    Summary

    A squad was sent to Copper-9 to help eliminate all Worker Drones. For a long while, they followed the orders of their parent company. But one night, when the feelings of guilt and remorse become too much for the team leader, he makes an important decision:

    His squad goes rogue.

    And now, acting like pseudo-Gods to the bunkers nearest to their home, they spend their days relaxing, hunting, surviving, fighting (with each other), and eventually...

    Getting to know a Worker Drone girl who came to give them their weekly offerings.

    Summary

    Centuries ago, the whole planet was submerged in water, and the life on Earth evolved in order to adapt to it. The humans were the exact same, now living on boat cities and riding the waves as they try to continue where the previous ground humans once walked on dirt and concrete.

    Uzi Doorman is one of the ocean humans, born long after the sudden floods of unknown origin. And she has a plan on killing a sea beast in order to prove her weapon works!

    If the... Other... Colossal... Pissed... Out-for-her-blood sea beast she maaaaayy have accidentally shot doesn't kill her first...

    Summary

    Left to die in the woods after her paranoid father was overthrown, Uzi awaits whatever form death will take her in. She expects it to be either being torn apart by the monsters living in the forest, or starvation. Either way, she knows she doesn't have long.

    That was, until a sleepy wyvern descended from the skies, curious as to why she was all caged up.

    Summary

    Since Arryn learned the truth of his nature and the barest hint of his past, he’s been trying to endear himself to her by any means necessary. And considering the frequency of their… ethical disagreements, his personality alone likely won’t be enough to get him there. He’s made some subtle attempts to feel out her interest, and she’s always volleyed them right back with a wry comment and a knowing look. She never seems particularly impressed.

    But if ever there were an opportunity to take the unsubtle approach and run with it as far as he could, it’d be right now.

    An alternate timeline to Between friends, wherein I imagine how it would go between Astarion and my normally high-WIS druid, Arryn, if she’d been drunk enough to hook up with him all the way back at the tiefling party. And what would happen after, because nothing is ever that simple.

    From Astarion’s POV.

    Started as a one-shot, now a bigger multi-chapter thing. Slow burn after chapter one.

    Summary

    "Astarion!" She's white with horror, frozen. Siobhan makes no attempt to hide her near nakedness. He's already seen too much.

    As he gets closer, he can see countless faint white lines crisscrossing beneath the fresh cuts, decades of self-mutilation. This is not the first time she's done this.

    "You mustn't tell the others," she begs, tears flowing freely down her face. "Please, they wouldn't understand."

    Astarion doesn't know how to respond, struck dumb by what he's caught her doing and her request. Siobhan's eyes search his face frantically, trying to divine what he's thinking and what he'll do next. With a start, he realizes they're playing out the inverse of the night he'd tried to drink from her. Now, he's the one being asked to protect a horrible secret.

    But he can hardly focus on what to do next, all thoughts deafened by the sound of her throbbing heartbeat pounding in his ears and the pungent smell of her blood flooding his nostrils.

    - - - -

    Bloodletting is a remedy that is hardly possible to estimate too highly. Or that's what they say. Siobhan has enough darkness in her past that maybe a little bloodletting is called for. Unbeknownst to her, Astarion is more than happy to oblige.
