The Fae Huntress by LadyWildcat
Fandoms: Original Work, TOUCHSTARVED (Red Spring Studio Visual Novel)
29 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
Among my studies of Fae-mortal relations, Evangeline Darkbriar stands uniquely compelling. A Lady Huntress whose existence challenges our understanding of Wild Hunt contracts, she embodies the confluence of eternal service and personal autonomy, Fae magic and mortal love.
Her transformation from fugitive to Hunt member, mastering multiple magical disciplines, manifests in unprecedented ways. Her binding to mage Eirika Darkbriar through both Fae pact and marriage defies magical convention, while their expected twins present an unmatched opportunity to study Hunt-blessed inheritance.
Her dual nature—reserved Huntress and captivating Lady Wildcat—exemplifies the complexity of Fae-touched existence. Whether she represents an anomaly or harbinger of change in Fae-mortal relations remains to be determined.

Twin of the Huntress by LadyWildcat

Summary
From the Field Notes of Dorian Vale, Chronicler of Realms Adjacent
Elizabeth Greystone stands as an anomaly in my chronicles. This Shadow Spellblade's mastery over darkness transcends conventional practice. While her striking presence draws attention, it's her unprecedented shadow manipulation that demands documentation.
Her symbiotic bond with the shadow realm, forged through years protecting her twin Evangeline, manifests in extraordinary ways. The innovative "umbral cultivation" in her midnight garden and her living grimoire bracer challenge established magical theory. Most intriguingly, her shadows respond to the twins' emotional resonance, suggesting deeper metaphysical connections.
Her temporal shadow manipulation hints at lost arts from the ancient Umbral Codex. Even these notes resist full disclosure, with shadows shifting across certain passages...

Of Hearth and Healing: A Study of Darkbriar's Quiet Keepers by LadyWildcat
Fandoms: Original Work, TOUCHSTARVED (Red Spring Studio Visual Novel)
13 Apr 2025

Summary
In the shadows between grand tales and heroic deeds lie the true architects of sanctuary. Within these pages, discover how a kitchen becomes a sanctuary and a cat's watchful gaze shields broken spirits. Meet Liana, whose recipes carry whispers of distant homes, and Aine, whose silent patrols guard more than just corridors.
Here lies the story of how comfort arrives in the form of perfectly-timed soup and midnight vigils, of how healing happens in the spaces between words. Through their quiet dedication, witness how a shifter's empathy and a cook's intuition transform Darkbriar from mere shelter to true sanctuary.
Some of the estate's deepest magic works not through grand spells or ancient artifacts, but through fresh-baked bread and the gentle weight of a silver-dappled cat at one's feet. These are the untold stories of those who understand that sometimes the strongest protection comes wrapped in a colorful bandana, and the deepest healing arrives on silent paws.
[From the personal collection of Dorian Vale, with particular gratitude to a certain kitchen's inexplicably endless supply of midnight snacks and the mysterious disappearance of his research notes' spelling errors every full moon.]
