Summary
“What are we gonna do, Tish? How will we get out of this mess?” Reth asks quietly.
She shrugs her shoulders.
“I might have a solution, if I am allowed to offer one.”
Her ocean eyes seek the other man sitting quietly in his chair at the other end of the table. His hands lay folded neatly on the table but his index finger taps against the wood. Their gaze meets, hesitancy swirling in his light grey orbs. She nods softly, urging him wordlessly to go along.
“Your parents have been friends with Lady Sifuu Kuza for a very long time. So have I. She is a strong ally in this. I-” Ashura stops, contemplating his next words. “I have taken the agency of contacting her in hopes she would agree to a marriage between you, my Lady, and her son, Lord Hassian.”
Her whole body tenses. She forces herself to take a deep breath, trying desperately to swallow the nausea filling her belly. If only she could hide that mind-numbing fear behind the overplayed interest she displays on the surface. Her face feels like stone, heavy and unmoving.
“So be it then,” she says, abruptly ending her trail of thought. “I will marry Hassian Kuza and become his wife.”

Summary

Or, in human terms, an earthquake followed by a tsunami wreaks havoc on the coastline.
This will eventually be a tale of two young ladies on an unexpected journey, but for now, nothing has really begun -

Summary
When Robin appears in Kilima out of thin air, he decides Hassian is his friend, the hunter just doesn't know it yet. The two grow closer, and realize "friend" isn't the only thing they want to be. Also they both have some emotional issues to resolve, and it turns out they’re good for each other.
That's it, that's the plot.
As a man with a massive crush on this edgy hermit, I realized I wanted more stories about Hassian with a male player character, so I decided to do it myself. This is a little passion project I've been working on for months. Not much of a plot, more a series of vignettes and conversations focused on the two characters and their developing relationship, based on the in-game interactions. Slow burn (and by slow I mean I've written almost 300 pages so far and they don't start having feelings until about page 70) because I adore the in-game friendship arc.

Summary
Jel, unfortunately, finds himself incredibly attracted towards the town chef. The same one that trouble follows every step he goes, and paves the Path he follows. Jel also finds himself picking up pieces he never noticed, piecing both Reth and his story back together. It's the least he could do, convincing the other man that he's worthy of love.

Summary
Einar pulled in tens of thousands of fish in his ancient life. Yet one day, he managed to reel in something almost as good: a new traveller to Palia. This new visitor ended up with a more unconventional greeting than most. Will this be a passing moment in Einar's long and storied life, or is this new mysterious friend the reel-deal? (Badruu made me put that in)

Summary
When an amnesiac human literally drops into his world, Hassian's plan is simple: dump them on someone else and forget they exist. Too bad Juniper has other ideas - like refusing to tolerate his attitude, calling him out when he's being a jerk, and somehow making him care despite his best efforts. What starts as the worst hunting lessons in Kilima's history slowly becomes something neither of them saw coming. And when the corruption in the Elderwood forces them to rely on each other whether they like it or not, neither of them expected to find something worth fighting for.

Summary
Palia A/U
You don't remember your past, but you're determined to make it as a contemporary dancer in Kilima City. But first, you need to eat, so you take a job as a server at Soup's On. You immediately notice the playful troublemaker chef, Reth, who you find yourself inexplicably drawn to. After a few steamy encounters, you learn the truth about him: that he's in debt to the cartel to save his sister, Tish. Despite your attraction and growing feelings, Reth won't let you into his world.
At the same time, your intense choreographer, Hassian, is pushing you to be the best dancer possible, even if he's hurting you in the process. You know that Hassian is what you need, but your mind keeps returning to the crooked smile of the chef who stole your heart.
Simmer is an A/U fanfic focused on an intense, dysfunctional relationship with elements of angst, comfort, and some consensual kink. Regular updates ahead.

Summary
The Watcher's mission to Kilima was supposed to be easy. She was just a small part of a much larger investigation into the Human Reemergence, and this was just a small village.
The cook's mission was to watch the Watcher. His life belongs to the Cartel and his sister's life relied on the Flow that the Cartel provided him. He had to know if the Order was catching on to the illegal activity flowing through the underbelly of the village.
As their missions went on, Reth and Subira became more and more drawn to each other. The time they spent together was easy and comfortable. They made each other feel seen, understood, and less alone.
But how long would be be able to hide his criminal activities?... and what will she do if she finds out?

Summary
“I broke things off with Nai’o,” Kenyatta says, pretty much out-of-the-blue.
She’s sitting at the bar, a sweet-root smash in her hands, and Reth, who is just trying to get through the early evening and into his next shift, freezes in place.
“Whoa,” is all he can think to say.
Slinging drinks and making soup is easy. The therapist part of being an innkeep? Challenging.
Nai’o hates Reth. Reth didn’t have strong feelings about Nai’o, really. But after a steamy storeroom encounter, his opinion changes. For the worse.
Then, eventually, for the better.

Summary
A cook, a hunter, and a displaced Immortal of an ancient race walk into a bar. Sounds like the start of a bad joke
Utopia comes at a devastating price. Akei remembered the feeling of dread and emptiness as everything crashed around her. She was born at the end of forever, just in time to watch it fall apart. Little did she know the life that awaited her once she was brought out of an eternal dream.
I suck at summaries sorry
