Tumblr Writing Collection: Isekai AU With Library Monster Maxim by KathBunny

Summary
It's as the title says! I won't be giving this any tags for the individual stories, to avoid flooding any searches, however each one will have the required warnings in the notes.
This is also an excuse to go through and edit these a bit, so these won't be completely the same as the Tumblr ones, possibly having extra words, if I feel like it for that particular work. The overall shape and storyline for each one won't change through.
Only the main trio featured are tagged, even if they aren't the only characters. -

Summary
Also known as "Warlock VR-LA AU."
After his adventure in the Maze of Life, VR-LA was given the memories of an alternate timeline. With so much to do in the face of a world-ending threat, he didn't have much time to dwell on it. But afterward, with his new Magister duties and adventures with the crew ahead, he has more time to consider that alternate history and his strange connection to this other version of himself. And through that bond, he begins to recognize something odd in the memories that he witnesses. In an odd twist of magic and fate, VR-LA finds himself the warlock patron of… himself.

Summary
It was almost three years since Emerson had disappeared. Three years of Veerla hunting for any clue to where he went, of how he had vanished. He had chased down every lead he had, pulled on every little thread he could. Some had led to dead ends, some had led him down yet another rabbit hole with more clues to pick at.
The newest addition had been added three days ago, words written with a shaky hand on a torn piece of paper.
Found dead from three bullet wounds to the chest and one to the head.

MR-SN turned and was met with the sight of the crew’s young ward, Dani, still in her night clothes, face tear streaked and hands shivering. She flinched a little as his eyes landed on her, like she had been caught doing something she shouldn’t, which, MR-SN supposed, she had. It was well past her bedtime.
In an AU where little street kid Dani is adopted by the mechanite crew of the Per Aspera, she has a nightmare and goes to a certain captain for comfort

My first try at fanfiction that I actually finished.
Have some VR-LA and MR-SN... fluff? angst? I don't know what it is.
It was done pretty quickly so constructive criticism is accepted as I want to get better at writing -

Summary
Maxim is a privateer out of the port city of Sigil, captaining the ship Aegis. Unfortunately for him, it's rather difficult to hold down a crew when your single-minded drive and cold demeanor isolate you from most people. Relying on the loyalty of his fae-kin first mate and the motley skeleton crew he's able to assemble, he once more sets sail onto the Astral Seas in pursuit of the most lucrative bounty of all- the scourge that is the pirate crew of the Per Aspera.
At least, that's what he tells his handler back in Sigil. After all, who would fund a revenge mission to chase down a myth that no other person has survived to witness?

Until his wizard does the insane, and the impossible. -

Summary
“Quite the night for a swim… May I join you?”
Veerle looked up, locking eyes with Emerson, his hair falling around his face as he peered over the railing. His eyes were the same dark as the sky, shirt billowing pale and phantasmal as though he wore moonbeams rather than fabric, rings still adorning his hands despite his night clothes. He blinked dumbly, before managing a small nod.

Two idiots try to talk and avoid talking about their pasts during a pleasant night swim.Series

Part II: New and somewhat accidental Captain Maxim faces the new workload brought by his travelling home, but is met by a friend instead. Neither work nor rest seems to be about to get done.Series
