Summary
"Sydney," Carmen repeats, with his gaze now boring into hers and chest heaving. "W-why is your name in Mikey's phone? And why the hell did you send him this picture?"
She doesn't have to ask which picture he's talking about. There's only one. There was only ever one. Because it is The One.
It's Carmy's paupiette of hamachi with blood orange.
(I completely screwed with the timeline whatever)

Summary
Travis Hackett is trying to make amends for his family's sins. Laura is just trying to take care of what's left of her family.
When the former Sheriff knocks on her door, he finds a grieving Laura with a baby on her hip, and suddenly the aimless future he was facing after his apology tour suddenly has a direction. She's seen him at his worst; now he wants to help her through hers.
They ended a werewolf curse together, so how hard can raising two small children together really be?

Summary
Lucy hasn't seen any member of the Howard Vampire Coven since Monty broke her heart and yanked away her chance of eternal life the day after her 18th birthday. A decade later, and now a deputy sheriff in a small town in the middle of Nowhere, Maine, Lucy's life is dramatically different. When Cooper Howard, the coven's patriarch, arrives at a crime scene as the new Medical Examiner, Lucy can't help but wonder if he's connected to the string of steadily growing murders, and if he ever discovered the secret she's kept for 10 years.
AKA, my fic for the Ghoulcy Week October 2024 Day #4 Vampire prompt, AKA the Ghoulcy AU fic that bravely answers a question we have all definitely asked ourselves: "What if Ghoulcy existed in a New Moon/Twilight AU where Bella realized Carlisle was a DILF, the Cullens still peaced out but there was no trips to Italy so Bella moved on with her life, until she reconnected with Carlisle years later for a small town murder mystery, and they ended up banging?" aka not your mother's Twilight AU.

Summary
“Bad luck to see the bride before the wedding,” he tuts, but smiles broadly at her father. “But what a pretty bride you’ve given me, MacLean.”
She’s not a thing. She’s not some passive prop. “My name is Lucy,” she tells him, unable to keep the challenge out of her voice.
His eyes are hazel. They bore into hers. It’s jarring. “Lucy,” he repeats, as if tasting the word, the name, her. Must find it satisfactory. Tilts his head to study her more closely.
“I'm your seventh bride,” she points out, and doesn't miss the way his lip twitches upward, gnarled skin pulling taught, a split second of amusement that must pain him.
“That a threat, sweetheart?”

Turning my tweet into a two-part fic:
Ghoulcy Modern AU: Cooper Howard's new Social Media Manager Lucy needs to explain why people are commenting "thirst trap" "DILF" and "any hole" on his random IG posts, without letting on she's one of the people also doing it. -

Summary
“You gotta wait to find their softness. Get them to forget you're there. Could take some time, but you have to be patient and outlast their suspicion. Gotta wait and let them give you the perfect moment.”
His gloves slid along her arms, cupping her right elbow to lift it. Together, they lined up the shot. Her breathing synced with his.
She pulled the trigger.

Multichap updates when whimsy strikes me
