  2. Summary

    Premise: Gregory Edgeworth's spirit was channeled by Bodi Fey, an uncle of Maya's who was previously thought to have close to zero spiritual strength. The channeling happened right as Bodi was shot in heart, so the spirit's presence is what is keeping him alive. because there were doctors and policemen asking questions, Phoenix gave them the name of Bodi Fey, and since then Gregory had kept the charade up for most of the world. Phoenix's closest know that Bodi is, in fact, a spirit, but who he really is they do not have the faintest.
    The only man who knows Gregory Edgeworth's true identity is Manfred von Karma, recently released from prison on parole.

    Gregory and Manfred upon their first post DL-6 meeting enter a very badly negotiated but definitely heated physical relationship while they both try to figure out their place in a world that's moved on without them.

    Mix of depressive musing, language yoga, silly shenanigans and porn.

  3. Summary

    As the tin says, this is a series of Vignettes from my "Hell Mark arc" story.
    Currently the Hell Mark arc is so full of plot holes that I can't really write a coherent story together, but basically Hell is not as safe from being the centre of serious shit going down as its inhabitants thought. Whether Ichigo Kurosaki develops Hell powers in the process remains to be seen.
    Besides, this is not just about Ichigo. This is mostly about the people who have decided that being dead does not stop them from saving the world. Or at least kicking some serious arses.
    The Vignettes serve as a cover-up for the lack of coherent plot. Hopefully as I write these, I'll figure out what the [bleep] is happening.

    Captain Kurotsuchi gets laid.

  5. Summary

    This series is a "playthrough" of the Dragon Age game series with a twist take on the Modern Girl In Thedas trope. Narrated in first person it follows the Oracle, a young woman from modern Earth transported into Thedas through unknown means who's derailed the history on the eve of the Battle of Ostagar which starts the events of Dragon Age: Origins. The world is forever changed and yet the same.

    Summary

    One blustery morning, a short note arrives on Downey's desk that says: Patrician. Sektober 13. Soon after Vetinari receives an old newspaper clipping about the death of a colleague's father that occurred forty years ago. It doesn't take long for things to go a little wahoonie shaped with a dead girl in a tree, a two hundred year old mystery, and a creature stalking the streets of Ankh-Morpork.

    Of course, throughout all of this, Vetinari is fending off unsolicited advice from his aunt (buy a lint roller!) and begins to worry that he might be developing an approximation of something like maybe feelings, for a limited value of feelings, for one Master of the Assassins Guild.

    Naturally, nothing is every entirely straight forward and some families have old secrets.

    Summary

    You're a cop. You're a disco superstar. You're Garrett J. Hawke, and you came here to make Lowtown Harbor your bitch.

    There's also a dead body floating in the harbor, and apparently you are the detective who's supposed to figure out why it's there. Tensions are rising. The City of Chains will have her due. It looks like your smokin' hot finger guns are about to get a whole lot of action.

    Summary

    I saw a headcanon floating around where Stronghart was Maria Gorey's biological father and wanted to write something to see how that would play out potentially.

    Summary

    This is another 3am idea I've been torturing my friends with for a few weeks and now I'm putting it out here.

    It's a soulmate AU where geese chase you to your soulmate.

    That's it. Geese chase them. Then they're locked in a room together. It repeats.

    How will it end? Who knows?

    Summary

    It is early days of this thing called a ReLaTiOnShIp(?) between Downey and Vetinari--all very new, Vetinari would like to note that emotions are a bug and not feature. Downey is here to smoke a lot of cigarettes and be dramatic about things. However, the untimely murder of Downey's brother-in-law puts a bit of a wrench in things, made worse by the announcement that his (estranged) father may or may not be dying soon. All deeply inconvenient for everyone involved. There are parallels of past and present because families are a sticky business, always, and things that happened thirty years ago have a strange ability to cycle back through your life.

    [I have rewritten Thus, Always because I wanted to finish the story but had left it too long to pick it back up and start where I left off, so I just redid the whole thing. There are differences between the OG Thus, Always and this one. This one still works within the broader AU timeline of Murder Flat stories etc.]
