Summary
Erik flees Paris hoping to keep the woman he loves safe by putting as much distance between them as possible. With help from the Girys - and that of another old friend - he tries to rebuild his shattered life and reinvent himself. But however far he runs, and however much success he finds, his longing for Christine continues to dog his heels. And after a nearly decade on this new continent, it threatens to consume him and those around him once again...
This is a continuation of my previous fic, Secrets in the Dark, and an attempt to retell the events of LND in a way that is more to my own liking.Series

Summary
Severus learned at an early age that jack o' lanterns weren't just for fun. His mother told him their origins, told him how the seams of the world came a little loose around halloween time, how the barrier between worlds was thinnest in the dead of night on All Hallow's Eve. Things could come through, if you weren't careful. But if you carved a jack o' lantern, and placed it outside of your home, it would keep watch there, and frighten away those malignant spirits. Severus carved a pumpkin for their home in Cokeworth every year after that. And when he returned to Hogwarts as a professor, he began carving them there, too.
This is a little one-shot fic inspired by the "Pumpkin Carving" Snapetober prompt (snapetober prompts by sxvxrxssnape on Tumblr) in which Professor Snape does his bit to protect the castle during the Halloween season... much to the displeasure of the house elves.

Summary
This fic follows the events of a previous work, A Window of Silk and Paper.
The Yiling Laozu has been resurrected in a new body. The Sects are scrambling to pick up the pieces after the death of the Chief Cultivator. Reunited, with their true feelings revealed to one another, Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji have returned together to Gusu.
In the peaceful sanctuary of the Jingshi, the two of them are learning what it is like to be together, to love one another, and to be happy - even if one of them is still plagued by ghosts from the past, and struggling with how to live in a stolen body he doesn't recognize.

Summary
This was inspired by @bigmamag on tumblr, who said:
"I just hurt myself thinking of the fact that pictures don’t exist in The Untamed and the only images Lan Wangji has of him is those shitty evil yiling patriarch caricatures that he just straight up burns whenever he sees out of anger. But what if on a night hunt like year 10 after Wei Wuxian’s death, Lan Wangji saves a very nice family’s daughter from a monster and they mention someone else helping their village and visiting a long time ago and the daughter shows him the accurate depiction of Wei Ying she drew back then of the nice cultivator who made her laugh through her injuries and Lan Wangji is frozen as Wei Ying smiles at him again, and he stares so longingly at it that the daughter insists that he keeps it and Lan Zhan does right next to the picture Wei Ying drew of him."
