Summary
Fate and circumstance have a way of conspiring to bring Will Graham closer and closer to the man he called a friend, a monster, an arch enemy, his paddle, his way out of dark places and his infernal guide through the bowels of hell. And so, and perhaps inevitably, a lover. But is the fault really written in the stars, or in Will’s own self?
And is the clock ticking forwards, or backwards? Or has it stopped altogether?

Summary
Rey shook her head, her gaze maintaining its earnest quality. “I think you are just what Sleepy Hollow needs.” She placed her hand on his bicep once more, the movement unleashing a new flood of desire inside him. “You are just what I need,” she added, her voice a soothing murmur to his ears. “I told you before, Ben. We are meant to help each other. I’ve dreamt it.”
Straightening his back, Ben attempted to maintain his composure. He berated himself with the reminder that he came to Sleepy Hollow to investigate, not to succumb to a seduction by the most beguiling woman he had ever met. “Dreams do not subscribe to logic. All investigations are based on deductive reasoning.”
Rey shook her head again, the candlelight shining on her brown curls like a golden crown. “Not this one,” she whispered, withdrawing her hand in an evident sign of departure. “I assure you, Ben, this investigation will be quite different.”

Summary
From the text:
"I met a woman in the village today. She said strange things about you." She raised her hand and extended her arm towards me, "What's wrong? Why don't you look at me, Carmilla? Look at me!"She yelled.
It wasn't me who raised the head and looked at her, no, it was the demon who was living inside me, it was the pure killer instinct, it was hunger and darkness.
She jumped to the sight of my canines, my beastly eyes, and the inhuman sound that my throat produced. I moved my hand to cover my fangs, but it was late, too late: she had seen the beast, the creature of the night that I have been trying to hide for years.
" She was right." Her voice trembled, perhaps with fear, perhaps anger... probably both. "You're a monster."
Those words pierced my heart, though motionless, it was still able to feel pain, like that of any living being. "I can explain..." I tried. -

Summary
Roman and Remus have a dinner party and try to poison each other but avoid being poisoned themselves while also maintaining civility and politeness despite knowing they're both trying to kill each other (but all in good fun!). It's literally just Roman and Remus being theater nerds and playing a very elaborate game of pretend with high stakes. Boys being boys style.
Virgil shows up briefly at the end; Patton and Logan get mentioned.
***Warnings: Swearing. Elements of horror. Suggested cannibalism/blood-drinking but it doesn't happen and mentioning it sounds worse than it actually is. Stay safe y'all |-/

Summary
There was a madness that sung the seas of Yiling, dark and proud and always hidden in the bottomless abyss. Melodies of rich ocean breeze had always treaded the waves.
If they who strung above the water did ever hear them, let them cross their heart and hope their ancestors carve a way to the nether heavens.
For what holds the abyss within the seas is not its dark waters but that which swims deep beneath.

Summary
Once upon a time, when I was a little girl, my mother told us tales of monsters. Men turned into wolves beneath a full moon, witches haunted the blackened depths of forests and spirited away the souls of misbehaving children, and she even talked of local legends, of the four lords that ruled our village...
These were stories to scare us children into obedience, so we wouldn’t stray too far from home and get snatched by the monsters that lurked along the outskirts of the village. They were to keep us safe, to keep us under control and at the thighs of our mothers.
All I ever thought they were were just that: stories. Fables to frighten us all into instilling ourselves with wary minds and cautious hearts.
But these stories told us of monsters. Cruel ones that thrived on human flesh and misery.
Little did I know I was just how untrue some of these tales were.

A Moreau monster lover romance fic inspired by fairytales like Beauty and the Beast, films like Guillermo del Toro's 'The Shape of Water', and folk stories like the myth of Eros & Psyche!
