Summary
Your name was once Mairon.
In you is a hunger black and gnawing at the edges of the tomb you’ve built around your earthly body. It was not your hunger originally, oh, but you have made it your own and with each bite your teeth tears a fresh landscape from the flesh of your being, revealing an ever harsher need.
You will always be hungry, I think

A southern gothic reimagining of the journey from a Maia in service into a would-be master of his own fate. -

Summary
In a cold, lonely forest much like the one you're imagining, gods and mortals struggle to find their meanings. They fight off the chill in the best ways they know how- with love, anger, and the making of mistakes.
This is a gender-bent, Hadestown-inspired Vampire Academy AU, wherein Rose is cast in the role of Orpheus, who ventures into the darkness for the sake of their love. Dimitri is cast as Eurydice, the wanderer searching for absolution, and warmth. A narrator, forced to watch as the story unfolds again, sits with you.
trying some stuff out with the narration, please bear with me.

Summary
♫♪ I don't care where you've been, how many miles, I still love you. ♫♪
Bob doesn't always know what to say, but he can do his best. So he launches the blanket up in the air and sinks down, letting the duvet settle over them like a shield. Something he used to do when he was a kid, a way to stave off the shouting, the bangs and crashes.
"What are you doing?" Bucky rumbles, but he stays put even as Bob scoots forward so their legs are pressed up against each other.
"This is a magical blanket," He says, the same words he would say to himself as a boy, "Nothing bad can get in."
~ Or the one in which a single conversation about lava lamps makes all the difference in the world.

Summary
To young lord Hans Capon of Pirkstein, no matter whether he was the son of a village blacksmith or a noble's bastard, Henry was no more than a dog.
The moment the dog dared to disobey, all he was good for was to be kicked, and all he could hope for is that the lord, in his infinite noble wisdom, wouldn't deem him rabid—and put him down.
Let it be so, then. If he was an unruly dog, hungering after something he had no right to, then he was already damned. God can't help him.
His soul was already lost—the leash to it in different hands than God's.Henry tries to bury all the conflicting feelings about his lord somewhere deep. But was born under an unlucky star, after all: the world won't let him keep these things buried for too long. A study of Henry's state of mind after Laboratores until For Victory!; exploration of his own fears and desires he struggles to understand. Canon compliant, extended: filling in the gaps. Misunderstood religious misery, self-discovery, shameless dog motif, power imbalance and crossing the class divide; two absolute fools in horrible, horrible love.
Chapter titles reference the associated in-game quest.
