Summary
LSTR-512. Elster. And between those lingering touches and soft moments, a whisper: Elle.
She's reliable. Check her record: if she makes a promise, she keeps it. That's just who she is.
But she made more than one promise to Ariane Yeong. And, calculating as she is, Elster knows how to prioritize.
Besides... didn't you know? The magpie mates for life.

Summary
You're not a good person. You never were. But you met Mia, and then you met Ethan, and for once in your short life you felt like you belonged.
The world took Ethan and Mia from you once, and you burned Heaven and froze Hell to get them back as Zoe whispered dark secrets in your ear. Even if it cost you your humanity, you won't let it happen again. You won't let that happen to the two most important people in your life—soon to be three, as the Winters wrap you in a hug and tell you with smiles and tears that they're expecting, that they want you to be the godparent.
Virus, bacteria, fungus, engineered, evolved, foreign, domestic. You don't care. You'll kill anything that gets in your way and won’t stop until your friends are safe from all harm.
Even if you die, you'll keep killing. Because hate may be dangerous, but love is lethal.

Summary
Thousands upon thousands of years ago, before there were Divine Beasts, before there were Champions, before there were Kingdoms... there was you.
One midnight of midsummer, you watched a peculiar star fall unto the earth—and borne upon it were strangers from a distant place far up beyond the clouds. Their likeness was that of which you had never before seen. Their magic was something you could not fathom. The stories of their chiefdom were beyond belief.
You invited them as guests into your village. Hospitality, after all, was the highest law of your tribe.
This is how you lifted up the Zonai when they had been brought low. This is how you faced down your enemies. This is how you changed your land and your history evermore.
For better, or for worse.

Summary
It could've been a fungus. It could've been a meteor. It could've been a god. It doesn't matter. Life continues, with gritted teeth and curled fist.
And death continues with it.
Behold Jackson before, during, and after, as Ellie builds a semblance of a life. She won't have to do it alone.

Summary
It is known that the accursed Dark Knight—the Lēgātus Sparda—divided the worlds and married a human woman. After this unforgivable betrayal, he produced two sons.
That the tyrannical Imperātor Īnferi—Mundus—produced one daughter? That is lesser known.
There is no primogeniture in Hell. To ascend the Thronus Perditiōnis within the Rēgia Sanguinis, the claimant must prove their worth and slay every demon standing in their way.
Lucretia has spent her entire waking life amongst the humans of Tellūs, watching and waiting. The time has come: at last she will cut down her despicable father and seize what belongs to her. And if any demon hunters, in their hubris, dare to test their mettle against her power?
Well! They are welcome to try. Stand and deliver!
If only she had not learned to appreciate this so-called "human world," and its very strange inhabitants...

The monsters have emerged from below Mount Ebott, but the humans of the city have their own ideas of what's to be done with them--or to them.

And you're a word short.
