed and created three new ones in the process. Mitosis.”
Techno scoffs, crossing his arms, but there's a stupid grin on his face. “It's called innovation, Wilbur.”
“It's called being a shit seamist,” Wilbur turns and picks up a needle and a roll of thread from off the stand, borrowing it. “Sit down. Actually, don’t sit down. You’ll look more pathetic standing, you will.”
//
Or, an AU where Techno and Wilbur are in The Hunger Games and Wilbur definitely does not lose his mind

Summary
Nach einem verheerenden Winter gehen die verfeindeten Stämme der Berserker und Hooligans ein unerwartetes Bündnis ein, um ihr Volk vor dem Aussterben zu bewahren. Vereint in ihrer Verzweiflung ziehen sie plündernd und brandschatzend durch das nordöstliche Frankenreich.
Vierzehn Winter zuvor bringt die heidnische Frau des Dorfpriesters in Veltheim ein Mädchen zur Welt: Irmina. Sie wächst in einer Zeit dunklen Aberglaubens auf, gegen den ihr Vater grausam zu Felde zieht. Als Irminas fremdartiges Wesen und das sächsische Blut ihrer Mutter ihr zum Verhängnis werden, wird Veltheim von einem schrecklichen Verbrechen heimgesucht, das Irminas Schicksal für immer verändern soll.
Seit dem Tod seiner Mutter und seiner ungeborenen Schwester herrscht Schweigen zwischen Rotzbakke und seinem Vater. Kotzbakke weiß nicht, was er mit seinem übereifrigen Sohn anfangen soll, und zieht es vor, seine väterlichen Pflichten zu meiden. Als er zu einem Raubzug in die südlichen Lande aufbricht, hätte Rotzbakke nie ahnen können, dass das schmächtige, unscheinbare Mädchen, das sein Vater als Kriegsbeute mit nach Hause schleppt, seine Sicht auf die Welt für immer verändern würde.
Schließlich ist sie bloß eine wertlose Sklavin.

Summary
Eshara Gill has spent her life in the shadow of war — her mother a camp‑courtier, her childhood marked by constant travel, whispered secrets, and the monthly visits of a mysterious orc who watched over her like a guardian spirit. When her mother dies and their landlord, the ruthless Count Edmonton, comes to claim Eshara as payment for old debts, she flees to the one place her orc begged her to never go: Orc Mountain.
But the mountain is no refuge. It’s a nest of old betrayals, buried truths, and dangerous politics — and the orc who once secretly protected her is at the center of it all.
Now hunted by humans and entangled in orcish power struggles, Eshara discovers that her mother’s past, her own identity, and the orc who swore to protect her are all pieces of a much larger, far more dangerous truth. One that Count Edmonton would kill for.
