Summary
Iris never feared the inevitable. Death, however, arrives not as an end—but as a beginning.
Ironically, this fic was written for the Spring Writing Event (r/FanfictionExchange) and yet, here we are, knee-deep in the Underworld instead of basking in fields of wildflowers.
Perhaps Spring is not just a season, not just a place, but a feeling, a presence that lingers... or someone who remains, even in the dark.

Summary
Wherein the Dark Urge discovers the truth behind her memory loss, goes on a journey of self discovery that ends up being more of a trail of corpses, and decides to take over the world.
Everything can be read as a standalone, and everything is in chronological order.
Where to start reading is up to you:
1: Pre-canon Dark Urge. One-shots prior to the longfics are pre-tadpole and pre-canon stories. Expect the usual atrocities.2: Ruin's tale: The two longfics are an arc with a 1st POV of post-tadpole Dark Urge. Begin with Under the Black Hand, which is an Act 3 revision (starts off where you think, does not end where you think) and is the only story during the events of the game. Closing the Fist picks up one month post-canon (how actually will you take over the world? it's complicated).
3: Gortash's tale: POV third, picking up on trauma from House of Hope and continues the post-canon journey, starts with Down Comes the Claw.
4: Multi-POV (Minthara/Ruin/others): Alternating POV 1st and third, The Grip of Steel starts 1 year post-game. This longfic will bring this tale to its finale.

Summary
A mission gone wrong. A missing agent. A wanted criminal on the run. Just another Tuesday for the Musketeers, the special unit of the French police force.
"These botched operations will go down in the Garrison's history as one of its most disgraceful moments, bested only by Savoy."

Summary
After losing most of his unit in a disastrous D-Day mission, Derwin Grunauer returns to his hometown near Miami, body riddled with scars and heart heavy with guilt, only to find his neighbors shunning him due to his German name. He retreats into his family mansion and remains there, unwilling to rejoin the living, until the day Alba Reyes turns up at his door with a basket full of warm bread. As the daughter of a Cuban immigrant, Alba knows something of being an outsider, and when she offers to work for Derwin as his housekeeper, it is not only to pay off her father's debt to the Grunauers, but also because she feels some connection to the reclusive young man. When that connection develops into something more, they must overcome both the town's prejudice and their own doubts to find happiness.
