Summary
When the White King discovers that the Red Queendom intends to assassinate his only daughter, he trusts Jest to act as the princess' guard. The White Queen does not want her daughter to feel frightened, so she suggests Jest court the princess and attribute his proximity to her as affection rather than a means of protection (she's giddy to see them get along!). When Jest hesitates to agree to this arrangement, the White Queen makes this promise: if he marries Princess Lily, he can leave his Rook duties behind him.
But what if the princess knew how to protect herself? Jest's mind races: with a new Queen, they could end the war. With the war over, he could live a life of ease... the life he’s always wanted. And without having to marry a stranger.
Jest's life may have ended in the land of Hearts, but this is his life as a Rook (and jester?) in Chess.!!! The story is finished! New chapters drop Tuesday and Friday! !!!

Summary
When King Daeron the Good sends Prince Baelor Targaryen to Highgarden for the tournament that is to decide who gets Maria Tyrell’s hand, no one expects the visit to change the fate of three lives.
Baelor finds in Maria a girl who sees beyond the prince, the heir, and the burden of duty. Maria finds in him a loving witness for everything she wishes to be. And Lyonel Baratheon, wild, loyal, and with time impossible to ignore, becomes not the storm she once feared, but one that refuses to let her disappear into the life chosen for her.
As years go by, love, marriage, duty, scandal, and power bind them together in ways none of them can escape. As old decisions begin to bleed into the future of the Reach and the Iron Throne, Maria must learn what it means to be daughter, wife, mother, heir and above else — herself.
What once seemed sacred must mature into life stripped from fantasy. And for it to happen, a lot of it has to die.
Duty that once stand in their way is the very thing that must bind them together.
A story of impossible love, political consequence, loyalty, womanhood, and the bitter truth that all three of them have to learn the hard way – one need not intend harm to do it.

Summary
“To live in this world you must be able to do three things: To love what is mortal; To hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, To let it go.” (Mary Oliver)
Tavi grew up on a small, rural farm in the Tevinter Imperium. He and his family laboured for their daily bread; spent holy days at the local temple; and enjoyed the fruits of the seasons, living humbly but happily in their slice of paradise.
Then, a magister came through their little village. In his wake, he wrought upon Tavi's world a wave of misery worse than any blight.
Fifteen years pass. Octavian has clawed his way from the hellish imprisonment that had been thrust upon him, far colder a man than he had been when he first saw the walls of a cell. Imbued with vengeful purpose, he plans to seek justice for the wrongs committed against him: and if justice cannot satisfy him, he will settle for blood.
(Covers Tevinter Nights, Veilguard, and an epilogue.)

Summary
Isagi Yoichi thought he was just a normal, slightly awkward college student who loved his sister.
That's what he thought.
Everyone else thought he was perfect. Smart, kind, dependable, and admired by, juniors, and friends alike, Yoichi had no idea half the campus was obsessed with him. Not to mention his seniors friends are DOWN BAD.
What nobody knew was that he was Voidrunner, an assassin who worked alone in the underworld. Ironically, many of his closest friends were assassins too. Unlike Voidrunner, however, the Nightsworn served a secret criminal organization involved in everything from assassination to smuggling and illegal trade. While Voidrunner works alone and only kills, Nightsworn is the opposite.
Same underworld. Different rules.
Every lie has an expiration date.
Can Isagi Yoichi keep his identity hidden from his family and friends before his two worlds inevitably collide?
But they had no faintest fucking clue he did that job just to buy fucking instant noodles.

Summary
“My Eleventh.” Her tone softened. “You understand, then, what I am asking of you? This operation will not be easy, nor will it be quick.“
All too well, as Tartaglia had never been known as one to accept the easiest option, anyway.
“I understand, Your Majesty. Your will is mine.”
~
After a career-ending injury, Tartaglia, the Eleventh Harbinger, is sent to Liyue under the guise of a new concubine within the Imperial Harem to investigate the rumors of an assassination plot against the Emperor. Fighting off assassins, he could do, but pretending to be a concubine? Not so much.

Summary
When Shigure tripped over a mysterious notebook on the sidewalk, he had no idea just what he had stumbled upon. What he found inside was a lengthy fantasy story, and he, of course, thought he had just found a perfect excuse to use when his editor would soon be demanding an explanation on why his latest manuscript was still incomplete: he could not possibly write while reading the masterpiece of another author.
But when he got home and opened it up, he discovered the location names were written in a strangely shimmering "glitter ink". He couldn't help himself. He tapped one of the locations with his finger.
He immediately found himself in another world; confused, lost, and no way home. He was in the town named by the story!
He didn't know he was soon going to meet people that would completely change his life forever, and that he was going to somehow help them survive something so much bigger than all of them.

Summary
As Crown Princess of Piltover, diplomatic voyages to other nations are a normal part of Caitlyn's life. She is rarely alone and never far from her core group of elite guards who are tasked with keeping her safe.
As a newly-knighted member of the princess' Queensguard, Vi may be less comfortable with long voyages at sea but her duty is one she believes in. The Piltovan royal family has plenty of enemies and Vi is under no illusions of how closely Zaun's fate is tied to its sister nation; if anything were to happen to her charge, the consequences would be far-reaching.
An attempt on Caitlyn's life puts everything Vi has learned to the test. Alone and unprepared, they must return Caitlyn home safely or Piltover loses its sole heir. It's up to Vi to ensure she survives the long journey, and it won't be easy with the would-be assassins still at large.
Of course, neither of them considers the other challenge they face: maintaining the strict boundaries of Princess and Sworn Knight as they share more than just the road ahead and their nightly campfires...

Summary
“Hello sir, have you got a light?”
Sky turns around and sees a man walking in his direction with a thin, innocent smile, the hands in his pockets. Something in his stance sends alarms in Sky’s mind. He recognises a predator when he has one in front of him. Nervously, he steps back to where the non-remlit disappeared.
The man notices his behaviour and his smile widens. Oh, Sky thinks, it’s that sort of predator. The kind who will play with his prey, let it think it can go smoothly, that it’s just a normal conversation between two gentlemen.

Eight strangers come to town. Twilight has to cope with it.
Oh, and someone tries to kill the princess.
