Summary
There was an idea to participate in kinktober, but not just like that, but to link Katawa shoujo here. I didn't find the current list, so I made my own. If the chapters stopped coming out, then I was most likely taken to the army.

Summary
Usually by now I would have some grand new story to share, but this year has been more of an audit on my past works and adding music to everything and doing little things that make the reading experience for the Casual Collection that much more engaging. However, if anyone is interested in staring at visual maps I drew in Krita, I'm making a giant lore leap for the series to make it something more of my own. Hear my unfiltered thoughts on myself, MGE, and the future ^^

Summary
“I don’t believe in reincarnation,” Rebecca says. Her ovaries say otherwise.
In which:
A hot, brooding serpent demigoddess bites first, asks questions never.
Rebecca's uterus becomes ground zero for a mystical baby the universe forgot to warn her about.
Ancient magic and modern Bangkok collide in a tropical fever dream of fate, sex, and drama wrapped in divinity.
Soulmates are real, the jungle is sentient, and Sarocha's fang marks are not just kink trophies.
Rebecca thought she was just digging for artifacts in Thailand.
Now she’s mated, magical, and a catalyst for cosmic rebirth.
There is no chill. Only yearning.

Summary
Strondheim University is the first of its kind, offering classes in witchcraft and alchemy alongside more mundane subjects. Drysia Sitova is glad to have a scholarship somewhere that her not-quite-human qualities won't draw attention, but she's more worried about not flunking out of English than her own magical potential. When her boyfriend develops a mysterious illness that leaves human doctors stumped she is forced to look for help from witches, magical creatures, and her fellow metahumans.
It soon becomes clear that not only are there monsters at Strondheim University, but if she's going to save both her scholarship and her love life she's going to have to figure out which ones she can trust.

Summary
A full Hannibal NBC retelling/AU where Will did “stick to repairing boat motors in Louisiana.” His life in a small town is trapped in uneasy peace - until bodies begin turning up in the swamp, all killed the same way. While out on the river, he runs into one of the scenes and makes a startling discovery: he can almost see what happened and understand why the killer did it - and it terrifies him. He flees the scene, but is soon tracked down by the BAU for his involvement in the scene, forcing him to confess what he saw and become involved in the investigation or be blamed for a crime he did not commit. Doubting his story, Jack decides to have an esteemed, oddly charismatic profiler and psychiatrist from Baltimore profile Will to determine whether he is a suspect or an asset. As Will speaks with the Doctor and grows closer to him, he begins to doubt his own memory and innocence, and it seems that whether he's found guilty or not he will never return to any sort of peaceful life again.
CW: Violence typical of Hannibal, though I avoid overly detailed descriptions. Mentions/themes of anxiety/depression and suicidal thoughts from !depressedwill, themes of manipulation/control. Slowburn because Will hates Lecter's guts.
