Summary
The real monster lives in your head and has your voice.
The ball on Toril was a trap. The Guilds played it perfectly: abduct the mentalists, infect them, dispose of the evidence.
(Oh, something went wrong.)
Tav wakes up on an alien planet. Holes in her memory. A parasite in her skull. And a voice that isn't hers.
(Wait—whose voice is that?)
(Hello?)
(This is temporary, right?)
She’s surrounded by strangers she doesn’t trust. And rightly so. No one is who they claim to be. Everyone's a weapon. Some are just better at hiding it.
(...that strange pale elf.)
The parasite whispers. The voice knows things Tav doesn't. And slowly, the question changes:
Who are you when you can't trust your own thoughts?

Summary
Pen is back in Sandrock, baby! Getting a second chance, he knows he’ll need to be on his best behavior to convince everyone that he’s not the same villain that was escorted out in chains. With the love of his life now married and his job as Sandrock’s protector having been passed on to his old nemesis, Logan, he’s been relegated to doing odd-jobs around town to scrape together a living.
When he’s given the responsibility of protecting a wildlife biologist researching the monsters around Sandrock, he’s surprised to find himself catching feelings for the incredibly serious and awkward woman he now calls his boss, and things start to feel like they’re finally going Pen’s way. That is, until his past with Duvos returns to haunt him and the ones he loves…

Takes place a few months post-canon
With all the secrets revealed after the Idol Awards debacle, Mira and Zoey though that Rumi had finally opened up to them fully. But Rumi was still hiding, still sleeping in her own room behind a locked door every night-even after the three of them went public with their relationship, and still hadn't gone to the bath house with them. Because Rumi still has one thing she hasn't told her girls, something she's been told to keep secret even more than her patterns. Rumi wasn't born the daughter of Mi-yeong Ryu--but the son of Mi-yeong Ryu.

Transfem Rumi real and canon, dysphoria comfort and Celine punching ensues. -

The vulgar boy has soft lips. How Ren knows this is difficult to explain. Mainly because any attempt to think about it starts with holy and ends with shit.

Summary
The year is 1800 something, England. You have just inherited the Valdivian estate of a distant uncle of yours. However, due to law and you being a woman, you cannot publicly claim the house as your own; otherwise, you'd be forced into a marriage with no input of your own, so you must remain inside as often as possible to avoid word getting out. Thankfully, the servants of the house are a friendly bunch, ensuring your solitude is anything but lonely. However, letters of love started appearing in your window from a secret admirer. You aren't sure who it could be, but you have taken a liking to the attention. But even as your heart leans toward your mysterious poet, your gaze keeps straying to another. A timid chimney sweeper who can scarcely meet your eyes, let alone speak a word, yet something in his awkwardness charms you. The more he recoils, the more you find yourself drawn in, unbeknownst to the secret he holds.

Summary
October has officially begun. I originally wanted to do a kinktober but I've never written smut before so I figured I'd stay within my league and do nothing but write angst all month between my favorite pairing. Some chapters will have a happy ending, others won't. You will not be warned in advance which are which. You get a small summary at the beginning of each chapter and that's about it.
This is my first time participating in something like this so I'm hoping I can make the full month!

“Do you want a wipe for your hands?” Carlos asks him.
“No!” Jonah shakes his head, so TK sits back and waits for him to finish before returning to wipe the rest of his mouth. “Wan’ more apples.”
“Okay, you can have a few more,” TK laughs. “Just try to eat your honey instead of wearing it, okay?”
