Summary
At the turn of the century in Kalos and in the midst of the Victini Revolution, exiled champion and heir Steven Stone has been forced to flee from Hoenn to escape the consequences of doing what's right, and he has spent the past two months in hiding at the Hotel du Roi in the Montmartre district of Lumiose City. When a theater troupe literally comes crashing through his ceiling, they drag him along with them to the notorious all-electric night club and pleasure house across the street known as the Moulin Rouge, where he is to act as their ambassador to the 'Enchanting Emerald'--the club's star performer and courtesan--in a last-ditch effort to pitch their play.
However, when Steven discovers that said star is actually the beloved friend he'd met soon after arriving in Kalos, his existence shifts on its axis. Love may be like oxygen, but when it comes to the well-mannered but jealous duke, the ambitious and mercurial club owner, and the tangled ambitions of the underworld, one can struggle to catch their breath.
(Aka, the Moulin Rouge! AU no one asked for.)
Chapter 8: Steven wrestles with contract law, the duke makes a request, and Wallace draws a line with the troupe.

Summary
When eighteen-year-old dragon Pokemon trainer and listless force-of-nature Raihan Karimi is invited to audition for the role of gym leader in the up-and-coming Galar region, he's not even seriously consider the position. After all, Raihan has been wandering the world since leaving Luminose City on his Pokemon journey at the age of nine, and despite the name he's made for himself in the trainer world, he's never felt a call to settle anywhere--especially not a rural, agrarian region with a regional Pokemon League just now starting to get worldwide attention. Yet Raihan has been so bored for so long, and the idea of facing the unbeatable Champion of Galar is appealing, so he might as well take a look--if only for the exhibition match.
Then, a stranger walks into the almost-empty train care that's taking him to Hammerlock, and the world as Raihan knows it shakes beneath his feet.
(Aka. Leon and Raihan meet and decide to speedrun a friends-to-rivals-to-lovers arc.)
Chapter 8: In which Raihan and Leon join Opal and Aria for tea on the ravaged pitch of Hammerlocke Stadium, Raihan finds out a bit more about the mess he's getting himself into, and Opal gives her final verdict.

Summary
Leon Mishra, the eighteen-year-old Champion of Galar, had never intended on falling in love. Not only was his engaging in PDA banned by contract (which had been unacceptable to everyone who had tried), but Leon had been convinced that romantic love was impossible for someone like him. It wasn't compatible with his brain. He was too oblivious, too naive, and too focused on this three core priorities (his little brother, Pokemon, and his job) to have any mental energy left for such superfluous things. He himself wasn't easy to love by any definition of the word. It was fine. He'd been fine.
Yet one fateful encounter with a stranger on a train--one moment of selfish weakness--had changed everything, and Leon found himself preparing for his first ever date with the future gym leader of Hammerlocke. Leon needed to tell someone about everything that had happened over the past twelve hours, and who better than Professor Magnolia, the only true parental figure he'd ever known?
(Takes place between chapters 4 and 5 of oh, my blood once was my own, but can be read cold with an open mind.)

Summary
Lorian, elder prince of Lothric, feels as if he has nothing and everything to lose all at once. The kingdom to which he was once heir is crumbing, the queen is rotting away in her chambers, and the king is neglecting his duties in favor of seeking godhood. The only bright and shining thing left in his life--his little brother, Lothric--is destined to be sacrificed to the First Flame at the age of eighteen, and Lorian is not sure he will survive his heartbreak in the aftermath.
In one last, desperate attempt to save the child he loves as his own, Lorian decides to take Lothric and flee from their home, seeking asylum in the one place where Oceiros would never be able to find them: the ancient fabled kingdom of Irithyll, protected and presided over by the last True God in the Lordran.
How much can one decision influence an entire timeline? More than any man, or god, could ever foresee.
(Chapter 11: Lorian discovers long-hidden holes in the loyalty of the Silver Knights. Wolf opens up about his and Kuro's life in Ashina. The politics of smoked salmon are discussed. May the second act begin.)

Summary
Gale was pressed so close to Lupa that he could feel the other man’s heartbeat as if it was his own, and it was that sound--that steady, pulsatile thump--that kept him from bursting into tears.
- - -
In which the morning after is just as complicated as the night before, and the love shared between them makes it easier and harder all at once. Gale has his secrets and questions. Lupa has just as many secrets but far fewer answers; and the answer to the one question Gale needs answered--what happened in the Tunnels--is almost beyond comprehension. The only consolation is that, no matter what happens after they leave the room, they'll be facing it together.
(A direct sequel to 'one bright moment is all i ask' in two parts. Part 1 posted on 03/30/2021).

Summary
“ Lupa, please,” Gale whispered as Lupa pulled away, cutting him off before he could even open his mouth to speak. “ Please, Lupa...if you still want me, then please; let me have this.”
“ Gale--”
“ Right now I know who I am, and I know who I love, and I know who--and what--I want.” Gale reached his left hand up and combed it through Lupa’s dreadlocks as he continued. “ If the Church is able to once more assume control of my body and mind, and you and the others are not able to protect me or bring me back to myself...then I want this. I want to fade away knowing that I had something that was all my own: something good, something right, something the Church can’t take away from me. I want you, Lupa. I want to feel happy, complete, and...and one with you.”
- - - -
One month after Lupa's near death in the Samsara Tunnels, the Leader of the Wolves is surprised by the Bishop of the Embryon knocking on his window late one night. Gale is physically exhausted and uncharacteristically emotional, but more than that, he has something important to say.
It's everything Lupa has waited two lifetimes to hear.

Summary
It has always been Heat and Serph, Serph and Heat; the silent and wise Leader of the Embryon and his impulsive but loyal second-in-command. They were born together, emerged from the Sea of Milk together, fought together, bled together, and found solace in each other long before the events at Ground Zero. Sera's arrival changes nothing and everything all at once, and while Heat has tried so very hard to swallow the feelings for Serph that have emerged in her wake, a moment of weakness drives him to come clean to the man that had always been his other half.
Unfortunately, Serph's reaction is far from what Heat expects, and he finds his already volatile emotions boiling over in the immediate aftermath. What happens next will change Heat and Serph forever--for better or for worse.
(Or: Every avatar tuner in the Junkyard needs an emotional spark to fully awaken to their true self. This is Serph's awakening through the eyes of Heat.)

Summary
It is on a moonlit walk that Gwyndolin sees the dress in a window front of a tailor and consignment shop.

At least he does not walk his path alone.
(Takes place some time after 'Throw Stars at the Twilight', but does not spoil the story outside of the obvious.)

Summary
Lorian grew quiet for a moment, idly tapping his fingers along Gwyndolin’s sides from where they ended in the hug, as if pondering something. Then, “ I have a confession.”
Gwyndolin quirked a curious eyebrow towards his white hairline. “ Oh?”
“ Yes.” Lorian shifted--nervously, Gwyndolin noted--and the god let his hands fall still from where they were separating the silky strands of his beloved’s hair. Lorian was prone to get overwhelmed and distracted when nervous, especially when exposed to unnecessary outside stimulation, and Gwyndolin wished for him to be able to clearly speak his mind. “ Would you believe me if I...if I told you I do not feel entirely like a man?”
(In which Gwyndolin waxes rhapsodic about Lorian's hair, Lorian comes out as nonbinary to Gwyndolin (who more than understands how he feels), and everything is as soft and sweet as these heroes of the Lordran deserve.)

Summary
" He could see the dust motes floating around the elder prince, making his dark blue tunic and black pants look so unbelievably soft, and he was so sturdy and statuesque that, really, how could Gwyndolin have helped himself?"
Almost a year into the future--after the Battle for Irithyll is won and the dust has finally settled--Lorian and Gwyndolin have settled into a relationship that is sweeter and softer than anything they could have dreamed. It's only natural, then, that they take that 'final step' that everyone seems to expect in romance.
Things go as planned...until they don't.
(Takes place after "Throw Stars at the Twilight", but does not spoil the major components of said story (other than the obvious conclusion), and can be read as a stand-alone as long as one is willing to suspend a lot of disbelief.)

Summary
(08/03/15 - Updated at last! Chapter 6 is now up!)
The small town of Greenvale, Washington is shaken to its core after the unusual and brutal murder of a popular and beautiful young woman. Given the similarities of the death to a string of ritualistic and bizarre serial murders, the Irregular Incidents Division of the FBI sends Special Agent Francis York Morgan and his "twin brother" Francis Zach Morgan to investigate. As the peculiar siblings and the local law enforcement trek down the rabbit hole, shadowy creatures will slip from the supernatural into reality, a sleepy little town will bare its blood-stained past, relationships will be formed, broken, and tested, and both York and Zach will have to come to terms with their personal demons and pasts if they want to have any hope of saving not only Greenvale, but the very fabric of reality itself.
A canon-rewrite tale of altered destinies, the nonexistent boundaries of fantasy and reality, embracing the unknown, self love and acceptance, and the struggle to purge things from this world that should not exist. Oh, and the power of love, no matter which form it takes.
