    Summary

    There was a locket around Astarion’s neck. It was a simple thing, made of sturdy gold, not too gaudy. It was also a gift from his master. Astarion doesn’t know his name. Only that he’s Astarion’s master, and sire.

    But he’s all alone in this wilderness now, far from his master and anything he can remember, and no one yet has hurt him. No one yet has told him what to do, either.

    ***

    Anoxic brain oxygen deprivation often lead to difficulty with memory and the ability to recall facts, informations, names, and the like. And to a dead boy who spent a whole night in a coffin before rising again, there’s nothing like the taste of dirt on the tongue to spin this tale.

    Summary

    One day, after five years of reasonably peaceful marriage with only a few kidnappings and sex pollen incidents, Shen Yuan is sent back to his old body without warning. Luo Binghe makes a deal with an alien entity calling itself the System to perform a mission in exchange for the ability to bring his husband home.

    The mission is simple; [Uncover secret transmigrator plotline and flesh out the character wiki!]

    At least it will be once he figures out what the words ‘transmigrator’ and ‘wiki’ mean.

    Or: That one where Shen Yuan and Luo Binghe don’t realize they’re in a domestic fluff bonus chapter.

    Summary

    “I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”

    “I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”

    “The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”

    “Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”

    --

    The Vampire Ascendent has crossed a line. Eleven years after making the biggest mistake of her life and losing the man she loved, tiefling wizard (now Archmage) Rosalie decides it’s time to put this Astarion in the ground for good. Hopefully, both her head and her heart are strong enough to see this awful task through to its end.

    Summary

    Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."

    And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.

    Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.

    Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

    Summary

    Garrett wakes up in the bunker and there’s Dutch, alive and well.

    He’s never been happier to wake up cuffed.

    He’s also never woken up so hopeless before either; he knows he’s caught in the middle of something he doesn’t really understand.

    (Garrett also doesn’t quite understand why John Seed has been so fixated on him, even before the time loops, before he killed him the first time around.)

    Summary

    Wangji stays on the piano bench as they’re closing up. Wei Ying chews his lip, knowing what he’s going to do but horrified at himself. But what’s the alternative: kick the guy out and find him sleeping beside the dumpster in the morning? And that’s if the cops don’t take him in for vagrancy.

    “Wangji?”

    Wangji looks up.

    Please don’t be a serial killer. “So, we’re closing up for the night, but A-Yuan and I live upstairs. Do you want to join us for dinner?”

    Wangji blinks. His head bobs in what’s probably a yes.

    “Great!”

     

    Fuck.

     

    Or a ragged monosyllabic man wearing a collar shows up at Wei Ying's music store. Wei Ying and A-Yuan ask, is anyone going to adopt this guy? And then they don't wait for an answer.

    Summary

    “Make me so ugly that no one will ever want me,” he says. “Please.”

    Or: Lan Wangji is kidnapped from the Lan Clan when he's still a small child. He retains no memories of his real identity, and only knows himself as a servant at Madam Ji's brothel. When the clients begin to look at him with interest, he finds someone to curse him and take away his true appearance, and with it any chance of ever finding his family.

    (Not a brothel fic, that's only the starting point. A Wangxian story. A Twin Jades story.)

    Summary

    The gashes in his stomach have healed to the point of a soft remaining redness. There’s a thinning scab, the skin ridged where it’s gone and stitched itself back together, though not much pain anymore. Not unless deep pressure is applied.

    Think it’ll scar? Norman asks.

    Summary

    COMPLETED. Fem!Connor AU, Kinkmeme fill.

    Thomas Hickey was a lot of unsavory things, not that he gave a damn; a drunk, thief, smuggler, an opportunist, murderer, a whoring lout, to say the least. His services sold to the highest bidder, there was little he swore loyalty to. But there remained a few lines he would not cross. Including when Charles “gifted” him with the annoying little assassin during their stay in Bridewell.

    Somehow, Hickey escaped Fem!Connor at the gallows and failed at killing Washington. Considering his extensive time in jail at Haytham's hands and Charles' increasingly unstable penchant for putting his personal vendettas first, Hickey started making himself scarce around his Templar brethren.

    To add insult to injury, he swiftly found his path constantly crossing with the infernally stubborn assassin's. Their goals in alignment more often than not, they acknowledged there was little gain in initially killing each other. And as loath as he was to admit it, a begrudging respect for Fem!Connor started to send him questioning his own truths. Yet, how long until Thomas found himself at the end of the assassin's blade? Or until he ended her life the sake of his own personal gain?

    Summary

    “If the body can’t warm up, then things get uh, b-bad?”

     

    Mobei-jun cuts him a look that’s made for slaughter. “What does that mean?”

     

    “A-ah, it’s called hypothermia, my king.”

     

    “And you die once it happens.”

     

    Again, not a question. “You can.” When Mobei-jun makes an absolutely terrifying face, Shang Qinghua hastens to add, “But not instantly! Y-you can actually recover from it, if the hypothermia doesn’t progress too far.”

     

    “How far?” Mobei-jun growls.

     

    “There are f-f-f-five stages,” Shang Qinghua shivers out, lips numb. “The fifth stage is death.”

     

    -

    Shang Qinghua and Mobei-jun have their spiritual powers sealed before getting dumped in a white-out snowstorm. Mobei-jun quickly learns that humans are far more susceptible to the cold than he thought.

    Summary

    “Nice,” Drunk Man says, into the crook of his neck, and does nothing else. Wei Ying slowly relaxes, allows himself to pat Drunk Man between the shoulder blades, and sighs.

    “Okay,” he says. “Glad you think so.”

    Drunk Man does not respond. Wei Ying wonders if he went back to sleep, and then takes a further moment to wonder why this always happens to him, why he’s always the one helping a heartbroken twink sober up after a terrible night out or sitting on the curb with a sobbing teenager with a fake ID while they wait for her parents to come pick her up. If only he was as shitty a person as White Mike, he could be home asleep right now and this beautiful man would be passed out in a gutter and probably mugged. Wei Ying looks down at the drunk man on his shoulder, thinks about leaving him to fend for himself, and sighs. Nope. Not on his watch.

    Or: A meet-cute at two in the morning.
