    Summary

    “Rio, please.” I rub my face once more, in disbelief that he’s this determined. “Why are you even so upset by this, anyways?”

    “Why wouldn’t I be? They’re taking you away from me!” He seems to be in disbelief himself that I’d even ask such a thing. “Away from us. Away from all of this wonderful fun we’ve been having!”

    I feel that heat once more and decide to ask a question I’d been considering on and off throughout this call. “What ‘us’, Rio?”

    “Have I not made it obvious?” He darkly chuckles before lowering his voice, molasses through the line that sends a shiver through me at the dark, sickly sweet intensity. “You’re mine, Detective. Mine alone. No one else gets to hunt me. No one else gets to catch me. No one else.” He speaks breathily, directly into his phone’s microphone. I can only imagine his face as he says these things, but it still leaves me breathless. “No. One. Else. Ever.”

    A written retelling of CardlinAudio's "The Ecstasy of the Criminal Mastermind". I've taken some liberties with both characters in the scene, but the core essence of it belongs to CardlinAudio and Kendra, the one who wrote the original script.

    Summary

    Something goes wrong. The crown is split during Narinder's defeat, splitting the power between him and the Lamb.

    Narinder keeps a portion of his godhood, and the Lamb finds that abilities they had access to before are no longer possible: Healing is cut short. Powers are halved. And there is a very real chance of perma-death, as the ability to resurrect is not possible without full power, and the God of Death is not cooperative.
    Afterlife and Purgatory are not options either. Dying means erasure. Gone.

    Lambert knows Narinder grows stronger by the day, crown or not, and yet keeps him spared as they try to figure out how to complete their own goals. Narinder vows vengeance on the lamb for usurping him. After a few unsuccessful murder attempts, he's in for the long haul. It is only a matter of time before the Lamb's guard is down before he can strike, and The One Who Waits is very patient. When a mystic being demands they save the bishops from purgatory, an alliance is in order.

    Except...the lamb's actions and their presence begin to unlock abilities within the God of Death he didn't know he had prior to his imprisonment, among other fickle things, like emotions. The prophecy didn't warn him of that part.

    Summary

    Logan Sanders is so excited to study this exciting new creature that's been discovered! The spider-like creature is very interesting, and oddly adorable.

    A few weeks later, a similar situation arises when an octopus like creature is discovered.

    But surely they couldn't know each other. They aren't sentient. They're not related, and they definitely don't have an overprotective (and oddly attractive) snake parent looking for them. Nope, definitely not.

    (or, how Logan became part of a monster family)

    Summary

    Humans are such...fascinating. And so emotional, aren't they? Unfortunately for Patton, some creatures that don't understand emotions want to...experiment.

    Humans can be so fragile.

    ...and capable of a kind of strength those creatures could only dream of.

    Summary

    It's a strange service.

    It promises to help bring out the best in you by showing you your worst so you understand yourself better. Or at least that's what he understood from the drunk rambling phone call when his friends needed another person to sign up for it so they could all get the discount.

    ***

    Virgil finds himself an unwitting participant in one of the newest magical fads: a personal spell that will create a creature just for you. The service claims to offer each participant an insight into how they fit into the world's magic, what their strengths are, what their weaknesses are, areas for improvement. The process is...more than challenging, the outcome...perplexing.

    Summary

    If you asked Roman what he thought would happen after he finally, finally reconnected with his brother after their parents did their level best to make sure the 'good son' and the 'bad son' never spoke again, the last thing he would've said is 'I get adopted by his new friends' family.'

    And yet, that's a remarkably accurate description for why he currently finds himself in the middle seat, driving towards an abandoned ghost town, rumored to be the most haunted place within a five-hour drive.
