Summary
Ordinary college student Katelyn Winters is given a new lease on life when she's inadvertently teleported out of a traffic accident by teenage wizard Mallory Avalon. Just one problem: Mallory's spell didn't just summon her, it bound her as a familiar—and transformed her into a cat. Together, the two of them will do their best to manage the aftermath of this mishap while exploring their unlikely new friendship in this low-stakes slice-of-life urban fantasy drama.
New chapters weekly.
(Note: This is primarily original fiction with some light crossover elements sprinkled in here and there. I've tried to write it so that where the tagged fandoms do crop up, no prior knowledge should be necessary to understand what's going on.)

Summary
"The seats of the heavens shall shudder and break,
The thrones of the hells shall crack and shake.
Through orb’s shadow and crown’s flame, balance is spun—
The Chosen work unseen, and the new age is begun.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
Before Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, there was Vesper; A half-drow "child" of Bhaal destined to end divinity with the Chosen of Bane at his side.
That was, until his beloved half-sister (thankfully) divested him of his Chosen mantle (rather violently) and set in motion the events that would ultimately lead Vesper to Gale Dekarios, a charming wizard who claimed his heart (almost instantly).
In this collection of one-shots, follow Ves as he, Gale and their companions set out to find a cure for their parasites as well as uncovering the hidden depths of the Cult of the Absolute that holds the key to Ves' shadowed past.
WARNING: This is a Resist!Durge fic, but even so there will be lots of violence, blood, gore and bouts of madness.

Summary
It's that time of year again in Fraiserton, and Clint's busy getting ready for an even bigger Fall Festival. Guests are arriving, friends returning, and Philip is organizing all of it. Between snowball fights and ogling his sexy husband, Clint's day is going well.
Sam Wilson has watched all his friends finding their bonded mates -- hell, Natasha, James, Steven, and Anthony were a foursome -- and he's pretty sure that's not meant for him. No, he's the kind who's just a friend even if he maybe wants to be more.
Andrew knows who he is and, most importantly, how he got to this place in his life. He has his work in the stables, taking care of Sleipner and Brook Lynn, and helping Bruce in the infirmary. Anything else is more than a guy like him could hope for.
Then an unexpected face appears and things get turned upside down by some demons. It turns out, some kinds of bonds take time to grow.
Chapter one was originally posted as part of Clint Coulson Appreciation Week 2024. Chapter 2 is being posted during CCAW 2025.

Summary
Viola is drawn into Raphael's orbit after being teleported into the House of Hope. She is overwhelmed by a sense of familiarity, but can't place how or why she knows Raphael. While she can't remember the history between them that is too complicated to unwind, Raphael does, and he is determined to make her remember, no matter the cost.
Mostly random scenes set throughout the main plot that feature my durge and Raphael. It's pretty self-indulgent on my part, but I'm having fun! The further I get into it, the more spoilers there will be, especially for durge, so keep that in mind! -

Summary
“I’m just trying to reach Musutafu. Can any of you point me in the right direction?”
“Oh, we’re actually gonna be heading there too after—” the purple-haired girl starts to say before a hand slams over her mouth.
“DON’T REVEAL OUR PLANS, DUMBASS!”
The redhead rests a hand on their leader’s shoulder. “I mean, if he can help us find Kaminari, we could totally help him out in return!” When Bakugou doesn’t retaliate, he turns to Hitoshi. They all turn to Hitoshi.
“…Sure.”
or
The Bakusquad and Dekusquad are each their own parties in this medieval high fantasy setting. After receiving a cryptic letter asking him to meet and discuss something important with the Dekusquad party, Hitoshi has to find a way to the town they’re waiting at for him, finding the Bakusquad on the way there. He, a rogue enchanter, and his easily frightened cat have to deal with their bullshit. Especially Denki’s. This is a crack-fic which was treated very seriously.

Summary
For one moment she was all blood, and in that moment he wanted to devour her.
two monsters stumble into camaraderie and try not to get themselves too bloodied. they fail spectacularly.
astarion/durge, solely astarion's pov. game reconstruction/divergence, no canon scenes or dialogue after the nautiloid. lots of art, updates fridays, semi pre-written. heavy on the trauma, heavy on the humour.

Summary
Welcome, fans of dark fantasy—whether you know/like Mortal Kombat or not, these are *not* requirements to fully enjoy this series! This first chapter includes a list of characters that appear or are mentioned in Eternal Flame, the first book in the series and in this trilogy.
Here is a little blurb to get you ready for the epic adventure you are about to embark on:
Demon warrior Ashrah values her freedom above all and fights for it every day of her undead existence. After spending the last millennium as a slave to Archdevil Ulorzz, though, she feels more trapped than ever. It is then that she answers the call of a mysterious entity that reveals itself as Datusha, a sentient, psychic sword that promises Ashrah the freedom she has always dreamed of—freedom from Ulorzz, from the Netherrealm, and from the darkness within her soul. And all it wants in exchange is blood. Lots of it.

Summary
"The shadowed sun shall wed broken dusk,
The Weaves shall fray, the gods shall rust.
Through strife and love, all realmspace to save—
The eclipse endures, though all else may fade.So sayeth the wise Alaundo."
---
First, there was Ves—a half-drow bard hopelessly in love with Gale Dekarios, the wizard from Waterdeep. Their bond, born of shared trials across the Sword Coast, was unbreakable. So deeply did Ves love Gale that he sacrificed everything, even his mortal life, to remain by his side.
Now, as Moonshadow, God of the Eclipse, he is Gale’s divine partner, yet feels like a shadow in the path of Gale’s relentless ambition. Ascension has become a burden, and Moonshadow longs for the simplicity of his mortal life—of simply being Ves, Gale’s lover, free of celestial duties.
A long overdue visit to Faerûn stirs those old desires, making Moonshadow yearn for a life he can never reclaim. Watching Gale grow distant in his climb to power, Moonshadow questions if his sacrifice was in vain. Caught between love and a longing for lost mortality, can Moonshadow continue as the shadow of Gale’s ambition, or will his own desires lead him down a path of no return, even for a minor deity?

Summary
~
They had pretended that they could heal the past with a touch, that a kiss counted as forgiveness. And maybe it did, for her. But she is the one who left and the one who returned, already decided on what she wanted. He is the one who carries the burden of forgiving. Part of her wants to hold him close, so close that he has no choice but to let her in again.
But she knows him better than that.
~
It's been fifteen years since the fall of the Netherbrain, and eight years since Morgan set her foot in Baldur's Gate.
For the better part of a decade she has traveled Faerûn in search of the puzzle pieces to her past. For the better part of a decade she has hoped that piecing them together would grant her forgiveness for all the things she has done. Now she instead has to seek the forgiveness of the one she left behind.
Can they still find reconciliation, or has time changed both of them too much?

Summary
"Let's see what's inside! Maybe I'll get carrots instead of cabbages today," Bennett says hopefully.
He hits the lock with the butt of his sword and the lid pops open. Venti says something under his breath that Bennett doesn't quite catch. The top of the chest creaks as he pushes it open and a gasp leaves his lips. There isn't any carrots inside. Nor are there cabbages. Instead, there is a pouch of 500 mora, a couple of old books and some special ores.
"Holy whoa! We hit the jackpot!" He exclaims.
"Looks like your luck is changing," Venti laughs. He moves closer, peering into the chest and lets out a dejected sigh. "Would have been better if there was a bottle of wine in there."
Venti joins Bennett on an adventure and Bennett has a rare lucky day!
