Summary
Orym is a prince. Dorian is a runaway.
Their paths cross in Zephrah.
-
“I didn’t know you were a guard,” he says, and there’s something in his voice that Dorian almost mistakes for disdain. It doesn’t match his expression, though, so he tries to brush it aside.
“Recent development,” Dorian answers, smile faltering. “Is- is something wrong?”
“What-,” Orym starts, confused, then shakes his head, “No, no, I just- thought I knew all the guards.”
At that, it’s Dorian’s turn to look confused. Orym spots it and shrugs before explaining.
“You know, I am the prince."

Summary
Please note: AU from C3 Ep7!
Dorian, Orym, and their friends travel to the small town of Marren's Eve, following rumors of the Silken Squall being sighted nearby. Their plan is simple: deliver Cyrus Wyvernwind back to the safety of his home, rank, and family after his recent trials. But of course, in life even the simplest and most foolproof plans have a way of getting complicated...
As the circumstances change, and it begins to look like he and his friends will need to enter the Silken Squall after all, Dorian fears that he will be swept back up into the gilded cages of his childhood home alongside his brother - only this time, he may never be able to leave again.

Hanzo and Cole are on a top-secret reconnaissance mission in the industrialized wasteland of post-Crisis North Dakota, hunkered down in a factory ill-fit for human occupation. Cole seems fine with the situation, but Hanzo's doubts extend far beyond their little room.

Summary
It isn't often that Jesse finds himself forgetting important events, but when he does it never turns out well for him. Like that time he forgot Genji's birthday, and the younger Shimada brother brought it up at every possible opportunity to get what he wanted.
This time Jesse has a sinking feeling that it's a little more than a birthday. A lot more than just a birthday, but really, what can happen in three months? Surely he didn't forget much.
The way Hanzo looks at him makes Jesse want to tear his hair out just to remember.

Summary
Some nights, Caleb Widogast can look in the mirror and he does not see a monster. Some nights Caleb Widogast looks in the mirror and punches it until his knuckles bleed until the mirror shatters until everything is stained red, red, red with blood that won’t wash any of the sins he has committed clean. Some nights Caleb Widogast cannot look in the mirror.
Jester wore her cheery over-excitable nature like armor, wielding it when she thought people she cared about needed to be made happier or using it as a shield for herself to cover up her own worry. Jester Lavorre worried a lot.
Caduceus had fathomless pink eyes that seemed to x-ray everything about anyone Cad ever met, knowing what they needed and he always seemed so eager to provide it. Beau had told Caleb once that she was worried his demeanor was a shield, that he was “kind of more of a mess than he lets on, y’know?” Caleb agreed with her.- Language:

Summary
Veth squeezed his hand gently and patted the back. “I’ve gotta pay bail first. Then we can get you out.” She whispered, forlorn, and placed a dry peck of the lips on his knuckles.
The boy still didn’t answer her. His fear was still a mask over his face, and Veth looked at it with a frown.
“I won’t hurt you, my boy.” She whispered. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”
I wanted an alternate backstory where Veth meets a Feebleminded Bren and takes him in. And since they say ”God helps those who help themselves”, I just went ahead and started making it myself. Enjoy.

Summary
Urban fantasy Nicodranas where most of the MN escaped to, after dealing with whatever trauma they have, and many of them have gotten some well needed help at Pumat Sol's trauma group therapy sessions. Caleb and Nott found Yussa, Jester, Yasha, and Caduceus in Nicodranas and everything is softer (and in firm denial of ep 26, even with recent events in ep 111). Found family is the best family, especially when you think you murdered your birth family.
Basically, my otp is Caleb Widogast and therapy, and in this essay I will...

Summary
Cole has a shaky relationship with the concept of a higher power, but he’s pretty sure the universe is fucking with him. There’s no other way to explain why this keeps happening.

Summary
“Caleb -- you realize I like you right?”
Caleb spluttered as he bent over to pick up his can of beans. “I -- ah -- well, I suppose -- ja, erm. It’s just we, ah, have not known each other very long,” he explained, feeling his Zemnian accent slip through. “Compared to the others in our little group, I mean.”
Mollymauk laughed that laugh. The laugh that meant he knew he had embarrassed Caleb. And Caleb couldn’t help but blush even redder.
“Well, a couple weeks in quarantine together should rectify that situation, doncha think?”
--
When a pandemic sweeps through Exandria, Caleb figures he can just hole up in his apartment with his books until it all blows over. That is, until he gets a call from one Mollymauk Tealeaf in need of a place to stay. It'll only be a couple weeks, right?Bookmarked by gilraenstar

Summary
What do you get when you take an excitable blue tiefling, her dodgy human roommate, her quiet aasimar friend, her half-orc boyfriend, his weird tiefling roommate, and mix them together with a nervous wizard and a lovably scruffy goblin?
They aren't sure either, but they're willing to find out.
(or: a modern AU where the M9 are young adults set loose in a big big city chock full of everyday annoyances, tons of magic, growing relationships, and an abundance of secrets.)
