Summary
Based off this Tumblr text post by s4mm4n:
God I miss the days when you could show up to a strangers farm and he’d say “Whats your name, boy?” and you’d take off your hat and hold it to your chest to better let him see your face and reply “Why I aint got one sir, on account of my mammy passed on before she could give me one” and he’d tell you he’s real damn sorry to hear that and ask what he can do for you and you’d tell him that you can’t read nor even write neither but you’re mighty good with horses and can mend them fallen fence posts what you saw on your way in and won’t ask for nothing much more than a hot meal and a warm barn to sleep in and he’d keep his wife and daughters inside but send his boy who aint for married even though his mama tells him he needs a woman out with a lantern and some stew at night and the two of you’d get to talking and he’d throw you his flask to take a swig from and watch you drinking from it while he leant against the door frame and when he finally got called back on up to the house again he’d take a sip from it too real slow-like like it weren’t the whiskey what he were tryna savorWARNING: Halfway through this story, it becomes about family loss and tuberculosis.

Summary
“Attached to your neck is a collar that will inject a poison into your jugular vein two days from now. Forcibly removing the device will also trigger the poison. Somewhere on this island is the antidote.”
His hands reached up to his neck and he felt the cool metal of the collar.
“Live or die. Make your choice.”

Summary
There is something amiss in Ketterdam.
To the Caracal, who’s always worn the grime and smog of the city as a sort of cloak, it should be of no concern. Yet strings are pulled, and an offer is put on the table: twenty million Kruge for the brutal bastard who can manage to scrape together a solution.
As the Bastard of the Barrel and lauded jewel of the city’s underbelly, it seems a heist is in order.
A Wraith. A sharpshooter, A Heartrender, a wayward son. A former witch hunter, a cat with claws that’ll grasp for anything within his reach- and some things outside of it.
Join the six on a journey to remember, filled with secrets, betrayal, and perhaps a little bit of good, old fashioned luck. This is Ketterdam as you’ve never seen before.
Welcome to the Hyacinth Heist.
[a soc!ph au. Hold onto your wigs. And also your valuables.]

Summary
Head Chef William Hawkes’ life is perfectly within his control. His kitchen runs like a well-oiled machine: predictable, orderly, consistent...
...right up until it’s upended by his charismatic and utterly unpredictable new sous-chef, Kym Ladell. With a penchant for improvisation and no formal training to speak of, she threatens to throw everything he’s worked so hard to achieve into turmoil.
They say that if you can’t stand the heat, you should get out of the kitchen. It’s unfortunate, then, that neither of them are the quitting type.

Summary
Moonlighter (n): a person who holds a second job (usually after hours)
Following a gruesome murder, a passionate prosecutor and a renowned defense attorney face off in the courtroom in a case where all evidence appears to point against the defendant. However, events are never as simple as they seem, and as evidence and corruption unravel, the truth appears to glisten more dangerously in the darkness than anyone could have ever imagined.
