  1. Summary

    oh holy father, blessed be thy name.

    (oh treacherous sinner, scorned be thy face.)

    oh righteous angel, won't you stay a while, here in the haven of havens?

    (oh devilish traitor, won't you stay a while, here in the belly of the beast?)

    jonah ran. and where did he sink?

    into the stomach of a whale.

    knowledge split. and where did they fall?

    into hell.

    because what else could this place be, this wretched, cold world that insists they stay apart?

    they will find their way back to each other. but until then-

    (waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness.)

    -until then, they will burn, as is their penance.

  2. Summary

    "am I in love with just a theme?"

    rise up, snake-child. your time has come.

    "or is the Savior just a dream?"

    be not afraid, empyrean serpent. your time has passed.

    ~

    worlds die, stars collapse, black holes implode. no matter what you do, you can't fight finality. the universe will someday wheeze its last breath, a shuddering current swirling with dust from a bygone cosmos. and at the end of it all, I will be waiting for you, waiting on that beloved train that whisked us away to a world of magic and wonder and lies. leave the monochromatic station behind, my beloathed, and come sit next to me in the gleaming red compartment of untruths.

    your missing parts are here, too, perfectly shaped so you can slot right in again. it's missed you. I've missed you. did you think I would ever forget the shape of your soul?

    come closer, oh darling mine. our prophesied home is waiting just underneath my mind. go on, trace the pattern, and all will be well. trust me, indulge me, keep me. whatever you want, just so long as you bind us together again.

    I promised 'till death do us apart, didn't I? and we are not quite dead yet.

  3. Summary

    The Family Jewels is a collection of Black Family-centric fics I've dreamed up. From a sentient Grimmauld Place, to spooky ghosts of Black ancestors, to Narcissa gatekeeping, gaslighting, and girlbossing, a lot of disturbingly niche fics will be dumped here.

    !Most of these are not canon compliant and aren't written that well so don't read these if you're looking for canon or cohesive plot!

    Summary

    Voldemort, unexpectedly short on money and growing tired of both Wormtail's existence and Nagini's incessant pleas to eat the wizard, has a most brilliant idea: crowdfunding, and the first reward tier is a livestreamed broadcast of Nagini getting her wish. It is a massive success - and the people demand more.

    Said 'people' just so happens to include one Boy-Who-Lived.

    Summary

    Harry Potter was lost. He had served his purpose and disposed of Voldemort. He had died for the cause, without thinking about it. But now that the brunt of the fighting was over, he had to face whatever awaited him in the aftermath. Or at least, he should have faced it, but did not. His cowardice forced him to hide in his godfather's childhood home, in hopes for avoiding both the public and his worried friends. He could not bare to face his guilt, nor could he do anything to rid himself of it. He was a conflicted man who was desperate for anything that would take his mind off of things.

    Enter; the Deathly Hallows. Sentient Artefacts of old times that have seemingly chosen him as their master.

    Had this distance between the Hallows and himself caused his emotional tumult or had he genuienly messed up all of his friendships by himself? Who knew? But some day, he swore to fix everything. But first he needed time to heal, far away from Britian. Harry never expected to get another shot at true happiness, at a family, when he left to see the world, but here it was.
    This time, he must fight for it. Protect it at all cost.

    Summary

    Jing Yuan receives a fatal blow, but instead of passing on peacefully to the afterlife, he regains consciousness to find himself transported into the past, before the Quintet had formed.

    This second chance he resolves to live without regrets, to prevent the tragedies to come, and to pursue his first loves.

    Aka I had Feels about Jing Yuan being…kind of left behind in the past after 1.2. Wrote this to comfort myself.

    Note: This is our present day in-game aged Jing Yuan transported into the past. I conveniently made no existing Jing Yuan present in that “alternate universe”.

    Summary

    Childe has feelings for Zhongli. Zhongli has feelings for Childe.

    Things could be so easy, but not when you're a fatui harbinger with abyssal taint and a literal god. Both of them having to deal with their difficult pasts and presents, on top of their obvious differences and their own insecurities. Because if you ask either of them? There's simply no way that the object of their affection could ever have feelings for them. Not after everything they've done in their past.
