Summary
Tal’iel (Tally) was not born; she was made. Forged by the Mother as her blade, she exists as a Sentinel to uphold the balance of the universe and carry out the Mother's will. When she is assigned to guard a young witch named Sarah Alder, it is meant to be another duty carried out from the shadows. Through Sarah, witchkind will be propelled into a new era, and Tal’iel will ensure she survives long enough to fulfill that fate.
For decades, Tal’iel watches, protects, and guides without ever being seen. Until she breaks the one rule that matters. She chooses love over the balance she was created to protect, turning her back on the very purpose that defines her.
The consequences are devastating. Torn away by the Mother and stripped from Sarah’s life, Tal’iel loses the only thing she has ever chosen for herself. Centuries later, as a new threat rises that endangers both witchkind and the Mycelium itself, she makes a choice that will cost her everything.
She returns to the mortal world. Not as the Mother’s blade. But as a Sentinel who has already fallen once. Ready to guard the women she was never supposed to love.

Summary
Nicte Batan wasn’t expecting much from Tally Craven’s hallucination; it was just a means to an end.
What she got instead was desire, fear, and a connection—all that led straight to General Sarah Alder.
This was how she would bring down her greatest enemy.
The perfect weapon had been handed to her by Sarah herself.
“I have such big plans for you, Red. I am sorry that it’s going to hurt.”

Summary
Twelve years after Alder’s death, Tally, Raelle, Abigail, Scylla, Khalida, and Adil stand as the last witches alive. The war is lost. Fort Salem has fallen. Witchkind has been hunted to the brink of extinction.
Their final stand against the Camerilla ends in blood and fire, courage spent against an enemy that was never meant to win. They fight anyway, until there is nothing left to give.
In the aftermath of their defeat, as the last echoes of witchwork fade from the world, the Mother appears. She offers them a single, impossible mercy: a chance to go back, to right the wrongs that led them here, to protect witchkind before it is too late, and to save the people they loved and lost.
Or
A time travel fix-it. Because Talder deserves to be happy, goddamnit.

Summary
“Quite some time? So, we’ve met before?” Tally whispered hesitantly, unsure she wanted the answer at the look of familiarity on the General’s face.
“Yes.” There’s a fond smile of recollection on the older woman’s face as she answers the redhead. The deep blue of the General’s aura almost sparkles with it.
“When?” The question squeaks out of terrified lips.
“The first time?” The older woman asks for clarification. Tally can only nod as she feels as though she’s just swallowed a hot coal. The General looks to the ceiling squinting, as if recalling a memory.
“It was 1679 in Eastern Europe, I was four.” General Alder tells her and Tally promptly chokes on her own saliva.

Summary
The third and final installment of The Fallen Series. (Favored Daughter) I am so sorry I kinda suck at summaries but if you like fallen angel fics I hope this is the series for you!
It hurt.
Leaving Fort Salem had hurt.
More than Sarah had been expecting it too.
Maybe it was because the base had been her home for so very long, before it was Fort Salem. Even if her home now sat next to her in the form of red hair and sleep laden eyes.Series

Summary
A familiar feeling washes over her, that calming shade of purple, the taste of whiskey on her tongue, dirt under her feet. Her breath catches in her throat. Something in Tally’s chest cracks, and she lets out a low whimper.
It can’t be, she thinks, this is a trick, it has to be. But the purple and gold grows bigger at the edges of her vision, and the ground rumbles with a familiar type of Work, so different from the Tarim Seeds that rock the earth closer to the compound.
She takes in a shaky breath and turns her head, guided by her sight once more. Oh Goddess. Sarah.
Or: Sarah Alder is born to a full moon, to a forest alight with life around her. There's fire in her eyes as she takes in the electricity arcing against her skin, her nails are too-sharp and her mouth hangs open like a starving wolf, like a predator. Without the Biddies and the Accords to temper her flames, she is ethereal and wild. -

Summary
(In the beginning, there is the Goddess.)
Tally's excited for Conscription day, how can she not be? She's finally going to be the soldier she's always wanted to be, and her mother won't get a chance to stop her. But as boots are stomping and General Alder finishes her speech, something in her cracks open, letting memories she shouldn't have rush through her veins.
Oh, she thinks, I remember.
(These seven, these souls who live and die and live again, the only things that stay constant in their years of life are each other and the Goddess. They live together, laugh together, love together, cry together, die together.)
