  1. Summary

    A collection of short stories about the relationship between the venerable Commissar Ciaphas Cain and Inquisitor extraordinaire Amberley Vail, as read between the lines of the Cain Archive.

    Mostly smutty, often silly, purely self-indulgent, angst-free moments in a centuries-long love story.

    Summary

    "I'm pregnant." Those were the two words I had not expected to hear when Amberly urgently called me to meet her out of all the possibilities of her diverting the 597th to meet her on this planet. I had been expecting something far more physically threatening to my life, with her dragging me into some mission to do with her actual occupation.

    "I see," I said simply, unsure how to react. I poured myself another glass of amasec and sat beside her on the couch.

    Editorial note: Cain's talent for self-delusion was evident here. However, unlike most times when he's too hard on himself, this time, it was for the sake of soothing his ego. What actually happened after I said that was that he gave a diplomatic smile, nodded, said something utterly nonsensical in a calming tone, and then fainted face first directly onto the floor.

    Summary

    Young Thranduil brings back Aerneth to Doriath as his wife, making his abusive father furious. Through the Ages their hasty marriage is shadowed by war and death, dragons and dark lords, betrayal and kinslayings. How can they ever find healing and love?
    – Or, the Silmarillion from Thranduil’s perspective.

     

    Update Oct 2025: This is my only unfinished fanfic. It’s now been a year and a half since my last update, and I don’t see any new chapters coming out in the foreseeable future. I started writing this during the pandemic, when people had lots of time to read fanfic (and I had lots of time to write it). I had regular readers who cheered me on, and their support spurred me to continue, despite how much work it was. Each chapter took days, sometimes weeks, to write, since I had to research The Silmarillion and other Tolkien sources, make sense of them, and adapt them into a story from Thranduil’s perspective.

    These days, I’ve moved on to writing original stories. I’ve completed a novel and begun another, and I have many ideas for more. For now, I use what time and motivation I have on finishing those. To you who still wait for an update: I’m sorry to keep you hanging!

    Summary

    All she feels is Ciri’s warm, desperate grip. Yennefer’s other hand, empty in the cold, no longer hurts. Both her wrists have healed. She hadn’t asked for that.

    Chaos has a mind of its own, but she’d made a choice, hadn’t she? The right choice. Her power has come back—Ciri has been saved. She’s atoned for her sins by emptying herself. So why has she been kept from fulfilling that vow?

    What good is a sacrifice if it does not hurt?

    An alternate ending to S0208 where Yen is doing much worse, and won't let anyone close enough to help. Geralt struggles to understand his own feelings as she slips through his fingers again.

    It's not about being unmade; it's about remaking, one aching step at a time.
