    Summary

    Wisteria (Tav) leaves Astarion after they defeat the elder brain, as much as it hurt both of them. But when she left, she completely disappeared. Nobody has seen her - not shadowheart, not gale. Surely she didn't vanish?

    Two years later, Astarion runs into her- but she's different. She's now a vampire spawn under a cruel master.
    This is a slow burn so smut is in the later chapters. I am posting a chapter a day—I have already finished this story!

    FINISHED BOOK!

    Spawn!Astarion. Spawn!Tav

    A lot of pining, slow-burn romance, and tons of angsty hurt comfort.
    HAPPY ENDING!!!

    Summary

    Tamlin believed that the High Lord of the Night Court was a cruel, dangerous man who used his daemati powers to twist the minds of those around him, forcing their loyalty and lying to them about who the real enemy was. He believed Rhysand took Feyre against her wishes and planted lies in her head, turning her against him, against the outside world, even against her own family.

    It turns out, he was right.

    Summary

    City-dwelling Lilian finds comfort in a friendship with "Charlie1990" on an online forum, but when he abruptly vanished after she mentioned meeting, she was left with questions.

    A year later, she has inherited her grandfather's farm in Stardew Valley and decides to leave her old life to probably search for the "something else" that had been missing.

    It was into this small-knit valley community that she entered to rebuild her life, forge new friendships—and perhaps even answers.

    Summary

    "You okay?" You were aiming for casual but it comes out overly so, like you're self-conscious about it. And, a little slurred.

    "Fuck off," Shane says.

    You nod. Figures. Turning, you start to walk away again when he says, "Sorry."

    You stiffen, look at him. He's looking at you now, managed to tear his eyes away from the shelf.

    "Sorry," he says again, with such an honesty to it. "Old habits."

    Three years since you last spoke, the rumour around town is that Shane's sober now. When it proves to be true, and he wants to be friends, old wounds are reopened and old habits die hard.

    Summary

    “Because my insides are red and yours are too
    And the blood on my face is matching you
    And goodness, you’re bleeding, what a wonderful feeling
    You’re down, and you’re pleading, my head is just reeling
    The red means I love you.”

    Nothing is as it seems. Sometimes an apple has a worm in it, or a pie is filled with mold. A gift horse can be a deception and a one night stand can be the beginning of a nasty, obsessive plot.

    A rabid wolf has no fear of a snake, but perhaps an ambitious devil is scarier than the god of the murder.

    Summary

    An AU where, when faced with an ultimatum by the inner circle, Nesta chooses to be returned to the mortal lands rather than electing to be forcibly rehabilitated at the House of Wind.

    This is a darker version of events than Nesta's canon story where she has less plot armor.

    Summary

    Kudos are my kink!! We are deep diving into relationships.. smut.. love.. life.. devil business.. the hells.. difficult choices.. dark places.. the celebration of life.. the inevitability of death and all that happens in between. As is typical of my writing, many ellipses died to bring you these stories.. forever stuck as an angsty goth of the mid 90's.. honey.. where are my Tripp Pants??? The Spotify playlist is constantly updated and can be found under the name of the first story 'A Pact, A Promise' - you will be quite lost in this story if you have not read the prior.. what.. are there really SIX prior stories? Maybe I need to.. as they say these days.. touch grass.

    Summary

    Tav, having finally rid herself of the Dark Urge, is trying her best to rebuild her life in Baldur’s Gate, perhaps having lost a purpose. But when she’s attacked and is forced to flee, she needs to turn to her friends to be sure she can uncover her attacker’s motives and how to stop them. And who can she turn to to cope with the emotional toll being hunted can cause than a spawn who has more than enough of his own.
    ///
    The Dead Three have a need for a new champion, one they will make rather than choose. With the assistance of other gods they plan on not only utilizing the last of the Bhaalspawn, but putting into motion plans that threaten Faerûn.

    Summary

    If she'd been alone, he might have pressed her for information then left her remains on the beach and moved on. But she had a spiky-looking Gith with her and a wizard with terrible hair so Astarion opted for caution and belated politeness. "Marichar." She said, massaging a spot over her breastbone where he'd possibly elbowed her.
    And thus had begun - whatever this was. His membership among this gaggle of motley idiots.

    Summary

    “So-“ She began to speak after a brief silence.

    “If you drink a sentient being’s blood-“

    “I’ll know for sure that I can deliberately disobey the rules I was forced to abide by.” I interrupted.

    She looked at the ground and quietly spoke to herself. She wasn’t actually considering letting me drink from her, was she?

    “May I ask you something?” She looked back up at me, eyes wide like a doll’s.

    “I don’t see why not.”

    “Why me?” She asked, the look of uneasiness returning to her face.

    Why her?

    I couldn’t simply tell her that my mind ran wild like a beast’s. That the way she laid there so helplessly and serene called to me like a siren song. That I needed to taste her. More than I needed anything else at this moment. She’d think me a monster.

    But then again, maybe she’d be right.

    Summary

    Elain Archeron has always been the mildest of the three Archeron sisters. The middle child, she always found herself overlooked—any flaws smoothed over by her beauty, any strengths muted by her strong-willed sisters. All her life, she’s been called soft and delicate. After killing the King of Hybern and watching her father die, however, she knows she’s anything but a gentle flower. Internally, rage chokes her, but she throttles it as she always has: smiling demurely, and letting her rose thorns scar her hands. When all else fails, she’s learned that you can’t scream if you refuse to breathe.

    When a vision of true happiness with a red-haired male lures Elain away from the oppressive safety of the Night Court to the untamed chaos of the Spring Court, she begins to build a life—and a love—for herself. The only problem? She’s falling for the wrong male. With Prythian’s tenuous peace—and her own future—at stake, can she deny her own selfish desires? Or is the High Lord of the Spring Court exactly where her visions have been leading her all along?

    Summary

    He scrutinises her closely. "Have I offended you, somehow?" he asks silkily. "Care to share the story how you got the scar?"
    "Not right now," she bites out.
    She gives him a visual audit so cold it could turn a spitting volcano into a glacier. Raphael returns it with practised lenience, though he's aware he's stepped into another pitfall, not sure how, though. One cannot win with her.
    He reaches for her arm. "You might feel better if-"
    Before he finishes, Tav's upon him, fingers around his throat. Always the damned throat. He struggles briefly before forcing himself into surrender, arms stretched out on the bed.
    "I said," she whispers, "not now."

    --------
    It's been three years and a somewhat damaged Tav learned to move on. But what do you do when the devil you killed returns to offer hope - in exchange for your part in his grand design? And what if his design is so monstrous that Tav may not have to kill the devil this time, but save him instead?
    OR: A depressed Raphael fell first, a depressed Tav fell harder.
    --------
    This story originally started as a collection of connected one-shots.
