Summary
“So desperate for them to want you.” It whispers, hands colder than they ought to be pushing fabric aside until it can be pressed flush against him, a knee finding its way between his legs. “You’re shaking with it, all that anger, all that desire, all that fear that you’ll never get what you want—”
Duncan shoves it off, hears a twin crack and more laughter as it knocks into the pillar. He takes a step back, dizzy and breathing hard. “Stop that.”
“Oh but how could I,” the Trickster asks, “the smell of you, all tangled up and confused, so sweet.”
OR:
The Shadow Trickster follows Duncan back to his apartment in the Arcanum, and takes on a form it thinks he might find...appealing. -

Summary
Duncan can’t ignore it forever.
How badly he misses Cowan when he’s away.
How intense the wanting gets.…Maybe he should have been paying more attention to his surroundings.
But maybe the outcome was worth it…

Summary
It’s late enough when the knock comes that it sets off alarm bells in Duncan’s head. Dusk had come and gone and left for proper night, he’s only still here because he's close to done and would rather be up late than continue dealing with the stack of papers tomorrow.
The concern proves right when he opens the door to a terrified Darana Opalkeeper all but outright carrying Brecken Bittersweet. Both of them wet, Darana soaked in Shadow and blood, Brecken in a mix of the two and what Duncan recognizes as water from the Solar well of the Fountain.
“Help.”

Summary
A journey to follow the young wizard on their path from Savior of the Spiral, to the Scion of Bartleby.
To watch as they go from bright eyed child, to empty magical host.
The road of a savior is not one to be envied.
The path of a stranger plucked from another world, is not easy to walk.
Trapped between realms and belonging to neither.(Minor/moderate edits for clarity and consistency of my own lore as of 4/24/2025)

Summary
Every single death, every time he's cut down, he walks The Reverie again.
Every memory, over and over and over again, the path burned deep into Cowan's mind.
But he can't make it through it this time. Not on his own.
This time he won't have to.
He just wishes Duncan didn't have to see... everything.

Summary
This fic contains major spoilers for roughly the mid-point of the 2025 Darkmoor update.
They’re always the last one to know. It’s a bad habit. Ignorance and trust mean the same thing to deceivers.

Summary
It's been quiet for too long. Far too quiet. The Wizard doesn't know where the next threat is going to come from, only a vague idea of what. It's driven them crazy and back, and suddenly their vow to prepare and train makes no sense anymore. Wizard City feels too quiet to leave.
...It works for now, they suppose.

Summary
It’s three-seventeen in the morning. The lights in the Arcanum don’t buzz like fluorescents, they hum like mana and power. Break rooms are always mundane, but nothing in the Spiral ever was or ever will be.
