Summary
In the gloomy streets of Victorian London, a vampire is moonlighting as a vigilante. They seem to be protecting the innocent and punishing the corrupt under the cover of night. But why, and what is it all for?
This is a story of two vampires, former lovers, and the one that was sired. Welcome in Lord Alistair MacKay, the sole owner of Dorcha Castle and a writer and artist in his spare time, his former lover who goes by the name of Fenella, and the one and only man Alistair ever turned, Duncan. The latter is ruthless, and so they bid him farewell a half-century ago, but he’s decided to return. Again, the only question worth asking is why?
(This spooky Twissy story is completely AU. It's just something I decided to write for October. I've written these original characters for 10+ years in roleplay stories with friends and finally decided to bring them to AO3 as well. Alistair and Fenella were based on Peter/Michelle and Twelve/Missy. Expect deep dives into the supernatural and Victorian society. Also of note, if you're curious about the book covers for this story, you can find them here.)

Summary
Benjamin had to cull his bitterness as he came to the realization that, while there was an Arbiter placing a hand over his thigh, Carmen and Ayin must be drinking champagne.
The woman—Garion—squeezed his thigh, and it could have been good-natured, if it didn't make Benjamin jump. Internally, he cursed himself. That was not the plan. He would have to hold himself together until dawn lest it all have been in vain.
“Now, now. Don't be a coward.”
Or, in which Hokma and Binah meet much earlier.

Summary
'Love and Marriage, they go together like a horse and carriage', goes the song.
But how do desire, attraction and affection evolve in a happy marriage? Here is a fic following John and Margaret's love through the years, to explore these universal themes.
About the title: "The Air Is Full Of Spices" is a quote from 1995's movie Sense and Sensibility, when Colonel Brandon answers young Margaret Dashwood's question about India. Close your eyes and hear dear Alan Rickman's velvety voice speak his reply... you'll get a good notion of my inspiration for this story 😍

Summary
Sage has spent so much time with their crew that they forget that all of them are, well, mortal and fallible. Wait, they knew the fallible part, of course, but mortal? It was so easy to see their little crew as something that would last forever. That their days of bickering, shoving, pulling, fighting and laughing would fade into aching muscles, old souls and grey hairs.
Or, Sage watches their crew die. One by one.

Summary
To fall in love is the easy part.
It’s everything that comes after, the choice to keep loving whole-heartedly even when it gets hard, to let someone in, to be known fully and truly, that takes strength.
Perhaps it’s fortunate, then, that Narumi Gen and Hoshina Soushirou are among the strongest in their country.

Summary
A century later, a knock on Nova’s door reopens the story.
The boy standing there is Victor the Sixth — descendant of the man she once loved. What follows is not a romance, but something quieter and just as sacred: a lifelong friendship told in small, luminous moments.
Together, Nova and Victor (the Sixth) honor the story that came before them — building a memorial for the first Victor, celebrating the births and graduations that follow, and learning that some love doesn’t vanish when time runs out. It changes shape, like light through leaves.

Summary
Ex-Military soldier Greg, now “Dog Man”, has been trying to clean up the streets of Ohkay City ever since he was “relieved” from duty, having been turned into a hybrid combining his dog head and his handler-Knight’s-body while overseas. While dropping off a criminal he injured near the only hospital farthest from the police precinct, he’s approached by a small orange tabby kitten who won’t leave him be.
Petey is a surgeon at one of the hospitals of Ohkay City, working his hardest to support himself and his son. So what’s one cat to do when his son goes missing and his coworkers tell him a monster took him?!
A little white lie turns half a city upside down but brings a torn hybrid and an overworked father together in very unlikely of ways.
Too bad the people from Dogman’s past won’t allow him to finally live in peace.
