Crimson Verse and Other Short Stories by ThisBirdWithoutACage

Summary
Ideas from The Flower Bled Crimson that I decided didn't work for the story, along with what if scenarios. This work will feature also one-shots and possible one-shot series. I will do my absolute best to make sure that stories from the same universe stay together. As we go along, I will update the tags accordingly, such as if I start a new AU. If you have ideas and would potentially like to see them added, just let me know in the comments!

Twisted Tales by ThisBirdWithoutACage
Fandom: Gravity Falls, Over the Garden Wall (Cartoon)
12 Sep 2017
Summary
A series of unconnected one shots (or some might have two to three chapters), that are all about Poetree. I prefer to do AU verses, but suggestions for canon work too. Originally, it started with When Dark met light, but since I got a lot of good responses to that one, I kind of wanted to write something like that again. Though the first one was dark, I enjoyed researching and doing writing for it. It was a lot of fun and a great way to wrap up my Winter break before heading back to college. So this entire series will be dark. I am open to just about anything, but I do have limits. Other pairings will be in this series, but they will be minor pairings since the main focus is on Poetree.

Summary
When he woke in his chains, he was glowing. Under the dark streaks of dried blood, light was leaking through his skin. He looked like he’d swallowed a star.
Annatar was standing in front of him, some feet away, his head slightly tilted.
Sauron, not Annatar. Celebrimbor had to remember that, even though it was Annatar studying him; Annatar’s curving mouth and cool eyes –
He wondered, for a moment, what fresh torment the light was meant to be; and then, with a sick awareness, he felt it like black breath on his soul, and he cried out, “What have you done?”
-
Sauron works a finer torture in the ruins of Eregion, and Celebrimbor survives it. The world twists.

Summary
Sakura arrived too late. Her attempt to stop Sasuke from self-destructing failed as she watched in horror the death of the red-haired woman who accompanied him, murdered by Sasuke’s own ruthless hands. Determined to end his suffering, her own, and that of everyone in the village—even if it cost her life—Sakura resolved to act.
However, as she tried to confront him, she was suddenly captured by the man in the orange mask, known as Madara Uchiha. Now, isolated from everything and everyone, Sakura finds herself trapped in a dark chamber within a distorted space-time. There, her pain resonates with an enemy who harbors dark secrets, ensnaring her in an intricate web of lies that threatens everything she thought she knew about the world.

This Gilded Cage We Built by ErykaOnyx
Fandoms: Helluva Boss (Web Series), Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
13 Jul 2025

Summary
A Goetia must always put their duty above all. This is what Stolas tells himself after learning about his non-negotiable marriage so he prepares to make the best of the situation and fulfill his obligations. Stella is a child with flowery dreams of wedding bells and domestic harmony, less concerned with demonic duty and more focused on the glitz and comfort she will reap from her match. Fundamentally incompatible and foolishly optimistic, the two are thrown together and forced to walk a path that would lead to their eventual collapse and dissolution.
(*A look at the childhoods and early days of marriage from Stella and Stolas.)

au where striker is not a colossal hypocrite by the_cursed_queen_xoxo

Summary
Stella may have won the custodial battle between her and Stolas, but that doesn't change a lot of things for her.
She still burns with jealousy when she thinks about how quick Stolas's little imp took him in and now they’re a happily married couple, despite their challenges. She doesn't have anyone to be happy with.
Octavia knows Stella is responsible for her father's downfall and she's become ice-cold towards her.
Now that Andrealphus is dating Vassago, he doesn't have much time for Stella.
Stella finds herself becoming more and more depressed, until one day a familiar cowboy imp pops up and asks her out.
**********
[Canon!Striker is colossal hypocrite, claiming “i HaTe RoYaLs😤” and then shamelessly kissing Stella’s and Andrealphus’s asses. And if he actually IS dating Stella… oh gosh. So here’s an AU where Striker actually means what he says.]Bookmarked by ThisBirdWithoutACage
