Summary
Never got around to finishing the game, but want to know what happened? Too nervous to play the notoriously difficult FromSoftware title but interested in exploring the lore and eldritch horror of the Bloodborne Universe? Completed the game but now nothing makes sense!?
Delve back into the streets of Yharnam and follow in the footsteps of the Good Hunter as they strive to transcend the hunt and bring peace not only to their soul but to the very depths of the limitless cosmos. A beast burns in the central square, the townsfolk are hostile to foreign footsteps, and there is only one last night separating the hunter from their prey. Can you escape Yharnam with your humanity intact, or will you flee the city with the tattered remnants of your soul?
I have tried to include as much of the game’s lore as possible and tie it together into a cohesive story while retaining much of the original mystery (and adding my own personal flair!)
In an attempt to stick closely to the story, this fic follows the events from the game, while also incorporating some generally accepted fan theories.
A love letter to one of the best games ever created.

Summary
Don’t get me wrong, I love Dazai but I really felt for Yoshiko, who in the original ‘No Longer Human’ is treated like a stupid, virginal bimbo with little agency of her own. I wanted to come up with a less sexist explanation for her naivete and settled on making her a very practical woman with no time for amusements - quite the opposite of Yōzō’s love of useless bridges (“When later I discovered that the bridge was nothing more than a utilitarian device, I lost all interest in it.” - No Longer Human)

Summary
If you like a lot of twists and turns, innocent characters emotionally tortured more than they deserve and a big dose of unreliable narrator then this might be for you. My take on A Tale of Two Sisters set in the Lands Between. Psychological horror-drama.
Series
- Part 1 of A Tale of Two Sisters

Summary
(Aka; Deny Us Eyes)
A fic exchange with apotheosizing, who requested something about Fausefka, Eileen, Maria or Yurie. I already had a fic about Yurie, and I couldn't quite fit Maria into the final story, so it became a kind of reflective conversational scene between a doctor and her patient. Also a little lore for the Blacksky Eye in-game item. It asks all the important questions, such as: "Can a hunter of hunters hunt a mad doctor?" and "Please, why won't you take my eyes?"

Summary
A later retelling of the events around Cao Song’s death, written by Wei officials in the reign of Cao Pi and added as a supplemental chapter to the Romance by Ming dynasty courtiers. Popular among women of the palace, it is part of the “Apricot Blossom Wreath”, a collection of histories and stories from the Three Kingdoms period which were either written by women or contained political content such that they were not considered relevant to include in the main narrative. They did, however, remain immensely popular with the Hidden Court despite Apricot Blossom stories being regarded as seditious and unfilial by the ruling elite. As a collection, Apricot Blossom stories were mostly written in the reigns of Cao Pi and Cao Rui but some have been dated to the later Tang and Yuan dynasties.

Summary
Not so much an additional chapter but more of a retelling of the famous events surrounding Liu Bei’s cannibalism. Stories containing elements of the supernatural, horror and the occult were popular among women during the Wei and Jin dynasties and continue to be a theme of women’s literature in China to the present day. Adding supernatural reasoning to a famous narrative, and also in this case a clear portrayal of female empowerment and vengeance against a misogynistic husband, was a way for women to share their experiences with one another. Strangely for this genre, it includes a positive portrayal of peasant women and a rather reproachful moral to the story. One particular manuscript currently on display at the National Museum of China was discovered tied around an arrow, for unknown reasons.

Summary
Before all this Constantine TV and movie malarkey, rewind the clock. Back, further, further... that's it. Old, pure Hellblazer. Late eighties, post-punk, anti-Thatcherite con jobs and the odd bit of magic. John has yet to get lung cancer and spends his time wandering the acetate and hand-coloured pages looking for trouble. In this story, he found it in bloody Wales, of all places.
