    Summary

    When a celestial body forms, its soul manifests as a dragon, and seeks out the nearest inhabited planet to hunt upon. The moon dragon's power is cataclysmic on Earth, as she draws her strength from the gravitational force which creates the ocean’s tides.

    Thousands of years ago, a violent king cursed a fragment of the moon; anyone who held it had the dragon’s perfect obedience. The king used her as a weapon, destroying countless lives in his conquests.

    After the king’s death, his heir decided such a weapon was inhumane for war, but too valuable to relinquish; The dragon was commanded to remain in her prison beneath the kingdom forever.

    Enraged, she began to kill any human who entered her cell. Rather than command her to stop, the royal family found her to be an efficient executioner, and an effective threat to dissenters.

    When Lyra is sent into the dragon’s cell, fear conflicts with empathy, as both have suffered at the same hands.

    Summary

    A retelling of the Fifth Holy Grail War in which Rin summons Saber as her servant instead of Archer. It is a mixture of the "Heaven's Feel" route from the original game and original plot elements. This version of Fate/Stay Night focuses primarily on Rin and Saber's relationship while also exploring the themes of familial expectation, duty, gender, and sexuality.

    Some of this fanfic was posted some time ago, but this is the completely reworked, director's cut version which will be posted in full with refined lore, tons of additional passages and interactions, and all new chapters. Ultimately, beyond the first few chapters, it is almost an entirely new fanfic from the original.

    Summary

    To the people around her, Lya is only the mistress of a war hero, the man who killed the king of Saren and ended the war between their kingdoms. What they do not know is how close to that decisive moment Lya was, or the role she played in it. Lya has spent the seven years since the end of the war hiding in Kressos, concealing her past and her identity. Now, circumstance pulls her back to Saren, to the place where the king was murdered, and as Lya returns to the nation she once called home, she begins to hear the call of something bigger and more powerful than any king: that of the Winter Wolf.

    Summary

    In most towns out west, they’re just stories. Devils and ghosts and other such spirits are talked ‘bout ‘round campfires or over drinks, tall tales to spook those who don’t know better than to believe them. In most towns, a dead animal or a missin’ child is generally the work of coyotes. In most towns, rules can be broken, laws can be ignored, if you’ve got brains enough or bullets enough to keep from gettin’ strung up or shot down.
    Lily Lake ain’t one of those towns.
