    Summary

    Louis de Pointe du Lac has spent nearly eighty years moving through the modern world—immortal, experienced, and still haunted by New Orleans. When fate drags him back home, it’s supposed to be simple: a final sacrament for what’s left of his mortal bloodline.

    It doesn’t stay simple.

    Old magic stirs in familiar streets, the past sharpens into a confrontation with Armand, and—because New Orleans never allows quiet endings—Lestat chooses Mardi Gras to stage a massive concert that turns the city into a glittering fever dream of music and temptation.

    But beneath the beads, brass bands, and celebration, something darker is taking root: a vampire cult with an ancient connection, recruiting in the shadows and shifting the city’s supernatural balance.

    Louis is pulled into the hunt not because he wants to be… but because the threat is real, the history is personal, and no one knows New Orleans—its churches, cemeteries, alleys, and secrets—better than Louis de Pointe du Lac.

    Summary

    The crux of it is something small, the choice to leave and save himself or stay and offer protection to those too vulnerable to protect themselves. Scott knew that the choice would change him, no matter which he decided to do, that it meant everything for who he would become.

    He chose to stay, and it meant everything and nothing. He chose to hold onto the pieces of him that remembered being human, being a protector.

    He didn't know that it was more than just his future hanging in the balance.

    *

    Scott chooses to care back in the beginning, before he ever saw Oakhurst or met any of the people who would eventually be there. It makes all the difference but changes very little. At first.

    Summary

    After the Battle of the Five Armies, Thranduil sent Legolas north for a different reason.
    "Find him. Teach him. Judge him. If the line of Isildur shall rise again, let it rise under the eyes of the Woodland Realm. See whether the young man seeks a crown, or whether he might make amends."

    Summary

    Abolish waits.
    He waits through centuries, through the coming and goings of people, through massacres, through empty silence. He waits because he’s not one to leave a job unfinished, because the overtime payout will be extraordinary, because he’s not disloyal and impatient like his lord’s fickle fledglings and friends.
    Eventually, it occurs to him that any sane person would have left long ago, money or professionalism be damned. So why does he still wait?

    Based on Abolish’s initial character concept as Scott’s butler!

    Summary

    Scott Boralith arrived at the Dragon Academy with one desperate goal: survive the trials, bond with a beast, and find a way to stop the pale corruption consuming his northern home of Tegrith. But Scott is hiding a secret he doesn't even know he possesses. The biting cold of the North was the only thing keeping the rot within him at bay, and now, miles away in the sweltering heat of the Academy, the corruption is beginning to thaw.

    As Scott battles for his life in a gauntlet of fire and judgment, he discovers he has the power to silence the world around him, a "hush" that brings him peace. With his childhood companion Pyro watching from afar and misinterpreting his physical decline as a bitter grudge, Scott must navigate a deadly new world before his secret, and the rot inside him, consumes everything he’s trying to save.
