Summary
The Grand Duke Anatol lost everything when the People's Coalition overthrew the Salona Dynasty. His parents and sister were disappeared. His princely cousins were tortured and killed. And his husband, his beloved Ismerie, was murdered by a man they both trusted. What followed for Anatol were years of nearly uninterrupted grief.
And then he woke up in Salona Palace. All of his mistakes undone, all of his family returned to him, his Ismerie alive.
Anatol has to keep it that way.

Summary
Jack thought his first year in the NHL would be 100% about hockey, but the reality is so much more complicated. (AU where the Goodbye for the Summer comics didn’t happen, because I had already written 80K words of this. But just because it’s canon doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy long, angsty, get-together stories, amirite?)

Summary
Genji can hear rain falling outside; thunder rumbling, deep and resonant. Someone breathing.
He isn’t alone.
There is warm skin under his fingers, a heartbeat thudding against his cheek, a big hand splayed loosely over the small of his back. Blankets tangle around his thighs, fabric brushing over the ends— he’s not wearing his prosthetics. Not his right arm, not either of his legs; no armor, no faceplate. Genji isn’t alarmed by this, which is troubling in and of itself, but he doesn’t question it right away.
Genji isn’t sure of where he is; isn’t sure of when he is, or what’s happened to him. The last thing he remembers with any clarity is heading back to the Watchpoint to answer the recall, but even that is foggy. There are snatches of things he knows must have come after— missions with newer Overwatch agents, conversations with Hanzo— but thinking too hard about it makes his head flare with sharp agony, and so Genji doesn’t.
Whoever is pressed against him in bed shifts, drawing Genji in closer in their sleep, and he blinks his eyes open. Jesse.
Of course it’s Jesse.

Summary
The house is off-white, pristine vinyl siding and a neatly trimmed lawn, just like the photos had shown. There were a couple of things the pictures hadn’t shown, though, most notably the pride flag mounted on a small pole at the end of the walkway. It blows gently in the breeze, the familiar rainbow of colors unexpected. Genji and Jesse share a look, then both glance back at the yard.
There’s a truck in the driveway with a flatbed trailer hitched up to it, full of old appliances and dusty furniture. The trailer’s metal ramp is unfolded onto the concrete, and there’s a man walking up it, carrying what looks like an old clothes dryer. It’s enormous, and bulky, and he carries it up the ramp and sets it down like it weighs nothing at all. His muscles flex, and he’s sweating, but that’s the only indication that he’s throwing around heavy furniture with staggering ease.
He’s definitely older.
They’re both staring as the man lifts the hem of his shirt to wipe sweat off his face. His abdomen is obscene.
“Is this the right house?” Jesse hears himself ask, almost forlorn. Genji nods in a daze without bothering to glance at his phone again.
“This is definitely where we need to be."

Summary
This series is a predominantly original series of dark fantasy / explicit fairytale erotica. It is a strange hybrid of mostly original work with my own original characters. Read the warnings and enjoy!
CORE to the story are:
1. Deeper into the Woods (40k total, a good introduction to the characters since the larger works are so long/daunting!)
2. Game Theory
3. The Nightingale and Terho the Mouse Lad
4. The Court of Five Thrones
5. The Ice PlagueEXTRAS (see: fae tales verse - canon extras for more)

Summary
Samwell is the kind of town where everyone knows everyone. That’s why everybody knows that Eric “Bitty” Bittle’s bakery is the only place to get a decent pie, why everybody knows that if you want to teach your kid to dance or sing you send them to Adam Birkholtz, and why everybody in town has a bet on when single dad Derek Nurse and diner owner and purveyor of Samwell’s best coffee Will Poindexter are going to finally stop messing around and get together.
(or: the Gilmore Girls au that absolutely no one asked for)

Summary
The thing is, he’s had study nights and tv marathons in Chowder’s room. He’s gotten stoned in Shitty’s, and Lardo’s, crashed on Jack’s floor after a kegster, gone to Bitty’s for advice, and checked Ransom and Holster’s for ghosts. If it were anyone else’s, Nursey would at least have some indicator of what was going on, because he’d be able to recognise the decorations, the layout.
But Derek Nurse wakes up in William Poindexter’s room and has no idea where the fuck he is.
