Summary
In the aftermath of the Human Domestication Treaty, Earth is full of lonely, depressed and adrift people. Natasha Westvale isn't special in that regard. The affini are more than happy to help people like her, and perhaps it really will cure her of a lifetime of misery...
Maera Asterida, Second Bloom, is far too busy with her work as a filing clerk to feel comfortable with the responsibility of taking on her first floret. But maybe a break from work to focus on herself would in fact be good for her...
Natasha was sold on getting to be happy for once. Maera thought she was getting an easy, voluntary first floret who just needed some tender loving care. But life is rarely so simple, and when Natasha starts behaving oddly, both will have to explore the dangerous realms of things that were not in the contract.

Summary
The wedding of Jaina Proudmoore and Sylvanas Windrunner brought hope for peace. It ended conflicts, created ties, and offered a glimmer that the Alliance and Horde could set their differences aside.
They succeeded. All it cost them was everything. Even each other.
Now in self-imposed exile from Alliance and Horde alike, both look to thrones they have long denied; thrones that will mark them as enemies to all, but which could offer salvation from their pain.
But the world continues to turn, and greater forces loom. Azeroth continues to bleed, and a new Hour of Twilight beckons.
When all is darkest, can the heirs of night still save the world?

Summary
"For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul." - Leviticus 17:11
An assignment to a top-secret Weyland Yutani research base could have meant many things for a brilliant scientist and a gifted engineer. Further opportunities, guaranteed futures, an escape from mediocrity.
Neither Evelyn Kane nor Marie Marshall expected to find each other. The ice queen and the firebrand could have made for a beautiful love story.
But New Eden is no place for love. The Company wants nothing less than the elixir of life - and that means extracting it from the most lethal beings in the universe. Creatures who corrupt and destroy all that they touch.
When paradise turns into hell, what will you do to survive?
Constructive criticism welcome.

Summary
Azeroth stands on the brink of all out war. Sargeras is imprisoned, the Burning Legion defeated... all that is left is the Horde and the Alliance themselves, and old hatreds rising.
On one side, Jaina Proudmoore's nihilism threatens her once implacable spirit, with a growing certainty that peace is impossible. On the other, Warchief Sylvanas Windrunner's machinations for invasion grow, equally certain that her people will never be safe while the Alliance exists.
Yet these two women will soon hold the last hope for peace in their hands, one needed more than ever... for the Old Gods are moving, and the final fate of Azeroth lies in the balance.
A reimagining of Battle for Azeroth.
Constructive criticism welcome.

Summary
Tess Greymane wasn't meant to be a soldier. Or an assassin. Or a spy. She was meant to have a home, and a brother. But the only thing she's been allowed to think about for five years is the fact that she has neither. Her father's endless fury and quest for revenge has left her exhausted, and thinking that maybe... it's time she put her skills to use, to fix it.
But when her assassination attempt on the Banshee Queen goes horribly wrong, she finds herself at the mercy of a woman with her own deep grudges against the Greymane family - and a perfect excuse to take out her frustrations on her prisoner.
But as they get to know each other better, perhaps both the wolf pup and the queen of the dead can overcome their differences and find a way to heal old wounds.

Summary
A young Jedi Knight is captured during a Sith attack on a Republic outpost, but her initial fears about interrogation swiftly turn into a different kind of nightmare, as the Sith Lord forces her to recount a painful memory while their apprentice watches.
Sometimes the most binding cages are those made from misguided kindness. Sometimes to break someone free, you must be cruel.

Summary
As transdimensional reality parasites go, the Entity is not a creative soul. She copies, she steals, and she imitates, but very little is new. And when She decides to steal from another eldritch fog-related deity... the God of Silent Hill is not amused.
Now Killers and Survivors alike are thrown out of the nightmarish routine of the trials, and must survive in the warzone between two incomprehensible forces. Facing down the nightmares of both their former jailor, and the no less hostile abominations of the invader, many will start to question the old lines and divisions. What was once unthinkable may now be necessary.
A disjointed series of one-shots and mini stories set against the background of an eldritch slugfest, which may eventually have a point and an ending. Expect the tag list to balloon.

Summary
"The absence of faith is the mark of the weak. The absence of faith is the mark of the heretic. The absence of faith is the mark of damnation."

For Katarina Tzarine and her followers, it is no choice at all. But Gharr's mission leads them to a nightmarish world where nothing can be trusted, and all will be tested to the limit. With survival and their very souls on the line, Tzarine must ask herself what really matters...
