Basgiath School of Medicine: where they teach you how to save lives, if only you can survive the drama.
Or: the modern med school AU in which Xaden and Violet are nepo babies (but brilliant nevertheless), Garrick and Imogen are complicated (but don't you dare tell them this), and Dain and Sloane are wild cards (fighting their chemistry, but it's a losing battle).

Summary
"Is that a threat?" Cato cocks his head at me, but I can tell by his tone that he knows I won't be the one to turn on him.
"You know damn good and well that I don't need to wait till you're asleep to be able to kill you," I reply. "I want to be able to look you in the eye when I slit your throat."
He smirks. I swear I think I see him lick his lips for a split second. I narrow my eyes at him in return. He's enjoying this too much.
Or: the AU in which Clove and Cato accidentally have a one-night-stand and have to learn the hard way that actions do in fact have consequences!

Summary
Welcome to my Dain Aetos and Sloane Mairi universe! Here you will find palpable yearning, a soft & sexy secret relationship, sustained chaos, and utter devotion (in short: a good time is had by all ❤️🔥)
This series includes my Dain and Sloane establishing story, “follow me like the moon" and the associated fics that build on it. In this little timeline, I've placed the genesis of Dain and Sloane’s relationship in Chapter 28 of Onyx Storm—between the two isles trips.
Stories take place throughout the remainder of Onyx Storm and can be read as standalones, though each fic builds on those that came before, so might be best enjoyed in order.
The series "officially" concludes with "i came from the crowd seeking you," which also includes a little epilogue to the entire miniseries. Bonus post-canon oneshots may be added at random (we see you, domestic Slain!)
I so hope you enjoy 🫶

Summary
“Take a trip to the sparring gym tomorrow, Mairi,” he suggests mildly. “You need to hit something.”
“I need to hit you.”
Dain’s gaze snaps back to mine. His eyes roam my face, my body, and I know he clocks how hard I’m breathing. I’m being assessed, but I can’t tell if it’s my wingleader doing it or just… him.
“Okay,” he says, nodding slowly. “We deal with this now.”

Summary
"You killed my brother!"
His voice is choked and coarse and reverent when he says, "Yeah? Tell me something I don't know, Mairi."
Or: the five times Sloane Mairi and Dain Aetos have hate sex plus the one time they don't.

Summary
Sloane Mairi was forged in the fire of grief. Over the course of her short life, she's grieved for her parents, her province, and now her brother. The flames of her grief and anger could consume her, devour her, if she lets them, but without them, how would she go on?
Dain Aetos isn't sure who he is or what he's doing. Lately, he's begun to doubt everything he's ever known, himself most of all. Lately, he's been looking for answers to questions he's never thought to ask before.
Can these two broken souls find peace in the unlikeliest of places: each other?

Summary
I start to drift back across the rink towards the boards so I can set down my earbuds — they’re the cheapest ones I could get, which means they go flying at any significant movement, and my leggings don’t have goddamn pockets — when I realise I’m no longer alone, now abruptly face to face with another human being.
Worse, it’s a human being I recognise. And certainly not one I’m thrilled to see.
It’s one of the hockey players. Captain of the men’s team, to be specific. He’s twice my size, broad-shouldered and brawny, with dark hair and russet skin, a single white scar bisecting his brow that’s dramatically rumoured to be a souvenir from a backwater bar fight. He’s the sort of athlete that never fails to reduce women into giggling caricatures falling over themselves, and more infuriatingly he knows it.
Xaden Riorson.
Or: the hockey player/figure skater AU that nobody asked for!
