Summary
10 years ago Eloise's father struck a bargain with Enver Gortash that would bind them in an arranged marriage. Eloise, a Szarkai bard raised on the surface, was never informed of this arrangement, and hidden away by her mother until she was found and Gortash laid claim.
*****
Eloise stood at the threshold of the ceremonial hall, her long, flowing white hair cascading down her back like a silvery waterfall. Her porcelain skin seemed to glow in the dim torchlight, and her crimson eyes gleamed with an intensity that belied her petite, delicate frame. She knew that the next few hours would change her life irrevocably, and despite the confident facade she wore, a storm of emotions raged within her. -

"Your new guard dog refused to let me wait here for you, alone," Lisbeth purred, "Maybe he thinks I'm a threat, come to assassinate you in the middle of the night?"
Enver chuckled softly, his fingers reaching out to gently trace the curve of Lisbeth's jaw. "Would he be wrong?"

"It's a beauty, aye, that one. Custom built," the enigmatic shopkeeper of Bits & Bots purred with a sly grin, his eyes twinkling like stars on a moonless night.
"He certainly is eye-catching," Gale mused, entranced by the angelic visage of the companion in its dormant state. Clad in nothing but pristine white linen pants, it knelt in the display window, hands resting delicately upon its lap, a silent sentinel of otherworldly beauty.
Android/Companion/Pleasure bot AU.

Enver glanced at Lisbeth, a grin forming on his blood-smeared face. "You're really enjoying this, aren't you?"
Lisbeth chuckled as she lunged forward, her dagger slicing through a demon's chest. "You could say that. It's like a dance, a deadly waltz with devils."

The Trial of Shen Qingqiu by Teriel
Fandoms: 人渣反派自救系统 - 墨香铜臭 | The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
20 Apr 2026
Tags
Summary
When Shen Qingqiu is put on public trial for murder, Huan Hua Palace unveils a memory artefact to expose his past before the entire cultivation world.
The cultivation world wants him condemned. Huan Hua Palace wants a spectacle. And with a device capable of dragging the past into the light, they are certain they will get both. The verdict has already been written on every face in the room.
But Shen Qingqiu knows there are fates worse than being called a murderer. There are truths he has survived only by burying. And once the memories begin, the trial becomes something far worse than judgment: not proof, but exposure. Because hidden in Shen Qingqiu’s past is one truth more private than shame, more dangerous than scandal, and far harder to survive than the accusations themselves.

Summary
High Fantasy/Science Fiction AU.
The cot looked like a death trap. It was held together by a bunch of leather straps connected to a metal frame. Even with a mattress put on top it looked like a torture device.
"If I die in the night, I will come back to haunt you," Wei Wuxian said, eyeing it.
"It is not for you," Lan Wangji said.
"What? I'm a prisoner. Of course I'm taking the cot."
"You are a guest and you are taking the bed."
"I'm not taking the bed. Come on, I can't let you sleep on that. If you die everyone will blame me."
"I will not die."

Bookmarker's Notes
Werewolf WWX is transported to another world of fantasy magic where he meets Cultivator/mage LWJ.
It's a mystery, drama and totally sweet story which I will reread often.

Summary
Lan Wangji lifts his head to press his lips to Xiao-Hei's forehead, the kiss an expression of all the affection he has to offer.
“Prrt?” Xiao-Hei says, and stretches, and—
The weight on Lan Wangji increases abruptly, and his hands aren't touching soft fur anymore, they're touching soft skin—bare skin—and he's looking down into Xiao-Hei's yellow, slitted eyes, though not into Xiao-Hei's little cat face, but the face of a man.
A beautiful, startled, very naked man.
Or: Lan Wangji finds himself with a stray cat he didn't want, then a stray cultivator he pretends not to want, and then a stray boyfriend he definitely wants.
