Summary
Takes place right after Part II
On her way back to Jackson, Ellie spends the night in an abandoned little cabin in the woods. If she had known that the cabin would teleport her into a world where the cordyceps doesn't exist and Joel is very much alive, she'd have made a ten mile detour around it.
But as it is, she's stuck in a modern Jackson now and neither she nor Joel have any idea how to get her back. Ellie has no choice but to confront her demons, and Joel—
Well, he has a few demons of his own to deal with.

Summary
The Pride & Prejudice AU you didn't know you needed // Arranged marriage to love // Slow burn
"Why?" Verso asked, his pale eyes fixed on Gustave's face with unsettling intensity.
"Why sacrifice yourself for her?"
The question caught Gustave off guard. He opened his mouth, closed it again, searching for the right words.
"Because she is my sister," he said simply. "And I would do anything for her."In Belle Époque France, an old promise binds two families. When the promised bride refuses, her brother steps forward instead — binding himself to a man shaped by pride and expectation.
Gustave Virlogeux is practical, dependable, and entirely unremarkable — or so he has always believed. Verso Dessendre is composed, untouchable, and dangerously perceptive.
Their engagement is duty. Their courtship is stolen glances, careful distance, and the maddening warmth of a hand that lingers a moment too long.But what begins as obligation unfolds into a slow reckoning with everything they cannot say — until what was never supposed to be real becomes the only thing that is.

Summary
“I gather you have come to slay the beast?”
“Uh.” Sirius stared at the man lying on the grass. There was not a line of tension in his body, and he hadn’t dignified Sirius—Prince Sirius—with a single glance. “Er, yes. Right. The beast. Werewolf. Do you, uh, know where…it dwells?”
The man snorted and turned the page of his book.

prompt: According to tradition a new King/Queen/Leader must kill a werewolf to prove his worth and here I am to kill you but I just can’t seem to do it

Summary
“He thought he knew all pains, he was wrong.
His breaths came out short. Panting through the thoughts melting into each other. No matter how he shifted, the hurt sharpened itself, screeching through his body. He long wished to ignore it, but there was something so intimate about it that he couldn’t.””
Laying in his bed after experiencing a violating assault, Damian can’t find it within himself to act brave. Unable to be strong any longer, he finds himself calling for his father.
His father, who would let the universe burn if it meant that his youngest was safe in his arms.
