    Summary

    “My Maître would simply like the evening’s plans to go ahead without the reveal of a seam,” Armand simpers from his draped position on red velvet. “There’s much to discuss with the visiting provincial nobility he intends to host, as I’m sure you can imagine. Besides, at least the Prince is fairly predictable unlike some of our esteemed society fixtures. Even in these last years in titular exile, he has always been particular in his choice of accessory, has he not?”

    And, well.

    Louis would be hard pressed to deny that.

    “Always has liked himself a blue-eyed blond.”

    1787, Paris. Louis is a bourgeois man in the city with dreams of elevating his family name and securing his beloved siblings' futures through earning a title. While he has many businesses, it's his work as a pimp catering to the aristocrats of Versailles that he sees his path to social elevation, but when he falls fast and hard for Prince Magnus' prized courtesan, Lestat, things get - - complicated.

    Summary

    His dreams had fallen through his hands like stardust. Without anything more compelling to do with his life, he'd thrown in his lot with the little ragtag group of eco-terrorists attempting to overthrow a global megacorporation - and not just because of the strange, quiet man who lingered near the edges of everything. Now that the stakes had changed, he found himself attempting to save the world with them, instead.

    No one could say his life had been boring, at least. What else could Cid Highwind accomplish, if he set his mind to it?

    Summary

    [but to the tune of Janie's Got a Gun you're welcome]

     

    Vincent had a crush, then he got a phone, which has started him down a road toward genuine human connection that he is in no way prepared for. Aerith, his self-appointed friend and wingman (who may not be nearly as sweet and innocent as one would think, based on the dresses and flowers), is determined to steer her favorite ship on the right course!

    Summary

    Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
    - Psalms 119:105

    A sacrifice should not always be an end. Sometimes, with the right help, it doesn't have to be.

    Summary

    "Hades," he swallows, voice thick with barely contained pleasure, "This is not a healthy coping mechanism."

    "Is anything I do healthy?"

    Rebuilding Amaurot? Chasing shards of his dead lover? Fraternizing with mortals? Playing god? Elidibus supposes this is the healthiest attempt at coping Emet-Selch has.
