Summary
When a young Luz Noceda decides to drink the "potion" she finds, she was not expecting to end up with her reflection being replaced with a dark figure in the shape of a horned skeletal beast staring at her. Nor was she expecting to have her dreams filled with nightmarish lands, walking across black fur and twisting veins.
And if it had been anyone else subjected to this, they would see this as an unending hell.
Good thing Luz wasn't just anyone.
Grabbing her glitter pen and sparkly notebook, this small child is going to crack open the mysteries of her new friend "Skulley" and the weird patterns lining them, unlocking the magic she's certain lies within.
***
The Titan, Father of Witchkind and Demonkind, The Boiling Ilse itself has spent its afterlife trapped, waiting to succumb to "The Dark Place" where it lays and rots. The most it can do is watch their children be led to their deaths by a false prophet, unable to do a thing to stop it. The only thing distracting it from it's misery are the hallucinations of a small colorful blur whispering questions to it excitedly. A light in the dark, as it were.But is it just a hallucination?

Summary
Pious brother, to your vices
You were shunned, and burned your cradle
Claim killer, you claim martyr
My brother Cain, my brother AbelThe tale of the Wittebane brothers has been one drenched in loss since it’s beginning, from their early childhood in England, to their arrival in to the New World. Caleb Wittebane dedicated his whole life to protecting the only family he had left.
In the tiny settlement of Grave Field, so named after the Colony’s catastrophic first winter left less than 60 of the original 500 settlers alive, Caleb learns that when everyone is in survival mode fear is more dangerous than any weapon.
Basically, this fic exists because I am a giant history nerd with a hyperfixation on early 1600s America and frankly, as much as I love Wittebro fics, an awful lot of authors seem to fashion their settings in the style of Salem, but the colonial life in the 1610s did not look the same as it did in the 1690s. To put it in perspective: the time difference between the Wittebros arrival and the Salem Witchcraft Trials is the same amount of time between the sinking of the Titanic and the premiere of the James Cameron movie.

Summary
It's been almost 100 years since the human world and the Boiling Isles merged. Magic and technology evolved right along side each other, and corporations made sure to take full advantage of both of them. Cybernetic Augmentation, magic spells, gang wars, corporate controlled media, and plenty of other wonderfully horrible things can all be found in this new world. But the last thing Luz expected was to end up on the payroll of a Corpo Highborn. Is Amity really the stuck up corporate drone Luz thinks she is, or does that lemon drop have a hidden sweet center? Will Luz be able to become a city legend? And will they be able to survive the threads that work to pull the city down around them?
